    Our smoothies were very tasty and perfect for our day out. The cafe is adorable and cozy inside. Service was nice.

    Found this place on DoorDash and they have great deal over there. I really liked their sushi burritos and mango sticky rice smoothy so I ended up driving there for a second time to check them out in person. The place is super cute and parking is one way in on s king st and out on young st and vis versa for the other side. It can be limited if you coming there dinner time. Food is great and drinks are unique and tasty. We got: - combo Beef sukiyaki and 2pcs spicy ahi bomb: 9.5/10 this was good it's just 9.5 to my taste. This came with miso soup and salad. Great portion as well. - poke : 10/10 fish was fresh and tasty. Really good cut and generous portion. - spicy ahi bomb 6pcs: 10/10 I really liked this too but my eye got too big and ended up eating way too much - honey lemonade: 10/10 very subtle honey and natural taste not chemically like some places. My partner really liked it and he usually doesn't like lemonade.

    It's raining. It's pouring. Staying at home is boring. And it's my niece's bday! Whoop! 11 years old. And where does she want to go? Here! What are we (in our party of 7) eating? Portuguese sausage eggs Benedict Mixed poke don New Kai Don Mochi waffle Canadian bacon sandwich Smoked salmon avocado toast Beef sukiyaki eggs Benedict Pastrami eggs Benedict Açaí bowl Matcha lattes My mom and the rest of us really like the freshness of the sushi burritos. The people here are always friendly. And very helpful. We love it. What a great stop for the bday girl and all of us who got to join her!

    A cozy little restaurant with plenty of parking out front. We were pleasantly surprised by the food here as it was so fresh, flavorful, and healthy. My husband got the new bites donburi and he said he raved about the taste saying he could eat a whole gallon of it! He particularly loved the salmon and the garlicky seasoning on it. My mochi waffle was excellent and the ube ice cream so delicious. They also have lots of coffee options. We loved our Vietnamese cold brews! We will definitely come back to bring the kids.

    Smoked Salmon Benedict
    Xin L.

    Came here for brunch on Thanksgiving morning, due to the holiday, most places were closed so we were glad to find a spot open (we called ahead to check). They have a decently sized shared parking lot, however since there are so many establishments, you would likely struggle to find spot during peak hours (especially if all the other places are also open). They're also a fairly small establishment, meant more for grab and go I would assume, but capable of seating 8-10ish people within. Since most orders were grab and go, we were luckily able to be immediately seated. We ordered: * Smoked Salmon Benedict: 9.7​/10 this was really good to me. Everything just went perfectly together and the smoked salmon flavor added depth to the hollandaise sauce and egg flavor. The mochi waffle was slightly sweet. My ONLY critique is that I wished the mochi waffle was a bit toasted to add a textual contrast, as most benedicts have an English muffin (which is toasted) as the base. * California Don: 7/10. My friend got this, he liked it, I thought it was okay. I think the sauce is a bit too much and the ratio is slightly off (I think mayube like 10% more fish would've been better) * 4 Inari Bombs (2 spicy ahi and 2 spicy salmon): 10/10 I was really craving raw fish and this helped to perfectly satisfy the craving. * 4 Shrimp tempuras: 7/10 we just got this to share. It is very clearly like a frozen store bought shrimp tempura fried. Not a huge deal, it was just something to nom on with the other dishes. I would note that I got my benedict decently fast (less than 10 mins) and then my friend got their donburi and everything else (inari, tempura) like 10 minutes after me. I would 100% come back again, likely just to order the same thing again (salmon benedict).

    @fortunefoodfinds: "FIN-tastic deals you'll L.O.V.E. so MATCHA! A mochi waffle, spicy ahi bomb + salmon nigiri sushi set special, n' BOGO strawberry matcha lattes from Fresh Bites in Mo'ili'ili. They always got specials that are great tasting. Hurry over bc there's no time wasting!" Staff: friendly Interior: small, very limited table seating Exterior: in the same area as Niu n' Alii Fish Market Wait time: 10 mins Parking: one-way lot that is usually full, have to circle around n' wait for someone to leave Overall comments: came in for their sushi set special that was going for $10.99 n' their buy one, get one strawberry matcha latte. Matcha was real nice n' tasty, balanced with the sweet strawberry puree. The salmon nigiri was simple but complimented the star of the show, the spicy ahi bombs, which were so good. Ordered the mochi waffle for my kids, which they all ate! My 11 m/o ate the fruit on top while my 4 y/o & 2 y/o are fans of anything mochi waffle. I'll have to come back for their Matcha Mondays $2.99 n' Thirsty Thursdays for $1.99 teas/lattes!

