    Mango and choose your 3
    Chandrika B.

    Everything about this place was awesome except the wait time (i wish they get more help)!! In $18, we got: - mango sago shaved ice - 5/5- amazing presentation, loved the tiny sago and mochi cubes and perfectly ripe chopped mango on top :) too good!! - choose 3 flavors - 5/5- loved this too, it looked lesser than the mango but tasted better!! We added ice cream and condensed milk which enhanced the flavor immensely. It's located in a busy Thursday bellevue farmers market, the line was 1 hour plus. My suggestion, take turns standing in line while also enjoying the pizza from the next door pop up.

    Mike's shaved ice... Best shaved ice experience I've ever had. So I come from the East Coast, so truly good shaved ice is much harder to come by than the inferior "snow cone". Mike's was SUCH a treat. Their flavor choices are amazing, and all the ingredients are so fresh. My wife got strawberry and I got a passionfruit, I can't remember the names exactly, but they were both phenomenal! They were perfectly sweetened, the texture was amazing, toppings were well thought out. There's really not much more you could ask for! The staff were all so nice as well! We can't wait to get to one of their next pop-ups!

    The best shave ice in WA! Can't wait for next summer to follow their truck again. Service is always super friendly and they always seem to work as fast as possible especially when the lines get long.

    I heard my coworker mentioned Mike's Shave Ice has a pop up in Renton at a neighborhood park. I right away dropped by after work. The line was so long, but shaved ice really lived up to the hype. Really nice add-on for a hot day after work. I had mango sago and likikoi I believe! They all tasted very refreshing and fruity, not too sweet at all. The syrup is homemade I believe? Tastes like come straight out of mango and strawbery to me. They ran out of mochi when I got there but all good!

    My honorary 100th review goes out to Mike's Shave Ice for a reason! We always try to frequent and catch this truck whenever we get the chance to. It is melt in your mouth good and always hits the spot. If you're looking for good shave ice, skip the trip to hawaii and come here instead. So much better than matsumoto's in my opinion. We have been to the one in Fremont market and Renton a handful of times. Sometimes the line gets long but it goes by quick. I love the customer service, vibe, and one of a kind menu from this place! My go to order is usually the mango sago with ube ice cream. Perfect for a hot summer day.

    Expect long, long lines and wait times, but just know - Mike's Shave Ice IS WORTH EVERY SECOND OF WAITING. Such tasty combinations, fresh ingredients, and beautiful, picture-worthy shave ice. Mike's Shave Ice is reminiscent of the shave ice we've had in Hawaii. We will follow this food truck anywhere! Highly recommend!

    I wish there was more places like this in Seattle! One of the best places to get shaved ice. Not too sweet and they have great quality toppings. The shaved ice tasted like snow rather than your typical hard crunchy ice. I highly recommend and would come back.

    Mango shaved ice(?) Soft asfresh powder from a mountain top and just as fresh each and every bite! Creamy and refreshing at the same time.

    This place changed the trajectory in my life! It's not everyday you discover your absolute favorite dessert of all time. The mango shave ice was hands down the best dessert I've ever had in my life. The combination of shave ice with vanilla ice cream was rich and creamy but finished so refreshingly light. The mango really pulled everything together with a nice juicy tropical burst. 10/10 on this item alone for me! The macaroons are good too! I'm not an expert and don't know the difference between good macaroons and bad ones. So, it stands to reason that I should do more research

    Since I've been away from the islands for awhile, the 'homesick' feeling has been weighing heavy. I've been eyeing out Mike's Shave Ice for the longest, but I couldn't make it out to see them. Fortunately, when I stumbled upon them at the Fremont Sunday Market , I knew I needed to try it. It ended up being, by far, the best shave ice I have ever had! Although the lines may look long, their high popularity is there for a reason and it is worth the wait! They have customizable and specialty flavors to choose from, so I got the lilikoi pog specialty flavor topped with condensed milk, mochi and minced strawberries! I asked to add on some ihing mui on top The flavors were refreshing and not too sweet, which is no suprise since they use natural syrups instead of artificial I was able to talk story with Mike for a bit as we reminisced about our days back home on the islands, so it felt very comforting to have that connection between us His partner, Jamie, was also so sweet to talk to! Hands down this shave ice is a 10/10highly recommend‼Not only was the shave packed with flavor and not overly sweet, but it was beautifully presented and well-balanced. I can't wait to come back for more!

