Sooo expensive and so hot inside Also so overpriced It was like $8 for a medium cup I asked for a strawberry green tea and received a weird colored milky strawberry drink Tasted like bubblegum I couldn't even finish the whole thing read more

I came across this place while walking around near the hotel. The word "boba" caught my attention because I haven't had any since vacation starts. The first time I stopped by it was closed and so I came back the next day around noon. Once I walked in it's a small place. Looking at the wall to your left you'll see jams for sales. There's lots of flavor I wish I could bring back home but my luggage is so full. I came here for my boba fix so I'm doing just that. You can order and pay from the iPad. I saw other customers order spam musubi here and you can add toppings to it too. Of course milk tea here can't compare to the one back home in LA but I really wanted one. Lots of milk and not much on the tea. I would suggest checking out spam musubi and jams here if you're nearby. read more

Musubi Boba - Milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Skip the musubi lines elsewhere and check out this local cafe! This cafe is not on Google maps yet. We had just been to Waikiki beach and were walking around the area looking for a good local takeout place. We only wandered a few blocks from the park when we found this cafe tucked away in a corner. Their extensive food and drink menu has everything from boba, smoothies, musubi, noodles, and more. Reasonable prices too. It seems that everything is made to order, so be prepared to wait a bit for the food. We tried their egg spam musubi, cheese spam musubi, and cucumber spam musubi and all were SO delicious- definitely worth the wait. Musubi Boba also sells homemade & local fruit jams in 7oz containers, with a large variety of flavors. The store owner was extremely nice and friendly, and we had a great conversation as well. Highly recommend checking out this place if you're looking for some delicious local food! read more

I'm disappointed at how the price of this milk tea vs the size that I got! And it was strange that they also added ice into their milk tea. The boba was overcooked, very chewy. The lady was very nice. The ambiance was cute. read more

Over priced and small. Boba had no taste. No customer service not even a hello when you're ordering. Place is a small business. read more

Musubi Boba - 2. Strawberry Smoothie - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

The place when you walk in is an oven. Absolutely no greeting from the woman behind the counter. She looked like she just woke up from a nap. The Thai teas was decent tasting but it was room temperature with only a few iced cubes. I had to ask for ice on the side to make the drink cold. Would not recommend. read more

My friend and I were walking around Waikiki and had a boba craving. The closest place Yelp took us was this place. I was disappointed to find out that they specialize more on smoothies and blended drinks rather than milk teas. I was actually craving for some milk tea with boba or even fruit tea, but instead they recommended their fruit smoothies. My friend got their Papaya Smoothie with boba, and I got their Mango Smoothie with boba and jelly that came standard (no extra charge for the jellies) with the drink. There was one lady at the store who was very friendly and talkative who made the recommendations. We were so immersed in our conversation that I forgot to request to adjust their sugar level. The drinks came out too sweet! If it wasn't for the lovely and friendly service, I probably would give this place 2-star because I couldn't take a second sip of their drink. It was cloyingly sweet! My drink went to waste as a result. My friend liked her papaya smoothie, but she said, it was also way too sweet, but not as sweet as my drink. So, she finished half of hers. I would still recommend this place, but if you're like me that's not into overly sweetened drinks, be sure to adjust their sweetness level. read more

Musubi Boba - Mango Smoothie with Boba Papaya Smoothie with jelly....so sweet! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My daughter wanted boba and I knew this place across from where we live. We had never tried it and thought we'd give it a chance since it was so close. Walked in and the place had a strange aroma to it. Almost like a Chinese medicine shop. The guy behind the counter greeted us and we took our time to look over the menu. We settled on 3 boba drinks, a classic milk tea with boba, a mango tea with boba, and a Thai tea with boba. All the drinks were pre-made in a container that he pulled out from the fridge. One by one the drinks were being poured and served. They didn't look anything like the photos. They were in a plain clear plastic cup with a pop on lid. No big deal as long as it taste good right? Well none of the drinks were very good. Worst of all, my daughter's drink, who was the one who really wanted the boba drink, had a huge solid chunk of ice in it. We couldn't even insert the straw in the drink. We took our drinks and left. Before we could even walk past the business, my daughter's drink was gone. She had taken a few sips and it was all ice!!! I went right back in and showed him the drink he had served us and all he could say was, oh would you like another one? I said no and wanted a refund on her drink. Also, they have a sign that said 15% off for Kama'aina. We said oh they have Kama'aina the minute we walked in and saw the sign. I mentioned it to him as he rang up the total. When he handed me his phone for the credit card authorization, there was no discount given. I said it again that we were Kama'aina and showed him my ID again and he gave us back only 10% back. I took the two bucks and left. Then came back for the refund and he only refunded me another $5 for a total of $7. I didn't want to waste any more time and frustration with him and took my $7 and left. Basically, no discount given at this point. Ended up going down the street and bought her a huge boba drink with a happy hour discount for the $7 and still had change leftover. Will never come back! Terrible business! Wish it could have been a better experience. read more

Musubi Boba - Maybe 3 sips and it's gone with a huge chunk of ice and all the boba sitting on top of the ice. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Today we got some milk tea boba, taro boba , Thai tea boba , spring rolls and chicken fried rice. Local place , food made fresh on the spot, tastes amazing , great service. read more

I really wanted to give this place a better review, but the boba just really ain't it. The milk tea was pre made so you can't adjust the sugar level. The boba was hard. I personally think that if you're selling boba tea and the tapioca is hard, that just means you haven't figured it out. It may have just been that the boba has been lying around for hours since there wasn't that much foot traffic there. Didn't try the musubi, but from the other reviews they say it's good. read more

Excited to try their boba tea, however the person working didn't know how to answer my questions. She was nice and tried but it was too many things off to enjoy our experience. I asked if the milk tea was made with dairy milk or non-dairy creamer. She didn't give me a definite answer. She offered us shaved ice. I decided not to order and our kids opted for shaved ice. She had a hard time understanding what flavors we wanted. She was the only one working and it quickly got busy. There was no air conditioning in that tiny spot. By the time she got to making our 2nd order, our first shaved ice was almost melted. read more

A bit of a rip off. Probably because of their prime location. Smoothies are 9.95 (?!!!) and not impressive. Bobas are made with powders and milk so not sure why they cost 7.95 for something basic. Nothing fancy either. Won't return. read more

Amazing! If you want food made right this is your place! It may take a second because it's all made to order but man is it worth it! The kimchi's ramen is amazing to eat in. read more

This is by far the worse boba tea place we've tried. We ordered the Lychee Green tea and Passion fruit boba. I am not exaggerating when I say horrible. I spit the drink out. What a waste of money. It was also very pricey for boba tea. read more

Overpriced powder milk tea with very old boba. Waste of money and only took like 2 sips.

They got got good boba tea and some premium homemade jelly. Cozy vibe. Go here the owner is nice.

When we came here we ordered boba tea. The boba was soggy - kind of falling apart in your mouth, if that makes sense. The taste was okay but had less flavor and more sugar. You can't adjust the sweetness level. Maybe the smoothies are better. read more

tiny little cute bussines delish musubi galore and frrsh bobba support this place pirate ninja approves

The milk tea and boba was bad. It was also pretty expensive and overall not worth it.

I was just craving spam musubi and this nice old man made them fresh. Not sure about their boba tho

Check this place out, great boba tea and very nice owner, I would definitely recommend it.
