    Update review as they moved... No longer located in Hawaii Kai as they moved to Mililani Shopping Center (the one with Ross and Foodland) since May 2025 and yes including the fun phone booth as well. What they also have is "Kawaii Kollective" a section filled with various cute items including Pop Mart items. You can find them right beside Foodland just look for the pink walls that's so easy to find. Though what we're all here for is their cool treats like Ice Waves their version of shave ice as it's layers of fresh fruits, cheesecake, and soft serve making it a royal cup of goodness though they also have Sundaes, Soft Serve, simple shave ice or what I usually get is their float. Their float is a bit slushy that will certainly give you brain freeze as it's their shave ice with the soda of your choice (Strawberry Soda for me) topped with soft serve has me lost in Ice Wave happiness. Thank you!

    Let's indulge in a sweet creation on a humid day! Strawberry Mango Ice Wave photo on the menu looked appealing. I'm not thrilled that my large dessert didn't look like the photo. No heaping top. Employee offered a plastic cover. However, I declined stating that I will eat here. The strawberries and mangoes were competing for taste where tartness slowly replaced sweetness. Sweetened condensed milk and soft serve ice cream didn't subdue the tart. I've tried the Mango Cheesecake at prior location in Kalihi-Kapālama area and the ice wave was amazing! I'm aware, next time, go for Mango Cheesecake or Strawberry Cheesecake, it doesn't vie for flavor. Ice wave took a while to melt as I consumed half of it in the shop and the rest at home. There's only one employee to make desserts. If there's a few people in line, be prepared to wait. Telephone booth offers photo ops. Feel free to check out their Labubu merchandise in the shop (not pictured). Free parking in the Mililani Shopping Center. Methods of payments accepted are cash and cards. Halo Halo, soft serve and sundaes look fabulous! I wonder if it's yummy as advertised in the photos.

    Visited twice @ this Mililani location and you still need to pay by cash only. I really miss the business that was here before. To me it's a bit pricy for soft serve. To be able to use a credit card to bump up my miles, I would honestly go a couple doors down to RC or drive to McD just down the block.

    Glad to see another dessert shop in that location (replaced Snowberry) right next door to Foodland. The Strawberry Mango Ice Wave had fresh sliced strawberries and mangos on it and had sorbet or something underneath. I was expecting shave ice or traditional bingsu (like in the name "Ice Wave") but oddly the main ingredient seems to be sorbet to me and seems to be omitted in their menu descriptions. Additionally, the prices for the Ice Waves for the 2 sizes were also omitted from their menu poster at the register although all the other items had prices. The Chocolate Overload Sundae had regular ice cream with drizzle, crushed Oreo and cocoa pebbles. I liked that crunchy texture and love chocolate. However, this dessert was too sweet for me but it still tasted good so I ate it all. The 2 guys working the shop were ok but not welcoming or helpful with suggestions when ordering. The shop's pink interior is Kawaii ("cute") with all the Japanese nicknacks(collectibles) for sale. The full size telephone booth (less telephone) is pretty cool and I think it's to take photos in. They accept credit card transactions now not just cash. On the fence if I'll return.

    Happy to see an outpost of Kawaii Ice Wave open up here in Mililani. I don't mind driving, but the Hawaii Kai location can be a bit of a hike. This place next to Foodland has hosted a variety of sweet frosty treat places, so I hope this one sticks. We didn't actually get the signature Ice Wave this time - my son just wanted plain shave ice and I tried the soft serve. There are several varieties of soft serve available, and I got ube/vanilla swirl. It comes with one topping free so I opted for oreo. It's cookie dust, which can be messy, but is a nice change from cookie chunks elsewhere. The shave ice menu is kept behind the counter, so you have to ask to see the flavors. You can get up to 3 flavors. The rainbow is blue vanilla, banana, and strawberry, but the staff kindly swapped in pineapple for my kiddo. Consistency might be a bit off. My soft serve was smaller than photographs and those made for other customers, and had some gaps in the middle. If I'm going to spend more than $6 for a treat, maybe I'll go with a better value item with more components for just a little more money. Cash or venmo only - no cards accepted currently. Tons of parking in the lot. Some seating indoors and outdoors.

