UPDATED MARCH 2024:I enjoy this place, but I just admit that it is not as good now that I can't pour my own toppings. They have removed their tables in favor of shelves to sell merchandise. While we still enjoy the low prices for Asian snacks, their selection is t much better than the local Walmart. I feel as though their selection used to have a bit more things besides chips and li hing gummies.Still, I enjoy this place as an every once in a while treat. But there are several other treat places that I would choose over this place.I’ve been meaning to try out this place for the last year or so. I started reading what my fellow Yelpers were saying and made a decision to check it out. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG?! I think I have been here a million times since I first tried it out. I have filled out 2 of their stamp cards and I’m almost done with the 3rd. This place is addicting!I love how I can choose to put whatever I want and however much I want of the “fillings”. You just have to make sure that you do not go over the 1st line, but in my opinion when you fill up to the 1 line it’s already a lot.My favorite combos so far are:-lychee in the lihing smoothie-taro and lychee in the taro coconut smoothie-coffee jelly and Oreo in the mocha smoothieI’ve also tried the honeydew smoothie which tastes just like melona bars, the pineapple smoothie, and fresh lemonades. All were very tasty.I will DEFINITELY be back. Its always a nice treat on a hot day, or a good treat after the little ones are good at Costco, or good because just because you feel like it!

This is one of my favorite places to stop for a treat. I always get my honeydew milk tea (they make the best) and my kids pick out a treat from there selection. If I plan a trip we always stop here to grab snacks for the plane ride. They have excellent customer service too.

Hula boba right next to Chunwa Kam. Used to go here for my boba fix in high school, but with recent changes due to Covid -- they aren't as great as they used to be. You can get snacks such as local gummies, and then Asian snacks that are available on their shelves. I credit Hula Boba for their variety in milk teas -- really liked the lavender in my opinion. Before covid, they had a self service bar where you fill your own cup, choose a small or a large, with fill lines as guidelines so you can fill with X-amount of toppings. Now, you tell them what you want. Not going to argue with the changes to their way of making their drinks. It's a health and safety precaution. But I do give them 4 stars in that I don't find their milk teas to be the same quality as they used to, sometimes the boba is too soft that it disintegrates or hard to chew and just breaks when you bite into it and it's not really boba at that point in my opinion. Still recommend this place if you're nearby or really love and rave about this place.

Guy staffers go out of their way providing superior customer service, friendly aloha, professional all out helpful. Best place for refreshing mochi teas made just for you, to order, fresh cold and delicious. The store carries loads of hard to find cookies, candies, mochI, chips and other goodies. My go to place since moving to Kapolei. I drop in see what's on the shelves, pick up stuff to take home and order my Boba drinks, just like the old cracked seed stores. Good times

Super fire boba . Was here for vacation again and just went to the nearest boba place with the most Yelp reviews and this place did not disappoint at all !!!!

Had a drink. Freshly made. They also have a range of unique food items.
If you're getting your boba drinks from somewhere else, you are doing it wrong. The ONLY place to get a boba drink is from Hula Boba!!! Big drinks! Big serving of toppings!!! And cheap!!! Plus they have lots of yummy snacks throughout their store!!! The owner is so friendly and so sweet too!!! Thank you Hula Boba, keep doing your thang!!!

Good quality, a lot of variety, great selection and decent service. It's also a snack shop. I have tried the watermelon juice with boba and the green tea which I enjoyed very much. There was quite a long wait in line as there were 2 in front of me. There were 2 employees and the cashier was helpful and professional. Parking was convenient right out front and the location was convenient as well. The prices are a little high from my taste so it's one of those things that I reserve for special days.

The honeydew smoothie was not what I was expecting. It was watery and sour and I had to throw it away. Very disappointing.

I decided to venture into the world of Bobas... With many yelp friends into Boba, I figured I was missing something if I didn't try. First, Dee and J-Wow, you two are boba queens... I am a novice Bobaian... There is also Bobalicous Pamela... None of you, however, live here. So I refer to our local expert Kyra, as she has a stringent metrics for food. She gave this place 5 big ones. Irene did too. So, here i go gently down the boba stream. I ordered coffee and chocolate, and I was told "smoothie?" I said "No!" I was told the flavors for coffee and chocolate only come in smoothies... Apparently I don't know my bobas and smoothies. It really doesn't matter what it is. It is like cow tongue... it is better to enjoy it in ignorance. I will say I enjoyed my chocolate coffee smoothie boba whatever immensely. Even if it had a cow tongue, i wouldn't have cared. I can't teach you what Boba is, but I can certainly tell you that you will enjoy this concoction of smooth yummi chocolate coffee thing in large. 50 cents difference between small and large... one should always get the large!!

Delicious boba drinks! I love their Mac nut milk tea! Very good flavor. Their toppings also tasted very good! I tried my hubby's mango smoothie too and it's very refreshing! They also have some snacks there for purchase, like a small store front. Service was also very friendly. The guy was sweet. Great place for boba drinks!