    If you are ever looking for a super fresh delicious sushi platter in urban Honolulu. Look no further! This was the freshest fish sushi platter that I have ordered in a long time.

    Beef pastrami mochi waffle eggs Benedict with salad.
    Sara L.

    Came for Thirsty Thursday, stayed for the eggs Benedict. Every Thursday, Fresh Bites offers a $1.99 special for lattes and iced teas. On my recent visit, they also happened to be offering a Labor Day weekend special on eggs Benedict dishes for $9.99. What a steal! So, I decided to stay and eat in. Fresh Bites is in Moiliili, tucked between Thai Issan II and Lunar Tea, and it has a backward sign above the door. The space is quaint, with a few small tables available for dining in. Come early because during lunch, the place filled up quick. I ordered the beef pastrami mochi waffle Benedict. The pastrami was shaved thin and a bit dry, but was smoky, peppery, and I could really taste the mustard seed flavor coming through. The eggs were perfectly poached and jiggly (just the way I like them), smothered in a rich hollandaise sauce, and all of this topped a subtly sweet and chewy mochi waffle. The side salad with sesame dressing really helped cut through the heaviness of the dish. The latte was quite sweet and tasted more of caramel than hazelnut, but satisfying and you can't beat the Thirsty Thursday price. Hoping to come back for their fruit smoothies or $2.99 Matcha Mondays.

    Get your Fresh Bites here! Get your mochi waffles, lattes, and sushi burritos here! Now that's a combo you will rarely see being offered all at once place. Fresh Bites is a breakfast, cafe, and sushi place all wrapped into one. It's located in the Old Stadium Square strip mall in Mo'ili'ili, along South King Street, just before Isenberg St. sharing the same building with Golden Eagle, Kozo Sushi, Thai Issan II, and etc. There's a parking accessible from both South King and Young St. The sign says it's free parking for one hour, but I'm not sure how or who's enforcing that... it should be okay to just park. The inside is quite small and cozy, with a few tables evenly spaced out. Clean, bright, and comfortable. The menu is actually quite simple and straightforward. Prices are okay. One of the interesting ideas I've never seen before is a Mochi Waffle Benedict. Is it a good idea? Can be. We started with the Beef Sukiyaki Benedict with a choice of rice, salad, or tater tots (+$1). The eggs were jumbo size and cooked well enough with the (unusually) small runny yolk. The Hollandaise sauce was a little bit different than the classic. It was light and creamy. Less eggs and more mayo. Salad was fresh. The beef sukiyaki was tasty and delicious. A nice balance of sweet and savory. The mochi waffle was plain and dense. I wish it had more savoriness, more richness, more mochi-ness, and more crispiness. This is my first time having a Sushi Burrito. Isn't this just a super size handroll? We got the Shrimp Tempura Sushi Burrito, and this was very good and nicely and neatly prepared. There were two pieces of well seasoned shrimp tempura that kept it's crunch throughout. A nice amount of spicy mayo, fresh salad and avocado. Rice was nicely seasoned and not overly mushy. Didn't see they offer regular coffee, so went with the Americano. I rarely order these, but wow, this was very good and exceeded my expectations. Perfect ratio of espresso and water. This was smooth, rich with clean coffee flavor. Can I get a refill (or at least fill it closer to the top)?? The Vietnamese Cold Brew was good, but not as good as the Americano. It was creamy and had a nice amount of condensed milk, but it was on the light side and lacked the usual boldness. Overall, this was a new and interesting experience with a variety of food items you wouldn't usually find on the same menu. Everything was good and fresh. I feel it's a touch pricey, but you get decent portions. The service was fine. I'll definitely comeback to try more things!

