We had such a wonderful experience at Hola Hoops! We really loved the interior design, and my kids especially enjoyed all the little details that reminded them of Hawaii. The servers were very nice, and the owner was so welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious! My son loved the Parmesan fries, and my daughter really enjoyed the chicken and waffles. I had the sisig silog and ube pancakes, and I enjoyed both! Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and friendly service. We'll definitely be back! Highly recommend! read more

This place was too cute. Derrick the server was so kind, his energy was great and he took very well care of us. He really added to the experience. The decorations inside were very nice. The only downside would be that the place can get crowded and there is not a lot of room but we had no issues. The French toast was so good. It was nice and moist, portions were perfect where it filled me up. It was also plated so well! Chicken was tender and full of flavor. I'll be back! read more

I've been here for brunch and dinner and I can confidently say that this place brings the vibes. It has great ambience really cool decor and the staff is also really attentive and friendly most recently. I went for brunch and I ordered the combo silog which is Filipino style. I think the longaniza and bbq pork were good but I'd pass on the Sisig it's a little dry. This place has really unique and fun drinks and cocktails for sharing or individuals too. My boyfriend ordered the chicken loco Moko and the chicken was so juicy and crispy so that is a great brunch option too. read more

Hula Hoops - Hawaiian Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Hula Hoops caught my attention years ago with their Hawaiian- and Asian-fusion-inspired fare. Having moved to the Bay Area from Hawai'i, where I was pampered with this cuisine. I made reservations for Father's Day since my Dad was interested in checking it out as well. Right when I stepped in, I felt like I was in a touristy part of the island with the decor. Lots of tiki and beach items. The space itself isn't too big, so there are some high tops, tables, and an outdoor seating area--but tables are kinda close together. There's a lot of local music playing, which I loved. The staff who served or helped us were nice and friendly. Our food did take a while to come out at times, but we weren't in a rush.0 From the starters, savory entrees, sweet dishes, and veggie options, it was hard to choose among them. We ended up sharing the Spam Fries, which were very flavorful, salty, and crispy. It was good, and I'd recommend it if you like spam! I had the Silog Breakfast with Sisig, and my Dad had the Impossible Loco Moco. I found my dish to be just fine; it didn't blow me away. It was tangy, but I wish there were more flavor. My Dad said his dish was decent. I'd probably order something else if I were to come back. If you're looking for something distinct . Find the restaurant in Westborough Square with parking in the free lot. My little taste of the 808 here makes my Dad and I miss it even more--mahalo Hula Hoops! read more

I want to like this place... I think the decor is brilliant and the staff is friendly, I just can't get around the food. The portions were good, but everything was just OK. Nothing stood out, nothing was exemplary or scrumptious. Hula Hoops is tucked away in the Westborough Square shopping center in South San Francisco. Parking was not an issue, with plenty of spaces available. The venue itself is not the biggest, however they use their space well. The decor is Polynesian Island theme along with anime and Marvel characters. Very eccentric, I liked it and thought it was unique. The big let down for me was the food... ENTRÉES: ~ Loco Moco Combo (Mochiko Fried Chicken & Kalua Pork) - 2.75/5 It was OK. Good size portion. The Mochiko Fried Chicken was a disappointing and the Kalua Pork was OK. I thought both lacked flavor. Mac salad was also just OK. The bigger issue was the eggs. We asked for over easy, instead we got over cooked eggs. I'm not one to send stuff back to the kitchen or make a fuss. It was just not what we requested. FROM THE SEA: ~ Grilled Squid - 3/5 Meh... We didn't enjoy the texture. The edges were fine, but the body of Squid was rubbery. This could have been much better Dessert: ~ UBE FLAN - 3/5 Presentation is brilliant. That was about it, the taste didn't match the visual presentation. Somehow it was bland. ~ UBE BARS - 3/5 This was just OK. It was more like a dessert bar with a hint of Ube. We also had an issue with their gift cards as well, they were unable to sort it out. We're still waiting to hear back from them. Not sure if Hula Hoops had an off day or we just didn't get the right things. Probably my first and last time here... I do wish them well tho. read more

I really like this Hawaiian/ Filipino spot in Daly City. I know it's known for their brunch but I went there for dinner and it hit the spot!!! My favorite was the sisig tots and the spam fries, the flavors were so good and flavorful. The server was a little slow but they were so friendly and nice which made the experience better! read more

