  Parking lot here wasn't crowded middle of the afternoon. We came in and ordered a handful of items. The staff person was really friendly and explained the items and stuff. Everything is vegan and everything tastes great. Highly recommend all the flavors! Amazing vibes too.

  This place is dangerous. We go almost every other week, and it's become common in our household to just go "Niu?" "Niu." What's great is that their soft serve is vegan, so you don't feel heavy or sickly after having this delicious treat. A few things about this soft serve joint that stick out. First they have their tried and true OG flavors of ube and niu, and the swirl mix of them is just a classic combo. The remaining 2 flavors are in constant Flux, and it's always a treat to discover what new concoction these geniuses come up with. Some of my favorite special flavors include: pandan, Thai iced tea, black sesame. Sometimes they'll also have pints of the flavors ready for purchase in a chest freezer. They also have shakes and malts, which the ube cookies and cream is actually my default order every time. It's not too sweet and has the nice crumbles of oreo in it with malt powder sprinkled throughout. The store recently redesigned their layout, and it's cool to see more baked goods and other drink availabilities. They are super dog friendly and will give a pup cup for your fur babies. They also have a loyalty stamp card, so be sure to ask for that. My only need...is for them to have extended late hours so I can enjoy when I get those late night cravings!

  Niu Soft Serve Parlour is an absolute gem that deserves every bit of its five-star rating! First and foremost, the staff here are incredibly friendly and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt like a valued guest. Their warm smiles and genuine hospitality set the tone for a delightful visit. The cleanliness of the parlour is impeccable. It's clear that they take pride in maintaining a spotless environment, which adds to the overall positive experience. One of the standout features is the available parking lot. In a location where parking can sometimes be a challenge, this convenience is a real plus. It makes enjoying their delicious treats even more hassle-free. Speaking of convenience, the location itself is easy to get to. It's a hassle-free spot to visit, whether you're a local or a tourist exploring Oahu. You won't need to navigate complicated routes to satisfy your soft serve cravings. Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the soft serve ice cream! The flavors at Niu Soft Serve Parlour are nothing short of fantastic. I had the pleasure of trying Ube and carrot cake, and both were a burst of deliciousness. But what takes it to the next level are the toppings, especially the toasted macadamia nuts. They add a delightful crunch and flavor that elevates every bite. The sundae creations here are works of art. The creativity and attention to detail in each creation make them as Instagram-worthy as they are tasty. It's a true treat for both the eyes and the taste buds. Now, here's the surprise – this soft serve is vegan! Without being told beforehand, I would have never guessed. It's a testament to the quality and taste they've achieved. It caters to a wide range of dietary preferences without compromising on flavor. I sincerely hope Niu Soft Serve Parlour becomes a permanent establishment because it's a place worth revisiting. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it leaves an impression that lingers long after you've left. I'm already looking forward to returning when I come back to Oahu in a couple of years. It's a sweet spot that deserves its place in the hearts of dessert lovers. Five stars all the way!

  Whenever I'm considering a sweet treat, this is my go to. (And I'm not usually a fan of soft serve.) I've had a few of their sundae creations, and a shake. All delicious. I haven't tried all of the flavors of ice cream, but it's because the coconut is so tasty I haven't wanted anything else. The staff is great too. Update: came back and now they're selling cookies. Be sure to get one!

  Having gone to a Yelp event a while back and wanting a sweet treat, I returned here. They are in stadium mall area a few doors up from L&L. Parking is usually plentiful given there are other outlets to eat from. They usually have 2 reg flavors (ube and coconut) and 2 special flavors that change often. The soft serve is plant based. I chose the hot kulolo sundae with ube and coconut swirl. It's a perfect blend of tastes. You can't go wrong with a classic. The kid had the sunrise sundae with strawberry li-hing soft serve. At 1st, the taste of the soft serve awakens all your senses. If you love li-hing, you will love this soft serve. The only downfall for both of us was it became too strong to eat with the lemon peel. We opted to save half and stick it in the freezer. Next time I would just be content on getting the soft serve with no toppings. They're that tasty all on it's own. And yes, there will be a next time. There was only one person working so if you have a large order it might take a bit but we didn't wait long at all.
