Can't go to Hawaii without indulging in fresh tropical fruit. Got jackfruit, mangosteen, papaya and pomelo. They also do cane juice and tropical fruit juice but we wanted to try something else. Cards accepted.

There are a few sugarcane juice stands in the area but this is the the only place with a machine to make it fresh to order.

Visited on a Sunday morning and it was busy but service was quick and efficient. My mom got some fruits and I got the calamansi sugarcane. It was so refreshing and better than the other stands. It is $8 and only one size though, kind of pricey compared to the mainland but overall still good and I would come back!

Mango Smoothie was too good! The fruits in Hawaii are incomparable to the mainland, too fresh and too sweet. Perfect on a hot day!

Came here because my kid wanted fresh coconut smoothie with boba and this place did not disappoint. The lady working the place was very nice to us. They also had spring rolls that my boys really enjoyed as well.

We were looking for fresh sugar cane juice in Chinatown and reviews led me here. We love the sugar cane juice vendors around Oahu and never been disappointed. However, this was the first disappointing sugar cane experience we didn't even finish our $8 cup. The sugar cane juice here does not taste fresh - it even tasted artificial. I think I even saw them blend something? Why? It was very odd. I saw them add sweetener to their avocado smoothies. So I was wondering whether they had our sweetener in the sugar cane juice to throw the taste so off. There was also major language barrier so it was hard for me to ask what was in the juice. We also purchased several fruits, while the price is competitive, I did not think it was the freshest compared to some of the other vendors. The rambutan, lychee, longan, and wax apple were all just OK. The prepackaged bags we picked had several pieces that had gone bad. The pro is that they do accept credit cards.
They have fruits that may be hard to find elsewhere, especially when they're not quite in season yet.

So this is a small little stand. The fruits are ok but her price is expensive!! I bought some mango sand durian and spent over $125 bucks.

Fresh fruit smoothie in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii... We've walked past this vendor so many times because it's at a busy entrance to Maunakea Marketplace on Hotel Street. Chau's Fresh Fruit isn't the most glamorous, friendly, nor Instagramable vendor. They're just doing their job at an open-air stall. At least there's a roof! My first attempt at getting a durian smoothie left me frazzled because I didn't tell the worker at the start that I don't want dairy in my smoothie. I paid the $8 cash and gave it to my friend. The worker didn't offer to remake it and she didn't offer to make a new smoothie. I also got a pound of boiled peanuts - they weren't as salty as the ones at Foodland. They weren't wet nor mushy, but needed some flavor. Boiled peanuts were just okay. A couple of weeks later, I returned and knew to ask upfront for a smoothie without milk. The worker repeated my request and said she will just use water and sugar. Correct. It wasn't as creamy as other places that use a milk alternative, but it wasn't bad. Maybe there are less calories and more fruit! Haha! I wouldn't mind returning and getting another durian smoothie... And maybe even a soursop smoothie!

This isn't my favorite place to go to for fresh fruit smoothies and sugar cane juice, but it's ok. The location is convenient and they also sell a variety of exotic tropical fruits like star apple and mangosteen. It's just a stall on the side of the road, but it's conveniently located on the makai entrance to the maunakea marketplace outdoor area, The service is kinda slow and they aren't that friendly. But they offer boba in the drinks and will accommodate special requests if you have them. I like that they offer flavors like durian and soursop, but I usually just go for the sugarcane juice. At $8 a cup, it's a little on the pricey side. The cups aren't as big as other places and it tasted a little watered down, maybe from all the ice. They also give paper straws which I'm not a fan of. If you're in the area, you can find other places exactly like Chau's that offer a little better quality I think. But you kinda have to find them in random places. I think a lot of people go here because of the location.

Came here for the first time in 2016 and was very glad to see Chau's fruit again in 2023. There are so many fruit smoothies to try, including many exotic or tropical fruit flavors. You have the option to add boba to your smoothie at no extra cost. The service is fast and staff are very friendly. Every time I visit Honolulu, I'll make sure to support this stand!
Do you guys have egg fruit ?
Good selection and price but quite rude.
Amazing selection and great, fast service!
