I'm so disappointed in this establishment. They get 1 star for reliability and inconsistency. I've made multiple trips to pick up food there for lunch and dinner and they've been closed for no reason. I give up! Side note: When I did get food there in the past, it was mainly for their lumpia. The adobo is hit or miss, sometimes too fatty, sometimes it was good. With that said...I will no longer make special trips to get food there.

Guisado and adobo flavor was good and what to expect, but overall too fatty/oily. As a filipino, I can't stand behind a restaurant that has filipino food with no vinegar to go with the pansit/lupia/rice. No calamansi or lime available. Only lemon. This is something that I would turn a blind eye to on the mainland, but not in Hawaii. Outdoor seating only. Lumpia was very stale sitting under a heat lamp. I will say they do fill up the plates nice and full though!

Went there on Monday, March 13, around 11am. Horrible service by the younger lady. She showed no personality or was even welcoming. Asked her the price of the flan which she said $8 and then rung it up for over $9. When we pointed out the price difference, she didn't answer and showed a "****** face. I told a friend who lives in Milillani about our experience and she said she went there once and will never go there again. On a scale from 0 to 5, I give it a 0 for having poor customer service.

Couldn’t substitute Milk for non dairy, and and at the time only accepted cash. The Boba was under cooked for me, to hard on the inside.

Waited for 20 minutes to order a boba drink… which is what they are well known. At the end they had absolutely no drinks. Waited 20 minutes just for that. There was only one other person in the cafe too… not cool. Ended up getting nothing.

I hate giving low stars but the boba here was hard and my drink didn't have any flavor to it. Hubby, daughter and myself came in here for drinks. The lady even charged me extra for a topping I didn't order for one of my drinks. She was nice and gave me cash back in her tip jar. This place used to be good but the day we came in, our drinks tasted horrible. My daughter didn't like her drink either. They sell Filipino food here, but they leave it out under a lamp. I wouldn't trust that either as food laying out spoils. I don't recommend coming here if you like watered down drinks with boba that tastes hard. I literally couldn't drink anymore and ended up throwing away my drink. The inside was way too hot also. They couldn't turn on air conditioning?! I don't think I will be back here ever again. Just not good.

My friend loves the wintermelon milk tea from PB Sister's, so we came here after we had lunch at Ninja Sushi. It looks like they allowed only 2-3 customers at a time inside, so we had to wait a little outside before we could go in.I wasn't in a milk tea mood, so I decided to get the mango fruit drink. I wanted mango popping boba, but they were out and only had the yogurt popping boba, so decided to get that to try. The yogurt popping boba was alright... I think the taste grew on me as I kept drinking it more. I would've rather had a fruity popping boba. My friend enjoyed his wintermelon milk tea as usual :)I notice they had bubble waffles so I wanna go back one day to try those! :)

Their store is way too hot and when we politely asked about using a discount, we were rudely shut down. The boba was mid and they didn't even give the cute cup as advertised.

I was craving Boba and this place was the closest to where I was, so I decided to try it. As soon as you walk in, you are hit with a rush of hot air. It felt like it was over 90 degrees in there. When I walked to the register, I was barely greeted by the older woman, who said next to nothing to me. I was blown away at how expensive just a milk tea was ($7.50) plus it's an additional $2 for Boba. The Boba was more firm than it should have been, which means it is old. I worked at a Boba shop for nearly 5 years, so I know what good and bad Boba tastes like. The tea tasted like straight sugar, but it had a good winter melon flavor. You can count on me not coming back.

I love your cheesecake menu! I also love their mango lemon lemonade with boba! The best thing ever!
My mother saw an ad on the tele for this place and we went there despite the low Yelp rating. We should have believed Yelp! Firstly, they do not ask the customer if they want boba inside and automatically put boba in your drink. This wouldn't be such a big deal until I noticed that they also automatically add 1.99 charge to the drink without letting you know! Good thing I was paying attention to the cashier screen. My parents did not like the Filipino food. I thought the veggie egg rolls were good. All the Ube desserts taste so fake. Where is that strong, creamy Ube flavor. Not here at PB sisters! Ugh, even the boba monster tasted like powder. The sides were scraped with what looked like Ube, but it was tasteless. What a waste of money buying the the pastries here. Go to the Thai place next door.

Overpriced and very rude employee! She seemed annoyed that we were even there ordering and it took forever to get our drinks. We will be going to Teapresso in Times next time.

I saw this place on ig and wanted to try. Easy to find at the shopping center. The staff was friendly and our drinks were made at a decent speed. I would go again!

I am in absolute love with their Strawberry Smoothie. It's exactly how I love my smoothies; light, sweet, strawberry-filled, a little bit of crunchy ice, yogurty. I cannot get enough of it. I'm so addicted ! I come back here every single time I'm in Town Center and make an effort to never leave without my smoothie fix ♡

Disappointed...$11 for a Thai tea boba. Lady at the register charge me for a "Thai tea cheesecake" drink that was $9 and then $1.99 to add regular boba. I told her that's not what I order. So because they didn't have Thai tea in register she charge me for a specialty drink. To be honest, you can't call it a boba drink without boba. I have never been to a place that they charge you for boba. I mean like the normal boba that comes with a boba drink. Most expensive Thai tea boba I ever paid for.
