Very delicious ice cream!…read more I chose two flavors: a lavender flavor (I don't remember the exact name) and Kona coffee, which I really wanted to try since we were on the Big Island, where Kona coffee is made. We loved both! What surprised me most was how well these two flavors worked together. When you mix the lavender ice cream with the Kona coffee, the taste comes very close to the lavender coffee flavor which I, personally, enjoy a lot. I know it's not for everyone, but if you like it, this combination is amazing! Honestly, there were so many other flavors I wanted to try but since I was the only one getting ice cream and we were planning to have dinner, I limited myself to two. Unfortunately, it was our last day and we didn't have time to come back, otherwise, I definitely would have tried more. Hopefully next time! P.S. I appreciated that they make their own waffles! And the worker was also great, helping people ahead of me to pick the best flavors!

We ventured here for a change in our typical Hawaiian dining experience and were pleasantly…read moresurprised. It is a small location with locally sourced foods. We were greeted and seated promptly and our server, Maddie, was very friendly. I had the Ono and Shrimp Curry upon her recommendation, and it was delicious. My husband had a pulled pork sandwich with their special garlic and pepperoni fries. He enjoyed his meal as well. We shared the homemade Lilikoi Cheesecake for dessert. Yum!

You're comfortable, you're taken care of, and it feels like all they want to do is feed you and make you happy because they love you. The waitresses treat you like they've known you forever, they're so sweet, I love them. And please, get some kind of tempura. I beg of you. The tempura here is SO good. The batter is incredibly light and crispy without feeling heavy or greasy, and the texture is perfection. The shrimp tempura is amazing, the vegetable tempura is amazing, all of it. You cannot go wrong. The tempura fries deserve a special mention, though. I crave them literally every week. They're light and ridiculously crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and so good dipped in the tempura sauce. I could come here just for a basket of them. And say yes to the pot of hot tea! It balances perfectly with the crispy, fried tempura and just completes the whole meal. Everything about Teshima's has that comforting, old-school feeling that you just can't manufacture. It doesn't feel trendy or like it's trying to be anything other than what it is. It just feels warm, familiar, and cared for. Come hungry, get the tempura, and let them take care of you.

A couple of the ladies talking with each other and after the blender finished making noise, I felt like they had some issue going on and there was extra wait, which made me feel uneasy. I was the only customer inside but it felt like the staff was struggling to make one smoothie for me. After some time, I finally got it and the bits of the smoothie were pouring out ontop of the drink so I needed a napkin to wipe it off and keep my hands clean. When I drank it, there was a shot of just pure coconut flavoring that went deep into the drink.The ice was not blended well and I had some chunky textures. The coconut fully overpowered the ube flavor, which I could barely taste. There was definitely an off-balance with too much sugar or something. It also didn't taste like it was made fresh ingredients. Probably a powder mix. Was quite disappointed
