We got mango, strawberry milk, and cotton candy AND ICE CREAM OF COURSE (there's free snow cap). Holy moly all the flavors were so delicious. Cute cute cute mom and pop shop and the owners were so welcoming and wonderful. Support local ALWAYS. Will only be coming here for shaved ice and will be recommending to everyone I know and their mothers. read more

Run, don't walk to Chillest! What a great concept of serving one size only. Let's you focus on the 3 flavors you can choose with your order. To make it easier, pick Japanese grape as one of your choices. Lilikoi and mandarin orange was the other two. Each flavor stands on its own thus the dessert is not solely a sugar bomb. Sit indoors and enjoy because once you step outside, the fine ice melts before your eyes. read more

Chillest Shave Ice - Japanese grape, lilikoi and mandarin orange - Shaved Ice Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

When I heard this place was charging $6-8 for shave ice I thought they were crazy, but OMG it is absolutely worth it. Broke da mouth fr The housemade flavors are all incredible - three of us shared two shave ices (6 flavors total) there were no bad flavors, even among the ones I wouldn't usually pick. I think I need to try every housemade flavor on their menu! read more

Chillest Shave Ice - Vanilla cream and strawberry with snowcap. Simple, yet amazing! - Shaved Ice Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is my favorite Hawaiian shave ice in Oahu. The ice is so fluffy and the flavors are ridiculously good. I got the strawberry milk, mango and lilikoi, and all were amazing and handmade!

***4.5 STARS*** While our foodie group was finishing lunch, the subject of dessert came up and Auntie (aka Nadine C.) blurted out Chillest Shave Ice (CSI). I originally wanted ice cream but the business opens at 12pm and it was still 11:20am. Not wanting to wait, we all agreed on CSI. Located in Kaimuki on the corner of Waialae Ave and 8th Ave, this is the storefront that opened back in May after operating at Fishcake in Kakaako, Ten Tomorrow and craft fairs. Parking was tricky but shout out to Peter Y. who allowed us to park at his office which is a block away. To our delight, CSI was full as we arrived before noon. Initially there was only one staff serving eager patrons. He did all: took the order, collected payment and made the shave ice. It took some time for the guy to make all of our 6 shave ice to serve our group and halfway through, 2 girls came in to assist him. After snapping a few photos it was finally time to dig in. THE VERDICT: I was impressed with the fine quality of the ice and the portion is massive. You can select up to 3 flavors but I chose the Japanese grape and mango with snow cap topping. Hands down the Japanese grape was my winner. But had a bold, refined grape flavor. Amazing. The mango on the other hand, was subtle and got lost. I opted to eat all the mango first to minimize the disappointment and halfway through I saw white ice - - the mango syrup didn't sink in fully. Auntie suggested I tell the staff who poured more syrup in my bowl. I cherished the remaining Japanese grape and was sad as I took the last spoonful. I'd order the Japanese grape again in a heartbeat. It was that delicious. CSI was packed when we left. There's only one person making the shave ice so you need to be patient. It was disturbing to see two young kids continuously kick the counter while waiting for their shave ice to be made. It was not pleasant to hear that while eating and no one, staff nor their parents, disciplined them. Cash only and no tips accepted. Prices range from $6. Customize your shave ice with a selection of syrups and various topping options. What a great addition for a cool treat in the Honolulu area. I tried to bring my buddies here for dessert one evening after dinner but sadly they are only open until 6pm with the exception of Tuesdays (9pm) and Wednesdays (closed). Worthy of a drive to Kaimuki. Support local and support small businesses. read more

The best shave ice on the island, hands down. The ice is so soft and they are generous with the syrups so there's flavor all the way at the bottom too. The flavors are unique and Japanese-inspired, like Hojicha, Melona, and Kinako. The owner is super friendly and always thanks us personally. There's free parking in the back. Reminder that it's cash only. read more

After all the great reviews from fellow Yelpers, it was my turn to check this shave ice spot out. it's located on the mauka side of Waialae Ave, across the street from Veterinary Urgent Care, next to The Curb. There's a small lot behind the shop with entrance on 8th Ave. It's pretty small and I think it's a paid lot but a person there said no need at the hour we arrived. Scan the QR inside the shop to get parking free. Inside there's some seating as well as outside by the lot. So it's one size with a choice of different flavors- classic ($6) such as banana, melona, strawberry; House flavors for $7/$8- haupia, POG.... Snow Cap (condensed milk) is free. Prices are good for what you get. The ice? OMG!! It was soooo fine and soft and pillowy! And it was HUGE! Def shareable. Will be coming back to try the other flavors. Cash only BTW. read more

