    Good shaved ice! Service was fast - they made to order and we didn't have to wait long to get our shaved ice.

    Love Lahaina Shave Ice, they abide by their motto that not all shave ice is created equal. The quality of the ice and variety of the syrups and toppings is to die for. However, I wish there was more seating at this location!! The line situation is also a tad confusing since there are two doors- we saw an older man cut through the entire line and order first since he went through the other one and no one objected to him. We ordered the blue Hawaiian with sugar free pineapple syrup and two toppings: mochi and snow top. This was so delicious and refreshingly light!! The mochi was pillowy soft, even though we ordered at nighttime around 8 PM. I don't think anything could beat the weather in Hawaii better than this. I don't think you could mess up an order at Lahaina even if you tried. This spot has well deserved hype, and I hope they continue to maintain their popularity and quality.

    There was a slight line but staff were sufficient the wait was not long I recommended adding condensed milk to rainbow (strawberry vanilla & banana)

    Conviennent and tasty shave ice near Waikiki hotels. Went in the afternoon - no line and was able to order on the spot. The small is pretty big already - but it does melt pretty quick! It does take a bit for the shave ice as they look to make them one at a time. Flavors meshed together with the texture of the ice. Would def come back!

    I saw this cute little dessert store next to the steak house next door. The girls were the sweetest helping me out with the ones to pick and what they recommend. It's shaved ice and it's so good. I got the black milk tea with ice cream and the smallest one, as I was by myself. It's really delicious and a nice treat, almost like the best black milk tea I've ever had. I couldn't finish it, so it's definitely made for two people. I was able to catch the sunset and enjoy my food and treat. I definitely recommend this place, it's so good never had anything like it. The girls were awesome and the vibes are pretty chill. I'm in HNL once a month and will be back.

    Lahaina Shave Ice - House of the Sun
    Minerva H.

    We got the House of the Sun with red bean, ice cream, and mochi toppings. This was such a tasty treat. My favorite was the blue shaved ice (blue hawaii) - it reminds me of cotton candy but less artificial/sweet tasting. The other two flavors, lime and guava, were tasty too. Loved the combination of flavors and toppings we got. Generous portion too.

    Came here for some shaved ice as it was just steps from our hotel, is said to be one of the best shaved ice spots on the island, and my brother comes here whenever he visits Waikiki and swears by it. So, since it was a hot day, what better way to cool down than enjoy a nice shaved ice dessert you can actually enjoy any time of the day or night. This place is not exactly easy to find as it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb, but once you do find it, you'd probably never expect it to look like a small parking garage's ticketing office...well, it probably was. Anyway, we went ahead and ordered one shaved ice with matcha flavor, with mochi balls, and extra scoops of azuki (red beans)....just because we really love our red beans! And, we also ordered a more colorful shaved ice with matcha, mango, and strawberry flavors and topped with azuki red beans too. Yup, there's a good reason why they say that this is one of the best spots for shaved ice.....the shaved ice is nice and fine and stacked tall in the small bowl, with your choice of flavors poured down the side till soaked into the ice. Wow.....a small spoon of flavored shaved ice, witha small scoop of red beans really hit the spot! Too bad this place is literally a hole-in-the-wall take away place only, so you either stand around and eat it (away from the main driveway) at the side, or wherever else you can find to sit and enjoy it as there are no chairs or tables here. I must admit that I am not a sweet tooth, and trying to cut down on sweet syrupy stuff, but this shaved ice was really good, and it reminded me of my childhood days....when my waistline and sugar intake wasn't a big concern :S

    Lava flow keiki size

    Lahaina Shave Ice is an unsuspecting location for some great shave ice. We walked to it and it wasn't too far from the restaurant we were at. It's located in this parking lot, so it was easy to miss. They offered different flavors, flavor combinations, and sizes. We got the Tiger's blood and Lava Flow both in keiki size. This didn't look like a keiki size because it was huge! Our family couldn't even finish it! We loved the condensed milk and soft ice. It definitely filled out shave ice craving. There is no seating outside so you have to find somewhere to sit. It sucked having to walk with our shave ice slowly melting. Thankfully we weren't far from a Starbucks and sat over there.

    This place is da bomb! Quick service, the shaved ice is smooth and has so many flavors. Definitely a hidden gem. Come and try yourself. Highly recommended.

    Kind of a weird location. It is located at the entrance of a parking garage so everyone was like watch out guys, be careful, move!, etc. We stopped in after having dinner at Ginza which was like two doors down. They have an extensive menu of flavors and the portions are huge. The young ladies working that evening were nice. Took a little while to get them and there's no seating area. You just have to stand on the side of the street and hope to not get run over. The texture of the ice was not as fine as other places. Reminded me more of a snow cone. The flavors were just ok although, the mochi was good. My brother loves it, but it just wasn't my favorite place for shave ice. I would most likely skip it next time even though I will be back for Ginza!

    The kids shaved ice. It was as big as my head
    Allie N.

    Saw this place on TikTok and knew I had to try it. It was pretty easy to locate, but can also be easily missed if you're not looking. Nestled at the entrance of a parking lot, Lahaina Shave Ice sits proudly and boasts a humble existence. Staff were super friendly and helping me pick out my flavors and even made some choices for me. I ended up getting the kids sized (keiki) shaved ice with lychee and passion fruit with ice cream and snow cap (pick the condensed coconut cream vs condensed milk). It was pretty good and hit the spot with the evening being so humid and warm. Would definitely return

    Popular shaved ice spot located near a parking garage that's just take out, shorter hours and accepts cards too. My friends got tutti frutti with mochi and one in a melon with jelly. Nice to share, good quality shaved ice and condensed milk, mochi was goo and they give you a straw to also drink but I felt like the end of our shaved ice was very syrup-y. I think I remember some ice cream at the bottom but I felt like this shaved ice was more of your snow cone type with syrup on the bottom. Lots of different flavors and options to choose from. Sometimes there are lines and no where to really eat sit and eat, we had to walk the strip while eating and sharing. Parking is probably hard too unless you're staying at a hotel nearby, if not there's probably hotel parking.

