COVID TIME... They are located on the corner on pali hwy on the street where asatofamily/people cafe is. They have a screen door to order at entrance, no need to walk inside the store. Their cup is cute! Has a scratch off for fortune or to win the prize (currently it's a phone case) Sadly, I got fortune. I ordered brown sugar milk tea, definitely a fan of milk tea that has TEA TASTE! if it's just sweet milk and no/light tea taste I usually don't go back. It's a big reason to have tea taste in milk tea or it's just milk with a taste of tea right? Haha! I finally remember to use my metal boba straw!!!! Trying to save plastic and refuse of plastic straws! Sad in covid times we can't use personal cups to save that plastic cup too but one step at a time. (I have a boba cup from a diff boba place) Lol :P Price is the same compared to all the other... They also have a stamp card... Next time I want to try Mochi soy cream MT. I can now avoid the other competition to go so far hahah! Closer to me is a WIN!! read more

So I don't really like Boba, well, I like Boba Fett, does that count? No? Okay, let me duck first before you start throwing everything including the kitchen sink at me. Geez. But I do like refreshing drinks which Fortune Tea has in abundance. Located at the top of downtown, they have a wide variety of boba and non-boba drinks for those looking to cool off. Parking is fairly decent with a paid public lot across the street and plenty of street parking. Or just parking in the nearby Safeway lot and walk over, but you didn't hear me say that. They also offer you the option to control your drink's sweetness levels. They also offer cheese foam for various drinks. Still trying to wrap my head around that concept. I went with the guava refresher at 50% sweetness. It was fairly guava flavored, icy, and very refreshing. The pink orange color is also quite contrasting to the nearby plants and sky, for those who care about Instagram. You know who you are. I'd definitely stop by for another one of these on a hot day if I'm in the area. Staff is polite and efficient and have provided a tent outside the store for people to line up and order from as it's takeout only. It can get very hot outside as you wait. Be sure to scratch off the fortune on the back of the drink! read more

Fortune Tea - Guava Refresher - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I think fortune tea is one of the best spots for boba drinks. The consistency of the boba is soft but still has a slight chew. They also offer purple rice as an add in which I like to add to my fruit smoothies to give it a healthier option. The cloudy and yogurt drinks taste super fresh, watermelon and mango are my favorite. Their signature drink is their mochi soy drink which is their milk tea topped with cheese foam, kinako powder, and a skewer with three chewy mochi balls. I usually don't order cheese topping but their foam tastes less salty and lighter than other spots. The price of their drinks is on par or cheaper than most spots plus they give a stamp card. Also don't forget each cup comes with a scratch away fortune which sometimes has a discount! read more

Fortune Tea - Mochi Soy Cream Cheese Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Torrential rain today didn't stop me from my tea, Fortune Tea is located on the corner of Kukui and Fort street next to Asato and People's Cafe. Cute shop filled with positive vibe quotes is now all closed off and orders take at the front door. Still sticking with fruit I got the Super Fruit Tea which yuuUUUMMMY it's so light and refreshing I'm so hooked! Now here's a cool fun Vegas chance, there's either a fortune or coupon on every cup...mine was a fortune "don't be afraid to take that big step" o_O...whaat!? Now my Asian side is kicking in I've been asking for a sign on my crossroad wondering what decision I need to make...well FYI I've already decided but this was like my affirmation. Positive vibes is always welcome and hoping everyone is focus on your health and happiness, thank you!! read more

I've heard so many great things about Fortune Tea and although it didn't blow me away like I hoped it would, the price & value were definitely much better than other hyped boba shops! I got the Large Mochi Soy Cream Milk Tea with Purple Rice, 50% sweetness. Pros: Instagrammable drink (which is very important nowadays haha) The mochi is SUPER soft, and is super delicious when dipped in the soy cream THE PRICE. For $5.50 for a large drink, it's much more reasonable than other shops that charge that price for a medium drink (and reaching $7 for a large size) especially if you factor in the fact that the soy cream is already included in that price! Cons: The milk tea itself wasn't amazing. It was just a plain ole black milk tea, which wasn't bad but wasn't superb. 50% was still a little tooo sweet for me so I'll probably turn it down a notch to 25% next time. The Soy Cream was good the first time I dipped the mochi in it, but after that the wow factor disappeared. The taste is very VERY subtle, and you kind of forget it's there once you start drinking. It doesn't add much to the overall drink. I could probably do without it next time and not miss it at all. They have a stamp card (buy 10 get one free) which is always a good incentive to come back! read more

