    Storefront... that gigantic cup of boba... wow!
    Nadine C.

    Refreshing beverage in Waipahu, O'ahu, Hawaii... That gigantic cup of boba caught our attention! It is at the Waikele Premium Outlets location of Taste Tea - on the Lowe's side of the outlet! Located near Petco, almost next to Leonard's Malasadamobibe, this Taste Tea is a food truck! Service is efficient and friendly! When asked for my name, I said, "Hello Kitty", with no problems! I took my Lychee Black iced tea (one of the recommended beverages) to go... there's no real seating area in the parking lot. There's a nice breeze, but the noises from the freeway aren't really pleasant... haha! This is just a convenient location! Tip: remember to enter your phone number onto their system to get credit for a free drink!

    Cold peach black tea with boba
    Varvara L.

    Taste Tea at the Waikele Outlets is a fun stop before starting a shopping trip. The menu is huge, with lots of choices. I would recommend to ask about sweetness levels. I got the peach tea with boba and asked for 30% sugar (thanks to the staff's advice). The boba isn't the best I've ever had, but still pretty good. There's no seating right by the truck, but you can walk over to the Safeway area to sit. One small warning: the cups are on the thinner side.My husband's cup cracked once when he squeezed too hard. Overall, tasty drinks and friendly service make it a nice treat before shopping.

    Surprise to see how much boba they put in each drink. We got blended fruity pebbles and blended chocolate. The fruity pebbles was good and the blended chocolate was so so it was like chocolate milk with blended ice. Unfortunately the drinks were not blended thoroughly so we ended up with chunks of ice at the bottom. As for service it was fast and quick but I gotta say the girl taking our drink order had a bad attitude!! She sighed after we asked if the drinks came with boba, saying it already comes with boba but did you want anymore toppings added! Then asked how sweet we wanted it, and requested 75%, then she quickly said, 0,50, or 100!! Sorry the menu says 0, 25, 50, 75, or 100!! If they only offered 0, 50, or 100 then make corrections on the menu. Customer service needs more improvement. Side note they should check under their truck, there is a dead fat rat rotting!!

    Brown sugar milk tea

    Ordered a brown sugar milk tea and came with a hair sealed inside. Workers not using hairnets. This is just downright disgusting.

    Signature milk tea 25% small boba light ice.
    Jacob M.

    The milk tea has changed a bit. This place used to be one of my go-tos but now not really. I typically get my drink 25% but this one tastes like 0%. I like the small boba as the topping and they finally had it whereas the other times I have came here they always ran out. Service is average and expected. Make sure you check the hours before going.

    winter melon iced tea with boba, light ice
    Lexi H.

    service was good, drink was bad :( don't order boba, ask for a HALF SERVING, this is 1 serving and it filled up half my cup :( I questioned them and they said it was normal. Also don't do light ice, because that means no ice.

    Quick & friendly service. Cute truck parked at Waikele shopping center. Chewy boba & cool refreshing drinks!

    Cereal Taste Tea Classic Milk Tea
    Megan K.

    I was craving boba on my shopping trip so I decided to stop by. The cereal milk tea caught my eye and I knew I had to try it. The boba was sweet and chewy, the milk tea tasted like fruity pebbles, and it was really creamy. The women working were very friendly and my order didn't take long at all! It's just a small food truck, so they were out of some things but overall, really well and the price is average.

    The teas were diluted and didn't taste good. The 50% sweet made me wonder how sweet the 100% must be. Matcha latte - the matcha was not mixed well. There were many little matcha curds/bits floating in my drink. The little boba were clumped together too. 4/10 Brown sugar milk tea - not enough milk or tea for that matter. Very odd taste. Nobody wanted to finish it. 4/10 Strawberry milk tea - ice blended was not an option. I ordered it for my niece. She took it home to blend with extra ice but I think nobody likes it either. Probably also 4/10 The girls were really friendly and the drinks were made super fast though. It's a shame the teas were meh.

    Thai Tea with Thai Walls
    Kyla R.

