    Mango - dairy free
    Mike Y.

    mango flavor ice - melt in your mouth shave ice, the flaky type of ice. (not the rough shaved ice) Very light. flavor standard. not too sweet. Wish more quantity with toppings but the mochi was very soft. could definitely eat a bunch more. Fruits are just kept cold but not too frozen. Very nice. - again could have more quantity. Price $9+ - as is rest of HW Good quick stop if you're craving. friendly and fast service. Free cold water on the side after medium sitting inside.

    Chocolate & Coconut

    This flavor combo was so good. Can't go wrong with chocolate haupia. It was so refreshing for a hot summer day. This is the smaller size but the perfect portion for someone who normally doesn't like sweets.

    The ice cream overall was DELICIOUS, they had fresh mochi and fresh fruit. The service was super quick and the server was so nice! The atmosphere was great, there was music playing in the background, and the decorations were so cute. I recommend for a sweet treat after dinner. @ohnoitsjoyce

    fruit tea
    Schawnee G.

    First time trying here! I got the mixed fruit tea with popping boba. So yummy and refreshing. The size is great for the price. I got regular sweetness i think i'll try less sweet the popping boba is already pretty sweet it's self. The drink is also super pretty. Inside is very spacious and clean. I do wanna try some of the dessert options they have. The lady at the register was very sweet.

    Mochi Ball Soup (w/ Ginger Soup)
    Brandon A.

    Everyone needs to know about this place! After dinner, my wife and I went to get dessert. She ordered the mochi ball soup (w/ ginger soup) . The soup was saturated with a deep ginger flavor and mochi balls were filled with delicious sesame and peanut flavor. The strawberry & mango frost had fresh fruit on the side and you could taste real fruit inside the frost. All the mochi felt homemade and made you feel you were in Japan. The frost was unique like eating chewy ice. Highly recommended!

    Refreshing dessert in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... When I visited the King Street, Honolulu, location of Frostcity, I was a bit disappointed. That place needed a renovation! LOL! It seemed rather cramped and lacking in something... In comparison, this second location of Frostcity is 100 percent better! The interior is bright, spacious, cute (there's a claw machine with kawaii plushies), clean, and modern! Thanks for the air-conditioning! Service was cheerful, sweet, and efficient! I ordered the dairy-free lilikoi (passionfruit). It came with fresh fruits and delicious, soft chichi dango mochi! The flavors are frozen into the ice, so it stays flavorful during the entire visit! It was a wonderful ending to a fun day!

    The cool treat... If ever youre' in the Aiea area check out Frostcity newest location in the Aiea Town Square and is right beside Dipped by Dee and as this area is filled with various eateries parking can be a challenge though with a little bit of walk you're sure to find a stall nearby. I love the vibe at this shop it's so bight and cheerful with a claw game right near the front door and as we took a glance at the plushies noticed that with some social posting you can earn free tokens for free play is cool and tempting but I didn't see any reachable cuties for me to take home and decided to pass. What I didn't pass on was their Frost and it was definitely Green Tea which has "popular" icon besides it is promising and that the flavor is in the ice not only makes it uniquely flavorful and that it comes with fresh fruits pineapple and watermelon with chunks of mochi is a sight to behold and though that I couldn't finish the small size did quite well as it was very light and fluffy like a cloud. The staff here is so nice and friendly as she borough our frost to our table the vibe is so bright and nice here in this new spot and happy to have found a place in Aiea that's literally cool! Thank you!

    Tai basil - pineapple
    Lorrie G.

    New Location - Aiea Stopped by and had our favorite Tai Basil. The stars are for the taste of this locations Tai Basil It's not as strong and flavorful. It's ok if you never had this before. We have always had the tai basil that Lyn the original owner made. Again I still liked it but I Love the original flavor. Guess I'll be going back to king street location. This place is convenient - lots of parking and lots of tables and chairs here. That's the good part.

    Frost City definitely brings back memories from their old location by UH. Not shaved ice, yogurt, or ice cream but somewhat in between. This location is so cute and clean! Menu consists of different frosts, smoothies, and boba drinks. All frosts come with toppings such as fresh fruit, boba, and more. Portions are big so you can share. We decided on getting the strawberry and mango frost which came with mochi, watermelon, and grapes. It was so yummy and refreshing especially how hot summer has been. It's way better than what I remember. Service is so friendly as well. It's been almost 10 years since we last had Frost City. Now that they're located in Aiea, we'll definitely be going more often.

    Super Fruit Mix Tea ($6.75/ea)
    Alyssa G.

