    Mango
    Nicole B.

    Saw a reel on IG about this place & could not wait to try it. Their truck is located behind the blue aloha truck. Had to wait a couple minutes for the lady to finish someone's order (since it's only one person, be patient!) They gave me a buzzer and within 4 minutes my dessert was ready. This dessert is huge, definitely made for two people I think. I ate half, and saved the rest to take home. It is so delicious. The ice cream, the topping and the mangos were sweet. I will definitely be coming back another time to try more flavors.

    I had never heard of shaved milk until I heard about this place and sounds very appealing. By far exceeded my expectations and uses real fruit. If I were to make a suggestion to the owner it would be to dice the mint leaf and sprinkle it on as it's a great and niche bonus flavor--or make it an option! Looking for dessert? It's a great option especially on a hot day. Very fortunate to have this place close by

    Mango bingsoo

    The BEST bingsu I've ever had! Came here once before this trip and though Yelp said they were open, they were unfortunately closed. Finally came back a year later an hour after they opened and was so happy that they were open and ready to take orders. You place an order and they give you a buzzer for when your bingsu is ready. It took some time but it was well worth the wait! You can walk around the other restaurants/ food trucks while you wait. The mango was sweet and not tart whatsoever. The condensed milk evenly coated the ice and the ice was the softest texture. Each bite was heavenly and had me craving the next bite. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend this spot!

    First time stopping here and the Mango Bingsu lived up to the hype! I can see why it's the most popular item. So delicious and refreshing. The woman working was incredibly kind and welcoming. While I was eating, two families came up to me asking what it was because it looked so good. It is a bit tucked away but it's in the same area as all the other food trucks in Kahuku.

    Mango the best.

    This is one of the reasons we keep coming back to the islands year after year. Their Badabingsu is the perfect sweet, creamy treat--easily a top-10 "island dessert" for me. It was so good we came back twice on this trip (and honestly, having a red-eye flight home means you can squeeze one in before heading to the airport... highly recommend). The young woman who's always working when we stop in is genuinely kind and welcoming--super sweet, just like the dessert. If you're on the fence, don't be. Listen to Steve and just go.

    They're always so nice and friendly here and I was so glad that they're open again. I've been stalking their Instagram to see when they were open again and let me tell you the mango bingsu hit the spot like always. The fruit is always so fresh and the ice just melts in your mouth. I always get either the strawberry or mango one but they're so worth it for the big portion sizes.

    So happy got to try this during our stay. I wish we were able to go back. One of the best and fine shaved ice i have eaten. You can never go wrong with Fresh fruit and coconut ice cream!! A must when you're in North shore. Service is amazing friendly people. East to locate and cute place.

    This was probably the best dessert we had on our entire trip! The mango was insanely sweet, and with SO much mango which I loved. There is only one lady working inside, so service may take a bit longer and sometimes the window is closed, but it is totally worth the wait. Just be patient. They are a food truck located next to Kahuku Sugar Mill where there are plenty of other food trucks too. The whole area was such a vibe!

    The best sweet treat ever!!! We got there a little before they opened, there was already a line starting to form behind us. Service was pretty quick for us because we were second in line. However, even if there was a long wait for it.... It's SO worth it! Hubby and I shared the mango and mommy in law got the honey dew. The fruit is so fresh and it pairs so well with the light/creamy coconut ice cream. The servings are huge! Love this place!!!!

    Sometimes closed, sometimes sold out, electricity might be off on certain days, but I still show up because this bingsu is amazingly delicious. The fruits, ice/condensed milk consistency. It all just works and please just take my monies. Melona, mango and Strawberry is my go to here.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "You MILK my dreams come true! A strawberry n' mango bingsu from Badabingsu. It's not often that I make my way out to Kahuku, but when I do, this is a must have. From the frozen shaved milk n' tasty toppings (mango is the best imo!), to the creamy coconut ice cream, this fave of mine is well worth the wait. You'll leave indulging this feeling great!" Staff: only 1 person so pls be patient Exterior: 2 picnic tables right in front Wait time: varies, 15-45mins during my visits Parking: many spaces in lot Overall comments: the perfect treat to beat the heat! One bingsu can feed 2 people. Highly recommend eating outside as the toppings can spill over, but wet wipes are available as your hands will get sticky. You'll be dreaming about this dessert bc it's that good. The texture of the shaved milk n' sweet toppings has me coming back again n' again!

