    I am sad to give 3 stars review as food was good although it took awhile. My entree was Crying belly. There was more of starch than protein. Tiny pyramid, chocolate mousse, was good. We got another dessert but it tasted old. The service and ambiance were just not there. I like to believe maybe we came here on a wrong evening. I book marked this place a long time but the location is kind of out of the way. It's located across from Liliha Bakery in two story building full of home interior stores like Abbey's Carpet. They have extensive desserts on display inside the restaurant but all the sittings are outside, open air but covered. With that said, if you don't mind the plastic smell from all the interior home interior stores you might like this place. It's quiet and peaceful. Parking is free.

    Great hidden treasure. Parking no problem. Amazing array of desserts! Nice variety of dishes. Thai, French, Italian and more! The chef is very personable. My sister and I enjoyed every bite.

    Tiramisu was ok, tiny n lacking coffee taste. Cranberry oat meal cookies were super bland didn't have any cranberries in any of the cookies 2 of 5 that I ate. I didn't get to try there regular food only rested dessert from Uber Eats

    Fruit Tart
    Meesh T.

    I always come here for desserts and they have never disappointed my taste buds. I called last minute for a full-sized fruit tart and chef held it for me to come by after hours since he was working late. What customer service! The fruit tart itself was a beautiful work of art and delicious! Now that I'm writing this review I want to go down there and get another one. It was so good! Highly recommended!

    A find at the Tiny Pyramid... With so many places to see and experience Tiny Pyramid was one place that I had yet to try and it's probably seeing many seafood (allergic) on their menu that I haven't given them a chance though yes they do have several other options the choices are quite limited. On this day it was for a relaxing dessert time and after seeing all the various treats it was the perfect time to give them a peek and as they're located in the Nā Lama Kukui which is just before City Mill has lots of parking it was easy to find...much easier than my choices of desserts. As I entered the shop I wasn't prepared to see so many various desserts in their display case from the classic red velvet to the famous Chocolate Pyramid as each dessert done so beautifully so artful and each different in flavor I'm very impressed with the choices though sadly the rest of the shop is like an afterthought with a huge Grab N Go and Sip pricing signs though I'm sure all was great it didn't do much for me as the vibe was meh. I decided on a Lilikoi Iced Tea and Banana Haupia which I just couldn't resist to which we pay first and suggest cash or debit as they charge 3% for credit card transactions we then sat outside as the staff was to bring our orders to us and my tea was in a mason jar is a nice and very refreshing sip on this hot afternoon was very much needed and the Banana Haupia was a very very light and airy bite could I taste the banana...honestly not really but it was yummy and I thoroughly enjoyed it all as to just sip and relax was very nice and comforting. Thank you!

    Half and crab cake sandwich and salad! The dressing is bomb.

    Omg omg, this place is wonderful!! This is a hidden little sweet place that has a great food and amazing sweets. My only real complaint and it's not a bad one, I thought my cappuccino wasn't the best. Tasted more like an instant taste, but this could be a me issue. We ordered the strawberry shortcake, the tiny chocolate pyramid a cappuccino and a crab cake sandwich with an accompanying salad. $42 Service was fast and the lady working was kind and helpful and so nice. This place is hidden in a strip mall area. So you park and walk inside the mall. Its shaded and cool and adorable and has ample seating.

    Interesting menu with Asian fusion items and a wide selection of desserts to choose from behind a glass case. The location is pretty interesting, inside a business plaza with home furnishing stores, show rooms, interior design stuff, piano planet, a ballet academy, etc. and then there's a restaurant with tables outside in the hallway. We didn't think there would be people on a Wednesday night but we're wrong! Few tables were already occupied when we got there and more people were arriving after us! A lot of interesting things on the menu, so we decided to do the 4 course meal. They got a lot of lobster offerings so it's definitely tempting to just choose everything lobster. We almost did but didn't! We got two 4-course meals - lobster pad thai, poached lobster with fettuccine, soft shell crab, baked oysters, cream of corn soup and desserts from the glass case (azuki, le café and chocolate pyramid). The lobster was cooked well without being rubbery and was seasoned well too. Not the best lobster, but quite decent. The taste of the pad Thai was good, but the tofu wasn't very fresh. I wish the sauce on the fettuccine was a little thicker and creamier, it's almost like a milky sauce. The soft shell crab was just one piece and it was small. I think we got it because it's something other than lobster. The oysters were tiny after they're cooked and it was just mayo on top, it could use some garnish? The star of the show was definitely the cream of corn soup. So good!!! I could eat 2 bowls of those. I also enjoyed their famous chocolate pyramid. It's like a thick mousse with cocoa powder on top. The cake part of their desserts was a bit dry. Overall I enjoyed the meal. Their menu has other interesting items I wanna try so I think I'll come back!