    I loved going to the Frostcity in town since I was a kid and I was so glad to hear that they opened up a location in Aiea - closer for those that live on the West side! The Aiea location is very spacious and can accommodate multiple small groups. They're open til 10pm and it's perfect for when you're craving something sweet at night or just want somewhere to hang out with friends after dinner! There's also a claw machine inside and they have a promotion going on where if you post something related to Frostcity on your social media, you get two FREE tokens for the claw machine. I was able to win one plushie with it! In terms of snow ice, they're the same great quality as the location in town. The snow ice is super fluffy and delicate. The regular-sized snow ices come with mochi and a variety of fruit on the side (not too sure if it's the same with the smaller size?). You can definitely share a regular size between two people. In terms of drinks, I've only tried the Super Fruit Mix Tea so far. It's very refreshing and not too sweet! For that particular drink, I'd recommend not adding any toppings because there's a lot of fruit in it already.

    Shaved ice meets ice cream! The perfect treat for a hot day! I first had Frost City around 10 years ago and was so sad when I couldn't find it again. I'm so glad it popped back up and this time, near me! I say this is a cross between shaved ice & ice cream because they put frozen fruit juices into the shaver and is thinly shaven. It's creamy, light, and refreshing! My hubby loves strawberry and I love mango so the Strawberry Mango Combo was the perfect treat! I also love that it came with fresh fruit- grapes and watermelon and mochi. To top off our experience, the place was super clean, the workers were so kind and helpful-they moved the tables for us since we had a big party and said to leave our dishes and they'd clean up after us. Lastly, they have a claw machine and there was a sign that said if we followed, posted a photo, and showed the staff, we would get 2 free tokens! Although we didn't win anything, it was still a fun experience. Overall, we will definitely be back to try more of their menu!

    Across from Palazzo restaurant & a few doors down from Dipped by Dee. Plenty of seating, spacious & clean. There's a claw machine as well. Neat menu. The bowls come with watermelon, pineapple & mochi cubes. Tasty, refreshing & esthetically pleasing! Service was friendly & prompt. They have a stamp card too! Buy 10 get & get $5 off!!

    Watermelon!  My go to fav flavor!
    LARA S.

    Love that they opened up in Aiea!!! Although I miss the original University shop because we made so many magical frost memories there. I love the Aiea shop! Bright and clean! Fancy dishes and spoons and trays! They even have added a few board games. I do miss the giant chalk board at the original shop. But the frost is still delicious as ever and there's no need to drive into town for my frost addictions.

    Reopened where samurais was located on the bottom floor next to times…read more They have a lot of crack seed packages and typical samurai swirl soft serve in to-go containers. They only have one size cup for their fresh soft serve. The flavors are constantly changing and the it is super soft and light. They also have fresh popcorn that can be scooped into bags along with mochi crunch or cheddar cheese.

    I can take this off my bookmark list and am pleased to advise I will be back....often!…read more I was beyond sad when Samurai closed this location and have often wondered who would take its place. New owners, basically same products I am once again a happy patron. Ohh, the popcorn. Big popcorn, seasoned with the traditional furukaki-ihurricane seasoning that I crave when watching movies. I'm not saying I'm lazy but I don't like to make my own popcorn, never seem to get it perfect like TOP gets it. I keep wiping my right hand on my capris as I'm writing this because I didn't want to wait. So I ate the soft serve icy ice cream first cuz I wanted to be able to tell you if you liked its predecessor cups and cones you'll be getting much of the same including Ube and Matcha. Parking in the Times lot is plentiful, associates are smiling and helpful. Not tipping asked on CC checkout. A little more expensive than prior owner but everything is so I'm not complaining. Just happy as a piglet in popcorn!

First, the staff is always so kind, accommodating, and patient. If you're ever on the fence, they're always so willing to help guide you in the right direction to give you the best poke experience. Although they've only got a few flavors of Poke, it's perfectly enough! They give you a hefty amount of rice and poke with every bowl; I always have some left over every time and their poke flavors are always SO amazing, regardless of what combination you choose (although, I would recommend their Gingah and Spicy Shoyu together). Although I love their bowls, I would absolutely recommend getting their pound of poke deal. You can divvy up the weight of poke any way you want, so usually my husband and I get a quarter of a different flavor poke and just make our rice at home--the only downside to doing this is that you don't get the fun toppings (furikake and crunchy mochi). Also, just a disclaimer, their space is extremely small with limited bar-type seating, so plan to take your bowl/food to go if you want to be comfortable. The only reason why I'm docking 1 star is because unfortunately, some of their toppings are a little too expensive to add on for the amount that you get. Other than that, Ryder's will not disappoint--I promise! I always recommend this Poke Shop to all of our visitors and I'm not stopping now--try Ryder's out if you're in the area!
