Came in during late lunch got seated in a booth. Ordered a Somen salad (perfect for summer) which was refreshing. The chicken katsu was yummy, looking forward to coming back. Our server Galexi was well knowledgeable and super sweet. Restaurant was clean, well kept. Compared to other places I've been in the area. read more

Good food: a fun dining experience with fresh interesting food and good service. The tables have individual built in hot plates for the hot pot broth bowls, but you can choose from poke bowls and several other prepared dishes if you prefer. The ambiance is casual and could be improved, but two of us shared an order of pot stickers with one hot pot plus a serving of udon noodles for a very satisfying and healthy meal. read more

On our way to Canada and decided to spend a few days in Coeur d'Alene and this was our first meal. First and foremost the staff was absolutely amazing. The food was good but not great. We both got the chicken katsu, she got hers with the curry and mine was regular. We liked the food enough but it's not something we would crave again. Full rating 3.5 read more

The food was great, the service was great. The place in general was great! Would definitely go there again.

Food is really good our server Jordin was amazing super sweet and made us feel right at home. Thanks Jordin we hope to see you again.

Tried Hula Pot this week - it was pretty good! We didn't order from the hot pot side of the menu, but they have a wide array of offerings for their hot pot items which we will definitely try next time (I've had hot pot before, so I know their offerings are good!). I forgot to take photos of some items because we were so hungry, but we had an order of Spam Musubi for our appetizer, I got the loco moco without the Mac salad (I'm not keen on mayo) and my partner got the Kathi short ribs (which did come with Mac salad). I got a jasmine green tea to drink. The service was fast, our waiter was very kind, and the atmosphere was great - I loved the relaxing mint green color palette, the Bob Ross channel on the tv behind us, and the food was very well priced for large portions. I imagine the hot pot portions are also robust. Would totally recommend! read more

We were in Coeur d'Alene for the night and decided to give Hula Pot a try. We warmly greatly by Jordin, a perky young waitress! My wife had the teriyaki chicken, while I had the kalbi ribs. Both dishes were delicious. I was disappointed that there were only 2 smaller kalbi ribs! Most places give 3 in an order. The macaroni salad was tastier than most I've experienced (and I've tried many). They do NOT offer a green salad as a substitute, which was very disappointing! We were recently at a very good hot pot in LA, so we opted for something else. Jordin made the dinner a fun time. She was conversational without being intrusive. She's an asset and a keeper! read more

I didn't particularly like the loco moco. It was quite bland. We ordered in, therefore, I don't know what the service is like. We did however get everything we ordered. Which is a lot more than I can say about many restaurants in the area. read more

This is great! It's like Shani Shani for the hot pots and the meat selection is awesome! Ribeye sliced super thin and melt in your mouth beef tongue. This is our new favorite place in CDA! read more

Nice place in CDA for hot pot or takeout! My family and I stopped in for a pick up order of Chicken Katsu, Kalua Pork, and a side of white rice with a fried egg. When I walked in, I noticed the restaurant is very well kept and the booths are so cute. The staff greeted us warmly, promptly took our order, and our food was ready in no time. While I liked my Kalua Pork dish, I did add some Chicken Katsu sauce to the pork for more flavor. The Mac salad was good, but it had too much pepper for my liking. All in all, I'd go again! It would be fun to dine-in for hot pot next time. read more

Went kinda on a whim, shared the crab Rangoon's and the pit stickers, they were both very good. I was surprised by the amount of flavor. Our server was amazing and very helpful. Will definitely have to go back for a family style meal. read more

This is a wonderful place to come anytime of the year. Especially if you are craving some local food. We ordered the kalbi, katsu, and a few appetizers (wings are so yummy!). The people are super nice and took good care of us. Checking in and spreading the aloha spirit. We will be back! read more

A nice simple menu with easy to understand hotpot. Fun place for families and larger groups of people. Recommend trying hotpot here if you've never had it before read more

The food, the chicken and short ribs were dry and flavorless. The service was great. Our friend had fun grilling the lamb in the miso broth but over all, I would not return because the food did not stand out. read more

