Banzai Bowls Haleiwa — Restaurant in Oʻahu

I was really disappointed by this place because I had high expectations because of the reviews. It’s my first açai bowl in Hawaii so I don’t know if that’s just how they are here but the açai was absolutely flavourless. I got the shoyo bowl where the base is acai blended with almond milk, and it was a smoothie like consistency.

I assumed it was not mine so after another 10 minutes, I walked up to the cashier and asked whether or not this was my bowl and she said yes I replied. I did not know that because this is the wrong size The cashier Needs to get better at being more attentive as well as announcing when a customer’s order is complete. I could’ve saved so much more time at the establishment going...
