    Great place for your shave ice fix. Staff is very welcoming and very kind. I would highly recommend coming here and bringing your keiki.

    Easy to get to in Ewa Beach, easy parking since it's located in a shopping plaza. Small store but they have good shaved ice and so many flavors to choose from. I ordered the tigers blood and cherry which was yum. Seemed pretty inexpensive compared to other places. They also have add-ins like ice cream, condensed milk etc. - I didn't try it but others in my party seemed to like it.

    Ewa Seed Company is an iconic hole in the wall shave iced spot located in Ewa Town Center. I've grown up in this place. For the past 20 or so years, I've visited this shop consistently with my dad and brother. The owner, an older Japanese man served us for a long time, making us the best shave ice ever and having great customer service. My best memory of this place was when they sold 2 for $1 hotdogs about a decade back. One time, we went to go in for hotdogs, and my dad accidentally forgot his wallet. My dad mentioned that he would be right back while he ran back to the house to grab some cash. The owner was so kind enough to say 'no need, the next time just come back.' The next time we came back, the uncle said 'that's okay. It was on me.' Yes, it was only a dollar but I still remember that act of kindness even though it was a decade ago. Although I don't see him in there anymore, the workers consistently show the aloha spirit and serve the amazing shave ice that I remember as a little kid. Thank you Ewa Seed Company for raising me and feeding me the best shaved ice!

    Ewa Seed Company is a classic crack seed shop that is so unique to Hawaii. From shave ice, lemon peel snacks, and li hing mui everything- Ewa Seed Company has the goods to bring you back to the good ole days. Over the many years of me coming here, I haven't tried all of the flavor combinations, but I'm sure I'm close. Here are some of my favorite flavors offered here: Haupia Guava POG Lilikoi Lychee Melona (sugar free) Ube What I really love about the shave ice here is 1) the quality of ice and how fine they shave the ice and 2) that they put a layer of syrup half way through the ice and top it again with syrup on top. Here are some of my favorite add-ons to top of your shave ice: Snow cap/ condensed milk Li Hing Mui Ube ice cream, and they actually put the ice cream in the middle of the shave ice. I started coming here my freshmen year of high school. My dad would take me to get shave ice after sports practice and it was always the best treat. The previous owner, Dean, would always remember us and we had the best conversations. For that, thank you Ewa Seed Company for being a pillar in our community and keeping the crack seed store nostalgia alive on the west side.

    Hands down THE BEST shave ice on O'ahu! Forget all the other names you've heard of. There's no need to go to the North Shore to get bomb ass shave ice! Come here and visit Uncle Ben at Ewa Seed Company in Ewa Beach! I recently returned home for a little RnR before Thanksgiving and had to pay Uncle a quick visit. I would frequent his shop while living on island from 2012-2015. He is the sweetest and the portions he serves gives you so much for your money! He has a whole list of flavors and also offers other goodies in his shop. Some things you'll find are various li hing mui items, gummy candies, chips, drinks and novelty items too. I'm not sure if it's his ice shaving machine that's different from all the rest but OMG it makes the ice so fluffy and perfect! I hate getting shave ice and trying to scoop it out with a spoon only to be disappointed when the top falls off because it's ROCK HARD!! Lol! You won't have that problem here, TRUST!! I usually get a child size or small and even that's big to me, hahaha! You can choose up to 3 flavors and add vanilla ice cream and mochi for a small fee. I always do because it's so yummy!! The mochi stays soft too! If you ever find yourself on the west side of O'ahu, you owe it to yourself to try this place out! Ample parking available in the shopping center and you'll always be treated with aloha here. =) Pricing is great as most other places cost more. Stop by, support this local small business and tell Uncle Ben I said ALOOOOHAAAAA!!! ;)

    Love the hole in the wall! Really good shave ice and cool assortment of dried and pickled items.

    Stopped in for our last shave ice fix before flying back to NYC later that day. I got the guava and the dreamsicle, which I assume is like an orange creamsicle but I wasn't getting any of the cream flavor. It tasted more like tangerine, which I didn't love. The guava was good though. Texture of the ice was also good. My sis and hubby both got mochi balls but that wasn't good. It ended up melding into one giant ball for some reason, so I would skip it. After we ate our shave ice, we went back in to order a medium one to take home to my BIL. They live about a two minute drive away so some of it melted, expectedly so. But the guy asked if we were taking it to go and when we said yes, he gave us a large one at no extra charge. So nice of him! It's a small store but they sell other things like snacks and candy. It's also located in the same lot as Foodland and CVS, so there is plenty of parking.

    New ownership. Quality went way down, nowhere near as good as it used to be. Won't be coming back.

    I would rate the experience and the shaved ice a 10/10. It for sure has a neighborhood feel. It is a small shop with a lot of character. The people there were really friendly and welcoming. I for sure will come back when I'm in the area!

    Li hing mui and pickled mango shave ice.
    Andy D.

    Every time I come back to Hawai'i, I always stop here for some shave ice and I always get a medium with li hing mui and pickled mango syrup. It's the only the only place I've ever seen this flavor and it's so delicious & refreshing. The medium is a perfect size for me and only three bucks with some change, it's a good bang for your buck. They have a few sugar free flavors too which are also tasty. Uncle who runs the shop is always super friendly. He always offers me a punch card even though I'm never home long enough to get it filled out and I lose it before my next trip. They have a decent collection of crack seed and candy but really I just go for the shave ice.

    This place has been here since my middle school days or even before that. Great place to go after the beach or park (thumbs up emoji). I got the li hing gummy bear and mango w/ ice cream and mochi balls w/ li hing powder in a medium size. My brother got the blue Hawaii, Wedding cake, coconut w/ mochi balls in a small size. I definitely miss the home made mochi balls and it was the first time the owner wasn't there to make our shave ice (sad face emoji). I still like their shave ice though.

    Long Overdue: My First Time at Azuma's (And Why I'm Already Planning My Return)…read moreOkay, I have to be honest with you all -- I've been sleeping on Azuma's. For months, people have been telling me about their dried aku, and I kept saying "soon, soon." Well, soon finally happened, and I have nobody to blame but myself for waiting this long. Now, before I go any further -- yes, I forgot to take photos. I know. I know. But here's the thing: the moment that dried aku hit the table, all my food blogger instincts went completely out the window. It was just me and that fish, and nothing else mattered. The dried aku was everything the hype promised -- deeply savory, with that concentrated, almost smoky flavor you only get when something is made with real patience and skill. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. Absolutely ono. No notes. Next time -- and there will be a next time, probably very soon -- I'm going in for the laulau. I have a feeling it's going to be just as worthy of the word-of-mouth buzz. Watch this space. Azuma's -- go. Just go.

I've had my share of various thin sliced beef jerky but no one does it like Chyler's and finding them at the Hawai'i Shop Local Pop Up in Ala Moana Center where the vibe is so lively. It literally is beef chips as it's super thin and very crispy though not lacking flavor at all as this magical snack just hits the spot knowing I'm having something not just healthy but so yummy as well. Not sure...they will happily give you samples which this visit was no different and it was either regular or black pepper and this spicy lover went for it and no samples was needed as I got a bag knowing that as soon as it's open nothing will be left behind for anyone. The staff there is always so nice and friendly with any questions I may have and finding them on this holiday event was the best as it will make someone that I know happy this holiday for this yummy treat.
