Hula Dog - Hawaii

Today I got to try their Polish Dog with Coconut/Pineapple Lemon Juice and "Wow" they were great, very tasty. It was the best tasting Polish Dog/Hot Dog I have tasted. Also, the owner was very friendly and helpful.

Hula Dog! Best hot dog I’ve ever had! It was seriously sooooo good! The hot dog is nestled in your choice of a Hawaiian sweet bread or taro bread bun. Next, choose between a traditional Polish sausage (so yummy!) or a veggie dog. Then you handpick your desired toppings, ranging from roasted garlic lemon sauce to tropical relishes (mango, papaya, coconut, pineapple) and mustards like the tangy lilikoi (passion fruit) mustard which was just wow. If you’re ever in Hawaii, go and look for the Hula Dog food truck. The flavours of the hot dog, the delicious soft bread and all the flavour bombs of the sauces just work so well together. I can’t wait to go back. Oh, the lemonade was very refreshing too!

Wow. This is not just a hot dog stand. I was was skeptical because hot dogs are not usually something I go for but this hands down is the best and will be on our itinerary every time we come back to Hawaii. The cashier was friendly, the bread as tasty as any Hawaiian roll. The toppings really make the dog though. Flavorful and surprising. You don’t expect the flavors to go well together but they do!

I read about these hot dogs years ago and it was a must taste for our trip to Honolulu. Bread was fresh and delicious. I got the medium garlic lemon sauce with Hawaiian mustard and pineapple relish. All beef dog was juicy and perfectly complemented by the sauces and mustard. Being able to eat a hot dog with lots of sauces without getting all over me was a special treat. I saw that Anthony Boudain (RIP) had visited their stand in the past and was impressed as well. Toasting a whole loaf(similar to an unsliced hoagie roll) on a spike made for a unique experience. I’m only sorry I didn’t get a photo before I took a bite. Sooo worth the wait!

Visited for lunch mid week in Jan. Highly unglamorous location. Friendly, warm, accommodating service from manager. Incredibly tasty hot dogs. Prices excellent.
