    Tiramisu and halo halo
    Jessie Z.

    I'm not a shave ice expert by any means, but their flavors were definitely yummier than what I've tried in Hawaii. Super impressed by the quality, portion, and uniqueness of each one. You can tell the owner is really passionate about the details and delivering a quality product. TIRAMISU: my personal favorite! The coffee flavor was surprisingly strong and the cream added a smooth richness without being overly heavy. HALO HALO: loved all the toppings. Such a great variety of flavors and textures all in one bowl, especially the subtle toasted crispy crunchies layered in. So good! WATERMELON LIME: I was shocked at how tart the flavor hit initially and then pleasantly surprised at how it transitioned to be sweeter as we kept eating. Super refreshing for a hot day. MANGO SAGO: tastes essentially like what you'd imagine. Quite fresh and mango forward. The best and most impressive thing about all the flavors is that they're "not too sweet"! For some of them you'd think it would be too sweet or too rich, but they are all really light, so you feel less guilty about trying more than one :)

    The best team! Super friendly and always a huge smile on their face!

    Was looking for something to add a little sweetness to my event and my sister came across Halohana on yelp. So glad she did! Had my event a couple days ago and it was hottttt! So the shaved ice was perrrfect! Alyssa is super friendly and walked me through how to book and made it super easy and stress free. I went with their signature tier which allowed me to choose 3 signature flavors. Watermelon lime- ohhh my guests loved this one. They make their own ice cream for this flavor and it was so refreshing, light, and the dash of tajin made it all come together. Strawberry shortcake- this one was my personal favorite, every bite just kept getting better and better anddddd that vanilla ice cream in the center yummmm along with thier dallop of cream. The freshly added graham crackers gave it that perfect crunch like you were biting into a strawberry cheesecake! Mango sago- ohhhh all my older guests loved this one. It was a taste of familiarity for them and the perfect treat. And you know elders are picky with desserts , especially Asian ones. They loved that it was tasty, but not too sweet! Definitely check them out and book them for your next events. They have the cutest little cart stand that just makes your whole event so much cuter and really come together. Thank you again Halohana for making my event such a yummy and memorable one! Can't wait to book your team again!

    I haven't really ventured out to trying shaved ice desserts before, but this pop-up event I just attended is making me want to try more! They were offering Halo Halo, Strawberry Shortcake, Mango Sago, and Mais con Yelo. I ordered the Halo Halo. For the price you pay, you get a really decent sized portion! I was able to share it with my kiddos and still be satisfied with the amount we received. The Halo Halo tasted good! I love that it wasn't overly sweet, which I really appreciate! There were lots of people who attended and they were well organized, which made the line go by fairly quickly! If you're looking for a shaved ice vendor for your parties, definitely give them a call!

    Halo halo

    We just hired Halohana for our daughter's birthday party at the park & it was a huge hit! Working with them from beginning to end was a seamless experience-- they were so helpful and responsive in the planning stages, showed up promptly for set up, & the service was surprisingly quick for how nicely crafted their bowls are. Not to mention, they were bombbb (especially the halo halo)! The cart setup & menu is also super cute which is an added bonus. Really couldn't be happier that we booked them for our party, it was such a unique experience for our guests & gave them that wow factor. Cannot recommend them enough & would book them again in a heartbeat!

    We hired a Halohana shaved ice and Halo Halo cart for our baby shower and it was one of the highlights of the event! The setup was adorable, the flavors we chose were delicious, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. Guests of all ages loved it, and it added such a fun and refreshing touch to the celebration. The staff were friendly and everything was clean and well organized. We received so many compliments from our guests asking where we found them. Highly recommend for baby showers, birthdays, weddings, or any special event -- we would absolutely book them again!

    I had the absolute pleasure of booking Halohana for a church outreach event, and I cannot say enough good things about this amazing shaved ice startup business. From the very beginning, their team was friendly, professional, and incredibly attentive. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, which is such a blessing when you're organizing an event for a mid-size / large group. On the day of our outreach, they arrived early, set up efficiently, and immediately created a welcoming and joyful atmosphere. Their kindness and positive attitude stood out, and they treated every one who came (from kids to homeless) with genuine care and respect. You could tell they truly love what they do. And the shaved ice--wow. It was hands down the best I've ever had. The ice was perfectly smooth and fluffy, and the flavors were rich, refreshing, and high-quality. Watermelon lime and Oreo. To die for. Nothing tasted artificial (except for the oreos, but that's because they are oreos!). Nothing was watered down. Some guests kept coming back for more, and many of them commented that it was superb shaved ice. What impressed me most was their commitment to excellence. Even during busy moments, they never rushed or cut corners. Every serving met the same high standard of quality, and their attention to detail made a big difference. Whether it was helping someone choose a flavor, accommodating special requests, or simply offering a smile, they went above and beyond. Halohana is perfect for both small gatherings and large events. Whether you're hosting a church function, birthday party, community event, or celebration, they are reliable, professional, and a joy to work with. If you have a sweet tooth but also care about quality, presentation, and great service, this is the team for you. Special shoutout to Jose and Alyssa! AGAIN--I highly recommend Halohana to anyone looking for an unforgettable shaved ice experience. They helped make our church outreach event special, memorable, and full of BIG smiles. We will definitely be booking them again in the future!

