Hu Ke Lau

Permanently closed as of April 2018

The Hu Ke Lau is closing after April 6 to under go renovations but it seems it will be losing its tiki theme and the Hawaiian Show...

Family of ours were just telling us about this joint a few days prior and we happened to stop to get gas at a random exit and lo and behold there stood the Hu Ke Lau. The building could definitely be more significantly designed from the outside, as it stands it could be anything from a bowling alley to a family rec center, but it definitely stands out as something different. Inside is pretty well decorated, lots of bamboo, multiple fish tanks, tiki-esque decor everywhere. The bar didn't seem like anything special, playing classic rock and showing ESPN, but the dining area was solid with little distraction of the outside world and traditional Hawaiian music playing. I would've preferred it be a little darker but we were there for lunch so maybe they turn it down at night. Food was standard Americanized Chinese food but it was pretty good, well priced, and the portions were good sized. The drinks were mostly mix based and didn't really pack any punch but they weren't bad. Service was great and I would be happy to visit again. My biggest disappointment was that there were none of the amazing branded mugs. They had a coconut that had a screen printed logo but that was it. Overall, it was a great time and we are looking into visiting again and checking out the shows they put on!