This place has a nice island vibe where you can eat indoors or outdoors. We were doubting if we were going to be seated anytime soon since it was Father's Day, but we ended up being seated right away in the tiki room. Also, our server was great, kept on checking on us, giving us suggestions, and entertaining us with some magic tricks. From our server's recommendations, we ended up getting the Lapu Lapu, Mochiko Chicken Loco Moco, Kamehameha BBQ Chicken, Sisig Fried Rice, and Poke Nachos, Ubemisu, and Ube Bars. The Lapu Lapu is a sweet and refreshing drink, definitely something you will like if you want something sweet instead of strong. The Mochiko Chicken Loco Moco was really good. You get the taste of Beef Loco Moco in chicken form. The Chicken also added more of a crunchy texture from the crispy skin while having very moist meat. The Kamehameha BBQ Chicken was also tasty, with the moist meat. The Sisig Fried Rice was really good, being moist and had plenty of Sisig. The Poke Nachos had a decent amount of Poke and Avacado, and had a nice crunch with the Wanton Chips. The Ubemisu was a crowd favorite. I thought it was not going to taste like Ube because of the light color of the Cream, but I was glad to be wrong. It was very moist and thankfully had good Ube flavor. The Ube Bars were not bad. Also, could taste the Ube, but was more dense and just found the Ubemisu better. Overall, great food and service. Definitely would come back here again to try more delicious treats. read more

Super yummmmmy! Felt like we were back in Hawaii. We got 5 appetizers to share for dinner. They were all so good and fresh. It's a smaller restaurant but we went in a Friday at 7 and didn't have to wait at all they sat us right away. Had a girl singing live inside the restaurant which was nice for a Friday night. Servers were all friendly and helpful. My only 2 complaints would be our mai tais came half way though dinner, and we kind of didn't want them anymore. And 2, the singing was so beautiful but it was a bit loud for such a small restaurant, we were kind of yelling over the table to talk. We will definitely be back to try more of their stuff!!! read more

went for Mother's Day and any of the pork dishes would be great if you're not sure what to order. It's so flavorful and definitely stood out from the other protein options. Also loved the drink menu. So many fun options! read more

For appetizers, we liked the lumpia Shanghai more than the spam musubi. I think the sauce for the poke bowl is based off the one for lumpiang sariwa, but you have the umami aftertaste of soy sauce without the strength of garlic. Loco moco has good gravy. The accompanying mochiko fried chicken reminded us of Jollibee. Seafood pan roast had good scallops and green onion garnish kept the sauce from feeling too heavy. read more

Reserved on open table for 3:30 pm but since it was traffic, I can't modify my reservation online but it prompted me to call. I was able to get hold of someone & took note of it then hang up without asking for my name. Anyhow, we made it after 15 mins, we got seated bec the place is almost empty. Food is good, a great fusion of filipino & polynesian. Place is small, bet it'll be crowded if full. Service is quick & servings is just enough. read more

A party of 3 with reservations celebrating a friends birthday. They provided us a table in the back in their unique tiki room which was nicely decorated, quaint and semi private. The service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the poke nachos for appetizer, POG mimosa bucket to share and the coconut drink. We each ordered a dish-I had the silog sisig n pork bbq-I had left overs to take home. read more

Six of us came to dinner at 6pm on a Saturday night. We didn't know they would have live music. It was hard to talk over the live entertainment. We ordered family style and shared all the dishes. I had a pineapple martini. It was tart just the way I like it. We shared spam fries, sisig fried rice, whole squid, a large short rib with kimchee fried rice, chicken kaarage loco moco, island wings and brussel sprouts. Everything was a little small and pricey. Only about 8 pieces of spam fries in the container. The large squid was actually really good. We also enjoyed the short rib to a tune of $40. Make sure you pay in cash. If you use a credit card they add on 3% service read more

Went to Hula Hoops in South San Francisco for happy hour with a friend and it was a solid time. We got the Ube Martini and a Mai Tai, both really good and easy to sip on while snacking. For food we kind of went all in on happy hour items: Shanghai lumpia, cheesy tots, truffle fries, kalua pork sliders, and spam musubi. Everything was actually really good and for happy hour pricing it felt like a great deal. Shoutout to our server Maddy who was super sweet and really on it the whole time. Made the experience way better. Only thing that felt a little off was the vibe. I expected more Hawaiian music, but it was mostly EDM and R&B. Also the doors were open so it got pretty cold inside after a while. Overall though, I'd still come back. Good drinks, good food, and good service for a casual happy hour in the Bay. read more

