Frost city moved to a new location on King street. We were able to find parking in the back of the building. We ordered 4 different types of shave ice desserts. They were all very delicious. We enjoyed dine-in in this new location. read more

It feels like I have been for a year for the reopening. Their new location is slightly easy to miss, the parking in the back can be extremely full, and the grand reopening line can vary. When I arrived, 2 tables were still open, and there wasn't a line. A short time after ordering, every table was full, and there were at least 30 people in line/waiting. I got my favorite combo frost and watched the spectacle of Frost City customers. Lychee Watermelon Combo Frost- 9/10. It's one of my favorites of all time. It's nice and has a great light flavor while being fluffy. Today's fruits were pineapple and cantaloupe with mochi. It was a refreshing end of the day treat. I'm glad they reopened and I hope their old customers visit them soon! read more

Their shaved snow is incredibly light with lots of flavor. The mango one is especially good. Each order comes with small bits of mochi and a little fruit. Perfect for hot weather but good any time. read more

Dropped by for late night shaved ice. The portions are plentiful with nicely flavored sauces and fresh fruit accompaniment. Not a large shop so there may not be seating available, should be prepared to take it to go. Service is fast foodish but acceptable given the type of food. read more

My family loves coming here for their Asian inspired shave ice! We always get the Thai tea and green tea flavor- both flavors really come through and not too sweet at all. Opens late as well, lots of other dessert places close early. read more

I can't say enough good things about this place! The shave ice is unbelievably smooth -- not chunky or icy like some other spots -- and they load it up with just the right amount of syrup so every bite is flavorful without being too sweet. The toppings are super fresh, and the variety is amazing (I highly recommend adding mochi and condensed milk!). Their bubble tea is just as impressive -- perfectly chewy boba pearls, not too soft or too hard, and the drinks are balanced and refreshing. You can taste that they use quality ingredients. The shop itself is bright and welcoming, and the staff are friendly and patient when you're deciding between all the great options. It's the kind of place that makes you want to come back just to try something new every time. If you love desserts, this is a must-visit spot! read more

We love the fluffy shaved ice. We ordered the black sesame, cookies and cream, strawberry & mango, and Thai Tea. It's just right amount of sweet. The dining area is clean and spacious. Good service. What I also love about this location is free parking in the back of the building. read more

New location on king st! Ice cream style shaved ice. Yummy light and refreshing. Definitely doesn't hit the spot if you're craving something heavier like a sundae or something but they do have unique flavors. They have limited seating inside and I was surprised how busy they got while we were eating there. Service is friendly and helpful. Parking located in the back if the building next to Panda Express. read more

The shave ice was good and milky, I like how it melted in your mouth. However, we just had a weird interaction with the service because the worker came by and asked how we were doing, we said good, and then she cleared our table and our shave ice, even though we weren't finished yet... she didn't even ask if we were done, she just threw out our food without asking. read more

This place is very cute but the best part is the actual frosty! They are the lightest Ive ever had. We enjoyed the thai tea and green matcha and it was SO good. Had the right amount of sweetness and we didn't think we could finish it, but after having spoonfuls of goodness, it was hard NOT to finish it! Even made us want more. WOW! This is def a must try. Very happy found this on Yelp and they are open later than others so worked out well. read more

Intense and delicate... It's a Frost and I can see why...this isn't shave ice as the process of adding the flavor into the ice versus topping it with syrup is on another level. This little place I'm sure most know is in Mo'ili'ili and is a fair decent sized place with several tables in a cool air conditioned room help keep me cool in this heat (85o today) offering me a place to enjoy my frost before it melts into a sticky mess is a choice I'd prefer. I got the small Green Tea for $5.95 which they ask if it's for here or Togo and chose to stay which was plated up so beautifully with chunks of fresh fruits (watermelon and pineapples) and little mochi balls drizzled with condensed milk, each refreshing bite cooled down my exhaust...aaaaahhhh! The owners are quiet folks and are a delight keeping busy on this mellow Halloween day which turns out be a cool treat. Thank you! read more

We went into Frostcity late one night on a whim (we literally just typed "dessert" into Google Maps and went to the closest place) but we ended up really loving it! First off, Frostcity has a variety of Asian dessert options on the menu: - Smoothies/boba - Traditional dessert soups - "Frost" snow ice The "frost" ice shave are their specialty. Super airy, thinly shaved, cream ice, that piles up like a tower on your plate. When it's on your spoon, it almost feels weightless, and when you put it in your mouth, it quickly disappears and you want another bite! My mom ordered the coconut, which tasted like a lightly-sweet coconut cream and didn't taste artificial (I usually don't like coconut-flavored things). I ordered the cookies and cream, which I was initially skeptical about because it just looked like vanilla ice with cookie crumbles tossed on top, but then I tasted it and realized that they'd layered more cookies inside. Each dish came with a couple of fruit and chichidango mochi on the side. My mom's teeth are sensitive to cold, and she said that the frost ice shave was so airy that it didn't hurt her teeth like regular ice cream. My friend ordered the walnut soup with taro balls. Savory sweet, warm, and delicious! Dessert soups aren't really my thing, but these will be super nostalgic for anyone who grew up eating these in places like Taiwan. Seating is very limited inside (only around 3 tables of 4 and one larger table that seats around 8) so it's not really a "hang out and do your homework all day" kind of cafe. If you're bringing a big group and the big table is taken, you might have to take your dessert to go. read more

