Perfectly shaved, fluffy ice and high-quality, authentic flavors. The variety of toppings really sets this spot apart. We shared a large shave ice with three flavors- Li Hing, strawberry and watermelon then added condensed milk and mochi. It was gone in 5 minutes and my only regret is having shared one. If I'm back in Hawaii, I will surely go back to Matsumoto's!

Drop everything and go, it IS worth it! I got the guava,…read moregreen tea, passion fruit flavor. My husband got the lychee, guava, peach flavor. The guava, peach, and green tea flavors were our favorites. The shaved ice was strong and balanced without tasting artificial. It tastes great with the smooth vanilla ice cream and honestly, this place has the best mochi we've ever had. It's not just about the shaved ice. The price is unbeatable, great ambience with cute little chickens roaming around this atmospheric little city and their friendly shopkeepers. You would need a car to get to this place though since it's very north of the island. Park behind the building. The line moves very very fast so don't worry and just do it, you won't regret it.

Wow!! This place is easily the best shave ice we've ever had!! Every time we come to north shore we…read morealways get matsumoto's which isn't the best quality shave ice but is so cheap and has a lot of flavors. We decided to finally try a different shave ice place this time since north shore has so many places. Parking was in the same lot as the food truck park that has surf and salsa which is normally really crowded during lunch hours, we came around 2:30 so it wasn't too bad but might be difficult if you come at a busier time. They hand make all of their syrups with real fruit and you can definitely tell! We got mango and coconut with banana ice cream and omg the syrups were so much better than every other shave ice place we've had. The consistency was a lot thicker than the usual liquid syrup which made it a lot more flavorful. The coconut syrup was almost like a cream that tasted just like haupia. The banana ice cream was also insanely good, my husband talked about how good the ice cream was the whole drive home haha. The ice was also really fine and smooth. The shop has the cutest outdoor seating in the back right along the water which was so peaceful and shady. Super high quality shave ice and chill laid back vibes. Our new favorite shave ice place for sure!

Came here on a Tuesday and was able to find parking in the lot at 2 PM. There was no line and I was…read morea little skeptical on how much I would like this spot but I am glad I went ahead and ordered. I got the North Shore sub the pineapple with Lychee and it was delicious! The shaved ice was not the smoothest and not all the ice was coated with the flavoring but I really enjoyed how the syrup did not taste artificial. The macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom was excellent! The sweet cream sweetened the shaved ice perfectly. Next time I would definitely request more of the fruit flavoring.

The best part was the finely shaved ice, piled super high with delicious(not too sweet) syrup from top to bottom! Perfect for a hot day!! The service was prompt and helpful. Order from the front window and pick up from the side. If you want fancy, expensive indoor with AC go somewhere else. Want lots of great shaved ice with a friendly little gecko greeter wandering in the parking lot give this place a try True old school Hawaii - no frills just refreshingly delicious on a hot day!!

The shave ice itself was refreshing and hit the spot, especially on a warm North Shore day. The only thing that wasn't our favorite was the mochi balls. They tasted a bit like they were store-bought and slightly artificial compared to the rest of the shave ice. Still, it's a solid option if you want good shave ice without dealing with the long wait across the street.

It was $5 for one size shaved ice (it was huge!, but they only take cash) and several different flavors to choose from. I got the coconut and my dad got the pineapple. It wasn't as finely shaved as I thought it was going to be, but the flavor was good. The gal at the counter was friendly and it wasn't all that busy at the time. There was parking out back, with a few benches to sit on across the street. 2022 #8

The management seems to also be unapologetic about running out of spoons and was insisting on giving me a flat wooden spoon to eat my rainbow shaved ice with.

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!

I always enjoy stopping by Ted's for a slice of pie when travelling back from a North Shore day…read more The chocolate haupia pie is one of my favorites along with the lilikoi cheese pie. 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.

m really disappointed with my experience at Aloha General Store. I went in to buy three magnets,…read moreand my total came out to $32. One magnet was clearly priced at $5, which seemed reasonable. The other two had no price tags, so I assumed they would be similar in price. When I was paying, the cashier was distracted and on the phone, so I wasn't clearly told my total. It wasn't until after the transaction that I realized I had been charged $32, which really caught me off guard. After that, I went back to ask for a refund, but they refused and said they only do exchanges, which is not what I wanted. I also had to speak with three different employees, and they all gave me the same answer without offering any real help. On top of that, I was charged an extra fee for using my debit card, even though there is a sign posted saying they do NOT charge extra for card payments. That felt very misleading. I feel like prices should be clearly marked, totals should be communicated clearly, and customers should be treated fairly. Please be careful when shopping here. You're better off going down the road to Aoki's North Shore Trading.