As with any new boba spot I venture to, I mention it's my first time and ask what's the most popular milk tea. Sweet ol lady showed me the menu and also offered some tea refresher recommendations. This time I chose the Brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba. Jasmine sounds interesting but I'm to chicken to try something new.. By golly my drink tasted just as delicious as Hana Tea! Say what!? Yup, no doubt about it. Hours are 11am-6pm. I'm now a morning person with two little ones on board so I had to kill sometime before we came here.. She also gave me a stamp card and explained to scratch off the sticker and it'll reveal your fortune or a coupon for your next visit. Buy 10 drinks and get 1 free with the stamp card. I always used to pass this boba spot on my way to work but never made it a point to actually veer out of my routine. Welp, today was the day when I was actually back in the area. Parked on Long's side but I should've parked near them since they are on the opposite corner.. Sketchy chronics in Long's parking lot..I decided to hang behind a Carrier worker lol. read more

Confessions of a self proclaimed boba connoisseur: Someone else said this place was similar to Hana. I can say, for myself, I agree. The tea is similar to Hana's caliber. My boy's dare say that Fortune Tea's Thai MT is better. I had a taste and the flavor is definitely more potent. My first visit I chose the mochi soy cream MT. If there's boba, I'm there. If there's mochi, I'm there x2! And for the soy, y'all are G! The 3 mochi balls on top were great. I'm not a fan of the kinako, so next time I'll have to remember to opt out. The tea and boba quality were great. My daughter had the cloudy strawberry. I had a taste. Then I had another. And another and another... I liked her drink more than mine. It tasted like strawberry jello, yet you could tell there were real strawberries there. Very yummy! My second visit I chose the cloudy mango. It also had real fruit as well! Super yummy x2! Both visits my daughter asked for the purple sticky rice. She's been completely obsessed since (Viet) gram makes if especially for her when we visit. This rice is definitely not the same, but she enjoys it just as much. It has a more earthy rice flavor. The unique thing about this tea shop has got to be the scratch fortune on the cup. Its a cute touch, not to mention you could get a discount. Along with that little "bounce back" they have a stamp card reward program. So many stamps to get a free drink, I assume. Either way, I'm definitely a repeat fo lyfe! This spot is open on Sunday's, which the other mentioned spot has currently turned off during "covid times". I am curious about the "something blue" to match the polar blue lenses I'm wearing for the month... But I'm afraid it will be too sweet! I will definitely update once I've tried it. read more

8/5/2020 Best Boba I've had! Soft and chewy. I've only had their brown sugar milk tea with cheese foam and soy mochi milk tea but these are made perfect each time. I've gone back several times because my work is in downtown. So the location is convenient. You can park at Pali Longs or street parking right in front of their shop. Customer service is satisfactory and the drinks are made in a reasonable amount of time. They also have a stamp card. Just in a month's time, I've almost filled my stamp card :) read more

Fortune Tea - So so good!! Soy mochi milk tea (8/5/2020) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Drawn in by their Soy Milk Mochi Milk Tea, I went down to their cafe seeking something cool to drink. There is still no indoor dining so you just order at the door and take your drink to go. Wish there was cause there is no where else to go and sit or enjoy your drink. It's not the safest place to be, but I'm up to try anything once. And boy, there were no regrets. I got the drink I wanted. My friend got this Mango smoothie type milk. It was soooo good, just like a fresh mango milk lassi. I wouldn't say the Soy Milk Mochi Milk Tea was anything special. It was a regular milk tea with a nice foam on top and their iconic mochi. The mochi was good, but again, nothing too special. If you go, give anything they make a try. I'm sure it will all be good. Hope they reopen the indoor seating soon. read more

