Famous dishes like poke and huli chicken are usually the show-stoppers in Hawaii. However, there is one treat that I cannot get off my mind: the Hula Dog. Even a year after visiting Hawaii, I still dream about having another.

The Delicious Hula Dog

Hula Dogs is a family-owned restaurant that started in 2000. At first, it was a little hotdog stand that wanted to provide a fresh take on the American hotdog. They did this by combining natural local ingredients and Hawaiian taste. So, what is this mouthwatering treat?

A Hula Dog is a unique Hawaiian take on the hot dog. It’s nestled in a bun-sized loaf of bread pierced with a ‘Puka’ from one end. You can customize your own Puka experience by selecting your preferred Hula Dog® Bread, which includes options like Brioche, Hawaiian, or Taro.

Next, choose between a traditional Polish sausage or a veggie dog as your protein base. The excitement builds as you handpick your desired toppings, ranging from roasted garlic lemon sauce to tropical relishes, mustards, and traditional sauce.

Delicious is an understatement when it comes to eating a Hula Dog!

Anthony Bourdain Ate Here

Anthony Bourdain catapulted this local delight into the spotlight during his visit to Hula Dog in season four of No Reservations; his approval speaks volumes about its deliciousness.

When Is Hula Dogs Open?

You can visit them from Monday through Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. They are closed on Tuesday.

Where Is Hula Dog?

You can eat here by taking a thirty-minute walk from Waikiki Beach.

There is so much to do in Honolulu! I suggest visiting The Byodo-In Temple in Hawaii’s Ko’olau Mountains.

Then you can try Hawaii’s Famous Malasadas at Leonard’s Bakery.

If you want to cool off, stop by Waikiki’s Tropical Cocktail Bar: Koa Oasis Booze Shack!
