    Kihei Sunrise YUM
    Rob B.

    Fantastic! The ice flake is outstanding as are the curated combos! The Kihei Sunrise is primo! I added some lilikoi bobas. They are small I almost missed but just outstanding! Total must visit!

    First time visiting and it was amazing and what you'd expect when your in Hawaii. Was greeted with a warm aloha! She didn't speak much but was very nice. The shave ice flavors were just the right amount of sweet and sour. The music being played was local island music and relaxing. Pleasantly located across the street from the beach and right next door to the ABC store.

    Excellent shaved ice. We loved the flavor options. We're repeat customers and look forward to coming back!

    This shave ice melted perfectly in the mouth! The flavor was rich and did not taste super artificial. The spot is next to a gas station. The days we went there was no line and we got our shave ice quickly. There is indoor seating available but the space is small. The staff was kind and provided us a punch card.

    The gal behind the counter was so sweet and friendly She recognized my friend and offered her a punch card with a few extra punches because she wasn't offered her one the last time she was in. We ordered 2 Rainbow shave ice and let me tell you, the portions were generous! Every bite was creamy, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth-pillowy goodness. It was like eating cotton candy fluffy Ian's frosty clouds. We will definitely return.

    Stopped by Da Kine Shave Ice for a quick frozen treat -- even though I was still feeling pretty full from lunch, I couldn't resist. I went with a kid-size (perfect portion) and mixed banana, blue vanilla, and dreamsicle flavors with a snow cap on top. Sweet, refreshing, and just the right size to hit the spot without overdoing it. The stand is tucked off the road, attached to the side of a gas station, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. While I wouldn't call it the best shave ice on the strip, it's a solid option if you're nearby and in need of a cooldown. Great little pit stop within walking distance.

    Was less than a mile from where we were staying, and it wasn't too busy, which was really nice. We got we got the lava flow and Kihei Sunset. The ice was so finally shaving. It was really good and there was a lot of syrup in sauce on top. The decor was also nice and colorful and fair amount of seating inside and out. We got two regulars for two adults at the toddler and that was a little bit much next time you might do one regular and one kid size. Definitely gonna be going here multiple times during our visit.

    My husband and I enjoyed our shave ice from Da Kine! The employees were super friendly and informative about shave ice and the flavors, and we enjoyed getting to eat our shave ice in the nice AC. We built our own and both got the kids size, which was plenty for us. Some of our flavors included guava, lilikoi, lychee, coconut, and shark blood - all of which were delicious and applied with just the right amount. We'll definitely be back the next time we're here in Maui!

    This place is right across the street from the beach in a space that also has a gas station. The parking lot is small and crowded. The line was long and was by far the place that took the longest to serve the shaved ice. The wait is long and there is no bathroom. About $7 for a small with three flavors prices go up from there.

    Loved the vibes of this shave ice spot. Very colorful inside with a robust menu of shave ice flavor options. Took awhile to get our 4 shave ice but they only had one person working so I definitely give them a pass there! The shave ice hit the spot on a warm day but we definitely had better while in Maui. Was nice of them to give us a stamp rewards card with an extra stamp :) We left it for our next Airbnb guest to enjoy a free shave ice!

    The picture shows you what we chose. We ordered  3 regular, 1 large, 1 small.

    We love coming here after spending the day at the beach. It's a little extra treat for us before driving home upcountry. The ice is like soft ice flakes, the flavors are yummy. The 3 size options are nice too. The girls, are always so friendly and actually remember us. It's the one stop shopping center where you can get gas, shop at the ABC store, rent some snorkel gear and grab a shave ice...and it's all walking distance from the beach which is directly across the street. You can't go wrong...why not grab a shave ice and walk across the street to watch the sunset...sounds like an epic time to me!!!

    Jaws Shave Combo that is banana, blue Hawaii, pina colada, has coconut ice cream and a coconut sauce on top.
    Chelsey H.

    The space was really fun and reminded me of being a kid. They had really awesome flavour combinations, and unique flavoured ideas. I was really excited about having coconut ice cream in my shave ice as well. We got the jaws combination and the ice was a great texture and it looked massive. I think we arrived just as someone might've been heading out on a break so the weight was a little bit, but the guy who helped us with super friendly and would definitely recommend anyone in the area to come to Da Kine and get their shave ice!

    Roy rogers shaved ice
    Marissa T.

