I love Shirokiya in general, but I had yet to discover this place until now. I usually go straight for the takoyaki stand, but I was craving something sweet and was going to get a bubble drink, but then we spotted Crêpe Harajuku next to it and decided to give it a try, and I am so glad that I did! I ordered the crêpe with banana and strawberry with ice cream. There is a glass window between the crêpe making station so you can watch them make this lovely creation, and I have to admit they are definitely crêpe making masters. As for the crêpe itself, it was delicious. It was very light in flavor, but had a nice sweetness to it, as to not overwhelm everything and inside the crêpe was some whip cream, a scoop of vanilla ice and the fruit. The first bite was like heaven. It really hit the sugar craving spot! If I am craving desert style crêpe again, this will definitely be my go to spot! Crêpe Harajuku, until we meet again in your crêpe deliciousness!

Always a pleasure to come to Crêpe Harajuku! The workers here are always very nice, and the amount they give for the price you pay is totally worth it. For a regular crêpe with whipped cream and ice cream, you can choose up to 2 types of fruit, and they drizzle delicious chocolate syrup on it if you would like. The location couldn’t be more convenient(a quick snack in between working or after lunch), and the crêpes couldn’t be more delicious! Will be back again!

I’m not really a big crêpe fan so I usually come here with my sister(who loves crepes). The crêpe comes in a cone shape. It’s convenient to hold and walk with but I cannot eat this while on-the-go. I have a really hard time eating this without making a mess. I always get the peach crêpe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, without the ice cream, it would be boring with just peach, whipped cream and chocolate syrup. Their servers are always nice. They would try to chat with you so you won’t get bored while waiting for them to create your crêpe. They are pretty quick and they would be done with your order in about 2 – 3 minutes.

Crepes? Harajuku? I love crepes, especially Japanese crepes! I had some great ones in Japan and even in Japantown in San Francisco! I wanted something sweet after the ramen I had, so I figured I would try this place. it’s located in Shirokiya on the top floor between the smoothie place and the yogurt place. They do accept credit cards. Well I will say I was quite impressed with the guy with the fastest hands in the 808! I watched the guy make my crêpe; he had mad skills as he made a small dollop of batter turn into a huge flat crispy circle aka crêpe. The customer service here was very good and the guy was very nice and helpful. I like sweet crepes, so I got a chocolate, strawberries and cream crêpe. The crêpe itself wasn’t crispy or flavorful but was chewy and a bit rubbery. The crêpe had very little strawberries and small drizzle of chocolate but a whole lot of cream. It was a bit disappointing. Chewy and too creamy… Not my type of crêpe. Maybe it was just one bad crêpe. I will give them another chance some time and update my review if my experience changes… ^^*

I’m not sure if this place is affiliated with the one in Beverly Hills that has the same name. I’ve always wanted to try it out though. I walked into Shirokiya with my daughter and right away Crêpe Harajuku caught my eye. I was so excited!!! Right away i ordered a crêpe with banana, chocolate syrup, vanilla ice cream, & whip cream. It cost me about $ 6.50. I watched the lady make it fresh. She handed it to me in a cone & i went in on it. Smells & taste delicious! Loved it! I’m just not sure how to eat it lol. I ate the inside contents first and then ate the outside. Very yummy! A must everytime i’m at Ala Moana!

This is the first place I’ve ever had an crêpe shaped like and snow cone. It’s awesome! These things are huge! & they have the most delicious whipped cream. You can choose from strawberries, peaches, bananas or. mango? or kiwi? I don’t remember the 4th choice. Price range $ 5 — $ 7 depending if you want ice cream or 2 choices of fruit. It also comes with chocolate syrup. They make it so fast and clean. I love watching them make the crêpe. I’ve seen other places pour on the batter, but this place paints it on the hot plate, it smells so heavenly. Must have if you’re in Shirokiya!