Frostcity - Small frost, Cookies & cream flavor - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We discovered Frostcity the last time we visited Honolulu (at their old location) and had been dreaming about their delicious snow dessert ever since. We had the Lychee & Watermelon snow dessert one day and the Black Sesame and Coconut snow dessert on another day. The Lychee & Watermelon one is very refreshing and light, perfect on a warm day. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Lychee flavor is subtle compared to the Watermelon but you can taste it. The Black Sesame was a bit overpowering compared to the Coconut flavor but it was still delicious. It's not a visually appealing dessert since it looks like dirty snow, but it sure tasted good. We didn't try any of the other drinks or desserts so I can't comment but they do a terrific job on the snow desserts. I'm not a big fan of sno cones or shave ice but the snow desserts are not as sweet and just fluffy and fun to eat! read more

Came after dinner and got Mud pie and strawberry mango. It's made differently than shave ice, the ice is flavored then shaved so there's no real sauce like shave ice. I think I liked the Mid Pie better maybe because it had a chocolate drizzle. The strawberry mango was good but not as flavorful as shave ice. Just a totally different product. I liked that it came with fresh fruit and mochi which adds a lot to it. It's a nice dessert alternative to shave ice, as most shave ice places are closed after dinner. I think I want to try the haupia or haupia chocolate next time. They have their own parking lot and service was friendly. read more

Frostcity is a great casual spot to satisfy your dessert craving! I like how eating their frosts feels light compared to eating ice cream. I got their small strawberry frost and it was nice and sweet. I enjoyed the fruit and mochi toppings it came with as well. There's a good amount of seating but looks like it can get crowded during peak hours. The worker who helped us was very friendly and quick! This is the perfect place if you want something not too heavy for dessert! read more

Frostcity - Small strawberry frost - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We were regulars (at least when we visited Oahu) at the old location by Puck's Alley--they moved to a bit larger and a bit more accessible location further down King's street closer towards Ala Moana. The desert is very unique--I much prefer the shaved fruit-juice over traditional shaved ice, as the flavor is embedded into every bite, and the texture is more creamy and ice-cream like rather than being "ice". I don't know what the calorie count is, but it's probably a good bit less than a cream based confection like ice cream or gelato, but still retains the cream-y texture--win-win! read more

Frostcity just reopened at their new location two weeks ago. 1517 South King Street right after Pandas Express, right before Kalakaua Ave. This place is too small, when we left, people were lined up outside of the door. Parking in the back of the building is tight, and slightly sloped. I suggest dropping grandma off before parking. Their snow-ice is still the best in town because it's made with real fruit and is so light and fluffy that it immediately melts when it touches your tongue - just like snowflakes. read more

I was surprised when friends visiting from Chicago who went last night said they wanted to go again. The young ones liked it so much they said they could eat there every night! It's been a while since I've been and I was surprised at how crowded they were at 9:30 pm. It was so busy we had to wait for parking to open up in their little lot. This Taiwanese style shave ice is a lovely melt in your sensation quite different from what we normally know as shave ice in Hawaii. With its natural fruit flavors, it has just the right amount of sweetness so you can keep eating and eating it without feeling full or over sugared. Love the selection of both traditonal and more "interesting" flavors including durian ! You can order single or combo flavors. It comes with diced fruit, mochi, and little juice balls depending on which flavor you order. There are some nondairy options too. We got the lilikoi which was nice and just slightly tart in a good way. Refreshing! I also sampled someone else's mud pie which was an ORGASMIC marriage of coffee ice with chocolate crumbles on top! Mmmmmm!!!! (Oops! Forgot to photograph) I wasn't as excited about the Thai tea another friebd had. Prices are a little more reasonable than Jejubing which is more trendy and cool. The atmosphere here is more neighborhood comfy. They also stay open late! Can't wait to return try more things including non shave ice items on the menu! read more

Frostcity - Lychee watermelon - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I ordered a Durian shaved ice that came with a few pineapple slices and grapes and mochi squares. Reading their menu I thought these petite desserts were like $5 each but were actually $13. It was very good - but wickedly overpriced, - the grapes were fresh and pineapple was recently prepared. The durian flavor was nice, not overwhelming. The staff looked scared but were friendly. I would recommend if you are going to sell ice, not even ice cream, you charge a little less. Otherwise going Jejubing seems like a better bargain for a similar product and their prices are reasonable based on the depth of their dessert and its presentation. Frostcity is a bit amateurish for a price that is higher than Ala mona. read more

Always a fan of frost city. Delicious. Staff always friendly. Good portions. Great pricing. Clean.

