    My friend and I
    Anjelita S.

    It's a cute cozy atmosphere. Very clean and pleasant the young lady was very helpful in explaining the menu to me and gave me suggestions on what I could order since I'm allergic to gluten and don't have diary. I ended up getting these taro balls that were so delicious I had to get another order of them. It was light and refreshing and not sweet at all it was very good, I know some of there foods sounds not appealing but trust me when I say it's DELICIOUS. I'm glad I came with my friend after work

    On a whim I decided I wanted a soupy dessert tonight, despite the ugly rainy and chilly weather. Off to Meet Fresh we went! Instead of our usual Black Sugar Boba Milky Shaved Ice (I just realized I've been miscalling it Brown Sugar...!), I decided on the Mango Pomelo Sago cold. The kid doesn't like mango so he ordered the Signature Hot Grass Jelly Soup. I was expecting the Mango Pomelo Sago to be more soupy like the Hong Kong style dessert but it was thick and rich and still very mango-y. The pomelo looked and tasted more like grapefruit but they're close enough in flavor and texture. Each mouthful of the mango puree and jelly was sweeter than the last. The sago pearls were perfectly cooked and not mushy. The ratio of shaved ice to the puree and mango bits was just right, although the hubs and I both wished the shaved ice could be a tad finer. The Grass Jelly Soup though! No wonder it's the signature item. I am very familiar with the aroma but the grass jelly was so smooth yet still had substance. It had the consistency of soupy starch but still had a gentle almost nonexistent al dente-ness? What is this magic?! The mini taro balls and boba pearls were perfectly chewy. We're usually not taro fans but these pass the tastebuds! We could see steam from the surface but it was the perfect temperature. The kid requested the red beans put on the side, which was accommodated. The peanuts were packed separately as well, which I then munched on their own. Very pleased with our stray from the usual. It's about time we tried other desserts, maybe their tofu pudding next! Solid 4.5 stars.

    They have a great deal going on right now. Sweet combo deal for 9.99 $ includes: Egg waffle Boba milk tea Crystal mochi

    Another go to spot for me! Staff is always so friendly and greets us with a smile every time. Place is always clean and has a nice vibe where you just want to hang out and have a good time with friends. We shared an icy sorbet bowl. Lots of sorbet and lots of toppings, what more can you want? Boba, tapioca and the other chewy stuff cooked proper and not hard or mushy. We'll be back again for sure!

    After coming here for about 3 years I can say how much this place has improved once you give it some time. The first two visits their desserts were closer to sugar water than an actual solid shave ice but I kept coming because the toppings alone are hard to come across in a great arrangement. Their menu has also changed immensely as well. They now have egg waffles, more teas and more shave ice all of which I think are phenomenal. There's truly something here for everyone whether it's hot or cold, milk or herbal tea, soft serve or a fresh egg waffle: this place has it all. These people finally got there dessert down to a science and I couldn't be more pleased. Truly hope this is only the beginning with Taiwanese dessert shops on Oahu.

    Solid Taiwanese desserts. Usually get the tofu pudding signature - do hua w taro and sweet potato balls and 2 scoops of taro. Get w no ice

    I'm so glad I finally tried this place! Their menu is so large so I'll have to go back to try something else! We had a hard time deciding because they have so many toppings and combinations that I'm not used to so didn't know which one I wanted. We decided to try the icy taro series. The dessert is pretty large so I would recommend sharing. The taro scoops are big and tasted really delicious. There were also other taro balls, boba, and red bean. It was so interesting to try these all on like shaved ice. It was really refreshing though. We also added sesame balls which I loved. There are so many choices though that I'll need to go back again. The people were so nice and patient with us. There's cute seating inside too to enjoy your dessert. Will be back to the something else!

    I looked high and low for an ice monster replacement. The picture, description and price made it seem like their shaved ice was made from real juice ice blocks, boy did i feel TRICKED out of a 20 dollar chunks of pure ICE! It was nothing but a mount of large ice chunks, masked by slapping a layer of sugary syrup over it. The ice chunks were as large as a wonton!!! So horrible.

    Great little find on the lower deck of the Ala Moana Center near the Starbucks on the Foodland side of the mall. This place serves huge over the top ice shaved desserts. They don't skimp on the portions or calories but the presentation is over the top and delicious. One dessert can serve 2-3 easily. Lots of seating on tables in a clean airy setting with friendly service.

    Tried Meet Fresh for dessert after AYCA since it's nearby. Nice setting. Since we used the self serve kiosk to order, we never interacted with the staff. We got the mango-strawberry which looked pretty. It was a big portion that can easily be shared by 2-3 people. The only negative is that at the end, it tends to be overly sweet and when the shaved ice melt it feels like your drinking syrup. At $20, it seems more expensive than comprable places.

    I've been a longtime fan of Meet Fresh, but the quality has seriously gone downhill. The desserts don't taste as good as they used to. On top of that, service feels rushed and inconsistent compared to before. Meet Fresh used to be a place I'd happily recommend, but lately it feels like they're cutting corners and letting poor quality desserts be served. This past time I got a fully melted bowl of shave ice it was like drinking soup couldn't finish it and threw it away. Probably won't be coming back unless things improve.

    The description for this place really sums it up well. Love that they're open late night. I'm not used to the mall closing at 8pm so when we are out, a nice refreshing dessert is perfect. We usually get a fresh fruit shaved ice but decided to try the azuki/boba one this time. This was shared amongst 6 of us and we still could barely finish the Large. It's great that it's not too heavy. Maybe not be the best quality but definitely convenient! The place gets pretty packed at nice. I love that there are three different ways to order: cashier, kiosk, or your phone. Highly recommend downloading the app for rewards!

    From boba drinks to ice cream desserts everything here was so good. Only down side to it , is that since new D&B opened up here. It's so hard to find parking. Great service , they will call your number when your order is ready. Although tables can be cleaned better. Also have lots of sitting space too.

So I looked on Yelp and was able to find this location of Uluani's which, while close to Waikiki, is not in the chaos of Waikiki. In any case, for my shave ice on this day I went with an ulu and chose lilikoi and coconut as my two flavors. My father also went with an ulu and chose grape, lime, and coconut as his flavors. The ice here was shaved super thin and, as usual, I loved the flavors. The coconut at Uluani's is creamy with a nice coconut flavor while the lilikoi is both sharp and sweet, which makes for a great combo. My father also enjoyed his combination, which included flavors I had never tried from Uluani's before. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As I have stated in other reviews before, I consider Uluani's to be the standard for shave ice and this visit only reinforced that.

In fact, there are no tables inside, just a counter to order from and a display case full of ice cream. For my shave ice on this evening I went with my usual, half lilikoi and half coconut. After ordering, the girl working the counter said "ube, right?" and I corrected her to coconut. Somehow I still ended up with ube and coconut. Since I enjoy ube and there was a line behind me, I didn't say anything and just went with it. The shave ice here ended up being really good. It was super finely shaved and I continue to love their use of natural flavors, which was both the coconut and ube. The ube brought an earthy undertone with a subtle sweetness while the coconut had a creamy, rich flavor. Overall it was a good shave ice, though I do wish I had the brightness of the lilikoi to cut through some of that richness. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Ululani's is still the standard for me when it comes to shave ice and aside from the flavor mix up, it didn't disappoint.
