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

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.

This is going on the list!…read more My normal GO TO shaved ice is Waiola when I'm in town and Matsumoto when I'm on the north shore, but looks like I'm going to the Shimazu Store when I'm on the leeward side. It all comes down to the ice. Gotta be fine melt in your mouth ice. Not chunky or gritty. And they got the good ice here. They have some other good local goodies like arare and li hing mui candies. As far as shaved ice goes, I always get the same thing: ice cream on the bottom, vanilla shaved ice, and a snow cap of condensed milk on the top. The ice cream was average quality (probably wouldn't get that again), but the syrup they used for the saved ice is so flavorful. Maybe the best syrup I've had. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

D1 always craving a sweet treat. And sweet treat she shall have. So so so close to home now and…read moreconveniently located next to @sushibaykapolei Smells like popcorn as soon as you open the door. I was tempted to get some bc I love me some furikake popcorn. So many flavors to choose from, but luckily they make it easy and we opted for a Local Favorite: The Tropical Medley- lilikoi, mango, and guava topped with condensed milk w vanilla ice cream and homemade mochi hiding under the snow like texture shave ice. The ice is so soft and the mochi has the perfect chewy texture. Their syrups are delicious and not overly sweet. They sell a bunch of snacks in addition to the popcorn, as well as other snacks and treats like li hing candies, okoshi, and "power bars". The girl at the counter was super, sweet, and friendly. Our order came out very quickly and was made perfectly. We ordered the keiki size and it was still plenty for 3 people. Will definitely be back to try different flavors, and definitely back for the popcorn. #supportlocal

Our waitress was super sweet and communicated with us the whole time despite tending to ALL the other customers, including the take-out window! Bless her soul. I got the honey bbq boneless ribs and they were absolutely divine! The meat was so tender and juicy! And the BBQ was so good! I'm literally missing it rn. My little sister got the cheeseburger and OMG. If you've had in n' out? It tastes almost exactly like it.. (dare I say better??) 10/10. No notes. This place is a staple. I will definitely be back!

Headed to Waianae to checkout the thrifting in the area and I needed breakfast. Found Pokai Bay…read moreRestaurant on Yelp and it looked easy enough to get to it. Once we turned the corner at the park, the parking lot in front of the restaurant was full. It looked like they had 4-5 parking stalls. So we parked across the way at the beach parking lot, like 10 steps from the restaurant parking lot. Cute! They have tables outside and a take out order window but it's hot and so we went in to enjoy dining in the AC. Cuuute the restaurant! It has a beautiful farmhouse theme and therefore they do have some farm house inspired dishes. For eats, I got the noodles with garlic chicken and that was a massive portion of chicken! Was ono though and so i was happy to have for dinner that evening and lunch and dinner the next day. I did my best to eat a third of my order at the restaurant. The noodles were delicious as well. It didn't come with rice so I'm glad my sister ordered the country fried mahi mahi. I had a taste of the mahi mahi and it does taste like country fried steak batter. And the way they served the fish gave it the country fried steak flare. It was very good. It's fish, so my sister was able to finish her dish. Oh, and Mac salad was good too. Service was AWESOME! There were three other tables being served by the one server but he did an excellent job. When we left, it looked like there were cop cars everywhere. I was a bit timid going out but then I noticed five cops ordering lunch at the take out window. So you know this place is winnahs! I'll be back for sure.
