Hulas Chinese Bar-B-Q in Chico

I am gluten-free (not celiac) and was absolutely blown away by their team! When we first came in, we asked if they had gluten-free options. The hostess told us she would have the manager come to answer our questions as she wanted to make sure we had the most accurate information. The manager Logan came over to us a few minutes later. He was able to tell us what options were safe and was so very kind and accommodating. But he didnt stop there... at every step along the way of filling out bowls he kept checking in and making sure I didnt have any questions and he personally walked me through the sauces so I knew what I could add without issue. The most amazing part of the experience was when we got to the grills, the team was ready for us. The manager had given them advance notice we were in the line, and they proceeded to fresh clean the grills, the tongs, and their hands to make sure the grill had a reduction in gluten on it. The meal itself was tasty, and having a variety of fresh veggies and meat options in a very well managed and clean restaurant made the experience top notch. The wait staff were attentive, bringing fresh rice and lots of drink refills as needed. And I observed a team that was very engaged with the customers and worked hard to keep everything clean and organized. The fact that you have an option to do all you can eat or just one bowl for a reasonable price is also great. For someone who struggles to find delicious gluten-free options, this place was amazing, but the experience is what I cant get enough of. I recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great radiant experience and if you have dietary needs they are the place to go!

This is an all you can eat hibachi style restaurant. You pick meat, noodles, vegetables and sauces to put in a bowl. Proceed to the cooking area. You are allowed to take leftovers home for your first trip only. While you are waiting for your food to cook, egg rolls and won tons magically appear at your table. All of the employees are very friendly and helpful.

Chinese Bar-BQ? Perhaps in some mysterious way. Mongolian, yes. Saw the place quite by accident as I was leaving Target last night, very busy so today after reading reviews, went for it. Place definitely commands a crowd, and all staff move fast and efficiently.As for the food this is my take: having visited several establishments in the past with the same concept, some good, while others not very much so, I rapidly started the line, which now I understand why several patrons stuffed their bowls to great amounts, and certified skills, mounds way above the capacity of the size of the generous bowls. Plus an additional reduced size bowl apparently for the sauces at the end of the line just to pour the almost full with combination of sauces onto the impressive bigger bowl, which is received by the very adept cooks to cook the raw ingredients. Monkey see, monkey do, I tried to fill mine to the same proportions as to the lady ahead of me to disastrous results. Why when is an all you can eat? Simply because a person could eat half and take the rest home without breaking the house rules. Still is better to do the same gigantic bowl and take it to go for a lesser price minus full price and gratuity. Which I did not regret at the capable and friendly service provided by Abby? Truly an asset to the locale.Food: Protein frozen thin mostly, pork-beef-chicken all tasted the same, perhaps the chicken slightly different, so it is kind a let down. Tried a little spicy sausage and kielbasa sausage but low grade, not an inedible memory by a long shot. Zero seafood, possibly not business savvy. Meats at most 2.5 Stars. Vegetables, now that caught my attention fast with a long list, mostly fresh 95%, and probably a great option for veggie lovers. Wish I was a vegetarian but sadly no dice. 4 Stars!Abby brought to the table some kind of chicken noodle soup, not spectacular but edible. 3 Stars. Also won ton skins and 3 egg rolls, way past their normal cook, but easy to eat. Additionally hot tea, all these part of the price of admission, 3 Stars. The sauces were typical for this kind of fare, not one better than the other. Some contend that soaking all food with sauce is best, like their food dark from the surface of the grill, not the recently cleaned. 3 Stars. Service 4 Stars! Total for 2= almost $50 plus a nice gratuity for the very nice Abby.Needless to say, once will do it. They sure have the crowd.

It was good. But the I dont feel that the good matched the price. I have no problem paying for good food. But 2 adults and one child, $80??? That was for 1 bowl each and 2 drinks. Had to get up 3X to get water, etc. One guy totally ignored me. Not the cleanest cooking area. I dont know. Wasnt that impressed.

Im from Vegas. So I am very spoiled to great restaurants. So for Chico, being a small town, I absolutely appreciated the locals favorite. Thanks to our friend for showing us around!

Im italian and I went to America with my school for 3 weeks and was an amazing experience.I really liked this place, I usually dont eat this type of food, but this one was AMAZING. For everyone one who wants try something different this is the right place. And for the future Italians who will come here, just enjoy your moment in America, is a beautiful experience.

I took my husband for his birthday the food was fantastic we had 17 people with us and we were able to reserve a table for all of us they were great about keeping the drinks filled and kept checking on us. The cooks did a great job gave them a huge tip always remember to tip big they work hard. Highly recommend going to Hulas all ages can enjoy. They even brought my husband a sunday on the house and we sang happy birthday. Great time.

You need to go here, but NOT if your just not that hungry.The food is awesome, and the staff are really nice, happy to help, and pleasant to be around. They are regularly swooping in and seeing how youre doing and if there is anything you need.Great place, great food, great value.

The prices are ridiculous. $22.95 is outrageous for a bowl of Chinese barbecue. Had I seen the sign before sitting down I would have encouraged our group to go elsewhere. This is price gouging. I’m amazed that people patronize it. I’m not going back.

It was a full house. Fabulous food. It got very expensive but worth every dollar. Im so happy they bought it and reopened its so nice!! Now I gotta buy a T-shirt