    Let me tell you right now: the Roy Rogers shaved ice from Da Kine Shave Ice is not playing around. This thing pulled up with cherry, cola, whipped cream, and a gummy lime on top like it knew it was the star of the show -- and it absolutely was. The texture of the ice? Fluffy perfection. Not chunky, not slushy -- just that perfect melt-in-your-mouth softness that proves these folks know their craft. The cherry + cola combo had me feeling like I was sipping an old-school soda float, except somehow better because it was cold, massive, and came in a cute cup. Whipped cream on top was a dreamy touch (not too sweet, just right), and the little gummy lime? A whole moment. Cute, tasty, and a lil' zesty flair for the win. 10/10 would demolish again. If you're in the area and not getting one of these, what are you doing??

The shave ice itself was incredibly smooth and finely shaved. However, a few details felt a bit lacking: Even after paying extra for a snow cap, they barely added any of the topping. Additionally, the shave ice could have used a bit more syrup. While they do have a sign saying you can return to the window for extra syrup, nobody actually wants to squeeze back up to the front when there is already a many people waiting. They play great, upbeat music over a loudspeaker for the vibe, but because the music is loud and you have to pick up from the window, it's really hard to hear when they call out names. Everyone ends up crowding around the window, constantly double-checking if their order was the one called. There are very few tables available compared to the crowd of people ordering, so they could definitely stand to add a few more seats. Overall, the quality of the shave ice texture is excellent, but the experience would be much better with a smoother pickup process, better portioning on premium toppings, and a few more spots to sit and enjoy!

I had to take both my daughters Rainbow ice back to get more syrup for the middle. The girl was honestly rude and finally said she'll give me additional syrup in a cup to pour in the middle. She then told me I should've mashed it all up in order to get the flavor to the middle. I know y'all have got to be kidding me. We were wasting ice everywhere just to stir it up. Also, had to wait a while to eat it and it was melting just to mix it together. Soooo many other tables got their orders and were confused as to why its white in the middle. I hope they posted reviews also. I went around and explained what she told me and they felt it was pretty dumb and cheap for the company to do this to customers. We pay way too much in Maui for cheap outs with restaurants. Try adding a little ice then flavor then stack again with a little ice then flavor, so that customers can get what they pay for.

This food truck is actually an old school VW bus painted in white and blue. The line was about 10 people deep when I got there, even though it was around 7:30 and he was closing in about half an hour. After looking over the menu and seeing some wild options like birthday cake and gummy bear, I ultimately decided to go with an Ono Hua, or shaved fruit. For my shave ice I went with a regular size and chose POG as my flavor. Since it was shaved fruit, he had to switch from the regular ice to one that already had the fruit in it. Once he finished making it, he asked if I wanted a sweetener on top and I chose the coconut. As soon as I walked away I took my first bite and wow was it good. The POG flavor was legit and while the lilikoi dominated, that is exactly what I like. I loved the sharpness from the passion fruit and how the real fruit flavors were allowed to shine. The ice itself was super fluffy and light which made it even better. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I really loved this shave ice and can't wait to bring my wife the next time we are in Maui.

Reef is located in a parking lot and the truck is vibrant and inviting, beautifully decorated with lush green plants, making it super photo friendly. The ordering process is simple. You choose your base, pick the fruit you want blended in, and they make it fresh right in front of you. You can enjoy it in either a cone or a cup. There are a couple of picnic tables behind the truck that can comfortably seat about 10-12 people, which was nice for our family to sit and enjoy our treats together in the shade. Our only suggestion would be to add some shade for guests waiting in line. It gets pretty hot standing in direct sunlight, especially when there's a longer wait.

I was going to go modest with 1 fruit but decided on the 3 fruit combo of Strawberry, Mango and Banana and it was a nice swirl of fruits and the coconut base and I think best enjoyed in the crispy Waffle Cone. I'm a sprinkle addict (a go to on my ice cream since childhood lol) so that was lacking for me but I noticed you can add various toppings like Oreos, Honey, Granola, Waffle cone crumbles, etc. I tried my friend's fruit choices and they were delicious! The Pineapple with Coconut Base tasted like a Dole Whip, the Banana was light and creamy and the Strawberry and Mango (which was close to mine) was delicious as well. They have outdoor seating in the back with a little bit of shade. The last time I came with a friend was evening when it was cooler but the ice cream definitely hit during the day and was refreshing for sure.

Make sure to NEVER ask in person. You have to call in. - And they only offer whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies The verdict: - minus 2 stars for the rude girl who yelled at my mom - minus 1 star for only having whole pies and not slices for sugar free pies, even though they only have 3 flavors to choose from... Such a shame to have people like that working at a place that serves such a good product.
