    If ever you are in Chico... try this restaurant! Always busy and long lines but it goes fast. You will enjoy the experience. Hint.. watch others in line and watch what they do... Enjoy!

    Dinner: Egg rolls and fried wonton chips with sweet and sour dipping sauce and a small squeeze of hot mustard (?)

    2.5 stars for this place Okay - two AYCE dinners (~$25 /each) + 2 drinks + tip (servers & the cooks) - in total spent about 75-80$ You'd think the drinks would be included in the overall meal since it is AYCE for dinner , but nope. However, you do get unlimited soup of the day, rice, and the sides like egg rolls and wonton chips ... soo I guess that makes up for the price ?? Here is the trick and this is WHY I think everyone LOVES this place... It's NOT about HOW many trips / bowls you can eat that makes this place ummmm... "great" (what people wrote) it's honestly HOW WELL you can PACK your food INTO one bowl... literally like - building a tower of food in one bowl ! Becauuuuseeeee ... here's the catch... If you go for dinner and you want to take your food home (leftovers) you only get ONE TRIP THROUGH THE LINE .. This means- if you finish your FIRST bowl and you want to go back for seconds, you are now disqualified from taking home any of your leftovers... how does that make sense .!? Sooo - the trick is .. and based on what I've seen & now I know WHY people "love" this place so much... is they take two bowls.. use ONE bowl as their primary bowl and the other bowl to PRESS DOWN , TO MAKE THEIR FOOD FIT .. not kidding .. like smush ALL the ingredients into the other bowl for their one pass. I saw everyone doing this.. towards the end of the line and before the food gets cooked, it's a HUGE tower.! That's your ONE pass .. now that you have your tower and your big pile of food .. you can get that cooked.. once your food is cooked, you can feast on the free side dishes that are given per "dinner meal" .. and take your "leftovers" home whatttt.!!? .. if you plan to go there for ONE pass only, go for lunch. Definitely not worth the "AYCE" dinner 1 star for the restaurant itself .. 1.5 for the service. Honestly- not worth it for dinner and I don't think it's worth it.. period.

    Perfect bowl!

    When I lived in the area 20 years ago Hulas was my favorite place to eat, haven't been here in at least 15 years and it didn't disappoint! I wish we had a Hulas in the Bay Area, none of the Mongolian bbq places here compare to how good Hulas is! The service was as amazing as it was way back when I went regularly, the wait staff and cooks were fast, friendly, and attentive. If I had one complaint it would be that there's no Hulas in San Jose!

    Went again last night with a large group of people, and no matter how many people is in your party. The service is always impeccable. I went for lunch this time I was surprised at the price of the bill! It's extremely affordable, considering prices at other restaurants and the amount of food you receive! Highly recommend!!

    If you give this place anything less than 5 stars you suck at cooking. Because they give you everything you need to succeed.

    What is the price for lunch? Dinner? I could've find it on the website.

    To eat there is a little more expensive than to take out. Last I went was around $18 per person.

    I was charging my rental Tesla in the parking lot, and Starbucks had a long line. I saw this place…read morehad Boba tea, which I enjoy, so I came in here instead. The place is clean and everybody was friendly. The food is on a cafeteria type line, you just pick out what you want, and then they serve it to you and you take it to your table. I can't speak to the main dishes, themselves, as I just came in for a Boba tea. I did see that they also had wontons on the line, so I also did an order of wontons as a snack. The wontons were wonderfully crispy, and not greasy at all, and they were very generous with the portion. I liked the sweet-and-sour sauce, it was sweet and just a little bit tangy. I had the Matcha milk tea, it was creamy and had a wonderful flavor. It's hard to describe the flavor of Matcha, but I do like it. It was a bit sweet, and just a bit savory. They asked me if I wanted the Boba pearls, which I did because I like them a lot, and they were very generous with them. A milk tea and an order of wontons was only nine bucks. Extremely reasonable. Thank you for a nice stop.

    The service was incredibly slow. The restaurant was packed and DoorDash was flowing in and out as…read morewell. A party of 3 was seated next to us and the man was visibly under the influence. He was loud and was making odd gestures. The staff seemed unaware. We ended up asking for our food to go. I was not offered any compensation after I explained the situation. The curry was delicious and the fresh rolls were great. I will never eat there again. The inexperienced staff had no idea how to handle the situation.
