There's only really been one person working there each time I've passed by, but they're quick to make your order. They have their own seating with high chairs or you can take your acai out to each in the food court. Ordered their basic acai bowl and added bee pollen and goji berries - why didn't they tell be it'd be an extra $2 each add on? The acai was grainy and bland - maybe a bit of honey would've helped? If you're desperate for acai like I was and you're in the area then yeah come here, if you can hold out for better then I'd recommend doing that instead.
The infamous papaya bowl and at an affordable price !! Short line at 10am but was able to get food within 10 mins. If you want to eat it by holding the papaya, make sure to have napkins handy since the honey and peanut butter might be dripping. The papaya itself wasn't too big but with all the granola, blueberries, banana, and goji berries it's a nice filling breakfast!
I'm writing this review specifically for the stellar service from the worker who helped us out! He was working by himself last week while it was moderately busy but he had a very efficient system attending to the line while also making the customers their orders in a promptly manner, all while being kind and nice! Drinks were also delicious.
I was looking for a healthy options in the food court, and I stumbled upon the sunrise shack at Alamoana. It is a very convenient location for us locals who wants a really good açai bowl but don't wanna check into Waikiki. The parking is plentiful. There are a lot of other shops to see in the area and it's a cute little place to stop if you want a cool treat. I ordered the tropical smoothie and an açai bowl. The tropical smoothie has a Pitaya swirl which is very fun looking, but I don't think it really adds anything to this smoothie. I just wish there was more mango flavors since I really do love mango. The açai was good. I wouldn't recommend taking it too far because even as I was eating in the food court, it started melting. The granola is very interesting. I thought it was a little salty , which is different from the granola I am used to on the bowls. Service was friendly and fast. I only waited just a few minutes with a few orders ahead. I asked which açaí bowl had the least amount of calories which the guy wasn't able to answer. My one suggestion would be adding that to the menu items if I had to make anything better.
I'd give it a 3.5 if we keepin it one hunnid... but gunna show some love with da 4 lol. Maybe just an off day but... idk family. Bowl was not hitting like it normally does. First time coming to this location--mostly just hit north shore grindz when we cruising. Main complain fo me was the acai base--just something off bout it. But who knows.. you be the judge!
WHEN: Sun @3:30pm I had just finished doing the half century ride, and I knew I wanted an açaí bowl after eating my lunch! It was hard to decide, but because I have never seen an ube açaí bowl anywhere else before, I went for the: UBE BOWL - $13.95 Base Ube Extract, Banana, Coconut Milk Tops Banana, Blueberry, Strawberry, Coconut Saucve, Granola, Coconut Flake. Okay it's more of a smoothie bowl but it was delicious! It's nice the smoothie bowls come in3 sizes and I got the small. Still had leftovers since I couldn't finish it all myself. The shop is super cute with with lots of merch to buy.
I was craving an Acai bowl and decided to come to Sunrise Shack to try! To be honest I was a little disappointed. For the Acai bowl i'd give it a 2 out of 5 because the only fruits that they put in bowl was just bananas. There wasn't much variety and what also killed it was the Acai tasted really watered down. After 2 minutes it would become sludge and it was just super icy as well. Overall, The staff was super friendly, but the Acai was an honest disappointment. I don't think I'll be coming back again.
The design and decor of the space look very good, featuring a modern aesthetic with clean lines and tasteful accents. It's not crowded, offering a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. I chose the papaya bowl and upgraded it with a smoothie, which was quite enjoyable. However, I expected the bowl to be larger; it turned out to be quite tiny, roughly the size of a small cereal bowl. The price was around $16-18, which I feel does not provide sufficient value given the portion size.