Soooo refreshing!!! Melts in your mouth not on your plate! Fast service with air conditioning inside. And there's parking in the back. Must try this addicting dessert! read more

Favorite bingsu on the island! Never any freezer burn. Our favorite is the green tea and Thai tea flavors.

Didn't feel like eating dinner and just wanted something cold and fresh when to Jamba Juice, but even though the hours posted say close at 9:00 pm they Ala Moana location was already closed at 8:30 pm? So most smoothie place close except Frostcity which opens until 10:00 pm on weekday and 11:00 pm on weekends, When we got there there were about 6 tables open, but as we were there it was full and customers were still coming in! They are located in the University area in Moilili area and they have parking in front of their outlet. My wife had the chocolate boaba smoothie which she enjoyed very much and I had the orange dream smoothie! Both was very good and delicious Restrooms are just outside and conveniently located men's and women's restrooms. read more

Woahhh Frostcity's took me on an International journey back to Taiwan! There were so many wonderful flavors to choose from. We got three bingsas (aka party in yo mouth)~ strawberry and mango, cookies n cream and durian! The bingsa had a wonderful texture; super soft and fluffy. Each bite puts an instant smile on your face. We also tried the taro and sweet potato balls with milk tea which was my favorite dessert when we went to Taiwan. The taro and sweet potato balls has a similar texture as mochi and worked well with the cold grass jelly. Don't let the outside fool you, it might look small but theres plenty of seating inside. There was no wait when we got there and our desserts came out super fast. Bring your friends and little ones, the portions are great and plenty to share~ although you might want the whole thing to yourself :). read more

Frostcity - PB and chocolate! - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

First Time. So far, sooooooo goooooood! Prices little less than expected. Similar to Shave Ice prices and good size too. I had the Cookies n'Cream and tried some of the Strawberry and Chocolate. Cookies n'Cream in my opinion was easily better, but, both was good. And both came with pieces of Mochi, Melon and Pineapple. They even have Boba Drinks too. Update: Sorry, never really like do one long review last time but, heres an updated one. Guess what? I went back the next night! Ok, so first thing I wanted to say is the name alone makes me like this place. Frost City. Sounds like a city in like a comic book or something. When I was a kid, I wanted to be Superman by the way. Anyway, this place... wow! Can't believe I never try this place til the other night. And was just because never have any Boba places open. So happy I did though. This place was so good, I went back the very next night. In the pics are the Cookies n' Cream, Strawberry Chocolate, Banana, Nutella, and the Chocolate. My favorite I think was the Cookies n' Cream. The Banana was surprisingly super good too. Wasn't sure how it would be but yeah, was really good. If you never tried here, it's kinda like shaved ice, but not. It's like, instead of having a block of ice and shaving it and then puoring the flavor on it. They actually freeze a block of that particular flavor then shave it down. My niece said the look of the Nutella one looked like shredded turkey. Lol. Oh, and they come with pieces of Mochi and fruit. Their Mochi is ono too. The 2 times we went, was Kinda crowded and had to wait for about 20 minutes for seats. The place not that big too. Probably seating for about 20+. But can always do take out too. And and and, they get drinks too. Go check them out!!! read more

Frost city has been around for a long time, however, we only recently been introduced to it by a friend. May I say that we are regulars now, yes, we go almost every week for a treat. My kids love their snow ice, which melts in your mouth! The mango strawberry or watermelon lychee are kid's favorite. My husband and I absolutely loved black sesame. I'm addition to snow ice, they also have traditional Taiwanese hot desserts like taro balls, walnut soup and black sesame soup. Staffs are friendly and they sanitized after each guests usage of the tables. read more

Usually I would hear how this place can get crowded, but went in at a good time as it was empty! Weekday right after work. Ordered the strawberry frost and it did not disappoint. Im always hesitant about fruit flavors tasting like chemicals. This definitely did not. Light, fluffy, and filling. Tasted like it was straight from the fruit which I appreciate. So good. The fresh fruit and mochi that comes with it is the perfect compliment to it. Next time I come back, I need to add more mochi :) Since no one customers were in the shop, the environment was chill. There are signs that say to limit stay to 90 minutes though. Cant wait to try other flavors! read more

Yumm!!! This place is open late which is perfect for those late night cravings. I ordered the mango strawberry with Mochi and melon. The texture is to die for. It's like snow. It was sooooo good. I will definitely be back to try other flavors. read more

We were referred to this place by a friend who came here several times. It's like shaved cream and has a light fluffy texture. On our first visit, we tried peanut butter and jelly and haupia. The second visit was lemongrass and cookies and cream. Overall, we liked the peanut butter and jelly flavor the best. It gets pretty busy, even at night. So if you're with someone, have them get a table while you order. There's free water in a jug in the corner that you pour yourself. read more
