This is just a little roadside stand but it's making real Hawaiian shaved ice. They can do up to 4 flavors and add some condensed milk to it! If they had the toppings(like boba) or ice cream to add to the middle(oh, how I miss the lava flow ice cream) this would almost take me back to Hawaii.

Real shaved ice, not snow cones, need I say more. They also served it with ice cream kind of like…read moreMatsimoto in Oahu. We'll be back for sure

I had been looking forward to trying this cute little place out. I came in for a late lunch and…read morewas greeted right away. There were only two staff working but both were helpful and kind. I asked a lot of questions and the lady spent a lot of time with me. I ended up choosing the Kalbi with Hawaiian Cole slaw and macaroni salad. The portion size was big enough for three meals. I loved nori of the salads and the meat was good, too. The decor makes you heel like you are connected with Hawaii. The two locations, Hampstead and Hawaii- really cool. I really liked it there.

Staff were friendly and food was served quick. Seating inside and outside…read more Ordered Big island ono smoothie (pineapple, mango, lilikoi (passonfruit), POG (passionfruit, orange, guava)), Malasada coated with Li Hung Mui sugar (plum powder) and filled with guava, Macapuno waffle, Loco Moco, and Ube hush puppies. I liked everything except the smoothie. I don't know if it was the lilikoi or POG or both, but it had a strong artificial sweetener flavor for my taste. The Malasada was essentially a yeast doughnut with sugar sprinkled on top. The Macapuno waffle was soft, very sweet, and had a starchy like texture from the Ube. It was a little hard to eat since it would get crumbly when I tried to eat it with my fork. Served with dried toasted coconut flakes and lots of coconut whipped cream. Loco Moco was delicious. Gravy was already on the rice and not on the meat. Would be better if they gave extra gravy so I'll have to ask for that next time! They asked how I wanted my eggs cooked. I asked for medium, but it was cooked a little bit more than medium. Eggs were seasoned with nori komi furikake (Shirakiku brand/dried seaweed, black-and-white sesame seeds)- love! Ube hush puppies were the bomb. Crispy and sweet. Definitely worth a visit!

We were looking for a shaved ice place in Wilmington, and found Pelican's Snoballs on Yelp. It has…read morea vaguely obscene name (lol balls), and my kids insisted that we visit it. What the heck -- let's go get some pelican snowballs. They claim to offer 100 different flavors here, and although I didn't count, I would say that might be true. There are lots of different flavors of shaved ice to choose from. This is New Orleans-style shaved ice, according to the sign outside. I don't know how this shaved ice differs from other shaved ice, but apparently, the person who started Pelican's Snoballs was from New Orleans and named the place after the Louisiana state bird. In any case, my children really enjoyed their shaved ice! We got one Unicorn, which is cotton candy flavored syrup topped with whipped cream and sparkly sprinkles. We also got a Shark Attack, which is Tiger's Blood and another flavor with shark gummies in the middle. They have some wacky concoctions here. You can take your shaved ice to go (they even have a drive-thru), or you can stay and eat at the picnic tables located outside. There is no indoor seating. When we visited, there was one person working there, so it took a little while to get our snow cones. But they were made really well and looked picture perfect, so they were obviously made with care and attention.

They must have limited off season hours because the first time we stopped by they were closed. But last Friday, we were able to try several of their popular dogs. The menu is vast and they serve burgers and other food besides dogs. I had the famous Carolina dog that had chili sauce and Cole slaw. I'm not sure I'll ever get used to slaw on a dog, but it was good. My husband had the Beach Dog which was immense and messy. He loved it. The Beach dog was a delicious blend of chili, slaw, onions and mustard. Service was friendly and quick. We ate at the tables in front of the stand which were clean! There is parking that is free off season, but I'm not sure about high season.