    Soft serve, Ube swirl , strawberry. Bingsu with strawberries and mangos? Add in a labubu too? Yup this place is delicious. It's quaint, needs a few more seating areas, but so happy to see a place that brings the community out. It was a nice Father's Day dessert after lunch.

    Our favorite dessert spot in Mililani. Portions are great for the price and it's dairy free!

    Great treat on a hot day. The combos of fruit, snow, and ice cream are delicious. Service is attentive but slow when it gets busy because each one is made as orders come in. Only drawbacks is that it's quite pricey. Makes sense given the fresh fruit but still.

    Mango fruity pebbles, Mango & Lychee, all Mango and Mango cheesecake. Was so yummy

    Gotta try this place out!! We tried this new place Kawaii Ice Wave in Mililani. Inside It's such a cute shop with all kind of blind box from labubu to Winnie pooh. We all tried the Ice Wave it was so yummy the the person who help us forgot to get her name was so friendly and helpful. As a family that loves mango we got all different kind of mango wave. Mango cheesecake, Mango & Lychee, Mango with fruity pebbles and last is all mango. And it was delicious . It's the bomb.

    No syrup in the middle. For $7.25, not worth it.

    I was really excited to try this new place in Mililani but... The inside is cute in the left corner but the other side was messy and had boxes stacked on the floors and walkway towards the back with cleaning supplies out in the open. The chairs were dirty despite the cleaning supplies. Floors were filthy for someplace that just opened. We got a rainbow shaved ice and it was $7.25, not worth it in my opinion. Only the top layer had syrup and the entire middle was just ice. They only had some Sonny Angels for sale but not much of a selection. No Labubus.

In Hawaii just know. I been to all of them Matsumoto, more close to grew up Ice Gardens, and really so many choose. Mountain Magic Shave Ice always been ultimate shave ice and one only place make point one time get shave ice. Winnah! I like that set up not tradition. It food truck. It located inside shopping center. There one section of parking lot have few food trucks lined up next to one another. The only downside is no place really sit and enjoy shave ice. All good shave ice one of those things eat it on the spot. The menu has nice selection come to options. Not only list of syrups if huge. It tough pick couple. U could just go with one. I picked three. Another list add stuff like ice cream, azuki beans, mochi balls, and think more. Believe they also server boba drinks. I there for Shave Ice. I got mochi balls added really best ones ever had in life. Fresh, perfect chewy, and delicious. It hit all right spots. I look forward next trip back home getting Shave Ice action again.

The guava, peach, and green tea flavors were our favorites. The shaved ice was strong and balanced without tasting artificial. It tastes great with the smooth vanilla ice cream and honestly, this place has the best mochi we've ever had. It's not just about the shaved ice. The price is unbeatable, great ambience with cute little chickens roaming around this atmospheric little city and their friendly shopkeepers. You would need a car to get to this place though since it's very north of the island. Park behind the building. The line moves very very fast so don't worry and just do it, you won't regret it.

There's a menu posted near the entrance, which made ordering easy while waiting in line. We ended up going with the large Green Tea Special and the large Tropical flavor combination. Watching the shave ice get assembled along the prep line was part of the fun, and there was plenty of outdoor seating nearby to enjoy everything afterward. Green Tea Special (5/5): Surprisingly one of my favorites. The matcha flavor was strong and earthy, pairing perfectly with the sweetness of the condensed milk, the chewy mochi, azuki bean paste, and subtle nuttiness from the kinako powder. A really well-balanced dessert. Tropical Combination (4/5): Includes lilikoi, guava, and mango. The guava stood out the most with the strongest flavor, while the lilikoi was more subtle. The mango tasted more citrusy, almost orange-like, than expected, but still refreshing overall. Overall, a great shave ice spot that lives up to the hype. There's also a connected gift shop afterward with plenty of fun souvenirs to browse through.
