    Strawberry black iced tea
    Maritess C.

    I decided to come here after starting my new job nearby. I got the strawberry black iced tea no boba. This drink was delicious and refreshing. So good.. I didn't realize they also sold food here as well.. Maybe next time I will have to try it out. Looks good. If i like the food, they get 5 stars. Please be aware you have to pay for parking because there's a paying booth to pay parking. You could validate your parking at the booth in the small shack in the middle. The inside was clean and menus on the wall. Pretty cool. Highly recommend for drinks. The lady gave me a stamp card. Pretty cool. I may try more drinks here next time..

    MOLDY BROCCOLI

    I ordered from this place through Uber Eats a few weeks ago and forgot to leave a review. The meal I received had MOLDY BROCCOLI on almost all the broccoli on my plate! I reported it to Uber Eats and provided photos, but they refused to issue a refund without valid reason. I'll attach the pictures here. Please be extremely cautious when ordering from this restaurant--quality control clearly isn't a priority.

    I went to this place years ago,but I think they're under new management now. The drink is way better than before. The seats are a bit high, but the sky was nice to look at out the window during sunset. There are a lot of choices and prices are about what you expect to pay for boba. I feel like they are the best boba in the area. Will go to again.

    This place sells boba and Chinese food. There is a wide selection of teas and drinks. Parking is a little tight for the University Plaza. If you're in the area to shop, this is a good place to get a drink or snack immediately after. Tabletop and stool seating in air conditioning.

    Vegan Chow Mein

    We were craving for some boba and haven't tried this place out just yet, even though they've been around for quite some time. There's ample parking in front of the shop, and also street parking if it gets filled. When you go inside the shop, there is a huge drink menu to the right wall, food menu on the left wall, register up front and center with tables and chairs scattered around. The drink menu is quite overwhelming, with so many different choices to choose from, so it took us a minute to digest. We finally settled on a taro iced milk drink that comes with 2 toppings and a Jasmine green tea. You can choose the sweetness levels on your beverages, but we opted to keep it 100% as is. Both drinks were made promptly (there were only 2 other people waiting for their orders in the meantime). We also ordered a vegan chow mein, though I don't know what the meat substitutes were inside of the dish. I just wish that there were a little more descriptions on the food menu portion. The chow mein wasn't bad, it just wasn't what I was expecting. All in all, the people that work here are very nice and accommodating. They're also very thankful for your business, which is a big plus with customer service.

    Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... My former coworker and I had a discussion about vegan Chinese cuisine... Some Chinese are Buddhist and follow a vegan diet. Some Chinese eat "everything" such as pig's feet, beef tongue, chicken gizzards, etc. Just think about dimsum: lots of shrimp and pork dishes! I googled "Vegan Chinese food in Honolulu" and found QQ Tea House. I had been to QQ Tea House many years ago when I picked up my nieces after school and got them some boba tea as a treat. I still had the Loyalty Card from that first visit! I knew that the parking lot is shared with Uyeda Shoe Store and a nail salon... And that the shop is the end unit of a strip of businesses. We arrived around 5pm. There was a lone female customer at one of the high top tables. We sat at a table across the room from her. She seemed to know the menu well and pointed out the positive things about each dish. I asked her if she worked there and she said: no... but she has tried just about everything on the menu! LOL! My former coworker and I decided to share the vegan siu mai and green onion pancakes. She got the vegan teriyaki beef and I ordered the bean curd stir-fry. Our favorite was the Green Onion Pancakes - eat them right away while they are warm with a slight outer layer crisp! Tip: use the sauce that comes with the siu mai. The teriyaki vegan beef was on the sweet side. It was amazing how they can get tofu to have the texture of beef. I liked my bean curd stir-fry a lot! The carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms added color, nutrients, and a pleasant variety to my meal! We also got beverages - which we both enjoyed! My (half sweet) Dragon Fruit green tea was just right! My friend's azuki bean milk tea reminded her of the type of drink she likes from Hong Kong! We both had a great time here and won't hesitate to return to QQ Tea House! Service was efficient and helpful! We appreciated the suggestions from the lady at the cash register! Thanks to the gentleman who brought our orders to our table! Note: the air conditioning was a bit weak. Customers must close the door behind them!

