    Ube/vanilla swirl ice cream with sprinkles
    Mabeline M.

    First timer cause my daughter wanted to try. Ice cream was soft served in a cup. Ordered the Ube and vanilla swirl with sprinkles. It was definitely yummy! Service was good and quick.

    Mango cheesecake. Expensive but worth it!

    Oh what a delicious and refreshing snack to have! I got the mango cheesecake and it satisfied my sweet tooth perfectly. I will be having this every time I come to the mall!!

    Can never have enough good shaved ice
    Steve O.

    My sister in law kept raving about how great this place is and how it's better than anywhere else. Really built up my expectations for this place. It was very good but was it THAT much better than anyplace else? I didn't think i was earth shattering but I would recommend it to anyone looking for shaved ice. My strawberry mango ice w ice cream was excellent but I don't think it merits hyping it up to such an unrealistic level, you can only feel a tad bit disappointed

    KAWAII ICE WAVE!!! My favorite place to go for something sweet and cold!!! I've first heard about this place through a yelp elite event, my family went to the Hawaii kai store and when we were walking around Pearlridge we was so happy to see it here! Closer to home, so ofcourse we ordered something. And not surprised that it brought me back to how good it was in Hawaii kai. We come every time we visit the mall now. I've tried different flavors of their ice wave and each one was sooo good. The perfect balance of sweet and refreshing! Yes!!! I said sweet AND refreshing!!! The floats are also our family favorite!! My other half always gets the orange crush flavor and he loves it. We tried their shave ice and milkshakes. Everything DOES NOT disappoint. But my personal favorite is definitely those Ice waves. Mango strawberry just always hits the spot for me. The girls usually working are all super friendly. I have never had bad customer service here. And they make your order on the spot and it really isn't a long wait. They are so good, consistent and quick with their service here. It's an individual stand at Pearlridge near Jamba Juice & Starbucks right at the entrance next to the food court. They have bright pink signs, you can't miss it. Grab your lunch at the food court and don't forget your dessert at Kawaii Ice Wave!

    Mango Cheesecake Ice Waves & (2) Ube Vanilla Swirl soft serve ice cream (Dairy Free) with Oreo topping
    Sach T.

    After eating dinner at Genki Sushi in Pearlridge, we ordered dessert from this kiosk that's located right outside in the mall. Looking over their menu, everything looked so good and found that the ice cream is DAIRY FREE (SOY BASED)...yay! The visuals of their desserts on the menu and outside of their kiosk are awesome so it made it easier to know what to order! We ordered the Ube Vanilla Swirl soft serve ice cream with Oreo topping and Mango Cheesecake Ice Waves. The ice cream was delicious and would definitely order this again! As for the Ice Waves, the ice had 2 layers but as you scoop it with the toppings, it's like eating the toppings with shaved ice that has no flavor. Toppings were good but for $12.50, wouldn't order this again.

    A refreshing dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. Ordered the mango flavor and strawberry with cheesecake bites. It was good and perfect for this summer weather! Cashier was so friendly and nice.

    fruity pebble ice, i think this was abt $10?? pretty good small mellow business, the inside was so retro, pink, vibrant kawaii oh my gosh!! wish i got a pic but MUST VISIT jolly cashier too and everything is made to order.

    I had to come try the Instagram worthy Ube Cheesecake Sundae! This spot is located at Pearlridge mall right in front of Genki Sushi. The ube soft serve has a hint of ube flavor and more icy texture than a creamy soft serve texture. The small bites of cheesecake and the crunch oreo toppings mixed together with the soft serve is oh so good! My son and I shared one although we could've each had one. It's a great dessert spot and will be back again to try other items!

    This is a good sized kiosk in Pearlridge in front of the food court in the upper section. Idk what it's called now but I think it used to be called Uptown? The guy was really nice and friendly. I got the strawberry soda float that was really good and my grandson got a a mango sundae type thing. I finished my float later that day but I was surprised grandson was able to finish his sundae in one sitting. It seemed a little pricey to me $(22) but inflation being what it is, we can pay it or stay home looking at pictures right?

    Ube Sundae
    Sarah N.

    I can see this spot being popular with the kids and adults who have a sweet tooth. Also a very trendy site for those cutesy pics against Kawaii Ice Wave's decorative wall. For the location, the prices are reasonable, but in my opinion, it's just another high priced item that catches people's attention. Granted, we haven't gone down the list of menu items, so this review is based on our first visit. My wife, son, daughter, and niece tried the Ube Sundae, Chocolate Overload Sundae, and an Oreo Ice Wave. Ube soft serve didn't have much of an ube flavor, but it sure was purple lol. The pieces of cheesecake were good, but overall these are very very SWEET desserts. Not so much our thing, but I'm sure other kids love it.

