    Their honeydew smoothie was good. There's a lot of different flavors to choose from.

    If I could give this place no stars I would. My girlfriend and I are bubble tea lovers. We tried here after shopping at Ala Moana. This place is no where near the rich, tasting, creamy drinks from other places on the island. Plus, their staff makes all the teas in big buckets. Yuck!

    Saw the great reviews and figured we would give it a try. But the flavors on all 3 of our drinks we ordered were way off.

    Wanted to try this place, seemed popular. One of the items I tried was the Li Hung Mui Potato Fries. Yummerz! Wanted to order another one but had to hold back!

    We drove to this boba place instead of walking to one right next door because we saw photos of the split cups and were very excited to try them. However, when we arrived we were disappointed to find out that they no longer offer those. The tea and boba was pretty average.

    Best milk tea in the 808 taste is clean and high quality. All their drinks show the R&D that went into perfecting them. Matcha latte is also the bomb.

    Smaller menu but yummy choices and the boba was yum. They have the smaller and the larger tapioca pearls. It's right next to manicihi

    I love bubble/boba/milk tea. Whatever you call it, I love it. And I come to this taste tea location often because the location is convenient for me. I am sad to say that I will start going out of my way to get boba somewhere else such as Momo tea or Hana tea. The employees at this location always seem to be having a bad day and i rarely walk out of there with my correct order. I like to get the mustache no bbba with brown sugar walls. But each time I go in there the employee taking my order doesn’t understand what i mean by brown sugar walls, i have been told that i can’t get brown sugar walls in drinks other than the brown sugar milk tea, and i have been told that to get brown sugar walls in my drink i need to ask for Thai walls but today when i ordered that l ended up with sweetened condensed milk in my drink.The quality and service is sub par and inconsistent. :( (this review is for the taste tea location next to Ala Moana, I have been to the other two taste tea location and they are always friendly and know exactly how to make the drink I order.) Sorry for the long review. I hope this helps some people. I highly recommend Momo tea and Hana tea if you want quality drinks, especially for their milk/foam/cheese cap.

    This boba shop was the fastest and most inexpensive place I've been to. As soon as we ordered the drink was served in 10 seconds. Their flavour choices were interesting and I would try them another time. I got the a large brown sugar milk tea with boba and it was only $5.75. Overall, amazing place.

    the tea is 5 stars but the employees there don't know what customer service is. I've been there at least 6-7 times and every time the person taking my order doesn't say a word, doesn't ask if I want a receipt and 0 interaction other than asking the sweetness of my drink. It's never the same employee either. This place could be so much better if the employees just acknowledged the customers presence.
