On the way back to the car we saw it again and decided to try the Strawberry Bingsu. Our party shared the bowl and loved it so much we decided to also try the Mango Bingsu. It was the perfect amount of fruits and sweetness to cool us down in the muggy afternoon weather. Good service. Clean dining area. Cute decor. Wish we had more time to try other desserts but we will definitely visit again when we're back in town!

Good: Ordering is easy using a kiosk which provided clear instructions to the user. Quick service,…read moreeven near closing. At 8:30 pm, the place was packed, which is a great sign. Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

It was sooo good and I truly appreciate that they use fresh fruit puree as their flavoring. I'm so glad I tried it on my last day or they would have emptied out my bank account.

I preferred the small, charming shave‑ice shops I found on other islands like Kauai. I ordered a simple shaved ice without any of the extra toppings or ice cream, and it was still over $10. And unlike Henry's, where I know the sorbet is made from fresh fruit, I wasn't sure what Island Vintage uses for their syrups. Since Henry's is walkable from here, that's definitely where I'll go instead.

The service this recent time was fine, although they started cleaning the floors when we started eating so it smelled strongly of Pine-sol.

My wife did some searching here on Yelp for a place and saw that this place had some great reviews so we came to check it out. Ducked off in what I would describe as a parking garage, they have a walk up window that you can come to an order. Watch out for the moving cars! They had tons of options and many combinations for you to choose from. I was feeling pretty basic on this day, so I just got a shaved ice with half cherry and half grape. So good! They put a ton of flavor in the ice. There wasn't a bite that didn't taste just like plain ice. I got the keiki size, and as you can see from the picture I have it's a pretty big portion. Honestly, big enough for two people to share. I would highly recommend this place!

Tonight, after dinner, my boyfriend and I decided to stop by and we shared a Mango Milk Shaved Ice (Medium). Mangoes are in season so they taste prefect, not overly sweet or sour. Service was fast, we got out order in less than five minutes. The ambiance is warm and inviting, although I would suggest an occasional checking of the tables as some customers don't clean up dessert drippings... Meet Fresh is always our top-of-mind for a post-dinner dessert place, if we still want to hang out and not go home just yet :)

It's not ice cream and it's not really shaved ice. Hopefully you can see in the pictures what I'm trying to describe. Oh it's Taiwanese style "snow ice". Airy and creamy shaved ice. The mud pie was like coffee ice cream with pieces of chocolate blended in. It was accompanied with watermelon, grapes and mochi. The green tea had a condensed milk drizzle accompanied with grapes, cantaloupe and mochi. Our order came out quite quickly and we were fortunate to get a table. All the tables were taken with a line forming. This is even while it's raining outside. I'm not one really looking for ambiance. It's just filled with people chatting with each other in a full house. I enjoyed it but it's not the same as having a real mud pie. Craving satisfied but not fulfilled.

The good news is that it moves pretty quickly. The wait really begins after you place your order. This location is incredibly busy from open to close, especially in the mornings. I visited several times during my week in Waikiki, and every morning it was consistently packed. I waited anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes for our food and coffee each visit. Also, be aware that the coffee and food are brought out separately, so don't expect everything to arrive at the same time. The space itself could really use a remodel. Since it's both a café and a retail shop, there's very little room for customers waiting on orders. It gets extremely crowded, making it difficult to find a comfortable place to stand while you wait. Despite the wait and the cramped space, the quality of the food and coffee keeps me coming back. If you have a little patience, it's definitely worth it.