New trendy spot on Waialae Ave called Chillest Shave Ice . Thanks to Nadine .C for the recommendation as you can see how huge their shave ice . I ordered their Blue Vanilla, Strawberry and Coffee. I wanted Banana but they ran out so got the Coffee flavor instead . Free parking in the back of the building of Finance factors 8th Ave and Waialae. At first it was very hard to locate because they don't have a signage yet in front the their establishment. Although on the glass door they have a sign. Limited tables available and their very crowded although good for business. I'll be back in the future but definitely not on a holiday like today didn't realized until seen the crowd .

I was debating what star rating to give this new shop. Let me say thank you to Nadine C for giving us directions to find this venue. There is no signage on the street entrance. Craig T dropped us off in the parking lot in back and went to find parking since the lot was full. There's a door to enter from the parking lot. Ok let's start with the size of the Shave Ice. It was humongous. What you get for the price is worth the waiting. The owner was the only one there. Two girls came in after we got order. I had the basic pineapple and my wife had the strawberry syrup. The ice was fluffy and tasted good. I would try another flavor the next time. There is table seating for eight and counter seating for another four .Thank you Nadine for the treat and Craig for being our chauffeur. Enjoy read more

I was excited to read that there was a new shave ice place on Waialae, but bewildered when I drove past and couldn't find it. No wonder! Due to permitting difficulties they do not yet have a sign! Luckily my friend located it with her GPS and a picture of the green door from the parking lot that another reviewer posted. Parking is located around the corner from the Curb and Breadshop. This cozy little shave ice place opened 2 weeks ago just in time for the summer heat! Unlike some shave ice places where it can be complicated to figure out how to order, Chillest is pretty simple and straightforward all around. There are 3 different prices based on the flavors, I.e., classic flavors $6, house flavors (including tropical, milk and coffee and not hot hot chocolate) $7 and house flavors ( Japanese) $8. You can choose up to 3 and pay the price of your most expensive flavor. Due to my lactose intolerance, I avoided the milk and cream flavors. I was very happy with my Haupia, Matcha, and Hojicha combo which the proprietor Aaron approved of. The flavors were very authentic and not too sweet. The ice, shaved with a Taiwanese blade, was just the right texture, soft and fine! My friend got Vanilla Cream, Coffee, and Kinako Latte which were also good. Apparently they use a specially selected Kinako which they brought in from Japan. Aaron said the most popular flavor is Strawberry Milk. What sets this place apart from all the other shave ice places around town, is the Japanese flavors and its no fuss simplicity. There's only one size. Looks big but the ice just melts in your mouth. They have your basic toppings of mochi, azuki and snow cap (condensed milk). Nothing fancy, just really good Japanese Local style shave ice! Great customer service. Make sure you take cash. Will definitely recommend to friends and family! read more

First things first; this place is cash only. Alright, with that out of the way, the people who run this are some of the nicest people ever! Also, the shave ice is great! Strawberry milk, POG, and lychee all combined beautifully to hit the spot today. This place is a bit of a drive from where I usually am, but it's worth it. Highly recommended! read more

Cash only! Nicest people work there. They make their own syrups (I beljeve), and the cost of your shave ice is based on which syrups you choose. You get to choose up to 3 flavors. The amount looks big when you first see it, but the syrups and snow cap make it smaller. And it's not dense; it's very light so it's not as intimidating as it seems. Four of us shared one, and it disappeared quickly. We got POG, strawberry milk, and orange cream flavors with snow cap. They worked well together and were all super tasty. The ice texture reminds me of Taiwanese shave ice, which I love. Definitely recommend! Inside is pretty small with only a couple of tables and some bar seats. Outside has two more tables or a bench, and they have a code on their door you can scan for free parking. Parking lot is small though! read more

Small shave ice shop with some seating along the window and two tables for groups/families. A husband and wife run the store and one of their friends helps on the weekends, who are all super friendly and personable! It gives such a mom and pop vibe, especially cause they're cash only and have one big shave ice machine on the counter. They have local flavors and also more Japanese flavors like their homemade strawberry milk, kinako, and matcha. read more

