It had been a while since coming back to Hula Boba since I don't live on this side of the island. I saw a sign that said new management. I ordered a black tea with lychee. I like how you can pick three toppings for one price, and there are many varieties including my favorite grass jelly. Plus you can see the toppings near the counter. I also like how the tea wasn't excessively sweet or had a lot of ice. The drink was really refreshing and tasty. Probably the thing I liked the most was all the traditional Asian snacks at reasonable prices for purchase. Staff was friendly too. This is my new go to boba place in Kapolei. read more

Hula boba is one of my favorite places to go for a smoothie. Parking is super easy and plentiful. Staff here are very helpful. Service is very quick too quick that sometimes I don't have time to browse all the snacks that they have in their shop. And lastly, the price is right. read more

I continued my search for milk tea on Oahu at Hula Boba. The helpful worker at the counter answered all my questions about the milk tea options. I decided to try one of the local favorites (designated on the menu with cat paws) -- macadamia nut. It was a little too sweet for me, so I got my son to switch his brown sugar milk tea, which I liked better. The boba had good texture, but I would have liked it a little sweeter. My milk tea standards are pretty high, and this was decent. Better than Teapresso but not as good as Seven Leaves in So Cal. They have a little shopping area with snacks if you need something to go with your drink. read more

There's alot of parking too. read more

Found this gem on yelp. My husband ordered a li-hing mango drink with ice cream and mochi topping. The drink was delicious! I ordered a dole whip taste a like drink. This one wasnt as impressive. It fell short of my preference and the taste was just okay. Overall we would come here again if we are ever on the island! read more

Can't miss this place, it's by Chun Wah Kam in Kapolei. First time here so was glad to have the help and recommendation of the female employee. I chose 2 large blended smoothies, a mixture of two teas. Toppings? I said no boba, can you choose for me? Same for both? No, I'm going to put it on Yelp. She gave me my receipt and told me how to enter reward points. She also said she wrote the toppings on the cups- so helpful and nice to know for a return visit: coffee jelly and custard for one and rainbow jelly and lychee jelly for the second one. Great to drink on our way home from Kapolei. I purposely said 0 sugar and she said O can make that. If your into snacks there are a variety of packaged snacks for purchase. read more

Thank you Hula Boba for satisfying my ube shake craving. Off topic, Jack-in-the Box had a ube/cookies n cream shake. It was junk as it was too sweet. I was honestly bummed...when I saw Hula Boba's "Ube monster" drink, I HAD to get it. The ube monster was everything I wanted it to be! I'm so happy I tried it! For a while, I debated about it and wondered about its hype on Yelp..I'm so lolo for not trying it earlier! It's sooo good! You can taste the ube and it's not too sweet either. I've stopped by a few times and service is always awesome. I like that the shop has other Asian snacks. Location: its in the same shopping area as Chun wah Kam. There's a lot of parking and easy to get to. Though there's other boba places in the area, Hula Boba is my favorite. read more

How have I never wrote a review for here before?! This is my go to spot for boba whenever I'm on the west side. I love their green tea with a fruity flavor like mango or peach. The one thing I really like about this place is the different toppings you can get. I especially like the mini boba, custard and rainbow jelly. There is also a bunch of snacks you can purchase too. Service is always quick and friendly. read more

Hula Boba is conveniently located close to the freeway, making it the perfect spot to grab a drink. Before heading to the Ko'Olina lagoons, I wanted to grab some iced tea to cool down. [Ambiance] this tea shop is in a small space, with no seating, so prepare to take your drinks and snacks to-go. In addition to tea and smoothies, they also offer an entire wall of assorted snacks. When it comes to drinks, I love how everything is customizable: base (green, black) flavor, sweetness level, and toppings. I chose the following drink: * Base - black tea, flavor - Li Hing Mui. It was so refreshing and delicious. The black tea was brewed strong, unlike other popular tea spots that often serve watered- down iced tea. [Service] excellent! There were 2 employees and it only took them a couple of minutes to make our drinks. Prices are affordable - it was only $5.25 for my small drink. Overall: 5-stars! read more

