Nice little beachside shack with fresh pineapple and coconut drinks with flair! It's sooo touristy and I loved every bit of that, plus the drink itself was fresh and satisfying. This thing was huge and heavy! Which kept it from tipping on the sand so another plus for that :) read more

I went to four shaved ice places on my trip to Hawaii. The Wakiki Grass Shack had my favorite flavor of all of the flavors I tried. The blue vanilla was so good I kinda wish I had done the whole thing as blue vanilla but instead I split it with another flavor, pineapple. It was still good but the blue vanilla was literally sensational. It's a small location on the beach. The Apple Maps has the location incorrect so I almost didn't find it. It's located on the side of the street where the beach is. It was so nice to just be outside and cool off with a shaved ice. read more

I didn't try the food but I was happy with what I got. I got the pineapple drink no alcohol but it was refreshing. It was about 20 bucks. It had pineapple and ice cream and I asked for added condensed milk for an extra dollar. The young ladies at the counter were nice but a little distracted - talking about gossip about some guy calling her on the phone, I'm pretty sure there was no condensed milk or ice cream in it. I should hsve went back to clarify but I wanted to go back to my room and didn't feel like walking but since I didn't taste it until I was halfway to my hotel. It was still good but I would just make sure to ask next time to make sure it was done. read more

This is a must visit cute hidden gem in Waikiki Beach. This is the perfect tropical treat while overlooking the ocean. This drink did not taste like the typical coconut drink that usually has a light texture. It had a thick texture which resembled an arroz con leche (rice pudding) texture with a subtle sweetness. The pineapple was fresh. Nonetheless it was good and refreshing! read more

My wife and I previously ate at the world famous shrimp truck Giovanni's and while the shrimp was yummy, we felt it wasn't worth the hype. After spending a day at the beach we decided to get some food quickly and settled on Waikiki Grass Shack since its conveniently located on the beach. We ordered the garlic shrimp and where amazed at how awesome it was. They are grilled and have an amazing garlic/grill fusion taste to it that was unexpected and memorable. This place comes highly recommended and offered a more memorable shrimp experience than some of the other more well-established shrimp establishments on Oahu. read more

Ordered poke and garlic shrimp. What do you expect from food at Waikiki beach? Shrimp: not fresh shrimp (shrimp is so soft to the point you know it has been defrost for sooooooo long). Garlic - overpowering the shrimp. Sauce: spicy mayo. For $11?14 that I paid for 5 medium size shrimp and cold fries? Not recommended Poke over rice? Absolutely bad. Simply just mix soy sauce with chopped onion and rice is so hard to eat. I had two bit but could forced myself for a 3rd bite. Feedback? I had a bad day at the bathroom afterwards.

What a joke. Only one person works there; cannot even come close to keeping up with customers. Waited about 20 minutes, standing in line, for a burger (why? I dunno) only to finally get to the front of the queue only to be told, "sorry, sold out". WTF??? Why didn't the dude cross it off the food board? Oh, he was too busy slowly serving other customers. Talk about shitty service; this place has that aspect wrapped up. Since I'd already wasted 20 minutes (why???), I opted for a terrible kalua pork sandwich. That sammich was worthy of two stars but nothing more. DO NOT waste your time or money at this place. Keep walking and find good food/service elsewhere. Yeah I know, it's Waikiki where food, prices, and service all suck since it caters to one-time tourists. read more

If you're looking for the worst shave ice on the island, look no further. They charge almost $6 for shave ice, they can at least afford a new and better ice shaver. The one they have looks to have been created before Hawaii became a state. Come on, Grass Shack. It's time for an upgrade. If you're looking to have some real Hawaiian shave ice, this isn't the place for you. But if you just want a shave ice, drink in a coconut/pineapple photo by the water then this place will suffice. read more

First, over time, they switched from white bread to whole wheat, which I can understand if they want it to appear healthier. Now it wasn't delicious anymore, but still acceptable. More recently, when I tried it again, the taste seemed off. To my taste, the recipe has changed. I didn't just try one, I tried a second sandwich as well. It is no longer even okay.

This place was just two blocks away, so we braved the November misty rain and consistent wind through the buildings to make it over here. To be fair, this seemed more like a Vietnamese coffee joint and a Banh Mi place... so maybe coming here for pho wasn't our best idea. They had two kinds available that night-- beef and chicken. Since chicken pho is not something I'm willing to try, we both ordered up the dac biet. The broth was bland with a thin and unpleasant veil of grease along the top that congealed quickly on the rim of the bowl. It wasn't hot enough, or maybe the pre-cooked and chilled noodle block they poured it over cooled it off. Meat was chewy and low quality. The sprouts and basil were soggy and wilted. Honestly, it was a get up and leave kind of thing. The whole place was just dingy and didn't feel great.

