    Was laying out by the pool and wanted a fresh cool snack. This place is located right next to the tapa pool and tower. It's a small place on the corner. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered the original aloha and it was perfect. Fresh fruit. Lots of flavor. Just enough sweet with the honey added. Yummmmm. Highly recommend grabbing a bowl!

    Great option located at the Hilton for quick and fresh Açaí bowls, Poke, or hot/iced tea. You order at the window and keep in mind there are no tables near to sit. We ended up taking our Açaí bowls and smoothie to the pool to enjoy.

    Stopped by Aloha Bowls and Tea for a quick acai bowl. It was good, not bad, not amazing. Nothing really stood out about it, and the bowl wasn't quite as flavorful or fresh as the ones I'm used to back home. Overall, it did the job. If you're nearby and want something light, it's a decent option, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.

    The checkout process was smooth and easy. We ordered the Honeydew Milk Tea with tapioca pearls (boba) and the Matcha Milk Tea with boba -- and honestly, they were the best we've had on the island so far! We're from the Kapolei side, and the boba here tasted like soft mochi balls, which was amazing. The tea wasn't watery like some of the spots back home, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The wait time was reasonable, prices were fair, and the service was great. We'll definitely be coming back on our next staycation!

    Quick stop to get a refreshing treat after the beach. Personally, I would have liked more fruit and less acai but it was overall a good bowl. The acai was also a little too frozen for my liking but that might be nice on a particularly hot day. It's located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is a beautiful area to walk around and shop. Lots of scenic spots nearby to enjoy your bowl and/or drink.

    My husband and I are staying at Hilton Hawaiian village and I wanted a little snack to enjoy at the beach on the resort. It's tucked away, close to the Starbucks. Service was really quick and the prices are fair enough for having the convenience for having it on premises. The regular size was plenty for me. The fruit was fresh and the granola stayed crunchy and sweet. Wouldn't mind getting it again.

    Average bowls it would be good to customize a bit more and add some coconut and condensed milk for a little more flavor.

    This place was pretty good for a morning bite. I would have loved to enjoy peanut butter in one of their bowls, but that is just personal preference, the Acai was super frozen (almost a bit more than I would have liked), the service was quick and I don't think there is a bad place to enjoy the scenery and eat in Hawaii. This is a quick service window and you can easily grab your food and walk about 100 feet to the beach or 50 feet to the pool across the way. Overall good, I would go back if I'm in the market for a quick and easy light breakfast.

    Great spot to just pick up (no seating) and take to the beach - 2 minute walk Ate there twice and it was fast, and fresh quality both times

    Aloha bowl!

    Delicious bowls & smoothie, fast, and pleasant service! Wide variety to choose from and I feel the prices are very reasonable for a resort. Nothing different than what I would pay back home. What a great healthy option!! I love what I got, the " aloha bowl"!

    This review is from when I visited here during my trip to Hawaii in February 2024. I was walking around Waikiki and shopping at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, I wanted to drink boba tea and stopped by this shop. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because the store wasn't that fancy, but I was surprised to find that the Boba milk tea was delicious. What I found delicious was that the overall balance was excellent, the tea was strong (that's what I like), and had a good balance of sweetness and bitterness, the hardness of the boba. The service was quick. When I have a chance, I would like to try fruit bowls next time.

    This place was delicious! Stopped here for breakfast and so glad we did! The poke was fresh and had a decent about of fish. The tea was light and refreshing! If you're not sure - go! So ono!

    Right in the middle of the hotel next to the Hawaiian Village, this place is on the way out to the beach. So it's easy to get trapped, stop, for a quick drink or acai bowl...lol. Like everything in Hawaii, it's a bit more expensive, but it's really good. Everything is fresh...BUT I think they use puree instead of fresh fruit for some things. It makes the suagr content a bit higher, but all things considered if you;'re eating or drinking this stuff sugar is probably not a real big concern of yours. Service is relatively quick, they take your order and payment and you can stand there and wait. You can even sit by the pool right next to them if there are chairs available. Being set in the hotel, its not glamorous or wow, but it's really convenient. I ended up trying the limondae and original aloha acai bowl. Both were very good. The acai bowl had strawberries, blueberries, banana, and honey, on top of granola and acai. It was actually really good. The limonade was not too sweet and had actual fruit in it on the bottom so you could let it sit for a while and not worry about it being too watered down flavorwise. The girls hit this place up a couple of times during our stay, I can definitely recommend trying this place at least once. I'll need to come by and try there poke bowls next time we vacation out here.

    We came here to try some more traditional Hawaiian food. Particular favorites was the squid luau…read morewhich was sweet and a little salty with a unique flavor coming from the taro leaves. If you're not a fan of seafood, don't let the squid deter you as it is a minimal part of the dish and added more of a crunchy textural component rather than actual flavor. This was my wife and my favorite dish. The luau pork was also very good though I liked the version we had at Toa Luau better. We also liked the haupia which was a very refreshing coconut pudding though for some reason our boys didn't like it. We also tried pipikaula which are thinly sliced dry-aged beef short ribs marinated in soy sauce and something else that made it sweet. If you know Korean barbeque, you'll instantly get the sensation that these are close cousins to galbi, though the pipikaula are much less sweet in comparison. The dry aging process also makes them a bit more dryer than galbi. On to more difficult stuff. I was enthusiastic about the fried butterfish collar but once I got a waft of the dish, I knew I was in trouble. I'm very sensitive when it comes to fish so the smell (more than the taste) was off putting. My wife was fine with it and enjoyed the dish, but if you aren't a fan of fishy fish, then I would skip it. The lomi salmon looked very much like pico de gallo with the addition of salt-cured salmon. My boys loved this dish because they love salmon but again I would steer clear if you are a seafood weakling like me. Alas, we come to poi. Had my hopes up since I love taro but the texture and a bit of sourness from fermentation deterred me from trying too much of it. I'm glad we tried it but not sure that we would get it again.

Parking is a limited... you can do street or paid (small) parking lot. We took the local bus, worked great - just figure out which stop you need because it is in between two .. not directly up front. This is my #1 and first place I go to after landing and sometimes again before I go home. Would I go back? Always!!!!!

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers!

Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either.
