    Taro rice yogurt
    Susan U.

    Refreshing and so good! Stopped by Gangnamcha while walking around the mall and it's a cute takeout window, perfect for grabbing a drink while you shop or after a poke grab. I got the Taro Rice Yogurt Smoothie and it was so refreshing and delicious! It's my first time to taste something with rice. My friends tried different drinks, and they loved theirs too. Everything was creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of sweet. Super friendly service and quick, too. Definitely coming back next time I'm here!

    The best strawberry sago drink at half sweet! I keep coming back ever since I first tried it. Refreshing and not sweet. You can taste the fresh strawberry flavor and the sago gives a level of yummy texture to your drink. Update: Sago is a gluten-free, grain-free starch that can be used in baking, mixed with water, or added to desserts. But it has very little protein and few vitamins and minerals. Sago is a type of starch extracted from tropical palms like Metroxylon sagu. Shout out to Yelp buddy Tess M. for inquiring about Sago. In our warm and sometimes humid island weather, Gangnam Cha is a cool place to stop by for a delicious and refreshing drink. Halloween decorations are up now. Quick and fast service here. The watermelon drink is also very juicy and refreshing! This location is clean and brightly lit. Menu boards are easy to read. A printed out menu is also available at the register. Gangnam cha is located on the street level. Next to Yoajung. Makai side. Food: 4/5 stars Service: 4/5 stars Ambiance: 4/5 stars

    Lychee and mango purple rice yogurt $7 each
    Amy Y.

    Not too sweet - finally! Friendly and quick service. I ordered the mango purple rice yogurt and my friend had the lychee purple rice yogurt. Both drinks were smooth and not too sweet - just how I like it. The purple rice was okay, but I preferred the mango flavor overall - much better in my opinion. Pricing is very reasonable for the size compared to other places. I'll definitely be back to try the milk tea next time!

    November 2025 special

    I've been to GangnamCha twice since it opened in the past year. It's located outside the food court, find Jollibee, go outside and take a left and there it is. I went for the Mango sticky rice drink which became popular over the summer here following the viral down to earth version. I've had 3 mango sticky rice smoothies and GangnamCha is my 2nd favorite with MangoMango being number 1 and DTE #3. This is my second time getting the mango sticky rice and the version I had in the summer was way better I'm not sure if it's because mango is out of season now (not sure if they do fresh or frozen) but I found today's a little more bland/icy compared to the summer which had a nice kick to it. The rice was also not as fresh tasting this time around. The summer version was a 5/5 but today was more a 3/5. I wish I would've got the November taro sticky rice special instead or their strawberry. I will still come back and try again to try out the other options. The drink was ready in 2-3 minutes and the young woman at the register was sweet and friendly. There's no tables here so take it back inside the food court.

    Brown sugar milk tea with pudding
    Candace F.

    Great to see a bubble tea shop conveniently located outside of Makai market. The outside is clean and bright. Lotsa parking and prices are so good! Ordered strawberry smoothie, brown sugar milk tea with pudding and matcha milk tea. Service was good and the owners were very helpful and knowledgeable on all the menu items. They told us the matcha milk tea sugar levels could not be adjusted as they are premade. The strawberry smoothie came with pieces of fruit very thick and icy. The brown sugar milk tea was probably our favorite because of the pudding. The matcha tea was kinda grainy and okay...probably won't order again. Great to have another bubble tea option!

    Located outside of the food court on the bottom level of Ala Moana, GangnamCha is a new-ish spot for rice yogurt, smoothies, and milk teas. It just has a counter you order at and you can see people making the drinks just past the counter. It seems pretty clean but can get a bit noisy with the cars passing by outside. There is also not really seating outside, besides a few benches, and so your best bet would probably be inside the food court. We got a matcha and a mango sago with boba. The matcha was sweet and tasted similar to the one from boba places like Sharetea. It did not taste super rich like it does from matcha places but this is not strictly a matcha place so it was not really expected. The mango sago was good, also sweet. A number of their top drinks are rice yogurt drinks so we would potentially try one of those next time!

    Stopped by this spot at Ala Moana with a friend while shopping, and it was such a great find! We were looking for something refreshing, and this place totally delivered. I got the mango sago smoothie, and WOW--new favorite. It had the perfect balance of sweetness and a silky, satisfying texture. Super refreshing without being too heavy, and you can tell they use real fruit. My friend got the passion fruit sparkling water with coconut jelly, and she was obsessed! The coconut jelly added a fun, chewy texture that made it even better. Service was quick, staff was friendly, and the drinks were made fresh. Definitely adding this to our regular Ala Moana routine. Can't wait to go back and try more!

    Takeout beverages only... in Honolulu Hawaii... Located on the ground level of Ala Moana Center is a Hot New Business called GangnamCha. It's situated between Yoajung and Poke & Box on the Makai (ocean) side of the mall. Service is efficient and friendly! I think their system flows well and is convenient because the window on the right is for ordering. The window on the left is for pick-up. Covered, shared parking is free and right in front of the shop. I appreciate it! I got the Lychee refresher with chewy coconut jelly. It was like a light, refreshing Lychee soda because of the carbonation. I also got the Mango iced tea. I liked the fruity flavor! It came with yummy coconut jelly! I'm ready to return and try the yogurt drinks!

    Mango Rice Yogurt
    Jessica S.

