    Ice Cream crepe w macadamia nut
    Shirley W.

    Cute ice cream shop tucked away in a random street. I like how they also have a video game area where you can just play Smash Bros on the side. Pretty fun! This was my first time trying, so we got the matcha ice cream, vanilla, and cookies and cream in the crepe style. We also added the macadamia nut topping to it as well. It didn't take too long for our order to prepare since I wasn't too busy. First glance, it generally just looks like an ice cream burrito lol. We were also sharing so it was kinda hard to eat haha. The cookies and cream and vanilla ice cream were pretty good! The matcha ice cream though, it just tastes like the basic matcha ice cream you get at a japanese restaurant, not really quite authentic, but just "matcha flavored". I felt like the crepe itself didn't really elevate the ice cream experience, nor did the macadamia nuts on it. It just felt like an ice cream burrito and not a fancy ice cream crepe. The ice cream was really nice for the weather though.

    Such an adorable spot for a quick sweet treat. I ordered a 'Mosa Cup!' with one scoop of vanilla and peanut sprinkle. Such a simple concept, but it is sooo delicious. I feel like the peanut sprinkle helps elevate the flavor considerably, and hits the spot just right. The presentation is adorable as this comes in a cup that looks like a flower pot, with a shovel as a spoon. The workers were kind, and even checked up on us once we finished in the small seating area that they have up front. Definitely recommend to anyone in the area, you won't be disappointed.

    Great dessert place near university. Service is fast and comes out quick. Lots of flavors to choose from and different options from scoops to crepes

    Kona coffee and coconut topped with Mac nut

    Stopped by MOSA for a late night sweet treat. We skipped the wrap and went with the 2 scoop cup - Kona coffee and Coconut ice creams topped with their special shaved mac nut. Yummy! Would've liked more of the mac nut as it was that good. The ice creams were good, too - creamy! Staff were very friendly. Also, one can enjoy their treat while playing Mario Smash as the game is available for free - located on the side of the shop.

    Grated peanuts

    Loved this spot for a sweet treat. I got the coffee ice cream topped with fresh strawberry slices and peanut shavings. The coffee flavor was rich without being overly sweet, and the texture was super smooth and creamy. The Taiwanese-style twist comes from the peanut shavings on top, which added a nutty, slightly salty crunch that made each bite more interesting. The strawberries brought a fresh, juicy balance that tied everything together really nicely. Simple combo, but so satisfying -- I'd definitely come back for this again.

    Fabula- MOSA! It tasted exactly how I imagined it to be. I was sifting through Yelp and found this cute little dessert/ice cream place. I was intrigued how it was all in a wrap! Yum. Their important ingredient was the peanuts! Sorry for all you peanut allergic people out there! The shaved peanut brittle was the cherry on the top for this wrap. So they take a crepe wrap and put the peanut shavings, then top it with scoop of ice-cream. We got the cookies and cream! Oh wow did it all blend together so well. They use what looks like pure peanut brittle. They have a macadamia option but it's seasonal. It was sooo good biting into this wrap. I could have honestly had another one. If I wasn't so full, I would have tried the macadamia one. Service was quick and the owner was really nice. Really puts a lot into his business and customers! Would love to come back again!

    Good service, wanted a sweet treat and saw this. It was pretty good, price was higher than expected. Pretty standard but cool flavors which I enjoyed.

    Two scoop. Peanut brittle
    Michelle I.

    Slap me happy this just blew my mind RIGHT open. You love ice cream? You love peanut brittle? Well slap those two together and you have heaven on earth. The sweet the saltiness, the texture. All five stars. Shaved peanut brittle right into my mouth please? The staff could not hav been sweeter or nicer- just like their brittle!

    Honeydew Mochi, Ube, matcha
    John A.

    Let me just say it was so good i kept going back on my trip here. I got lucky there was no line any of the times. Honeydew Mochi was the best flavor followed by Ube. I ordered Vanilla, Chocolate, Matcha and. Ube, Only negative is they open at 4. I can

    Tried four flavors, ube, kona, macha, and strawberry. Best one is Kona. Scoop is just right. Taste is ok. 11-18-2025

    Grape tanghulu

    Was craving a tanghulu- found it! It was a good tasty treat Super friendly and hard workers with the crowds. Tucked away a little off the Main Street but such a cute little outdoor spot. They have seating outside too.

    Located in Waikiki, we were looking for a late night dessert spot. MOSA said it was going to be open until midnight, so we decided to walk over. It was a small walk up dessert spot with a colorful exterior and some lights. There was some outdoor seating with tables and chairs around the entrance area. It had a friendly and warm atmosphere. The people working were sweet. We decided to get a cup of the matcha and a strawberry tanghulu. The cup of matcha with peanuts sprinkled on top was good. The matcha was not super strong, and had a more subtle flavor. The peanut flavor matched the matcha flavor in how strong they were. The tanghulu was good as well. Next time, we hope to try the wrap, which seems popular!

