    Blue Vanilla/Pina Colada/Lime with Condensed Milk
    Angelina L.

    My friend and I stumbled upon this food truck unexpectedly, and it actually made our day! It's at the end of some stalls selling souvenir items on Dukes Lane and on the outside of the Dukes Lane Food Hall. The lady running the truck was by herself but was so friendly and offered us samples of the different shaved ice flavors - which I had never experienced at a shaved ice place before! So, that was super helpful, and my friend and I ended up deciding on a small Blue Vanilla/Lime/Pina Colada with Condensed Milk and Mochi and a small Blue Vanilla/Cherry with Condensed Milk. I was really appreciative to try the Pina Colada flavor because it's one of my favorite flavors, but it can often come out tasting alcohol-like rather than coconut-y, which I don't prefer. These ices were DELICIOUS and super fairly priced for the portions we received! 10/10 recommend

    This business is located at the very end of the swap meet in the alley between the two buildings. It's so worth it. I've never had such an amazing shaved ice! It's so full of amazing flavor. Definitely redefined shaved ice for me haha. The two women working were so friendly and nice to talk to as well!

    Diamond Head

    I got the Diamond Head shaved ice with everything on it, it's aite. The shaved ice texture is like an in between of Matsumoto and Island Vintage so it's not so icy but not super soft (good or bad depending on your preference). The syrup was pretty sweet and there was plenty all over the ice (good or bad depending on your preference). Small scoop of vanilla ice cream under the ice (good or bad depending on your preference).

    I got the rainbow shaved snow, and it had three flavors, being blue vanilla, strawberry, and lilikoi. Topped with condensed milk, mochi, and nata de coco, it's quite a lot of dessert! Underneath the shaved ice is vanilla ice cream, and I'd recommend sharing this with one other person. It was amazing, and my server made it quickly and to order!

    Delicious shaved ice and ice cream. We went back several days in a row because it was that good! My family and I tried many of the items and all were amazing. And the customer service was excellent. Definitely would recommend!

    The location is an open air marketplace . ( next to international market) A little bit hard to find this place but we're here . Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. I ordered Matcha Mori and enjoyed it . Love the red beans add on so make it flavorful. The staff were friendly and made it with care . Not many places to seat , we all just keep walking around the market to enjoyed yummy dessert with so many things to looked at .

    This is right behind the Hyatt building as a part of the open air market. An unassuming storefront offering some amazing shave ice! There was only one guy working there trying his best to make all the shave ice to order - kudos to him! This makes the wait a little longer if you order after a bigger group (oops sorry!) but with the wait! They have a few combos you can choose from that include all the flavors and toppings and even a caffeinated one! Or you can make your own bowl small or large up to 2 flavors. I like they that don't drown your packed soft shave ice with syrup like Matsumoto's so it's feels light and hits the spot. Although it is slightly more pricier but we enjoyed our shave ice adventure on the last night in Oahu. Come support this local business and then browse the market!

    The hat they sell there
    Hristos K.

    Shaved ice is a popular treat in Hawaii, so I had to try it. The first time I had some, it was from a convenience store and had the feeling of getting gas station sushi, so I figured I had to try again from somewhere that looked like a more dedicated to the desert place. So we came here. Shaved ice alone doesn't feel like it would be a great dessert, but here they add some ice cream at the bottom and some mochi balls, and that makes it feel like a worthy treat. We even asked about these coins they sell at the counter, and the person in charge of the booth came out to demonstrate the other uses for them (other than just wearing it around your neck that is), so we ended up getting 2 of them, instead of just the one we were planning on. Then later we went back just to get one of the hats they sold there because the shaved ice was great but the service was even better. Not many places to sit around here, but shaved ice in a bowl is a dessert you can get and just keep walking around and browsing the market there. We have a few more days here in Hawaii so I feel we will be going back at least once.

    Lack of flavor. Wasn't tasty at all. Just tasted watery. It's hidden in an alley so it was a little confusing to find at first.

    Storefront
    Vincent N.

    Nice little stall in a shopping alleyway, awesome find here! From the menu, there's so much to choose from...we settled for the #1 Duke's Rainbow. So much flavor from the different syrup flavors - along with the mochi, jelly, & condensed milk that is also in the shave ice! Easily feeds 2 people Hidden gem, find this place and you'll be rewarded!

    Strawberry Lava
    Jina K.

    My sister and I were looking for shaved ice that was the perfect icy texture, and this place nailed it! We got the Strawberry Lava which came with strawberry and pineapple flavor, vanilla ice cream in the middle, condensed milk on top, mochi, and coconut jelly. The service was very quick, and the stand had a bench to sit down in front. This was probably the best shaved ice I had and my favorite from this trip! We devoured this in the rain so quick, and I highly recommend coming here for shave ice!

    Caffeinated shave ice! Its called the Heisen-blue

    Shave ice was ok. Melted very quick, syrup is a bit too sweet and not a fan of those little mochi balls.

On the way back to the car we saw it again and decided to try the Strawberry Bingsu. Our party shared the bowl and loved it so much we decided to also try the Mango Bingsu. It was the perfect amount of fruits and sweetness to cool us down in the muggy afternoon weather. Good service. Clean dining area. Cute decor. Wish we had more time to try other desserts but we will definitely visit again when we're back in town!

    Good: Ordering is easy using a kiosk which provided clear instructions to the user. Quick service,…read moreeven near closing. At 8:30 pm, the place was packed, which is a great sign. Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

The good news is that it moves pretty quickly. The wait really begins after you place your order. This location is incredibly busy from open to close, especially in the mornings. I visited several times during my week in Waikiki, and every morning it was consistently packed. I waited anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes for our food and coffee each visit. Also, be aware that the coffee and food are brought out separately, so don't expect everything to arrive at the same time. The space itself could really use a remodel. Since it's both a café and a retail shop, there's very little room for customers waiting on orders. It gets extremely crowded, making it difficult to find a comfortable place to stand while you wait. Despite the wait and the cramped space, the quality of the food and coffee keeps me coming back. If you have a little patience, it's definitely worth it.
