    the flavor of the ice cream truck
    Sarah C.

    Tried this truck during a festival. Simple but delicious. You get to choose the size and the syrups are self serve with many flavors. We went back to coat the bottom of our shaved ice. Our little one loved it as well.

    There is a Kona Ice truck which stops by our apartments once in a while, and today was the lucky day! I'm not really someone who has a sweet tooth, but I do love the concept of this truck. I can see how it can be popular treat for families and kids during the summer - the shaved ice comes in a reasonably good size cup, and comes with a generous serving of syrup which are extremely bright and colourful! I saw someone made a rainbow on theirs which was kinda cool. I should have mixed two flavours. Cute shaved ice, but a little sweet for me!

    Beautiful Kona ice truck

    Amazing shave ice truck at school today. They had different sizes to choose from with the large ones going for upto 7 dollars only. Once you order your size, you get a cup full of shave ice which you take it to the flavor taps to pour a mix of your favorite choices. The ice truck was a great deal for the hot summer day. The service was excellent and welcoming. The truck look beautifully painted with Hawaiian colors and art. This reminded us to plan our next Hawaii vacation. It seems they do cater for house parties, private events or office events. I am surely going to recommend this truck to my office for our next employee event. If you want Hawaii in the bay area next to your door, this truck is for you and your party. Bring it on!

    We highly recommend the shaved ice truck for parties! It was so easy to schedule, and they were so accommodating when plans changed. Jordan was who helped serve the shaved ice, and he was fabulous with the the kids. Everyone went home happy! Every penny was worth the smiles!

    Thank you so much to Kona Shaved Ice for hosting our small First Day of Summer Celebration for work! Jenni, the owner, was informative and responded really quickly to our inquiry. The truck arrived right on time and setup was super quick. What I loved about this truck was that the line went by quickly, which can often be an issue when you are serving a lot of employees at once. Each employee was given a small cup of shaved ice and a spoon, then was able to head to the left side of the truck to add whatever flavoring they'd like. They offer a pretty big variety of flavors, but my personal favorite was Tiger's Blood. This tasted like a mixture of Pina Colada and cherry/strawberry - highly recommend! Overall, this was a hit at work, and we had a wonderful experience. Hope to use Kona Shaved Ice again in the future.

    Oh em gee... I eat ice all day everyday so when I saw this dream machine roll up in our area... you better believe I came through!!! You can get 3 sizes , I suggest getting the souvenir cup which 7 bucks but you can reuse it and refill for 4 bucks ... not bad right?!? The flavors are seasonal and so we hit them up on IG and boom within minutes they let us know what flavors. What a genius idea and niche business to have in this heat ... oh yes folks ... sugar free syrups are an option... so no excuses folks ... when you see them ... get it in line and enjoy the shaved ice !!!

    Kona Ice and Dia De Los Tacos.. a heavenly combo for catering!

    Kona Ice is first of all... ridiculously delicious! I never was into shaved ice before.. but even on a rainy Saturday in MAY (of all times?!).. it was amazing. I actually would probably have it over ice cream.. which is saying a lot. My husband and toddlers loved it too. Besides the quality of their product, they were amazing in coming out to our nonprofit fundraising event for Silicon Valley Twins and Triplets. Weather turned our event into what we didn't expect.. a lot lower turnout and I'm sure not as many purchases since it was in the 60's . But the owner was super professional and friendly, and hung out the whole event. Same with the girls helping in the truck. I will definitely always be a patron if I see the truck, will probably hunt it down on hot days, and hope they come to our event next year (hoping) it's better weather!

