Had to wait a couple minutes for the lady to finish someone's order (since it's only one person, be patient!) They gave me a buzzer and within 4 minutes my dessert was ready. This dessert is huge, definitely made for two people I think. I ate half, and saved the rest to take home. It is so delicious. The ice cream, the topping and the mangos were sweet. I will definitely be coming back another time to try more flavors.

Finally came back a year later an hour after they opened and was so happy that they were open and ready to take orders. You place an order and they give you a buzzer for when your bingsu is ready. It took some time but it was well worth the wait! You can walk around the other restaurants/ food trucks while you wait. The mango was sweet and not tart whatsoever. The condensed milk evenly coated the ice and the ice was the softest texture. Each bite was heavenly and had me craving the next bite. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend this spot!

It's definitely worth the drive out to the Kahuku Sugar Mill. Here you can get poke bowls, poke nachos, poke salads, and poke by the pound. For the poke bowls and salad you can get either a regulah (1 choice poke) or mayjah (2 choices of poke). It comes with the cucumber namasu but be sure to add on a scoop of their crab salad! Their garlic wave and lao style poke were two or my faves. The Lao style has a kick with Thai chili peppers and loved the fried garlic bits! If you're trying poke for the first time, you gotta try the sweet ginger shoyu. The poke nachos here are next level, it's like a beautiful mess with all the right flavors and textures. Don't miss out on this North Shore gem!

Super friendly staff! I tried the limu (Ry's recommendation) and the yuzu wasabi. Out of the two,…read morethe yuzu was my favorite. The flavor was very refreshing! The combo, price wise, was a bang of your buck. With two half scoops of your choice of poke, plus rice and cucumbers. Also recommend adding the crab salad!

The mixed smoothie #2 is a mix of pineapple, mango and strawberries. Needless to say i really enjoyed the drink. It was fresh, sweet and such an enjoyable experience i finished it in less than 5 minutes ! This place is a little hidden. It's all the way in the back towards all the food trucks in the area but can be seen from the road. They do have seating options for maybe 8 individuals but it's a nice atmosphere. The service was exceptional. Needless to say i will definitely be coming back here.

The ordering system is quick, step inside and they will take your order and give you a buzzer. Then you can step out to one of the many picnic tables while you wait for your order to be ready. After that you just head back inside for pickup. When our Pancakes arrived they were impressively huge. Definitely enough to share and legitimately some of the best Pancakes I have ever had. The coconut syrup also goes great with the pancakes. Since we got the combo we also got two eggs and sausages. Overall Ted's is a great stop and I would definitely return. Highly Reccommended!

Today, I had the chocolate haupia and it was tasty. The whipped cream on top is decorative and not too heavy, and the haupia is nice, although I do wish it were more coconutty. The service is never particularly pleasant. The workers seem unhappy to be checking people out, at least every time that I go. However, they are quick. I will give them that. Ample seating outside, although there's usually a lot of leftover trash from other people who have eaten there earlier. A good stop if you are craving pie by the slice at a reasonable price.

I would recommend this place for everyone to visit while on the island. Don't even question it....JUST DO IT!

Unfortunately all the smoked items were sold out for the day, so we had to adjust course and try something else. Hubs went for the Cuban, which comes with fries and a lemonade, MIL went for the pulled pork sandwich which also comes with fries and lemonade, and I had the home made waffle dog and Kahuku corn with the works (garlic butter, parmesean and some spices). The wait time was fairly good for a food truck, and there was dedicated seating right next to the truck as well. Hub's sandwich was huge, and he said it was a little challenging to eat it as stuffing was falling out. MIL's sandwich was a decent amount of pulled pork, and she liked the sauce on the sandwich. We were probably the only locals eating in the area, as most of the patrons to all of the various food trucks looked like tourists. It's something to do when going to the North Shore. Remember, women tip better! Posted on the tip jar.

Sometimes I'm not even looking for shave ice, but then it finds me lol. Rainbow House Shave Ice in…read moreKahuku is one of them and is a keeper on my go to list. I've noticed that the local vendors a bit off the beaten path in Oahu often turn out to be the best spots to try local favorites, so I figured this one had to be a gem. SHAVED ICE: 10/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 SHAVED ICE: 10/10 I don't usually care much for shave ice, but this one felt different. The ice is super soft and fluffy, not like the crunchy, gritty stuff you sometimes get. The flavor was really clean and vibrant and did not taste artificial. I tried the Waiola special, and it was EVERYTHING. Those portions were perfect. I love how they put a scoop of ice cream in the center of the mountain of shaved ice. Each bite was paired nicely with either mochi bites or vanilla ice cream. The menu was massive, ranging from acai bowls, smoothies, shakes, sundaes, etc., with so many yummy selections, and I was so indecisive on what to pick. They do both the classic flavors and some more creative combos. But the Waiola special was perfect. SERVICE: 9/10 The place has a laid-back, aloha feel. We did not experience a wait and were actually the only ones there, which is great as I heard this place can get packed. AMBIANCE: 9/10 The vibe is super relaxed with open-air, shaded seating, and very casual. It's the kind of place you stop at during a North Shore trip just to cool off, soak in the sun, and treat yourself. Parking: Pretty easy, which is a big plus when you're driving around Kahuku. I came in thinking shave ice was "just okay," but Rainbow House changed my mind. Their shave ice is genuinely memorable... light, flavorful, and fun. If you're anywhere near Kahuku or just driving the North Shore, this is absolutely a stop worth making.

I'd rank this as third of the four ices I had. There were a crapload of flavor options, and they were happy to combine them in any way I wanted, like three of the four places I tried. Staff was friendly enough, and this was probably the quickest shave ice I got. This is in a giant cluster of food trucks and food huts, so it's kind of tourist hell, but also, some of the stuff there is pretty tasty, so, y'know, whatever. And it seemed to have some locals there. I loved sitting and watching the chickens run around.

On top of that, it's overpriced--$7 for the base and an extra $1.50 per topping adds up quickly. The flavor selection is also pretty limited, which is disappointing given the cost.