    A new boba place! In Ala Moana as well, taking over the spot of the late Yomie's Rice x Yogurt location. Cannot wait to check it out as this is right in my neighborhood instead of having to venture out all the wait to Kaimuki for purple rice yogurts! It's located in the back of the Makai Market where Curry House resides on Ala Moana Blvd side. There's free garage parking with ample stalls but could be very busy during rush hours and weekends. This shop is a takeout only shop with no sit down tables and chairs. They only had one size and one price which was a big 24oz cup. I got their Mango Rice Yogurt and had asked for it less sweet. It was definitely on the tartier side after asking for less sweet (my mistake there) but still very good. The purple rice was delicious - it was sweet, which helped with the tartness, and reminded me of in azuki red bean paste but still with a bite. This consistency is the perfect consistency that I loved in my drinks! The only small complaint I had was how the yogurt drink was created. It was blended, creating a slushy rather than a yogurt liquid drink. It was a bit too icy, and the mango flavor was hidden. However, once the drink melted, it tasted very good! Definitely will be back for more in the future! I would love to try their milk teas as well!

    One of the best hole in the walls at Ala Moana. It is located on the bottom floor of Ala Moana near/next to the poke box. The outside of the store front is clean, simple, and cute! When my mom and I arrived, we could see the menu as well as the most popular drinks. I can honestly say that helped me make my decision when ordering my drink. When ready, the register man was super friendly and took our order right away. The staff were fast making our drinks. I swear it took less than 5 minutes. We ordered: Mango Purple Rice Yogurt- 10/10. The mango was blended so smoothly and the purple rice was soft. A great combo! Taro Smoothie with Pudding- 100/10. It was by far one of my mom's favorite. The taro smoothie was creamy and had a strong taro flavor. The pudding was soft and added just a touch of sweetness to the overall drink. *Plus, there is only one size for all drinks- I can't complain it was worth the price* If you're ever at Ala Moana and want to try a new drink place, this is where you should visit :)

    Nice Cha meet you... Congratulations on your first day (May 3rd) as I almost passed right by their quiet opening...literally. GangnamCha has taken over Yomie's spot right outside of Makai Market Food Court in fact their wall mount sign is still there but here they are woohoo! Offering some fresh sips ready for summer though they didn't have much of the fresh fruit teas that usually my preference though did have some Sparkling Water items sounds very refreshing. I decided on the Strawberry Rice Yogurt and let me tell you at $5.95 it was a huge cup that I really didn't expect and the gentleman is very humble and kind as he asked what I liked and my usual drink, you order at one window and pick up at the other...easy system. The drink was nice not too sweet and was very nice and refreshing on this hot day and can see that this will be a great option especially being right across from the beach and mall shopping is a great relief that's very much needed. Thank you!

    Classic Milk Tea with Boba
    Rachael K.

    I got to try GangnamCha in Ala Moana Shopping Center, by Makai Food Court the other day. The service is exceptional their offerings are solid. This location is new, and consequently very clean. Grab-and-go! I ordered the classic milk tea with boba, at half sweetness. The drink had a good tea flavor, the sweetness was perfect for me and the boba texture was satisfying. The boba is smaller than at other locations, but good nonetheless. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I would frequent for the customer service alone. Check out GangnamCha!

    Eunice K.

    I am always on the hunt for some bubble tea and different flavors. My recent obsession has been mango sago and lo and behold - Gangnamcha was advertised to me on my social media. We went today to try it and it did not disappoint! The mango sago was yummy, sweet, and super refreshing. The shop is a little tucked away next to curry house and yoajung. The person who took my order was sweet and prompt. The location is a little hidden, but the drink was worth the search. Will be back!

    Nalu Health Bar & Café is such a solid spot, especially if you're looking for something fresh,…read morequick, and actually satisfying. Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

    This fresh food shop in Oahu is absolutely fantastic and has been one of the highlights of my trip!…read moreThe customer service is truly exceptional. The wonderful Hawaiian ladies who run the shop are incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. Their aloha spirit shines through in every interaction, and they make you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. The smoothies are some of the freshest and most authentic I've ever tasted. Everything tastes natural, wholesome, and made with high-quality organic ingredients. My favorites are the guava and strawberry smoothies, which are bursting with fresh fruit flavor and perfectly refreshing without tasting overly sweet or artificial. The biggest compliment I can give is that during my one-week vacation in Hawaii, I've already come back three times! That's how good this place is. When you find food this fresh, service this friendly, and an atmosphere this welcoming, you can't help but keep coming back. If you're looking for authentic, healthy, delicious food and drinks in Oahu, do yourself a favor and stop by. This place is an absolute gem and deserves every one of its five stars. Highly recommend!

    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.

    My favorite spot. I get the mango sticky rice dessert or the mango sticky rice drink (man-coco…read moresticky smoothie-o) . If i'm on the go the drink, if I eat there then the dessert. They will do takeout on the dessert, however it does not travel well. The ice cream melts, the frozen coconut cream thing melts and it becomes a big mess. They have an app and a loyalty program - use it and you can get some free stuff. The timing in the app isn't always right because sometimes it says ready in 20 minutes but it's in 5 and sometimes it's in like 30. I don't think they adjust the timing to reflect how busy they are inside; I wish they did. Small spot to sit down and eat there if you want and some outdoor tables. However the outdoor tables are considered takeout, so if you order desserts, it won't come on the plates, it will be boxed, and sometimes a mess when the ice cream parts melt and make the paper soggy. No bathrooms inside. They are friendly enough but they often feel like they don't really want to be there but they're cordial enough. I will keep coming back for the dessert anyway! They say they close at 9pm but they don't. The told me 8:45pm and if you come at 8:55pm they're basically shut down. Not a fan of this because if you really close at 8:45pm, then change your hours. Otherwise actually stay open til 9pm, which does mean workers have to stay later. In any case, I'm not a fan when there's this mismatch. On the other hand. The Alley says they're open til 9pm, and if you're at the door at 9pm, they'll let you in.
