Snack time in Moiliili, Honolulu, Hawaii... After a fun Mah Jong session (even though I technically didn't win), Paul C. and I weren't ready to call it a day yet. I suggested that we have a snack at a place that I had seen on social media (Instagram). I picked up Paul and took him to Old Stadium Square where there are many foodie places and a free shared parking lot. He couldn't guess where we were going... Haha! Fresh Bites! What's that? They have poke bowls, Acai bowls, bubble tea, mochi waffles, etc. It's quite a good variety of options for a cozy shop! When we entered, I liked the cute decor right away. The big wall mural with the surf boards gave the place positive energy! The spring green chairs added a pop of cheerfulness and the Instagramworthy wall had a nice version of their logo! Service was above friendly because the gal at the cash register was so helpful and efficient! She repeated our order to make sure she got everything recorded correctly! Yay! Then we sat for a minute, chatted, and were served our beautiful snacks! Paul wanted a matcha latte and the matcha mochi waffle. That green waffle was decorated so strikingly! The berries, ube ice cream, and whipped cream made me not want to destroy it. Paul cut it up and let me taste the waffle - chewy with a slight outer crunch... And not that bitter! (I'm always wary of matcha bitterness.) I got the Butterfly Pea Honey Lemonade - I liked it a lot because it wasn't too sweet, and it was refreshing with a two-toned lavender/yellow hue ...pretty! I also ordered a single scoop Acai Bowl. It was perfect! Sliced bananas, granola, coconut flakes, strawberries, and blueberries gave me a healthy boost! Thanks to Fresh Bites for a happy snack! We'll be back for the poke bowls! read more

I'm happy that my friend thought of trying Fresh Bites. Not only is it open on Mondays and Tuesdays when a lot of eating places are closed, but there's also free parking. Fresh Bites is easy to find. It is in the middle of the complex between Golden Eagle and Kozo Sushi. There are a few tables set in a cute, colorful dining area. We were there at about 11am on Monday and there were lots of open tables. We had a nice quiet lunch with time to enjoy the surroundings. The variety of items was impressive... mochi waffles, acai bowls, poke bowls, kalua pork moco, sukiyaki don, salads, bubble waffles and ice cream! Plus, choose a latte, cold brew, ice tea, or lemonade to complete the meal. I only tried a few things thus time. The signature matcha mochi waffles comes with fruit and a scoop of ube ice cream. This is a signature dish for a reason. It is not only delicious, but beautiful! The waffle is soft and a little chewy. It would be perfect if it were crispy on the outside, but it's still tasty. The ice cream provides a little more sweetness without being too sweet. The arabiki waffle dogs were a nice, savory compliment to the other dish... and there are two, perfect for sharing! For me the show stopper was the lilikoi calamansi green tea. I loved it! There are other beverages too. But I will detour through King St. just to get another one of these! Next time, I have my eye on a mochi waffle benedict or the beef sukiyaki &. egg don... or, a poke bowl. Just don't go on a Wednesday when they are closed! read more

Honey calamansi lemonade is refreshing especially when it's hot outside. Took out a Mochi waffle dog(arabiki is inside which had a nice snap, kabayaki sauce, Bonito, and mayo on top) was average. The kabayaki sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, personally don't think it needs it, might taste better with cheese(which is extra). The mochi waffle tastes just like how it sounds. Mochi part was like a soft chewiness, just wish maybe outside part would be crispy. Comes in order of 2. Sashimi salad was good, fish was fresh. Just a little expensive, but that's how things are nowadays with inflation and supply issues. read more

3.26.2022 Fresh Bites Cafe Hawaii on South King St is participating in Food-A-Go-Go. Their specials are spicy ahi poke bombs and salmon nigiri sushi. Four pieces each in a bento container for $12.95! The ahi was fresh, grade A to me, and the perfect amount of spicyness. The salmon sashimi was fresh, melt in your mouth goodness, topped with three beautiful bright orange salmon roe. Good amount of rice ratio. Wasabi and pickled ginger included. So delicious! Also, you get a free cup of iced tea or coffee when you check-in on Yelp or Facebook! Fresh Bites Cafe is well lighted, very clean, with a few tables and chairs for patrons. They sell bottled water and can juices. As soon as we stepped into the Cafe, we were welcomed immediately with sincerity. They had laminated menus on a table and at the ordering station. Service was quick. And free parking! read more

