    I waited 2 hours for this and I'd easily do it again. Food: (5/5) This was actually my second time ever having Mike's and I can't seem to get enough. They have the BEST shave ice around. My first time around, I got the lilikoi pog with li hing mui and vanilla ice cream. AMAZING. It was sweet but not too sweet, a little tangy, good portion for 1-2 people, and balanced by the mochi and fresh strawberries. I loved it so much I got it again my second time around just without the vanilla ice cream. If you're getting Mike's for the first time, 100% get this and li hing mui is a must. My cousin got the calamansi mango sago which was also pretty good but not our favorite. The calamansi came thru much stronger than the mango which I liked but know isn't for everyone. The sago and coconut flakes gave it a pleasant earthiness/nuttiness. I probably wouldn't get it again, but I'm still glad we tried it. Service: (5/5) Everything here is made to order so just know that there will be a wait. Even after a supperrrr long line, the team was still really friendly and accommodating. Literally nothing but praise and love for this business.

    I have waited YEARS to finally catch a Mike's Shave Ice popup. I saw one of my friends on Instagram post they went to the popup at the Renton Farmer's Market this week, which I missed. Luckily, there were other popups scheduled for this week. On Wednesday, my boyfriend and I drove up to Kirkland for the Kirkland Wednesday Market. We arrived a little after 4PM and was able to snag parking in the area. It was $2.40 for two hours, which is amazing for parking. Unfortunately, the Halo Halo Shave Ice was already sold out by the time we arrived. We opted to order the Strawberry Mango Sago Shave Ice with an additional add on of Ube Ice Cream. The total was under $14 after the add-on and tax. The best part was there was no wait! It probably helped that it was a bit chillier that day. So happy to have finally tried Mike's Shave Ice. It was delicious and nothing like regular shave ice/snow caps. This is WAAAY better. I hope I can catch another popup soon to try the Halo Halo Shave Ice!

    I got Mikes shaved ice at an event this past week, and it was honestly so good and so needed! It was crazy hot outside and the shaved ice really hit the spot. I didn't think it was too sweet, and I could really taste all of the flavors. It was done very fast, and I'm glad I got to try it!

    When I was walking around the Saturday market in South Lake Union, I was looking for a quick and easy dessert. I thought I was going to get like a small cup of ice cream or a churro or something. That's when I noticed this pretty large line outside this popup called Mike's Shaved Ice - which I thought was odd because none of the other dessert places nearby had any line at all. Was this place really that good that people were willing to wait 20-30 minutes when they could get something else for another place for free? Turns out, yes, it is This might take the cake as the best dessert I've had in Seattle My goodness, this was good I think I've had shaved ice before at some point, and I recently had a snow cone, which is somewhat similar, but nothing could have prepared me for how incredibly good this tasted. I got 3 flavors - pineapple, blue vanilla, and orange dream, and each bite had so much sweet, juicy, just-absolutely-perfect flavor that it was bursting in my mouth. When I took my first bite, I was in awe at how amazing that was. The ice was shaved so thin you couldn't even really feel the individual crystals at all. After taking a bite, it lasts a few second and melts away into your tongue, leaving nothing but that amazing syrup poured on top of the ice. It was truly a magical experience Picture this - you're scooping away, encountering zero resistance at all, and each bite can be one of 3 diverse but incredible flavors. Also, this thing is pretty damn big as well I've gotten this far without even talking about the vanilla ice cream inside. It seemed to normally be a topping, but I got mine inside because reasons? I'm not complaining at all though, because after you get to the ice cream, a lot of the shaved ice is melted, so you're kind of just eating the ice cream with the flavored syrup, which is also a fantastic experience. If I ever get the chance, I would like to try it with the ice cream on top, however This is slightly expensive for ice cream, but well within reason when you see how much you get.

    love love love Mikes Shave Ice! Best shave ice in WA. You can find them at farmers markets and other pop ups in the Seattle area, luckily they come down to Lacey here and there. Staff is always nice and makes you feel a sense of community. Quality of their ingredients are always so fresh and can be very nostalgic and give you that home feeling if you're from HI. You can always find these guys with a long line, but everything is worth the wait and surprisingly goes by quickly. Fluffiest ice, just the right amount of sweetness for their syrups, and balanced toppings. Will always support local businesses, especially when they're connected to Hawaii!

    It's the best shave ice in the Seattle area. Just follow the long line from this truck, which makes an appearance around farmer's markets in the area. I was finally able to check out Mike's Shave Ice and see what the fuss was all about. And okay, I get it. I've attempted to wait in line for Mike's Shave Ice a few times, always giving up because I tell myself I'll just get it next time. And at the last farmer's market day in Bellevue, the truck made an appearance, and there was hardly a line. Pure luck! This is never the case, so I tell you that if you don't see a line here, get in THEN AND NOW. Because there will be a line soon. And they sell out of items! The menu is straightforward with different flavors for the shave ice that you can customize or try one of their signature items, like the halo halo, which is what I ordered. It didn't take too long to make, and it was refreshing, especially with the shave ice and ube ice cream and jelly. If you like halo halo, you'll like this one. But everything on the menu looked delicious; I'd like to try something else next time. Like I said, it's the best shave ice in the Seattle area, offering refreshing, light, fruit-forward shave ice.

