Asian Mix Tea Time

Fantastic bubble tea shop! It’s a joint shop with Asian mix, right by Safeway. I actually never knew they sold bubble tea, until yesterday. This is a solid bubble tea stop, their boba is soft and chewy and they have a wide array of teas, smoothies, etc. The milk tea is a bit sweet, so I would recommend to get half sugar. They also offer jelly, red bean, etc. for 50 cents each. Their drinks range from $ 3 – 5, which is pretty cheap compared to other boba places. A classic milk tea with boba is only $ 3.50! What a deal! To add, they have lovely workers and grey service, I definitely would recommend this place to others and and definitely will visit again!:)

4 stars for convenience and quality/​freshness/​quantity of food
3 stars for the taste of the food.
I came here when it first opened and the food looked and smelled fantastic but when I bit into it, it was super bland. Had to add soy sauce to stuff. Bland is good if you’re watching your salt intake so diabetics and heart healthy people be aware.
Fast forward to last week, decided to give it another try since they added drinks to their menu and I needed to pick up food so killing two birds one stone. Here’s my take on our order:
–shrimp chow mein (crispy noodles): Looked good, smelled good. I like the thin kind of noodles they use, I’m used to this type of noodles for this dish (I’m not a cake noodle fan). Lot’s of veggies and shrimp in it but very bland.
–steamed fish and veggies: lots of veggies in this and the fish was perfectly steamed. In this case I liked how it was more bland as the fresh fish could be more appreciated.
–hong kong style roast duck: Super salty. I actually ate this with the noodles and it turned out good!
–mango bubble smoothie: lots of tapioca pearls in it but way too sweet. tasted like a power mix, not fresh mango (not like the boba place at Shirokiya, still my fave in town.)
Overall, if I was in a pinch and needed to grab food in a convenient location because the parking is covered and plentiful, then I’d come back here again. Otherwise I’ll eat Chinese elsewhere.

Got the milk tea for $ 4. Not the best. Tasted like they use powder so it was too sweet for me. My son got the strawberry smoothie for $ 5! It was sour. Not what I expected but at least we tried it. They’re not the best place to get milk tea but they’re not the worst either.

Another day, another milk tea place to review. Got a peach milk green tea, and I really enjoyed it. Don’t come in expecting anything fancy. This place just uses store-​bought flavored syrup, but it really reminded me of the stuff you get in the little storefronts on the streets in Taiwan and Hong Kong. The tea itself had a light jasmine flavor just like you’d expect with Chinese tea. The consistency of the bubbles was soft, but still chewy. Not much of a place to camp out and socialize, but definitely a strong contender for a solid beverage.

Located at the Safeway shopping center, there was plenty of parking. I already liked this place. I had an Okinawan milk tea with bubbles. Really good! I don’t know what was so «Okinawan» about it besides it being half as sweet as the regular milk tea. My husband had a regular milk tea which he liked. I loved the chewy consistency of the bubbles and their sweetness.

I got the okinawa milk tea with grass jelly. It tasted ok, but not the best… The drink lacked tea flavor and the grass jelly was bland as well. The customer service was friendly, though, which made up for the drink.

And we’ve found a winner! THE BEST milk tea I’ve had on island so far — so good that I feel like I don’t need to look any further!
Tried the following:
— baby plant milk tea with boba — couldn’t not and ABSOLUTELY recommend trying.
— matcha green tea with red beans — also highly recommend, red beans were perfect consistency.
— strawberry milk tea — the most fresh tasting we’ve tried, not the typical powdered taste.
All were of excellent quality and I seriously cannot wait to go back for more!

Was okay the boba was perfect, tea perfect but I think she didn’t quite get what I meant when I said taro coconut… yes I got the chunks of Taro that!!! But the coconut flavor came from coconut Jelly I don’t care for those jelly things. But it was very refreshing when u walked about 3blocks to get a boba drink.

I have been drinking too much milk tea lately. Part of the Asian Mix restaurant in the Safeway Beretania corner, they have a limited menu, but good milk tea.
Likes: Convenient location and parking. A lot of milk tea places in town are annoying to drive to or park at. This place avoids that. Their black tea is good too. The basic tea starts at $ 3.00, with flavors and add ins are $ 0.50 extra each. Not bad.
Dislikes: Menu is quite limited. They also run out of pearls sometimes, so if you’re going after 7pm and you need to go to Safeway too and want pearls, go here first. All their green tea is jasmine green tea. I don’t like jasmine, but if you do, it’s subtle.
Favorites: I like the honey milk black tea.
Limited menu, great location and decent prices. If you need some plain black milk tea, stop by here. If you’re looking for a wider selection of flavors, go to another milk tea place.

It’s a good thing they don’t have a stamp card or I’d be going here every day… giant $ 3.66 okinawan black milk tea, half sweet, is the best! Service is very fast too.