I first saw this place on IG and wanted to try it for the poke, but when I saw their menu, I knew I had to try their benedict. I made a takeout order with them over the phone since the online ordering website was a bit weird and everything went smoothly. Where else can you get benedicts like this? I ordered the beef sukiyaki benedict, which is one of their popular choices (along with the portuguese sausage one). The base is their mochi waffle, topped with beef sukiyaki (thinly sliced beef and onions), poached egg, and hollandaise sauce. It's an unusual combination but works so well! The egg was also cooked really well and was still yolky when I got back to the office to eat it. I'll still have to go back to try the poke, but it might be hard to resist ordering this every time! read more

Went first thing in the morning and got the pork kakuni eggs benny. The pork had great flavor and was super tender. The waffle was a bit soggy and not as crunchy but thats to be expected since the pork had sauce and made the waffle a little soggy. The waffle itself was pretty standard. I loved that you could order tater tots to go with it. I also ended up getting a lilikoi calamansi green tea (10/10 would get that again). Service was fast and friendly. read more

I've come here several times and enjoyed everything I've tried from the poke bowls to the bubble waffle desserts! Their prices are pretty reasonable especially since they serve fresh fish. I'm quite finicky when it comes to fish and it's definitely not previously frozen. The service was always helpful. There was just one day it took forever to order. I think she didn't know how to work the cash register or didn't know how to do the promotion on the register. There's some parking out front. Most of it is 15 minute stalls. I think there located in the spot where sweet home cafe used to be! read more

I've had Fresh Bites bookmarked for awhile and finally got the chance to pop in pick up their spicy ahi bombs, salmon ikura nigiri and a beef bowl. All the items were just as expected. The April special includes an iced tea of choice for $13.99. I definitely want to come back and try their mochi waffle and sandwiches, as well as their poke bowls. Parking is easy right in front the store. read more

My coworker found Fresh Bites on his Instagram and recommended that we try it for lunch. The menu is easy enough so that a few of us could call in our order at the same time. I volunteered to pick it up. The parking lot is usually a mess, but during lunch, it wasn't bad. Fresh Bites is located near where the old Sweet Home was, in the same building. We ordered a few poke bowls and the nice people working gave us some drinks to try as well! When I got back to work, my coworkers were excited to see me bring them drinks, too, and assumed that I bought it for them. LOL. I corrected them and said the nice people at Fresh Bites included them and my coworkers were really impressed: "they didn't just give YOU one?".....nope, they wanted all of us to try them. I ordered a spicy ahi poke bowl. I got it "cali style" which came with all the extra toppings. The poke was really fresh, the spicy mayo was delicious and I actually liked having the takuan, edamame, and seaweed salad, even though it kinda reminded me of mainland style poke places. The poke bowls might seem a little pricey, but, honestly, they are similar in price to places that use fresh ahi. I'd be back--especially to try the salmon and ikura bowl. read more

We came here on a whim searching for poke bowls when all our favorite spots were closed, and it's now on our list of favorites. The menu is huge and expansive, with lots of different mochi waffle options and many different fish dishes. Everything is very reasonably priced, the fish tastes fresh and is good quality, and the fish slices are way thicker and bigger than I've ever seen, so it's a great value for the price! The place is small and doesn't have a ton of seating, but they have a takeout counter in case you don't want to wait for a table. We will definitely be back and be bringing friends next time! read more

