Our usual shaved ice place is closed on Sundays, and a quick search led us to Hokulia. This place…read moreis great. They sell shaved ice, ice cream, and smoothies. I had a simple short board (small) shaved ice with strawberry colada syrup. The ice was perfectly snowy, not hard and crunchy. The syrup had serious flavor and was very satisfying. Two persons in our party tried the ice cream and had good things to say. There are so many options in this shop that it will require repeat visits.

Really awesome little joint! It's a bit out of the way for me, but worth the drive. The shaved ice…read moreis awesome and they put plenty of syrup on it and the ice cream is awesome! The person at the counter was also super sweet and offered us a thorough tour of the menu, which was super helpful. Prices are also pretty reasonable for being a small business. 10/10! I'll almost certainly be back :)

I've been seeing a lot of reviews of this new boba and bao buns space, and I'm glad to report that…read morethose reviews are true! I got a milk tea with boba and the custard bao buns (they were too cute to resist!). Really liked how you can customize your drink by choosing ice and sweetness levels. The custard buns were warm, the custard wasn't overly sweet, and overall had a nice balance. Definitely planning to return soon to try the pork bao. When I went it was a single person working, he was really nice, but it can be a little wait if there is a crowd.

I think I will be dreaming about the fruit sticks (Tanghulu) for awhile. They have such a great…read morecrunch and are so delicious. I normally don't like boba, but the strawberry boba pieces were absolutely delicious. The boa buns were savory and satisfying. The restaurant was small, but quiet. I definitely want to come back and try the shaved ice as well.

The attention to detail and decor in the space is very fun and thoughtful, with a photo booth and plenty of pictures of their offerings! There is also plenty of seating in the space, and it seems to be kept clean. My friends and I always make sure to get a bingsu and at least one other dessert, we especially love the taiyaki! I would definitely recommend sharing a bingsu, as it is pretty large to eat by yourself. Additionally, they have a wide array of offerings on the menu, and plenty from drinks to ice cream and other desserts.

I got the shaved ice cream here! Matcha flavor…read more First off I will say you should bring at least 1 other person here. Don't be like me and come alone! This is a huge portion of ice cream. You could probably split one among 4 people. It's also a cute place to hang out, pretty pastel and wood cozy interior. I really liked the shaved ice cream! The texture was light and fluffy and while it reminds me of bingsoo, it's creamier because it's cream instead of milk I think? Overall it ended up being quite rich, especially with all the whipped cream, and the matcha flavor is a little too sweet. Next time I'll probably try a fruity flavor (and bring friends). I think this place is worth trying at least once! Really unique ice cream that I haven't seen or tried elsewhere.

This truck specializes in one thing and they do that one thing very, very well. Sno-Balls!!…read more I've only been able to track them down twice and I'm debating whether or not to share the location because I kind of want the Sno-Balls all to myself... The first time I had the Peach Cobbler Sno-Ball and it was literally the best shaved ice I had ever had! (and I'm a huge shaved ice connoisseur). The 2nd time I had the Orange Dreamsicle Sno-Ball and it was equally as delicious. When I order at the window, I always ramble and mush and shower them with compliments because the owner is just so sweet. He always has me try my Sno-Ball in front of him to ensure that I love it. Please, please, please get a Twitter or Facebook profile so I can visit you more often and not just the occasional times you've shown up at First Fridays.

Heck! Yeah! So I'm…read morewalking home from the bars yesterday, and notice that the typical food trucks on Main street are not there, and there's something random in it's place... A New Orleans Style Sno-Ball truck! On a hot day like this, that's PERFECT! So, they do one thing. But they do it WELL. The shaved ice is so soft and easy to eat with a spoon. The flavors are delicious, and they put enough in so that the entire cup (which is huge btw) tastes great. We went with two of the specialty flavors: Grandma's Custard and Peach Cobbler. Both were killer, but Peach Cobbler is the winner in my book. It was sprinkled with cinnamon, which I think is a great touch. Another great touch? The low price! I can't recall how much it was, but certainly affordable. The guy was nice, which is always a bonus. He said that he is usually set up at First Fridays and then in the Bottoms for First Weekends. So far no web presence, Twitter, or Facebook, so hunting the guy down seems to be a challenge. But if you see this truck, I implore you to go treat yourself to a Sno-Ball!