My aunt randomly asked if I wanted anything from Fortune Tea, and I remember distinctly that they had opened up a little before I left for Hilo, giving me no chance to check it out. So of course I had to take the opportunity to try it! It's located on the block where Pali Longs and Safeway are located in the back where that little area of shops are. There is ample parking in that little area AND where Longs is so no need to street park at all! My aunt recommended the brown sugar milk tea, but I wasn't craving something that sweet. I ended up getting the mochi soy cream cheese milk tea because 1. there's mochi and 2. it's soy based. How can I say no to that! I got a medium size with 50% sweet, and the drink itself looked so cute! Upon opening the lid, there's kinako sprinkled over the mochi and cheese foam. I tried one mochi, not knowing what to expect. It was chewy but bland. I guess I expected a tinge of sweetness when I bit one. The kinako definitely gave a nice flavor to it though! The cheese foam and milk tea itself was just right for me! Definitely not that sweet and enjoyable to drink. The boba had a bit of a sweetness to help balance the drink out! Probably won't ask for boba next time but this was definitely a drink to try. I would definitely come back and try another drink. Possibly the brown sugar milk tea! read more

Fortune Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Serving well your need for bubble tea on the mauka side of downtown - the price is right and the taste is good! === 2. FOOD Jasmine Green Milk Tea (starts at $3.50): add $0.75 for a large and $0.50 for boba/toppings). Done light and nice. Super Fruit Tea ($4.95): interesting blend of citrus and peach - refreshing way to take the heat off warm muggy days here in the 808! === 3. SERVICE For essentially a takeout counter, it's good in English and Mandarin with a reasonable wait for the drinks. === 4. ATMOSPHERE Small, tidy, and white, there are a number of tables but you're not going to do well with any group over 4 in size. Wheelchairs/strollers can manage but it would be tight when busy. Parking is best done on the street, at a meter, or in the Long's/Safeway lot next door. read more

"The world is a little bitter, I want to give you a little sweet." -- a quote from the wall of Fortune Tea in Honolulu, Hawaii This place has been open for about month and I didn't know about it until I read Donna O.'s review. She gave really clear directions. The shop is on the corner of Kukui Street and Pali Highway. I parked underneath the building in the free (one hour) parking lot. The entrance is on Kukui Street. I was going to visit Fortune Tea on a Sunday and Donna warned me about the crowd from Asato Family Ice Cream Shop... hmmm... so I changed my plan and visited on a Saturday afternoon. It was perfect! Not too busy and great service! The interior is bright and clean! I ordered The Sunset drink which is like a mango tea. I could choose between black and green tea. I got the green tea. It was almost like a slushie with crushed ice in it. It was fruity and refreshing! I also had the Super Fruit Tea. It had bits of watermelon, pineapple, passionfruit, and slices of orange, lemon, and lime in it! Fresh and yummy! I sure will return to Fortune Tea because I like the name of the place and I like the Stamp card! The decor is really cute, too! There are games for customers to play and free WiFi! P.S. the only thing is that there's no convenient restroom ... the closest one would be at Safeway, past Pali Longs... read more

With all these new tea places popping up, I think I'm going to go broke! I always look at the menu first to see if there's anything interesting to try out before checking it out in person and their Mango Sago w/ Grapefruit definitely caught my eye. I don't really know any other place that has a sago drink (sago is basically tapioca) It's a childhood favorite for me so Fortune Tea shot up to the top of my list for places to try. It's literally located couple doors down from Asato Family so you can definitely park in the lot for Pali Longs and walk over. Cute, small shop with a couple of tables to relax and play some games. I ordered what I came for and a couple more drinks for my coworkers: Passion Lychee & Strawberry Cheese (both good) Drinks came out fairly quick and they gave a bag for each drink so I had an easier time carrying them. For my drink, they advised me to shake it beforehand to mix the mango slush and sago. I took that first sip and WOW it was so refreshing. I really thought it was delicious and it already made me want to buy another one. There are pieces of grapefruit so you'll get some bitterness in there but if you really want to try this drink w/o the grapefruit, try asking if it can be made without it! I thought it balanced the sweetness of the mango so I got used to it. I definitely would love to come back again and try out their other items read more

