They're very short and clipped, which I get because there were quite a few people in line, but when we went back up to ask a question, they were not willing to help until we (overtly and somewhat rudely) had to flag them down. Now, it seems like whoever is pouring the syrup is REALLY inconsistent. My shave ice was perfect. Well doused through and through without pooling in the bottom. However my mom's coconut was literally made with maybe a tablespoon of syrup. 80% of the entire ice had no flavor at all, and when we asked about it, they were quite rude saying "you can see some right here". So for that, you're kinda rolling the dice, I suppose. If it's close by, might be worth a shot, but I'd caution driving here form further away since it seems like you don't really know what you'll get. They also charge $0.52 for an extra empty cup, which seems a little chinsy to me.

Loved it!! What a cute place and the cutest lady running it!…read moreWe all thoroughly enjoyed our super freshly prepared pad Thai (w/chicken and tofu), parang curry, kolbi chicken, chicken satay and probably a couple other things. We had a group of 10 people so I kind of forget what else we ordered. The place was recommended to us by our kids' group zip lining guide (which we had done earlier the same day), and he was completely right! We are from Kansas City, KS and the Thai dishes were very different from the pad Thai and the parang curry we are used to eating here! Definitely recommend if you are in the area and if you can hit the place in time (places in Hawaii were closed at odd times and days- we think and were told has been due to the pandemic and staff/ supply shortages). So anytime we found a place to eat, which could seat us when we needed a place, we considered ourselves lucky! If the food was good, that was a bonus! Yelp continues to be our resource for food when travelling 99.9% of the time, and it has not disappointed yet!

The flavors taste very "synthetic" or more traditional syrups rather than the natural flavors that have been circulating. The service was SO great. The guy in the window honestly made our day, so a trip here for the service alone is probably worth it. There is no seating, which is kinda a bummer. All in all, if you like ice cream in your shave ice, try this place. If you like traditional flavors, try this place. If you want to sit down to some "natural" juice flavors, maybe try a different one.