I haven't been back to this place since right after the pandemic and a lot has changed. The place is still clean and neatly kept in the store front. The major difference is that they lost the one thing that was appealing about going there in the first place. You NO LONGER can pick your own toppings from the little bar and the cups changed to what seems like smaller cups. You can now only pick up to three toppings for your drink :( The two large milk teas we got were about $14 and it didn't even taste good. They use that syrup/mix that you can buy in the store nowadays and the boba had no flavor and were all sticking together so it made it hard to drink. The service here was good and the two boys working there were really nice. I felt bad they could read my disappointed facial expression after the first sip. My daughter is only nine and said her Oreo cookie ube milk tea was not good at all, especially since they just crumbled up some cookies and threw it in the milk tea. Soggy cookies in tea??? Yeah, junk. Sad to say, but we're not ever coming back here unless it goes kinda back to the way their business model was set up before. read more

Love it here! The workers always greet you and are patient and friendly. Love the snack selections too. Reasonably priced!

Good drink with nice chewy boba and fast service, the straw they use sucks though, it breaks with slightest pressure and made a spill in my car read more

Cute little boba shop in Kapolei with solid drinks! We were out shopping when we had a craving for a refreshing drink. Hula Boba was tucked between a couple other eateries which all share a decently sized parking lot. What I like about this boba shop is its customized setup. I was able to customize my iced tea with a choice of base (black tea, green tea, etc) and a choice of up to two flavors. I chose pineapple and li hing mui. You can also choose your sweetness and ice levels. The only knock that I have was that my drink was still very sweet despite getting 25% sweetness. It was still very delicious and refreshing regardless! The shop also sells a variety of snacks for reasonable prices. We ended up getting various types of mochi to take home with us! read more

I was craving boba on my way to the post office and noticed Hula Boba. The reviews and photos looked intriguing so I decided to stop in. There were two gentleman working. The man that took my order was a little frazzled, I'm not sure why. I didn't know what I want and he kept saying huh? Like I was talking and I wasn't. I ended up just getting the macadamia milk tea with 50% sweetness and regular boba. The inside was clean, lots of Asian snacks to choose from and a large menu of drinks. The drink was made fast as I was the only person there, and it tasted good. The boba was ok. Some of them were hard but I didn't eat the majority because they were all stuck together in a giant blob at the bottom of my drink. Not bad but I've had better. I didn't see this Ube Monster or whatever people were raving about. read more

Amazing customer service, unique flavors, wide variety of drink! Definitely one of my favorite boba spots on the west side!

Finally time to leave Hula Boba a review because I have never really been a "boba lover" until I sampled my son's Ube Monster a few weeks ago. Omg that thing is to die for - DEEEELICIOUS!! My wife has been frequenting Hula Boba for yearzzzz. So much so, that when she goes in, they already know her order and she's always greeted and thanked so genuinely. I know that makes her feel extra special lol! (She's a dork like that) Hula Boba should be the 'go-to' for those who have a dying urge for boba, but don't wanna spend more than $10 each (like at Infinitea). Here, you not only have a wide range of delicious drinks and smoothies to choose from, but they also include up to 3 toppings per drink for $5.50 for a small and $6.00 for a large. Definitely a bargain for treats these days. In addition to the cold drinks, they have a store full of local style snacks and Asian goodies. Hope you like it! read more

