    Worker "Avery" provided amazing customer service. She worked diligently and had my order ready in just a couple of seconds.

    Was craving boba one night and was hanging out at Kahala mall so I walked over to shartea. I've been before a while back but this review is on my most recent visit. I decided to try their mango and passion fruit tea with mini pearls. The drink was made pretty quick since the place one was empty. The tea was a little on the sweeter side so maybe I'd order it with 50% sweetness the next time. There's tables and chairs outside to enjoy your tea on if you'd like.

    I do like coming here for their delicious drinks. I also like that you can choose your sugar and ice levels even though I don't think they know what less ice means. Staff is friendly and it is clean. However, I'm not a huge fan on some of their "company policies." I don't really like how you can't split a drink into 2 separate cups when you are ordering for kids. I have even asked to pay extra for the cup but was told the answer is NO. They do not offer kids sizes. Today, I ordered a drink but did not want the ice cream. Staff said I could pick a different topping so I chose boba. I said I wanted the boba in my other drink and she told me NO. How does that make any sense. You are going to give me boba which I am already paying for but you control which drink I am allowed to put it in??? I truly do not understand this concept. With the amount of boba and tea options growing the priority should be customer satisfaction. I wasn't very pleased with my last visit here. They have way too many rules and restrictions for a boba shop.

    i've heard SO many mixed reviews about Sharetea in Hawaii so i was hesitant to try it for the longest time but since I'm doing a TikTok review of every single boba shop on the island, I figured I'd have to try it eventually. I got the QQ Happy Family Milk Tea ($6.35) which is a black milk tea with pretty much all the regular toppings. There was WAY too much boba and not enough of everything else, and while I do appreciate the variety of textures and flavors, the cup was like 60% toppings which i wasn't a fan of. I got it with half sweetness and it was still pretty sweet so i'd recommend going lower if you have an asian palette like me. The milk tea itself had a nice rich and milky flavor. The boba was very soft and from the few sips of custard i had, i think it was good too! Happy it was okay but not a place I think i'd really ever crave.

    Milk Tea for dessert in Kahala, Honolulu, Hawaii... After a solid lunch in Waikiki, my friend, Paul C., suggested that we go to Sharetea (in the annex next to Kahala Mall) because his coworkers rave about the crisp tea flavor. Sure! I'll try it! PARKING: it is a tight, but free, parking lot, shared with other eateries such as BRUG Bakery and McDonald's. SERVICE: polite and efficient ENVIRONMENT: there is outdoor dining. Inside is quite cozy, so customers were waiting outside for their orders. I got the Classic Black Milk Tea which is non-dairy. I asked for half sweet, light ice, and no boba because that would be an additional charge and more calories... LOL! It was a refreshing experience! I would return if I was in the area! Welcome to Kahala Mall, Sharetea! Note: sign up for the Five Stars program for special incentives

    Classic Black Milk Tea, hold the pearls

    With milk tea joints popping up all over Oahu, the competition is getting tough. I tend to have my favorites in the immediate town area but thanks to fellow Elite Sherrie K. who brought me a classic black milk tea one day. She spoke highly of Sharetea and wanted me to try them. It had such a bold tea essence where I was immediately sold on the first sip. Located in Kahala Mall with neighbors of Brug Bakery, Jersey Mike's Subs and Domino's, Sharetea hails from Taiwan as they started business in 1992. Since then, Sharetea has expanded into 18 countries and has over 1000 stores worldwide. There are about 30 locations in US with America's headquarters located in New York City. What makes Sharetea unique is that they utilize high quality tea leaves that is shipped directly from Taiwan. After a recent brunch that had me full, the subject of dessert popped up and I suggested we come to Sharetea to cool down from the warm weather. We luckily scored parking in the awkwardly tight parking lot in front of this area. My friend and I were pleasantly surprised to have witnessed a line of people waiting inside and outside of Sharetea. Impressive. I pretty much had my mind set as I wanted the black milk tea again but this time with 30% sweetness (compared to previous 50%). My friend, who is lactose intolerant asked the staff if they use dairy milk in their milk teas. As advertised, Sharetea uses a non-dairy creamer on milk teas so my friend also ordered the black milk tea but at 50% sweetness level. I was surprised there were only 3 staff on shift during our stay, which resulted in a waiting time to order and to pick up. It was a Sunday with no major plans for me with the exception of an afternoon nap - - I was in no rush. Eventually our number was called and we got our drinks. My black milk tea was as tasty just as I had remembered. I really appreciate the bold tea flavor and being able to adjust the sweetness level. Overall, a very pleasant first experience at this storefront where I'm sure I'll be back again. My office isn't too far from Sharetea so with the fivestars reward program, this gives me an incentive for return visits. NOTE: I'm kicking myself for not drinking any milk tea during my trip to Taiwan in 2018. I for sure will make my milk tea rounds when I visit Taiwan again because I'll be paying a fraction of the price of what milk teas cost in Hawaii.