    Really wanted to try this Korean style shave ice for a while now so finally made the drive to the North Shore on a Saturday. Firstly, they had a sign saying they would not open until 4pm. Check their Instagram page for updated hours! We killed some time at the Kahuku beer garden before making our way back at 3:55pm. A line of about 8 people had already formed. We placed our order for two shave ice at 4:10pm ish and were given a buzzer (which didn't work but told us which order number we were). Now the reason for three stars is that the operation is run by one woman only. She took everyone's orders who had lined up, maybe about 14 people? And then closed her window to start making the shave ice. Her sign on the front said 'closed' and she did not take it down. As we waited for our order, many groups of people walked up, saw the sign and walked away. A few asked other people around if she was open and would then patiently wait at the closed window until she popped out with a completed order. She would then take the new orders while she was at the window. A group of girls said they had shown up the day before and walked away after seeing the closed sign. We told them to wait until she popped out and they would be able to order. She is losing a lot of customers and needs to hire another person to assist her. Or come up with a better way to take orders and make orders without people not knowing if she is even open. We got our order about 50min after ordering which is a pretty long wait for two shave ice. Yes, the presentation is really pretty, the fruit was fresh tasty, the ice very soft and not too sweet and the coconut ice cream was really good! BUT considering there are other Korean style shave ice places on the island, I won't be going back.

    Nothing could stop us from trying this place out! Rain or shine we were determine to give it a try!! I must say this is one of my favorite shaved ice spots on the island. Wish they had other locations open. It's similar to Jejubing in Alamoana but I gotta say this one is in the top of my list!! The mango was perfect and the milk ice was so addicting! Let's just say we had to get a second order in cause it was so good! Expect to wait about 20-30mins tho cause they can get busy and it looks like they only have 2 people working!

    Mango (yum!)

    Sweet Bites - Rolled icecream

    Sweet Bites

    Having had rolled ice cream before, I knew it would take a while before my order of 1 vanilla shake…read moreand 1 rolled mango would be ready. So I returned to my table in front of the steak truck to wait since the 2 tables fronting Sweet Bites had zero shade. I paid $23 cash including a tip which was about $2...I did not receive a receipt. After 8 mins I went to stand in front of the window where they couldn't miss me. And stood another 8 mins. When they started giving out orders to 2 people that came AFTER me I moved to the order window, which was closed. FINALLY after a few MORE minutes of being ignored, the guy who was rolling the ice cream came to the side door. I told him what I had ordered: a vanilla shake and a rolled mango ice cream. That's when he told me they were OUT of vanilla. So I told him I needed to ask my friend what else she'd want. Then I asked about my ice cream and he said he HADNT EVEN STARTED ON MY ORDER...even AFTER sending out the orders (plural) of people who came AFTER me. PREPOSTEROUS! Long story short, my friend didn't care for any of the flavors so I went back to cancel the shake. And since I didn't feel like waiting ANOTHER 10 mins for him to roll the ice cream, I cancelled the entire order. Here's the kicker: he gave me $19.50 back when I paid $23.00. BIGTIME RIPOFF, ADDING INSULT TO INJURY! NEVER EVER GOING BACK! Why won't this let me remove the one star? This place gets a big fat ZERO from me.

    the ice cream is good its a bit of a wait but its okay kinda steep pricing for rolled ice creamread more