    Lovely... I had forgotten how lovely Tiny Pyramid is especially on a Sunday. Sat down with my forever friends and was greeted by the warmest and attentive waitress (I forgot to get her name). On Sunday, it's bit calmer and you feel like you have the whole place to yourself. The place is clean and open with a few tables so I recommend reservations especially on busy days. Food here is a work of art with delicious cuisine and an array of amazing artisan desserts. We opted for the four course meal with the first choice between garden green salad or a nice bowl of corn chowder which was delicate and lovely. Next the appetizers section had many choices. Some of chose the escargot and others selected the lobster which was nice and yet filling. The third course was the main dishes. An array of amazing choices- I chose the opakapaka which was served with a steamed baby bok and creamy fettuccine while my friends ordered their signature deconstructed fisherman's pot pie. Fourth and last course (Thank goodness I saved room for their abundant and lovely desserts)- like the mango peach and my friends chose the strawberry cheese and Signature light and airy chocolate pyramid...

    Fettuccine with chicken
    Karen S.

    Artful presentation of delectable foods await you, including a plethora of eye catching and delicious desserts! We enjoyed attentive service (note: our server even asked the chef for milder sauce - without my asking for it - and came back to ask if I'd prefer switching my order back), well-filled water glasses, a terrific looking menu (sorry, no photos), and perfectly simple airplant table decorations that looked so real my colleague tried to confirm it by touch. Table service is directly outside of the dessert store, while servers place their main orders through a window. The "mall" has many small stores, but the spacious walkway means no one is "in your dining space". Our office staff ordered curries and fettuccine dishes, and I ordered the Fisherman's pot pie. Everyone enjoyed their entrees! Naturally, dessert here is a must! I tried to attach a video of all the gorgeous hand made desserts they offer in the refrigerated case, including packaged cookies to go, which are displayed against the ewa wall. However, there are so many I couldn't trim it for posting;( Our staff had Le cafe (coffee mousse), a tiny pyramid (dark chocolate dusted mousse), raspberry/pistachio torte, fruit basket, azuki haupia, and chocolate macadamia torte. Wow! (Our server hand made each coffee that was ordered to complement the desserts.) They ask you to check your bill for errors, and they quickly rectified one for us. I personally can't wait to return and try another entree and dessert!

    Seating is outdoors, so be aware of flies. Ambiance is pretty nice here, lighting is great for this little place with background music playing. We came here for lunch and ordered a few items. Lao roll - this is good. Flavor of the curry chicken with the dressing of the salad goes well with both. Would recommend. J'jun curry with chicken - if you like spicy, then this is for you. Flavors of the curry is good. The curry is buttery tasting with heat. Would recommend. Green curry - same as the J'jun curry but not as spicy. Flavor is good as well. Would recommend. Thai Thai noodles - there was no flavor in this. Not like other Thai restaurants where there is some spice to it. We had to ask for sirracha to make it taste a bit better. Would not recommend. Overall, service is pretty decent here. We did have to request for more water tho. Other than that, would highly recommend this place to grab some deserts and lunch, since their hours of operation for lunch is from 11 to 3PM. But they are usually open till 9PM.

    Tiny Pyramid is a wonderful culinary experience. Casual dining at lunch. We enjoyed the soft shelled crab appetizer ($15), J Jun Curry with chicken ($18), and the cream of corn soup ($5), in the outdoor dining area. I also ordered a few desserts to go. I throughly enjoyed the soft shelled crab, salad, and cream of corn soup. The curry was flavorful and spicy. Food overall: 4/5 stars Service was great and friendly here. I was fortunate to meet Chef JJ and Keo Luangkhot. Both are personable and they answered any questions I had about the menu and desserts. 5/5 stars Tiny Pyramid is located in the Na Lama Kukui Center (Old Pacific Gentry Center). Free parking for the restaurant is located in the Center. Bathrooms are located in the building and you will need a code to gain entrance.

Then someone walked by with a matcha drink and I knew I needed to check out Panday's booth. There was a small line of customers and the guy was working hard to chat with people, collect payments and make drinks. When it was my turn, I ordered the "Biko" coffee which is their special Filipino rice/coconut/condensed milk coffee. He said he probably didn't have enough and I should look over the menu to see if I had a second choice. I chose the banana matcha and he said he didn't have any banana syrup.