    Sweet, refreshing shaved ice on a bright, sunny day-- who could resist? Kona Ice catered my work event the Friday before Independence Day. Catchy beach tunes tinkling away set the Island mood. The only things missing were mango and guava syrup! They did have piña colada, along with sugar free options upon request. Four sizes available: small, medium, the color changing cup, and large. Price ranges from $3-6, with $3 refills for the two largest sizes. Fees waived for this event since my company paid! I got the color changing reusable cup and was handed my favorite color orange! Coincidence, but I was ecstatic. Self serve the 10 flavors; I got watermelon, cherry, and orange. The cold parts of the cup turned reddish pink, to my delight. They don't finely shave the ice; it's still a bit rocky/crunchy but holds up well. Cool, lactose free treat added something extra to the 3-day weekend thrill. Thanks, Kona Ice!

We had two tastings, one upon signing the contract and a final one closer to the date where we were able to bring along family and a close friend. They served us full plates of every dish so we even left with plenty of leftovers, which was such a fun bonus for us! Throughout the planning process, they were very easy to communicate with and were highly responsive via email. It was super convenient having them coordinate the table design at their warehouse, including the linens, plateware, and glassware. While the design meeting isn't a "boutique" curated experience, their warehouse has plenty of options to choose from if you already have a general color palette and vibe in mind. On the wedding day, the staff was extremely attentive and brought us hand rolls before cocktail hour even started to ensure we actually got to eat. The live hand roll station was a massive hit with our guests and absolutely delicious. I also appreciated how open they were to our custom cocktails; I provided my own recipe and li hing powder for a pineapple li hing margarita, which they executed perfectly. Cost-wise, this is not a budget vendor and is on the more expensive side. However, the full-service, high-touch planning and day-of experience, from the tastings to the seamless coordination of all design elements, completely justified the price. You truly get what you pay for, and we have no regrets. If food is a top priority for your wedding, we highly recommend Michi's.

They also went out of their way to check in with us and our vendors to make sure we were all well fed. Everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. We're super happy we went with Michi's catering. Their full package service, which included linens, dinner ware, and setup helped make the decisions more streamlined and intuitive. We highly recommend them to all other couples!

Went to their website to order catered buffet lunch for a board retreat happening the next day in Los Altos. As before site easy to navigate with a variety of options to tailor. The first clue that there might be issues was I wasn't able to see or select my ideal delivery time for later in the day. I thought they were already booked for the time. Then when I confirmed & paid for my order, the interface provided a message at bottom of my receipt that catering orders must be made 48 hours in advance. I did it the night before our retreat. (Made note to self to order 48 hours in advance in future) I was disappointed that the website did not clearly note must be made 48 hours in advance or message before I paid that I was ordering less than 48 hours. After making a decent size order for 9, I went in mode hoping to salvage this order. I sent email to restaurant and left a voicemail that night with intention to call in morning to ensure they can fulfill order or provide a refund if they cannot. I called in morning to leave another message in hopes they check messages before their Saturday opening time of 11am which would not allow enough time to cook & deliver. So while setting up for our retreat and searching for a plan B for lunch the hour before retreat starts at 9:30am, I discovered several missed calls. To my delight it was Lorena confirming that they can complete the order, to call back & that would need to pay $20 to deliverer (lunch delivery is complimentary during weekdays near to their restaurant). She left voicemail and text. When I called back, I thank her and Athena grill for coming through. Fast forward, food delivered in mobile hot boxes as expected on time by a couple, quietly arranged in the back of room, generous serving for 9, and very hot for traveling from Santa Clara to Los Altos. I confirmed with Lorena via text and expressed my gratitude who again was responsive. The food was enjoyed by all. We had salad (crisp w/dressing on side), grilled veggies (chunky cut that were firm not mushy), spanakopita (crisp phylo w/good size filling), vegetarian moussaka (would not miss the meat), rice (loose and more than enough for 9 of us), grilled skewered chicken (always moist), grilled salmon (first time and was good portion), and baklava (tasted home made). One of my colleagues asked if food was Halal, which I think they confirmed. Unsure if correct, so suggest contact restaurant directly. Brought leftovers for Hubby & Dad to enjoy. Made plans to eat at their restaurant so can enjoy other yummy dishes like their lamb. Thank you Lorena & Athena Grill Catering.
