Original aloha bowl. Not worth it.
Oj D.

Go the original aloha bowl. The ingredients used from the açaí was way to sweet as their base and lacked good flavor acai, the honey used you Can tell is not organic and also very sweet and artificial along with the granola used. If your desperate for acai come here or if you have time to make the walk Hawaiian aroma cafe. Also the prices here for what you're getting you'll know is a rip off.

Aloha Bowls and Tea is located near the Tapa Bar at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu. My family and I stopped by a couple of times during our vacation - one for some acai bowls and another for some smoothies. Our favorite was the Hawaiian Sun Rise acai bowl that had fresh papaya as well as mango sorbet on top. For the smoothie, my daughter ordered the Chocolate Banana flavor and loved it. Service was fine, nothing special. Just a younger kid taking orders and a few people in the back making the orders. As for ambiance, it is just a storefront window that you order at - there are no tables, but we took our acai bowls and ate them around the nearby pool. Aloha Bowls and Tea also offers a few different types of poke bowls as well as fresh tea with boba drinks. Overall, the orders came out quickly and the location was convenient.

Açaí bowel

Quick service, even when busy. Poke was a good serving size amount for one person and comes with rice. Açaí bowl was good, not too sweet with fresh fruit. It is to go so no where to sit, we found a table and chairs by the pool to eat at. Make sure to order the pearls in your tea, they don't come with it automatically.

Was laying out by the pool and wanted a fresh cool snack. This place is located right next to the tapa pool and tower. It's a small place on the corner. Service was friendly and quick. I ordered the original aloha and it was perfect. Fresh fruit. Lots of flavor. Just enough sweet with the honey added. Yummmmm. Highly recommend grabbing a bowl!

Stopped by Aloha Bowls and Tea for a quick acai bowl. It was good, not bad, not amazing. Nothing really stood out about it, and the bowl wasn't quite as flavorful or fresh as the ones I'm used to back home. Overall, it did the job. If you're nearby and want something light, it's a decent option, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way for it.

The checkout process was smooth and easy. We ordered the Honeydew Milk Tea with tapioca pearls (boba) and the Matcha Milk Tea with boba -- and honestly, they were the best we've had on the island so far! We're from the Kapolei side, and the boba here tasted like soft mochi balls, which was amazing. The tea wasn't watery like some of the spots back home, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. The wait time was reasonable, prices were fair, and the service was great. We'll definitely be coming back on our next staycation!

#60 Aloha Milk Tea $7.95 plus Lychee Jelly $1.25 DELICIOUS strong tea flavor and delightfully sweet
Laura C.

Prices have gone up since the Yelp menu photo I looked at. It's now $7.95 for a milk tea plus $1.25 for jelly or boba, but I still think it's a good value as most other comparable drinks I've found are ranging $11-$16 (even at the mall). The tea was perfect. I loved the strength of the tea-- very present, in a good way. They didn't skimp on the jelly (normally I get boba with my milk teas but I wanted to try something different). The Aloha Milk Tea (#60) is your standard basic milk tea but it was so good. Very sweet, but not overly. I WAS however bummed that they weren't willing to let me try a sample of the coffee jelly (would it really have been too much for them to use one of the plastic spoons they provide with the açai bowls to scoop a little coffee jelly for me to try before confirming that as my choice? ). As I've never had coffee jelly I played it safe and went with lychee. The lychee jelly was good. Overall the service was ok and ambiance wasn't anything special (this is basically a grab and go kind of place). Some upbeat tropical music (Hawaiian Reggae?) could have added to the ambiance I guess.

Original Aloha (Size regular)
Stephanie B.

Great option located at the Hilton for quick and fresh Açaí bowls, Poke, or hot/iced tea. You order at the window and keep in mind there are no tables near to sit. We ended up taking our Açaí bowls and smoothie to the pool to enjoy.

Açaí bowls!
Tory M.

Absolute gem in the Hilton Hawaiian village reasonably priced, and delicious! Me and my sister got the local bowl and the original bowl and the base were both acai. Thick and tasty, with the perfect amount of honey on top!

Coconut Taro Milk Tea
Angel W.

Quick stop to get a refreshing treat after the beach. Personally, I would have liked more fruit and less acai but it was overall a good bowl. The acai was also a little too frozen for my liking but that might be nice on a particularly hot day. It's located in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, which is a beautiful area to walk around and shop. Lots of scenic spots nearby to enjoy your bowl and/or drink.

Jo Ann D.

My husband and I are staying at Hilton Hawaiian village and I wanted a little snack to enjoy at the beach on the resort. It's tucked away, close to the Starbucks. Service was really quick and the prices are fair enough for having the convenience for having it on premises. The regular size was plenty for me. The fruit was fresh and the granola stayed crunchy and sweet. Wouldn't mind getting it again.

