Once the snowcapped area was eaten.. there was zero flavor. I told the owner n he added more syrup. Again no flavor. All he said was sorry. Didn't bother asking to get a new one since I had half..but he should have offered something esp two of us complained n threw half of it away. Gave him a one star since he did not want to attempt to fix the issue. See the pic.

Not bad at all. I got the shave ice with the rainbow flavors. It was perfectly sweet without…read morefeeling like you'll get diabetes. The shave ice is soft yet has a good crunch to it. I also ask for vanilla ice cream on mine but I feel they use low-quality ice cream as I barely tasted the vanilla on mine. The ice cream visually looked crystallized as well like it was thawed below temp and refreezed causing the separation of water and the ice cream ingredients. I'll try them once more later because I really like that this is close to home.

I know I've passed it many times on the way to Makaha beach and Pray for Sets. A friend had recommended this place and since we were close by, we decided to drop in. From the moment we entered, we felt like valued guests. The employees were friendly, hospitable, and were super thankful for our business. I ordered rainbow with ice cream and azuki beans. Loved the fact that they use Dave's ice cream (and not the cheap stuff that's probably not even ice cream). The ice is powdery and snow soft and melts in your mouth! The ratio of syrup to ice is just right - it was not overly sweet like some other places. Prices are also SUPER reasonable compared to other tourist places. They also sell aloha wear and accessories, making this place a one stop shop for all your local needs. Definitely make the trip to Makaha to get some delicious shaved ice then walk across the street to enjoy it on the beach.

We stopped by a shaved ice food truck in Oahu and it was such a great treat on a warm day. The…read moreshaved ice was soft, fluffy, and full of flavor. The syrups tasted really good and refreshing, making it the perfect way to cool down. The service was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The staff were kind and helpful while we ordered. If you're in Oahu and craving something sweet and refreshing, this shaved ice food truck is definitely worth a stop.

Been wanting to try this spot ever since I heard it opened last year. Definitely the spot to visit…read morewhen you're in need of a sweet treat after walking around the mall. Located near Old Navy across from Johnny Rockets. The store was very clean and vibrant. I ordered the Coffee Craz snow ice and hubbs ordered a Thai Tea Float. If you're a coffee lover, the Coffee Craz is perfect for you. The snow ice was drenched in rich coffee flavor covered with condensed milk with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream wasn't just plain vanilla either; it was a special deluxe flavor that I can't quite describe. All I can say is it went so perfectly with all the flavors combined. Service was quick and friendly. So glad I found a snow ice spot close to home, will definitely be returning again!

We came here for some dessert while at Kamakanalii Mall. The staff was friendly and the store was…read moreclean and inviting. There were cute decorations especially for Halloween time. My boys got an ube ice cream to share and they loved it. We'll definitely be back to try some of their dessert shave ice bowls. Happy eating!

Stumbled across this place after discovering Lanikai Juice closed next door. We decided to share…read moreand ordered a regular Sunset shave ice. This place is the real deal. I was always a fan of Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha. Super sad when they closed some years back! Let me just say Island Shave Ice & Creamery is my new favorite! Sunset is the perfect blend of Strawberry, Pineapple, Banana - love the flavors, plus we upgraded to add Dole whip ice cream. Their mochi is the real kine mochi balls, super soft, and offsets the sweetness right when you need it! Grateful for the generous number of mochi balls. I peeped the ice cream and it looked creamy soft. Might have to order a pint to go next time since I'm pretty much a sucker for their shave ice now. I might try other flavors but already sold on the Sunset. The service is great, they even made sure to acknowledge us since they were still finishing up another order when we walked in. That is so rare these days and much appreciated! Love the intentionality behind the menu and the service here and will be sure to continue supporting this business. Divine timing today!

Shave Ice was fluffy, just the way I like it. I got the regular size with condensed milk and mochi…read moreballs (5 pieces plain/wet, not the usual dry/firm/powered ones). Flavors: Mango (good), Peach (awesome, but too little cuz its just a thin strip wedged between 2 flavors), lilikoi (horrible... tasted like cough syrup... ). The portions are decent sized for the price. My friends had a Mango Shave Ice with condensed milk, mochi and ice cream (he loved it) and a chocolate hazelnut ice cream (whcih she said was good) but wasn't very satisfying maybe because she wanted Halo Halo only to find out its not available when we got to the counter to order. Since its a order and pick up at counter type of self service place we didn't really have an opinion on the service, but the staff at counter was nice enough. Overall, it was a nice cozy little place with air-conditioned indoor seating as well as benches outside. Plenty of parking in the lot and surrounding area when we went, maybe because it was during down time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to hangout somewhere to cool off during this crazy Super HOT El Niño summer.