Hula Hoops - Lumpia Shanghai - Hawaiian Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Great happy hour offerings from 3-530pm week days. Plates are $6-8 average saving a few dollars each plus drink options! 5/5 Lumpia Shanghai were crispy and slightly sweet sour sauce. Really enjoyed I could inhale more 5/5 Bibingka Cornbread is a nice coconut flavor and not too sweet. Soft and delicious 4/5 Kalua Pork Sliders are like a BBQ pulled pork though sweeter flavor profile. Enjoyed the super soft Hawaiian roll 4/5 Spam Musubi was very filling and nice portion. Challenging to bite the seaweed wrapping which was a bit rubbery vs flakey 4/5 Ube Pina Colada was cute presentation and solid flavor and alcohol ratio. There were some hard bits of some ube blocks(?) not fully blended at bottom. Overall a great drink deal since the full price menu is much more Staff was friendly but not a ton of facetime. Note a 3% surcharge using credit card vs paying cash read more

Second time frequenting Hula Hoops and the experience was really fun, delicious and full of great vibes :) Hawaiin Filipino Brunch goodness with a twist on the fun tiki bar vibes you'd get! Our server this time around was very full of energy (wish we got her name haha) but we swear the tips she gave us for each dish..... she aced the exam basically! Bring a group for a great time with delicious filling bites! Onto the foodie review: Spam fries: GO HERE FOR THIS!! The aiolis all mixed together with salty crunchy good bites Chicken adobo / Longanisa / tocino silog combo! A classic breakfast staple with delicious garlic rice, a beautiful runny egg paired with a palette cleansing vinegar sauce! Honestly got this for my self but easily shareable with a table of 3!! Tuna Poke Nachos: Simple, beautifully plated like it's Michelin with a light sweet soy akin sauce. A great starter to the brunch!! Scorpion bowl: Their spin on a gigantic flaming fish bowl! Wow this was really strong but delicious! After the server recommended cinnamon (made the drink look ugly so take a photo for the gram sbforehand hah). It definitely changed the profile to mask the alcohol wowww!!! read more

Came here on a Monday night and it was a pretty easy, relaxed dinner. Parking is super convenient since it's in a large plaza. The interior at Hula Hoops is really beautiful. It's bright, tropical, and full of vibrant menu photos that make everything look super appealing. Service was great! We ordered the spam fries, which were solid and exactly what you'd expect. The bibingka cornbread was PHENOMENAL, easily my highlight of the night. It was warm, buttery, and slightly sweet with that unique bibingka twist. The grilled squid was just okay, and the loco moco with mochiko chicken and kalua pork, especially the pork tasted amazing, but the portion felt a little small. The ube flan for dessert was decent too. Overall, it's a cute spot with fun island-inspired dishes, not everything blew us away, but it was still a nice experience. Would come back again! read more

I highly recommend this place. I believe the owner is Filipino. The drinks are pretty good! The food is very delicious. I really love how the drink menu is very creative. Who would have thought you can add ube in a cocktail? This Hawaiian restaurant and bar is pretty damn good. I have only been here twice. Each time I come here, I live live performers from local Bay Area artists. One of the servers/bartender here, Lana, is the best. She is very friendly, sweet, charming and nice. I'd definitely come back and bring more people next time. read more

If you love Hawaiian food, and enjoy tiki drink/cocktails, then this is the spot for you. With a nice variety of food options, and twist on traditional items, each dish is delicious and oh so satisfying. The drinks are up to par with respected tiki bars and even the beautiful visual appeal of the drinks (the artistic drinks are to the flames and dry ice smoke) are sure to bring smiles to all. Our large group decided to dine during brunch. The staff was very helpful and attentive. The food was prepared surprisingly fast. Each dish looked as amazing as it tasted. My group ordered several cocktails and drinks, although I did not try them, they each looked glorious and were spoken highly of. The order: Babinka Cornbread -A nice twist on a traditional filipino rice cake Sisig tater tots -Tater tots paired perfectly with the salty Sisig. I could eat this combo all day Trio Silog -Three different proteins (sisig, BBQ pork, longganisa) all tasty Everything I tried was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. Definitely a spot I recommend to try... their food, drinks, and atmosphere really do hit the island vibe cravings. read more

We were heading up to San Francisco and wanted to eat before. We walked in for breakfast on a weekend. There was one other table there. We got the Cornbread, Bbq Pork and Kalua Pork Loco.

