Maili sunset: drwamsicle, mango, guava with snowtop.
Shantell C.

Located a few blocks from the Maili Pillbox hike in a quaint neighborhood. This small store sells food, drinks, household goods AND the best shaved ice on the West side. Outdoor seating and a beautiful mural for your pics.

Our service was exceptional! The shaved ice has many options. I picked no ice cream and opted for the li hing powder. There's a table inside of you want to sit. Outside has a table as well. Highly recommended after you climb to see the pill box.

We found this shaved ice spot near Ko'Olina. It's a small shop that's in a residential area near a 76 gas station. The owners were very nice and helpful. It's a small shop that sells shaved ice, drinks, and snacks. The shaved ice was very good, especially on a hot day. The shaved ice could have been a bit softer, but it was delicious none the less. If you're in the area, come support local businesses for some good shaved ice! Happy Nom Nom.

We have been on a bit of an ice cream and shaved ice expedition lately. Since we are often on the west side, this was next on our list. They building, at the beginning of a residential street, is covered in beautiful artwork can be a little misleading as the name does not match what on yelp but we could still tell we were in the correct place. It is a small superette that also offers shave ice and ice cream and other treats. The auntie that took our order was adorable and took our whole order at one time (6 of us) but still in standard shave ice order (size, ice cream, flavor, toppings) and then made our entire order before serving the next guest. She did have a young man helping her. The shave ice itself is nothing extraordinary but the artwork on the cups is beautiful and the shave ice still serves its purpose after a beach day.

Service is always so warm and welcoming. Aunty is always there, never misses a beat and works so hard. Their shaved ice is mayjah size and quality, but they also make milkshakes, halo halo cups and have a wide variety of all your favorite snacks and drinks. They have a cute lil table inside you can sit at and eat indoors in their lovely AC. Or you can eat outside, they have couple picnic tables right outside as well.

Raspberry Shave Ice   & Don't forget your snow cal

Sweet treat in Maili! The small size is perfect. I got Red Raspberry with Vanilla Ice Cream inside. Topped with Snow Cap! (Snow cap is either condensed milk , or evaporated milk with simple syrup) Yum!!

You see, it's Maile Shave Ice, NOT Maili!!

OMG, finally got to try Maile Shave Ice (it's Maile, NOT Maili)!! Called them to make sure they were open before venturing over and, yes, I was assured they were there!! Took us about 15 minutes to drive there, but for delicious shave ice, that's no problem! The older gent at the store was welcoming and friendly. Asked us if we were visiting or if we were local. Told us about his time in Southern California for school years ago. Really nice and friendly guy. As always, I ordered my shave ice with vanilla ice cream. When he started scooping up the ice cream, I was floored by the amount he put in the cups! It was a full scoop and a half! Where's the shave ice going to go? Well, he carefully mounded the powder snowlike shave ice on top of all that ice cream and poured on the syrup. I had passionfruit, pineapple, and strawberry. My husband had cherry, pineapple, and strawberry. Wow, it was fantastic! One of the best shave ices we've had on this trip. Well worth the time, effort, and gas!!

I forgot to snap a photo sooner .

Yelp never lets us down! This sweet family has awesome shaved ice. We tried the highly recommended Vintage Island shaved ice...nope not for us. This place has your classic (not crunchy gravel) shaved ice. Flavors were delicious and their ice cream was delicious.

**Review is from pre-covid (Feb 2020), just cleaning up my drafts and posting them** CASH ONLY They offer both shaved ice and ice cream here. There's a large variety of flavors to choose from for shaved ice. I got a medium ($3.50) with watermelon, pog, and lemon lime. My favorite was the lemon lime, but the other flavors were good as well. My only complaint was that there didn't seem to be enough syrup. When I was about halfway through, I started seeing some ice that wasn't colored (i.e. it was unflavored). This is a great spot for a post-hike snack after doing the Maili Pillbox hike nearby! My friends and I also tried their butter mochi. It was okay but not as good as some of the others I've had.