    Name me ONE place on Oahu that serves Chinese food with vegan "meats". I'll wait. I came here initially with my daughter for the boba tea, which itself is a good reason to stop by. I enjoyed the vegan Chinese stir fry so much, I came back again just for that. The dishes are actually really tasty, the "meats" are chewy, and the sauces are not greasy like a lot of regular Chinese food. You can eat this stuff and go on with your day (unlike most Chinese food, which causes massive kanak attacks). I've tried the kung pao "Chikn", the "beef" broccoli, and the tofu vegetable stir fry, and they were all delicious. Highly recommend if you want some vegan Chinese stir fry. The drinks are great too, and you can choose non-dairy milk for your milk teas.

    Fast. Friendly and tasty. Cute little small business that serves vegan food. Mock chicken was not salty but had a lot of flavor. I'm sure if you brought it to a party, they couldn't tell.

    Vegan sweet & sour ribs and Lychee & Peach green tea

    A Hidden Gem in Honolulu. If you want some of the best vegan food in Honolulu, award worthy tea, kind customer service (Rosa is AMAZING), and a quaint quiet atmosphere come to QQ tea. I love all of the flavors of green tea and the sweet and sour vegan ribs were INCREDIBLE! Go now don't wait!

    10Q QQ! Genuine teaholic I actually love their Coffee Latte lol!! Their menu being vegan and vegetarian love they have also soy and almond milk alternative. Today was Coffee Latte with a touch of almond milk and coffee jelly..woah! They do have so much combination of fun flavors and specials it's mind-blowing it's never a dull moment here as it's walls are filled with drink menus that I had a difficult time focusing. Super delightfully friendly lady I absolutely love it here with lots of parking though it looks like it's a paid parking as I saw a booth in the corner but inside QQ there's sign saying it's free for the first 15 minutes but no one was there at the time in the late afternoon so I'm not totally sure. Love my latte QQ Thank "Q"!!

    Mango Yogurt drink with Sakura Boba
    Peter N.

    Mango yogurt drink with Sakura boba was refreshing and delicious. The food menu is vegetarian. Vegetarian versions of Japanese, Chinese and local plate lunches. Great place on University.

    Update: February 12, 2021 (Lunar New Year) In the year since my last review, I found the quality of their drinks and toppings to have improved greatly! They've also added new flavors and combinations. I have come to appreciate their vegetarian and vegan food as well! It's not great for me when I'm trying to eat less carbs but oh my word I love Taiwanese style mock meats coz I grew up eating those! They are very generous with the portion size and vegetables. I also found out last night that they cut the vegetables and cook the dishes only upon ordering. I ordered jai, chow mein, and teriyaki "beef" stir fry for our lunch and dinner today for the Lunar New Year and also so I don't have to cook. The chow mein can easily feed three people! So much vegetables in it and so tasty. They also have frozen mock meats and jerky for sale.

    Well, this may not be a fancy pastry shop, they have a solid assortment of pastries, and their…read moreMalasadas are some of the best I've ever had. I highly recommend stopping in and grabbing their coconut peanut butter or macadamia nut peanut butter. They also have several other variations, including chocolate. They also offer local honey. Their peanut butter is highly sought after back in the states. So if you're here grab a combo and give it a try, you just might find yourself ordering some online once you've given it a try.

    I stopped by here yesterday morning for a coffee and a malasada. While traveling I try to hit up a…read morenew local coffee shop every day and on this morning it happened to be Maleko Coffee and Pastries. This might be one of the only places in Waikiki open at 4 AM which is perfect if you've just arrived the night before from the East Coast. The inside of the shop feels homey. They have a display case full of pastries along with additional baked goods set out nearby. For my coffee on this morning I decided to go with a coconut latte and then ordered a blueberry malasada while my father went with a custard-filled one. At Maleko, the malasadas are pre-made but not filled until you order which I think is a smart move. I first tried my blueberry malasada and thought it was good. The dough was light and fluffy and the filling had a great flavor. As for my coffee, I have to agree with other reviews that the syrup made it overly sweet. I still drank it, but I definitely would have preferred something less sweet. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again for the malasadas. As for the coffee, I would probably pass unless you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side.