This place was sooo good! I did the hot pot menu. And they give you A lot of food! The breath and the taste was there. Specially on a cold night this definitely hit the spot. The lady that was working was taking care of the whole restaurant. I didn't see anyone helping her and she did a great job and helping us when she could. She had great costumer service. The place is big enough has lots of tables and hot pot tables. Clean place also read more

As my husband and I walk in we were greeted by our awesome server, Jordan. She knew the menu and even knew what we were asking for when we said portagee sausage and POG. She checked in with us multiple times to make sure we didn't have any questions or need anything else. She had a bright smile and was the perfect representative showing aloha spirit in everything she did. We first ordered the manapua and let me tell you it was made just like the ones from back home! I ordered the kahlua pig which was perfectly seasoned and tender. No need for knife! My meal came with a side of white rice, perfectly sticky properly cooked, and mac salad which could have gone toe to toe with my cousins back home. Bring your appetite because these guys don't play around! Neither me nor my husband could finish. I would say worth the price but honestly it was very inexpensive considering how well made everything was and how it reminded me of home and family. I would definitely have paid more just to get that feeling again while eating their food. My husband got the teriyaki chicken and it was exactly the same as my uncles back home. I could have cried but we were in public! Full of flavor and I just want to say that this is not your smothered teriyaki chicken...it's Hawaiian style and marinated all the way through, as it should be! My husband also got fried rice, which was also well seasoned and a good portion of mac salad. To compliment our meal I had a Hawaiian Sun POG (passion fruit, orange, and guava) and hubby had lilikoi (passion fruit). Everything was perfect! I can't wait to try their laulau and lomi salmon if they get some in! Homemade. Hawaiian. Broke da mouth! Mahalo read more

This is my 3rd take out order from Hula Pot and each one was fabulous: delicious food, prepared well and as described on the menu, reflective of what my non-Hawaiian palate imagines great Hawaiian casual cuisine is. Super friendly staff great you warmly, ensure they've got your order right, and bring it to you with a smile. Dining space gives a pleasant, open, clean fast casual vibe and the tables are clearly set up for their namesake Hula Pot, which I plan to try in the near future. For now I recommend the Mixed Fried Rice, Spicy Ramen, and Macaroni Salad: delicious! read more

Loved this hot pot place. My go to in the area. Just glad to have a place here in Coeur D'Alene. I come from the Seattle area, and I can't really compare the two. This is more of a Hawaiian American hot pot place, but it hits the spot. Best waitress is Jordan. She is genuinely sweet and has great customer service. read more

We ordered from the hot pot menu and while the concept of cooking your own food is fun, there was nothing too special about it. I suppose I was turned off by the gal who brought all of our food to us who has inch long fingernails... read more

We stopped in for a hotpot lunch after eagle watching on Lake CDA. Even though the hot pots are designed for individuals, my husband and I decided to share a lamb hotpot and added on an extra order of pork belly, which made it so that there was plenty for both of us. We loved that there were several broths on the menu to choose from, and a small but sufficient sauce bar for you to customize your own dipping sauce. The server was awesome. She was very good at instructing us on the operation of the hot pot controls, and was easy to flag down when we needed anything. The restaurant itself was quite clean and well kept. We would definitely recommend this for anyone in the mood for hotpot in CDA. read more

FLAVORS JUST LIKE HOME!! Staff is welcoming and attentive. Can't wait to go back..EVERYTHING about the place is like HME!