Fortune Tea - Mango Sago w/ Grapefruit (delicious!!) - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I remember seeing this new tea place on Yelp recently but was not able to visit earlier. I just remembered today and headed out there during my lunch break. I wasn't sure if they had parking so I parked on the street near by at $0.25/5 minutes! Fortune tea is right on the corner of Kukui St and Pali Hwy near Longs and Safeway but in a different building and with People's cafe and Asato Family shop! By the way they do have underground parking as you enter the driveway to Longs Drugs from Kukui Street. There are many Taiwan tea places but it was the first time I saw a Mango Sago w/ grapefruit. It was delicious and not too sweet. The sago ( something like tapioca ) and frozen grapefruit pulp, made the drink delicious! If you don't drink it right away, the grapefruit pulp will defrost and may get a little sour. I always liked grapefruit so I didn't mind although I suggest you drink it while it's frozen and cold. This drink is a smoothie. The workers had a hard time explaining what sago was but looked like tapioca. What I heard for some people who may be taking cholesterol medicine like some statin medicines and other medicines may not be able to consume grapefruit and it's juice since it may have an affect on them. Best to check with your doctor. It's a very cute little shop but hopefully they are able to pick up more business. They are open everyday! Glad I was able to go today since it was during their grand opening 1/6-8/20 promo. For the first 50 customer, If purchase of a drink, you get a free pastry! I was happy that even on last day, they haven't reached 50 yet. When they run out of desserts then they have reached their 50 customers! I thought the passion fruit cheesecake or the other passion fruit desserts were not a part of it the free desserts but they were! The desserts looked so good. The lady at the Fortune tea said the strawberry shortcake on the bottom shelf was included also but I couldn't see it at first because there was a pretty large size mini cake and I didn't think she was referring to that! Wow I scored the last one of that dessert! I was so happy I toss a dollar tip in the jar! See the cake photo posted! Be sure to get a stamp card! Now I know there's free parking, I'll stop by again. Please be aware that parking on Sundays maybe a challenge since you maybe competing for parking with the Asato Family shop customers! Thank you Fortune Tea for my complimentary beautiful and delicious strawberry shortcake! I also enjoyed my mango sago & grapefruit! Thanks for reading my review =) read more

Fortune Tea Ratings: 4.1/5 Food: 4.5/5 - I was walking around Chinatown with my boyfriend, and we went on a hunt for some boba places. We came here on a whim, and Fortune Tea was great, because they nailed their taro ube smoothie. Y'all know I am a sucker for anything taro or ube related. You can read the description below for my drink taht my boyfriend and I shared together. - Taro Ube Smoothie [GET]: The drink is packed with real and fresh taro paste and a strong taro flavor. I can taste that the taro is real and high-quality, because there's actual chunks of taro in it. We adjust the sugar level, so it is not overly sweet. The smoothie got a nice consistency, thick, creamy refreshing. The boba was on point too. It was nicely cooked, chewy, not hard with an amazing texture. I would say it is the perfect drink on a hot day. Ambiance: 3.75/5 - Fortune Tea is only offering take-out and online ordering at the moment. The dining area is blocked, leaving just enough space for people to order drinks and a couple of seats available for us to sit while we wait for our drink. The interior got a whole-in-the-wall vibe and super close to Chinatown. There's not much parking spots available in the area though, so need to walk a couple of blocks to get here. Price: 4/5 - They got an extensive menu, and their drinks are pretty reasonable priced. The taro ube smoothie was around $6 and extra for toppings, so I'd say it's pretty standard compared to other places in the area. It was worth it, because it tasted delicious! Service: 4/5 - The service was fast and drinks came out fairly quick. There were two staffs and both were good at what they were doing. They were patience and recommended some popular drinks to us too. Overall, a good and smoother customer experience here. BLUF: A solid and probably one of the better boba spots in Chinatown area and looking for a refreshing drink. Definitely recommend the Taro Ube Smoothie, a classic if you like taro drinks. I don't think I'll go back again, since it took quite some time to get there, and location and parking both isn't ideal. read more

