    Smimazu Store is a hidden gem! The shop is clean, welcoming, and gives off much Aloha. Display shelves are stocked with small packages of their branded local kine snacks, making it more than just a shave ice shop. The staff was friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. The shave ice itself was exactly what great modern shave ice should be--light, fluffy, and instantly melting in your mouth with every bite. The syrup flavors are on point, tasting vibrant without being overly sweet, and the house flavor combinations are absolutely on point. Smimazu has officially earned a spot on my go-to list for shave ice whenever I'm back home visiting family. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality shave ice with great service, this place is definitely worth a visit! Mahalo nui

    I've been going here since I was little kid and their shop was in Liliha. The shave ice is always sooo soft, yummy syrups and the portions are huge. The Keiki size is the same size as a normal one from any other place. My go to order is Keiki strawberry cream/banana cream with ice cream and snow cap. The perfect treat on any day but especially a hot one!

    I would say this was a decent place to get shave ice but with the competition now days across the whole island it was pretty mediocre. The store itself was very small but conveniently located next to sushi bay which we ended up going to afterwards. The prices were fair, I just prefer Matsumotos or Waiola shave ice.

    Huge portions and fast, friendly service! We stopped by for dessert after eating lunch at Sushi Bay next door. The shop is a relatively small hole in the wall with plenty of benches outside for eating. We ordered the Shimazu Special which was big enough for two to share. Will definitely return to try the other shaved ice specials.

    I was so sad to hear their original location closed, but now they have one in Kapolei! So I can have Shimazu when I'm on either side of the island which is an incredible perk. Their shaved ice is the reason why I only go to Hawaii to eat it and I never touch it back in California. Its located in a large shopping plaza, so parking is not an issue. There is one bench located inside, but shaved ice is best enjoyed outside anyway. The cashier was friendly, and working very hard since they were the only person in the store to take orders and to prepare the shaved ice. The kids size is huge, and is more than enough for one person. I love that they have so many flavors, and each of them is made in house.

    The shaved ice was great- super fluffy and packed with flavor. There are so many flavors to choose from, everyone will find something they like. I really liked that they serve Dave's Ice Cream with their shaved ice. The keiki sized shaved ice is plenty to share. They also offer snacks and popcorn (plain and furikake). Located in a strip mall, there's lots of parking. Highly recommend !

    Amazing shave ice in Kapolei? Yes, please! My family loves matcha shave ice and this spot makes it sooo good! Plus the size of the shave ice is HUGE! We shared one with the three of us. There's benches outside of the store that you could sit and enjoy. I love that there's ample amount of parking, too! Absolutely delicious shave ice with azuki, condense milk and icecream inside. Service was speedy and friendly. Hope this place stays in business forever.

    Clean and bright shop

    Easy peasy to enjoy a refreshing cool treat, popcorn or snacks! The small shop may seem crowded, but the efficient staff hustles to get everyone served. Individualized options are endless! Clean and bright shop with no inside seating except for customers waiting for their sweet treat. Enjoy outside in the shade & try not to make a mess! Support local!

    Amazing service! No line. Definitely must stop! Ordered a red velvet with mochi and condensed milk and it was fantastic! Perfect for a hot day! If you've been to the original location the quality is the same, just way easier to find parking by! Definitely stop here if you need a cool treat!

    The perfect shave ice - here with lime and cherry

    Shimazu Store in Kapolei was a treasure to find. We often stay up in Ko-Olina and having to drive all the way to the Shimazu Shave Ice next to Rainbow Drive-In is such a haul. But we would make the drive every time because it is the best shave ice on the island. Until we found this place. As just as sweet, with equally wonderful scoops of perfectly fine shave ice, it is so much closer. Found out that this place is owned by the father of the person who runs the other Shimazu so no wonder the quality is just as good. Plus, this place is cleaner, more tidy, and without long lines. Wow. FOOD: Amazing shave ice. Again, these are not snow cones but four levels above. And so perfect. Try it with ice cream! Huge selection of flavors too. SERVICE: Friendly and quick and again clean plus with options the other Shimazu doesn't have. Totally worth it! COST: I'd pay twice for shave ice this good!

