I'm continuing my review from May 22 because I didn't know there were two locations. Today we went…read moreto the second location in Kapahulu. This time we tried a small rainbow cup with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk. It was refreshing, not too sweet and oh so lovely. I preferred this location because there was ample space to park a car and sit to enjoy the shave ice. The location being in a neighborhood was great. I love seeing places that find their way into a neighborhood during the day. Best of luck and continue to do what you enjoy. It's worth it. We will be back when we return to Hawaii. You cannot get shave ice like this in Pacific Northwest.

We got cotton candy instead of strawberry and I think bubble gum instead of guava? It was pretty awful. Price- decent for shave ice 6.75$ish for a large bowl.

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.

This place is a highly recommended stop. I would say it's on par in terms of flavor and…read moresatisfaction with Azuki Tokouri (viral reservation only 6 seat tiny store) in Shibuya, Japan. There's a long line to order on a tablet. It doesn't take too long for the line to move. Afterwards they call each order by number. You can taste the quality of their In house flavored syrups, I love that their mochi is hand made and the soft powdery chewy kind rather than mochi balls/Shiratama. I love their macadamia nut cream, very nutty just like the nut. Ambiance is lively as it's located outside the Royal Hawaiian shopping center in Waikīkī tourist area. There's plenty of outdoor mall seating by an outdoor stage with occasional live music. The shaved ice stand right outside by a vintage island coffee shop and vintage island wine bar upstairs.

Shave ice was more like modern style. It was soft and smooth unlike the OG shave ice. I like both styles but I prefer this way a bit more since it's very easy to eat and flavor soaked up deeper. Highly recommended.

The fruity flavors were fun and the presentation was kawaii! In the middle of the shave ice mound was a scoop of creamy vanilla soft serve! Mmm!

So I looked on Yelp and was able to find this location of Uluani's which, while close to Waikiki, is not in the chaos of Waikiki. In any case, for my shave ice on this day I went with an ulu and chose lilikoi and coconut as my two flavors. My father also went with an ulu and chose grape, lime, and coconut as his flavors. The ice here was shaved super thin and, as usual, I loved the flavors. The coconut at Uluani's is creamy with a nice coconut flavor while the lilikoi is both sharp and sweet, which makes for a great combo. My father also enjoyed his combination, which included flavors I had never tried from Uluani's before. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As I have stated in other reviews before, I consider Uluani's to be the standard for shave ice and this visit only reinforced that.

Not for us! Have…read morebeen ordering shave ice almost all my life and the people behind the counter were confused on what I was ordering... strange!

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.

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.
