    We walked by and immediately knew we wanted to try one of their drinks! We went with the Matcha Milk (Premium Japanese Matcha from Maedaen) and it was 10/10! Smooth and delicious with the boba. Service was quick! Grab and go, so you can shop.

    The booth is located in the center of Kahala mall

    I've been here several times since it opened a couple of years ago and I stop whenever I go to Kahala mall. I had never heard of their speciality Kuromitsu Kinako milk and wasn't sure what to expect but it's SO GOOD. It's a black sugar syrup (Kuromitsu) and roasted soybean flour (Kinako) It has a nutty sweet flavor and it blends together wonderfully. It's a nice alternative to coffee or matcha. I've also had the li hing drinks here in the past and it's also really good and tangy. My daughter got the strawberry yogurt drink with boba and it had fresh strawberries and a nice tangy taste. She loved it. This booth is located in the central area of Kahala mall. The drinks are always ready fast and the baristas are sweet and explain any questions you have and can make recommendations for you as well. There are several tables throughout the mall, but may be difficult to find one during busy days.

    Strawberry soda with milk and boba and yuzu soda (I forget if it had ginger or not)

    Chaya just celebrated their 5th anniversary this weekend. We've been coming here for years and have never had a negative experience. This shop is located in a small kiosk in Kahala Mall, right by Carousel Candyland and across the stairs going to the creepy bathroom (IYKYK). Service is good, no issues. Drinks come out pretty quickly too. I usually get the strawberry soda with a splash of milk and boba and it is my favorite. So refreshing, not artificial strawberry flavor, actual chunks, and the boba is the right texture and not too syrupy sweet which is important! My other half usually gets one of the teas or the yuzu soda. The plain teas (Jasmine, etc) don't come sweetened so keep that in mind as he didn't realize that until we left the mall haha. Prices are pretty standard and at least it's consistent and ingredients seem to be of better quality than just prepackaged syrups. We'll keep coming back.

    The strawberry matcha was my favorite! All drinks come with boba that is warm and soft.

    Five beverages, all came out very quickly! I had the peach iced tea, and it was a bit sweet for my liking, however, I stole all of someone in my group's strawberry milk Boba with 25% sweetness and drank almost all of it! This is located inside of Kahala Mall just outside of Sephora in a center kiosk. Yum!

    Li Hing Strawberry Pineapple with boba

    A small little stand in the middle of Kāhala Mall selling boba drinks! I have been here a couple of times and I can say I really enjoy their drinks. I usually get a refreshing drink (one without milk). The first time I came here I got the Yuzu Soda which was really nice. You could really taste the yuzu well and usually at other places it is hard to taste. This time around I got the Li Hing Strawberry Pineapple drink with boba. The boba had a nice chew and was perfectly sweet. The drink was made with real strawberries and I saw the barista add Li Hing powder to the pineapple juice. It was a great drink! Next time I will try their matcha :)

    Although Chaya is one of the kiosks at Kahala Mall and not a storefront, I was pleasantly surprised how good the drinks were. I had a taste of every drink and it tasted like quality ingredients. My favorite was the hojicha latte (you can not sub milk) and the kinako latte.

    Small stall in the middle of the mall. Great matcha but not completely mixed well, so there's some clumps at the bottom. The owner (?) was super nice and patient as I asked my questions.

    Yummy drinks!! The flavors are natural and there are so many fun options. This location is in the Kahala mall, so convenient. The staff were friendly and described the drinks. I loved the strawberry matcha! So delish! It was one of the best I've had in island! A perfect mix of matcha, milk, and strawberry.

    Mango Black/Jasmine tea with Boba  0% sweetness taste just as good !
    Meleana L.

    Refreshing ! Boba is so soft! Ladies are so friendly, polite (epically when your family can't make up their minds), they make the drinks very quick. We'll be back again to try the other teas and milk teas ! Great spot to be in Kahala mall!

    Located in Kahala Mall, in a little kiosk. Im so glad I came across this place. I cant remember the drink I got, but it was so good! I was unsure of what to get at first and the cashier explained what was in each drink for me to decide. My daughter even loved the drink. The line was long when we got there but it went quickly.

    Sadie N.

    Tapioca was good and well made! Will noted that the milk tea is pre made and comes unsweetened, so specify if you want sugar. Located inside the mall around the Sephora area, a smaller stand with a large menu and photos to help you decide your drink choice. Because of the premade mix, service was quick and easy to receive my drink.