    Vietnamese iced coffee

    I visited Fresh Bites with work friends on our lunch break because we heard about their $1.99 thirsty Thursday deal, where you can choose anything from their coffee, black tea, or green tea options for $1.99 (excludes matcha drinks). When we showed up and heard they were having a $9.99 eggs benedict mochi waffle deal, we decided to grab a quick lunch, too! Food: I ordered the beef sukiyaki eggs benedict mochi waffle and a side salad. It was a fun spin on eggs benedict, with a mochi waffle instead of an English muffin, and beef sukiyaki instead of the Canadian bacon. The side salad came with a creamy sesame dressing - it was nice to have a light side dish since the eggs benedict was so filling. The beef sukiyaki was comforting and tasty, and worked well with the dish! I liked it overall, but I think the hollandaise sauce was a little bland and the eggs were not as runny as I was expecting. I don't think they weren't poached because they were perfectly dome shaped. For the thirsty Thursday deal, I ordered the Vietnamese iced coffee. It was good! Nice and strong, creamy, and sweet. I got a coffee to-go for my friend, and they put a wrapper on the to-go cup so it wouldn't spill out the straw hole of the lid, which is so thoughtful! They have some fun drinks on their menu, like coconut water Americano, so I definitely want to come back again to try those! They also have a matcha Monday deal, where you can get a matcha latte for $2.99 Service: Our food was ready super fast! The restaurant got crowded really quickly, and the staff worked hard to keep up with the rush. They were nice and answered all our questions. Ambiance: Casual vibe, quick service Parking: Free parking for 1 hour. Since the parking lot serves customers of many other restaurants and businesses, it's pretty crowded.

    Beef Pastrami Benedict
    Tasha K.

    I went to Fresh Bites for their "Thirsty Thursday" not knowing what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! Their lattes, green teas, and black teas were $1.99 for "Thirsty Thursday" and they were doing an eggs benedict special, so we ended up eating there, too. The Lilikoi Calamansi Green Tea was just the right amount of fresh, tart, and not-too-sweet -- I would definitely get it again! The Mochi Waffle Beef Pastrami Benedict was pretty good, especially with the side salad. The egg wasn't as runny as I was hoping and the pastrami was alright, but the mochi waffle went together really well with the pastrami and egg! My friend got the Sukiyaki Benedict, which I personally liked more. Vibe: The restaurant has a handful of tables, but there were a lot of people coming in and out with take-out orders. The servers were very nice and hard working for how many sit-down and to-go customers they were helping. Parking: They have free parking for one hour, but the lot is quite small so it was hard to find an open stall during lunch time.

    Stopped by to try their benedicts. Smoked Salmon Benedict: Enjoy our Mochi Waffle Eggs Benedict topped with fresh Spinach, Smoked Salmon, poached Eggs and Hollandaise Sauce with fresh Green salad. There was a good amount of smoked salmon. The spinach was missing. It was on 1/2 a waffle - 2 quarter wedges of a waffle. Toasted the waffle at home to crispen. Their green salad is mixed greens with a sesame / goma dressing. Not the usual tossed greens. Canadian Bacon Benedict: Enjoy our Mochi Waffle Eggs Benedict topped with fresh Spinach, Canadian Bacon, poached Eggs and Hollaindaise Sauce. Complimented with fresh Green salad. There were 3 slices of Canadian Bacon - not skimpy. The mango coconut smoothie was yummy & on the sweet side. Will return to try other menu items. 2 hard working women doing everything in the cozy spot. See their promos on IG. https://www.instagram.com/freshbiteshawaii/

    Fresh Bites is a nice place for a quick breakfast or lunch in Moilili. They offer a punch card rewards system! Parking: Lot located in front of the restaurant with lots of stalls. Service: Great! Ambiance: Causal brunch spot located in town. Food: Offers classic brunch options alongside dishes with asian fusion, poke, and sushi. All their offerings have been solid so far.

Their rocky road ice cream would be part of my last meal. Their regular menu have not disappointed the last 6 years but honestly if you're willing to try new things, I'd recommend hearing their specials and giving them a shot. Always creative and just fun to switch things up for your regular order.

    I recently went to fete for my birthday dinner. Friends and coworkers of mine have been raving…read moreabout it for months so I figured it was time to try it. First was parking. Parking in town can be tough if you want street parking so rather than stress I just parked across the street in a public garage. Walking up to fete we didn't even realize we had arrived. There was no signage out front but there was a huge hanging F above the front door. Unfortunately it was windy when I went so it was blowing around and I missed it. For those who also have boy eyes like me, it's on the corner of Hotel and Nuuanu right next to Pizza Mamo. There was indoor and outdoor seating as well as bar seating. I had made a reservation for indoor and we were seated immediately. Tables are on the small side so prepare for crowding. Our waiter was extremely friendly and provided us with suggestions as well as the daily specials. I ordered the special (prosciutto wrapped mahi mahi) and my companions ordered the spaghetti carbonara and the kanpachi for the mains. We also got the quinoa cakes and a baked oyster special for our starters. Prosciutto Mahi Mahi was so delicious. I also tried a little of the other dishes and loved the kanpachi. The carbonara was soooo black peppery I did not enjoy it. Quinoa cakes were good, nothing phenomenal. The baked oyster was a pleasant surprise as I usually only like raw oysters but they were seasoned well and not overdone. Would definitely recommend Fete if you're looking for a trendier place to go that not only is Instagram worthy but also has good food and drinks.