    Love that Shimazu is close by my home. It's been a hot Indian summer and weather muggy. So a shave ice helps beat the heat. Plenty of parking. Plenty of options. HUGE serving for a small. Great price. Plenty of seating right outside, which is the cement planter wall. Perfect size store. Helpful staff. Nice affordable options of candy and popcorn. And the display in front is super cute. Nice to see families sharing while we all try to beat the heat.

    I remember really liking the other Shimazu location on our last visit so I had high expectations here. They didn't disappoint! They have so many unique flavors and creams but it can be a little bit overwhelming so I ended up just picking off the Shimazu Favorites list and adding mochi. But as I was standing there waiting, I noticed so many flavors I wanted to try, like Fuji Apple and Sweet Coffee! But we were plenty happy with our Coconut Dream, which has coconut and ube cream, Haupia cream on top, and vanilla ice cream inside. When you add on mochi (extra $1.25) they put it inside which I kinda wish it was on the outside like other places, because the ice hardens it a bit. It wasn't quite as soft and chewy as other places but still not bad! The keiki size was actually plenty for our family to share too. There was no wait at all when we came here and they even have some cute merch that would make a great souvenir!

    Shimazu Special
    Jocelyn O.

    The perfect treat to cool down after a fun day spent at the beach. Shimazu Store offers a variety of flavors but the Shimazu Special (red velvet and crème brûlée combo) is unmatched. It comes topped with condensed milk, ice cream, and mochi. So yummy!

Flavors: Mango (good), Peach (awesome, but too little cuz its just a thin strip wedged between 2 flavors), lilikoi (horrible... tasted like cough syrup... ). The portions are decent sized for the price. My friends had a Mango Shave Ice with condensed milk, mochi and ice cream (he loved it) and a chocolate hazelnut ice cream (whcih she said was good) but wasn't very satisfying maybe because she wanted Halo Halo only to find out its not available when we got to the counter to order. Since its a order and pick up at counter type of self service place we didn't really have an opinion on the service, but the staff at counter was nice enough. Overall, it was a nice cozy little place with air-conditioned indoor seating as well as benches outside. Plenty of parking in the lot and surrounding area when we went, maybe because it was during down time. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to hangout somewhere to cool off during this crazy Super HOT El Niño summer.

    N and I had just stuffed ourselves sharing one gigantic combo plate at Broke Da Mouth Grindz next…read moredoor. We wanted dessert, but one look at the size of their ice cream pies scared us off. Then I saw someone at Broke Da Mouth eating this crazy-looking dessert and had to ask what it was. Halo-halo. And apparently the place to get it was right next door. So off we went to Magnolia/The Halo Halo Place for a "smaller" dessert. We got the Classic Mahalo-Halo, Original size, but swapped the ube ice cream for mango. Underneath was shaved ice with banana, macapuno, kaong, azuki beans, langka, nata de coco and pinipig. Basically a whole bunch of things I had never eaten together before. Then we learned halo-halo means "mix-mix." And this was a Filipino dessert - So we mixed. Every spoonful was different: creamy, icy, fruity, chewy, crunchy. There is a lot going on in that cup. I went in because I saw someone else eating a gorgeous dessert ( N kept telling me not to stare !!!) and got curious. I came out understanding why halo-halo has such a following. So many textures, so many flavors, and somehow one very happy cup. I will halo halo the next chance I get !!!

    We love Magnolias for a nice refreshing treat! We love getting the halo halo without da halo…read morebecause I don't prefer beans or jackfruit in my dessert. I love how the halo halo isn't too sweet. I believe the sweetness is predominantly from the ice cream. This location is right by solid businesses (restaurants next door) which makes this place perfect for dessert right after. It is also right by the old theater so the whole parking lot is pretty low key area. The employee was very nice to my big family and didn't rush us to take our order when it took a while for everyone to figure out what they wanted. The place is nice and cozy to eat your dessert.

Loved the fact that they use Dave's ice cream (and not the cheap stuff that's probably not even ice cream). The ice is powdery and snow soft and melts in your mouth! The ratio of syrup to ice is just right - it was not overly sweet like some other places. Prices are also SUPER reasonable compared to other tourist places. They also sell aloha wear and accessories, making this place a one stop shop for all your local needs.
