Had to wait a couple minutes for the lady to finish someone's order (since it's only one person, be patient!) They gave me a buzzer and within 4 minutes my dessert was ready.

I will definitely be coming back another time to try more flavors.

The BEST bingsu I've ever had! Came here once before this trip and though Yelp said they were open,…read morethey were unfortunately closed. Finally came back a year later an hour after they opened and was so happy that they were open and ready to take orders. You place an order and they give you a buzzer for when your bingsu is ready. It took some time but it was well worth the wait! You can walk around the other restaurants/ food trucks while you wait. The mango was sweet and not tart whatsoever. The condensed milk evenly coated the ice and the ice was the softest texture. Each bite was heavenly and had me craving the next bite. If you have a sweet tooth, I highly recommend this spot!

Papa Ole's is a spot I heard about from a friend, and it hasn't disappointed me yet. It feels like…read morea small mom and pop type place that locals enjoy, which is always a good sign. 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.

The kalbi and pulehu are just about the same cuts of meats just a different marinade and you get to choose how you want it cooked. We got it medium rare. Kalbi is more like a sweeter Korean bbq and pulehu more smoky bbq. Meat was good and tender and shrimp was a nice creamy taste. Getting a bite of everything with the Mac salad is a must! Only downside is I tried to phone order in advance knowing they would be busy but I couldn't get the phone call through. We had to order once we got there and there was about an 1.5 hour wait for our order. The area is a dead zone for phone service so although they'll call to let you know your order is ready, you may not receive the call. But the wait was expected so we decided to go hang around the beach while waiting. There was a line of people wanting to order. I'd recommend to go early in the morning while they still have everything in stock because we got there at about 10:45AM and they had just sold out of their peanut butter rolls! It is cash only as well. Sad to see the business go but happy there is a lot of locals supporting them, giving fond farewells and wishing the Papa Ole's ohana the best!

Dare I say we were spoiled by the best on our first go?? Laura makes all her syrups herself from real fruit. We went with a towering mango, coconut, lilikoi, and lychee with coconut foam, and it was truly delicious to the very last drop. Bonus that we got to meet her very sweet senior doggo who was making the rounds on the patio. Love the truck and the woman behind the magic! Such a great find! Mahalo!!

This is the tastiest, most delightful shaved ice my family has ever had. My son demanded that I leave a 5 star review ASAP. Full of flavor with no shortcuts taken. Stop by, if it's nearby, stop by. And even if it's a drive and a little out of your way, stop by! You won't regret it. The cream on top isn't just the delicious coconut foam; each delightful bowl is served up with the kind nature and warmest aloha from Laura. We'll definitely be back.... In just a few hours even.

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.

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.

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.

We ordered the Spicy Shrimp and the Shrimp Scampi plates, and neither was impressive. The food came out almost instantly, which proves it is not cooked to order. Because it sits around, the shrimp is incredibly difficult to peel. Anyone who cooks shrimp knows that if you do not peel it right after cooking, the shell sticks to the meat, which was exactly the case here. The Spicy Shrimp had a decent kick, but it lacked actual flavor. The Shrimp Scampi was better but still bland. Honestly, 9 out of 10 shrimp places back home in Southern California make a better plate. To make things worse, the two ladies managing the truck were rude. My wife asked for extra napkins, not realizing some were already in the bag. The worker snapped back, "Are those not enough?" and made her feel super awkward. We also asked for a cup of ice to go with our canned sodas. They flatly refused and told us to ask another truck nearby. Luckily, the other truck owners were much nicer and gave us the ice. Save your time and money. There are much better, friendlier options out there.