    If I could give 10 stars, I would! The shaved ice was SO good and the customer service was 10/10! My favorite was the strawberry shortcake, but a close second is the mango! If you're looking to hire a shaved ice company for your next event, I'd definitely recommend them. They were even selling super cute shirts at an affordable price. Will definitely be recommending them to all my friends, especially with spring and summer events coming up!

    We had them at our family celebration, and they were amazing! The shaved ice was delicious, the setup was clean and professional, and the service was so friendly. They arrived on time, kept the line moving, and our guests absolutely loved it! Such a fun addition to the party. We would definitely book them again. Highly recommend!

    Exceptional shaved ice. Jose is friendly, efficient, and competent. So glad I got to try his shaved ice. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for someone to cater their event!

    cold treats on a hot day!

    We used Halohana Shaved Ice for our corporate party last weekend and they were amazing! They were very responsive ahead of the event and worked with me to pick the perfect flavor options for our party (we went with strawberry shortcake and cookies and cream)! We had over 400 guests at our party on a hot day, and everyone raved about the shave ice! They were such a perfect addition to the party! Cannot wait to have another celebration so we can try out the rest of their flavors!

    Shave Ice on a hot summer day is ELITE. It transports me right back to Hawaii. What I love about…read moreShave Ice vs Shaved Ice is that SHAVE ice melts in your mouth and is much smoother in ice consistency versus the chunky and abrasive consistency of SHAVED ice. Parking is easily found in the neighborhoods along the cross streets. You order at a window and are given a buzzer by a very friendly worker. There's no indoor seating but there's benches alongside the walls on the corner of the street to enjoy your shave ice. You honestly can't go wrong with any of the Signature Menu as well as the Build Your Own bowls. I think the Regular size is enough to share for 2 people. If you like sweet, tangy flavors I'd recommend the Li Hing Berry bowl. The Blue Coconut Dream was also good if you're a fan of coconut or pina colada flavors. Try adding ice cream to your next order-- It's a nice, creamy surprise towards the bottom of the bowl :)

The walk up window is very small. We almost missed it, as there was a big van parked on the street, blocking our view. We got the regular size Tropical Breeze to share. Comes with pineapple, strawberries, and condensed milk. There was also li hing mui on the table, which we added. It was so delicious!!! Tasted just like Island Vintage in Waikiki (IYKYK) from our recent vacation. Will definitely be going back!

The inside is very clean, minimalistic in design, and fosters a calm, comfortable environment. I also like how Sul & Beans has a softly lit, outdoor dining area for fresh air and good night vibes. This place is also perfect for desserts in Buena Park or Fullerton, since there are so many good Asian restaurants and eats nearby. It's very connected with the larger, local food landscape and is a solid option for a light, soft dessert after a big hearty meal. My friends and I actually came here after eating at DOOKKI Korean restaurant, only 5 mins away, and it was a great call! We ordered the yogurt berry bingsoo and Oreo bingsoo; We loved both! The two flavors were great, safe options for everyone--but Sul & Beans also has more niche choices like their earl grey and black sesame bingsoos. They also offer toast desserts and I even saw taiyaki on the menu! I would definitely recommend coming by once in a while with friends if you love to eat in Buena Park or Fullerton!

They have up to level 3 matcha in both drinks and soft serve. You have to check out their instagram pages when they do orders for level 5 matcha ice cream! It's not the cheapest, but the amount of matcha they use in a level 5 ice cream pint is chef's kiss. Even if you're new to matcha, they always have something on the menu. They have lighter matcha options such as fruity flavored matchas and hojicha flavored drinks as well! They have seasonal flavors of their soft serve so I recommend checking out their instagram page for updates. I love that they sell their matcha powder now! It's a great way to make matcha at home when you can't constantly visit their shop. There's plenty of seating outside but unfortunately the parking can be limited, so choose wisely when you want to visit!!
