    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.

    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

    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

    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.

I ordered Sunset Beach-Passion Orange, Mango, Guava- and my husband ordered Haleakala-Leche, Coconuts- with Toasted Coconuts topping. OMG!!! Their shave ice is soooo silky and smooth, more sorbet than shave ice!!!! We enjoyed both flavors and we'll definitely come back to try different flavors!!

The flan, mochi, n' shave ice give all the textures. Definitely a great treat on a hot day!

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.

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.
