    overall, it was probably the best matcha we tried in hawaii, but there weren't many options and id say i would only come back bc it's in hawaii. cali matcha places r better the drink flavors were nice but the matcha itself was not strong and just not the flavor i like however, the service was so nice and they remember faces when u come back! the speed of the orders r decently quick too.

    Order, pay, and pick up at this window

    Refreshing beverage in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawai'i... I was driving around the Kaka'ako area and saw a line for this Food Truck. I remembered that Ohana Hui Cafe had great reviews. The obstacle was parking. I kind of made my own space in the free shared parking lot where the truck is situated. Service was very friendly and efficient. I wanted to ask the young gal about her Maryknoll School shirt, but I didn't want to take time away from other customers. I'll go back and ask... LOL! I ordered a Strawberry Matcha (delicious and beautiful) and took a photo along the sidewalk where other customers commented on the photo layout... haha! Cony and Brown are famous! Anyway, go check out this small local business. They're serving up some good things!

    FANTASTIC IF you can have dairy!!!!! High quality matcha lattes for ~$9-$10. All of their fun flavors come from their cold foam! So if you cannot have dairy, stick with the Pau Hana (regular matcha latte). If you can indulge, their earl grey and calamansi matchas were so creamy and still plenty green after mixing in the cold foam! Unfortunately they were out of some flavors and the parking situation is a bit sticky (shared parking with Anytime Fitness or street parking). Overall good flavors!

    Undeniably, Ohana Hui is probably the most popular matcha spot in Honolulu at the moment. There is always a line. It's a food truck, so this is strictly grab-and-go, and you'll likely be waiting under the hot sun with no shade. Over the span of two weeks, I've gotten Ohana Hui four times. I've tried the Einspanner, Nana, Strawberry, and Earl Grey. Their matcha has a strong, earthy flavor, and the cream top is THICK. I also love that each drink comes with a cute cup sleeve! One thing I wasn't too sure about is the amount of cream top to drink ratio. There's a lot of it and it's almost half the drink! While I personally would prefer a little less cream and more matcha, all of the drinks I've tried have been enjoyable. My favorite has to be the Strawberry. Definitely worth trying if you're a matcha lover, but be prepared to wait in line and be sure to wear sunscreen!

    This is my favorite spot when I'm craving a sweeter matcha. If you like your matcha to taste more like a dessert than a super earthy tea, you'll probably love it here. My favorites are the Einspanner Matcha and the Banana Matcha. The Einspanner has an amazing sweet cream foam that pairs so well with the matcha. Just make sure to give it a really good stir because a lot of the matcha is on the side of the cup. The Banana Matcha was also sooo good. It tasted like real banana instead of artificial banana flavor, and the sweetness was just right. I also appreciate that they don't pack the cup with a ton of ice, so you actually get more drink. Parking can be a pain, but the service is quick, so you're usually in and out pretty fast.

    Finally made it to Ohana Hui Cafe after seeing it all over my Instagram feed, and it completely lived up to the hype! It's such a colorful, eye-catching little stop that you can't miss it. I ordered the haupia matcha, and you can instantly tell they use high-quality matcha--super smooth, rich, and well-balanced. Even with a steady stream of customers, the staff was extremely friendly and the service was shockingly fast. The only small downside is that the waiting area gets pretty hot in the sun without much shade, but the amazing drinks and warm hospitality make it more than worth it. Can't wait to come back!

    Parking is shared with Anytime Fitness, and they have designated stalls, but it's verrry small. If you can, I'd recommend getting dropped off or finding nearby street parking instead. I stopped by on a Saturday late morning and only waited about 5 minutes in line. They were super efficient taking orders and my drinks were ready just a couple of minutes later. I ordered the Einspanner Matcha and the Ube Matcha, and both were seriously delicious. I'd rank them way up there compared to other matcha spots I've tried. The matcha had a nice umami that was well balanced with the cream and other flavors, so nothing tasted overly sweet or watered down. I actually think a lot of matcha places are overpriced and the matcha taste is underwhelming masked by all the milk and cream, but this one is worth it. The cup size is generous, and more importantly, the matcha actually has depth and tastes high quality. Highly recommend if you're a matcha lover!!

    Came here after seeing all the hype on socials! It's a lil truck next to anytime fitness kakaako. It's good, there might be a line but they're super quick to have your order ready. Parking is more the problem than the line. We tried the einspanner and earl grey matcha. Both were good, everything seems to be a little on the sweeter side. Not sure if you can customize the sweetness level. Didn't ask them but I think a regular matcha option would be a good addition to the menu. I'd like to try the other flavors but maybe when I can enjoy it as a sweet treat and not as my morning caffeine.

    Ohana Hui Cafe is one of the trendier matcha pop-up / trailer cafes of late. They serve iced matchas, so the menu is limited but a small menu is often a good sign - cafes can't be all things to all customers, or else compromises are made. The matcha is very good. I tried their Einspanner - which is similar to an iced Viennese Coffee...or Wiener Melange. The O-O Bae ( Ube ) Matcha Latte is also quite good. It has an Oreo crumble added atop the Ube cold foam. Both on the sweet side, which I don't mind. Lines are long but the service is fast...so I avoided an unitended suntan on both occasions. Also, the line has at least 80% Asian customers - so, you know the matcha bevvies are good. I'm 100% Japanese ( 98 % from the Southern Islands & 2 % from the Northern ( mainland ) Islands) ...so I can say it. Blame Ancestry.com for my ancestral breakdown...their database in Asia is probably not as accurate as it is in Europe or North America. Apparently, there are demarcated stalls shared with Anytime Fitness that you can park at...not sure which ones. Plenty of metered stalls and unmarked parking...good luck with either option. Now open daily from 1000a till 400p on the corner of Queen Street and Cooke St.

