Malu Honolulu — Restaurant in Honolulu

I saw the reviews for this and hurried over one night to find out all the desserts were sold out :( tried again the next day, and I was glad I did!

Scored the last piece of yuzu cheesecake (at 5:30pm, so come early if you don’t want to be disappointed!) The baked cheesecake was fluffy and creamy in texture without being overly sweet. There were small chunks of yuzu in the cake along with a yuzu gel on top. Overall it made for a refreshing yet satisfying cheesecake.

I also got the vanilla soft serve with black sesame chocolate sauce. It was amazing! The guy who runs the store and makes all the desserts said that was his personal favourite and I can see why! The chocolate in it causes it to harden slightly with the ice cream. When you eat it, it melts in your mouth to be silky chocolate with the toasted nuttiness of black sesame.

I also got a hojicha jelly drink with oat milk. The jelly is soft and makes for a great drink. Again, not too sweet but quite pleasant. It had the delicate tea flavour of hojicha. Cold and refreshing. It’s tastes and feels like a better alternative to overly...

On my most recent visit, there was only one person working - he handled everything from the register to preparing food. I ordered: a Teri beef kimbap, 3 double-cookie cream puffs, a mango chiffon, a pistachio pudding, tuna melt taiyaki and a strawberry jelly drink. This recent visit not being our first, we did try some new things. Of course desserts are best when there can be lots of sampling! The desserts are priced reasonable to other dessert speciality locations so sharing is always our best bet when ordering.

There was a bit of a wait as the Kimbap, taiyaki and jelly drink were all made to order. We waited about 10 minutes for a fresh order so for us, it was worth the wait. The chiffon is light and airy, not at all sweet. There was just a hint of mango, a stark contrast from the cream puff literally coated in sugar. The taiyaki was the surprise for me - like a warm tuna melt with American cheese. It was small and yet still very filling. My best advice is to either come wanting select items or go wild and sample a bit...

I was able to get a beautiful roll cake for my friends birthday on short notice. The man working was so nice! He wrote my friends name on a piece of chocolate on top of the cake! I got the matcha roll cake, and everyone said the matcha taste was so rich and yummy. The cake is not large but it's easy to divide between several people for a small party. The shop is small but very colorful and cute. I really recommend it for something unique for a special occasion or just for fun. Thanks for...
