If you are looking at this review on Yelp, wondering if you should try this place out - the answer…read moreis a resounding YES! Stop thinking and just go, you won't regret it! My family and I stayed in the area for a few days and of all the food we ate during our trip, this was one of our favorite. My mouth is watering just thinking about the medley of fries, steak, chicken with their heavenly sauces drizzled over the top. If I recall correctly it was around $20 for the Double Shaka Fries, which is extremely reasonable given the sheer quantity and quality of food you get - particularly in this location. If you do get the double Shaka Fries like I did, you'll be full when you are about halfway through. You're not going to stop though because it tastes too spectacular. My wife was also impressed by her order of teriyaki chicken. If I lived in the area, I would visit this establishment on a regular basis.

It was not worth the money. My boyfriend got a cheeseburger and he said it was delicious. He also got the fries that have tri-tip and chicken. The chicken was dry and burnt. The fries were cold.

Nothing but good things to say about this place! Everything is extremely high-quality, including…read morethe ice that they get from Japan. The strawberry sauce is incredible, and the ice cream and cream are also so good! I've come another time and tried their regular strawberry kakigori and the Halo Halo special. The strawberry Kumo and strawberry kakigori are both 12/10 The Halo Halo was maybe an 8/10, but still very good! Definitely one of my favorite dessert spots!

We ordered a Strawberry Shaved Ice, Banana Strawberry Chocolate Parfait and a Mochi Cloud Cone. Everything tasted delicious. Ingredients tasted fresh and while it was sweet, I feel like it wasn't overly so. The parfait had cornflakes along with fruit (bananas, strawberry, mandarin orange and a cherry). I was unsure about the cornflakes, but it actually worked adding another texture to the parfait. Everyone else enjoyed their dessert. There were a total of 5 in our party and it was more than enough to share. The have plenty of other options including dairy free, Kawaii Cups, GO TO cups, and drinks. The decor is cute. My group loved the art of various desserts liked shaved ice hanging around this little dessert cafe. We all enjoyed the art they put in their tables as well. Our favorite was probably the table with the ducks surrounding the polar bear. There is a fair amount of seats and tables were clean. Service was good, the ladies here were quite friendly. With the amount of detail and careful attention they put, I would say everything came out pretty quickly. One negative I can think of is the parking situation. The Convoy area can get very busy and parking can become scarce. They have a small amount of parking and do charge after 2 hours (if I'm not mistaken). It looks misleading because if you aren't paying close attention (and read the sign) you may just download the app and pay for parking when you don't need to. The only other negative I can think of is pricing. It is a little pricey here, but what isn't these days. I would say that portions are decent and most desserts could probably be shared. We like this place and will definitely return. 4.5 / 5: Desserts 4.5 / 5: Service 4 / 5: Cleanliness 4.3 / 5: Overall

For years I've wondered why this isn't a thing elsewhere besides Hawaii. It is so good! We decided to stop here after an e-biking adventure through Oceanside. We got several of the special types of shaved ice (though you can build your own flavor selection) and they were all really good. The bigger sizes were really huge! Things were so tasty I missed actual pictures of the shaved ice but did grab a pic of the outside. They've also done a good job capturing the Hawaiian style inside and even have pog you can get! Nice clean modern ambiance overall. Service was quick even though there were tons of people in line! Overall would totally recommend for a tasty summer treat in Carlsbad!

It was definitely worth the price for the amount you get. For taste, I think all the flavors are super artificial (i mean afterall it is syrups) but normally it doesnt bother me and for this it was just really strong fake taste especially of their ube flavor. I do think the sweet cream complimented it very nice and I liked it all when I mixed the ice cream in. The blend was extremely pleasant. I also really appreciated how patient the staff were when I was looking at the menu they were kind about letting me fully look through it all. Id say this is a good place to go with chill vibes and after a long summer day on the beach. Perfect cool down snack

I thought this place was just overpriced for the location however when I got my order my jaw literally dropped. This thing was huge! Super worth it for the price I think, you could easily share this between three people. Also for people with nut allergies, this place does not guarantee an allergy-free environment since they serve all their items with the option of adding peanuts. The waffle cones are stored with pre-dipped peanut cones as well. However, since my boyfriend is allergic to peanuts, I asked if they had any more waffle cones in the back that haven't been sitting in the same case as the peanut cones. They said yes and happily dipped me a new sprinkles cone for good measure. Very happy with their service :) Took off 1 star bc the soft serve is pretty thin and icy, not so much creamy. I'm a big ice cream fan though it might be good enough for most folks!

The Hilo Loco was so flavorful and comforting and the Jr. boy has the perfect amount of sweet & savory items. THE FRENCH TOAST WAS SAUR GOOODDD!!! but the Portuguese sausage wasn't our favorite so the next time we came we asked to switch it for spam which made it a 10/10 for me!
