BarFly's Review of Da Hui
Kid friendly on the restaurant side, ample bar boozing on the other, and serving up Hawaiian styled food until 2:30am. Tiki fans who stumble in expecting the cliche Polynesian trappings may want to repeat the following to themselves "This is not a tiki bar, nor is it trying to be. I should lighten up."

Okay, the best part of the place to the FoPo people is prob the Happy Hour. Okay it's 12-1pm, 6-7pm (maybe 5-6pm idk--I'm never there at that time)and the 12-1am $1 well shots & $1 pulled pork sliders. Either way, Ellen is there on the weekends (Thurs too) and she's fab! But don't give her crap....she will yell at you and F u up as necessary. Whether it's telling you to stop drinking, trying to steal beer out of the ol' tub or to not smoke meth in the bathroom. I've seen it all! She's a badass! Don't F with her! But she does pour good drinks & the music on her shift is usually pretty good too! Come check it out for yourself, see what I'm talkin' about!
This was not our first visit to this Hawaiian bar and restaurant. In fact, we'd brought family and friends to it in the past. It has been several months since our last visit. The once family friendly half is now serving tea and coffee and seems to not be related to the Hawaiian lounge. We sat at one of the window booths and overheard foul language coming from the other patrons. While looking over the new menu, we noted many of our old favorites were missing and now they only offer a handful of options. We waited 5 minutes while we were ignored. We got up and walked out. This is not a family friendly place, the menu is very limited and we will not ever be back.
Very nice space in the middle of the Foster Rd. area. A great menu of specialized drinks and attentive staff. DJs on the occasion, food is decent, crowd interesting and the window view is a bonus for added amusement.
Love the prices and the food ain't bad either. Will go back often. Don't expect a Noho's as this is a completely different hawaiian menu.
My girlfriend and I were craving Hawaiian and figured we might go to Noho's, but had to stop at a place across the street from Da Hiu, so we just went there instead. The yakisoba was incredibly salty, as was my girlfriend's lunch...Noho's is far far superior to this place.
Been to this place twice now, and I gotta say...The food is seriously bomb.The ribs I had last weekend were coming off the bone,and had some serious flavor.Complete w/ veggies, Yakisoba noodles,and steamed rice.Kill.Also two good bartenders,Tina formerly of Reno's, and Smiley formerly the "bouncer" at Slowbar.Both do the job well, or should I say..stiff.Not a bad spot on the ever growing new "beermuda" triangle.