    Pick up here

    Refreshing drink at Kahala Mall, Honolulu, Hawaii... Chaya Hawaii is a kiosk near to SEPHORA. I've passed by so many times without trying it. Now, I know to visit often because they have a Loyalty Rewards system: Five Stars. There's no card to lose... just enter your phone number onto the tablet! I just wanted something plain, so I decided to get a Plantation Tea, half sweet with black tea. The 12 oz. was $5 while the 24 oz. size was $6. Yes, I drank double the amount for $1 more! Service was efficient and pleasant in the air-conditioned mall! Order at one window and pick up at the window on the other side of the kiosk. I'll be back - especially because I discovered small bits of fresh strawberry at the bottom of the cup! Thank you for the little extra special touch!

If you don't know what this is, reach out to me please. Anyhow, I got the brazillian smoothie with acai and a bunch of other ingredients. It tasted super healthy but not too sweet. Also got a $2 shot that fired up my lungs in the name of antioxidants and vitamin C. There was a noticeable amount of ginger and cayenne pepper in it, so keep that in mind. I drank it too fast to have any photos, but I'll definitely be back to try out more smoothies considering they're $8. Good deal!

The gal processed a bunch of people quite quickly! We ordered at the counter, waited inside, and picked up our orders outside. (They have outdoor seating, but it was a very hot August day.) We both got the Tuesday Special: tacos and a smoothie for $16. What a deal because tacos are $12 already and a smoothie is $8. It's like saving $4 when you get the Special! The Morning Mana Smoothie had some coffee in it. Maybe that's why it tasted sour? It couldn't be from the coconut milk or almond butter. Maybe the banana was over ripe? The Rainbow tacos had blueberries which matched the delicious dressing and purple cabbage! The hummus was a bit spicy, but the pita bread, avocado, tomato, and cucumber couldn't balance it out. I would go back again for more menu items!

    I think I may have found my new forever spot…read more This was my first visit, and when I arrived the ordering area was at capacity, so I was standing outside. I noticed a QR code on the door for online ordering, scanned it, grabbed an outdoor table and figured I'd give that a try. I ordered the Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich, the Apple Pecan Salad with balsamic dressing, and a large cold brew. I paid online and sat outside for maybe 15-20 minutes. I never did figure out whether I was supposed to get a notification that my order was ready, so eventually I just went inside to check. Sure enough, it was ready. Easy enough, and everyone I interacted with was incredibly kind. Then I got home and opened everything, and THAT is when I became really impressed. I had included a note with my order that I planned to eat the salad the following day and asked that the wet ingredients be kept separate. They absolutely understood the assignment. Everything was packaged so thoughtfully. The Apple Pecan Salad was beautiful, incredibly fresh and substantial, with the ingredients carefully separated so it would keep. It wasn't some obligatory pile of greens tossed into a container. You could actually see the care that went into making it. The Smoked Salmon and Bacon sandwich was equally good. Fresh, generously filled and absolutely delicious. I ate half the sandwich and some of the salad and was completely satisfied. Between the two, I can easily get four meals out of what I ordered, which makes the value even better. And the cold brew? Wowzer. Robust and delicious! I think what impressed me most was simply the level of care. A sandwich and a salad aren't complicated foods, but doing simple food really well takes effort. Fresh produce, good ingredients, thoughtful preparation, paying attention to a customer's request, and putting out food that looks every bit as good as it tastes. I felt that in this order. I actually tipped 15% when I ordered because I was thinking, okay, this is basically grab-and-go. After I got home and ate the food, I wished I'd tipped 20%. It genuinely felt good spending my money here. This was visit number one, and they've already set the benchmark. I really hope they stay exactly like this, because what a find. I will absolutely be back.

    Super late review -…read more I'm sad. I really wanted to love this place but I just couldn't. I don't want to be that person when this place has an overall rating of 4.5 but this is just my honest opinion. I got the blue dream and yes it was very ascetically pleasing, but it was just too icy. Before coming to this place i read a couple of reviews that also said the same thing and i didn't understand what that meant, but now I do. There are a lot of flavorless, just regular, small shards of ice in the bowl. On top of that, the moment I received my bowl, it was already borderline melted. So that got me thinking, how can it be melted and icy at the same time? The only explanation that I can think of is just ice additive/fillers. It's not pure cold acai or whatever is in the bowl you choose, but there's a mixture of ice in it too. Yes I understand, it's Waikiki, everything is more expensive, but the added topping prices on top of the already expensive bowl prices just don't make sense. You want a beautiful looking bowl with a lot of different toppings, yet some toppings can go up to 1 dollar PER topping. I don't know if I've just been spoiled by a couple places in SoCal, but at those places they have unlimited toppings and those bowls are the best that there is. I'm not bringing any bias from other locations, but this is just an honest review based on my experience today.
