    Avocado Banana Smoothie, Honeydew Smoothie,  Honey Jasmine Tea with Coffee Jelly
    Rufhiline T.

    Stopped by for something refreshing after arriving in Maui. We were so surprised that they have so many drink options! 10/10 would recommend because they have something for every palette! The employees were super nice and answered our questions and our drinks came out super fast within five minutes! Casual milk tea place with food court seating area!

    Cashier was very nice when taking our order. She and another worker quickly made our drinks (matcha milk tea and taro coconut milk tea). Both drinks were very good! I preferred the taro coconut milk tea over the matcha. The taro coconut milk tea is pretty sweet, but that's how like it! The boba was very soft and tender, definitely the best I've had.

    quick, yummy Boba option! I love coming here for a refreshing drink while i'm shopping or just in the area :)

    Unfortunately, Maui doesn't have many choices when it comes to bubble tea locations. This is the third time we've had drinks here and this last time was a huge disappointment. Hokulani ordered the taro coconut "smoothie" with boba. Ummm...shouldn't it have been blended?!? It was extremely watery and tasted like terrible quality minimal powder. She took a few sips and said that she was done. I told her not to waste and she told me to take a sip. Yikes! Honestly, one of the worst "boba drinks" that I have personally tasted. I really hope Maui starts to get more and BETTER boba places soon.

    I was craving a milk tea. Last one I had as on Oahu at Hana tea (yumm). I went to Made in Hope but they were closed. Bale doesn't have very good boba either (can tell it's instant kine). So, I came here. The staff was nice enough. Got my drink fast. But for $5.xx, it's a waste of my limited liquid intake: Watery, not creamy, devoid of sufficient flavor milk tea. I'm sad.

    Order was wrong, I repeated myself 3 times and still got it wrong. I asked for mango jelly but instead they gave passion fruit jelly and that was for 2 of my drinks. Looking the photo, why does my honeydew banana has sugar in the bottom of the cup. I don't think it's supposed to be like that.

    I love myself some boba. Stopped by the Queen Kaahumanu shopping ctr food court to get some and it didn't disappoint. They make their boba pearls fresh daily and the flavors of the smoothies were legit true to their fruit sources. Passion fruit was sweet and tart and the honeydew smoothie was just the right amount of sweetness. Solid boba experience, I would definitely stop by again.

    Located inside the mall -- upstairs on the second floor in the food court. Drive around the mall until you see a Starbucks, that is the closest entrance that will lead you straight up to the food court. They have a lot of good flavors on the menu. I ordered the Jasmine Lychee Tea and my hubby ordered the Taro Coconut Milk Tea -- both drinks were pretty close to how the drinks are made at home (San Jose). In San Jose, we are boba snobs so we know good boba when we have it. This place has my vote on Maui. I've tried other places on the island and none can even begin competing with HiTea.

    For a cafeteria boba place, they have the best, authentic flavor boba tea! I am super impressed, I love it so much that I came 4x the whole 5 days I was in Maui! Yes!! I highly recommend their jasmine honey tea with boba, super fragrant and right amount of sweet. I also tried their spicy ahi tuna poke, it's just OK, pretty spicy too! Located in second floor, turn left, cafeteria area. They take card!

    This is my daughter's favorite place for boba drinks. It's located in the second floor of Kaahumanu Center and seems to be popular with the younger crowd. My honeydew had ample boba, but tasted a little light on the flavoring. They may have been busy, but I wanted my boba drink to me on the colder side on a hot day. Overall, the service was okay. Although they accept Apple Pay, I didn't notice any sign or logo. Lots of people ahead of me were pulling out their credit cards.

