It's a little slow, but it was only one man working and the food so makes up for it. It was so good and not icy

Neighborhood Gem! Sweet treats on a hot day! Shave ice with whatever flavor you want... Lots to choose from... On a hot day really hits the spot. Dole whip for a "creamy" yet dairy free experience is also a great way to beat the heat. Or at least make it more bearable. Street parking all around. The people who live in the area are lucky that they can just walk over to this since it's right in the residential area. read more

We were wanting a good shave ice and It was worth the drive to Gladstone for a frozen treat! The flavor combos are endless, and the ice is light and fluffy! I got melona and guava. Hubby got watermelon and tigers blood with a snow cap (sweetened condensed milk) and li hing mui powder sprinkled on top that made for a really tasty extra flavor in every bite! Great friendly service and really quick too! They have some benches along the sidewalk in front of their cute little store so you can enjoy your treat right there. Next time we'll try some of their homemade tropical cheesecake that included lilikoi or lemon drop as a couple of their flavor options. Needing to chill out or get a little aloha in your life? Try Menehune Murph's! read more

seasonal operation/open summers for the shaved ice. Best shaved ice around anad I only wish I could buy them year round, but I get it, Oregons 8 months of rain would make for a very scant customer base. \Gladstone location is easy to find, near Clackamas town center. read more

I grew up in Kailua Kona and I had one particular spot that I went to to get shave ice. This shave ice shop in Gladstone brings back allllll the nostalgia for those times. This shop is owned and operated by a couple who spends half their time in Oregon and half their time in Hawaii - they're truly living the life, and are the nicest people. That does mean the shop is only open for part of the year. It's a walk up window off the main street of Gladstone. The menu offers a lot of flavors. The sizes are really generous - a small was a lot for just one person, so I actually recommend the mini size. It's still plenty. They are busiest on hot days, of course, so be prepared for a line if it's sunny out. Go on a cloudy day for no wait. Either way it doesn't take long and it's well worth it! read more

This place is an absolute gem, absolutely love going here on a nice day! The line can be lengthy, but it's worth it. Highly recommend!

So happy they're open for this hot spring weather! Great price for SHAVED ICE. Not a snow cone-- actual shaved ice!!! Many flavors, ice cream, toppers to choose from and the owners are super nice. This place gets very busy during peak hours, so be patient or get there early. There are a few seats outside. They haven't opened the inside back up yet and not sure if they will. Order at the door, which is converted to a window. They take ApplePay. My two advice: Be sure to check their hours before visiting, and bring wet wipes. Lol. read more

My little girl and I stopped by for a Dole Whip cone as a reward for her reading goals. On a hot day, at 3:30, there were only 2 people in line in front of us. The server greeted us warmly and took our order quickly. Our cone was beautiful and delicious. My daughter took one lick and declared "Today is a pretty exciting day" read more

This place has the best shave ice I've ever had outside of Hawaii - and better than some I've had on island. Sooo good. The only sad part is they don't serve shave ice all year, today was the last day until next spring. The rest of their offerings looked yummy and I look forward to trying those, too. The people working there are very warm and welcoming. We will definitely be back. read more

Summer is here and when I need a dose of that aloha spirit I head on down to Menehune Murph's. This portal to Hawaii offers shaved ice that never disappoints. Friendly service, amazing flavors and the best part: the ice cream is out of this world good, almost tastes like frozen custard. The sugar free flavors sweetened with stevia are stellar. They have the staples like P.O.G. and more interesting flavors you may never have seen before like Li Hing Mui, a flavor inspired by the Chinese plum. The large is really large, so I often opt for a small or medium. Menehune Murph's is legit, they have the best Hawaiian shaved ice I've tasted since hanging out on Maui. If you find yourself in PDX when it's real hot out take a trip down to Gladstone and grab some shaved ice at Menehune Murph's. You won't be disappointed. read more

I highly recommend this place! Great customer service and seriously the best shaved ice around town!

