    Mango with coconut ice cream
    gladys b.

    So happy got to try this during our stay. I wish we were able to go back. One of the best and fine shaved ice i have eaten. You can never go wrong with Fresh fruit and coconut ice cream!! A must when you're in North shore. Service is amazing friendly people. East to locate and cute place.

    Mango bingsoo

    The BEST bingsu I've ever had! Came here once before this trip and though Yelp said they were open, they were unfortunately closed. 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!

    First time stopping here and the Mango Bingsu lived up to the hype! I can see why it's the most popular item. So delicious and refreshing. The woman working was incredibly kind and welcoming. While I was eating, two families came up to me asking what it was because it looked so good. It is a bit tucked away but it's in the same area as all the other food trucks in Kahuku.

    The best sweet treat ever!!! We got there a little before they opened, there was already a line starting to form behind us. Service was pretty quick for us because we were second in line. However, even if there was a long wait for it.... It's SO worth it! Hubby and I shared the mango and mommy in law got the honey dew. The fruit is so fresh and it pairs so well with the light/creamy coconut ice cream. The servings are huge! Love this place!!!!

    Mango the best.

    This is one of the reasons we keep coming back to the islands year after year. Their Badabingsu is the perfect sweet, creamy treat--easily a top-10 "island dessert" for me. It was so good we came back twice on this trip (and honestly, having a red-eye flight home means you can squeeze one in before heading to the airport... highly recommend). The young woman who's always working when we stop in is genuinely kind and welcoming--super sweet, just like the dessert. If you're on the fence, don't be. Listen to Steve and just go.

    This was probably the best dessert we had on our entire trip! The mango was insanely sweet, and with SO much mango which I loved. There is only one lady working inside, so service may take a bit longer and sometimes the window is closed, but it is totally worth the wait. Just be patient. They are a food truck located next to Kahuku Sugar Mill where there are plenty of other food trucks too. The whole area was such a vibe!

    Sometimes closed, sometimes sold out, electricity might be off on certain days, but I still show up because this bingsu is amazingly delicious. The fruits, ice/condensed milk consistency. It all just works and please just take my monies. Melona, mango and Strawberry is my go to here.

    @fortunefoodfinds: "You MILK my dreams come true! A strawberry n' mango bingsu from Badabingsu. It's not often that I make my way out to Kahuku, but when I do, this is a must have. From the frozen shaved milk n' tasty toppings (mango is the best imo!), to the creamy coconut ice cream, this fave of mine is well worth the wait. You'll leave indulging this feeling great!" Staff: only 1 person so pls be patient Exterior: 2 picnic tables right in front Wait time: varies, 15-45mins during my visits Parking: many spaces in lot Overall comments: the perfect treat to beat the heat! One bingsu can feed 2 people. Highly recommend eating outside as the toppings can spill over, but wet wipes are available as your hands will get sticky. You'll be dreaming about this dessert bc it's that good. The texture of the shaved milk n' sweet toppings has me coming back again n' again!

    Really wanted to try this Korean style shave ice for a while now so finally made the drive to the North Shore on a Saturday. Firstly, they had a sign saying they would not open until 4pm. Check their Instagram page for updated hours! We killed some time at the Kahuku beer garden before making our way back at 3:55pm. A line of about 8 people had already formed. We placed our order for two shave ice at 4:10pm ish and were given a buzzer (which didn't work but told us which order number we were). Now the reason for three stars is that the operation is run by one woman only. She took everyone's orders who had lined up, maybe about 14 people? And then closed her window to start making the shave ice. Her sign on the front said 'closed' and she did not take it down. As we waited for our order, many groups of people walked up, saw the sign and walked away. A few asked other people around if she was open and would then patiently wait at the closed window until she popped out with a completed order. She would then take the new orders while she was at the window. A group of girls said they had shown up the day before and walked away after seeing the closed sign. We told them to wait until she popped out and they would be able to order. She is losing a lot of customers and needs to hire another person to assist her. Or come up with a better way to take orders and make orders without people not knowing if she is even open. We got our order about 50min after ordering which is a pretty long wait for two shave ice. Yes, the presentation is really pretty, the fruit was fresh tasty, the ice very soft and not too sweet and the coconut ice cream was really good! BUT considering there are other Korean style shave ice places on the island, I won't be going back.

    Nothing could stop us from trying this place out! Rain or shine we were determine to give it a try!! I must say this is one of my favorite shaved ice spots on the island. Wish they had other locations open. It's similar to Jejubing in Alamoana but I gotta say this one is in the top of my list!! The mango was perfect and the milk ice was so addicting! Let's just say we had to get a second order in cause it was so good! Expect to wait about 20-30mins tho cause they can get busy and it looks like they only have 2 people working!

    Mango (yum!)

    AN HOUR WAIT?! Good thing we came prepared -- because they open at 12 PM, we made sure to be in the area prior to. We decided to have lunch in the area and wait in the car to kill some time. If you end up coming after opening time and the wait is already long, you can easily order first and then go eat something else, that way dessert should be ready after your actual meal. We were 2nd in line so the wait wasn't too bad (considering it looks like theres only one person working?) You get a buzzer and once it goes off, your bingsu is ready The buggah is HUGE! It is practically flooding out of the bowl, which is why it's handed to you with napkins surrounding it. You can easily share it with 2-3 people. We got the Mango flavor and it was so delicious! It's not even mango season but they were so sweet and soft. The coconut ice was a different shape than I was expecting it; more crystal snow like? Does that make sense? No? I guess you'll have to go and see for yourself. But I loved every single bite and I wish I had more stomach space to try out the other fruit flavors. Kahuku is such a far drive but I know I'm coming back here the next time I'm in the area. It is worth every penny!

