The gelato was amazing and they offer Kama'aina discount!! I got the yuzu and Hawaiian Lilikoi. The Yuzu flavor was this month special so there's only a couple more days to grab it. If you get the chance I would highly recommend because of the light and slightly sour and refreshing Yuzu flavor. I absolutely loved the Hawaiian Lilikoi, it was extremely refreshing and a perfect sweetness! There are many unique flavors that sounded delicious, so I will for sure be back to try them all!!

Timing is everything.Reading fine print and asking questions help too.My local friend shared a link about Stix Asia celebrating its one year anniversary. There were a series of promotions and, when our group was discussing a dinner spot on Saturday evening in early February, I suggested picking a restaurant there. Before walking the aisles, my friend and I went to the information desk and asked whether that Saturday's promotion offer was still available. The lady confirmed that there were redemption coupons still available so we planned accordingly.After dining at the noodle restaurant in the back, we explained the promotion to our fellow diners and paid for our meals so that all interested guests would be able to enjoy this perk. For spending $20 on a meal, we were given a coupon to get a free cup of sorbet here. Being right next to the information desk, this store is to the far left, near the exit doors and stairs. In redeeming our coupons, we patiently waited as the young lady scooped our cup of sorbet. mango sorbet (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ctKL8zyt4Jhz0wy6NXfJEA&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). The promotion didn't lend any choice in flavors but I must say that I enjoyed that sorbet, perfectly icy after a hot bowl of noodles. The young lady was patient as the five of us each had coupons. As we were about to leave, a gentleman shared with us the background of their company which was interesting and helpful. Always great to support local businesses.On our next visit to Stix, if I still have stomach space... highly likely..., I will stop in and try some of their other offerings whether it be sorbet or gelato. And thank you for the promotion to give us a free opportunity to experience your business.

The staff there are always very friendly! Not to mention their gelato and the ice cream from nana green tea next door that they also run are both delicious, and you'll find at least one flavor that will tickle your fancy!Their strawberry cheesecake is very creamy and flavorful but not heavy at all. Mango sorbet is good if you want something light. Their black sesame is very flavorful with bits of black sesame as that's what I sampled and I think that's what I'll order next time! What a great way to finish off a meal. Stix Asia has everything you need for a fun food adventure!

good gelato place in the middle of Stix food hall. I came here for dessert after trying out Baikohken. One of the workers were really nice and said we could sample any of the flavors. I tried out hojicha, coffee, and strawberry cheesecake before making my decision. I got the lychee & hojicha while my sister got the coffee & strawberry cheesecake. The hojicha was the best out of all them. It had a nice and smooth flavor.

We had just finished eating a savory lunch at STIX Asia's Honolulu Noodle Company and wandered through the food hall to balance our taste buds with a sweet and light dessert. My husband suggested getting a soft-serve dessert from nana's green tea since we were already in the food hall. As often as we've gotten soft-serve dessert from nana's green tea, we don't get anything with matcha because we prefer the roasted, toasty, and almost chocolatey flavor of hōjicha.While approaching nana's green tea, we looked forward to our favorite soft-serve menu dessert items, hōjicha with warabimochi or hōjicha with shiratama dango and azuki, served in a cup, not cone. Although we like the flavor of a waffle cone, we prefer getting our soft serve in a cup since the soft serve tends to melt quickly, and we don't want to get messy while savoring the delightful flavors and smooth consistency of the soft serve. However, the counter girl told us their hōjicha flavor wasn't ready yet and suggested we try their sister business, ao gelato's product.Jumping over to the freezer display, she pointed out the hōjicha and matcha gelatos as my eyes wandered to the other local tropical fruit-flavored gelatos. However, we had our hearts set on the hōjicha flavor, so we chose a double scoop for $7.50 to share. We were impressed with the flavor that met our craving, and the gelato's soft, silky, creamy, and dense consistency is what I expected from a properly made gelato. We sat in their open dining area to enjoy our gelato and looked forward to returning for their other gelato flavors.The following week, I attended a YEE at STIX Asia and got to try their Hawaiian Honey and Lemon, which I thoroughly enjoyed. My husband teased me about returning several more times to experience ao gelato's other ten flavors. Hmm, I'd say it's not a wrong suggestion, eh?

The gelato here is perfect! The flavors are accurate in the best way - they have tea flavors (chai, Earl grey, matcha, and hojicha) that balance the sweetness of dessert with the slight bitterness of tea. The other flavors are great too - we got the matcha, Kona coffee, and Hawaiian honey and lemon, and I could really taste the honey when I usually don't with desserts labeled "honey."

Welcome to gelato and sorbet destination in Stix Asia! You'll find 12 flavors that rotates pending on availability of ingredients for the season. To go station. Love unique and exotic flavors! Choice of one cup size for free that accommodates single, double, and triple scoops. Waffle cones also offered at an additional charge. Pints are available for purchase in individual flavors $10.80. Equivalent to five or six scoops. Hubby really enjoyed consuming Hawaiian Liliko'i. Hawaiian Liliko'i Sorbet: Refreshing and uplifting, non dairy treat. Definitely tasted sweet and tart flavors accompanied with black seeds. Earl Gray Gelato: Bold and picker upper. Chai Tea Gelato: Subtle and complements earl gray. Worker was very sweet and thoughtful to inquire how many cups and spoons we needed. Impeccable customer service! Nearest open seats are at regular table with chairs behind or next to doors. Hope to try their black sesame or various gelatos on a future visit!

They were really smart to jump into STIX as a gelato place. After eating Asian food, this is the perfect way to end dinner.Their gelato is creamy, and the flavors are on point. We tried the strawberry cheesecake and the pumpkin chocolate chip. It tasted exactly like what you hoped it would. There's nothing more to say. However, I felt bad for the girl helping us because she had to jump between the gelato area and the soft serve area with only another employee. There was a long line, and I know they were stressed. But, everyone is having that issue now. Looking forward to people getting back to work.

Wow, what a wonderful way to cap a perfect Yelp experience! The gelatos and sorbets were in general light and refreshing ... perfect to pair with Asian food. Tried many samples which were all delicious but settled on the Japanese favorite, yuzu lemon (lemon, mandarin orange & grapefruit flavor).

Located next to Nana's green tea inside Stix Asia. Small shop and maybe the same owners as Nana's next door. The staff was very friendly and patient. She let me try a few flavors before choosing! My favorite one was the Earl Grey Gelato! Delicious and the perfect treat after dinner. Very creamy and hit the spot.