    Everything about this place was awesome except the wait time (i wish they get more help)!! In $18, we got: - mango sago shaved ice - 5/5- amazing presentation, loved the tiny sago and mochi cubes and perfectly ripe chopped mango on top :) too good!! - choose 3 flavors - 5/5- loved this too, it looked lesser than the mango but tasted better!! We added ice cream and condensed milk which enhanced the flavor immensely. It's located in a busy Thursday bellevue farmers market, the line was 1 hour plus. My suggestion, take turns standing in line while also enjoying the pizza from the next door pop up.

    Mike's shaved ice... Best shaved ice experience I've ever had. So I come from the East Coast, so truly good shaved ice is much harder to come by than the inferior "snow cone". Mike's was SUCH a treat. Their flavor choices are amazing, and all the ingredients are so fresh. My wife got strawberry and I got a passionfruit, I can't remember the names exactly, but they were both phenomenal! They were perfectly sweetened, the texture was amazing, toppings were well thought out. There's really not much more you could ask for! The staff were all so nice as well! We can't wait to get to one of their next pop-ups!

    We love Mike's Shaved Ice! They do so many pop ups in Renton I'm so happy to live close by!

    The best shave ice in WA! Can't wait for next summer to follow their truck again. Service is always super friendly and they always seem to work as fast as possible especially when the lines get long.

    I hunt for Mike's shaved ice every summer - the sago topped ones are the best in my opinion but the lilikoi is nice and light

    I heard my coworker mentioned Mike's Shave Ice has a pop up in Renton at a neighborhood park. I right away dropped by after work. The line was so long, but shaved ice really lived up to the hype. Really nice add-on for a hot day after work. I had mango sago and likikoi I believe! They all tasted very refreshing and fruity, not too sweet at all. The syrup is homemade I believe? Tastes like come straight out of mango and strawbery to me. They ran out of mochi when I got there but all good!

    My honorary 100th review goes out to Mike's Shave Ice for a reason! We always try to frequent and catch this truck whenever we get the chance to. It is melt in your mouth good and always hits the spot. If you're looking for good shave ice, skip the trip to hawaii and come here instead. So much better than matsumoto's in my opinion. We have been to the one in Fremont market and Renton a handful of times. Sometimes the line gets long but it goes by quick. I love the customer service, vibe, and one of a kind menu from this place! My go to order is usually the mango sago with ube ice cream. Perfect for a hot summer day.

(They also had the most amazing Oreo cheesecake I've ever seen in the display case!) Anyway, the bingsoo was amazing! The texture was similar to ice cream and the flavors were amazing. I also got mini mochi with mine and they were so good! However, just one mini bingsoo was around $12... The service: It did take roughly 15ish minutes to receive my food. They also forgot the mini mochi, but gave it to me when I asked and even gave me an extra little container of it! Which was super sweet of them. The environment: This is possibly the cutest building I've been in in a long time. The decor, the layout... all of it is fire. I love the plants they have at the tables and around the building!! The menu was also incredibly easy to read and understand. There are kiosks to order at and they have photos of each menu item (which was great because I originally wasn't sure what bingsoo was). There are plenty of tables, chairs, and room. There's only one single stall bathroom, however. Final thoughts: I really loved the bingsoo, it was delicious. I would love to come back for that cheesecake I saw in the display case... However, it is spendy so if I do indulge myself, it will definitely have to be only a rare treat. Also, the waiting time for my food was a little bit disappointing.

This came down to a price of $6.50 before tax, definitely less expensive than most other places that serve matcha as of late. Having a sip of it, I could see why; they don't use ceremonial-grade matcha and the drink left a thick coating inside my mouth (I was overhydrated that day fyi). The strawberry puree wasn't watered down by the milk but the strawberry tones tasted heavily artificial even with the chopped strawberries. The cup thankfully wasn't too small, and I could still finish my drink though I wasn't satisfied with the quality. It looks like they're more well-known - and well-reviewed - for their mango-based offerings and bingsu in general, so I'm taking this as a one-off visit and would still try to come back for their other stuff.

I walked up to the counter where two young guys were working and politely asked if we could get a different slice, since everyone else was already seated and eating. Instead of acknowledging me, they immediately started speaking Chinese to each other without even a simple "one moment" or any indication they were discussing the issue, so I eventually just walked back to our table. About five minutes later, after they had apparently consulted with a woman in the back, one of the guys finally came over and told us they would not exchange the slice because my husband had already tried it. We were all just sitting there, honestly dumbfounded. A basic level of customer service would have been to apologize and swap one slice of cake, especially when you have a whole group there to celebrate.
