    Mac Nut chocolate covered banana & Dole Whip
    Brenda S.

    Cutest little shack right in the lagoon of Aulani! has different dole whip options and other treats! They decorate some dole whips with Moana, stitch, Mickey or Minnie. Soooo cute! Since it was considered fast food service the food was out right away after we got rung up! Perfect snack place!

    So good! This little treat shack right on the beach was such a fun find. They offer a variety of ice cream, frozen treats, and Dole Whips! We walked up to the window and were quickly handed the ice cream sandwich we ordered, while the Dole Whip took just a few extra minutes. It came in a chocolate-dipped cone with Mickey-shaped sprinkles, a tiny umbrella, and a Stitch-shaped chocolate chunk, such a cute touch! You can order it plain in a cup, but we opted for the fancier version (with your choice of character) for $11, and it was totally worth it. The price was fair, the service was great, and our little ones loved the special details like the Mickey sprinkles. It was plenty to share between the family. Next time, I'm definitely trying the chocolate dipped frozen pineapple or banana!

    I won't tell you how many times I hit up this snack shack while I was there. Too embarrassing. It is so easy to grab something while you're hanging out on the beach and the dole whip was absolutely perfect. Quick service and the menu is limited so what they do sell they do really well and they get out quick. We rented out one of the loungers on our beach days and enjoying our dole whip while lounging under the canopy - divine!

    After returning from our Secret Beach quest we were ready to quench our thirst. I'd read about Aulani Disney resort serving the infamous Dole Whip by the lagoon. So when we approached both my daughter and I knew we each wanted one. Hubby passed. We read the menu board posted at the kiosk. You can request a character one like Stitch. We passed on that. We both had the Dole Whip swirl in a cup - pineapple and watermelon combo. Served in a 16 oz plastic cup. So refreshing. I could have had one every day but flew home the next day.

    Dole Whip Heaven! A MUST when staying at Aulani! We got the $11 dole whip with the white chocolate art of stitch and a really cool waffle cone that's dipped in chocolate with mouse ear confetti candy. You get a choice of Minnie, Mickey, Stitch and Moana as the white chocolate piece. The cool part of this dole whip place is that they offer pineapple and watermelon twist while the Ulu Cafe has vanilla and pineapple twist only. Great to share the 1 dole whip with others too!

    Mickey ice cream sandwich
    Katie J.

    I stopped by here a couple of times and it was pretty good and tasty. I got the watermelon dole whip and it was pleasant and good. I got the Mickey ice cream sandwich and it was better than I thought. It was satisfying and nice to eat on a hot day. The people running the stand were nice. I recommend getting something from here.

    Haiku: Little 'Opihi's Enjoy a sweet treat Get your Dole Whip here Heaven in a cup. --- Located where Aulani meets the Ko Olina beach boardwalk, this shack features frozen treats and drinks and is ideal for beach goers. You can order basic Dole Whip soft serve and cute character ones like Mickey, Moana, and Stitch. They also have mini-waffle bowls. The texture of the Dole Whip is consistent (when freshly served, it holds its texture, not runny). Just devour them because they melt quickly under the warm sun.

    Such a nice treat when out for a swim or enjoying the sand. You don't have to be a guest to purchase from this food establishment that is apart of Disney Aulani. Such a great variety to choose from. We like to walk over from four seasons to get a scoop of Disney Magic. Love that we can get some dole whip or some boba! The treats come out quick & we're back on our way to the other resort!

    How cute is this!! Little Opihi's is a snack and dessert shack along the walkway between the beach and the pool area at Disney Aulani. They have great fruit, dessert, and ice cream options for kids and adults. My daughter loves Stitch and had to get a stitch theme ice cream. The line wasn't long at all. We were serviced right away and the ice cream came out larger than the picture. They put the ice cream into a paper bowl to capture the ice cream dripping - very smart! We ordered a watermelon ice cream that came with chucks of watermelon at the bottom of the soft serve. It was all delicious and the presentation was cute!

    Pineapple and watermelon swirl float
    Amanda W.