Our group of seven was celebrating a birthday and had driven in an hour from out of town specifically to celebrate at this restaurant per the request of the two honored guests. I made a reservation more than 24 hours in advance for our party of seven and, within an hour, received an email from Hula Pot confirming the reservation for our party. We arrived at our reserved time and was told by the hostess/server that our party of seven would be split between two tables near each other because their only two large tables were reserved for other parties (one of those tables sat unoccupied for just over half of our time there and the other table was unoccupied from the time we walked in to the time we paid the bill and left). The server was apologetic, but could not make any accommodations allowing us to be seated together because of the style of tables (hot pot built in) and the lack of large party seating in the restaurant.  Had we have been contacted (they had my phone number and my email) prior to the one hour drive to get there, and informed of the inability to seat us all together, we would have made arrangements to celebrate elsewhere. The whole purpose of making the reservation ahead of time was to ensure that we would be able to sit and celebrate together as a party of seven. Unfortunately, due to Hula Pot's failure to properly manage reservations, their failure to provide reasonable customer service (by informing us ahead of time of seating issues) and their lack of accommodations for parties greater than four people the birthday "celebration" was uncomfortable and awkward for our group. We were unable to converse with each other from several feet away; the birthday guests were not able to spend time with some of the other guests, and there was a noticeable awkwardness between staff and our group the entire time we were there. And other than the verbal apology from our server, the only other gesture for the inconvenience was one free dole whip.  The food was good, the restaurant was clean, and the seating for parties of four or less was plentiful. Sadly, Hula Pot's lack of communication, mismanagement of reservations and disappointing apology made for a very poor and unfortunate experience for our group. The way guests are treated and the way businesses resolve issues is just as important as how good the food they serve is. Not sure that we'll ever go back. read more

This place looks really new. Even smells new. I had the kahlua pork and it was so tender and smokey goodness. Our server was amazing. Even ran after us after we left a phone on the table. We had a bowl of their dole whip that was just as yummy as on Oahu! read more

The food was exactly like how they'd make it back in Hawaii. I had the chicken katsu plate with mac salad and it brought back nostalgic feelings of home. What put me over the top was the Li Hing Mui powder on the Dole Whip. If you are from Hawaii, you know what that powder is. The music was on non stop and all the songs were what we'd hear on the radio stations back home. Our waitress was super nice and helpful in taking our order and keeping us up to date on the status of our food she was very pleasant to talk to. If you miss the food from Hawaii and are in Eastern Washington or Northern Idaho, stop by and grab a bite. read more

This is almost like a Korean BBQ joint, if the BBQ was a bowl of soup. You can get whatever protein you want, plus veggies and rice, and they have sauce station so you can make your own dipping sauce if you want. They also have entrees, and that's what I went for. I got the chicken katsu, and the wife got the breakfast special with Portuguese sausage. They have all the stuff I remember as a kid when dad was stationed in Hawaii. The staff is polite and friendly, the place is clean, and the food came out hot. We loved it, and we'll be back. Oh, the dipping sauce for the chicken katsu was so good that my wife stole it for her breakfast. read more

My family and I went to Hula Pot on July 6 after a very busy weekend. The food is absolutely delicious. If you enjoy Dole Whip soft serve, It makes for a complete experience. Jack was our server and met our every request with a very pleasant attitude and smile. We will definitely be back. read more

Most delicious experience. We always have the spicy broth hot pot with udon noodles. The perfect amount of spice. Only place that I know of that sells The spam musubi. The cooked short ribs have the perfect char taste. If you ever been to Disney world or land and had their dole pineapple soft serve you will enjoy hula pots pineapple whip ice cream. And the staff instruction if you have not been here before really makes it such an inviting and makes you want to come back . read more

Love this place! Our third time here and it never disappoints. Our kids love the Hawaiian food

It was a busy Saturday, but they found a spot for us an hour and a half later. Easy to kill time in the area. Our first visit, so we did the hot pot and every aspect was fun and delicious. Next time we would get one less "kit" and add another protein. Inside is clean and has its own vibe. We will be back this summer. read more

This place is light and bright. Very beach colors. Quite welcoming. The staff was very nice and very attentive. We had the chicken katsu. We really liked it. It was served with macaroni salad and rice. The portions were generous. We had plenty to bring home for dinner tonight. The owner, Vince, came to our table and chatted with us for a minute. I loved that personal touch. I can't wait to go back again! read more

This place was great. Wasn't busy for a Wednesday evening. The seating is tight if you are tall but they have chair options to better assist. The establishment was clean and nicely decorated. They had a TV for you to watch. The server was great and friendly. We ordered potstickers for appetizer which were good. We didn't try the pot option but all had the Katsu, Short Ribs (very fatty but very flavorful meat), Kulua pork, bbq chicken. All tasted amazing and perfect flavor. I only chose the fried rice and was delicious. You automatically get white rice with the macaroni. The macaroni was really good too. Overall loved the place and will be coming back! read more