The pesto chicken salad was loaded with beautiful green goodies which made this treat as aesthetically pleasing as it was delectable. They're also slapping down some of the best local Hawaiian ingredients into these here sanguines. The pesto itself was mac-nut based, which was intriguing. I'll be honest, I couldn't taste the difference between that and a pine nut pesto, but it was friggin delish pesto either way. The only downside I can think of is that the bread here lands somewhere between "ok" and "good". I've never had a bread quite like it, but it reminds me of a mix between an artisanal white bread, and a painini bread that you would find in Italy. It got the job done, but I feel like it could be upgraded. Sprout is worth a visit before or after your beach trip.

Yeah, probably. Also a little odd that I've actually never seen any cockroaches anywhere else at south shore marketplace... If you're the type that worries about your food prep.. maybe take this into consideration..

Cheesy Crab is kanikama crab leg, house soy glaze, cheese sauce, green onion, and masago.

I recently tried a pineapple drink at a local spot and honestly, it was a disappointing experience all around. First, the drink itself was overpriced for what it was--just a basic pineapple juice with some sugar and ice. For the price, I expected something fresh and flavorful, but it tasted more like a watered-down, overly sweetened version of what I had hoped for. What made it worse was the customer service. The staff seemed completely disinterested and unhelpful. read more

Fabulous garlic shrimp right on the beach at Waikiki without paying hotel prices! A great spot to stop in for a bite or a shave ice!

Delicious local flavors with larger than most serving size. The wait time can be a little longer…read morethan other shaved ice places but for the flavor id say it's worth it. The soft opening had a nice creamy matcha flavor with fresh strawberry flavor and slices. Mixed with the ice cream it made both flavors even creamier. The azuki serving was a little less than I anticipated but still a nice scoop. The Wanted had a nice li hing flavor without the strong artificial flavor and the mango flavor had some fresh mango shavings too. The mochi pieces weren't too tough or too chewy and offered a nice change in texture. My daughter enjoyed the popping boba too. She says it's a 5/5 (young yelper in training). The drive is a lot further than I'd care to travel just for shaved ice but if you're in the Waikiki area, definitely check this place out. Best place for Parking would probably be the Zoo ($1.50 for 1hr) and the walk will help you warm back up after this sweet treat.

My wife did some searching here on Yelp for a place and saw that this place had some great reviews so we came to check it out. Ducked off in what I would describe as a parking garage, they have a walk up window that you can come to an order. Watch out for the moving cars! They had tons of options and many combinations for you to choose from. I was feeling pretty basic on this day, so I just got a shaved ice with half cherry and half grape. So good! They put a ton of flavor in the ice. There wasn't a bite that didn't taste just like plain ice. I got the keiki size, and as you can see from the picture I have it's a pretty big portion. Honestly, big enough for two people to share. I would highly recommend this place!

This is such a cool spot in Waikiki. Located directly across from Waikiki beach. Island Vintage is…read morefamous for its velvety, snow-like texture, natural fruit syrups, and unique loaded toppings like mochi, popping boba, and a hidden center of ice cream or frozen yogurt. Compared to others, they're not stingy with the syrups nor the ice cream! They serve generous portions at reasonable prices. The vibe is definitely modern, clean and sleek! They also have a great selection of flavors and pre-made combinations. My ultimate fav is the Tropical Island 10/10! Super creamy, fluffy, and soaked in sweet mango and pineapple syrups. Definitely worth a visit! You won't be disappointed- these peeps know what they're doing and love to serve the crowds with that Aloha spirit!

The condensed milk addition gives it that extra rich flavor, but not overpowering in the least. It was my first time trying mochi and I'm not a fan. Always open to trying new things with an open mind, but texture to me is also important. I didn't like the texture of it and it doesn't taste like anything. Now let's get back to the shave ice...the traditional Hawaiian Rainbow with the coconut, strawberry and mango was perfection! You could see the strawberry seeds in the syrup and the little added pieces of mango. YUM! It was large enough to be shared with another person. Only reason for 4 out of 5 stars is the tables were all sticky and not enough help to have someone clean them. I ended up using napkins and hand sanitizer to clean my own table.