I never knew crepes were so delicious! This place is the crêpe equivalent of a japanese teppanyaki restaurant(think Crêpe Benihana). There is a young guy that’s made my last few crepes and he’s got some madd skillz with the utensils. I don’t know if all the staff have as much flair but I’m sure the crepes all taste just as good. Crêpe fabrication takes about 3 agonizing minutes so be prepared to wait… ;) I’ve only ordered the crêpe with banana, cream, and chocolate sauce(why switch up a good thing?) but I plan on trying the one with ice cream next. Oh yeah, don’t forget to bring some dollar bills to tip the crêpe maker if you get a show… MAKEITRAIN!!!

So glad I found this place on Unilocal while looking for a crêpe place for dessert! It’s nothing too fancy, but you shouldn’t get too crazy with crepes. I got the crêpe with ice cream, whipped cream, strawberries, and chocolate syrup which was SOGOOD. You have to get the ice cream. I got my crêpe and sat on the side. Imagine seeing a little Asain girl pigging out on this deliciousness… It was a little hard to eat as the ice cream began to melt, but I tried to be graceful about it. Thank goodness they give lots of napkins!

The crêpe that is shaped like an ice cream cone! Located inside Shirokiya in Ala Moana Mall. It’s soft shell crêpe is amazing, but everything in here seems like I could do it myself. I mean it’s all basic and a little too pricey for something I can really make at home! The girl is nice and friendly and does a great job making the crepes, it’s just not worth it. The taste, and the cost… I mean it’s nice to experience it, but once was enough. I wouldn’t come here if my husband didn’t love and crave crêpe so much!

Just because i don’t know much crêpe places in town, this is my default place to go. Located in shirokiya, you’ll find mini station of delight! They offer peaches, strawberry, or banana with whip cream,(which btw, it’s pretty thick) chocolate &/or nutella. You do have a choice of ice cream, but seriously… who says no to ice cream? When created with desired fillings, they’ll wrap it in a cone shape, which is easy to eat… nothing like those ones they put in a plate where you need a fork, or spork… affordable, friendly, delicious!

I love Crêpe Harajuku! This place is located in Shirakiya in Alamo Ana shopping center. They are rather reasonable compared with other crêpe places in Waikiki and Ala Moana areas. $ 6 will get you a crêpe with 2 fruit toppings, ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. People who work there have so much pride making their crepes… their crepes look so full and beautiful! The staffs are very nice and friendly. I will never ever go back to Crêpe house in Waikiki. I would walk for 30 min to Ala Moana just to get better crepes.

Crepes are one of those things you just can’t mess up(IMO). really really thin batter on a hot plate filled with anything you want from sweets to savory. I am not a fan of the savory kind(or i just haven’t had a good one?) My first memory of crepes are the ones from Todai(not sure if they still do this as the last few times i’ve been back, they were never had) and since it was a while ago, i was a kid. i didn’t know any better. they were good! and i ate lots of it b/c i knew how pricy they were to buy anywhere else anyways, fast forward a few years, and i end up in Harajuku, Japan, the land famous for their fruit and ice cream crepes. I fell in love and sadly, Hawaii, the land with the most Japanese tourists, did not serve this delicious treat. There have been a few that opened and shut though The one in Shirokiya comes pretty close to perfect in my tummy. When I first ordered this thing, I was barely even able to eat b/c I was stuffed from dinner, but I was craving ice cream and this seemed perfect. At about $ 6 you get a choice of fruit and ice cream. I always get bananas and vanilla ice cream. I like to keep is simple. Nothing more unless its chocolate syrup. or syrup itself. yum. these things are huge and if I had to compare it to the ones I’ve had in Japan(and i just came back a week ago so it’s still fresh in my mind) its one of the biggest I’ve had and the 2nd best i’ve had. and i had a few in Japan on my most recent visit. I just wish I was at the mall more. I’d eat this all the time. and if you must know, yes, i do finish this all by myself, and i’m damn proud of it(oh and it gets messy from the ice cream so have lots of napkins around) If the owners are reading this, i think one way for you to improve is just making the batter a little thinner and cooked a little longer so its a little crisper(maybe just a few extra seconds) that would do the trick if it was just crisper on the edges as i bite into my scrumptious crepes