    A mountain of shaved ice and they even had raspberry which is somewhat hard to find in shaved ice. Very delicious

The restaurant is located near the Ala Moana Food Court so you can get yourself a savory meal then head here right after. They have a nice selection of Korean Bingsu and Drinks but the Bingsu is what keeps everyone coming back. Don't let it's simple look fool you. The ice is super fine and creamy. You'll receive a small cup of Condensed Milk to drizzle throughout as you devour it. Make sure you don't drizzle it all at once. Popular flavors are Strawberry, Mango, Oreo and Injeolmi (roasted soybean powder) but I must say, the Mixed Berries is gonna be on my top choices from now on! I've tried watermelon too in times past and that's also a refreshing choice. The Bingsu includes slivered almonds and some whipped cream.

We ordered the mango ice and the injeomi Korean bing. The mango one was delicious with lots of mango topping, almond slivers and whipped cream. The injeomi is basically a powdered peanut powder topped with red bean and a few mochi. The ice is light and fluffy and because the cafe is already air conditioned, the snow barely melted! Both are tasty but the toppings are on the skimpy side. There is a light dusting of the jeomi in the middle of the ice but just barely. I was hoping there would also be some more red bean and mochi too. Same with the mango one, the whip cream helps keep it all moist but it would also be nice to have more fruit in the center as there wasn't any. Otherwise Sulbing in Vancouver! They're the best with a scoop of ice cream in the center and topped generously with your chosen toppings!

Located just outside the Royal Hawaiian Center, the shop almost always has a long line, but it moves surprisingly quickly thanks to the convenient self-order kiosks. Despite the steady stream of customers, the staff handled the crowd with impressive efficiency, and our order arrived sooner than expected. With its vibrant layers of color and fresh toppings, the shave ice created a breathtaking first impression. Better yet, it tasted every bit as incredible as it looked. **Hawaiian Rainbow: 5/5** The Hawaiian Rainbow was the perfect sweet treat on a blazing hot day. Layered with housemade coconut spirulina, strawberry, and mango syrups over incredibly soft shave ice, it offered a bright medley of tropical fruit flavors. The shave ice itself was exceptionally smooth and delicate, with a texture reminiscent of fluffy snow that dissolved almost instantly on the tongue. Hidden beneath it was a layer of rich, soft ice cream that provided the perfect creamy contrast to the refreshing flavors. The finishing touches were a generous drizzle of condensed milk and fresh strawberry chunks, whose subtle tang balanced the sweetness beautifully. Homemade mochi added a soft, pillowy chew, while the lychee popping boba contributed subtle floral notes evocative of rosewater. Every element complemented the next, making each spoonful just as enjoyable as the last. Island Vintage Shave Ice more than lives up to its well-earned reputation. From the stunning presentation to the handcrafted syrups, silky-smooth shave ice, and a texturally diverse assortment of toppings, every component came together to create a phenomenal dessert that's every bit as delicious as it is visually captivating. If you're visiting Waikiki, Island Vintage Shave Ice deserves a spot at the top of your must-try list.

The inner shop is fairly small, so the line was outside the door. There aren't a lot of spots for seating, which is a bummer. The service was okay, but really just the bare minimum. I have to say the two standouts for me about this shave ice are as follows: the texture of the ice is fantastic - so smooth. It does also mean that it melts quickly, but it's really pleasant to eat. The other standout is the Mac nut ice cream. It's delicious, the bites of macadamia nut give a little crunch, and it all-around is very balanced with the flavors of the shave ice. I got the Sunset Beach, which is passion orange guava and mango. With the ice cream, I personally don't feel like the condensed milk is necessary, but I could totally be wrong.

My husband asked if we could order as well and that we drove here straight from the airport with a 20 minute detour and was immediately told, "No, this is the last order." He walked out, realized it wasn't even 10:30 yet, and went back in to ask why they were refusing to serve us when we arrived before closing. Instead of simply explaining or apologizing, the employee, Kalei, responded with an unbelievable attitude and said something along the lines of, "People don't realize we have SCHOOL in the morning, but it's okay, I'll take your order then if you want shave ice that bad." WOAH?!?! Seriously? If you close at 10:30, then either serve customers who arrive before 10:30 or change your posted closing time. There was absolutely no reason for the sarcasm or nasty attitude. My husband told her he didn't appreciate the attitude and proceeded to order a strawberry shave ice. She then turned off the TV/screen and told him, "No more ordering for you." At that point it honestly felt like she was going out of her way to be disrespectful just because he questioned why we were being turned away before closing. When he asked for her name, she very boldly told him it was Kalei, advised him of their Google listing, and basically invited us to leave a review and contact her boss, as if she was completely confident nobody would care about how she treats customers. We weren't asking anyone to stay open late. We didn't walk in after closing. We arrived BEFORE closing while another customer was actively being served. The entire interaction could have been handled with basic courtesy, but instead we got sarcasm, hostility, and an employee seemingly trying to embarrass a customer for simply asking to order during posted business hours. One of the rudest and most unnecessarily hostile customer service interactions we've had. Completely unacceptable.