    Milk Tea Slush

    I really enjoyed my drink! I got the milk tea slush and it was amazing. Flavor was great and the sweetness was perfect. I wasn't too impressed with r the boba though because it was too chewy and bland!

    Apparently it's a popular chain but coming out of my Covid-19 rock bubble I thought it was newly opened. Located on the outer Kahala Mall lot surprisingly this is the only tea place in the area. It's too humid today so I needed my fruit tea ASAP! Again never been here so I had SO many questions. *First of all I asked if they have a mixed fruit tea...NO *Whats in your Hawaii Fruit tea...mumbles...!? I dunno *What is Aiyu? No response Drinks comes in one size many you don't have a choice of tea and description of what type of tea is used other than ice and sweetness level it seems like you are to order it how it comes. I felt I've annoyed them so I just decided on Passion fruit, Orange and grapefruit tea since I know what's in it...but I don't know what type of tea (green or black) is used, ordered lightly sweet and no ice (because light is NEVER light) it was SWEEEEET!!! It tasted like a premixed Hawaiian Sun fruit tea it was made literally in seconds. Looking at the menu I had a bad feeling but really want to give them a try and sadly I just need to taste the tea and I couldn't, I was good but just being sweet isn't enough and I couldn't taste the tea or individual fruit that was supposed to be represented in the drink. I did love that they had mini boba it was perfect, thank you!!

    Peach Tea with Aiyu jelly.

    Decided to try Share Tea for the first time at the Kahala Location. I found parking right away. Not many people clamoring to eat lunch at 11 am. Reviewed the menu and decided on tea drink with fruit vs milk. Ordered the Peach Green Tea with Aiyu Jelly with 30 percent sweetness. I would order it again. Not too sweet. Lots of the jelly pieces and I liked the taste of the peach. Definitely would hire people that smile, say thank you, and show more interest in their job. It would definitely help make the customer's experience a positive one. Although Sharetea does not tables to sit at inside of the shop, there were ample tables outside in the community area.

    Been here maybe four times in the last month? We've tried a different tea/flavor each time and they've all been quite good/not bad. Pearl Milk Tea with Oolong - I think their version is a bit of an acquired taste. Probably won't get it again. 50% sweetness is ok since oolong is a little bitter to begin with (I think). Classic Pearl Milk Tea - to me, 50% is equivalent to how a regular sweet (i.e. 100%) tea should be. I was still able to taste the tea. I would probably go 30% next time I order this. Hawaii Fruit Tea with Aiyu Jelly - thanks to the staff who warned me that the fig-based jelly is already sweetened, I asked for 30% sweetness. But it's still super sweet! Also, there's the jelly (like the kind you spread on toast) that flavors the drink and the lightly-flavored jello-type jelly that's added for texture. I would try it at 0% sweetness next time. Coffee Milk Tea - 30% sweetness was just nice for me! With mini boba, the drink was gone pretty quickly. ($6.81 with tax) Milk Tea Ice Blended with Pearl - 50% is still quite sweet, but man the ice blended is so good! I think this is the classic milk tea but blended in ice, and for an extra dollar or so. ($7.28 with tax) Wintermelon Tea - just like at other boba tea shops. I think the challenge with customization of sweetness levels is that taste is so subjective, and asking the staff may not be helpful since only you would know what's the perfect level of sweetness for you. I don't like my drinks too sweet so I usually start at 50% at new-ish places until I figure out their standard. Each time we've gone it's been relatively quiet/no lines, and we get our drinks really fast. I think the drinks are pretty pricey though. The ice blended drink is $7! Service can be friendly but it can also be perfunctory. The boba texture has been quite consistent so that's a plus! I like the chewiness and bounce of the regular size ones; I also like the mini boba. Haven't tried their other toppings ($0.75 each) 3.75 stars. I wouldn't call this a favorite but we'll probably return mostly because tbh we'll stop by this little strip mall anyway for food options on our way to the beach (for snacks) or from the beach (for dinner). Parking can be a challenge with the way the lot is designed and also depending which direction you enter the lot; if you have a big or long vehicle I recommend parking in the structure meant for Kahala Mall and walking over. #45

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.
