My visit to the Sun Rise Shack at Waikiki Shopping Center was a delightful experience. It was my first time trying the Monkey Bowl, and it was an absolute delight. The tropical bowl was equally delicious. What made the experience even better was the friendly staff who greeted me with a warm welcome. The menu had a variety of options besides açai bowls, including coffee, breakfast items, different types of salads, and more. Additionally, they offer souvenirs like stickers and T-shirts, making it a one-stop spot for both a tasty meal and keepsakes. Having visited several Sun Rise Shacks during my time in Oahu, I can confidently say that this was the best one. If you’re in Waikiki and craving a delicious breakfast or snack, don’t miss out on this spot.
Good food with OK service. We had a bowl and vegan sandwich one day, and a bowl with bullet coffee another day. The bowls and sandwich were good. The bullet coffee lacked flavor.
We stopped here for a quick breakfast and tried two different açaí bowls. The monkey bowl and the tropical bowl. The tropical bowl was the winner for us. Like most places you do pay extra for any toppings, so we didn’t bother adding any and just enjoyed them as they were and I my opinion no need to add additional toppings - the bowls are super delicious as is. The only thing that could be improved is the system for calling out orders. The location is small and when orders are called out, it’s hard to hear or get to the front to pick it up. I would expect to pay about $15-20 per person.
Great location right in the heart of Waikiki! Their tropical bowl is superb, the blend is solid, not watery, can taste fresh pineapples! Also liked their papaya toppings, it’s a ball of smashed papayas than chunks, with some coconut flakes sprinkled on top. The reduction of 1 star is the açaí bowl, it tasted too much of frozen bananas and the consistency is watery.
I was in the mood for something peanut butter.
I got the small and I’m pretty full. I regret not doing a combo with the monkey bowl and classic açaí. Now I have to come back for the açaí!! I’m sure that’s the best seller.
Love the beach girl vibe and the toppings here are the best.
The hot classic bullet was just what I need for a pick me up. My first time trying vegan coffee. I think I'm going to stick to my basic coffee with soy or regular milk.
Edit: I tried their Shibuya location (review available) and the açaí was quite disappointing after experiencing the real thing in Hawaii.

More healthy fare (Vegan) - no processed sugar etc... Breakfast very limited but the few options are good. (Loaded avocado toast). Acai bowls are pre blended so can't take out fruits you don't like. All in all good but limited. Price is ok. Expensive like everything else in Waikiki. Lol.
Very good smoothie and matcha latte! The loaded toast with Avocado, rucula and fêta was delicious! Top take away and eat on the beach 🌴
My first time getting a Açaí bowl and lady was very helpful. I went with the Tropical bowl and added fresh strawberries. Medium size could have gone with small. Was excellent! Definitely going back
You have a choice of three sizes. I had the small monkey bowl. My son had the med bowl which was too much for him to finish delicious filling, fresh. Highly recommend. Also had the chai on ice with honey again very very delicious.

My doctor recommended me this place as the place that has the best açaí bowl in Waikiki. I was so excited to come and tried it knowing that it’s just two minutes away from my hotel. I went there, asked some questions to the staff but by the way she answered my questions, I feel like she was not so friendly nor welcoming. Regardless, I purchased it anyway. The açaí was good, but I think they put some frozen bananas mixed in the açaí bowl. For those of you who likes frozen banana, you will enjoy it. But frozen banana it’s not my favorite. If I’ve known about it, I’ll order something else.
Why 5 stars? I wrote this to the review that they had on my online payment and the staff responded to me and handled it really well. I wasn’t expecting that the staff would go above and beyond in response to my opinion. I can see that they are serious about making sure they offer the best quality and costumer service in at their place. I’m sure the other things would taste amazing in this place. They have lots of good reviews. I just happened to have my personal taste about the açaí bowl.
I love the sunny decorations that they have. It’s unique, cheery, bright and the atmosphere is very welcoming. My daughter loves the rainbow painting on their wall and enjoyed sitting at their bench while enjoying the yummy treats they have. We’ll give other bowls or smoothie a try once we go back there again.