Service was great! Thank you to Sherry/Sheryl? Sorry if I misheard the name. The food was delicious too. The Boy ordered the poke bowl, which was a nicely sized portion; I'm definitely getting that for myself next time. I got the ahi poke nachos, which are really wonton chips, not tortilla chips, but it was still perfect. The Hawaiian brewed coffee was simple but so good! The aroma itself smelled so good even before I tasted it. Finally, do yourself a favor and get the tater tots too. read more

Second time here and it's better. Maybe because it wasn't too busy. No waiting in line. Place is still cute esp the nipa hut in the corner that can sit 5 people. Server was friendly and got our orders quick. Food was really good or maybe because we chose well. BBQ pork silog was the bomb..too bad the longanisa came with a combo, would have preferred just that. Drinks were on point. The star of the show is the ube pancakes. It was creamy and you can really taste the ube in the pancakes. Too bad the pancakes were small and only came as a 3 stack 4 stars because yes, it was pretty pricey $$$ read more

I always order their pork bbq, sooo good! My kids love the spam fries and musubi. The bibingka cornbread, yum! I like the place, so cozy and I feel like you're dining in Hawaii or somewhere tropical. The staff are nice too. I like a restaurant that acknowledges their guests and consistently follows up for any needs. Bathroom is clean which is a plus for me, too. Of course we will come back! read more

I don't get the hype. I got the silog plate with sisig and longanisa. My mom got an omelet with kalua pork and potatoes. We shared an ube pancake. We both really liked the longanisa with garlic rice and the vinegar dipping sauce. Everything else was just ok. I feel like the sisig wasn't as flavorful as I'm used to having at other places. We didn't like the ube pancake. It seemed like a mochi-like pancake but that wasn't noted on their website and it seemed a bit undercooked. I'll give it another try though if a friend or family member wants to go! read more

Pretty good for brunch! We visited Hula Hoops on a Sunday morning and got seated right away with no reservation. The interior had a tropical, tiki theme and they fully committed to that with decor. The cocktail menu looked impressive and they had a warning section in the menu about how strong their drinks are. My friend and I both opted for Iced Ube Lattes instead. The color of the drink was a beautiful purple, but the flavor was bland. I know ube doesn't have a strong taste on its own, but I've definitely had better drinks with it. For food, we shared the Ube Chicken Waffle and Smoked Salmon Benedict. Both were tasty! I loved that the Smoked Salmon Benedict was served on corn bread instead of an English muffin - first time seeing that! Both the waffle and chicken were delicious and came served with 3 different sauces - gravy, maple syrup, and ube sauce. The maple syrup went best with it, but I appreciated the options. Service was just okay - getting water took a while and payment at the end had its hiccups too. Would be interested to try their dinner menu! read more

This was my 2nd time coming to Hula Hoops and it was just as good as I remembered! My group ordered the Kalua Pork Loco Moco (which is what I ordered the first time) as well as the Sisig Fried Rice and Kamehameha BBQ Chicken, and for my drink, I ordered the Pina Paradise, mostly because it came in a pineapple. My favorite of the three was the Kalua Pork Loco Moco! The Mac salad that comes along with it is some of my favorite Mac salad I've had too. All entrees were delicious though! My drink was also great! Perfect ratio of alcohol to mixer, and such a fun presentation! Service is always amazing! I'd highly recommend making a reservation if you're coming for dinner, especially during the weekend, because it can get very packed. read more

On our way back from SF and we were looking for something good with easy parking. Found Hula Hoops from Yelp and made a reservation. They closed early at 8 and there's almost noone else when we can around 7.30 on Sunday. The seafood pan roast is our favorite and the kids love the pasta! Short ribs with kimchi rice is a bit tasteless(hence - 1 star). read more

