    2. Strawberry Smoothie

    Over priced and small. Boba had no taste. No customer service not even a hello when you're ordering. Place is a small business.

    I'm disappointed at how the price of this milk tea vs the size that I got! And it was strange that they also added ice into their milk tea. The boba was overcooked, very chewy. The lady was very nice. The ambiance was cute.

    Mango Smoothie with Boba Papaya Smoothie with jelly....so sweet!
    Dee A.

    My friend and I were walking around Waikiki and had a boba craving. The closest place Yelp took us was this place. I was disappointed to find out that they specialize more on smoothies and blended drinks rather than milk teas. I was actually craving for some milk tea with boba or even fruit tea, but instead they recommended their fruit smoothies. My friend got their Papaya Smoothie with boba, and I got their Mango Smoothie with boba and jelly that came standard (no extra charge for the jellies) with the drink. There was one lady at the store who was very friendly and talkative who made the recommendations. We were so immersed in our conversation that I forgot to request to adjust their sugar level. The drinks came out too sweet! If it wasn't for the lovely and friendly service, I probably would give this place 2-star because I couldn't take a second sip of their drink. It was cloyingly sweet! My drink went to waste as a result. My friend liked her papaya smoothie, but she said, it was also way too sweet, but not as sweet as my drink. So, she finished half of hers. I would still recommend this place, but if you're like me that's not into overly sweetened drinks, be sure to adjust their sweetness level.

    Maybe 3 sips and it's gone with a huge chunk of ice and all the boba sitting on top of the ice.

    My daughter wanted boba and I knew this place across from where we live. We had never tried it and thought we'd give it a chance since it was so close. Walked in and the place had a strange aroma to it. Almost like a Chinese medicine shop. The guy behind the counter greeted us and we took our time to look over the menu. We settled on 3 boba drinks, a classic milk tea with boba, a mango tea with boba, and a Thai tea with boba. All the drinks were pre-made in a container that he pulled out from the fridge. One by one the drinks were being poured and served. They didn't look anything like the photos. They were in a plain clear plastic cup with a pop on lid. No big deal as long as it taste good right? Well none of the drinks were very good. Worst of all, my daughter's drink, who was the one who really wanted the boba drink, had a huge solid chunk of ice in it. We couldn't even insert the straw in the drink. We took our drinks and left. Before we could even walk past the business, my daughter's drink was gone. She had taken a few sips and it was all ice!!! I went right back in and showed him the drink he had served us and all he could say was, oh would you like another one? I said no and wanted a refund on her drink. Also, they have a sign that said 15% off for Kama'aina. We said oh they have Kama'aina the minute we walked in and saw the sign. I mentioned it to him as he rang up the total. When he handed me his phone for the credit card authorization, there was no discount given. I said it again that we were Kama'aina and showed him my ID again and he gave us back only 10% back. I took the two bucks and left. Then came back for the refund and he only refunded me another $5 for a total of $7. I didn't want to waste any more time and frustration with him and took my $7 and left. Basically, no discount given at this point. Ended up going down the street and bought her a huge boba drink with a happy hour discount for the $7 and still had change leftover. Will never come back! Terrible business! Wish it could have been a better experience.

    Boba Milk Tea

    I really wanted to give this place a better review, but the boba just really ain't it. The milk tea was pre made so you can't adjust the sugar level. The boba was hard. I personally think that if you're selling boba tea and the tapioca is hard, that just means you haven't figured it out. It may have just been that the boba has been lying around for hours since there wasn't that much foot traffic there. Didn't try the musubi, but from the other reviews they say it's good.

    Such a small shop in Waikiki it would be easy to miss. Looking forward to a boba slush and Musubi Boba came up in my search. Fresh fruit was a welcome start cause, Hawaii! She made us fresh mochi donut hole while we were waiting and omg it was a great snack with my ice cold taro slush. My friend got the papaya slush, love the fresh fruit options!

    The milk tea and boba was bad. It was also pretty expensive and overall not worth it.

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.

    Not for us! Have…read morebeen ordering shave ice almost all my life and the people behind the counter were confused on what I was ordering... strange!

We heard about Ululani's from a few locals and thought we would give it a try. We stopped in and were warmly greeted by the nice young lady at the counter.

I am so happy to be here for a few more days so I can go back! Highly Reccommended!

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.
