Mel L.

Their açaí bowls are literally the best I have ever had. I had one EVERY single day of my stay at the Hilton... I know.. expensive but worth it to indulge. I opted for this as my breakfast or dessert any chance I got. So daily. I got the same one, with papaya. I am going to miss this place. If you're wondering if you should try this place. YES!

Storefront

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.

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!

#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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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 :)

Great spot to just pick up (no seating) and take to the beach - 2 minute walk Ate there twice and it was fast, and fresh quality both times

Best local spot for Hawaiian food. The locals and visitors to the island alike love this spot. And…read morefor good reason. They are extremely consistent, since ever, and every dish tastes authentic. Pipikaula, which is the pulehu short rib, is my favorite. Lots of meat on the bone, and the fat in the meat you can taste with every bite. We got chicken long rice, beef stew, side rice, lau lau, haupia, and kalua pig with cabbage, lomi salmon, chili water, poi! Lau lau is Ono, definitely home made, and lots of meat inside. Almost forgot, we got watercress soup too. That's my favorite veggie! And the beef in the soup was cooked down so it was very moist. A little pricey overall but very worth it. Ambiance is nice and comfy inside. We went for takeout. Service was prompt and friendly even though they're so busy. Stop by if you craving Hawaiian food in kalihi!

Every trip to Hawai'i I look forward to upsetting my doc back at the mainland by gorging on some ono local grinds. Boy is he going to be angry. Give me a Chee Hoo for some Fried Butterfish Collar! How they are able to fry this fish without drying it out, allowing juices to just ooze out after breaking through the crisp exterior is mind bending. They know it's good bc when I excitedly ordered a second serving the waitress gave me a knowing wink. This is my new "last bite." Kalbi. Juicy. Well seasoned. Some of the best I've had. You know it's a popular dish when bc when I looked inside the kitchen you just see rows upon rows of ribs hanging ready to be pulled down and thrown on the grill. Lau lau-pork and butterfish steamed in ti leaves, a Hawaiian comfort food. The main reason for this trip was to bring my Mom back to her hometown in Ewa. She commented that she has not found a lau lau to her liking in San Diego so when this was brought to her and she went completely silent and smiling eating it up you know it's good lol. I was very happy Helena's take brought her joy. Kalua pork and cabbage. I can't attest to it bc it was being hoarded on the other side of the table and I was just happy with the butterfish and kalbi as is lol. Poke-Bruh, it's Hawai'i. Haupia-oh goodness. This was the perfect way to finish off the meal. The traditional coconut pudding was refreshing without being overbearingly sweet. Looks like Jello blocks but firm enough to pick up by hand. Outstanding. Service was ridiculously friendly and epitomized the Aloha spirit. This place is a foodies dream stop, serving locals and tourists alike since 1946. This place is a freaking institution!

We put our names on the list and there were a handful of parties before us. Fortunately, we only waited about 20 minutes to get seated on a Saturday. The place is like a spacious diner with a bar counter, booths and lots of tables. Look for the beautiful, long bench table that's carved from a tree. Our server, Jason, greeted us with a warm smile and took our drink and food orders. We got a few items that we don't usually see at Hawaiian restaurants back home. Hawaiian Moco: opted for the lau lau as suggested with lomi salmon and macaroni salad. For $24.99, it was huge, succulent, flavorful and worth the price point! Smoked Moco: the Kiawe-smoked meat was tender, sautéed with bell peppers and onions and topped with a yummy smoked aioli and local egg. The mini for $16.99 was the perfect portion for me. Fish Tacos: the fish was fresh, cooked perfectly on taro tortillas with chili aioli, avocado mousse, shredded lettuce and lomi salmon. The fries were thick and crispy too. Squid Lū'au Combo: with lomi salmon and poi, sweet potato and haupia (a coconut dessert) the squid was cooked in a starchy broth. It was like nothing I've had before. Not too salty but not strong in flavor either. This was my friend's choice and she loves it. We enjoyed everything we had and were so stuffed! They validate parking for the structure.

There were two of us that ordered it and same for both of us. My mom ordered the ribs, sherated it was tough and chewy. The ones that ordered the squid Lia were quite satisfied. I should've ordered the squid Lia combo instead. Not sure if I'd be back here though. But in all fairness, service was great!

I got the tuna mayo onigiri and wished they had packed in a little more tuna filling, but it was still tasty. I also tried the cucumber spam musubi, which was really good too. We came as a group of seven and everyone ordered something different, and everyone loved every bite. My tip: get at least two musubis per person. A few people in our group got four each and had zero regrets. One thing to know ahead of time is parking. It is street parking only and pretty limited, so plan for that if you are driving. Overall such an easy, yummy stop and a great local experience in Waikiki.