I heard about this place via Asato Family ice cream shop's Instagram. The two shops, located a few doors down from each other, had a collab featuring white rabbit milk tea/ice cream that I absolutely had to try! I got the white rabbit milk tea with brown sugar boba, which was perfect for my hour long wait in line for ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised by the slightly thick richness of the milk tea. The brown sugar boba was on point, with a deep flavor that permeates inside the pearls. Hopefully they decide to keep the white rabbit on their menu, because it was amazing! I haven't seen any other place in Hawaii doing it either. One unique thing about this shop is on each cup, there's a little scratch-off fortune! I've seen people get fortune cookie style phrases, but mine said 10% off next order. I really like this fun little addition to the experience. Even though it's a little out of the way, I'd definitely come back here! read more

I would have never come across this small boba shop! Located just slightly at the corner near downtown Longs Drugs is where this boba place can be found. There's just street parking just in front of the shop, but you're able to just run up, order, and get your boba fairly quickly! I tried our their Jasmine milk tea. If you're into tea flavors this is your boba. I got mine with 50% sweetness and It was just right. My friends that came along with me also got the infamous Mochi Soy Milk tea. This particular drink usually comes with mochi balls on the very surface of the drink. But, if you're on the go - you're able to request for a lid and they also provide the mochi balls wrapped up. SO don't worry - you're able to take those boba photos at the comfort of your own home. What I genuinely love about this place is the fortune that is found just below the logo on their cups. It acts as a fortune cookie! Mine left a message that put a smile on my face.. But I heard that there are some hidden prizes! So always scratch those fortune before or after! read more

Hi, my name is Kinga and I have a confession to make... since discovering the Mango Sago with Grapefruit, my usual "don't always order the same thing" non-routine has changed. Do yourself a favor and try this delicious drink. I get mine 25% sweet as I don't like over sugary drinks and it's perfect. It's a more smoothie-like consistency with Juicy mango flavor, hint of bitterness from the grapefruit, and delicious sago pearls. Also, for those that don't drink fast, or are like me and can't always drink it right away at work... it refrigerates well! Never been to the actual store as coworkers and I order online @work. Usually we rotate where we get bubble tea from but since discovering this place, we've ordered from here at least once a week if not twice a week. It's that good! read more

Great value. Drinks are delicious and sizes are as advertised, unlike other places where there is barely any liquid. Watch out for weird characters around the area, but worth it. read more

My boba tea craves kicked in n' as we were heading to Fortune Tea I was worried we wouldn't get there before they closed at 9pm. Literally got there 5 mins before closing n' they didn't turn my hubby away (I stayed in the car in my pajamas lol)! Ordered their brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba n' a cheese cap for the second time. We first came here on their grand opening day. Wish we would've known that they give out a stamp card, guess you have to ask, so I made sure to have my hubby ask this time around! My drink was good n' I like how the cup is sturdy. The only thing I would change is the boba texture n' temperature. I prefer boba that is soft n' warm. Being that this spot is conveniently close by, it will be easy for me to get a quick boba drink fix! Not to mention, I L.O.V.E. their name...from one Fortune to another! Staff: friendly Interior: clean, limited seating (small) Wait time: 5 mins Parking: lucky to get street; walking distance from lot Overall: boba tea craving fulfilled! read more

I will minus one star for this recent visit. Their mango sago used to be good, very rich in texture and has more grapefruits in it. But the one I got today, not much grapefruit, there is tiny ice cubes not blend through, sago probably pre frozen because few sago was very icy. I probably won't be back. But 25% sweetness is perfect for me. read more