    Check their IG page, before driving out, so that you can ensure you're there when they're there. Free parking located in the Kahuku Sugar Mill lot. And they're located right on the outskirts closest to the parking lot. Wooden benches and restrooms are located nearby. I would suggest ordering from this place first, grabbing your buzzer, and then going to grab a savory bite to eat from a patron nearby, then finishing off with this place for dessert. It took about 1.5 hours of wait time for us to receive our 1 item. We already anticipated the long wait prior to getting here, and the cashier apologized for the wait in advance when we were ordering, so that solidified our expectations. The mango bingsu that we got was topped full of mango pieces (it's a seasonal item, and may not always be available). Walk carefully or eat quickly because there are some pieces that never made it to consumption. The milk ice at some point became bland and chalky to me, I don't know if they use powdered milk for this item? Needless to say, the two of us didn't finish it all. I wouldn't say that it was bad, but I also don't know if I would wait in line for this item again. Perhaps we were waiting for the ice to freeze for it to be made? Or the machine that they use can only move so quickly, for the amount of demand/orders being taken. Either way, it's worth a try if you're looking for something different in that area.

    Massive! Strawberry & Mango, onoz!

    It's Mother's Day! So my husband wanted to come take us here, it's kinda like Jejubing (sp?) @ Alaz. Soft textured shave ice kine & it's massive! Can be messy but it's good. I got the strawberry & he got the mango. Honestly liked the mango better! He was supposed to order melona but they didn't have :( so for sure coming next time to order it. Staff was friendly & the line was super long. It's Sunday but their sign said it opens @ 4 (maybe bc of Mother's day?), so we waited for that 30min. & Lucky thing we did bc it got super busy, there was a line and heard it was an hour wait after maybe order after #10? They give you a buzzer when your order is ready to be picked up. When I gave back my buzzer to pick up our order, I heard the cashier tell the customer an almost 2 hour wait! So this place is popular! Perfect for a hot ATI day :)

    Having had rolled ice cream before, I knew it would take a while before my order of 1 vanilla shake…read moreand 1 rolled mango would be ready. So I returned to my table in front of the steak truck to wait since the 2 tables fronting Sweet Bites had zero shade. I paid $23 cash including a tip which was about $2...I did not receive a receipt. After 8 mins I went to stand in front of the window where they couldn't miss me. And stood another 8 mins. When they started giving out orders to 2 people that came AFTER me I moved to the order window, which was closed. FINALLY after a few MORE minutes of being ignored, the guy who was rolling the ice cream came to the side door. I told him what I had ordered: a vanilla shake and a rolled mango ice cream. That's when he told me they were OUT of vanilla. So I told him I needed to ask my friend what else she'd want. Then I asked about my ice cream and he said he HADNT EVEN STARTED ON MY ORDER...even AFTER sending out the orders (plural) of people who came AFTER me. PREPOSTEROUS! Long story short, my friend didn't care for any of the flavors so I went back to cancel the shake. And since I didn't feel like waiting ANOTHER 10 mins for him to roll the ice cream, I cancelled the entire order. Here's the kicker: he gave me $19.50 back when I paid $23.00. BIGTIME RIPOFF, ADDING INSULT TO INJURY! NEVER EVER GOING BACK! Why won't this let me remove the one star? This place gets a big fat ZERO from me.

    the ice cream is good its a bit of a wait but its okay kinda steep pricing for rolled ice creamread more

I parked next to the well-known shrimp truck but when I turn my head, I saw the blue truck that was featured in Netflix. So I decided to walk over the hill unfortunately this truck closed at 2 PM for the day. Looking at the distance, I saw seven Brothers and heard a lot of good things about this burger joint. After after browsing the menu, I saw that they did have the garlic shrimp plate and decided on the combo of the garlic shrimp and garlic ahi. I also ordered a drink and and the largest size they had is a medium size at other fast food places however the very sweet counter girl did let me know that refills are free. Sister number one ordered the sandwich Sister number two ordered the regular garlic shrimp plate and my brother-in-law ordered the Seth burger. While we were able to find a table in the patio area, although they also have seating indoors available. As told by the counter girl, our meal would be delivered in about 15 minutes and it came in just under that time We all like our own dishes. The only complaint is that the regular garlic shrimp plate only head six shrimp and they were on the smaller size compared to the other garlic shrimp trucks in the area. To our surprise there was a young girl that's approached her table asking how arm you was and if we needed anything like more sauce, and we did ask her for a knife. And we thought that was a nice touch for counter, ordering and outdoor dining. I do recommend this place for burgers and the however for garlic shrimp plate I do recommend trying one of the other shrimp trucks

It's tucked inside Pounders at the PCC Hukilau Marketplace. There's no indoor seating, but there are plenty of tables scattered around outside, which makes it a nice place to hang out. The first thing you'll notice is how massive the cookies are. They come in a variety of flavors like chocolate chip, white chocolate mac nut, and s'mores, but the real star of the show (and the reason I keep coming back) is the cookie skillet. I usually go for the keiki size, which is honestly perfect for sharing. The family size is huge! The skillet itself is incredible--warm, gooey cookie with just the right balance of sweetness and a hint of salt. It's topped with a generous scoop of ice cream and your choice of sauce drizzled over the top. My go-to is the brown butter fudge. It does take about 15 minutes to prepare, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Pro tip: order it first, then take a stroll around the marketplace while it bakes. Already looking forward to my next visit!

I took a nice little walk thru, in the drizzling misty rain that so happened to be falling as soon as I stepped out from the parking lot.