    I gotta give it up to my Yelp buddy - Vince N. (aka Vikendios), as he knows da good kine grindz places! I was checking up on my Yelp friends when I noticed that Vince had posted some awesome pics of the bentos from HiTea! Quickly I booked marked this place, and the next time I had a chance to eat lunch while I was running around on Maui..........I made sure I had to check out this place called - HiTea. HiTea??? Doesn't that sound like one of them bubble tea kinda joints??? Why yes it is! If you're into that kinda thing, this place serves all type of them drinks. As for me...........I'm not into those kinda drinks, but if you sell yummy looking cheap bentos, sign me up bro! I'll will be there!!!! Where is HiTea located? If you ever get a chance to visit the Queen Ka'ahumanu Shopping Center, take the escalator up to the 2nd floor to the food court area, that is where you till find HiTea. I came by HiTea around 3:00 PM for a very late lunch this past week, and I had to cross my fingers in high hopes to see if I could score a bento! Lucky for me, the bento gods were looking out for me, as I not only scored a bento...............but I also got a discount on my bento too! Woo Hoo! Upon looking over the pre-made bentos, I decided to get a Garlic Chicken Roll bento ($7.25). What did I get in my bento? Well I got a huge Garlic Chicken Roll, with some pieces of breaded chicken that came with a packet of teri sauce. With my bento, I also got a small serving of veggies, & a little "jin dui" or mochi ball for dessert. Since I came here so late for lunch, I guess they had started to mark down their bentos, so I was lucky enough to get a 25% discount. Lucky yeah? What can I say about the bento? I would say............for what I paid, and what I got, it was a pretty good deal! Not only was the bento reasonably priced, but the food was actually not bad at all! Service - The people working at HiTea was friendly, as they greeted me when I walked up to their ordering counter. They processed my transaction quickly, so I was able to get out of there & eat right away. Parking - Since HiTea is located inside the Queen Ka'ahumanu Shopping Center Food Court, no need to worry about fighting for parking, as this shopping mall has tons of parking. Looking for a quick meal? Why not drop by HiTea for a drink, and a ono bento!

    Hawaii's first Hi Tea location has moved spots in the Queen Kaahumanu Center Queen's Market Food Court, taking over the space vacated by McDonald's with a complete renovation. Their previous spot was formerly occupied by long-gone Bautista's Filipino Kitchen and the sorely missed Edo Japan, with a kitchen set up that probably didn't work for them as they serve mainly boba drinks and smoothies. But, they now serve bento lunches which prompts this updated review. I actually spotted food pics on Hi Tea's Ala Moana Yelp page. Excited, I jumped on the QKC location's page in which someone mentioned "bentos" in their review. Curious, I zoomed on in. As I approached the counter, it was lined with mixed bentos of all kinds and combinations - gyoza, musubi, yakisoba, garlic chicken, shrimp and teriyaki chicken, served only during the lunch hour. They looked similar to the ones at TJ's in Wailuku so I had to ask. Turns out they make all of their bentos in-house! Nice! Their Ala Moana location serves made-to-order foods, not bento plates. FOOD: Pork Yakisoba - $5.95 The portion size was very good for the price and definitely filled up my piggy belly. The noodles were subtly flavored but the slices of tender pork made up for it with bold & savory flavors, eliminating the need for shoyu. The only downfall were the stir fried onions which were too undercooked to my liking and very pungent. SERVICE: I was immediately greeted by a smiley and friendly gal. She took the time to explain their bento selections and that they're made in-house. OVERALL: I'm totally stoked that they're now serving food as it thankfully adds to the mall's limited selections.

    First time here and hopefully I can come back on my next Maui visit! They're located at Queen Ka'ahumanu Shopping center on the second floor. They have a variety boba as well as smoothies! I tried the mango papaya and it was so refreshing! My boyfriend had the plantation iced tea and he wasn't a fan of it (he said it wasn't as sweet) but i didn't think it was too bad. Workers were pleasant and fast to make our drinks. Can't wait to try their other flavors!