Shave Ice in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii... CONGRATULATIONS to Aaron and Chillest Shave Ice on your new Brick and Mortar! I had visited Aaron about 2 years ago when he was at Fishcake in Kaka'ako... it was a challenging location because of the limited parking and the shared space. When I saw Irene M.'s review, I was so happy for Aaron! I drove over as soon as I could and parked in the shared lot behind The Curb and Finance Factors... Enter from 8th Avenue. Look for the light green door from the parking lot and enjoy the peaceful, fresh, clean, bright, air-conditioned environment with indoor seating! Service with a smile and "plenty Aloha" is so generous and kind! The two workers are friendly and efficient! For just $6 cash, we got a gigantic shave ice with 3 flavors: melona, strawberry, and pineapple! The texture is very fluffy and fine. It's delicious overall and very refreshing! The entire experience brightened my stressful day! Thank you so much, Chillest Shave Ice, for bringing happiness back to me! I'll be back!!! read more

"Chillest" is a great way to describe this local shave ice company! Owner operator Aaron Wong and family has been operating this shave ice company as a pop-up at Kaka'ako's Fishcake on Saturdays for a number of years. Prior to that, it was called Ailana Shave Ice, with locations on Kona St and Waikiki, which I remember having a smooth and fluffy shave ice at its Kona St location. Aaron and family opened Chillest on 5/17/25 in its permanent brick-and-mortar location in Kaimuki. According to Aaron, he distinguishes Chillest from other shave ice stores by his nostalgic memories of eating shave ice as a kid: * Shaping his shave ice like a mountain without a peak, instead of the typical packed ball. * Not packing it in, but instead making it light and fluffy so that the syrups permeate the ice. * Ensuring that the ice texture is super fine. Aaron also makes his own syrups as much as possible by using real fruits, e.g., strawberries, mango, papaya, coconut milk, and matcha from Japan. The shave ice comes in one size only, is shareable, and up to three flavors can be chosen. The flavors are categorized by price: $6 is for traditional syrups, $7 for house flavors that are more natural (strawberry milk is its signature flavor), and $8 for unique house flavors. I chose a classic shave ice with flavors of vanilla cream, Japanese grape, and orange cream. We enjoyed this combination. The Japanese grape was not overly sweet, and the two cream flavors took it to a higher level, like a creamsicle flavor. Yum! Generous amount for the price that hubby and I shared this shave ice. So reasonable in price as compared to other shave ice places. The towering shave ice held its shape and did not fall out of the bowl. Customer service was excellent! Aaron was the operator of the shave ice machine, assisted by his daughter, Erin. With smiles, they efficiently made our shave ice and patiently answered all my questions about which flavors go with what flavors before other customers started coming in. Nice interior to dine in, as it's clean and bright! Flavors and prices were clearly displayed on the wall. There is a counter alongside its front window that you can watch cars commuting on Waialae Ave. Or sit at its two tables to enjoy your shave ice! And there's a restroom by the back entrance. Cash only. Hours of operation are daily from 11a to 6p. Chillest is located next to the Curb Kaimuki in the former Color Lounge hair salon at the corner of Waialae and 8th Aves. Free parking is available in a private lot in the back of the store that is shared with other businesses in the complex. From the parking lot, look for a green door for the back entrance of Chillest, and they are in the process of putting up appropriate signage. Good view of the kitchen of Bread Shop next door. Congrats to Aaron and his family for its first permanent brick-and-mortar shave ice store known for its light fluffy ice flakes with natural syrups! Just in time for the hot summer months, and we shall return! read more

Thanks to my Yelp elite friends for posting this hot and new biz! Of course the fluffy shave ice photos caught my attention! After a beach day, I decided to bring my family here. It is our tradition to get shave ice after the beach, so the kids are already looking forward to it. I told them that we would try somewhere new. Parking is located in the back of the store on 8th Avenue. It is paid parking, but just scan the QR code on the back door for 1 hour of complementary parking. There are 2 tables that seat 4 and 1 bar top overlooking Waialae Ave. It is a smaller space. When we went it was packed with people. They were sold out of some flavors, but there were still lots to choose from. Staff were super super friendly. It did take a little while for them to make the shave ice since there is only one machine. However, the wait was worth it. The shave ice is a fluffy cloud! The house made syrups were the best. The kids got the regular syrup and it was sweet. I enjoyed the house made ones much more because the flavor was more muted and real. I cannot wait to go back to try other flavors! As of now, it is cash only, so be prepared. One size only, so it is worth it to share! read more

