I stopped at the stand inside Kado Asian Fusion off of Broadway and I'm so happy they decided to work together to provide this option in addition to the food truck. They were so friendly and I loved the variety of flavors available. The price is also really reasonable for the serving size. On my visit I ordered a regular shave ice ($6) with half passionfruit have POG syrup and a snow cap. The ice was finely shaved and melted in your mouth. The texture was great and the syrup went all the way through the ice making every bite flavorful. The addition of the snow cap is a must, in my opinion, and it was a nice touch that this was complimentary. The space is part of the restaurant so there is plenty of seating available, including some covered outdoor seats and it's the perfect sweet treat after a good meal with Kado Asian Fusion. read more

My favorite place for shave ice. Only problem is no consistent place of business. Here there and everywhere.

This is seriously genuine "creamy" shaved ice. This is not chunky. This is the real deal shaved light fluffy. They have a unique way of serving this with the ice holding strong. You have got to try this. read more

Update - we hired Local Kine for a neighborhood gathering and what an experience! Juanita, who is just lovely, arrived early to set up and was ready to go when the event started. Everyone so happy with the quality and flavors of the shave ice, and her service. Really, we can't say enough about Local Kine - such an awesome service! Mahalo nui! read more

This is an easy review! They had exactly what I wanted (blue raspberry, cherry, and lillikoi). They served it up quick as can be. They were super friendly and personable. I ate my shaved ice before my order was ready at the truck next to it LOL! For someone who wants more, they have all da fixins you could ask for! I hope they are back at our neighborhood food truck event next month! read more

My order: creamsicle (vanilla and orange), lilikoi & coconut Refreshing treat to a warm night out at a football game. The creamsicle flavor was most prominent, then lilikoi, and lastly coconut. First tart, then sweet. By the end of it, it was sugar water. I would totally get a mochi add on next time for some chewy goodness. The flavor list is extensive. You can choose up to three flavors. Snow cap (sweet condensed milk), sour spray and li ming hui powder are free. read more

Food in the Hood - WestPark Wednesday [Roseville] Shave ice sounded so good when I stopped by the food trucks yesterday. Btw, on Hawaii Island, it's called shave ice--not "shaved ice". They served it like how they make it in Hawaii. The thinly shaved ice created a unique texture... like snow-like powder and syrup served in a bowl (or cup). The menu had many different flavors and we could choose up to 3 on either a regular ($5) or large size ($7). Eeny, meeny, miny, moe... I chose my 3 flavors -- Blue Raspberry, Strawberry, and Hawaiian P.O.G. (Passionfruit, Orange & Guava). Nom-nom-nom... definitely not snow cone which uses crushed ice. Mahalo! This brought back memories when I lived in Hawaii. I was in grade school and after school my siblings and I would go to the food truck and buy shave ice or Saimin LoL! Makes me long for the Islands. That was fun and yummy! Instagram: @LocalKineShaveIce Review #2617 read more

My fav shaved ice in the area. Their shaved iced is literally the best. It's sooo soft, smooth and it melts in your mouth!!! Very comparable to the shaved ice you can get in Hawaii. When I had shaved iced in Hawaii it tasted just like local kines!!! Can't wait til it warms up and they're back around town! read more

Not to brag but I'm kind of a connoisseur of shaved ice. It's my absolute favorite treat. We've had the best shaved ice from another state we moved from. Or so we thought. This was OUTSTANDING. The service was quick, the ice was fluffy, the syrups were so good (not too little or much and tasted great) and FREE SNOWCAP. Say no more. You had me at snowcap. Any place else we've been charged for that. And considering how busy the place was and how many people were in line for Local Kine they still went fast and had kind smiles and friendly demeanors so the ambiance was wonderful. read more

They came for our work fun day. It has been a long time since I have had shaved ice and I was pleased with the selection of flavors. You were allowed three so i get my standby of cherry, grape, and cotton candy. I also liked the additional toppings of Mochi Bites! The large size was huge but that is what you get for $7 if going to a regular venue. Work paid for us of course. Friendly service. Wait time was reasonable. Very much enjoyed my experience! read more

The absolute best shave ice you can get! I recently went to Hawaii and tried several shave ice spots there. I found myself comparing them to Local Kine. Local Kine Shave Ice was hands down better than the most famous shops in Oahu. We are lucky to have them. Check them out for yourselves. They post their schedule on instagram. read more

Excellent shave ice! In fact, the best shave ice in the Sacramento area that I have had since my days in Hawaii. There are many delicious flavors to choose from such as bubblegum, mango, cherry, tiger's blood, blue raspberry and blue Hawaii. There are combos to choose from as well as toppings for your shave ice. One great thing they do is offer free li hing mui powder, free snow cap and free sour spray to your shave ice. Please follow Local Kine Shave Ice on social media such as Instagram to see where they will have their truck next. If you love shave ice, please check out Local Kine Shave Ice.

