It comes loaded with a mountain of perfectly ripe, sweet, and juicy mango chunks over the fluffiest, finest snow ice that melts in your mouth. Topping it off with that creamy scoop of ice cream, mango drizzle, and a fresh mint leaf makes it as much of a visual showstopper as it is delicious. Every single bite is perfectly balanced and not overly heavy. An absolute treat that I'll be craving regularly!

By now, anyone who is a fan knows their food so rather than another review, some tips for securing that last taste. 1. They are in a cellular dead zone. All calls made to their number from a cell phone will fail to connect. You MUST call using a land line phone (those things plugged in the wall with physical buttons to press). BUT... 2. They do not answer their phone if they are busy helping customers. Good luck. SO... 3. Go early and order in person. Popular items like the roast pork and hamburger steak sell out by 10am. Others like the kalbi and pulehu shrot ribs by 11:30. 4. Be patient. The wait time is 45min - 1hr. It is accurate. Use the time to grab poke and drinks in neighboring Laie or Kahuku. It's all worth it. Same loaded plates. Same nostalgic taste. Same aloha delivered with a smile. One last time.

My personal favorite is the kalbi ribs. They've got that backyard BBQ taste that feels like a homecooked meal, and it's usually what I end up ordering. Simple, comforting, and it just hits. I also love grabbing food here and taking it down the street to eat at the beach. It's one of those meals that feels even better when you're eating it by the water. I just read that they may be closing soon, and if that's true, thank you for all the delicious meals over the years and wishing the team nothing but the best moving forward.

We got the ones with ice cream on the bottom of the shaved ice, then drizzled all over with condensed milk, and topped with whipped cream. It tastes just like the ones they make at Matsumoto's and Aoki's in Haleiwa... except way better and cheaper! The ice is really "shaved" and not chunky like some places make them. The whole family loved it so much we came back for more a couple days later. Save yourself some money and time standing in those long lines in Haleiwa and check out this place. You won't be disappointed.

We were welcomed into the small hole-in-the-wall restaurant in a neighborhood strip mall by a young woman named Telani. Telani could not have been more excited to tell us everything there was to know about the entire menu and the history of the family who owned it. Telani was so genuinely interested in us and asked question after question that made us feel like we were celebrities that had just walked into a small town diner. Telani is the star of this story, but I want to mention that the other two employees left a positive impression as well, amazing service is clearly a culture at this restaurant. Our shake took a little longer than usual because they were accommodating a young boy with a severe peanut allergy. At the end of our meal, Telani walked over and handed us a personalized postcard that she had written to commemorate our visit! This 17-year-old medical student at BYU Hawaii just put my own customer service expectations to absolute shame. I cannot wait to get back to my hotel staff and share this story and hopefully inspire them to start writing some postcards of their own. I've just finished writing one of my own. P.S. All the food was AMAZING! We got the Shez's paniolo burger, the Sterlings teriyaki burger, the paniolo fries, the banana bread, and a vanilla shake with Nutella and Oreo. Gonna have to hit the hotel treadmill hard tomorrow.

On top of that, it's overpriced--$7 for the base and an extra $1.50 per topping adds up quickly. The flavor selection is also pretty limited, which is disappointing given the cost.