    There was no line at the order window, and I can't imagine why. The two women inside were friendly and helpful. Keep in mind that the location is card or room charge only and does not accept cash. The dole whip float was delicious and refreshing. The perfect treat off the mainland!

    Little 'Opihi's is a beachside stand perfectly located between the Ko Olina Lagoon and the pools at Aulani. They serve dole whip, ice cream, fruit and beverages. But my favorite thing they serve is the Disney themed Dole Whips. I got the Moana and Stitch Dole Whip fresh fruit sundaes. They were bigger than I was expecting so it was plenty for a family of 5. Moana is pineapple flavor and is stuffed with fresh pineapple. Stitch is watermelon flavored and stuffed with fresh watermelon. Out of the two Moana was my favorite.

    Minnie Mouse sundae and Stitch sundae

    The sign says open 11 AM - 5 PM but they didn't open until around 11:30 AM when I went. I'm not sure if that's a usual occurrence or if something happened. The dole whip is is great though I recommend getting the stitch or Moana sundaes. The watermelon dole whip also comes with super sweet watermelon pieces inside and it's very refreshing on a hot day. The watermelon dole whip was creamy and incredible. It beats the dole whip at Disneyland for sure. The extra dollars instead of the regular dole are worth it.

    Wanted Dole Whip. Found Dole Whip. Enjoyed Dole Whip with a nice beach front at the Disney Resort. Service quick and sweet with an attention to detail (the toppings that make the characters come to life and hard to eat). Fun experience and not too expensive for what they charge at the theme park

    Good solid experience with nice food and nice ambiance and decent service…read more Caesar salad was good and fresh 9/10. Siamin was maybe my favorite dish, smokey the noodles extra al dente and the pork was flavorful 9.5/10. Pesto Gnocchi was pillowy and soft and the pesto sauce was light and flavorful and was one of the few vegetarian options. I would get again 8/10. Side of broccoli was spicy and zesty 9/10. Cocktails were also very nice way to start. It's a tradition to always hit the minkeypod when in hawaii and will continue. Don't forget the pies!

Majority of the appetizers we got were good. - truffle fries..well...their truffle fries and cant really go wrong - taro dumplings (i forgot if thats what we got but they were good but not blown away either) - corn chowder was good - brisket pesto pizza? (Im overdue with the review so forgot what pizza it exactly was) but i remember this was good. It was in the happy hour menu is all i can remember. - wings but unsure about the goat cheese dip. I prefer plain ranch - the kids pasta was good. Well, one kiddo loved it while the other didn't. So it depends on preferences on this one. I will say i did taste it and it was meh... - another kiddo got the shoyu noodles and its plain. So if you got a simple palate plain jane child, they will like this one. For drinks, it depends on taste and preferences. I was bummed on this one. Mainly looking fwd to the drinks and it didn't satisfy my tastebuds. It was too twisted, fusion, modified etc. i prefer a mai tai a plain old fashioned mai tai without the fixings. The orange foam was too strong it overwhelmed the dark rum im used to and prefer. So i decided to try the ube rey instead which was much better but still not as much to my liking/preferences. Went back to Aulani a but bummed and decided to get another at Aulani the next day instead and I will say, i liked it better as it followed the more traditional way of making it. So if you prefer traditional ways, this may not be for you and if planning to drink, simply keep with the simplier generic drinks, wine or beer. If you prefer to try different ways and flavors, then you will love this. Service was great and our server was attentive at all times. Thank you. Ambiance was good but outdoor seating may be a bit of a nuance due to flies swarming around you often. The swinging table fan helps but are still annoying plus the tropical heat also didn't help.

The spicy ahi and crunchy garlic ahi are especially popular, and the mochiko chicken gets a lot of love too. We did like the mochiko chicken a lot!

The Pork Ribs were actually the closest to previous pictured plates - tasted like "salt and vinegar" instead of "salt and pepper" - still skimpy (little meat covering huge bone inside)! Their "garlic noodles" had so much garlic that I'm sure that Vampires and Draculas will stay away from me for a week. The rice tasted like "day-old refrigerated" rice which was microwaved.