We came here to celebrate our mom-to-be and made a reservation for a group of 8. They were able to seat us quickly, which was great. The restaurant has a fun, lively vibe. It is definitely energetic and perfect for a group celebration. Service was a little hit or miss when it came to getting our server's attention, but we still had a good overall experience. We tried a variety of drinks and dishes, and there was a lot to enjoy. The ube chicken and waffles were a standout! The crispy chicken paired really well with the sweet waffle. The short ribs with kimchi rice were flavorful and satisfying, and the nachos with kalua pork were super tasty and great for sharing. And of course, you can never go wrong with lumpia. Overall, we really enjoyed the food and the tiki vibes. It's a fun spot for a group outing or celebration! read more

Second time visiting. This time with a group of friends. One friend arrived very late but they were kind enough to still seat us and get the rest of the group started on food and drinks. Super nice and courtious staff. The food was just as good as the first time my wife and I had dinner there. I decided on getting the spare ribs(essentially a dinosaur rib) which was just as good as the first time. The meat was incredibly tender and nearly fell right off the bone. The staff conistantly checked in on us and our "invisible friend". Drinks were amazing, food was amazing, staff was amazing. At a point in our night, after expressing interest in her "ex boyfriend" shrunken head, one of the owners began to share her tiki mug collection with us and the stories behind them. Afterwards her brother treated us to a very entertaining magic show. Overall a true hidden gem in South San Francisco! To the owner, if the new boyfriend doesn't work out I would like to buy the next shrunken head in your collection! LOL. read more

Made an easy reservation online and was even able to update it the day before to add another person with no issues, which we really appreciated. We had heard such great things about Hula Hoops and were excited to come for Mother's Day brunch. When we arrived Sunday morning, we were seated right away, which was great. However, our party of six was seated with only three food menus and five drink menus. I asked our waitress if we could get additional menus for the rest of the table, and she explained they had run out and were waiting for other guests to finish with theirs. We ended up asking if there was a QR code version we could scan, and she brought one over. I was mostly confused why the QR code wasn't offered immediately, knowing half the table didn't have menus to begin with. It just made the start of the experience feel a little disorganized. That said, there were definitely some positives. The sparkling cider for Mother's Day brunch was a really nice touch, and the Shanghai lumpia was fantastic. I ordered the two-protein silog breakfast with eggs, and while the flavors were good, the single scoop of rice just didn't feel proportionate to the rest of the plate. Any Filipino knows you need a little more rice to balance everything out, so I ended up not finishing my meal because it felt off portion-wise. My son ordered the cheese omelet and said it wasn't his favorite, especially the potatoes. The ube waffles were really yummy though, and my husband enjoyed the sisig tater tots. Overall, I'm glad we finally got to try Hula Hoops after hearing so many good things, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for us, and I don't think we'd return. read more

Hula Hoops - Ube waffles - Hawaiian Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Hula Hoops is definitely a must-visit spot! It's close to where we live, so we decided to go there for breakfast. Honestly, we wanted to try their fried rice, but when we arrived, it was still brunch time, and we realized that some menu items are only available in the specific time. That was fine, because it reminded us of our last day in Kauai a year ago. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, and my husband got the popular Loco Moco. The funny thing is, we both liked our dishes even more than the ones we had in Kauai! Maybe because instead of the very salty beef, my husband chose the crispy, perfectly cooked chicken, and I got very delicious Eggs Benedict ‍ The atmosphere really gives off those island vibes. It feels like a little tropical adventure while still staying in California. I can totally imagine coming back to celebrate something there with friends or just to hang out and have a good time. Their menu has so many great options, and I'm already looking forward to trying more. My husband loved the place too. We were both surprised and really happy with our choice that day. Oh, and I tried one of their cocktails. It looked amazing, all flaming and beautiful, but it was way too strong for the morning Probably better for an evening visit. Still, it was fun to try just for the experience. read more

Located in south city near serramonte in a corner plaza This is actually a fun place to sit and eat at especiall if theres alot of you. Great aloha/pino fusion type atmosphere. Full bar scene.....dining qrea can be a lil small for the place but they also got outdoor seating Their menu caters mire ti brunch/late lunch....tapas plates. Plenty food for the whole family to enjoy, even if you have younger kids with you ....Fun cocktails to choose from Seating may be slightly slow if they get busy. And if so, some menu items get sold out fast. So call and ask ahead of time if you are picky eater. They have a small private room if you are trying to host something and you can alsi rent the whole place out for a price. Overall...i digg this place and if in the area, it actually IS a restaurant we like to make it to if given the opportunity....just for the vibe alone read more
