It also comes with a side of boba pearls. We decided to try their Taiwanese chicken too, but probably won't be ordering it again. It did not taste like traditional Taiwanese popcorn chicken - just tasted like a chicken nugget. Not bad but would definitely get shaved ice over the chicken. Will be coming back to try some milk teas!

It's such a picturesque place with decors as befitted the store name. I loved their bff boba and…read moreshaved ice has big portion but recall it not being shaved snow like bingsoo where the ice is made from frozen condensed milk but from plain ice cubes instead.

You can have the option to have your shaved ice with a scoop of ice cream at the bottom which was a super unique twist and I personally loved it. The truck itself was very unique, colorful and fun! They are served in a nice cone with a lip to decrease the drippage. I got the sweet cream and coconut flavor with ice cream at the bottom - delish! If I see this truck again, I would definitely visit again!

Wow! Just wow!! We moved from MN to NC last week. And drove by this place and today we checked it…read moreout. We needed a little refreshing treat after a long day of unpacking and this place definitely hit the spot! There is SO many flavors to choose from. Italian ice and 'SnoBalls'. We are familiar with with shaved ice where we are from but tonight we wanted the very very thin ones which is snowballs. Italian ice to me is a thicker heavier shaved ice. I was taking pics and the owner Margie came out to see if we had any questions. I assume we looked confused as there was 2 different kinds of choices of shaved ice. She explained the difference and we did indeed make the right choice :) she was SO nice and friendly. When I'm telling you this, I'm not lieing. What a gem!!! She even let us try the Italian ice which was amazing as well. I even joked in a few years my son should get a job here ;) it's a laid back atmosphere with tables, bean bag game/cornhole. We all agreed we LOVED it and it is amazing. We will become regulars for sure!! Thank you Margie for being so sweet and welcome. See you soon!

Parked in the "food truck rodeo" parking lot at the corner of Firetower and Evans every day of the week, this truck has quite a few carnival-style vittles to tickle your palate. I come for the funnel cake. The staff is always friendly and prompt, and everything is made-to-order. I usually pull in and park and then walk up to the window and place my order and wait in the car to be called. Within 5-8 minutes, my funnel cake is packed up and ready to go. $6 and a thank you later and I have a delicacy that I would ordinarily only get to enjoy in October at the NC State Fair. It's always piping hot with just the right amount of powdered sugar and not greasy. This is a nice treat for the summer and a great way to treat yourself after a long week of eating healthy at home, socially distancing, and hand washing.

One Ice Machine? In This Heat? Bold Strategy…read more I drove an hour in the middle of a heat wave like I was on a mission from the shaved ice gods. I pulled up to Waves Shave Ice in Holly Springs, ready to cool down and live my best life. Instead, I got a front-row seat to a sweaty comedy. Stood in line for over 60 minutes under the blazing sun -- no shade, no misting fans, not even a warning flare. Then, just as I get close to the window... "Sorry, our ice machine just broke." Ma'am. Sir. ONE ice machine? In the peak of summer? With this kind of traffic? Y'all need at least two, maybe even three. This place is too popular to be operating like a home kitchen with one blender on life support. They need to treat this like a concert venue, not a lemonade stand. Invest in backup machines -- or at least an emotional support popsicle for the folks in line. I left hotter than I came, spiritually and physically. All I got was disappointment and a tan line and am chocolate already.

Bathrooms were clean and the ice water was a huge amount for the price we paid. Two regular sizes for $11 was well worth it. Even played great music. They sell other items like banana pudding. Didn't get to try because our servings were so big we didn't have room. It was a little hard to find them because the signage doesn't help with what they are selling but you will see posters on the windows outside. Try em out y'all!