We were visiting Ko'olina and wanted some shaved ice and wow sooo delicious! We loved it!!! We will be back. The lady and the young boy servicing us were soo nice and the flavor was sooooo good!

Snow capped shaved ice
Ted C.

It's a little shack off a main road and honestly, it smells like a fart and it's cash only, it's like they don't want you to come. However, the shaved ice not only is it pretty easy on the wallet but damn it's a great shaved ice. It's like base is snow cone-ish but that snow cap adds a nice smooth, snow ice type texture as well. The snow cap is what makes it. Take a look at the menu and figure out what you want because otherwise they get a little impatient.

TLDR: Life is uncertain, eat dessert first. If you are near Waianae, get that dessert from…read more808_Puffs. Always looking to sample local cuisine we happened upon 808_Puffs when we were exploring Waianae. Too early for lunch, we decided to get some puffs to take back to the hotel. They sat untouched in their box for exactly 2.3 miles or 10 minutes. Precisely the amount of time it took to find a place to park where they were promptly devoured. With gusto and sincere pleasure. We bought four with the intent to share. Unfortunately we forgot utensils and it's incredibly hard to split a puff with fingers, so I can't provide firsthand feedback on the Dubai puff or the chocolate bar puff. I can tell you they were gone in a flash and no one offered to give me a bite. The ube puff was delicious and crammed full of ube goodness and that the chantilly puff topped with chocolate was divine and though I didn't mean it, I did offer my husband a bite of both. The storefront is small. There might have been a table or two in the front, but there was a very hyper child up there, so we stayed close to the register waiting for our order. They also have hot food and a selection of poke which looked fresh, but poke's not my thing so... Their prices were reasonable, the store was clean and service was quick at 10 am.

I love ordering the fried ahi from here, not only is it filling but it's perfectly seasoned every time. I used to get the mini plate, but I love it so much that I just get regular size so I can have leftovers for later. So far, I've tried the Oreo Tres Leches (moist and delicious, perfect portion, $5), cookie dough and cookie butter strawberries (MY FAVORITE!!!, $2/ea), and the pumpkin crunch (so bomb, forgot how much it costs, but probably around $5). Idk what they put in their baked goods, but it's so addictive. It doesn't help that it's also affordable. Service is good, the girls at the front are straight to the point and I prefer it that way. The wait time is also not that long, takes about 5-10mins for my food to be ready after I order. The building itself doesn't have much places to sit, I think there's only 5 tables w 4 chairs each but it's okay since all plates are to-go.

Delicious homemade Puerto Rican food. Hands-down the best on the island. Not that there are a lot…read moreof Puerto Rican restaurants on the island. But this place is excellent No matter how many you have... My usual is the pernil plate-- tasty pulled pork with your choice of sides. I usually like the yuca or plantains, and gandule rice. Tried the bean stew hanchules today--so good on the rice. Also got to watch them make the pasteles. Stevena the owner said that in Puerto Rico they only make this for special occasions. But here everybody wants it all the time, and she sells out of them. Small parking lot out front and outside seating. But with the heat in Waianae, I would definitely sit inside in the air-conditioning. Definitely one of my go to places on the west side. Always friendly service.

I normally get the Chicken Mofongo however the food hasn't been the same since after Covid so when…read moreI would get it the chicken is always so dry. The rice and plantains are always so amazing tho. I've been wanting to try them out lately so I did a Door dash order and got their Steak Mofongo! It was good. A lot of garlic which I don't mind because I love garlic, a pina colada and Tres Leches. Since I did Door Dash and didn't sit in I'm sure the condensation made my tostones a little soft but they're normally so crunchy. I didn't dine in to get serviced and experience the inside of the restaurant for the ambiance and I know that does mess up food quality since I'm not getting it hot from the kitchen. I will need to dine in next time to get the true quality. Overall I will definitely try out the restaurant and dine inside for a change.