    Mango sago with extra mochi

    The best shaved ice in the greater Seattle area and dare I say better than some in Hawaii! I've had Mike's 3 times when they do pop ups at the Bellevue Thursday farmer's market. The staff is friendly while ordering too. I've tried the POG, mango sago, and strawberry mango sago. Mango sago is my favorite and I always get extra mochi because it's yummy, soft, and flavorful (some mochis taste like nothing but dough). The shaved ice is refreshing and not overbearingly sweet. Lines can be over an hour's wait long during the summer. I look forward to going more often in the future to try new flavors or to get the mango sago again.

    This is awesome, authentic to Hawaii, SHAVE ICE... not shaved ice. We got the Lilikoi POG shave ice with a showcase (condensed milk), ice cream and extra mochi. It tastes so good - not like fake, over sugary syrups. It's very balanced and refreshing.

    I'm so glad I got to finally try Mike's Shave Ice -- they do a ton of pop-ups around the greater Seattle area and I really appreciate how they go to different sides of Seattle at least once a week. They were in Renton on the day I went, only 5 minutes from my house! I've heard great things about their shave ice so I've been wanting to try for the longest time now. I ordered the Strawberry Mango Sago and loved it -- their syrups did not taste artificial at all, and I've never thought of adding sago to Shave Ice before! It was flavorful, not too sweet, and really refreshing, even on a cold day! This is also one of the few desserts in the area where I feel like you're not overpaying for both the quality and quantity of food that you're getting. Definitely coming back whenever they stop by Renton!

    It's not summertime in Seattle unless you're enjoying Mike's Shave Ice. I've been a fan for years and always feel blessed when I'm standing in a short line to get my shave ice fix. I say this because I've seen long line for days at other venues, in which case I wait until next time. My company has had them at two company events and they do a superb job with customer service and offering a delicious cold treat. Mike's gets rave reviews from the attendees at our events. I recently found them at the Fremont Sunday Market. It doesn't matter what time you go, there will usually be a line. On this visit, luckily the line wasn't too long and I may have waited 15-20 minutes. Mike's Shave Ice is like what you would get in Hawaii. It is not to be missed. They post their schedule on IG, so keep an eye out.

The fish burger was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, incredibly fresh tasting, and one of those sandwiches where after the first bite you immediately know someone in the kitchen actually cares. Easily one of the better fish sandwiches I've had around Seattle recently. The chowder was the only thing that held me back slightly. For my personal taste it was a bit more watery than I typically prefer, as I usually lean toward a thicker richer chowder. That said, the flavor itself was excellent and honestly overcame most of that initial thought after a few bites. What truly stood out though was the service. Absolutely fantastic people here. Genuine, attentive, welcoming, and the kind of staff that makes a place memorable beyond just the food. That level of attentiveness and care honestly feels rare nowadays and they deserve full marks for hospitality alone. Overall this place left a very strong impression on me. Great seafood, quality ingredients, and a spot I'm genuinely looking forward to revisiting soon. I can already tell this may end up becoming a regular stop for me after another visit or two.

We were craving some southern cooking and they were able to help us fairly quickly upon coming in. We ordered a meal with the two main and two side.

All this was a bit pricey for a meal. We ordered our food to go, so once our food is ready, they'll bring it out to our car. Which is a very nice service! But it did take a long time to get our food, I'm glad that it was fresh though. As for the food itself, I thought the chicken could've had a little bit more salt. But we did have the hot sauce on the side to dip, which made it good. The catfish was delicious, lots of flavor there. Nana's special sauce that was offered, made it even better! The sides were good, but for the cornbread. I would've liked it more moist. The place is very relaxed and chill, with many customers enjoying their food inside or waiting outside for the nice lady to drop off their order.
