Leilani Taiwanese Kitchen — Restaurant in Honolulu

Dragon Tea is definitely one of my favorite tea places. I'm so glad this location opened in the Market City Shopping Center so I don't have to go all the way to Waikiki when I have a craving. This place has tons of parking, wifi and is super clean.

They have hot tea, milk tea, fruit tea, slushes and chicken wings? Well, I've never had the chicken wings and probably won't since I'm not a huge wing fan. But all their other drinks are pretty legit, maybe since their tea is from Taiwan?

They don't have sweetness levels but each of their drinks have the right amount of sweetness. You can also choose nondairy or fresh milk for your milk tea drinks. They do have various toppings you can choose from. Their boba is nice and firm, but chewy.

Their watermelon green tea slush is definitely my favorite drink here. It's so refreshing and I don't have to get a watermelon, cut it and blend it myself! You can add toppings but I like it plain and simple.

I also love their seasonal peach green tea. They put real pieces of fruit in their tea which makes their fruit tea stand out. I've also had the pineapple and passion fruit green tea which are good but are a bit sweet for me. You can have most fruit tea as a drink or a slush which is awesome. I don't think any other tea place does this.

If you are not a tea fan, you can try their milk. They have a strawberry milk that's sweet and a good tea alternative.

And of course, I had their original milk tea with boba. I am a milk tea addict after all. It's not too sweet and has a nice tea flavor. It doesn't taste powdery.

Don't forget to check in on Yelp or like them on Facebook to get a discount!

I heart Dragon Tea boba milk tea is my life true tea...

So this place is well known for it's popular bubble tea, but the food is fantastic and you are really missing out if you don't try it. Menu is not vast, but there is a good variety if items to choose from and the prices are very reasonable. Food is made fresh for you and comes out hot. Very tasty and satisfying dishes. The Sichuan Beef Noodle Soup has a good kick to it, but if that is too much for you, they have the same thing with out the spiciness called the Braised Beef Noodle Soup. The Braised Pork on Rice is some amazing flavor action going on along with contrasts in with different ingredients used.

What is also very nice is the presentation of the food. It isn't just thrown at in some cheep paper plate or generic dish. The food is nicely arranged in an attractive dish.

Service here is always attentive and friendly. They seem to really care about your order and delivering it to you with care and respect.

So before you just think of this place as another trendy bubble tea joint, take a look at the menu and remember my review. The food is great here and prices are...

On Dec 24, 2021, coming out of bishop museum, this restaurant is near by. This restaurant is advertised as Taiwan flavor, so I ordered beef noodle soup to test out famous Taiwan beef noodle. After finishing eating the noodle, I was somewhat disappointed. The flavors of beef are bland, the noodle soup was mostly soy sauce, there is not much real beef flavor. The only thing good is noodles. They are chewy enough. The service time was 15 minutes or so, which is slow for a bowl of noodle while I was only customer at the time. Overall, the beef noodle soup is below my expectations. Considering the price of beef noodle soup vs beef udon noodle ($8.75) at Waikiki, this Taiwan beef noodle ($13.5)only deserves one star, not recommended.

Marukame Udon Waikiki serves beef udon for $8.75。 Regardless of price, good tasty Taiwan beef noodles are in Taiwan, not...