Yum! So after running at Ala Moana Park, my friend and I decided to eat crepes. Real logical exercise routine there, right? Work out then eat desserts. I know I’m not the only one guilty of doing this… Anyway, I love watching them put it together. They’ll make it fresh right it front of you. You get the choice of doing it with or without ice cream. Note that you get two fruit choices! I didn’t know and ordered only banana… would’ve loved strawberries with it too. Topped with whipped cream and chocolate syrup, this makes for one tasty snack… I will try my hardest not to eat dessert right after I run next time… ha. **8/31 Unilocal Review Challenge**

For those who know me, they know that I’m a HUGE dessert person. Even though I’m stuffed after a hearty meal, I always have room for dessert! I secretly think I have a separate stomach for desserts but that has yet to be confirmed. I was pretty full after lunch, but my friends and I decided to get dessert anyway! We ended up going to Shirokiya where my friends got Smoothies and I got an ice cream crêpe. Yes, the smallest girl got the biggest dessert… I was afraid it was going to take a while, but they were surprisingly speedy! I ordered the strawberry, pineapple, ice cream crêpe. I thought the fruits would be fresh, but the pineapple was from a can.): I also don’t care for whipped cream so I asked the girl to make it sans whipped cream. She offered to give me extra ice cream in replacement. I was pleasantly surprised again! When I got my crêpe, I almost couldn’t finish it because it was so big! I should’ve read the Unilocal reviews first because I didn’t know that we could’ve ordered a mini size… Learned my lesson the hard way! Yes, the prices are a little steep but all crepes are pretty pricey in Hawaii. The reason I can’t give this place five stars though? Not all fresh fruits and the ice cream was kind of melty before I even started eating it.): 31 Unilocal Review Challenge: #3 of 31

I’ve been eyeing out this place for quite some time now… and I finally had a crêpe from here. OMG… it was good… but too much cream. I started eating one and I was done by the time I ate half, but I couldn’t stop… so I ended up eating the whole thing. After that I felt so guilty… I didn’t know they have mini sizes… but next time I’m definitely getting a mini! It’s not like the real deal Harajyuku Japan crepes, but it’s pretty close!

After stuffing my face with a salty bowl of ramen, I wanted something sweet. Right before my eyes was Harajuku Crepes. How can I resist? I like that they have a mini size available, because the regular size looked way too big for a post-meal dessert(now if I had an empty stomach, that would have been an entirely different story!). The choices for the fillings are limited as compared to other crêpe places(basically strawberry and bananas), but it works for me because I normally take my crepes with just strawberries, chocolate, ice cream, and whipped cream. Yummy-licious!

Harajuku Crepes is probably the closest you can get to getting a Japanese crêpe in HI. I went through a crêpe phase and literally craved for their crepes everyday. My fav is the strawberry & banana crêpe. They give you a pretty good size and a lot of whip cream which is a plus in my book! They also have mini sizes which is actually the perfect size… not saying that I can’t eat the regular one. I’ve tried other crêpe places but haven’t found anyone better than Harajuku Crepes!

Finally this place has it’s own page. I’ve been checking in using the Shirokiya page but they deserve their own spot. The ice cream crêpe is awesome. Bananas and strawberries is my choice. They serve it like a cone so you can scoop it out. G

I love crepes! This is the perfect stop after eating all the yummy food Shirokiya has to offer. The crepes here are made well and they have two sizes, mini and regular. The mini is quite big! It will fill you up! I love the banana, nutella, and of course, whipped crème! They make the crepes very fast and the price can’t be beat! Try one today!