    My husband initially wanted to take me out to a nice place for our anniversary and he had the…read moreCrouching Lion in mind. I had Roy's Beach House in mind. He relented and agreed to stop by Crouching Lion after Roy's just to get the bug out of his system, since we've both never been to the original Crouching Lion, now with a new owner after 2020. We have both never been to Roy's Beach House or Lion before, good thing we came here first (read my dismal review for C.L.)! I warned him that it was going to be expensive here, with some reviewers reporting $160 for lunch (thank you to those who mention the price, which I find is sorely lacking in reviews lately - guess everyone's a millionaire and price doesn't matter). RESERVATIONS: We didn't make any via Open Table (not my favorite platform). We were able to get a seat at opening time of 1130 AM on a Saturday in Sept. Less than 10 minutes wait. Judging by the outfits of everyone before us, they just stepped off the beach or casually sauntered in. PARKING: on the grounds of the Turtle Bay Ritz-Carlton. Valet park with validation or find parking in the lot, which is free (beach access) and walk a short distance. Roy's is not inside the hotel itself, but a free-standing business off to the side, right on the beach. AMBIANCE: Beach vibes with shorts and T shirts. We wore aloha attire because it was our special day. Open air dining with umbrellas or indoor patio dining to open air. Loved the ocean breezes from our beach-front view. Live music which was very good added to the tropical ambiance! SERVICE: Wells was our server, 5-star all the way!! We mentioned it was our anniversary and at the end she brought out a scoop of sherbet with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate in Hawaiian, too cool!! All of the other servers were very attentive, waters refilled, used dishes removed promptly. Never a wait for anything. DRINKS: all excellent!! Habanero Margarita ($18 - 4/5 buzz rating): I don't balk at the prices of cocktails anymore, since it's the standard to pay crazy prices. This one was worth it, super smooth, spicy as heck (your choice of habanero, japapeno or chipotle), great taste, super fresh drink. Yummy! Roy's Beach House so far has the highest buzz rating of any restaurant I've been (except for Cheeky Tiki in Kona and ), and it's not only the empty stomach talking either. Their stuff is quality. Pineapple Infused Martini ($18 - 4/5 buzz rating): Fresh pineapples sitting in vodka for 10 days, mixed up and chilled w/ other ingredients, amazing! My husband ordered this and I got a sip, which was super delicious. Roy's signature are the infused pineapples, which I have seen at other locations. Nice. APPETIZERS: Calamari ($25): our least favorite thing here. Breaded in mochiko and deep fried. Teeny tiny pieces, with a white aioli sauce. Disappointing for the price, will skip this if we ever come back. Go to Haleiwa Beach House for the best calamari, hands down! The white sauce was also blah. Haleiwa Beach House serves their deep fried, meaty calamari with a spicy nuoc cham sauce, which I love. Fish Tacos - two pieces ($20): our favorite appetizer, as recommended by Wells, and some passing wait staff. Delicious, fresh!! Both were on a flour tortilla with fresh veggies and catch of the day (swordfish). Very light, not very filling but loved it. We are still craving this. MAINS: Lobster Roll ($40): My husband's order. I tried a bite, very delicious! Side of thick-cut fries. The roll was not very greasy, which was nice. More lobster than bread, which was a nice touch. Medium sized. Misoyaki Glazed Salmon ($36): Namul vegetables, wasabi butter and black rice. Very nice dish with a medium-portioned size of Salmon fillet, which was cooked just right and very delicious. PRICE: Total Cost before tip: $195 (rounded up). If you're trying to add up from what we ordered above, don't...we ordered more drinks! RETURN FACTOR: Will definitely come back for drinks and the fish tacos, will skip the calamari next time.

    Located on the beach, so great chill vibe. Started w/ the Signature Infused Martini @ $18, highly…read morerecommended by our server - tastes like a pina colada. Tasty but didn't seem to fit in the "martini" category. We shared: Caesar Salad, Karikari (cooked salmon) Roll and Grilled Ribeye. Our server had other recommendations- we probably should have gone with those. Dinner was good, but everything seems to have a lot of sauce; food didn't have that "wow" for us (the "Loaded Yama Mashed Potato" was a side & that was pretty impressive). Was hoping for a better sushi selection (basic nigiri- something not drenched in a sauce). You're pretty limited on restaurant choices in this area, so I would go again, but maybe stick with seafood or appetizers.
