I didn't have to wait long since it wasn't crowded. If I was hungry, I would've picked up a pastry. The staff working were efficient, but not overly friendly. But that iced latte was the pick me up I needed. If you're in the area shopping, this is definitely a great place to stop by. Mahalo L'Ami!

SERVICE: fast, two girls making drinks n' one taking orders INTERIOR: n/a EXTERIOR: pop-up event at the Waikīkī Aquarium on May 23rd WAIT TIME: received drinks in 5 mins after placing order PARKING: metered street OVERALL COMMENTS: came for the May Specials, Strawberry Guava Matcha n' Salted Caramel Cookie Coffee, but unfortunately they did not have it at this pop-up so I was a lil' heartbroken. Luckily, I was able to get the most similar drinks to them. First off, presentation was perfection n' their aesthetic is so cute. The Salted Maple Coffee had a nice hint of salty n' sweet n' went very well with the coffee. I really liked the fresh strawberry puree in the Strawberry Matcha. Was hoping for more of a matcha-y taste throughout the drink. I believe they mentioned in an IG story that they will be sourcing a new matcha soon, so I am eager to see if that will enhance their matcha drinks to be the best it can be. Will have to try it out once it becomes available!

You really get that warm, spiced cookie butter flavor in every sip--dessert in drink form The texture was smooth and satisfying, and everything tasted well-balanced, not artificial or heavy. This is the kind of drink you treat yourself to when you want something cozy and decadent. If you're a cookie butter fan, this is a must-order. I'd come back just for this drink alone.

I'm pretty sure I was there when the Yelper Melanie C was there with I'm assuming her other half…read moreand their daughter. Melanie was waiting outside and sent her daughter and other half to pick up their drinks when finished. The little girl said thank you and the worker smiled at her. I overheard Melanie ask her daughter if the worker said "you're welcome" to which the daughter responded no. Melanie could be heard saying "some people are just awkward." Then I heard Melanie ask her other half "What's the name of this place?" I already knew she was going to write a negative review. Just a rude customer trying to find something to complain about. Service for me was good. The drinks did take a while to make, but the worker apologized for the wait and thanked me. To the yelper Melanie, learn some patience and have some grace.

Naks Cafe is definitely worth checking out if you're in the Pearl City area and craving a really…read moregood burger. They're located inside the Donquijote Food Court and have ample seating inside as well as outside. I went with the Wagyu burger, fries, and tossed salad, and all three were very tasty. The burger was juicy and flavorful, the fries were salty and crispy on the outside, and the tossed salad was light and the dressing paired perfectly with it. One thing to keep in mind: they make everything fresh to order, so the wait can be a little longer than your typical quick-service spot. I actually think the freshness is worth the extra time, but it's something to be aware of if you're in a hurry. Also tried the Apple Mint Mojito, which was delicious--light, refreshing, and a great complement to the burger. One tip: If you prefer your burger more well-done, definitely let them know when you order. The burger can come out on the rarer/juicier side, so communicate your preferred doneness upfront. Overall, a tasty meal with quality ingredients and a nice made-to-order feel. 5/5 stars and I'd definitely come back.

Drive into the Calvary church parking lot and you will see their Cafe. The Acai bowl was absolutely delicious. There's plenty of bananas, blueberries, and strawberries on the top with granola and macadamia nuts. I've never had mac nuts in my acai but they were yummy!. The size is perfect and well enough to fill you up. They also have a large size that you can probably half with someone. It's huge. I had my first one on Tuesday, went again on Friday. After the first try, I couldn't resist and had to go again. I'd totally recommend. Cost for regular size was $10 and the large was $15. BTW - they also have lots of fresh fruit cups, smoothies, sandwiches,... I also heard they have dinners on certain nights too.

