About MATCHA Stand MAIKO

MATCHA Stand MAIKO offers high-quality matcha treats in a cozy courtyard setting with hanging lights and benches. Their Matcha Parfait features soft serve, matcha cake, azuki beans, and corn flakes, boasting amazing texture and unique bites. Guests can enjoy delicious matcha shave ice cream or other variants, available for quick and easy ordering. The soft serve is described as amazingly creamy with a lightly bitter taste, and many customers say it is the best authentic Japanese matcha on Oahu, even better than other places on the island. The quality of their matcha ice cream, latte, parfait, and float is unmatched, offering a powerful, authentic flavor that is very close to what is found in Japan.

The restaurant is small and quaint, located next to Playbar Waikiki, with limited seating but space to stand while enjoying desserts. Seasonal flavors like Ube and Sakura (Cherry Blossoms) are popular, and many customers often choose the classic matcha. The matcha frappe float, which features matcha ice cream floating on top of a matcha drink, is highly praised. Customers appreciate the friendly staff and quick service, although payment must be made by credit card or phone, as cash is not accepted. All dessert items are vegetarian, making it a great option for matcha lovers seeking a sweet treat. Overall, visitors find the soft serve velvety and the drinks a divine experience, with some describing it as the best quality matcha they’ve had in years.