Every morning is a fresh new day and Fresh Bites is a beautiful way to start. Filling up the last visible spot across Old Stadium park between Lunar tea and Cocina De Roja is Fresh Bites. Still at its soft opening (8/4-8/11/21) from 10 am-2pm known for fresh poke bowl you can make it your own they also offer Signature donburi, salads and brunch items WOOOAH! I had to have and was craving for some poke and thought of the perfect place since I had a work meeting to attend...let's start creating!! Mini size 1. Ahi Poke Bowl (they also have Fresh "of course!") 2. Fresh greens (red cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers and corn) 3. Spicy Mayo sauce 4. Toppings: Fried onions, fried garlic, sesame seeds and Furikake (no green onions) 5. No additional toppings 6. If you have salad...dressing: Creamy Sesame To be honest I was on a time constraint so no pictures of my bowl :'( but snapped some shots of it. First of all I absolutely loved it!! Generous portion of poke slathered with sauce that is actually spicy and the additional Kabayaki sauce is just yummy!! I chose all free toppings except for green onions but you're also able to add more luxurious bites: - for $2: diced avocado, crab salad, kimchee, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, poached egg - for $3: Masago, ocean salad, pickled garlic - for $4.50: Ikura If I chose ranch this could've been totally Keto and I love that they offer dressing as several places I've been doesn't offer that and you have six to choose from. Mini is a superb starter size getting the bowl next time. Soon will be their grand opening so follow them on Instagram @freshbiteshawaii they are open for indoor dining with tables surrounded by beautifully fresh scenes. With the friendliest staff serving poke and brunch is bliss I was even offered coffee while I waited for my order and it was unknowingly exactly what I needed. You can also order online through Clover. They say fresh is best lol! Thank you!! read more

I've been here twice now and both times I was pleased. The first time we went we ate every last bit of our food despite it being a lot. It was delicious! The second time we got two waffle sandwiches. The drinks were still good, but my sando wasn't as good as the other things I've have. Still delicious, though! Don't get me wrong. The sushi burritos remind me of a sushi place we loved to go to when we lived in San Diego, CA called sushi freak. Thanks for touching my heart the matcha waffles was subtly sweet but very good. Highly recommend. We shall be back! Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the sandwiches and honey calamenci lemonade. read more

I ordered for the first time here because the matcha waffle with ube looked so Ono! I only found the matcha waffle with fruit trio on the menu so I ordered that. I also got the ahi tempura bowl that was buy one get one free! They were so fresh and delicious! I filled up on the bowl so I only had a triangle of the waffle. I'll have breakfast and lunch tomorrow too. So ono! read more

We had the veggie mochi waffles Benedict and the 6 piece sushi bombs.

Their breakfast menu items are also generously sized and tasty as well. read more

Interesting food small place alot of selections from breakfast to sushi parking lot available

Went kinda early so there was lotsa parking. This place fills up though especially at dinner time. Staff was super friendly and helpful Got the chirashi because i like just plain chunks of fish. Made to order so took a bit since theres so many things to cut up. Massive bowl of rice with furikake (which was different) topped with the usual suspects found in a chirashi. Fish was pretty fresh. Breakfast menu looks super good too. Such an interesting mix of items that you wouldn't normally see together. Breakfast and sushi? Who knew! read more

My cousin said to meet me here. I had never been and I guess it's new. We were the first ones in. It's a cozy little restaurant that offers table service. We shared the kahlua pork benedict and the mochi waffles. We should've asked for extra hollandaise because i was soooo good! We loved the dressing on the salad! But it was the matcha waffle that was soooooooo effing good! The waffle is chewy which makes it stay crispy under the toppings! Ube ice cream and honey drizzle and it was delicious! My cousin had the lilikoi green iced tea and she was in heaven! The staff is so incredibly sweet and friendly! I wish I had another day to come back, but there's always spring break!

