The staff was super friendly and the food was amazing! Our server was very knowledgeable and asked us questions to confirm that we got EXACTLY what we wanted. The chef is a master! The food was super flavourful and delicious! The Shirley Temple was missing the cherry 😉, but everything else made up for it!

The restaurant is bright and inviting. Everything looks fresh and clean like one would expect a new restaurant to feel. The staff was very friendly and attentive. First time trying the hot (hula) pot experience. I would give it a 7/10 only because I wasn't blown away by the flavors or the food. I'd come back for the Hawaiian BBQ. We did try the Dole whip pineapple dessert at the end of our meal and I'd give that a 10/10. Yum!

The food was great. You have the option of using hot pots to cook your own food or order off a different menu for cooked food. Great options. Service staff was great. We did wait a bit for our food but the staff were apologetic for it. I would recommend to friends.

Not sure if this place just opened but they definitely need to work on their service and speed. I'm giving it a 3 because the food was pretty good, if just based on food I would've said 4. Service was more like a 2. The negative: Very young girl, innatentive, barely checked on us. The water tasted like it was from the lake and I literally almost got sick from it. We waited FOREVER for our crab Rangoon appetizer. The inside was pretty cold and chunky. I felt like it would be good if it was heated. We then waited a very long time time for our food and didn't get checked on the whole time to see if we needed a refill. No apology on it being so long or any update. My husband had the spicy ramen and it was really good. I had the chicken katsu with fried rice. That was also really good. The macaroni salad was also yummy. I just feel like they need some extra help here and some lessons in customer service. Maybe someone supervising the two young children working out front running the place. I personally won't put this on my come back list for a very long time. Seemed that they were giving better service to the take out orders so maybe I'll try that.

I recently visited Hula Pot, and I must say, this experience was leaps and bounds better than when we first tried it after they opened. The spare ribs were absolutely phenomenal—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and honestly one of the best dishes I’ve had in a while. Whatever they’ve done to refine their recipes or techniques since opening is clearly working.

Our server, Galaxy, was the highlight of the night. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and had a great sense of timing when checking on us—not too often, but always there when needed. She was also very informative and respectful, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. Galaxy truly made this visit special, and because of her, I’d recommend this place 100%.

If Hula Pot’s service is always as exceptional as what Galaxy provided, I could easily see myself coming here every week. With food rated a solid 5/5 and service deserving a 10/5, this is a must-visit spot for anyone looking for great food and impeccable hospitality!

Dole whip in Coeur D'Alene? What? Yes, it's true and it's delicious just like the whip at Dole Plantation on Oahu. A most unexpected find. The loco moco and Kahlua pork were good too. Those 3 items + tips were about $50. It's reasonable. The restaurant was clean and spacious as well and turns out they also make hot pot but only if you call ahead.

Great date night or family fun dinner. Food was very yummy. And a dole whip to end the dinner fantastic.

My favorite place! The food and the atmosphere are amazing, Jace was our server, and he was friendly and accommodating. Hot Pot is the bomb, I would definitely recommend it.