They've been part of the island's food scene for over 12 years now, and I still remember their off-the-beaten-path spot on Hobron Avenue in Kahului. You would have never guessed there was delicious food being served up there, but those who knew, knew. These days, you can find them in Kahului parked at Da Tambayan Corner on Lono Avenue, or sometimes popping up out at Ho'okipa. Now, full disclosure -- I don't eat raw fish, so I can't personally vouch for their poke bowls, but that's what they're known for and I've had a number of friends and family enjoy it. What I can vouch for, though, is their fried poke -- perfectly seasoned ahi cubes, floured and fried, served over rice and lettuce, and drizzled with a creamy mayo aioli. Get it hurricane style for extra sauce and furikake seasoning -- it's delicious and gives it an extra boost as once in a while it's on the drier side. Another favorite is the poke bake, which is just as satisfying and generously portioned. Started getting this recently and it hits the spot. Highly recommend either dish, especially if you're like me and prefer your fish cooked. And whatever you do, don't skip the furikake fries -- curly fries topped with aioli and furikake. SO good. Beyond the great food, my team has worked with Like Poke for company events, and they're always a hit. Friendly service and consistent quality eats that keep people coming back -- they're a favorite among locals for a reason.

Our group ordered a little bit of everything - all with garlic noodles as the side since it seemed to very popular based on the reviews. We went with the mochiko chicken (animal style), spicy ahi poke, and pork belly. Mochicko chicken was good, but some pieces were cold and fatty which wasn't very pleasant. The animal style sauce was really tasty, and didn't overpower the chicken, it complimented the plate well! The noodles weren't very garlicky at all, definitely felt it was lacking flavor. Poke was good, but the pieces of fish were in pretty large chunks. Lastly, the pork belly was just okay. As a local, I think this place is a good introduction for tourists to get a taste of local flavors. But definitely hit up some other local spots even Zippy's for comparison. Maybe I just went on a off day. To end off on a positive note they do offer a few vegetarian and vegan options!

For seafood we got the Ahi katsu salad (we had to be somewhat healthy lol) it was nice and crispy on the outside. Sauces complemented the juicy flavorful dish so well. I never had papaya seed dressing before until today and I ended up buying my own at Safeway! Sweet, tangy, refreshing paired well with the fish. Hurricane mochi chicken was juicy on the outside and the crispy skin was coated with Hurricane sauce (Teri aioli sauce) so good my nephew bought a bottle to take home. Overall the food was amazing. Server checked on us several times, offering to go plates if you need them ( we didn't need it, we had a proper "mopsesh" ) Disclaimer: They serve their food on paper plates, trust me the food taste better on these plates.

    The best wine selection I've found on the island! Worldwide diversity and reasonable island…read morepricing. I loved the local fish ahi poke (other fish poke may not be local fish), I choose the wasabi masago, and it was the best poke I've eaten! The kimchee cucumber was also delicious! To top it off my favorite local popcorn, Samurai furikaki with Arare was in stock!

    tuna poke (prices vary by fish & weight) - their poke…read moreselections only include tuna and they really perfected their tuna game - id go to foodland for salmon but tamura's for tuna - the texture of the tuna was insane oml after one bite you could already immediately tell this is a game changer - so fresh, it was incredibly chewy, firm, and springy; each bite was so tender and the fish is far from mushy and soft - we got two different flavors, one is spicy mayo and the other is a typical shoyu type poke; the spicy mayo was lacking a kick to it and tasted a bit plain; it needed some brightening flavors because we got bored of it immediately; the texture of it was also not as good as the shoyu one - shoyu was my fav and it's a flavor id never get sick of AND the texture for this was impeccable; i didn't know i could be obsessed with tuna until i tried this - the knife work could be better too; i bit on this long piece of sinew that i had to spit out halfway because it was difficult to chew through rating: 4.9/5 - literally near perfection, almost comparable to foodland! Minus 0.1 because of the mayo sauce that didnt really hit plus the knife work but everything else exceeded my expectations and changed my mind about tuna INDEFINITELY - located inside a liquor store which i thought was pretty quirky and the parking lot is quite empty too; it's giving ratchet vibes but hidden gem - quick service - i like that they mostly serve fresh tuna only and not that many previously frozen ones because foodland has many previously frozen selections IG: @nom.noms.only
