    Ube with fruity pebbles
    Marissa K.

    The crème brûlée cookie dough ice cream is dangerously good. The custardy crème brûlée flavor is rich and creamy without being too sweet, and the cookie dough pieces are generous and perfectly soft. The caramelized sugar notes add a subtle crunch and a deep, toasted flavor that takes it to another level. Every bite has a great balance -- smooth, indulgent ice cream with just the right amount of texture from the cookie dough. It tastes decadent but not heavy, which somehow makes you want to keep eating more. If you're a dessert person, this flavor is a must-try. I'd absolutely order it again.

    I really enjoyed my experience here :) The worker that helped me was very kind and attentive in answering all my questions. I came for the Big Island Cookie collab ice cream and it was sooo good. The cookies infused with the soft serve reminded me of Kith Treats... I wish they kept it and that it wasn't limited to only a few days. The ube soft serve was very good too! I've tried it in soft serve form and in the Creme Brulee version. Both very good! Will definitely be back - the interior is super cute and they open later than other dessert places which caters to people like me - who come alive at night lol

    We walked over for dessert after eating at Totoya across the street. It was my first time here even though I pass it all the time. There was a constant stream of customers for the 20 minutes that we were in the store. It's a cute ice cream shop with lots of catchy phrases on the walls. We decided on one of the popular combos, Sugar Baby $8.50. It contained sprinkles, teddy grahams, chocolate chips, Oreos, Cocoa Pebbles and Chocolate Pocky's. We had a choice of soft serve and we got the Oreo. We were expecting vanilla ice cream with bits of Oreos in it. However, the ice cream was just brown. It tasted like chocolate ice cream. The Sugar Baby wasn't bad. It was just too much chocolate for me. It would have been better if it was true Oreo ice cream. What caught my eye was the creme brûlée ice cream. Someone ordered that and it looked pretty dope. The ice cream was on the bottom and they blow torched some kind of sugary coating on the top until it hardened. I want to try that the next time I'm here.

    This place has been here and while and I never stopped because I don't really love soft serve. Recently we went to dinner at a place nearby that didn't have any dessert options so we decided to try out Thrills. I had low expectations (again not a huge fan of soft serve) and thought it was mostly a place centered around Instagram foodie shots but I went when they had a special collab with Aiea bowl and offered a lemon crunch cake crème brûlée. I'm not kidding that I think it's one of the best desserts I've had in recent memory. Please please do this collab again, it was so good. My daughter got the ube soft serve sugar baby, she gave it a 10/10 on appearance and taste. Parking can be limited, the parking lot in the back was full when we went and so was street parking. So we had to wait for someone to leave, it only took a couple of minutes. Overall, nice setting, good place to fulfill your sweet tooth, and super cute aesthetic.

    Crème Brulee Cosmic Brownie

    This was my first time trying out Thrills, and I really enjoyed it. The location is easy to find and convenient. There is an ally next to the shop with some parking. Ala Moana mall is also close enough to park at and walk over. The inside is clean with a good amount of seating. Staff members were very friendly and helpful with making my decision of what to get. I got the crème brûlée cosmic brownie ice cream. It was really good!

    Thrills is my go-to restaurant for soft serve in town. Their vibe is playful, branding is fun, service is fast, and provide plentiful seating in and outside the restaurant. They have plenty of choices that include soft serve, sundaes, and lactos-free options. My go-to is the Cookie Butter Sundae with the banana oat-milk soft serve. A great choice if you are looking for ice cream or a nice cold treat in town.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "THRILL seeker! A Slay B***h Slay with choice ube soft serve n' a Banana Bread Creme Brulee from Thrills Soft Serve. Seriously been forever, but the soft serve is just as good as I remember!" Staff: friendly Interior: limited seating Exterior: near Ala Moana Center Wait time: no line, dessert made under 5 mins Parking: metered street or back lot that is free depending on day/time Overall comments: it's been years I believe since my last visit. Still a cute n' colorful spot with nice backgrounds to take a photo. Was helped out right away. The ube soft serve still had its creamy n' yummy ube flavor. It was extremely fun for my kids with the sprinkles, pocky, n' Oreos. The creme brulee was nice n' unique with the banana bread soft serve. Am always discouraged to go bc of the parking, but I'm glad I recently learned about the back lot. Look forward to what creations they come up with next!

    The service wasn't the friendliest, but maybe because it was an hour before closing. The matcha had a strong, legit flavor that leaned more intense and slightly bitter instead of sugary sweet, which I actually loved because it tasted like real matcha. The ube was good too, just a bit more mellow compared to other places. The star for me though was the creme brûlée. That little caramelized top with the creamy center was honestly the best part.

    DUBAI CRÈME BRÛLÉE
    Caitlin C.

    I've been going here for years, how have I never written a review??? My favorite ice cream place on the island! It's rare that an insta-worthy food place is ALSO delicious. Their Asian inspired flavors are always so fun, unique,and nostalgic, and they don't mess around with the toppings! The crème brûlée that they've been doing for the past year has been life changing. I need the Dubai crème brûlée to be a permanent menu item it's so good It's a little pricey but these days what isn't? They put a lot of thought and love into their flavors and you can really tell, it's more than worth it. Love you Thrills

    Food: The food at Thrills was visually appealing and tasted good. For my personal preference, the flavors leaned on the sweeter side, though I generally prefer more salty or savory foods. That said, I still finished my combo ice cream. Overall, our party enjoyed the food, especially considering it was our first time trying the place. Service: The staff was friendly and helpful. I let them know it was my first visit and that I wasn't sure how ordering worked, and they clearly explained the process, toppings, and price points. This was appreciated since the menu wasn't very clear upon entry and felt a bit overstimulating at first, though manageable once explained. Ambiance: The atmosphere was clean and very mainstream. There are two long tables on either side of the space, making it suitable for large groups. Seating felt practical and accommodating rather than cozy.

    My friends and I were having dinner nearby and decided to pick up a sweet treat from Thrills to end the night. I love that they have rotating unique flavors. I got the slay bitch slay combo with honey milk ice cream. The honey milk was definitely more on the sweet side, but I enjoyed it. I love how many toppings the slay bitch slay comes with, and my favorite is definitely the toasted marshmallow. The interior of the shop is so cute and the workers are friendly. There's some seating inside and outside, and we were lucky enough to get a seat on a Monday night. Thrills is definitely a great dessert spot if you're in the area!

    Again, this is another place where I think I bought into the IG influencers. The place is in town so I understand the problem with parking and small spaces. The aesthetics is cool. The ice cream and cream brulee is tastly. The service is good. But I think its another place where they assume you know their menu and how to order there. And yet another place where the influencers show things that actually have to be created but not on the menu as a stand alone item. Its not a bad place, just not for me.

    Creme brulee with hot cocoa soft serve
    Tiffany H.

    Wanted ice cream after dinner. Searched a place and this was the top place which popped up. Got a creme brulee topped hot cocoa soft serve. The creme brulee was great! I loved the crunchy topping. Soft serve was ok. For $8.50. It's super expensive and small compared to what you get for $6 or $7 at other places. You also get less ice cream with the creme brulee vs with a topping. Their Outside table area smelt like old vomit or piss and inside, the tables were sticky. Workers were nice though and there was a steady stream of people coming through for a random week night

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.

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.

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.
