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.

Storefront
Courtney O.

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.

Yoshiko G.

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 :)

They're so flavorful with the perfect amount of fat and not dry at all. You must eat it with the raw onion on the side dipped in Hawaiian salt! Soooo so good My other favorite item is the butterfish collar. So buttery and crisp to perfection. Super juicy as well! Squad lau and Kaula pork is a must too. Can't go wrong with anything tbh. The service is attentive and friendly. They were constantly refilling our waters and asking if we're good. Food always came out really quick too. 100/10 recommend Helena's to anyone looking to try real authentic Hawaiian food.

Also, the people truly resonate the aloha spirit. However, this morning's visit was very disappointing. We brought our family from Guam to try this place and experience authentic Hawaiian cuisine. But at the very beginning of the visit it was already turned sour. It was packed and there were tons of people waiting outside; therefore, my parents who were elderly sat outside to wait for our table. The lobby was packed with people waiting-understandable coz the place is popular. As people get seated, the waiting area has more vacant seat and I wanted my parents to come in. However, the hostess raised her voice and said demandingly to shut the door. I told her I'm letting my parents in. She just kept on saying to shut the door. I repeated myself that I'm making my parents come in and wait inside rather than baking outside the entrance. She just kept on mumbling until my parents sat with me at the waiting area. I tried to explain to her that I was not trying to keep the door open, I was waiting for my parents to get in. They're old so they move slow. She did not apologize she just kept saying the door needs to be closed. THIS IS TRULY DISAPPOINTING AND DISRESPECTFUL! The aloha spirit was not there. In addition, the whole experience was so sour that my family did not enjoy the food. We did not finish, we packed the food but was not able to eat them. It went to the trash! I'm hoping that a better host can help bring back the ALOHA!

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.

Da Ono is a great local spot for Hawaiian (and Korean!) food…read more The shop itself is small and unassuming, with only a few tables. It's located next to Overlord Chicken in Kapahulu; Parking is so difficult to find in this neighborhood. I had low expectations going into it, as it was dead empty when we went for dinner, and because of their AI-generated menu.... However, they nailed all the things we ordered: Poke, Kalbi, Pork Laulau, and Chicken Long Rice. Perhaps not the best ___ on the island, but they were all decent.

Good local Hawaiian food restaurant. Street parking only. Small restaurant I believe it was Ono…read moreHawaii on Kapahulu before. Now it is named the Da Ono Hawaiian Foods. Either the owner or the manager seemed like a one man show. He was the server, bus boy, and chef. Husband got the pipikalua short ribs/he enjoyed. Sisters got the pork lau lau which came with sweet potato, rice or poi, lomi lomi salmon (more onion and tomato than salmon). i got the chicken lau lau, again stuffed with chicken, not enough taro leaves. The Haupia was smoky, so either burnt or something- inedible! Only six tables in the entire restaurant. The gentleman that was serving us I believe was also the bus boy, cook, server and cashier! Place is a hole in the wall with missing ceiling tiles and exposed panels above our table (gross!!). Sis loves this dive so we keep coming back!