Oh boy what a pleasant surprise at the Food in the Hood event at Morse Park today! This shaved ice is da bomb! Okay I'm biased as I walked to this event (half mailed at 5pm so I worked up a sweat) but so worth it as the ice was shaved fine, like the kind for Taiwan Shaved Ice, and a small which was pretty big- 5" cup with a choice of up 3 flavors. I added Azuki beans, so its healthy. Was tempted to add a scoop of ice cream too...well next time. Please come back to Elk Grove so we all can cool off and try more flavors! read more

We got food trucked hard - We visited 3 different trucks that day! My coworker and I are on a food truck journey! We're making it a mission to try and hit all the food trucks that come to the SactoMoFo event near our work every week. Pro-tip: Check out the food truck event schedule to see what's coming near you! My coworker decided to get ONE more thing before we left the event that day and it was Local Kine's - The small cone comes with 3 different flavors. He got pink lemonade, strawberry, and pineapple. I was not a huge fan of the pink lemonade (it tasted a bit fake) but the strawberry and pineapple was a fabulous combo. The ice on the snow cone is super flooofffy and soft. So good!! :) read more

If you want Hawaiian style shaved ice, this is the place (well, food truck) to get it. I hate when places sell shaved ice and it's the chunkiest ice ever. True Hawaiian shaved ice should melt in your mouth the moment you take a bite! Whenever I'm in the mood for shaved ice, I always get it from Local Kine because they never disappoint! I also love the variety of flavors they offer. I try to get something new every time but I just love the POG flavor so that's always a must. Melona is also a super yummy alternative to the usual watermelon. I always get vanilla ice cream inside too - trust me it's a game changer (think Gunther's 50/50!). My husband loves getting a snow cap (condensed milk) but on my most recent visit, they had a special ube snow cap available so I added that on and it was delicious - truly tasted like ube! Thanks Local Kine for bringing the taste of the islands here to the mainland! read more

Not really into shaved ice but wow, I'm glad I tried out this place. They have lots of flavors - the combinations are endless. They all sound so good, and the rainbow colored ice are so pretty. Boyfriend and I shared a large Tiger's Blood (watermelon, strawberry, coconut) with snow cap (condensed milk drizzle). So yummy...I should've gotten my own. To think we're paying $7 just for ice and syrup, it was a delicious treat on a hot day. I hope they come to my neighborhood again so I can try some more flavors. The food truck is cute and has a Hawaiian theme. Staff are hard-working and nice! The wait time wasn't that long but there was quite a line. I wish they had employee specials/favorites since they may know what's the best mix of flavors. Support local businesses! read more

Just like Hawaii.... So refreshing and delicious I cannot wait to get back. This is gonna be my regular summer treat.!

I was very impressed by them with my first and only experience. You get a rather large serving of shaved ice with good flavor choices (not seen at other more mainstream shave ice locations) as well as topping options (condensed milk, sour spray, and ICE CREAM) Both persons that I spoke to were very nice, and friendly yet didn't swivel the screen back to me to request a tip. I would've been more than willing to just because of how nice they were. I can't wait to find their truck again. read more

I've been wanting to check out this truck forever! I was finally at the right place at the right time when I happened to drive by my old gym Cal Fit (I'm not proud to say I no longer have a membership...maybe I will re-visit the gym as part of my New Years resolutions...but I digress), and there they were, along with other food trucks. Their truck had the longest lines (always a good sign). We ordered a tigers blood (strawberry/coconut/watermelon) with a free drizzle snow cap (condensed milk...a must with hawaiian ice), and the hubbs got pineapple, lilikoi and mango, with snow cap and li hing mui powder. We ordered the regular size, which was HUGE. But it was so good, I wished we ordered larges. Dare I say...it was as good as the ones we get in Honolulu. Maybe even better? Definitely worth chasing down if you see this truck in your neighborhood. I'm already drooling thinking of my next cup of shaved ice goodness read more

On a day that made me feel like I was going to melt, I headed over to a SactoMofo event in Galt to try some shaved ice. It was light, refreshing and cooled me off. I chose a custom combination of cherry, mango and cotton candy and ate it so fast I was in a sugary sun-drenched blissful state 15 min after my last bite. I def want to try their other flavors on the next triple digit day. So good. read more

This Wahini is a fan! Me: you should really consider taking orders in pigeon. That'd be cool! Then I'd really feel like I'm in the 808! Ernie: it's already hard as it is taking orders. Doing all that would just make things more difficult. Ok, so maybe I didn't get the whole Hawaiian experience but man, this place is ono! Am I getting too carried away with these Hawaiian terms like da kine? Ok it stops now. what better way to end your meal then with a nice and sweet shaved ice? They had special flavors today which made this first timers experience even better. What I loved even more was that they offered li hing mui as a topping for FREE! I got the guava, mango, and lychee with added macadamia nut ice cream, mochi, and li hing mui. Yum! It had the perfect amount of sweet, salty, and savory. My bf got the pog, Tigers blood, and blue Hawaii with mochi and macadamia nut ice cream. I was able to steal a few bites from him and thought the flavors were good. I definitely enjoyed the combos we chose. I'm hoping local kine comes to anatolia dinner more often ( today was the first time I seen them.) getting shaved ice right after dinner is the ultimate treat ! read more

