Checked out Hokulani Shaved Ice after having a craving to find similar shaved ice as the ones we had in Hawaii. Pop up food truck with different locations and times can be found on their Facebook page. We tried the passion fruit guava lime with sweetened condensed milk and one of their specialty shaved ices with toasted coconut and pineapple (Cina Colada) All the syrups are fresh made, not the artificial flavors. And the shaved ice were yummy, refreshing and not too sweet. read more

STOP thinking about coming here and just do it! I'm literally blown away. The fresh fruit and the variety of availabilities like guava and passion fruit makes this shaved ice unforgettable. After having shaved ice in Hawaii, I tried several places here and almost gave up on finding shaved ice that's comparable. Well, my search is over. I give this place a clear 20 out of 10. Well done! read more

So glad I finally got to come out and try them! The employees were so nice and explained everything & gave recommendations. The ice was AMAZING, almost if not everything is homemade, and boy can you tell. So fresh and flavorful. I will be back every chance I get!!! I also got the ticket to Hawaii but it was gone before I could even get a picture!! read more

Was eager to try this shaved ice for the first time and waited in long line in the hot sun. Service is slow, so bring patience. Price was $6 for small and $8 for a Texas small (I guess this translates to Large). You can chose up to 2 flavors, so I ordered 1/2 coconut and 1/2 watermelon, but they mixed the 2 flavors on top of each other, not separate with 1 flavor on each side. This may have been the fatal error. The result was awful and tasted of rancid milk. I could only take 2 bites and had to trash it. I am shocked by how a shaved ice can go so terribly wrong. It's hard to mess up, but flavors were inedible I'm sad to say. I wasted $6 and a lot of time waiting in Texas heat. Huge disappointment. Buyer beware. read more

My family and I have been wanting to go for the longest time. We finally got to stop by yesterday to try it. There was a bit of a wait but we didn't mind. We will be back again. read more

Hokulani Shave Ice is so good! This amazing food truck specialized in authentic Hawaiian shave ice which is nothing like raspas, or whatever other shave ice version we are used to in San Antonio. Something key about them is that they use real fruit on their shave ice, which makes everything taste 10x better. Because of this, their menu is constantly changing according to fruits which are in season, but I can assure you that anything you order will be delicious. During our last visit, we got the strawberry shave ice with strawberry ice cream and it was super yummy. Highly recommend following them on Instagram so you can check out their schedule. They are always moving around the city and do pop-ups in different businesses or events. Last but not least, the owner is always super friendly which makes the overall experience so much better. read more

A taste of Hawaii. These are the best shaved ice in San Antonio. The coconut cream on top is my favorite.

So glad we stopped by!! The shaved ice is soooo soft and the flavor combos are awesome. Clearly they are using real fruits in the syrups and many of the toppings are homemade too. We got Lilikoi (passion fruit) and coconut shaved ice, topped with passion fruit syrup, homemade coconut cream, coconut flakes and pineapple. AMAZING!! And a watermelon shaved ice. Both were so good!! The customer service was wonderful and they were all so kind serving customers :) will be back!! read more

Best shave ice in San Antonio! My husband and I loved our shave ice to much that we went back for seconds after we finished our first bowls. read more

My friend and I threw ours out on the grass. Bitter and filled with chemicals. Stay away from this truck.

They use real syrups from fruit so if you miss lilikoi, it's the real deal with even the seeds in the syrup. That said, warn ur kids that the lime and lemon are sour and not sweet like lemonade. We waited 45 min in 92F hot sun. 40 people were in line BEFORE it opened. I recommend trying on a weekday when it may not be so busy (fingers crossed). The shaved ice is not as fine like Matsumoto's, BUT they use all natural syrups. Someone also wished they carried mochi balls for a topping. Another recommended playing Hawaiian music outside while people waited ;) def a place to visit in the TX summer and def worth checking out instead of having to fly all the way to Hawaii! read more

I ordered the mango chili lime and it was so good! However, the middle of the ice not didn't have any syrup at all. The outer shell was the only part covered so i was very disappointed with that. If someone is going to be paying $8-$12 the entire ice should be flavored :/ read more