This review is from when I visited here during my trip to Hawaii in February 2024. I was walking around Waikiki and shopping at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel, I wanted to drink boba tea and stopped by this shop. To be honest, I didn't have high expectations because the store wasn't that fancy, but I was surprised to find that the Boba milk tea was delicious. What I found delicious was that the overall balance was excellent, the tea was strong (that's what I like), and had a good balance of sweetness and bitterness, the hardness of the boba. The service was quick. When I have a chance, I would like to try fruit bowls next time.

Peaches H.

This place was pretty good for a morning bite. I would have loved to enjoy peanut butter in one of their bowls, but that is just personal preference, the Acai was super frozen (almost a bit more than I would have liked), the service was quick and I don't think there is a bad place to enjoy the scenery and eat in Hawaii. This is a quick service window and you can easily grab your food and walk about 100 feet to the beach or 50 feet to the pool across the way. Overall good, I would go back if I'm in the market for a quick and easy light breakfast.

Top: #87 hawaiian style ahi Bottom: #89 Spicy Ahi Both sooo good. Get both :)

This is the best poke I've ever had! I've lived in San Diego for 10 years and I make and eat poke…read moreregularly. This place puts everything I've ever made and everything I have eaten around all the coastal cities all my life to shame! The only place I've had comparable tuna is Japan! This meal blew my mind and I truly cannot believe that such an amazing place exists. If I lived here I'd go broke for this place and this place alone Already my wife is saying we can't keep going back here and we should try new things and it is hard to get me to do that. Order the Chotoro Bowl. It is incredible. I'd recommend the fatty tuna if you can get there early enough. Lines form so things sell out quickly. Be prepared to wait a little and enjoy

My palate isn't too decerning but I couldn't sense a huge difference between the blue fin toro and the chutoro. The blue fin was a bit more expensive, so unless you know your fish, i wouldn't say the price difference was worth it. The side of uni was small but it was Very yummy. Uni is my absolute favorite. It was slightly sweet and melted in my mouth. I'm not sure I would go again, but the fish wasn't too fishy and felt very clean. We waiting about 10-15 minutes for dinner. They can also validate parking and save you 2hrs worth of parking. There was ample seating in the area.

With the change in times, it can be difficult to find an auction fresh fish market. Nico's Fish…read moreMarket is as good as it gets. How can they not be? Not only are they located right next door to the auction house, their adjoining restaurant serves up some great offerings which insures that product is constantly circulating. Though poke shops on Oahu have become plentiful, the quality of the poke at Nico's stands out. The texture of their fish is solid and firm with zero odor which is exactly how fresh caught fish should always be. I've tried some of the other poke shops around in hopes of replacing an OG fish market that closed and another that changed ownership to a newer generation of family members. Unfortunately, the results at these other places were disappointing, because either the poke was too slimy, too salty or contained chili pepper flakes. So here's the best news about Nico's Fish Market. While inquiring with a newer employee who didn't know much about their poke ingredients to answer accurately, a senior staff member, who clearly knows and cares about the job she's doing, overheard and interjected that ANY POKE BY THE POUND CAN BE CUSTOM MADE TO ORDER!!! Because of her kindness as well as the ever important quality of their fish, Nico's Fish Market is now our #1 go-to spot. Plus, their prices are reasonable compared to the inflated prices of their lesser competitors on Oahu.

Great food and generous portions. Got the furikake ahi and fried ahi belly. Both were yummy…read more There was live music but a bit loud so we found seats a bit farther away. There is also a shop next door to bring home goodies. Definitely need to come back to try more. Lots of parking.

It's a grab and go type place. There's normally always a line but it moves quickly. We usually would go at least twice during our trip. One time to grab breakfast or snacks for the beach and we would always grab a bunch before flying home. It would last us a few days even after coming home to Cali. There are many different type of selections but my fave is the classic teriyaki spam musubi. You cannot go wrong! I also really enjoy the spicy cod roe rice ball. They also sell some cute bags and other spam related items. Definitely worth checking out when on the island!

Very simple. $12 is what it was worth. The salmon egg ball had very few eggs. The eel, spam, egg Musubi was an awesome breakfast. Took a while even with only 7 or 8 people in line about 15+ min to get to the cashier but they are quick to finish your order in about a couple minutes once you order. All things considered I'm going to go out on a limb from most other reviewers and go 4.4 stars. 5 stars for my non-expert opinion on the Musubi but the ball and poke bowl were not 5-star worthy and the fact it's a hole in the wall doesn't earn bonus stars in my book.
