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. They also have options for alternative milks for an additional cost. If you're Kama'aina, don't forget to get your three hour free validation at their Helumoa Hale guest services. Just make sure to save a same day receipt of $25!

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 mangos were a bit out of seasoned kind of taste. Overall a good balanced solid drink. I like that you can scan the qr code to see the a picture and depiction of the drink.

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.

Great place to go for a refreshing and delicious boba treat.

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.

I miss Hana Tea when it located in Pearl City and off Dillingham Ave before rail construction made…read moreit worse. Sadly the Pearl City location closed down last year. I have never been to this location but their menu remains fairly the same as previous locations. It was sweet of my co-worker to buy me tea before I headed over home. I went straight for lychee tea with no added and 50% sweet. Watching my sugar intake especially with bubble tea which I cannot remember the last time I had at tea shop, so long. 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.

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.

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.

The coconut slush part tastes good, but it's difficult to assess the drink as a whole since most of the coffee drained out before I could salvage the rest of the drink