Hōkūlani Shaved Ice is such a fun food truck and easily one of the best spots for a refreshing treat. The shaved ice itself is light, fluffy, and packed with flavor thanks to their wide range of syrups, ice cream add-ins, and creative toppings. They offer some really fun specials if you want to be surprised, but you can also build your own masterpiece if you like mixing and matching. I especially loved getting to try a new syrup flavor, pineapple with Li Hing Mui, it was sweet and tangy. Whether you're sticking to a classic combo or going adventurous, this is a place worth stopping by again and again. read more

Ever since our trip to Hawaii my wife has been following Hokulani and trying to get us to go. Well this past weekend we finally had a chance to try them out at the Pearl Farmers Market. We were there pretty early so avoided most of the crowds and had time to check out the menu without being in too many people's way. Ultimately my wife decided on guava limeade and strawberry with the coconut cream and I did strawberry and blueberry with the coconut cream. The staff was very friendly and made our order fast. Now if you didn't know there's a big difference between shave ice and a raspa/snow cone. These were by far the best shave ice we've had outside of Hawaii! The ice was super smooth, the flavors were excellent, and the coconut cream was the perfect addition. Would highly suggest you give Hokulani a try for a treat, especially while it's so hot out! read more

This place is so good! The people are friendly, product is authentic, customizable and only made with real, fresh ingredients. The ice is so soft it's like eating snow. I've been back too many times than I want to admit but feel good about supporting a small business. This is one you don't want to skip! read more

First time and won't be the last! Fast and friendly service. Luckily there wasn't a line when we went. Love the flavor options and how fluffy the ice was. It wasn't clumpy or weird, just the perfect consistency. It can be pricey depending on what you add, but I thought it was worth it. read more

This shaved ice company rocks. Anyone who passes by it should 100% stop by and try some. They make their own real fruit flavoring and it definitely shows when you eat their product. Personal favorite was the kiwi flavoring. The service is fantastic as well, both people working that day were incredibly nice. read more

Perfect summer treat... just gotta eat fast! You can tell the couple running this food truck love what they do and love food and people! Everything was clean and seems to be running well. I actually missed the Yelp Elite event by a day (life...) but I a special effort to track them down (schedule posted on their FB page) and get us some Hawaiian shaved ice! Cold, refreshing, satsifying, unique, and delicious! Don't be afraid to mix things up a little... Prices are great, so come back for more! We will be... Only negative, no shaded seating at the truck. read more

I followed Homulani on their Instagram page to find out when they would be at a location near me and then made a plan to take my girls out for a sweet treat. I loved interacting with the staff. We chatted about the AAPI Heritage Month Passport and shared some of our favorite places on the list. I ordered a 1/2 strawberry & 1/2 watermelon shaved ice with chocolate ice cream for my girls and a 1/2 mango & 1/2 pineapple shaved ice with vanilla ice cream for me. I loved the natural flavors instead of syrups and the outcome is SO GOOD! We will definitely return for more. read more

So I might have a small obsession with this shave ice, but it's so good and it's the best way to cool off in the intense Texas Summer. I absolutely love the coconut with raspberry, pro tip add vanilla ice cream in the middle and coconut cream on the top! The tamarin is also AMAZING! This is a little fast of Hawaii you can find in Texas The owners are the nicest people and they always make you feel like Ohana. Disclaimer - once you try this place all other shave iced will be ruined. They use real fruit syrups and it's delicious. P.s. the pups also love the treats! read more

Texas is currently muggy with a high of 104 this week. With that being said, the reprieve this shave ice gave me in this TX heat was exactly what I needed! I had the lilikoi (passion fruit) topped with li hing mui powder, and it was delicious! Their syrups aren't too sweet, which in my book, is the biggest compliment any dessert can get. The service was also very friendly and I'll definitely be back! read more

We were on a search for dessert after lunch and saw some folks we had gotten shaved ice desserts from Hokulani. We're glad we found Lloyd and his dessert food truck! I had the razzmatazz and pineapple with homemade banana ice cream while my husband had the razzmatazz and armadillo blood with vanilla ice cream. Refreshingly good! There's still some summer left so check it out and enjoy! Love that Hokulani means heavenly star! read more

