    Yum! Always saw this truck while driving and decided to stop and get my kids some snow cones. They have plenty of different fruit syrups to choose from and then you can choose a topping. We got condensed milk on both per reviews on Yelp. Never have had a snow cone like this before! The condensed milk makes it all like a creamy snow cone. And for only $4, it's totally worth it. Definitely should stop by and give it a try, but be sure to bring cash because that's all they accept for payment.

    This place has some of the best snow cones I've ever had! Make sure you get the sweetened condensed milk as a topping, you won't regret it. I love how their fruit syrups actually have pieces of fresh fruit in them. I've never been to a place that does that and it is a game changer! On the weekends, there's usually a decent line of people waiting to order. But we didn't have to wait that long so I was impressed with how quickly they got through the line. Important note that it's CASH ONLY and our snow cones were $4 each (we both got 3 flavors and 1 topping).

    Mama Rosa's Ice is my favorite place to get minutas (snow cone). A minuta is basically a hispanic version of shaved ice. It has the shaved ice, whatever flavors you want, condensed milk, and tamarindo. It's so good especially on a really hot day like today. The food truck is located right off of rt 28 in the Mega Mart shopping center. I think this food truck is seasonal because I only really see it out during the summer, which makes sense since all they serve is the minutas. I've also seen other Mama Rosa's Ice trucks in Arlington, Alexandria, and Woodbridge so it's nice that they have other locations. Definitely recommend if you're in the area.

    Finally got to try the local favorite for ice cream! We got…read morethe ice cream flight--you can choose 4 flavors. We went with the daily specials: Cookie Monster, Funfetti, FlufferNutter, and Cow Tripping. With tax, it was $8.25. Pricing is quite good compared to other ice cream establishments. Line was pretty long but we got our ice cream after 25 minutes of standing in line--it took 5 minutes once our order was placed to get our order. Nice staff and there is a bathroom onsite but you have to ask so they can let you in. Cookie Monster: Definitely get if you love a good amount of cookie in your ice cream. Such a fun blue color! Funfetti: The birthday cake flavor isn't too strong but it came with a reasonable amount of sprinkles. FlufferNutter: The peanut butter was more apparent in their chunks than the ice cream itself. It was quite nutty overall, but not too in your face. Cow Tripping: I was hoping it would be my favorite since it is chocolate with Reese's pieces, but it didn't have much Reese's. Good chocolate ice cream though.

    Kept reading about this place so I went to check it out around d 6:30pm last Saturday. We almost…read moredid t go because the line was so long but we stuck it out and so glad we stayed in line. It move fairly quickly and the ice cream was totally worth it. I got the four flavor ice cream flight and my friend got the chocolate swirl with jimmies. I LOVED ALL THE FLAVORS of the flight: macadamia, white chocolate mocha, vanilla and samoas (like the Gurl Scout cookie). Man these were all so good. By the time we finished eating, the line was more than double than when we first got there. We will definitely go back but maybe on a weekday coz that line was cray cray.

Def recommend mixing the whipped cream in to help sweeten up the flavor! The waffle that served in a cup with creme brulee was SO DELICIOUS! Highly recommend! It also had matcha pieces at the bottom of the waffle. It's large enough for 2-3 people! The pancake- I got their seasonal peach, it is large! Easily shareable between 2-3 people as well. I didn't like how eggy it was, it didn't taste like a dessert to me. But I loved how soft the peach was! The service was good, you can order via kiosk or in person.

I see what other reviews are saying, they are a bit slow at getting the food out. You don't interact with the staff since it's kiosk based. They call your food order # and you pick it up. We ordered: Strawberry matcha latte 3/5 Passion fruit matcha latte 3/5 Fluffy strawberry pancakes 3/5 Karrage onigiri 5/5 Salmon onigiri 2/5 Beef curry onigiri 4/5 The pancakes were fairly good, but there were big chunks with only egg whites in the middle. Not sure what happened, but our pancakes tasted more like eggs than pancakes lol. Overall I'll go back and give it another shot, the pancakes were probably an off day. The onigiris were all pretty good. The matchas were great flavors but not quality grade. The ambiance is casual and there's tons of cute anime art on the wall.

    All i'm going to say is I had the opportunity to try Ono Wai Shave Ice while I visited Leesburg, VA…read morea couple of weeks ago and I'm ready to go back just for this sweet treat. We have so-called shave ice here in Boston but it's not like Ono Wai's. These are served with ice cream at the bottom - YUM- and a drizzle of sweet cream on top! It's like 2 desserts in one because by the time you get to the bottom, the flavored ice made the ice cream frosty and sweet - like a creamsicle- but better! The hardest part of ordering this little cup of heaven is choosing the flavors - they have 25 - and apparently they are imported from Hawaii. Thankfully, my family ordered different flavors so I was able to try a variety. They were all rich and flavorful. I'll be back Ono Wai - I'll be back!

    From the owner: The product we offer is shave ice, which is a Hawaiian desert constructed by actually shaving a…read moreblock of ice into a fluffy texture. Unlike a snow cone, the fluffy ice absorbs the shavings versus surrounding it at the bottom of the cup. This makes for a much more flavorful experience. The ice is then flavored with one of 25 syrups we offer. Some patrons opt to have ice cream placed in the bottom of their shave ice flower cup and top the flavored shavings with a sweet cream. Shave ice is a delicious, affordable treat! FYI....we operate a mobile unit. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram to stay up-to-date on our vending location.
