    Our favorite boba tea....brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba.
    Jessica R.

    My go to for my norm, my brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba. I have to remember to get a medium or small and not the large. For a big back, lol I always get full from the large and end up wasting. I got to try the wife's dragon fruit yogurt and it was actually good. Not bad. Not my cup of tea. Lol I think moreso, I actually enjoyed the lychee jelly lol. But was good not bad. Customer service always great. She was nice and friendly. Every time I walk in feels so clean, like the ambiance, soft music. Great vibes. Cute decor. Tables to sit. Gotta ask for key to go bathroom. Don't forget to tip (optional), your straw, and to take pretty pictures of your drink and decor lol get street parking right out front. Located on halekauwila. Came here right after picking up sabrozon for dinner, since they located on the same street. I got my boba and burrito fix!

    It's been a long time since I've had drinks from here. Service was fast and easy. A lot of choices you can order from. I ordered the Triple Matcha that came with matcha pudding and matcha creamy cake, and Classic milk tea with mixed boba and creamy cake, all at 75% less sugar.

    4.5 stars Came in and tried three drinks -- all worth it! The brown sugar milk tea with boba at 75% less sweet was absolutely the star of the show. Just the right amount of sweetness without the sugar rush. Highly recommend customizing your sweetness level here! The tea and coffee milk tea with crystal boba hit that perfect Hong Kong café nostalgia, and the crystal boba was a fun twist. Also grabbed the peach green tea with boba -- light, fruity, and super refreshing. Boba is $0.75 extra on any drink, which is fair. The shop is clean, bright, and smells amazing -- that fresh tea aroma the moment you walk in just sets the whole mood. Will definitely be back! Note: meter parking

    I was interested to try this new located in the Kaka'ako (the salt area) since the other one closed down. Larger size shop compared to last one that closed. I wanted to see how the brown sugar milk tea Boba drink compared. Note that this is made with non-dairy creamer without having to substitute. The flavor was on point and similar to what I'm used to, but unfortunately I feel like the Boba texture was not on point. I'm not sure if I got a bad batch, but the texture had no balance or chew to it. that makes me to believe it had been sitting. you also have the option to order ahead of time on their website. Definitely recommend you get the stamp card to accumulate drink points. Overall, I will give this another shot, but as far as standard and quality to what I'm used to from, it was not as good as when I remembered it to be.

    Not the same :( Used to be obsessed with Hana Tea before it relocated. I was warned by friends that it's not as good now but I was still excited to try the new location. I got the classic brown sugar boba - it was bland, too milky & boba didn't taste fresh. Very different than the original for sure. Unfortunate. Parking: 20 minutes free in the structure to its right.

    Hana Tea was one of the first boba places I tried back when they first opened in their original location several years ago near Dillingham. It was the first milk tea I had with the cheese cap and my life has changed since then and I hold everywhere else to that standard. They moved to the new Kakaako location recently which is very conveniently located. IMO, this place is still one of THE best boba places on island. I've had it at least a dozen times and it is very consistent. The brown sugar milk tea with cheese foam is my regular order and my daughter gets the taro milk tea. We do 75% sweet (we have a sweet tooth so I recommend going less if you aren't) and less ice. Nice seating, free parking for less than an hour stay. Ambiance is super cute and cozy, there's maybe 10-12 tables. Service is quick and attentive, I had my drink within a few minutes.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "Hey cu-TEA! My go-to brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba + creamy cake + brûlée cheese foam @ 75% sweetness with less ice from HANA TEA in Kaka'ako. When in the neighborhood, I just had to treat myself to something good!" Staff: fully staffed Interior: low tables n' bar stools available Exterior: in Kaka'ako area Wait time: 10 mins Parking: street or garage Overall comments: my fave boba drink! Order this time n' time again. Sweet, creamy, great taste, n' warm soft boba. On this visit I redeemed my stamp card so the drink was free with up to 2 toppings!

    Best boba in town! I've been going to Hana tea for years now and I absolutely love their brown sugar milk tea with brown sugar boba! This is my go to stop for any boba cravings! They used to be located in the dillingham area but they moved to the kakaako area which I think works out better! Cute little cafe with a few tables and counter seating for small groups. They have a fairly large menu of fruit teas and milk teas with various toppings. You can choose sweetness level and Ice level as well! The line generally moves pretty fast unless a customer has questions about a drink. There is garage parking available or street parking in the area. Grace period is either 20 or 30min (there is a sign on the Hana tea door) if not they validate as well.