Located in the same shopping center as Times, right on the corner, so there is ample parking. Upon arrival there was a small line but the 2 employees were hard at work. I decided on an "Ulu" size shave ice with Tigers Blood, Lychee, Guava - added li hing sauce & snow cap (both for an additional charge). The shave ice texture was amazing & syrups were really fresh & flavorful! Ululani's started in Maui and uses pure cane sugar for their syrups & ultra filtered water for their ice. I also didn't know how many locations are on island now so it's good to know there's always an Ululani's stop nearby. Will definitely be back!

SERVICE: fast, came when there was only a few people in line INTERIOR: n/a EXTERIOR: order through the window, floor beneath The Alley/Aiea Bowl, same level as McDonald's WAIT TIME: 5 mins before placing order, another 5 mins to receive shave ice PARKING: free lot, have shaded garage OVERALL COMMENTS: note that they are CASH ONLY. Have a lot of pre-set items on the menu or you can build your own. My go-to is their #7 bc I like to have both mochi balls n' flan, while keeping the shave ice simple. Best eaten when you have a bit of flan + the shave ice to have the perfect balance of sweetness. If you eat the top part of the shave ice alone, you won't get the full sweetness. The flan, mochi, n' shave ice give all the textures. Definitely a great treat on a hot day!

Great custard! But otherwise just alright…read more Food - 3/5 Star of the show is the custard, which was great. However, some of the syrups tasted too medicinal. Maybe we're just used to the homemade/natural syrups that most places use now. We also got mochi which was decent. Service - 5/5 Friendly service! Ambiance - 4/5 Cash only. There is only a window to order from but the plaza has tables outside to sit at.

We got their açaí bowl and their ube bagel sandwich with a salad. It was the perfect breakfast. Due to the excitement around this chain, I expected to wait in long lines and brought my kindle. To my surprise, I was able to order there, wait 2 minutes for my drinks and food and was one my way within 6 minutes!! The shop was so personable, the cook came out and saw who I was so they could hand off my food when it was ready!! This is over the top service and I am so grateful for the extra mile. There were plenty of spots to sit and eat, I saw some people with their laptop out and books. I would love to sit here and sip the best coffee, but alas, I have a cute little daughter who was waiting for her açaí bowl back at our hotel. I would 100% be coming back and recommending it to my friends.

Last time, I had a "taro" drink with tapioca and it was pretty good! It didn't taste artificial and the tapioca was really tough to drink. The service was fast, we sat down for like 10 minutes outside and our plates came out. You order at this iPad and they delivered it at the table you choose, either outside or inside. The portion size is really good for the price and I took home left overs! On the table, there's these fly swatter things for the food so there weren't many bugs around. I love this place because you can study here and the food is really good. I just think the drinks are alright.

It's yummy, it's authentic, sure there are others that give you more or is cheaper, but this food is true to its origin, and tasty. K pop blasting, tons of noodles and deep fried options, all done tastefully well and not overly salty or oily. Deep fried cheese balls were amazing. Cold noodles were devoured, bibimbap was great, ban chan were yummy and the couple sitting next to us having a bingsu looked like they approve. All one sized meals, fresh lemony water for patrons, I will visit again and try something new. Younger staff members were kind and informative about the food options.

This restaurant is small and tucked in a little shopping center with other well-known restaurants around, but I promise you, you have to give this place a try! Upon walking in, the menu is on the wall. After you order, you can get a cup of water and find a seat (seating is very limited, with only a few tables). The girl who took our order was so sweet and explained that it might be about a 10-minute wait because the food is made to order. My husband and I ordered the mandu ramyun, the mixed cold noodles, the pork kimbap, and the mango bingsu, and everything was AMAZING! I've had a lot of Korean food growing up with many Korean friends, and my husband has been to Korea many times, so we've had our fair share. The minute my husband took a bite of his mixed cold noodles, his words were, " Oh fuck, that is so good. OMG." As we kept eating, the kimbap came out, and we took a bite, and our eyes grew so big because we knew it was freshly made, super fresh, and so crisp and delicious! Our order of favorites is the mixed noodles, the kimbap and the mandu ramyun. Our mango bingsu was made when we told them we were about finished with our meal. They brought it out, and it was a mountain of the lightest, creamiest shaved ice, piled with juicy mango. It was so good, and so refreshing after our meal. When you're done eating, there's a place to place your dirty dishes as well, and they come and wipe down the tables after. All in all, we are definitely coming back again, even if it's all the way in Ewa Beach! Before we left, my husband told me, "damn, that was so good, we need to bring people here when they visit us." LOL I've never heard him rave about a place as much as he did about this one, so I know it's a place we will revisit!