Everything looked appealing and appetizing to the eye, but we were met with disappointment on multiple dishes. With Da Bite, you get a flight of three smaller portions of entrees: 1) the waygu loco moco meat was overcooked and the gravy was just salty; 2) crab benedict was more breading than crab so once you bit in, it was quite mealy underneath the initial crunch. The lack of crab could easily go unnoticed when smothered in sauce. 3) Ube pancakes with ube marscapone... the marscapone was delicious, but the pancakes lacked fluff and moisture. The kids pancakes also had the similar spongey dry texture and my nephew chose to only eat half the portion. We also had the Longsilog, which is a sweet sausage, but it was overly sweet for my taste. All in all, the food was just all right for the hype. Maybe we would've enjoyed it better if we hadn't already experienced better versions of similar menu items that set the bar earlier on the trip.

It felt thoughtfully done, which made me excited to try the drinks. The staff member taking orders was friendly, and service was smooth. I ordered a milk tea with boba and a mango drink with boba for my toddler. The mango drink came out purple, which was confusing. I even went back to double-check that it wasn't someone else's order. Call me boring but I was expecting the usual yellow-orange color. The drinks were also quite sweet, and I don't remember they ask me about sugar level. The boba was okay. Nothing terrible, but not the freshest. I had higher expectations, so the experience ended up feeling a bit mediocre.

Staff: friendly Interior: n/a (pop-up event) Exterior: boba truck Wait time: 5 mins Parking: lot Overall comments: checked out the Village Market in the Pearlridge parking lot on a Saturday afternoon. Couldn't pass up the opportunity to try a Filipino inspired boba truck being Filipino myself. Very cute n' modern aesthetic, loved the variety of pinoy flavors offered for the boba + coffee n' well known desserts. Really liked the leche flan Barako coffee. The leche flan flavor made it unique n' tasted great. I thought it would be too sweet, but it was just right. Surprisingly, I wanted the Mais Con Yelo to be a bit sweeter. I guess the versions that I had growing up must of had condensed milk or more of it. Either way, having Sama Sama brought back childhood memories n' I am proud to be Filipino! I would like to try out more of their desserts, drinks, n' flavors.

So cute, original, spotless & smelled good too. I ordered take out online & got there in 10 min but our 5 plates wasn't ready yet. The diner was full and had more take out orders so i get it... they were busy. But every employee walking around came to check on me and my son while we waited. And checked back multiple xs. Props to Mgmt for instilling great service skills in their team! Since we waited awhile i asked if my son could have a water but our order came out same time. Staff still went and made him a regular size water to go! I also didn't reaize the food doesn't come in bags or a box unless you check the box somewhere on the ordering site, but they were nice enough to excuse my newness & give me a cute matching themed bag). Normally you gotta pay for the bag, not sure how much tho. They have some killer daily specials: chicken katsu, NY steak or chicken bowl only $10.99 or burger & fries $8.99 (max 2 per customer)...who does that! Seriously a great value! Prices overall seemed lower here.. Katsu was good, short ribs good, fried chicken good (but like Japanese style battered and cut). The curry could be better. And i was disappointed in the katsu curry because the curry wasn't on the katsu, it was in a surprisingly small container that wasn't enough (see pics). My overall experience was great because of my experience with the employees, how nice & cute it was, & the food that I liked was good. I just won't get anything curry again. I'll be back for more $12 katsu! Oh & idk if I missed it but I WAS looking for noodles in the online takeout app & didn't find it. But their menu in store has noodles! Try check!

The crispy gau gee also had a slightly off smell to it, but it tasted normal. One thing that stood out to me was one of gau gee had a lengthwise gash in it. The lo mein(fried noodle) was extra hot, but the smell of the food was slightly peculiar but I paid it no mind. Then, the noodles were way too goopy and the taste was a little off but I still ate it. I was hoping it dry like gon lo mein. I picked out and ate a char siu strip from inside the lo mein and it tasted like it was starting to spoil. A slight aftertaste lingered after I ate. This is my first time eating food from Oh My Grill. The dining area was so nice for a plate lunch place that I wanted to give it a chance. I shouldn't have ignored the red flags (1)the weird smell coming from the food and (2)the large gash in one of the crispy gau gee. The char siu fried noodle was among the worse I have ever eaten. Maybe I should've ordered something different or something more popular but because the noodles was so bad, I not going back for a long time. I'm disappointed. I regret eating at Oh My Grill.
