The sliced strawberries and bananas were fresh with zero bruising nor blemishes. Even the blueberries were plump and firm. Loved the portion size of creamy peanut butter and drizzled honey.

Taste of this Protein Acai Bowl was great! I will be back to try other menu items. Thank you Goldmiss :)

Little dessert shop located in Kaka'ako area above H-Mart is a great option for picking up treats for the office or to enjoy on your own. Flavors are extensive from birthday cake, cinnamon, Oreo, strawberry with a pokistick, chocolate and the list goes on. The server is the baker and she's super friendly with lotsa information about the donut origins and offering flavors to match your mood! The shop is located in a type of food court so it's busy with lunchtime crowd. The shop ambiance is bright and menu with a ton of offerings to suit your mood! Definitely a must try!

Four words: Yuzu Custard Crunch Matcha It was pretty pricey ($14 for a 24 oz) but it was one of those rare experiences that are actually worth the price. I totally understand why it costs so much; there were so many different, well-balanced components. The yuzu crunch custard must be custom made, and the cloud-like cream top was so good. I loved that the whole drink was not too sweet (SO rare to have such a well-balanced flavored drink). And at the time I went they had naturally-color pink brown sugar boba (included in the price). It was not gimmicky and was perfectly chewy and slightly sweet. Too often these viral, visual components look cute but sacrafice taste. This was genuinely good boba.

It just happened that Saap Saap was in the Hawaii Kai Shopping Center one Satuday morning. When your name is Saap Saap the food better be plenty delicious. I am happy to say the food is delicious delicious. I grabbed a mini plate of Lao sausage and blue butterfly rice. The sai oua sausages are made in house and grilled to order. They're filled with fatty pork and some wonderful aromatics - maybe galangal, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaf, cilantro - and probably garlic, shallots, fish sauce, sticky rice. There may be kaeng khua curry paste too. The rice was a fluffy aromatic version of nasi kerabu, with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, and coconut oil. I should have ordered a full plate but the owner generously gave me three sausages anyway. Unfortunately, I couldn't try the LFC or thom khem pork. If the sai oua were saap saap then I bet the rest of the offerings are equally as good. Thank you Rocky and Tamara for a great plate of blue butterfly pea rice and housemade sausages.

Perhaps they have done it in previous years, but this is the first time I recall mooncakes being offered. I came to the Ala Moana store to check them out, and was immediately offered a taste of the black sesame mochi, which was freaking amazing. Based on that sample alone, I got the black sesame moon cake for my friend. My favorite hostess gift is when they offer bundles in beautifully decorated bags. Unfortunately, you cannot customize the bundle, it's whatever they offer. Also new to me were the mini cupcakes and tropical cookies. They are just way too many tempting pastries in the shop, it's so hard to choose! Pro tip: Be sure to sign up for their rewards, it is very easy to rack up points. At 98 points, I'm 2 points away from getting $10 off my next purchase.

I used to really like coming here, but my recent visit left a bad experience. I was shopping and…read morenoticed several items on the front that expire the very next day--and they were still being sold at full, regular price! Most grocery stores and markets properly mark down items that are about to expire so customers aren't paying full price for something they have to consume in 24 hours. Selling day-of/day-before expiration items at 100% price feels like taking advantage of shoppers and just leads to unnecessary food waste. Management really needs to implement a clearance or markdown routine for quick-sale items. Until then, I'll be checking expiration dates much more closely here.

I always make sure to grab their musubis before they sell out because ya girl doesn't wanna lose my Ajitama Musubi to anybody.

Their musubis are my favorite though and I am craving them right now as I write this review.. LOL

SERVICE: friendly INTERIOR: n/a EXTERIOR: pop-up tent WAIT TIME: 10 mins PARKING: street or free lot at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market OVERALL COMMENTS: loved that they had a sampler on the menu so you can try one of each. Spring rolls were fried to order n' came with 3 different dipping sauces. The green sauce was very spicy, which they do warn you about. The other 2 sauces were sweet chili n' I believe a mayo base. All rolls were very good, fried perfectly crispy, n' had its own creative flavor. My kids even enjoyed most of the rolls so that meant it was a hit. Presentation was on point.