Who goes on vacation to Hawaii and gets way more excited about boba than the beach? *Slowly raises hand* It was mid-afternoon, i.e. boba-o'clock and we found Fortune Tea via Yelp with raving reviews. The menu features a number of specialty drinks, and it's quite hard to decide on what to get. I felt bad for the staff having to stare at me ponder which drink would taste and look the best. I kept eying an enticing-looking picture on the menu and caved to the incredibly photogenic MOCHI SOY CREAM CHEESE MILK TEA. It was worth the splurge though--the mochi were soft and chewy, made even more delicious with the soybean powder. The dessert topping and whipped cheese foam contrasted nicely with the stronger black milk tea. They were able to make my drink with no sugar and no ice as I had requested, and it tasted perfect--very satisfying but not too sweet and indulgent. Hubs got the MANGO SAGO. I only took a small sip and I hardly remember what it tasted like because I was too preoccupied with my mochi. He did say he was quite impressed with how fresh the mango was. The only downside is that it's order-only at the counter and there is no indoor seating due to COVID restrictions, but it would have been a nice and sunny place to sit down and enjoy (and photograph) the drinks. The back wall also has a cute saying "The world is a little bitter, I want to give you a little sweet" (does it still work if I get my boba drinks at 0% sugar?!) It came out to over $6 per drink since we got fancy drinks and upgraded to large size, but Fortune Tea did make life a little sweeter. read more

Been to Fortune Tea once or twice before. We decided to get Fortune Tea after picking up our Pre-order sherbet from Asato's since we're not in town often. This time we got the Cloudy Mango, which comes with splotches of whipped cream within the mango smoothie whereas the mango yoyo comes with yogurt. I usually don't get mango, but I'm in a mango phase right now so I liked this drink A LOT! Definitely very mangoey (lol). And I like how there's a fortune or coupon you can scratch off on the cup.

Being born and raised in the Bay Area, I've been drinking milk tea almost my whole life so I'm pretty picky with my drinks. Fortune Tea was definitely the best milk tea I've tried on Oahu! The first time we went I got their Lychee refresher and my boyfriend got their Jasmine Milk Tea. Their lychee refresher was a carbonated drink with lychee syrup and jelly. It was super refreshing on a hot day! Their jasmine milk tea was definitely the star of the show though. It tasted like the drinks I get back home! It was so good that we had to return here a second time. The boba was soft and chewy and the tea flavor was really strong. Highly recommend Fortune Tea if you're in the area and craving milk tea! They had an abundance of street parking outside but there's also a Safeway right next door so you could just park there and walk over if anything. read more

Fortune Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

On our now weekly bubble tea expedition, we decided to try Fortune Tea. I was drawn in by the prospect of mochi on top of my bubble tea, I had to check this place out. Overall, their prices are pretty good compared to other similar shops. They also have some more innovative options, like the Mochi Soy Cream Cheese Milk Tea, which I obviously had to order. The Mochi Soy Cream Cheese Milk Tea was delicious and I would recommend it. What makes it so great is the little skewer of fresh mochi on top. It is not the best mochi ever but it is really good. Plus, sitting on the cheese foam, it get slightly salty which complements the sweetness quite well. The tea itself was average. I like to be able to taste the flavor of the tea in my drinks and this one was just a little more generic than most. The boba were not my favorite either, though they were still good. All that being said, it would not stop me from coming back. I recommend Fortune Tea, mostly for the Mochi Soy Cream Cheese Milk Tea since it's so unique and fun! Plus the prices here are solid. read more

COVID Update Due to COVID, they aren't allowing you to sit down, it's takeout only. They moved their counter to the door and had plexiglass at the counter. It seems like they take COVID seriously, something I'm glad to hear. They also modify their hours, As of this writing, they are open from 11:00 AM-6:00 PM every day. I like fortune tea, I would say it's one of my top milk tea places. One reason I like fortune tea is that they have drinks that you can't find anyplace out. For example their Mochi Soy Cream Cheese Milk Tea, they have limited time drinks too. More importantly, their fundamentals are good; Their tea is strong (some tea shops tea aren't as strong and you might wonder where the TEA in Milk TEA) and their boba is nice and chewy (some tea shops have boba that has a jello texture). Parking is pretty good, there is meter parking right in front of the Fortune tea and there is a parking lot in the back too but I don't know if that parking lot is for fortune tea. Also, there is a Safeway/Longs parking lot 100 feet away, I don't think are suppose to park there. I usually just park at the metered parking because I'm in and out pretty quickly. read more