UPDATE: they're closed for the remainder of 2020. Small cries. I just tried to go there today. One of the things I crave the most is authentic Hawaiian shaved ice. We have our favorite place out on the islands and we are constantly wishing we could eat it, basically every day. It's hard to find Hawaiian shaved ice, actual Hawaiian shaved ice, in/around Portland. We always crave it and not the kind we grew up with from the county fair in a paper cone. Give me those tropical flavors, that condensed milk, the ice cream inside! This place does all of it. The only thing I wish they offered was the fresh fruit or mochi but I know that's asking a lot. We are perfectly happy with every shaved ice order we've had from here! We are even more happy that they're on the east side, close to home. Their flavor list is dizzying at how many they offer. My husband also figured out that yes, the red watermelon and green watermelon are indeed different watermelon flavors. A little warning, their sizes are HUGE. So order knowing you're going to walk away with a haystack sized shaved ice! The actual ice is always fluffy and light, perfect to soak up those flavors and mix into the ice cream. We'll definitely keep coming back, actually I'll be back tomorrow cause this prego has been craving it all night. If they were open now, I'd already be in the car. Ha! read more

If you're ever out in Oregon city on a hot day this is the place to check out. It's hard to find good shaved ice in Oregon and this one gets pretty close to home. The ice is pretty fine and their syrups are sweet (and come from Hawaii). They also serve the shaved ice in plastic containers that have 'drip guards' - perfect for noob shaved ice eaters. I had my shaved ice with ice cream - flavors are all good so just follow your heart, and pick three for maximum variety! The owners are from Hawaii. I spoke w the wife a bit and she's super nice. Definitely visit this place if you want a taste of aloha. There's also a very cool comic shop across the street. read more

Awesome service. Kid and family friendly, dog friendly, the owners are the best! Personable and always in a happy mood . It does get busy, so get ready to stand in line, average wait time us 10-15min but once you order they call you up within 5 minutes. Not bad considering they are popular with the locals and when it gets hot it's the best place to go to cool down. Obviously coming back for more . Icecream and pog shaved ice is like a Orangesicle , I super recommend the coconut and Pog flavors which are my favorite . Enjoy everyone! read more

One of my children have been frequenting this place for many a summer and she insisted we go since it was the last sunny day we we're gonna see in awhile and so glad she did! The husband/wife team that runs the place are super friendly and the shaved ice is excellent add the scoop of ice cream in the middle it makes it so much more special. The toppings are vast I can't even begin to list them all. Sadly they are only open seasonally, but I will become a summer regular. read more

Every single one of the five star reviews is deserved, heartily. Aside from the huge selection of excellent flavors, aside from the generous servings they give, the keystone of their business model is the personal, personable customer service that's evident the moment one reaches the window. The customers are individuals to these folks - imagine! Better yet, treat yourself to their shave [n]ice - then you won't have to imagine. read more

Amazing flavors and nice big balls of snow. Sherbet and Ice Cream are surprisingly good. If I lived around here I would try them all.

New Ownership!!! Same Ono Shave Ice and awesome service but now they have Hawaiian cheesecake and homemade chocolate chip cookies and sometimes make spam musubis!!! Ambiance is welcoming and we leave with happy Opus!!! Our favorite was the HAUPIA topped with their Ube drizzle. read more

So friendly, good prices, huge portions, and yummy!! Check it out for a fun and different summer treat

Only downside of this place is check their hours - I've wanted this a few times but they've been closed - other than that, this place is just wonderful! I got a "large" and that was too much for this fat kid. My flavors: Watermelon (green) and Watermelon (red). It was bomb!! The only thing better would have been eating this and sitting on a beach in Hawaii but I guess downtown Gladstone will work. The owners and staff are super friendly and outgoing. Treats you with so much respect. Yes, the hours are odd but it's a little family owned shop. They do open for special occasions or extreme HOT weather so if your flip-flops are melting on the asphalt, you should drive to this place and take a shave-ice break. Happy to have them in Gladstone!! read more