Chill out... Hot and New place in Kaimuki is finally here and it's SO cool! As I found a seat at the counter overlooking the traffic going by Waialae Ave I noticed many almost walked right by as they don't have a sign yet but when you know you know. Taking the former Color Lounge spot right next to The Curb so you already know the easy parking in the back where you can access the shop as well makes it extra sweet. The flavor choices are quite impressive and very familiar for us locals with Calpico, P.O.G and Lilikoi just to name a few and as I wait in line and trying to decide it hit me as why not go with one of my go to drink at Daily Whisk Matcha (which is where they get their matcha from) Matcha and Strawberry Milk as they all somehow pool together at one point I might as well create a drink in the end as we sip it all lol! I couldn't be more happy for their new brick and mortar store though they're still in their soft opening phase it seems many already know as the shop was completely filled knowing that it's the spot for the coolest treat filled with the friendliest family owned and run biz Keeping it in Kaimuki.

Chillest Shave Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Far and away my new favorite shave ice spot on island. Yes, i know, ive said this a bunch in the past, but this one truly is the best. I discovered them a few months back when they still had their pop up at Fishcake. As soon as I heard their brck and mortar location opened (they're stil having some sgn permitting issues so the place is a little hard to find as there's no sign out front) I knew we had to go. Their shave ice only comes in one size (huge) and starts at $6 for the "classic" flavors. Then they have their "house" flavors which go from $7-8. You can choose up to three flavors and the price of your shave ice is based off the highest priced syrup.So if you're like me and chose 2 classic flavors (Japanese Grape, and Melona) and one $7 House flavor (No So Hot Chocolate) the whole thing is $7. Snow cap is free and they can do ice cream for a $1. They also have azuki beans, but were out the day we went. Shave Ice super fine and light. Syrups are amazingly balanced and delicious. And added bonus: The owners and the workers there are all super friendly and helpful if, you're like me, make some bad choices in flavor combinations, ha. Store itself is super clean and cozy. I know they only opened a month ago and I saw some framed pictures in a corner so im assuming they're still decorating and what not, but whatever. Shave ice is great, Staff is even better. What more could you ask for? read more

Shave ice is my favorite food and I can't believe I found out about this place only a week ago! I'm obsessed and went twice already. So this place is my new fave! Ice- super soft and the perfect texture. Syrups - super quality and homemade! Not the regular sugar sweet. If you love matcha, you NEED to get their matcha! I'm also in love with the haupia, strawberry milk, not hot chocolate. You can get snow cap- condensed milk for free. I tried azuki. Was good!!! You can choose up to 3 flavors. Cost is $6-$8. If you choose some flavors in the $6 and some in $8, the cost is $8. The shave ice is huge. You can share. But if you love shave ice like me, then don't share!!!!! The ice is so light, just enjoy it all to yourself! There's a small parking lot in the back. It fills up fast. There's seating area in the shop. Customer service is great. Be ready to wait, but it's totally worth it. The space is clean and fresh. Also, it's cash only. So be prepared. Cuz I never have cash. Good thing my kid did. Oops! Lol. I think the only recommendation is to put your logo on the green backdoor from the parking, so guests can tell they're at the right spot. :) Can't wait to go back! We've been telling everyone about you!!! read more

This is an overdue review from September after the Okinawan Festival. I went to the Okinawan Festival and was reading about some of the businesses that were offering specials for that week. Chillest Shave Ice was doing a Shikuwasa flavor that I wanted to try. The owner was sooo nice and helpful with offering recommendations to pair with the Shikuwasa. We ended up going with the Hojicha - the sour Shikuwasa and mellow Hojicha paired perfectly together. The syrups used in both of these were delicious, and I loved the ice texture! The portions here are huge and wish they offered a smaller size. There's parking in the back with the entrance on 8th Ave. It was a scan to pay with an hour free. It was pretty empty when I came close to closing on a weekday. There's also a few tables inside to enjoy your shave ice. This is definitely in my top shave ice spots on the island, and I would highly recommend coming here for a sweet treat. read more

This place is FANTASTIC! I was pleasantly surprised while eating here! The shave ice is HUGE and they have a good amount of flavors and add-ons which makes this place a hit! It's a small space however it's really clean looking. The spot feels very homey even thought it's tight quarters. The people that work here are unbelievably friendly and gracious and I was so pleased with everything this place had to offer! The downsides are is that parking is limited but you can attempt to find parking elsewhere. Also this place is cash only and they only offer 1 size of shave ice. With that being said to me it doesn't really matter because of how good the shave ice is and the friendly service. If you find yourself in the area and are looking for a nice cool down or treat, this place has the lightest and most delicious shave ice around! read more
