The Hawaiian plate lunch began sometime
between 200-500 A.D including items like taro, ulu
(breadfruit), puaa (pig) and moa (chickens). Over the years
the plate lunch has evolved. Enjoy the Hula Grill Waikiki Hawaiian
Luau plate, featuring a sampling of many local favorites, available every Friday ‘til 3pm.