    I've been coming here for years! I always order their Fruity Pebbles Milk Tea with Boba. I wanted to try something different, so I ordered their Thai tea with Thai walls with boba and it was delicious. The condensed milk with thai tea was excellent. I definitely want to try their other drinks.

    Menu as of 1/25/23
    Kaila A.

    I've been to this Taste tea several times already & only now I'm doing a review (fail) it's location is convenient to me & although there is other boba places around I love my taste tea! They are located in the waikele shopping center near old navy & conveniently located next to other popular trucks like Leonard's malasadas & mountain magic shave ice I believe. They close pretty early @ around 6. I always get my go to which is a brown sugar milk tea w/Thai walls, no boba. Yes, I like boba shops but don't order boba in my drinks :') lol I ask them to always put the walls on the bottom of my cup as well bc I like to have some of the walls with each sip. They always accommodate my add on requests with no problem so that's why I also love it here. They've been out of blended drinks for awhile now which Is a little bummer but they still have lots to choose from. 10/10 would recommend.

    Fruity Pebbles.
    Crystal K.

    Yuuumm... Had couple of drinks from here now, and I still look forward to try so many more of the flavors they offer. My favorite drink so far is the lychee iced tea with spring tea and small boba! It's a very refreshing drink. I like going to boba places that offer more choices rather than just the regular size boba. I like the small boba sometimes, less chewing. I also enjoy coming here because they are fast and friendly.

    Taro milk tea
    Raymond M.

    Got the dairy free taro milk tea. They ran out of the regular boba pearls so I ended up with the small boba balls. The boba was soft and chewy, unlike other spots. Perfect balance, not too sweet and not too bland.

Love that they put the spice level beside each item for a heads up the staff here is nice and as they were more flooded with orders than I realized as they do take phone orders it did take a bit for my order. Since I was dining right there among the bench it didn't need to be separated and loved that it was served on a tray along with a side of kimchee yum the ramyun had a soft cooked egg and some carrots a nice and simple snack which gave me much needed boost though as it was basically no different than a bowl of instant noodle this was crazy overpriced and glad that I didn't get the soft tofu which was $13.50 which I didn't need that type of spice in my life.

The chicken was crispy and juicy and the pork was tender. The meatballs were a little salty with the sauce, but just eat a lot of rice! The moko isn't a patty, it's just their meatballs.

Corn was a nice side, along with two scoops of rice. Service was okay. I asked what "Mops" stood for - it's slang for "eating". The cashier made an eating motion... LOL!

It was sure good to be back, and I am happy for their business to have its own place where customers can sit, not just takeout. They are now located near West Loch station by Mickey D's and Seafood City [the shops West Loch station). I live in Honolulu but it was sure worth it to take the rail to satisfy my sisig craving. I ordered their pork sisig with rice, and it sure was still delish! Pro tip for the business is using calamansi instead of lemon (but still good!). My order seems like it is for just one person but honestly, if you share it with another person, you'd still be satisfied because it is stomach-heavy! If you didn't have much to eat throughout the day, you could easily demolish the sisig dish I ordered. For drinks, they have canned sodas inside for $2.00 but I decided to get some smoothies at Hang's just doors down the place. As the parking spot may fill up, you can always drop a buddy off to pick up some to-go order. I have yet to try some of their other dishes such as their beef pares noodles. So--if you are craving ramen--try switching it up and get some of their noodles! I also recommend getting bulk orders for parties! Mahalo and I hope this business continues to reap success!

I ordered their pork sisig with egg which cost me about $23 including tip. I'd say it was worth the cost given the portion size and the deliciousness of the pork sisig. The one thing I did not like was the Rice my plate came with. It was very wet and mushy which sucked because it killed the enjoyment of the pork sisig for me. Also, service from the cashier was not very friendly when I asked her a question, maybe she was not having a good morning. Idk. Anyways aside from that, everything else was good. Location is easy to get too, lots of convenient parking outside and dining area was very clean and up to date trendy. I do have plans to return to try their beef pares! That looks Ono too. Hope I get a better experience next time. It wasn't that bad of an experience, so I'd still recommend this place to friends and family because their pork sisig was delicious! Make sure to squeeze the lemon on top gives it extra flavor.
