I had a simple short board (small) shaved ice with strawberry colada syrup. The ice was perfectly snowy, not hard and crunchy. The syrup had serious flavor and was very satisfying.

We found this Hokulia 7 years ago, and it became a staple for a family. Lenexa restricts this sort…read moreof structure from being available for more than a set amount of time, so we went at least 4 times a week if not more. It was fun - the shaved ice was the best, the staff were incredible and the atmosphere was just fun. I have so many great memories of those days! There was fun music, hula hoops, etc. At the time, it was run by a local family. When their kids went off to college, the family sold it to the person/group who was building the brick and mortar store off of College and Lone Elm in Olathe. Up until that point, this was a 10 star experience. Since that transition, this location has proven time and time again to not be the priority of the owner. The shaved ice is fine, so no change there. ** This location is never open. This year, they modified their open times per their Instagram. I wouldn't be upset with it if they didn't close for any sort of weather. As a trailer, this location isn't safe for staff when it's storming. I respect that. However, they close this location for anything. It could sprinkle at 9 AM with no rain expected for the rest of the day, and they'll close for the day. There have been so many instances when it was sunny and hot after a brief sprinkle or storm in the morning well before the location opens, but this location would still be closed due to weather. Fun fact: This location was open for 38 days thus far in 2023 when accounting for scheduled closures. Of those 38 days, this location was closed nearly 20% of the time due to weather, technical or unknown issues. Questions left on Instagram posts are removed too if you ask about why they're closed. No snark. No anger. Just a simple question. ** This location isn't a priority to the owners. It's clear. In 2021 or 2022 (can't recall right now), they ran out of ice a few times. The good news is that they don't fill it up with hoses in back like other shaved ice places in the area, but remember they have a brick and mortar store. When we asked them why couldn't use that ice, they said it wasn't possible. The brick and mortar store is obviously their priority, and this location isn't. The reality about this location is that the inconsistency keeps crowds away. For years, this location would have long lines for shaved ice. Everyone wanted some of this sweet treat. We would save our points all summer and spend them all during those last few days to give others free shaved ice. These days this location is rarely busy. We stopped going because it was impossible to tell when it would be open, and it looks like others have felt the same way. I have to wonder at what point does the operating cost outweigh running this location again.

I got the shaved ice cream here! Matcha flavor…read more First off I will say you should bring at least 1 other person here. Don't be like me and come alone! This is a huge portion of ice cream. You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

How the HECK did Shaved Ice Cream escape my extremely powerful radar for all things-dessert??…read more Wow - this was such a fun experience, and a new (to me/us) take on an old dessert! Our family came here for a birthday celebration afternoon to enjoy some sweet treats! The attendant at the counter helped us with numerous questions ranging from "What IS shaved ice cream?" to best sellers, and how much to order! We settled on a couple shaved ice creams to share (although they have many other desserts and drinks, too!), which was more than enough for our family of four, and a great way to try a couple different options! They serve the shaved ice cream in a generous-sized metal bowl, on a large metal tray, and thank goodness for this, as things can get a little messy! We absolutely loved both of our selections - Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Oreo! They have plenty of seating in a super-cute setting! Up front are some comfy chairs around a coffee table, and the rest of the space is full of normal restaurant-style tables and chairs! While not exactly cheap, I would say that the pricing is fair, for a novel dessert experience! ...at least for the shaved ice cream. This will be a fun place to surprise un-knowing folks with a fun, different approach to icy-cold dessert! Food = 4/5 Facility = 4/5 Service = 4/5 Ambiance = 4/5 Value = 3/5

There is also plenty of seating in the space, and it seems to be kept clean. My friends and I always make sure to get a bingsu and at least one other dessert, we especially love the taiyaki! I would definitely recommend sharing a bingsu, as it is pretty large to eat by yourself. Additionally, they have a wide array of offerings on the menu, and plenty from drinks to ice cream and other desserts.

Grease, Grease, and more Grease!…read more My husband suggested this place, and I was excited. Who doesn't love a Funnel Cake? Plus, I didn't have to wait for a vendor to come to downtown OP! However, the Funnel Cake was hard and not packaged well. I took a small bite and was done immediately. I inspected the bottom of the Funnel Cake, trying to figure out why it wasn't tearing easily like a light, fluffy one. My suggestion is that if a Funnel Cake is taken from hot grease and packaged in styrofoam, some holes should be poked in it. The powdered sugar will come wet and sweaty, and the holes will help it dry out.
