The menu is fairly small, but you won't forget their signature black sugar boba as it's a consistent topping for at least half their drinks! I got the black sugar boba green tea latte with cream mousse, half sweet. It had a nice, strong green tea taste, and the black sugar boba was sweet enough to the taste without being overpowering. Mixed with the creamy, milky mousse and it was a very refreshing milky drink. A pretty good and familiar option if you're looking for something to fix your boba craving in the area. Worth checking out!

I think we liked the drinks because you could taste the tea but it was still sweet. Not too sweet as you can adjust the sweetness as well.

A cute little shop located in the middle of Kapahulu. May the parking gods be in your favor. I've…read morehad luck with parking on Date Street which is less than a 5 min of a walk from the shop. When arriving, there are many cozy chairs inside, with a collection of board games to choose from. I noticed that UberEats type of delivery service were picking up orders consistently throughout our time here. We ordered the Strawberry Panna Cotta, thinking that it was a parfait dessert or served on a plate. Though when the gentleman taking our order asked for the sweetness level, we knew it must've been a drink. And it did not disappoint! I've never had anything like this before. It was the perfect blend of strawberry on top, not too sweet, not too sour and the panna cotta smooths it all out from the bottom up through your straw. The gentleman working there was very friendly, very kind, answered all our questions. One being that they do not serve food/desserts here anymore because of the shelf-life and unpredictability of people ordering these items, I get it. He truly seems to love his job and it shows. Walking each order out to everyone, whether they're waiting inside or outside the shop, he's hustling, not sauntering around. And in between, he's straightening the stuffed animals on the couches, so that they look presentable. It's the little things that count, and I appreciate that. Nevertheless, we will definitely be back to try other flavors!

The texture is honestly the star here, and it makes the drink feel way more satisfying than your typical milk tea. We ordered the jujube drink and the mango drink. I personally liked the jujube one more, but my girlfriend preferred the mango. Both were really good, plenty sweet, and the purple rice had such a great chew that I didn't even feel like I needed boba or any extra toppings. Inside is super cute too. I feel like if they had board games or something it would be such a fun hangout spot. Staff was friendly and we got our drinks pretty quick. One thing to note: the rice is really filling. I genuinely felt like I ate a meal after finishing a drink. Would definitely come back.

I went through a handful of drinks before I found my favorites, Thai tea with regular boba and passion dragonfruit tea. They might put large slices of fruit but you can always ask to opt out. Only downside is that they don't have alternative milks but even with me being lactose intolerant, the milk teas don't affect me as bad as other places. The place is also super cute with their cow mascot and all their cute art. Plus you can take a selfie at their cute flower wall with accessories available.

Visited GangnamCha at Ala Moana to try their fruit drinks and desserts. This spot is a walk-up…read morecounter only with no seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go situation rather than a place to hang out. I ordered the mango sago, which was honestly underwhelming. The mango flavor tasted either artificial or extremely diluted. The color was very pale--I could barely see that signature yellow/orange mango hue--and the mango flavor itself was almost nonexistent. The coconut base and sago pearls were fine and pretty standard, but nothing memorable or exciting enough to make me want to order it again. My husband got the fresh watermelon smoothie. You could tell the watermelon itself was fresh, which we appreciated, but the drink was very watered down due to too much ice. After just one gulp, it felt like it turned into mostly ice with very little juice left. He did like that it came standard with coconut jelly, which added a nice texture and sweetness. Overall, the drinks were okay but lacked strong, fresh fruit flavor, especially for the price and expectations. If they reduced the ice and intensified the fruit base, these drinks could be much better. Probably wouldn't rush back, but could be a quick stop if you're already at Ala Moana and craving something light and cold.

Just enought sweetness and Lynchee flavor. I saw on their door window that you can get 20 mins free parking while at shop. Mostly meter parking along there.

It was made to order fresh and so tasty. They have a stamp card program. The staff here is super friendly and hospitable. Cute ambiance inside with seating inside and out.

They're apparently not answering their phone tonight, so I guess I'll have to give them and their customers a heads up through this review.

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.

Decent food but poor service…read more Nalu Health Bar & cafe is located in the south shore market at Ward on the ground floor. Seating is limited so it may be difficult to find seating especially during high traffic meal times. May have better luck finding seating outside. I've been here multiple times for lunch and had multiple different items. The acai bowl are good. I like getting the Nalu salad which is always a decent serving and tastes fresh. The sandwiches are also pretty tasty. My main issue is the service. I'm not sure if part of their training is to ignore the customer as much as possible because that has been my experience on multiple occasions. The most recent visit, I had ordered online and was going to pick up m food for takeout. There were three workers at the front just talking. I walked to the counter and was ignored. I could see where the orders are placed and didn't see anything there so figured my order wasn't ready yet. I stood on the side for at least 5 minutes without any greeting or acknowledgement. Not a single person made eye contact with me. When I saw an order placed on the back counter one of them grabbed it and placed it on the takeout counter without calling out the name and went back to chatting. I had to actively try to get their attention at which point I was looked at like I was bothering them. Asked if my order was ready and was handed it without any further interaction. I don't expect happy go lucky people and conversation but at least basic customer service.
