Very bright clean and welcoming. My daughters strawberry lychee smoothie with popping lychee boba was awesome (and she is very picky she related it 100). I had the special, real fruit soursop smoothie no add ins and it was great! First time truly having soursop anything and it was refreshing great texture and not too sweet. We tried their spring rolls and took home 1 each deep fried and steamed manapua; char siu and chicken curry. I’ll be back when in the area for sure.

From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted with a warm, friendly atmosphere that instantly makes you feel like part of the family. The staff is incredibly attentive and personable, always making sure you're taken care of without ever being overbearing. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers. We were generously given free dimsum samples while enjoying our order. Every dish is bursting with flavor, made from fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can tell it's crafted with love. Whether you're craving a sweet açaí bowl, perfectly seasoned sweet potato fries, or delicate dumplings, they have something to satisfy every palate.

Came in around lunch on a visit and I must say I’m surprised this place isn’t teeming with people we order the Manapua’s and everything was delicious well cooked and overall amazing. There was so many different types of food it was amazing. The prices are low and sizes are generous and has a wide variety of selection overall great service with amazing food. Great place to eat and amazing atmosphere

We had sweet potato pancake, rolled noodles and milktea. The pancake was so warm, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Portion is big for everything. Good enough to share. The cafe is sparkling clean. Chef and his wife were super friendly. They also have interesting items for sale, like labubu dolls, shrimp chips, orange peels, tea leaves, and mochi cakes. What a fantastic cafe and hidden gem!

I really like this place. Glad I happened upon this spot with my fiance. It looked quaint and we wanted a small snack, and saw that they serve dim sum and smoothies! So we stopped in, and I’m so glad we did. We tried their half moon, mini sticky rice, pork hash, shrimp dumpling, and the Kalua pork and ube cream cheese mini manapua. I am not exaggerating when I say everything was delicious! Their Manapua dough is pretty obviously homemade in the best way, soft and fluffy with nice chew! The flavor of each item is on point, not overbearing in any way, and far from bland. The smokiness in the Kalua pork, the meatiness of the filling in the mini sticky rice, it’s hard to say what my favorite was! We also got their watermelon smoothie at the recommendation of the cashier, and let me tell you, I’m so glad we did! It’s been hot and humid during the day lately, and these watermelon slushies were so refreshing and delicious! I am already looking forward to coming back and bringing more family and friends to taste their menu!

Glad I found this spot! Came by after we hiked to Manoa Falls and stopped by Puʻu ʻUalakaʻa State Wayside Lookout point. Was craving a green smoothie because we haven’t been eating many veggies. Got a Summer Night Love (spinach, kale, pineapple, banana, orange, lemon) smoothie ($8) and spicy garlic wontons to go ($12 for 8). The wontons were delicious, good if you can handle mala chili oil! Smoothie hit the spot, you can taste the greens & pineapple There are a couple tables and AC if you want to dine in