Just got back from Hawaii and having shaved ice in one of the highly recommended places on Kauai. I realized that I didn't need to travel thousands of miles and to pay twice as much to get good shaved ice. This place it great. I just wrote a not so good review for the location in Hawaii after comparing it to these guys. I have taken my daughter here a couple times. The service is always very friendly and prompt. The product selection is almost too much, I hate having to pick from a large selection and that what they have. Ice cream or not is always a no brainer. the ice is so smooth it has an almost creamy texture itself. For a tasty treat and a very reasonable price stop by, you wont be disappointed. I will be back and am taking my partner there as well. read more

This place is fantastic! We were greeted by one of the owners at the register, and even though he had a full shop of patrons and a line out the door 45 minutes til close; he was accommodating, friendly and passionate about his product. The flavors are abundant, and the price is very good for the quality and portion given. I had the Asian Plum and Coconut flavors over a scoop of vanilla ice cream, topped with the Snow Cap (condensed milk). Super tasty!! Really cozy little shop, with cute Hawaiian decor and neat artifacts of music and statehood from our 50th state! With great service, awesome shaved ice, and fantastic value, we will be back time and time again! read more

Waited in a line that seemed to move slower than it should have for its size. Three guys in their 20s in front of me. When it was my turn, they stayed in the space near the walk-up window waiting for their order to be made and the guy taking orders didn't ask them to move so I would have space to stand back away from the plexiglass. My only choice was to stand right at the counter. And yet every time I leaned forward to talk with the guy (there was a glare on the glass, so I had to bend down to hear him through the opening since I couldn't read lips through the glass), he stepped back as if I had Covid. This happened at least 3-4 times. He wasn't wearing a mask (so how concerned for his health was he?), and he didn't ask me to step back -- not that there was room for me to do so. It was very off-putting to feel as though I had cooties when I was trying to be friendly and ask questions (my first time here and first time potentially getting shave ice) while ordering. It also felt disrespectful that he simply didn't ask the men to move out of my way while they waited, nor did he ask me to wait in line until the guys' order was made -- which I had indicated I was happy to do before he waved me up to order. On top of that, he got my order wrong. After determining that a shave ice for my partner would melt by the time I drove home, I asked for two kiddie cones of Dole whip; one in a cup for my dog who had been waiting with me in line before he asked to be put back in my car parked next to the front of the line. (It was 88 degrees out! Pupper needed to cool down! Don't @ me about putting my dog in a hot car -- I kept the door open and I thought he was crazy too, but he insisted!) Point is, that should have been $4. What I got was a bowl ($4) and a kiddie cone ($2). Not only was this wrong, but it doesn't make sense-- my dog's ice cream was bigger than mine! (I ended up eating most of it, so moot point, but on the face of it, he would have had the bigger serving which is crazy -- the bowl is easily two or three kiddie cones' worth!) I should add that he was incredibly friendly, which is why I didn't complain or say anything about anything. As noted, parking was easy -- I got a spot right in front; the guy right behind me in line parked a few spots behind me. Hardly anyone in line was wearing a mask, and no one working there was either (July 2021). The Dole whip was delicious and hit the spot, so I will definitely come back for a $2 kiddie cone (just the right amount for me on a normal day!), and to try their shave ice when my partner comes back with me. I'll update my review next time; hopefully they can earn back the missing two stars. EDIT: Adding a star because I appreciate the response and explanation for the uncomfortable situation. Thanks, Brannen! We'll be back to try your shave ice soon! read more

My family and I love Menehune Murph's! It is the perfect place to get a cold sweet treat, especially on a hot summer evening. Murph (one of the owners) has the best customer service! He wants you to truly enjoy your shaved ice experience and will help you do that while being the friendliest guy on the block. Not only is it refreshing to have a unique dessert like shaved ice, it's also fun to watch them make it and cheap to boot! We've quickly become regulars because we can't stay away. read more