We have been craving Hawaiian shaved ice for a while now. Most of the places here in SA have disappointed. However, we saw Hokulani Shaved ice on Instagram, so we gave them a shot. They were located in a food truck in far north SA. When we got there in late evening, line was quite long, which was reassuring for me. The service was good. They have multiple options which looked intriguing. We had the First Class to Hawaii. This was delicious, almost as good as the shaved iced we've had in Hawaii. Unfortunate that they don't have a permanent location. Will definitely try them again if they are somewhere closer to central SA. Highly recommend them if you are craving Hawaiian styled shaved ice. read more

We have been following their Instagram. On Wednesday we were lucky enough to have them in our side of town and 15 min before they were set to close, we were able to get our shaved ice fix. I had the mango and lime with li hing mui powder. It was the perfect combination. A little sweet and a little tangy. Just what I wanted. My boyfriend had the coconut pineapple with coconut cream. I'm so getting something sweeter next time cause I need that coconut cream in my life. It was light, fresh and definitely tastes like coconut. The owners are super nice. I can't wait till they are back on my side of town read more

At first I approached this snack truck like, OK why am I going to pay $6+ just for shaved ice but in the end, it wasn't just over sweetened ice. It was nicely shaved ice with a nice not to sweet flavoring and some yummy creamy ice cream inside. It blended together well. Overall, I was ok with the price, the time it takes to shave the ice properly and the blending out the flavors was worth a special treat once in awhile. The line was long and moved slow but now I know why. read more

Blueberry/coconut shaved ice was very nice to have on a hot San An day. I really enjoyed the cremy savory taste of the shaved ice. It had a nice texture to it and the flavors were not.overwhelming but went together harmoniously. Also the owners were friendly and we struck up a nice conversation. Even though it was hot, they both had smiles on their faces and were welcoming. I'd definitely try it again with the other flavors they have. You can an add ice cream if you want as well. read more

I have to say this is some of the best shaved ice I have had since moving from Los Angeles. The owners moved to San Antonio from Hawaii and are extremely friendly. They really take the time to speak to every single customer they interact with. We ordered half coconut, half strawberry, with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk. It was absolutely amazing! The hardest part is selecting your toppings, they have such a large variety of choices. The large bowl was enough to feed two people, and their price point is fantastic as well. If you are looking for an affordable sweet treat this summer for you and the family, make sure to visit Hokulani Shaved Ice! read more

You are not going to get a better Hawaiian shaved ice unless you you hop in a plane and fly 4,200 miles. The syrups are all from fresh fruits and you have to get the homemade coconut cream. The service is fast and the people are friendly. one of the easiest 5/5 I've ever gave. read more

So friendly, fun, and delicious! It seems like they make all their syrups from scratch. I tried coconut, which was real coconut milk flavor not artificial, and Hi Ling pineapple. Hi ling is a sweet and sour powder made from dried plums, really cool flavor. I can't wait to try more flavors! The "Texas small" (hilarious) was too big for me to finish! read more

Tl:dr - the Hawaiian shaved ice I had hoped to buy in Hawaii. A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to go to Hawaii. I was excited to try the famous shaved ice, but when I finally had the chance to try it, I couldn't see the hype. However, when I had the chance to try this version, I jumped at the chance. My friends and I ordered half kiwi and half passion fruit, with vanilla ice cream and taro syrup and condensed milk on top. It was really good! All the fruit syrups tasted really fresh, the ice cream wasn't over powering, and the taro syrup was 100% what I've been craving the last few days. If I ever get the chance to find this place again, 100% would go again. read more

So legit!! I check every week to see where Hokulani's going to be and keep my fingers crossed that it'll be close to me! Their shaved ice is SO bomb that I'm obsessed. Every flavor I've had is so good and the owner makes the flavors himself. This isn't a lame-o artificial syrup poured on shaved ice sort of place! I like to add the vanilla ice cream and condensed milk, which gets super decadent but it's so good! The bowls don't look that big but you get a big mound of shaved ice so it's actually a very decent sized serving. It's definitely my favorite dessert in SA! read more

This was a pleasant surprise at McAllister Park. We went there for a nice relaxing walk and found this awesome food truck! The shaved ice was HUGE for the great price and the flavor was kid approved! My daughter LOVED her shaved ice and I promised her a return trip. It was not just the shaved ice but rather, the good conversation and friendly attitude that made this a must visit place! read more