Finding this place was my best fortune this fall. Proof: I ordered boba here for four days straight recently. I was hooked in by @yummygrindz's post of the mochi soy cream milk tea on Instagram and knew I needed to try. And once I got my hands on it, I knew I had delved into something special. The boba balls were perfectly slimy with only a slight chew, the milk tea was sweetened to perfection, the cheese foam was light and airy with a hint of salty-sweet, and the mochi balls on a skewer? Simply perfect with kinako on top. I had that drink for 2 out of the four days. I had the cloudy avocado on the third day- the avocado smoothie was alright. The thing that makes it cloudy is the whipped cream on the walls. Lastly, I got the mango sago with grapefruit on the fourth day. Creamy real mango flavor with a slight bitterness of grapefruit made for a pleasing combination. Service was super friendly and informative each time, and the fortune on the side of the cup brings extra cheer. High quality packaging as well, but not overpriced at all. Will be back again and again! read more

Great tasting every time! & given that there wasn't many people when I went, it didn't take long to receive my order.

Went when they first opened. It has a parking lot that is shared with the building. We went at night so it wasn't busy. This was pre-COVID so we were able to sit down and enjoy our drinks. I like the cup because you could scratch off and there was a fortune! It was a small place but if you're getting your drink it's just in and out. You order when you enter the door so I could see issues with people trying to maneuver going in and out and the line being in the way. Just have to be considerate of others. I liked my drink. I got the oreo cheese milk tea. I would come back if in the area again. read more

The milk tea craze is never gonna die down here, is it? Not that I'm complaining, I could probably single handedly keep them all in business. Current body composition: 50% water, 49% boba, 1% muscle. We're tried the jasmine milk tea and the cool lime bomb that day. The milk tea was wonderfully fragrant with a strong tea taste just the way I like it. It wasn't overly sweet, so 75% sweetness was perfect for me. I wasn't a big fan of the lime drink. I usually like tangy drinks and even the cashier hyped up the sourness of it but sadly it didnt live up to the hype. Service is friendly and quick, even with all the people coming in from Asatos. The scratch off fortunes on the cup is a fun surprise. I'm still a fan of the jasmine milk tea and will stop here on days when I'm brave enough to walk past the crazy chronics. read more

Fortune Tea - Jasmine milk tea and cool lime bomb - Bubble Tea Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

My first time here! Located on the side of longs, fortune tea has street parking in the front. They have a tent set up outside for patrons to wait for their drinks. There was quite a bit on the menu, but what caught my eye was the brûlée (yes again with my brûlée addiction). I ordered the Thai milk tea brûlée since I usually try milk tea, but this time there was a Thai version! I was excited for it. There was only 1 person working the front and making the drinks in the back, so it did take a while for drinks to come out. My friend really liked his mango sago, he said you could barely taste the grapefruit. My boyfriend really liked the mochi cheese milk tea, he wants to go back for more. Unfortunately, I didn't like my brûlée Thai milk tea. It tasted sweet watery, not condensed like Thai tea is usually. It wasn't a good texture, way too watery. The brûlée, I assume was the pale yellow looking streaks on the side of the cup, but I barely tasted it. I would have forgotten this was "brulee" if it wasn't for the drink sticker on the side. This drink was not for me. However, since everyone else liked their drinks, I'm still willing to give this place another try. All the drinks have a fortune attached to the side of the cup which was pretty unique. read more

This has become my favorite boba tea place. Their boba is REALLY good. Soft. They have an azuki boba milk tea. I can't find this anywhere else. I love azuku, and it turns out to be a great combination with the boba at the bottom of my milk tea. They have a rewards card so you can rack up those purchases and get a free drink after you purchase 10 drinks. Turned on my friend (who is VERY picky) to this place and she loves them too. read more
