Here on a Friday evening around 6. Ordered a bento box and a mixed plate with katsu and chicken…read morewings. Both were very good. Bento box is like a mini plate at other places. Don't come here if you don't have time to wait. They do tell you there is a wait before they take your order. He told us 45 minutes. It was 60. But we knew that from reading reviews. We planned to walk across the street to Grocery Outlet while we waited anyways. Next time maybe we will call to order. Noticed a lot of people did that. And they had catering orders that could be making wait times longer. It's a tiny place not really for eating there. 2 small tables with 2 chairs each. No restroom.

The family ordered 2 mix plates with 3 items (chicken katsu, chicken wings, roast pork-which is…read moreonly available on Mondays, and the second one with Kalua pork, roast pork, and chicken wings), a bento box with teriyaki beef and Kalua pork, a mini loco moco, kalbi fries, and a spam musubi. I tried most of the food and I had some mixed feelings: the katsu could not stand alone and needed the sauce, the Mac salad was lacking in flavor--maybe a tad too much on the sweet side. The loco moco was also a bit bland for me. The roasted pork was tender and tasty. My daughter liked the spicy kalbi fries-and my son loved the beef. This is a place mainly for take out. Only 2 small tables inside with a couple of larger tables outdoors. Plenty of parking in a shared lot with other businesses. Food-4/5 Service-4/5 due to the long wait time from the time in between ordering and the time I actually got the food I would come back again if I was in the area.

We were traveling down the coast and found this place on Yelp, all other nearby restaurants didn't…read morerate that well. After walking on the pier we were kinda worried about finding a decent spot to eat. So glad we gave it a try. Walking in there were like 3 other parties walking in so that was encouraging. It gave off Hawaiian/tiki vibes and was inviting. They have a 3 course special 4-5 pm for like $30. My husband and I picked that, I had the teriyaki chicken bowl and he had bbq ribs. The salad had a delicious dressing and had to eat every morsel. Both the main courses were really good. My grandson ordered the steak and ate every bite of the whole meal. Kai (the waiter) was very nice and gave us some advice on what to see along the route. I got an amazing picture that I blew up to hang in our room. Totally recommend giving this place a try!

I love it here. I wish I have gone here sooner. lol…read more This place is really easy to find, you can see the name right by the major road, plenty of parking up front. The store is a bit small but they do have outside seating. They have the menu available for people in line so you can be ready when you finally in front. They also offer water while you wait because it does get really hot out here in the summer. I do not think I have ever had shaved ice like this before. You have the option to have it with ice cream, the ice cream is from Lappert's and is already delicious on its own. You get to pick mochi (i always get mochi) or red bean, and your choice of syrups. I have tried a couple different combos and have liked them all. The ice is so soft and fluffy and full of flavor from poking the ice with sticks and making sure the syrups penetrate all the way. I really appreciate al the time and effort they put in every order. The staff is also very sweet. Be sure to stop by !

Shockingly, I have never had this place while in Hawaii. I'll be heading out there soon, but since…read moreI was in this area, I figure I'd try it Stopped by a couple weeks ago, line didn't look too bad but it did end up taking 45 minutes to order and get my shave ice. I swear it felt like some people took 3-5 minutes to order. But also the cashier keeps having to switch between taking orders and shaving ice. They have a lot of workers so I'm not sure what the holdup is. Anywho, we ordered calamansi, guava, passion, with snow cap and a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream. I don't remember which one was my favorite but calamansi was not it. The ice cream was a nice touch, and overall the texture was fantastic. I'd come back maybe if there was a 10 minute wait!

I have also hired this great local company for neighborhood events, block parties and open houses. They are very professional and arrived in plenty of time to set up their amazing Tiki Bar! We didn't have a lot of kids so we weren't sure how many people would partake of the shave ice but it was a HUGE hit, especially our concoction of "Schoon-er-Ritas." OMG these are so GOOD! Santa Cruz Shave Ice is super easy to work with. The owners are accommodating, very pleasant to interact with and are AMAZING party planners. Chermae and Sybil are friendly, funny and truly enjoy the fruits of their labor. If you want to move your party to the next level, we highly recommend hiring Santa Cruz Shave Ice.