I believe there are parking garages nearby that charge every half hour. OVERALL COMMENTS: recommend following their IG to know of their next pop up. My kids went to town with the cinnamon roll that was soft, fluffy, n' had the perfect amount of frosting. The arabiki shio pan was our savory that was tasty n' had a nice baked on cheese drizzle on the top. The star of the show was the OG shio pan that was so good. The salt put on top was evenly distributed n' from taking my first bite, the flavor n' texture of the shio pan was outstanding. Next time I now know to get one of everything on their menu. Highly recommend checking them out!

1st time eating/trying Shio pan and it did not disappoint!!!!…read more I didnt get to go to their popups but they had a pick up at their apartment complex after one which worked out better for me anyway. Preoders opened up a few days before and it was done online. i thought this was super efficient and you can see when it releases/how many of each was in others carts/and whats currently sold out. The pans were about 5-7$ each depending on the flavors. there was also bread and cream pans. I picked up 3 shio pan - Ube, garlic, and ham and cheese. all were great and i wish i actually picked up more of them. The ube had a interesting texture, a bit crunchy but it was really good. the garlic is a vampires dream, and the ham/cheese was so cute - it has a doxie! eeee!!! I also picked up the cream pans but i wasn't too big on the filling as it was more thicker than i like, but the bread part was really soft. Service was great and pickup was super fast and easy. I would really recommend them for sure! hope they succeed and get to open up a storefront one day

The crust wasn't flaky enough, kinda dense. And the custard part should be smoother but it's quite thick and clumpy. Also didn't have much egg flavor. I was hoping to like it because I love Portuguese egg tart and grew up eating it in Macao but ended up disappointed especially for the price I paid. The folks were very nice though. The cashier was friendly and the guy grabbing the pastries for us took the time to explain the different flavors. Maybe their take on pastel de nata was just not quite what I expected.

We found this place only because we missed Jung's the first time going down the block. And because…read moreI was lazy and didn't feel like circling back (King is a one-way street) we stopped over and got some shave ice at Art Cafe. In fact, you might miss this place too because there's no sign that says "ART CAFE." Just look for the little beauty salon on the corner, and you'll see a blue shack that has rainbow umbrellas. There's one guy who works there (at least when we went) and though he was eating his own lunch (looked like a big delicious bowl of pho - YUM), he happily dished out our shave ice ($2!!!!). The unique thing is, he'll put this strawberry swirl ice cream on top of the shave ice instead of at the bottom. Which was actually really cool because you don't get all the slush at the end with your ice cream, and you can actually enjoy everything together. Of course this place isn't as good as Jung's or Waiola in the area, but it's definitely a good runner up if you want to grab some Vietnamese sandwiches or pho along with your dessert.

If you're looking for shaved ice with presentation, eclectic flair and/or particularly…read morefancier-than-usual selfie-worthy aesthetics, look elsewhere. But, if you're looking to cool down with a cheap shaved ice served to you quickly (and all the while supporting a mom-and-pop local business), look no further! Owned and run by an older Vietnamese gentleman. He also has a small food menu (Vietnamese namesakes), but I only came for the shaved ice. It's $2.00 for a shaved ice of any flavor (and no extra cost to mix-and-match flavors)... it comes in what appears to be a 16-ounce plastic cup. Only $1.00 extra for ice cream at the bottom. But fair warning: Ice cream is Neapolitan (Vanilla, Strawberry & Chocolate) versus the traditional Vanilla. So it mixes strangely depending on what flavors you get. So next time, I'll skip the ice cream, was too much going on. I went with mango and lychee, two of my fave tropical flavors that blended together nicely (sans ice cream, anyway). The older guy running the joint is very nice, so I left him a $5 tip (it seemed to make his day, so totally worth it, even if it over tripled the cost of the shaved ice). Plus, I live less than a block away, so I'll def be back to visit him frequently (especially on hot days like this one).