A diamond in the rough to be sure. From the outside this place doesn't look like much but the food is well worth it. They have very creative and interesting menu. We all tried Benedict Meals. One featuring Portuguese sausage, one with Sukiyaki Beef and one with Kalua pork.... All come on a mochi waffle instead of English muffins and it definitely works! We didn't try the poke but it looked quite yummy. For dessert it was Ube ice cream on a brownie waffle... also did not disappoint! Only downfall was the service was a little lackluster (not bad just no personality) and for some reason they played the same song over and over ..... Miley Cyrus Flowers. Fortunately we like that song:) read more

This is a delicious little place tucked into the little mall across from old Stadium Park. It is only open for breakfast and lunch, and one of ITS big draws is its waffles. You can get them with traditional, breakfast, toppings, or lunch waffle, as I did, with Kahlúa, pig and avocado. Extremely delicious! It was mochi waffle so it was substantial enough to hold up under the food, and the whole presentation was elevated with thinly sliced onions sprinkled with fine pepper. I wish I had taken a better picture to share. I would definitely order this again. Not for nothing, it was a half waffle piled with meat and avocado, so for me. It was the perfect size for lunch. Gigantic appetites might want to look for something else. My friend had a do it yourself poke bowl, which she loved. I usually don't get the drinks at these lunch places because they're usually something horrible like iced tea made from a powdered mix, but they had a number of creative and fresh drinks on the menu. I had the honey lemonade with calamansi. It was fresh and sweet, not bitter and boxed. I would probably also get one of their fun drinks again. The place is small and very clean. It's like a little room with tables in it - the ambience is not why you would go to this place. The delicious food is. I have definitely put a checkmark on it to come back again! read more

Got breakfast from here 2x because the Portuguese sausage & eggs breakfast was amazing, the khalua pork Benedict and smoked salmon Benedict were to die for. The waffle isn't sweet so it's more like the traditional English muffin. I got a salad with mine, hubby got rice & we were both more than happy. The portions are enough that I turned our leftovers into fried rice the next day. Totally worth it & will be back when I'm back on the island read more

This was our first meal in Oahu, and we were all pretty hungry. The shop is a small one-level storefront, not super visible from the outside (although there is a sign). The island-themed decor inside the shop was really welcoming. There were a lot of options on the menu. The portions were pretty big, but we finished all of it. My poke bowl had a lot of creamy crab salad, which I was not in the mood for. read more

Breakfast, poke bowls, coffee, and tea?! You name it. Fresh Bites is where it's at. Located in across from the old stadium, in the same area as Shingen, Crossfit, and Niu. Just be aware the parking can be limited at times due to the other businesses surrounding however, there is some street parking available if needed. Though the restaurant is small, it definitely have a lot of options Menu consists of different mochi options like sandwiches, benedicts, and dessert waffles. They also have poke bowl options and assorted types of sushi. They also have many iced tea selections and coffee options. We tried the pastrami mochi waffle sandwich, smoked salmon eggs benedict, and their matcha waffle with assorted fruits and ube icecream. I really enjoyed the mochi waffle sandwich. The consistency was chewy and not heavy considering mochi is heavy. It was a little sweet however with the pastrami, it was the perfect combination. My friend really enjoyed her benedict as well. The matcha waffle was good but the star of the show were our savory dishes. Staff are friendly and patient. The cook came out and even asked us for our honest opinions regarding the food. Prices are reasonable as well. They do offer coupons from time to time but from now until September 30 they're offering 20% off (except on fish items) for their one year anniversary. Would definitely come back! read more

Came during their anniversary celebration for brunch with a friend. Decided on their mochi waffle Benedict which was a total hit for me. The mochi waffle was so chewy and sweet. Having it paired with the pork belly and egg gave it a nice sweet and salty flavor. The tots it came with were also good too. We also got a sushi plate which had garlic salmon and hamachi, and spicy ahi inari. Only knocking a star because my matcha latte was really powdery and had clumps of matcha stuck together. Wouldn't get that again, but definitely try their mochi waffle Benedict's! read more

My wife and I tried Fresh Bites for the first time at 10:30am on Prince Kuhio Day and were surprised to find the parking lot wide open. I'm not a foodie so here's a brief summary of our experience. - cozy seating with about 6 tables - wait staff was friendly and helpful - Kalua Pork Benedict: the kalua pork was tasty and nicely offset by the chewy mochi waffle - Vanilla Bean Mochi Waffle: hit the spot for my wife who enjoys a desserty breakfast - Vanilla Latte with an extra shot of expresso: this was a treat for us; strong but smooth and a little sweet - the food was so good we decided to get a sashimi bowl for my dad which looked great (hasn't been consumed yet) We look forward to trying more off the extensive menu next time! read more