    Went during lunch hour but was able to find street parking. There was a short line when I arrived but got my drink within 15 mins. Nana $9, matcha with banana foam. The banana had a tartness to it that worked so well with the matcha. Not grassy tasting nor too sweet.

    I LOVE matcha, I make it at home everyday with matcha powders I got in Japan. I can't remember the last time I went out to buy a matcha latte because I've been disappointed EVERY time by how little/light the matcha is. It always tastes like straight milk with a whisper of matcha. But I was recommended to try it from here, so I stopped by after going to Whole Foods. 6 drink options on the menu, and they all look pretty yummy! I got the einspanner, nana, and strawberry with whole milk. The woman working was very sweet and efficient. Unfortunately, every drink barely tasted of matcha :( very very weak. The cream/foams were strong/sweet though! If you want fun drinks, this is a great option. If you want MATCHA, it's not.

    LOVED! The quality of matcha was solid, not the absolute best matcha quality I've had, but it was good. The flavor of the strawberry to matcha ratio was well balanced. There was little freeze dried strawberries which added a wonderful consistency as I was drinking! My husband got the ube oreo which was also delicious. They're a little truck located in a shopping center. I would recommend trying this spot out!

    I went to Ohana Hui 3 times now, and it's become one of my favorite matcha spots! Their matcha is more dessert-y than others, but I love all their fun concoctions! My first impression started off weak due to one unfriendly employee, who also messed up my order--but since then I haven't seen her, and the team members I have seen are so nice despite the heat and busy long lines. Each drink costs just under $10 with tax. You can choose oatmilk or whole milk. Be sure to follow their instagram account to check for business hours, new drinks and updated menu! I've noticed the wait for drinks is much shorter now too! So glad this business is located close to my work--the perfect pick me up! Highly recommend. Parking can be tricky, but there are metered spots nearby and some in a shared lot with a gym.

    A night in Kaka'ako is always a fun place to explore, and just be entertained!…read more The Honolulu Night Market at Our Kaka'ako is indeed a fabulous adventure into the biggest street/block party filled to the brim with all things local...food, retail and culture. I've been to so many and each and every one is very unique where you can find either fashion runway stage, live street art, or even a dance night in the barn. I just love the vibe SALT and surrounding Our Kaka'ako brings with the vibrant art we're so blessed to have and this particular night (November 19th) there was actually much more shopping just perfect for the holidays and the party went further down to Ya-ya's. Tonight I was fortunate to have gone after work so I kept it short but found some awesome treats. Some straw toppers to add to my holiday gift giving and some cheesecake cups (OG, Strawberry and Cookie Butter) of course I got one of each to share...ate the Strawberry which of course omg was yummy!! Not too sweet as the Strawberries was just perfect as I tried to get an even scoop of it all in every bite. Walked further down and honestly wasn't in the mood to wait too long for anything found something that would just exactly work for me. Ya-Ya's Chophouse & Seafood and tonight they had two items - Steak Kebabs - Fat Fried Rice with TAB (aka Thick Ass Bacon lol!) I seriously wanted the fried rice but thought that the Steak Kebabs was more sensible for me personally and it came with two kebabs each fully loaded with steak, mushrooms, peppers and onions with a huge scoop of rice! So many options I really was considering including Henna from Henna Happens, Birria Tacos from Dolce Vita, Corn from Corn Onoz Hawaii but though there's always a next time yes!?! I remember pre-pandemic Yelp had a booth here and hoping as things return to normalcy that we'll see it back again one day (hint hint!) Absolutely love this Honolulu Night Market as it offers so many cultural coolness that you can't find anywhere else! Thank you!

There was some live music, but it seemed more like a quick stop for tourists rather than a real night market. I didn't try any food because the atmosphere wasn't appealing, so I left quickly.

    I just adore a crafty mind!…read more As a major crafter myself I love finding the creativity and boldness they all take to the next level is just inspiring. The amazing joy I find is that no two market is alike, as this December 2022 at Ward Village event was held in the former Pier 1 location next to Nordstrom Rack. I had a blast exploring @AdamJK uniqueness as each of us loved the realness we can relate to each item weather a time that says shhhh, I got a stress ball that says "Nothing Matters" and I'd really like the hat "I really don't know what I'm doing" for work lol!! His spirit was just so fun and bright :-) My other delight was One Shabby Chick @oneshabbychickhawaii and unknowingly my first tote from her was a collaboration with @makelemonadeproject a non profit to ease financial burdens and going though it myself instantly got me so of course I needed another tote! So many fun gifting ideas, Bas bookshop, jewelry ad even a random give away "fingers crossed" this pet friendly market has something for all. Follow Art + Flea @artandflea to keep updated on their events, crafty retail therapy is a real Art form! Thank you!

We walked across the street to the back portion behind Marukai. Admission was $3 for the adults. The two kids were free. There were food booths but we saved our hunger for Goma Tei in the Ward Center. I jumped on the bike that helped power the KTUH sound stage. I got a free bag from Kaleo newspaper. It had some cool goodies inside. At the Yelp booth, Raelyn played a trivia game. I won a Yelp thermos. Many vendors were set up in a two-story warehouse. We picked up some cool young women's clothes at a terrific discount. Andy Lee was making his art and kindly gave us a free sample. All in all a pretty good night for a family get-together or outing. Also, it seemed very pet friendly even though the theme was Tokyo. During some bedtime talk we agreed that this event was more art than flea, but the flea bargains were indeed great.