After a nice day of fun in Kapolei and initially stopping into Cash n Carry to go "treasure hunting", we were informed by the nice employee there that Cash n Carry had relocated their snacks section to their other location of Hula Boba. This new location was easy to find right in downtown Kapolei. After purchasing a few random things from Cash n Carry we were back n on the road looking for Hula Boba. Super easy to find, Hula Boba is located in the same strip mall as Chin Wah Kam on Farrington Highway. While the shop is not very big, it is more than a fun Asian and local snack shop with great prices. I walked in murmuring under my breath "is that right...only $1 for two packages of that"?!? After the two of us each gathered a basket full of treasures and waited in line to pay, the newest customer who just walked in the door asked me, "is that right?!? That over there is only $1 for two?!? Couldn't help but think, is this deja vu? After leaving, went back in for a refreshing iced tea. At only $5.50 each and 50c for the add on aloe, lychee jelly, coffee jelly, etc... you may want to get two drinks like I did! Remember to get a drink punch card as a soon to be loyal customer! Was a nice and refreshing drink to keep me company on the drive back to Honolulu! read more

I wanted an iced tea drink. I wasn't wanting boba at the moment because my daughter and I just ate at a sushi place. I decided to get a lychee green iced tea with 50% sugar. This drink was good. I finished my drink pretty quickly as I was thirsty. My daughter didn't see anything she wanted. They also offer smoothies but I guess my daughter has her go to. The guy helping me was nice and very efficient. He welcomed me in. It wasn't busy around the time we came. The inside was clean and very organized however I didn't hear any music if I remembered correctly. Plenty of parking up front as we parked directly in front of the boba place. I was actually surprised they had snacks to purchase as well. I definitely will come back here if I'm in the area. read more

Haven't had hula boba in foreverrrrrr! it was one of the first boba shop's i've visited. i miss their jumbo cups. i remember tasting wintermelon for the first time here and it basically started my wintermelon milk tea obsession. it's so creamy tasting, a lot different from other places that specialize in just very sweet wintermelon teas. the coffee smoothie is also pretty good. boba is so soft and a great kind of chewy. they also have a little grocery store inside with a bunch of asian snacks. a lot of their snacks take me back to my childhood. read more

This is my first time trying this place since it moved location from the Kapolei shopping center! Honestly the quality and service is still the same. As for the quality, I got the tiger milk tea and my other half got the honeydew smoothie. Let me say the tiger milk tea was definitely a different taste. I felt it was a mixture between black sugar and Thai milk tea. And as for my other half's honeydew smoothie, it's by far my favorite. It tastes like a Melona bar. It's creamy and milky. I loved it As for the service, it's the best. The person who helped my Im not too sure what was his name but he was friendly and positive. Also, taking my order was quick! I would only say the boba for my taste wasn't too soft but that won't stop me from visiting again! Must try if you haven't! read more

COVID19 UPDATE: self serve toppings are closed until further notice. You can still order it and a staff member will add it for you. TL;DR: Cute presentation but average bubble tea, smoothies are better. GET THE TURTLE CHIPS. Boba is good and drink prices are pretty reasonable! The convenience store snack prices are extremely reasonable! FYI: There is signage stating that the Boba is made fresh daily and can take up to an hour -- good things come to those who wait! The boba is very tender with a slight chew -- the best kind! Parking: private lot. Atmosphere: it's a mini convenience store for light snacks, sweets, and of course boba tea! Menu: posted on the exterior windows, on the back wall behind the register, and in case you missed it, right in front of you when you order! Service: I recommend grabbing the snacks you want first and paying for them and your drink at the same time. There is minimal wait time for your drink -- they are fast! When you order, you can customize sweetness level and ice level -- the fruit teas tend to be sweeter than the smoothies. The Fruit Teas and slush are average in my opinion. If you get something here, go wild and get something you wouldn't normally find at any other bubble tea joint. The smoothies here are pretty dang good. I recommend the Tiger Milk Smoothie! You can get a "Thai Wall" added to your drink for an additional charge. It is a layer of condensed milk added to line the inner walls of your drink cup. Turtle Chips: Oh my god. I have found a new favorite snack! There's a reason they are at the front of the store. I love the flavor of these chips and they taste exactly like seasoned sweet corn but in chip form! I bought one bag to try and then went back in and bought 3 more! The chocolate churro flavor isn't too bad either! read more