    We stopped by in the afternoon and easily parked on the street. We weren't sure what to expect since this was our first boba here in Oahu. However, our drinks did not disappoint - their boba was soft and chewy and their drink was flavorful and not too sweet. Space was nice and quiet on a weekday, and the workers were efficient and quick. We made an extra effort to stop here to satisfy our boba craving and also because our pup is named Hana and we miss her.

    This is my favorite boba shop! I ordered the hojicha latte with soy milk (I forgot my lactaid), and it was delicious! This was actually my first time having hojicha so I can't speak about how good the hojicha was, but I enjoyed it! The interior of the cafe is also so cute and the menu has options for everyone. My cashier, Remy, was so sweet and answered my questions about the drink. Will definitely be trying more things on the menu!

    When I got to Hana Tea there was a couple & 1 mom with her kids before me but the employees were quickly able to get their orders so I wasn't waiting in line long and it didn't take them long to finish my order either so that was great! My drink wasn't my absolute favorite but definitely not the worst I've ever had either and I honestly wouldn't mind coming back again if this was the closest boba shop to me because I liked the combination of the brown sugar boba with the brown sugar milk tea. Also helps that if you do park in the building they're a part of you do have at least 20 minutes of free parking!

    Do they accept gift card or stamp card at this time?

    Yes! On their online order site, there's a stamp card option. You select your choices as you normally would then put the type of drink you want in the special notes (ie Classic Milk Tea). When you pick up your order, just give the cards you're… Read more

    Any caffeine-free options?

    Fruit smoothies and sparkling water.

    How many calories in brown sugar milk tea large?

    too much

    Do they offer gift cards?

    Yes

    Do they have a birthday drink or a discount for birthdays?

    They don't

    Which shopping center are they in?

    If you go near Honolulu CC, they are right across the street along the canal. Hope that helps

    Do they offer non-dairy options... like almond milk or soy milk?

    when i went they said they didnt. be careful they confuse condensed milk with almond milk, almost served me dairy.

    Does anyone know if they cater parties? How much the going rate is?

    I've seen them do events, like grand opening/employee appreciation for companies, but not sure about their rates.

    Can I bring my tiny dog inside?

    Yes you can

    Do they partner with any delivery services that can deliver to work place, like Uber eats or Grubhub?

    I didn't see the stickers yet. So I don't think so... They should thou haha :p

    What is creamy cake?

    Sweet fluffy whipped cream that they smear on the inside of the cup.

    No but you can tailor your sweetness level. Some teas are pre sweetened and keep in mind boba sits in a slightly sugared water. Otherwise you can ask for no sugar or sweetness added.

    Definitely! But sometimes the lines get really busy

    Does anyone know if they do some sort of delivery?

    As of now, they don't offer delivery

    I got the mango sago at 50% sweetness. It was a little bit sweet. I think id opt for 75% sweetness…read more The sago pearls have no sugary taste to them. The mangos were a bit out of seasoned kind of taste. Overall a good balanced solid drink. I like that you can scan the qr code to see the a picture and depiction of the drink. Parking is available with a particular address posted on the windows. They have board games to select and play from.

    I was recommend by a friend to come and try little sweet. I was really looking forward to it…read morebecause they spoke highly of it. However, for me it was a bit of a let down. So I ordered a Classic Milk Tea regular sweet. After I received my drink I was curious as to what kind of black tea they used for the classic milk tea. I asked and the person working at the register at the time just looked at me and said, "I have no idea" and walked away... Anyways, the milk tea is drinkable although, after sipping at my drink for awhile it kind of coats your tongue with a heavy cream flavor? It wasn't pleasant and the tea flavor doesn't linger. Also regular sweet is way too sweet, so I recommend doing 50% or even 25% sweet as a normal sweet. Overall, I don't think I'll be coming back.

    Visited GangnamCha at Ala Moana to try their fruit drinks and desserts. This spot is a walk-up…read morecounter only with no seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go situation rather than a place to hang out. I ordered the mango sago, which was honestly underwhelming. The mango flavor tasted either artificial or extremely diluted. The color was very pale--I could barely see that signature yellow/orange mango hue--and the mango flavor itself was almost nonexistent. The coconut base and sago pearls were fine and pretty standard, but nothing memorable or exciting enough to make me want to order it again. My husband got the fresh watermelon smoothie. You could tell the watermelon itself was fresh, which we appreciated, but the drink was very watered down due to too much ice. After just one gulp, it felt like it turned into mostly ice with very little juice left. He did like that it came standard with coconut jelly, which added a nice texture and sweetness. Overall, the drinks were okay but lacked strong, fresh fruit flavor, especially for the price and expectations. If they reduced the ice and intensified the fruit base, these drinks could be much better. Probably wouldn't rush back, but could be a quick stop if you're already at Ala Moana and craving something light and cold.
