Make the trip to this gem. Owners take pride in their craft and their preparation and ingredients are top notch. Ask them how much time and energy they put into the water, ice and preparation of the shave ice itself. They have mastered it!

Let me start by saying I’m not a shave Ice aficionado in fact I think this was my first time having a shaved ice. Walking up to the counter was a bit overwhelming as there are so many choice’s. The line was long and I didn’t want to hold it up so I let some people pass. I chose to go with custard shave ice with the original flavor. I loved it the custard was buried in a mound of coconut flavor shaved Ice. The serving was large and the flavor went through and through. Would absolutely go back.

Cheap and affordable shaved ice. The lines are long but they move quickly and the flavors are delicious. The shaved ice is smooth and the storefront entrance to the little gift shop is pretty cool. Don't forget to snag a picture next to the little shaved ice mascots.

Some of the best shaved ice I’ve ever had. They hype was real. We actually went back and got seconds because we knew we’d probably not have another chance to try it again for years. So good. Please open up a shop in Houston, TX.

Tasty shaved ice. I like the custard one. The lady recommended original flavor but I should of chose my own. The whole thing only tasted like milk.

A local recommended this place to me and they did not disappoint me at all. I ordered the cotton candy and bubble gum flavors and they were perfect on a hot day in Oahu. I was only on the island for 3-4 days and I had to get this twice.

There's a lot of hype and I was expecting to be blown away by the flavors. The great thing about this place is the use of natural cane sugar vs corn syrup (if that matters to you).It's not bad but not great. It's a great place for an intro to shave ice

Great stop after a wonderful bike ride with Kelly. The shave ice was sooooo smooth, and lots of flavors to choose from, worth the stop.

It’s delicious! For those who’ve said that it’s no different then what they could get in Chicago for example, did you get it with the condensed milk and ice cream? That’s what makes it different.

Pretty sure it is a crime to go to Hawaii and not have shave ice. A great shave ice is going to have two components right: ice and syrup. The ice here was the exact texture you want it hold the flavor of the syrup but does not have a bite. The syrup was a bit of a let down as they did not taste like fresh versions of the fruit. Worth visiting but have found better places on other islands.