A really cute spot serving a mixture of Japanese and Hawain food. The spot was super cute and we didn't even need a reservation when we showed up at 5:30. The service was a little slower, but the server preferences the table saying they had a rush. The appetizers came out at very different times and one came right before our food was served. A great positive was that the food all had great flavor, and I loved the food options. The food didn't come out hot, more warm, which was slightly bumming, but as mentioned, the flavor made up for it. Our server was kind and offered good options while we were ordering. We were all glad to experience this cute spot! read more

Maybe I'm just old but this was a big ZERO in our opinion. Maybe the experience is the hype. We were looking for ramen in CDA and this place came up. It said it had "ramen style" noodles so we decided to give it a try. You cook your own food in little hot pots - plate of raw meat, bowl of vegetables and a very salty pot of broth which is just salt and water by my standards. Then you have a little remote under the table you bring up and regulate the cooking. Not tasty and laborious. Our friend got one of the Hawaiian dishes. That wasn't impressive either. $25 to cook your own dinner - sorry - not worth it! read more

If you're in CDA you have to go to Hula Pot. The service is great and the food is fantastic. The quality of ingredients for the hula pot is exceptional and the base of broths are so good you could just eat that!! We had a great Chardonnay with our meal and honestly can't wait to go back. It will also be fabulous to eat the wonderful hot pots in the Winter months. Try it, you won't be disappointed. read more

This is our second review and it's 5 stars. Place is immaculate and comfortable. We had a great meal at your restaurant. We ordered Kalbi, poke, kalua pig and a hot pot. Waitress was helpful and adorable. Well done. We felt welcome. My entire family is from Hawaii and it was great getting a taste of local favorites. Mahalo Nui Loa! read more

We went there about 3:30 ish and we were hungry! I didn't realize that they had 2 options, cook at your table or menu items that their kitchen cooked. We decided to go with kitchen items. I had the Loco Moco, my all-time favorite Hawaiian dish. It did not disappoint, it was delicious and my husband had the kalua pork which he liked. Mac salad was also very good! We also got the chance to learn about the other method of cooking at your table and will definitely be back to try it! read more

Give it a 4.5 star rating the destruction is for the floor. Food is delicious good service but the floor is sticky.

New to this place. Loco Moco was good. I had the short ribs. Sauce was delicious. Only reason for 4 stars is because one of my ribs was all fat so instead of 3, I really only got 2. Get the fried rice. Yummy and the kalua pork was a win. The waitress was great. Place clean. I will come back. read more

Updating my review from a few months ago because we actually got to sit down and eat this time. We went on Friday night and ordered off the restaurant week menu. The positives: The appetizer were so good, spam musubi, bean soup and gyoza MMMmmmmm. The waiter was very nice and the restaurant was clean. The main dishes for the most part were good and the juice floats were tasty, nice that they had different flavor options. The negatives unfortunately for us outweighed the positives and it seems to me to be all about management. They were severely understaffed (I think the same problem that got us turned away on our first visit) and just kept seating people as they walked in. We had to wait 45 minutes for the appetizers and another 30 minutes for our main courses and they were still seating people left and right. There was a center station with sauces that were ALL empty when we went to look for a sides for hot pot and took a long time to refill, I watched as SEVERAL people went back to their tables empty handed. I was disappointed there wasn't a goma or sesame sauce for meat but we know that's not on point with the theme of the restaurant; however I love hoisin sauce and when I asked a passing waiter about it she looked exhausted and said she had to check on her table and someone would put it out. 20 minutes later (don't worry, our food was still an hour out) it still wasn't out there, our waiter brought it out within 2 minutes of me asking him though. On the printed menu for restaurant week that's been out for a week our meals specified noodles, one of my favorite accompaniments for hot pot and when I inquired I was told it was a misprint. Why not black it out? Or put a piece of black tape over it? And from a customer service standpoint when a person asks specifically about it I would just provide the noodles...... Overall our waiter was nice, the food was a little bit hit and miss (I'd go in for the appetizers) but until they can figure out the management I'm not sure I would return. They've been open for a year or two and that feels long enough to iron out some of these kinks. The staff all seemed tired or maybe frustrated, no one was mean by any account I just got the feeling they were all doing the best with what they had to work with. read more