    First impression, I thought the location was kinda hidden and small. But when you enter inside,…read moreit's actually huge! They have the bakery, sit down restaursnt area, and an open kitchen. We came around 4PM and were surprised it was almost empty (but slowly it did get busier). Our food came with complimentary bread with guava sauce. It was really good! The bread is toasted, crispy, and buttery. Everyone in my party enjoyed it. We did not expect our food items to come in really large portions. I loved the chicken karaage! The batter was light and crispy with great flavors and had a yummy sauce drizzled on top. It also came with a scoop of rice, buttered corn, and Mac salad. Mac salad was delicious! Prime rib sandwich came with salad and au jus sauce and a side of salad. It's good but also very filling. I didn't try the burger or teriyaki chicken but was told both were delicious. After dinner, we ordered a few items from the bakery to eat on the plane. You have to take a number and wait for them to call it. I got 2 kouign Amannn, 2 Dubai coco puff, and half dozen green tea puff. The kouign amann is a circular croissant. I liked that it was soft and flaky and had a sweet, crispy glaze over it. The Dubai coco puff had a strong pistachio crunchy flavor but I thought it was way too sweet for me personally. The Star of the show are the green tea cream puffs! I would come back to just order that! The top filling tasted like a thick creamy brown butter green tea-flavored icing. The filling inside doesn't taste like brown butter and less thick but still really good. Overall, they had really good food and items from the bakery. Highly recommend the infamous green tea cream and chicken karaage dish! Customer service was quick and professional though I felt like our server wasn't that friendly lol. The restaurant was very clean and had plenty of seating.

    Liliha Bakery on Nimitz has always been one of my favorites, but lately the quality has slipped…read more Toss greens and salad are cheap additions to a plate that should look more appealing, yet the presentation feels rushed. I ordered the clam chowder, and the waitress placed the spoon directly into the soup -- not something I expect from a place with their reputation The fried chicken, which I normally enjoy, came out dark brown, a bit dry, and tasted like the oil wasn't cleaned. And when I ordered the prime rib, the waitress asked if it was takeout while I was already seated in her section Clam chowder: very good Fried chicken: 3/5 Prime rib: 5/5 The bakery area is almost too good to pass up -- coco puffs still hit, and the Dubai-style pastries are a nice treat I still love this establishment, but I hope they tighten up the quality and service again Marie

    If you're looking for a breakfast place that has wonderful food and good value for money, Sweet E's…read moreCafe is the place to go. Service: Awesome. We were actually asked about 3 times by 3 different servers if we wanted a different drink besides water, which was ok with us. We appreciated them being very attentive to each table's needs. Food: 10/10. I ordered the Veggie Eggs Benedict and it tasted really good. I liked how the ingredients taste fresh and how the benny complemented very well with the potatoes. I also sampled my brother's fried rice and it was amazing. The Extreme Mess was flavorful too, a little bit on the saltier side for me but my boyfriend enjoyed it. Ambiance: We were seated outside but it was covered and well-ventilated. The place is well-maintained and clean, and has a "local brunch place" vibe which I liked. Parking: We lucked out and got parking at the available space by their lot, around 11am on a Saturday. There's also street parking available.

    It was so sad this business is closing down by Oct 31st. With rising food costs, inflation and…read morestaffing, it's understandable but I wish best endeavors for Chef Jason Peel and his staff. My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor. Both me and my fiance liked the lukki lemon dessert, like lemon meringue pie but broken down version. If you have a chance to dine here before closing and got a reservation, definitely will have a lovely dining experience and your stomach will be full by end of the night.

The staff were friendly and very helpful with giving us recommendations. We ordered 3 appetizers and 2 entrees, and honestly it was too much food for us. We had leftovers for breakfast the next day! - For appetizers we got: Ulu Tots, Japanese Eggplant, and Corn Beignets. The Corn Beignets was the best. - For entree we got: Tomato Miso Black Cod and the Short Rib. Both were delicious and worth a try. Sad to see that this restaurant appears to be closing.
