    This iconic hole in the wall place what i just noticed. I drove by here a lot and i finally gave it a try. It's def a cool hole in the wall. The service is great and fast. The owner is an elderly Japanese man who makes the shaved ice super expedient. The shaved ice is reasonably priced and cheap. I like this place better than Matsumoto and all the touristy spots. I def would come here again.

    Easy to get to in Ewa Beach, easy parking since it's located in a shopping plaza. Small store but they have good shaved ice and so many flavors to choose from. I ordered the tigers blood and cherry which was yum. Seemed pretty inexpensive compared to other places. They also have add-ins like ice cream, condensed milk etc. - I didn't try it but others in my party seemed to like it.

    Ewa Seed Company is a classic crack seed shop that is so unique to Hawaii. From shave ice, lemon peel snacks, and li hing mui everything- Ewa Seed Company has the goods to bring you back to the good ole days. Over the many years of me coming here, I haven't tried all of the flavor combinations, but I'm sure I'm close. Here are some of my favorite flavors offered here: Haupia Guava POG Lilikoi Lychee Melona (sugar free) Ube What I really love about the shave ice here is 1) the quality of ice and how fine they shave the ice and 2) that they put a layer of syrup half way through the ice and top it again with syrup on top. Here are some of my favorite add-ons to top of your shave ice: Snow cap/ condensed milk Li Hing Mui Ube ice cream, and they actually put the ice cream in the middle of the shave ice. I started coming here my freshmen year of high school. My dad would take me to get shave ice after sports practice and it was always the best treat. The previous owner, Dean, would always remember us and we had the best conversations. For that, thank you Ewa Seed Company for being a pillar in our community and keeping the crack seed store nostalgia alive on the west side.

    Hands down THE BEST shave ice on O'ahu! Forget all the other names you've heard of. There's no need to go to the North Shore to get bomb ass shave ice! Come here and visit Uncle Ben at Ewa Seed Company in Ewa Beach! I recently returned home for a little RnR before Thanksgiving and had to pay Uncle a quick visit. I would frequent his shop while living on island from 2012-2015. He is the sweetest and the portions he serves gives you so much for your money! He has a whole list of flavors and also offers other goodies in his shop. Some things you'll find are various li hing mui items, gummy candies, chips, drinks and novelty items too. I'm not sure if it's his ice shaving machine that's different from all the rest but OMG it makes the ice so fluffy and perfect! I hate getting shave ice and trying to scoop it out with a spoon only to be disappointed when the top falls off because it's ROCK HARD!! Lol! You won't have that problem here, TRUST!! I usually get a child size or small and even that's big to me, hahaha! You can choose up to 3 flavors and add vanilla ice cream and mochi for a small fee. I always do because it's so yummy!! The mochi stays soft too! If you ever find yourself on the west side of O'ahu, you owe it to yourself to try this place out! Ample parking available in the shopping center and you'll always be treated with aloha here. =) Pricing is great as most other places cost more. Stop by, support this local small business and tell Uncle Ben I said ALOOOOHAAAAA!!! ;)

    Stopped in for our last shave ice fix before flying back to NYC later that day. I got the guava and the dreamsicle, which I assume is like an orange creamsicle but I wasn't getting any of the cream flavor. It tasted more like tangerine, which I didn't love. The guava was good though. Texture of the ice was also good. My sis and hubby both got mochi balls but that wasn't good. It ended up melding into one giant ball for some reason, so I would skip it. After we ate our shave ice, we went back in to order a medium one to take home to my BIL. They live about a two minute drive away so some of it melted, expectedly so. But the guy asked if we were taking it to go and when we said yes, he gave us a large one at no extra charge. So nice of him! It's a small store but they sell other things like snacks and candy. It's also located in the same lot as Foodland and CVS, so there is plenty of parking.

    Love the hole in the wall! Really good shave ice and cool assortment of dried and pickled items.

    Every time I come back to Hawai'i, I always stop here for some shave ice and I always get a medium with li hing mui and pickled mango syrup. It's the only the only place I've ever seen this flavor and it's so delicious & refreshing. The medium is a perfect size for me and only three bucks with some change, it's a good bang for your buck. They have a few sugar free flavors too which are also tasty. Uncle who runs the shop is always super friendly. He always offers me a punch card even though I'm never home long enough to get it filled out and I lose it before my next trip. They have a decent collection of crack seed and candy but really I just go for the shave ice.

    New ownership. Quality went way down, nowhere near as good as it used to be. Won't be coming back.

    Lots of crack seed! Tasty treats packed nicely with reasonable prices. Fast in & out and this my favorite shave ice around Ewa. Taste heavenly!! We love how they have small sizes available or the flower cups. They even give punch cards! There's also small toys, Valentine's Day gifts & an ice cream freezer.

    I would rate the experience and the shaved ice a 10/10. It for sure has a neighborhood feel. It is a small shop with a lot of character. The people there were really friendly and welcoming. I for sure will come back when I'm in the area!

    To me Ewa Seed is better than the bigger, more popular shave ice places. Other places don't seem as flavorful, his are perfect!