Nice options, we chose the "I Lava You" açaí bowl with a scoop of macnut butter. Great service, quick on making it. This location is in the food court of a mall (lower level) so we took it to a nearby park to eat. read more

We came to the sunrise shack to try their acai bowls! I got the papaya bowl (without peanut butter) and my boyfriend got the blue dream. Both were good. I felt like the papaya needed a bit more liquid so I added some of his blue dream to my bowl and it was delicious! This location is located on the first floor of Alo Moana near the food court so there's lots of parking! read more

I've been to the North shore location as well as the other Waikiki location on the western side of the strip, and was really impressed. This time, I ordered the tropical bowl and basic açaí bowl, and bowl were lacking the same flavor pop that I remember at the other two locations. The tropical bowl was a bit grainy and watery, and the acai bowl lacked flavor-- I don't know how else to describe it other than it was really bland. The service was a bit slow, with a line out the door during the morning on a weekday, so be prepared to wait. I'd probably be back because the bowls weren't terrible, but definitely a little overwhelmed for the price point. read more

The Sunrise Shack is a cute little food establishment located at Ala Moana Center in the food court. You can't miss it as it's bright yellow and has a very happy feel! I first heard about the Sunrise Shack on Cheap eats with Guy Hagi, but never had a chance to try them out until now. I stopped by on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch. They have a lot of options for smoothies, bullet coffee, as well as bowls, including tropical fruit bowl, Matcha bowl, and açaí bowls. I was really hungry, so I opted to get the turkey ceasar avocado sandwich. After placing my order, I had my freshly made sandwich within a few minutes. The staff here is super friendly and made me feel very welcomed. The turkey Caesar avocado sandwich was really good! It has organic turkey, kale, with carrots, onion, lemon, dressing, and salt and pepper on toasted bread. Really delicious and filling. I definitely want to come back and try some other other options, the bowls and smoothies look fantastic! read more

Freshness is found here... Lucky to live Hawai'i as there's so many fresh fruits and veggies found here and the recipe to combine all that goodness is found right here at The Sunrise Shack. Located in Ala Moana Center just below the escalators behind the Center Stage outside the Makai Market Food Court is this vibrant yellow shop with their service counter is a shack lol surrounded by various fun merchandise with the painted blue skies ceiling giving you that fun outdoorsy vibe. Whenever I feel the need for some "C" I do love to stop here for their yummy smoothies which varies depending on my cravings and mood and yes I'm sorry for no pics as I sip it as soon as I get them lol! Acai Smoothie or I Lava U Smoothie is my favorite all freshly made fast and efficient with the friendliest staff this shack has it all. Thank you! read more

The papaya bowls here are LIFE ($9.95). I usually go to the one by my place in Waikiki, but I was in the mall and decided to stop by I've tried almost every bowl on the menu and my go to is the papaya bowl. I forgot to say almond butter but they load them upppp with peanut butter. Such a good, filling, and healthy snack! read more

I really like this place because the food is delicious but.. I came here again and I ordered an avocado toast only for this to be on my plate? The last time I went here the portion sizes weren't as small as this one piece of bread (in fact it was the same size as the container) and I'm quite shocked/disappointed because I felt like I've been ripped off. Has this ever been the case for anyone? read more

This place is located at the Makai Market food court in Ala Moana. It was founded by the Smith brothers ( Travis, Alex, Koa) who all surf. They believe in serving healthy food, which everything on the menu is. I was at Haleiwa Bowls not too long ago and they had the Blue Majik Bowl that I wanted to try. The Sunrise Shack has its own called the Blue Dream Bowl. It's made with Blue Majik Spirulina blended with banana, mango, coconut cream, almond milk, honey and salt. It's topped with granola, blueberries, strawberries and coconut flakes. I've never had blue majik spirulina before and I'm not sure what it's supposed to taste like. It just tasted like bananas to me. The bowl was delicious though and it's supposed to be really healthy. If anyone knows what blue majik spirulina tastes like please let me know. read more

I love the idea of supporting real people/small businesses, rather than big corporations. The Sunrise Shack was founded by professional surfers who are into healthy living and it is a truly magnificent place with Hawaiian vibes. Their food is healthy and delicious, and if you are a coffee lover, definitely try their bulletproof coffee - it is a nice and healthier option for your average cup of joe! read more
