They have several flavors to choose from, Tiger's Blood to Ube, sweet yam. They offer the option to add any flavor of ice cream to be an added base to your shaved ice cup or bowl. Affordable shaved ice, that wasn't over 10 bucks. I got the minimum choice of 3 flavors at the least but you can add as many flavors as you desire. I chose Sour Apple, Strawberry, and Ube. The sweet and sour combo of my shaved ice had me feeling like I was enjoying sour patch kids candy. I enjoyed my experience at Island Snow amd can't wait to visit again.

The ice itself was fine, I definitely like it more than Matsumotos. Double the price though. Tastes less artificial. They poked holes so that the flavor would distribute really well.

The acai base was smooth and topped with fresh bananas, blueberries, and strawberries. I also really liked the quinoa puffs! The price was a little steep, close to $15 for an acai bowl, but with the cost of everything going up these days, I can't blame them. Overall, Lanikai Juice is a solid choice for a refreshing and satisfying treat!

You can order online and pickup. Staff seems to rotate often but they're always friendly and helpful. My fav is the Acai Extravaganza bowl.

I ordered the combo seafood plate with teriyaki chicken. My wife got some fried noodle with chicken plate. We really loved my plate, which had a fried fish cutlet and 4 fried shrimp plus the chicken. Everything was cooked perfectly and had amazing flavor. The fish itself had an amazing crunch when you cut into it. Like the most crispiest thing ever. My wife's plate....was not that great. Noodles lacked flavor and the chicken as well. The portions are honestly huge for one person. If you plan to eat hurt for a quick bite, I recommend sharing the combo plates. Before I forget, the Mac salad was amazing! The employees were nice and quick to get the food out! The restaurant itself was clean.

Unfortunately, we've had multiple issues with Oh My Grill in Kailua. When we dined in, I waited…read moreover 30 minutes for my food. I even asked about my order, but instead of double checking it, I could see some of the staff laughing and playing around. Eventually they realized my food had been made and packaged as a to go order. Another time, we called in an order about 15 minutes before arriving. When we got there, the employee hadn't checked on our order, which was already made and just sitting on the counter and we ended up waiting another 15 minutes. To top it off, they refused to accept my $100 bill because a tiny piece of the corner was torn off. The bill came directly from my bank that way and was otherwise intact. I understand businesses can have policies regarding damaged bills, but combined with the repeated order issues and lack of attention, it made the whole experience even more frustrating. I don't normally leave negative reviews, but the service and attention to customers definitely need improvement.

I wanted to mix it with the honeydew milk tea which would be a dollar extra but the cashier suggested just to stick with the taro milk bubble tea. She says the smoothie is the most popular. When she handed me my drink, it was so cute. And it's an eco cup. Almost had this sense of feeling being back in Japan. It was so Kawaii. The taro milk bubble tea with the boba was probably one of the best I've ever had. It was so tasty, so delightful. It almost tasted like bubblegum, which brings me back to my childhood. I'm very happy.

Not too sweet. Very good. The sesame mochi balls were amazing, smooth and sweet! Perfect pairing with the ginger soup that was warm and spicy. Love it here!