    Liz V.

    So glad to finally have tried out MOSA! I love Taiwan style ice cream and their latest macadamia nut brittle is soooo yummy. The staff was very friendly and our group enjoyed playing Super Smash Bros. while we ate our ice cream. Open late and super popular spot!

As you can see in one of my photos on this review, they offered a flavor called "Cheezus" which was a cheese ice cream with real cheese-its in it haha! I thought it was pretty unique. Their ice cream is made in house so theyre able to get some pretty great flavors on their menu. The shop is small, but the staff is always helpful.

Since this ice cream shop is located in chinatown, parking isn't the greatest at times. There is no designated parking for this ice cream shop but you can hopefully find nearby street parking or go to a nearby parking garage. It's easiest if youre just on foot. All in all, definitely an ice cream parlor worth trying out!

I did have an upset moment because my gps said I would get to Asato's at 1:58 so mentally I decided "I guess I didn't need it". But... lucky for me, traffic was in my favor and there was no delays, no red lights, and a parking space right out front so I got out of the car at precisely 1:55! Whew, I checked in and ran inside, excited that I made it. Also, super happy they were not sold out. You know I also cannot just get 1 pint. I took home 2 Pumpkin Custard, a Strawberry and candied ginger (which i got for mom so she doesnt get mad that I restocked the freezer). I did a purse grab and go so fast I did not notice the duchess status until going back to the car! So woohoo! I will definitely be sure to post a photo of my homemade pumpkin pie with the homemade deliciousness of pumpkin custard sherbert later this week! Happy Thanksgiving!

Without checking the freezer, I asked son, "Did you eat a few scoops or the whole pint?" He responded, "I ate the whole pint." He added, "It reminded him of eating shave ice." I will accept this as a gracious compliment. Infinite gratitude to all of the hardworking staff for creating, executing and producing one of a kind, edible, fun, pint size, local sensations for all to enjoy!

    Walking into an ice cream spot in Waikiki, you already know you're about to get financially…read moredisrespected. I was fully prepared to pay "ocean view tax" for a single scoop. Somehow, it ended up being the same price, if not cheaper, than the Baskin-Robbins by my house. That alone threw me off. Then the ice cream showed up... and now I'm suspicious for a different reason. Flavor was a straight 10 out of 10. Not "it's hot so I'll take anything cold" good, actually good. Like someone back there cares about your happiness. Portion size? Out of control. These guys are not measuring anything. It felt personal. Like they saw me walk in and said "yeah, give this guy the full send." And listen, I've never once in my life said "that's too much fudge." That's not a sentence I use. But they pushed me to the edge. Sundae came out looking like it was melting under pressure. Fudge dripping down the sides, chocolate overflowing like it had somewhere to be. I couldn't even take a picture because it was already escaping. One wrong move and I'm wearing it. At one point I wasn't even eating it anymore, I was just trying to contain the situation. This is exactly how a sundae should be. Messy, overloaded, slightly stressful, and 100 percent worth it. I'll be back... but next time I'm bringing backup.

It's the kind of spot you're most likely to discover while wandering in or out of Ginza Bairin, following a luxurious tonkatsu meal craving something cold and refreshing. The setup is refreshingly no-frills: medium styrofoam cups, flavors handwritten in Sharpie, and two separate freezers dividing ice cream and sorbet. The texture runs on the firmer side, which actually works in its favor -- your scoop holds up beautifully in the island heat and doesn't melt into a puddle five minutes later. Given the generous portions, you probably won't be refreezing leftovers anyway. The tropical fruit sorbets are the clear stars, made with fresh fruit and bursting with natural flavor. Mango, lychee, and guava taste vibrant and authentic -- bright, fragrant, and not overly sweet due to the natural acidity from using real fruit. Beyond the classics, there are some fun and unexpected options like corn cheese, durian, and avocado for the more adventurous palate. The standout for me, though, was the Kona coffee ice cream. It avoids the common trap of being cloyingly sweet and instead leans into a rich, dark, nutty undertone with an intense coffee essence that lingers in the best way. It feels grown-up and balanced -- deeply satisfying without overpowering. Whether you're looking for the perfect palate cleanser after tonkatsu or just want a cold treat while strolling through Waikiki, Henry's Place delivers simple, memorable scoops that taste like they're made with care. No frills, no fuss -- just really good ice cream and sorbet.

Coffee was good. Probably needed to try it on a hotter day but found it underwhelming.