This is a nice little place next to Shingen. We were walking by when we decided to get a bowl of poke to take home. If you order poke, best to get a large - even though the display bowl looks too big. The small was pretty small and might be good for a small person. But if you are any decent eater, you will want a large. In addition to poke, they make sandwiches and drinks. I tried the sweet potato latte and it was interesting. Small chunks of purple sweet potato mixed in with a sugary mixture and ice. I thought it was pretty good. I have to agree with others that the customer service was adequate and could certainly be better. There is no friendly vibe, just curt service. As I said - adequate. The ambience is nice. read more

Honestly, it's such a shame given how beautiful the restaurant is and how carefully crafted the food seems to be ... the customer service brings their rating to 3 stars. I visited Fresh Bites for the first time yesterday and ordered a Vietnamese cold brew. The cashier was struggling a bit but I remained patient. I paid with cash. She was short on change, so I let her know it was okay. She didn't acknowledge what I said (maybe she didn't hear) but gave me a couple cents short. I was okay with it though I found it strange that she didn't say anything about it or suggest I pay with card ... oh well. I brushed it off. The Vietnamese cold brew is good for people who like condensed milk. It was a bit sweet and not as strong as I'd like but it was still good. Today, I visited once again with my boyfriend. We ordered 2 iced oatmilk vanilla lattes. We clarified that they were both made with oatmilk several times. We also ordered the mochi waffle dogs (sausage ones). The cashier, who had red hair and glasses, seemed miserable or stressed -- which I originally empathized with until she was unpleasant with me. There were two older women ahead of me who were waiting on a table. Instead of communicating to these ladies to wait on the side or alerting me that she was ready to take her order, the cashier just stared ahead at me, looking annoyed. I took it upon myself to ask the ladies if they were okay with me ordering, as they were standing right in front of the cashier. They said yes and moved to the side. I ordered and waited patiently for my drinks and food. While waiting, I noticed the red-haired girl and someone who seemed like a manager or the owner did a lot of the work. The other workers looked confused and weren't very helpful. Unfortunately, though the red haired girl seemed efficient and hardworking, she wasn't nice/friendly to customers. Very monotoned and annoyed in her demeanor. The other workers weren't service forward either. The business is cute and fairly new, but so far from efficient. The worker who handed my boyfriend and I our drinks again confirmed "both with oatmilk, right?" to which we nodded our heads. My drink was sickly sweet but I wasn't gonna complain or dock the review stars because that could be an issue of my preference. My boyfriend agreed that his drink (which was supposed to be just like mine) was too sweet. I took a sip of his. Turns out his was made with oatmilk and the one I took was made with what seemed to be a sweetened/flavored SOY milk. At that point, I was already frustrated and didn't think it was worth telling the staff -- especially given it was pretty busy. I went home and doctored my drink. No big deal. The mochi waffle dogs were pretty good and at a fair price. One lady came up to us and said "your order is ready," but failed to indicate where we were to pick it up ... she just walked away. Overall, I don't know if I'll go back to this place as I've witnessed and personally experienced bad customer service. I think this place is still worth a shot as they are figuring things out and staff members are undergoing training. I just don't personally have the money to spend on a potentially negative experience. read more

We were in the area, and hungry, and looking for a place to get a late lunch. Fresh Bites fit that bill. Pros: fish was fresh. We both got California dons, my friend got hers with ahi and mine with salmon. The spicy sauce was unique and unlike other spicy ahi/salmon I've had, so points to them for that. Drinks were very good and refreshing. They had various iced teas and lemonades and they all sounded great. Cons: menu here was pricy. I believe each poke bowl was $18. Not sure if it's inflation, but I guess I'm accustomed to $10-$15 for poke bowls so $18 just seemed a bit high. It also took quite some time for our poke bowls to come out. They have our drinks right away and I had pretty much finished by the time the poke bowl came out. I would rate Fresh Bites 3.5 stars for overall experience but decided to round up for my Yelp review. read more