    Saw them at a shopping mall and they were really cute for the aesthetic! I loved the strawberry drink/float I had before, and I also loved their soft serve (it was vegan as well so my vegan friend could enjoy alongside me) , really want to try more of their drinks! - Miguel Morales Photography

    End your day of shopping with a sweet stop at Kawaii Ice Wave!! Trust me, you won't be disappointed! At first glance, you might think, "Whoa... sugar overload!" But hey, it's a dessert bar, right? Surprisingly though, their treats has the perfect balance, not too sweet, but just right!The soft serve, flavors, and toppings all come together in a way that deliciously surprising without being overwhelming. Ok, so my personal favorite? The Strawberry and Mango Ice Wave. It's loaded with fresh fruits, and they don't skimp! Every bite is refreshing, light, and full of flavor. Whether you're wrapping up a day of shopping or just treating yourself, this is the perfect way to end (or start) your day. Go try em' :) Also, great service, the staffs here are really kind and friendly!

    Mango lychee ice wave
    Eunice M.

    This little kiosk serves aesthetic and yummy frozen desserts. We got the mango lychee ice wave and it was perfectly sweet but not overpowering. The service was pretty quick even with just one employee and she was really courteous and generous with portions. Can't wait to try their other flavors. I will be back!

    Yuck; threw it out. $6.50 for a lump of ice and high-fructose junk. It's like a snowcone with less flavor for three times the price.

The flavors they had today were vanilla, chocolate, coffee, yellow cake batter, strawberry, original tart, taro, lychee tart, Hawaiian Delight, Dole Whip, Samurai Blue Vanilla and Samurai Honeydew. We got the Hawaiian Delight and Dole Whip swirl topped with tiny mochi bits. Both of the flavors blended well. The Hawaiian Delight tasted like strawberry guava and on the sweeter side. The Dole Whip was pineapple and on the tart side. It was perfect on this hot day.

Walking in it was nice and empty with the exception of a couple folks enjoying their treat at one of the tables in the shop. I paced back and forth looking at the many variety of flavors many popular ones was empty making it even tougher to decide with what they had left and waited and waited for a staff which a lady finally came out and I asked about their "Cappy" item they have displayed on the counter and if it was a shake or smoothie but says it's like a Frappuccino dessert made with a coffee base was interesting and decided on one to which she asked what size and got a small. She got straight to making me one and once I got it was quite disappointed that it was basic as I noticed her scooping from vanilla though the other flavors you're able to get it in are classic, caramel praline, chocolate fudge, Oreo or what the display that I pointed out was "Peppermint Fudge Cappy"...$7.11 for a small and it was vanilla...meh! She honestly looked as if she really didn't want to be there and I just interrupted her moment of silence with the look of disgust as I myself just finished a 9hrs Christmas Eve work as well and missed on some places that I wanted to attend but it s what it is and to just acknowledge what flavor I'd like is not much to ask for though it was good and not trying to say the product wasn't good just was sad on Christmas Eve to have such disappointed service.

We ordered the açaí bowl, (small $12.50 and large $14.50) and also ordered popsicles (10 for $15). Already the price of this was way cheaper than W&B. Liked it! I apologize for the lack of photos of our açaí bowls, but I have a bad habit of digging in right away then realizing that I forgot to take photos when it's half gone. I'll attach photos when I go back...because I most definitely will be back! I think I still prefer the taste W&B açaí, but the açaí here is really good and satisfies the craving! The popsicles on the other hand, were just ok. It was described as large otter pops and while I wouldn't go THAT far, I don't think I'll get those again.

She was watching Tinker Bell on the TV and didn't greet us or even look up - no hello, no smile, just awkward silence. We were the only ones in the store and still had to awkwardly approach the counter just to get help. As first-time customers, there was also no explanation of the scoop sizes or pricing, which made ordering more confusing than it needed to be. When we finally ordered, two items were made correctly, but one person in our group ordered dragonfruit gelato. The employee started scooping strawberry instead, and even after we politely pointed it out, there was no acknowledgment or apology--just silence. It made for a really uncomfortable interaction. While we were eating, the employee went into the back, and we could hear her loudly scrolling on social media with the volume on full blast, even laughing at times. Toward the end of our visit, she came back to the front, sat down, and continued on her phone. The entire atmosphere felt so awkward that we decided to leave and finish our gelato in our cars. Even as we walked out, there was no thank you, no goodbye--no acknowledgment at all. It was honestly disappointing. That said, the gelato itself is actually really good, and the interior of the shop is nice. That's the only reason I'd consider coming back. Unfortunately, the service really brought the experience down. Proper customer service training is definitely needed. I would come back for sure, but I wouldn't return if that same employee was behind the counter.
