Best bowl and way bigger size than the competition
I am addicted to the OG bowl. I am a regular, sometimes 3 days a week!
Customer service is good but they don't smile or acknowledge the customer or Thank them.

One of the best places to get açaí around. They have lots of options for Açaí and Pitaya. They have an assortment of different liquid bases that you can choose from like apple juice, coconut milk, chocolate coconut and even hemp milk.
I got the Maui Sunrise and it was super good. Definitely will remain an açaí staple for me!

Ignore the bad reviews from people crying about trying to buy food 5 mins before closing. This place has some of the best açaí you could find. Prices aren’t bad either.
Saw the young kid reach into the trash and go back to making more cups. Under staffed! Waited 24 mins for my cup
This is probably the best banzai bowls I have ever had. The fruit was all very fresh and the taste was off the charts. The portion size is very large. Presentation was beautiful too. Love this place. We will be back!

The food was good. But the service and cleanliness were terrible. The girl was sitting on top of the counter with no shoes on.

The service was horrible. I asked what the difference of açaí and pitaya and she shrugged her shoulders and said I don’t know. She was not friendly or helpful. While she was making the bowls she constantly was touching her face and touching the fruit. When the bowls were ready one of them was missing strawberries and I asked and she said the paper didn’t say strawberries, I had to show her the menu that the ala Moana comes with strawberries. She was completely rude.

Great food and the guy let us order 4 bowls less than 10 minutes before close. He said he had to close the doors and we needed leave. Oh well. The bowls are delicious regardless of where we eat them.

We went out of our way to make a trip to San Clemente from Laguna to see Banzai after a friends recommendation. We arrived at 7:52pm. The place was listed as open until 8pm. We walked in to chairs are on the table and the one employee looked at the clock a couple of times and continued to clean hoping we would leave. We didn’t… We sat down until the food was made then he told my family we had to leave as they were closed, so we ate in the car.

Dietary restrictions: Not allowed to substitute any fruits, even if you have a major allergy, when did this change? Been here many times before and there was no problem in substituting fruits. Unfriendly attitudes and poor customer service. I used to recommend this place to everyone but not anymore.

This was my first visit to Banzai Bowls, and as someone who loves trying acai bowls at different places, I was excited to check this spot out. From the start, the experience was fantastic. The lady at the front desk was super friendly, and when I asked for a recommendation, she suggested some best-sellers. We decided to go with pitaya bowls, and I chose the Pupukea.
When it arrived—wow! I don’t even know how to describe it. It was absolutely delicious! Unlike acai bowls, which I sometimes skip because of their tangy berry taste, this one was made with dragon fruit purée, and it was perfect. Sweet, refreshing, and so satisfying!
I ordered a small pitaya bowl, which cost around $12, and it was more than enough for the three of us to share. Totally worth it for the portion and flavor!
The ambiance added to the experience, with upbeat pop music playing in the background and retro vibes all around. The decor features old-school metal tables and chairs with skateboards hanging on the walls—definitely a cool, laid-back vibe.
Highly recommend checking this place out for both the bowls and the atmosphere!

Please tell me which one looks like a large or small. I’m never one to leave reviews but this one really upset me. This is usually my favorite place to come. I ordered 1 large 1 small I got the bowl realized it was less than what it usually is and compared the two sizes before I asked. They looked the same. I told the employee “excuse me this was supposed to be a large” he look at it and goes “that’s a lot” at this point I didn’t want to make a scene so I just left. But like I stated I’ve been here many times and the large usually reaches the lip of the bowl.

The Açaí are alright! Sometimes they don’t put a lot of toppings on. THEY TAKE FOREVER TO MAKE THEM. CUSTOMER SERVICE is the worst. The employees are always in the back doing who knows what. ??????