This place is the definitely of a bang for your buck. The amount of milk tea you can get for the price is easily 1.5x more than the spots in town - granted the quality isn't as great as the ones in town, it's still an awesome deal. The small is a whopping 24oz and the large is 33oz. The Keiki is your standard cup of boba at most spots at 16oz. We got the Tiger Milk Tea (thai + signature) with Almond pudding and Lavender Milk Tea with custard pudding and grass jelly. The Lavender actually tasted like a milky lavender (you'd be surprised how many spots don't follow through on the lavender part). The Tiger Milk Tea didn't have a super strong thai taste but the tea was prominent. The Almond Pudding kinda overpowered this drink so I'd suggest getting this only if you love the almond flavor. read more

When you're in Kapolei a trip to Hula Boba is certainly a treat! It's absolutely different for sure...is it a Boba or snack place? and the cups I'm so glad I bought this cup holder that holds various sizes cause these cups are super adorable but they're like buckets that they call sumo cups lol!! As this is my first time here and as it's original concept was a self serve drink that obviously changed due to covid I'm not used to the ordering system. Their menu is huge and very personalized you can choose your tea and flavors, sweetness and toppings which I wasn't sure because it wasn't listed on the menu but decided on iced tea with boba. At first the boba was yummy but started to clump together and got gummy, maybe I was drinking too slow but was driving so I guess it was too hot? Super quick and friendly staff and am excited to try something new, it was so refreshing and totally recommend. Thank you!! read more

Finally made the trek out to Hula Boba and it exceeded my expectations! What I love about Hula Boba is how extensive their menu is. There's options for everyone's drink and topping preference. From smoothies, milk teas, fruit teas, jellies, puddings, boba, and more! Due to COVID-19, toppings aren't self-serve anymore. Instead the staff prepares each order. I got a small Mango Passionfruit Black Iced Tea with Lychee Jelly. It's nice that they allow you to mix and match flavors! Hula Boba is also extremely generous when it comes to toppings. The worker put in three massive scoops of Lychee Jelly in my drink. By the time I finished my drink there was still about a scoop of jelly left! I'm looking forward to coming back with friends to try their boba and other flavors! read more

Was in Kapolei & wanted boba. This was the first place that popped up & was rated really good! So I thought why not! In a shopping area where Chun Wah Kam is located. Parking was easy & wasn't too crowded where I had to walk far. The store also has lots of Asian snacks & candy. It was a hot Sunday so I wanted something refreshing. It's awesome because for smoothies you can mix 2 flavors at no extra cost. And then on top of that you can choose 3 toppings at no extra charge, unless you choose the premier toppings then it's extra. The smoothie was made fresh & fast. I love my boba which was aaamazing that I get to have extra at no charge. The boba & lychee jelly were both good. Wish this wasn't all the way in Kapolei or they had other stores around the island. But next time I'm in the area I'll be going there again! read more

I believe the toppings station used to be self-serve, but due to COVID-19 you can no longer scoop your own toppings. But it's still a great place for boba! read more

I decided to venture into the world of Bobas... With many yelp friends into Boba, I figured I was missing something if I didn't try. First, Dee and J-Wow, you two are boba queens... I am a novice Bobaian... There is also Bobalicous Pamela... None of you, however, live here. So I refer to our local expert Kyra, as she has a stringent metrics for food. She gave this place 5 big ones. Irene did too. So, here i go gently down the boba stream. I ordered coffee and chocolate, and I was told "smoothie?" I said "No!" I was told the flavors for coffee and chocolate only come in smoothies... Apparently I don't know my bobas and smoothies. It really doesn't matter what it is. It is like cow tongue... it is better to enjoy it in ignorance. I will say I enjoyed my chocolate coffee smoothie boba whatever immensely. Even if it had a cow tongue, i wouldn't have cared. I can't teach you what Boba is, but I can certainly tell you that you will enjoy this concoction of smooth yummi chocolate coffee thing in large. 50 cents difference between small and large... one should always get the large!! read more