This dessert truck is awesome! Everything brings me back good memories from getting frozen treats in Hawaii. I've tried a bunch of combinations of their shaved ice as well as their dole whip. Everything is super good! If they have mochi bits available you may want to try those it feels like chewing on small gummy bite sized candies and they taste like candy! If you so happen to spot this place seize your chance of trying it out you won't regret it! read more

$4.50 for a regular with ice cream. I ordered a Hawaiian Rainbow- Blue Hawaii, Pineapple, Lillikoi (passion fruit) with ice cream and snow cap (condensed milk). The regular was more than enough for one person, and I didn't know how I was going to finish it. My shaved ice started to melt quickly not too long after I started tackling it. If I wasn't so preoccupied with taking pictures of it in the beginning, maybe this wouldn't have happened. It was getting messy, so I scooped off some of the ice to help the situation. I think I would've liked it better if there was more ice cream and less ice. I'm not sure if I tasted all 3 flavors distinctively either. The very next day, I went to Osaka-Ya for a snow cone and Local Kine pales in comparison to them. read more

We had Juanita and crew to our home for a graduation party. They arrived promptly, the truck was spotlessly clean and Juanita is incredibly personable. It was like having a long time friend make shave ice. The shave ice is authentic Hawaiian and everyone raved about it. Ice cream in the bottom, sour spray, snow caps, plum powder - they had it all. I 20/10 recommend. I can't wait to host an event with them again. Thanks Local Kine! read more

OMG, I sooooo love Local Kine Shave Ice! Not only is what they're selling delicious, it's also priced well for a food truck (as in, don't have to take out a Home Equity Loan to afford it!). Plus, you can get the condensed milk or sour flavor added FOR FREE. Sign me up! I know most folks love the fruit flavors, and I admit they're great. And I've been known to indulge on a pineapple/coconut combo, or maybe orange/banana. But I have to say, my fave combo to get is the root beer flavor with a scoop of vanilla ice cream added....yummy!! My first time at this heavenly truck, I ordered the large size because it was only $5...my bargain-mindedness kinda bit me in the arse, because what I received was HUGE! Any of you out there who have done the same thing know what I'm talking about! Let's just say, unless you're extremely courageous and want to take on the $5 monstrosity (you DO get your money's worth!), or you know ahead of time that you're gonna share a large size with everyone back at the office, you should stick with the $4 regular size :) And yes, like folks say, you cannot beat a great shave ice on hot Sacramento day. Actually, it wasn't too hot today at Sactomofo 8 (thanks goodness!), but you STILL can't beat Local Kine Shave Ice :) read more

I've actually never heard of this food truck but my friends wanted to try it so we did! You can choose up to 3 flavors, so we chose: Blue Hawaii, Guava, Mango. It comes with some choices of free toppings, so we added the Snow Cap to it. It was $7 and was quite refreshing! To me, the flavors just tasted like a bunch of sugar and I could taste the Blue Hawaii but not the other two very well. On a hot day, it's a GREAT snack/dessert but I would have preferred ice cream or even a popsicle. The service was quick and the workers were very friendly, but I wasn't very impressed with the shaved ice. read more

I missed some good, quality shave ice. And I had almost given up trying to find one in the Sacramento region, until I ran into this truck in Natomas during one of the food truck meets. Shave ice is NOT shaved ice. Shave ice is like eating snowflakes. It's like letting heaven melt into your mouth. Shaved ice is like chomping loudly on the ice chips your nurse gives to you while you're at the hospital. With three flavors: red, blue, and yellow. No. This is not that. This place serves REAL hawaiian style shave ice with all the flavors(Tiger's blood, P.O.G., Lilikoi, etc.), caps it (condensed milk on top), and adds Li Hing powder! If you're feeling for something a little more decadent, have them add ice cream inside for a small extra fee. And the lady working was sooooo nice, she even got a smile out of my crabby little niece. Anyone who can do that is okay in my book. read more

My absolute favorite treat whenever they are near! They never disappoint, like ever. My go to is the Monkey Brains; strawberry, banana with a snow cap. I always add sour spray and lately have been adding the Li Hing Mui Powder. Let me just say. FIRE! So good! This last time we went to the Carmichael Park to fulfill my needed craving of shaved ice and had my usual, plus my husband and I were able to try their new ice cream sandwiches. We tried the mango ice cream sandwich and it was phenomenal. You can never go wrong with ice cream in between a macaron. Needless to say, I will ALWAYS visit Local Kine Shave Ice and you should too! read more

Regular and Large sizes of shaved ice off of a mobile truck. You can pick up to 3 flavors plus add anything from "Da Additions" list. Some are free, some cost.. I recommend adding ice cream ($1). We were delighted to find they have P.O.G. as a flavor among other Hawaiian favorites. I had a regular size and it was in danger of falling on it's side, toppling over.. So be careful. You don't want to lose a bite. They come equipped with a straw and a plastic spoon.. With so many different flavor combinations and additions, you'll never get tired of it. read more