I’ve been eyeing this milk tea place since I read its first good review. I finally got a chance to try this place out this past weekend. It’s located right across of T-​Mobile and has a fairly unique menu. There are items I’ve never seen before like baby plant milk tea, Okinawan milk tea, etc.
Of course, I needed to try the original black milk tea with pearls to begin my assessment. I asked to try the consistency of the pearls because I prefer my pearls chewy. The pearls here did not disappoint. They were sweet and chewy, just how I like them.
The milk tea was too sweet for my taste, but it had a good amount of tea flavor and creaminess. I didn’t detect any hint of powder, which shows they did a good job at mixing everything up. They don’t have anything that says this, but you can order the drink less sweet — they lessen the sweetness by adding more TEA, not water, which I like.
Like everyone says, there is only one size (large) but the prices are on par with other places. Toppings are an extra $ 0.50. I recommend the pearls and not the grass jelly. The grass jelly has a weird consistency that I don’t like — I think they use the jelly straight from the can.
I think this place makes the top of my list of milk tea go-to’s. I wish they would start a stamp card!

I’m always on the search for that perfect milk tea and this place is pretty high up on my list. I didn’t know what to expect coming here. I mean, this place serves Chinese plate lunches as its main business. The milk tea side business could’ve been a sneaky trick to lure people in after eating a heavy meal. WRONG.
This place is now tied with Timi House for my #1 milk tea spot in Hawaii. Just try it!
$ 3.50 for just the plain milk tea, one size only but its a large at other places
Add +0.50 for toppings
Outside seating available so you get a nice view of tmobile customers and Safeway shoppers
Lots of parking!

Typical tapioca place but the price is a little higher than norm. Clean small store with outdoor seating.

A baby plant milk tea, say what?
An asian fusion mix to-​go restaurant located right under Makiki’s Safeway! Plenty of parking so no need to worry, phew! Not only do they serve delicious asian mix food, they also make some bomb milk teas & smoothies (: I recommend their Baby Plant Milk Tea which is just regular milk tea, topped with whipped cream, sprinkled with oreo crumbs and lastly, a mint leaf! Highly surprised how delicious their milk tea is and chewy their boba is as well! It is also cheap for $ 4.97! A definite must try, I’ll be back for more!

Love the tea here!
I always get the Milk Green Tea with Tapioca Pearls here and it is delicious. The milkiness of the tea is just right and the tapioca pearls are nice and soft.
The price isn’t bad either. They only have one size, but it’s a decent cup size and comes out to around $ 4.
Being located right under the Beretania Safeway, it is in a convenient location. I always stop by after shopping at Safeway.

3.5 stars.
If you are a sucker for cute food, then you should get the baby plant milk tea. It’s adorable. It’s basically milk tea with boba, whipped cream, oreo crumbs, and a mint leaf, made to look like a «baby plant» in a pile of dirt. It originally comes with the plain milk tea, but I asked to substitute for the Okinawan milk tea. I still don’t really know what makes it «Okinawan» because it tasted just like normal milk tea but I appreciate that it wasn’t too sweet. That normally kills regular milk teas for me as I feel sick after drinking them. That wasn’t the case here! I think you are allowed to adjust the sweetness as well, however, I wasn’t asked up front. You have to request it yourself if you want it to be made less sweet.
If you don’t really care whether or not your boba is cute, then I’d probably go somewhere else because they’re a little pricey. It’s $ 3.50 for just the tea, then $ 0.50 for any toppings. They only have one size and it’s around the same size as a large at other places, but mine had choke ice in it so there wasn’t that much tea. The baby plant milk tea is $ 4.75 + tax!!! So expensive.
Btw, this is in the same place as Asian Mix, it’s just a separate counter for milk tea and boba. Plenty of parking in the Safeway lot.

My review is only about the drinks.
I was excited to try green milk tea and mango smoothie.
Before I even ordered I noticed kung fu milk tea behind the counter as I mentioned in my tip column. I thought that was odd. Anyhow.
So I sipped my milk tea and I swear it’s the same green milk tea from kung fu tea!!! I also noticed same bags of tea on the shelf from kung fu tea. This place is somehow related to kung fu tea.
Green milk tea was ok.
The mango smoothie was pretty good refreshing and more like a slush and different from kung fu tea.
As other Unilocalers commented parking is convenient especially if you’re going to be shopping at Safeway.

A convenient place to grab milk tea after a grocery shopping trip. I always order the milk tea with pudding, so I cannot attest to the other drinks on the menu. I have a couple friends who came and disliked the milk tea, but its good in my book. Lots of parking at Safeway, compared to other places in town for bubble tea.

This is by far one of the best milk tea/​bubble drink i have on this island.
People recommended Kung Fu tea which i tried but i think Asian Mix tea time beat Kung Fu, tasty tea, and coffee and tea. The price is cheaper, the worker is enthusiastic, and you can easily find parking. While at Asian Mix tea time, you can grab a roast duck there. They have the best roast duck… too yummy and well worth.
I tried the regular boba jasmine milk tea and second time i tried the green boba milk tea. The green milk tea taste much better.
I love it and the owner is such a nice friendly man.
They deserve 2 thumbs up!!!

I have had milk tea everywhere but it is the best here!!! I love the milk tea too soooo much that I can’t make myself try any other delicious flavors… One day…
Oh and the staff is really friendly and nice!
