You can really taste the difference in quality compared to other places--it's refreshing, flavorful, and perfect on a hot day. I love that it's a local business. You can feel the pride and care they put into what they do, and it's always nice to support a place that gives back to the community in its own way. The service is friendly, fast, and welcoming. The staff is always helpful and makes the experience even better with their positive attitude. If you're in the area and craving some tasty shave ice, definitely stop by Ewa Seed Company. Great flavors, great people, and a true local gem!

Once the snowcapped area was eaten.. there was zero flavor. I told the owner n he added more syrup. Again no flavor. All he said was sorry. Didn't bother asking to get a new one since I had half..but he should have offered something esp two of us complained n threw half of it away. Gave him a one star since he did not want to attempt to fix the issue. See the pic.

I know I've passed it many times on the way to Makaha beach and Pray for Sets. A friend had recommended this place and since we were close by, we decided to drop in. From the moment we entered, we felt like valued guests. The employees were friendly, hospitable, and were super thankful for our business. I ordered rainbow with ice cream and azuki beans. Loved the fact that they use Dave's ice cream (and not the cheap stuff that's probably not even ice cream). The ice is powdery and snow soft and melts in your mouth! The ratio of syrup to ice is just right - it was not overly sweet like some other places. Prices are also SUPER reasonable compared to other tourist places. They also sell aloha wear and accessories, making this place a one stop shop for all your local needs. Definitely make the trip to Makaha to get some delicious shaved ice then walk across the street to enjoy it on the beach.

The syrups tasted really good and refreshing, making it the perfect way to cool down. The service was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Located near Old Navy across from Johnny Rockets. The store was very clean and vibrant. I ordered the Coffee Craz snow ice and hubbs ordered a Thai Tea Float. If you're a coffee lover, the Coffee Craz is perfect for you. The snow ice was drenched in rich coffee flavor covered with condensed milk with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream. The vanilla ice cream wasn't just plain vanilla either; it was a special deluxe flavor that I can't quite describe. All I can say is it went so perfectly with all the flavors combined. Service was quick and friendly. So glad I found a snow ice spot close to home, will definitely be returning again!

I was always a fan of Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha. Super sad when they closed some years back! Let me just say Island Shave Ice & Creamery is my new favorite! Sunset is the perfect blend of Strawberry, Pineapple, Banana - love the flavors, plus we upgraded to add Dole whip ice cream. Their mochi is the real kine mochi balls, super soft, and offsets the sweetness right when you need it! Grateful for the generous number of mochi balls. I peeped the ice cream and it looked creamy soft. Might have to order a pint to go next time since I'm pretty much a sucker for their shave ice now. I might try other flavors but already sold on the Sunset. The service is great, they even made sure to acknowledge us since they were still finishing up another order when we walked in. That is so rare these days and much appreciated! Love the intentionality behind the menu and the service here and will be sure to continue supporting this business. Divine timing today!

First time here to try shave ice! And I and my husband…read moreregret why we didn't come here sooner??!! When we get inside there is an order counter to the straight. The left side of the entrance there are tables and chairs and their merchandise on the wall. They have many varieties of menu, so hard to make decision. For the shave ice, there is a custom order or they make some ready to order menu. I ordered Sunset Beach-Passion Orange, Mango, Guava- and my husband ordered Haleakala-Leche, Coconuts- with Toasted Coconuts topping. OMG!!! Their shave ice is soooo silky and smooth, more sorbet than shave ice!!!! We enjoyed both flavors and we'll definitely come back to try different flavors!!

Have a lot of pre-set items on the menu or you can build your own. My go-to is their #7 bc I like to have both mochi balls n' flan, while keeping the shave ice simple. Best eaten when you have a bit of flan + the shave ice to have the perfect balance of sweetness. If you eat the top part of the shave ice alone, you won't get the full sweetness. The flan, mochi, n' shave ice give all the textures. Definitely a great treat on a hot day!

My son-in-laws beer came but my beer didn't. We asked the girl delivering the drinks about my beer. She said she would check, but never came back. I had to flag down the manager and explained the situation asking for a refund. Well, I got the refund but the receipt was confusing, so I had to ask the person making the drinks. She said," Yeah, it's kinda confusing but you should get a refund. Go ahead and check your account in about 3-5 days". WTF. I WILL NEVER, EVER GO BACK TO THIS PLACE. YOU CAN GO HERE IF YOU LIKE STANDING IN LINE FOR A WHILE. ESPECIALLY IF THERE IS A GROUP OF TOURIST.

My husband and I were out in Ewa Beach area and decided to try something new, and we were so happy…read morewe did! This restaurant is small and tucked in a little shopping center with other well-known restaurants around, but I promise you, you have to give this place a try! Upon walking in, the menu is on the wall. After you order, you can get a cup of water and find a seat (seating is very limited, with only a few tables). The girl who took our order was so sweet and explained that it might be about a 10-minute wait because the food is made to order. My husband and I ordered the mandu ramyun, the mixed cold noodles, the pork kimbap, and the mango bingsu, and everything was AMAZING! I've had a lot of Korean food growing up with many Korean friends, and my husband has been to Korea many times, so we've had our fair share. The minute my husband took a bite of his mixed cold noodles, his words were, " Oh fuck, that is so good. OMG." As we kept eating, the kimbap came out, and we took a bite, and our eyes grew so big because we knew it was freshly made, super fresh, and so crisp and delicious! Our order of favorites is the mixed noodles, the kimbap and the mandu ramyun. Our mango bingsu was made when we told them we were about finished with our meal. They brought it out, and it was a mountain of the lightest, creamiest shaved ice, piled with juicy mango. It was so good, and so refreshing after our meal. When you're done eating, there's a place to place your dirty dishes as well, and they come and wipe down the tables after. All in all, we are definitely coming back again, even if it's all the way in Ewa Beach! Before we left, my husband told me, "damn, that was so good, we need to bring people here when they visit us." LOL I've never heard him rave about a place as much as he did about this one, so I know it's a place we will revisit!
