Me personally as a picky eater, these shave ice flavor were amazing! Me and my children each shared a flavor, Grape, Orange creamsicle, and banana, the flavors were super good and I even heard that they are homemade. So out of all this Shave I've experience was worth the drive all the way from Laie.

Icy, milky, n' a variety of textures, that all work so yuMmm-ILY together!" SERVICE: fast, came when there was only a few people in line INTERIOR: n/a EXTERIOR: order through the window, floor beneath The Alley/Aiea Bowl, same level as McDonald's WAIT TIME: 5 mins before placing order, another 5 mins to receive shave ice PARKING: free lot, have shaded garage OVERALL COMMENTS: note that they are CASH ONLY. Have a lot of pre-set items on the menu or you can build your own. My go-to is their #7 bc I like to have both mochi balls n' flan, while keeping the shave ice simple. Best eaten when you have a bit of flan + the shave ice to have the perfect balance of sweetness. If you eat the top part of the shave ice alone, you won't get the full sweetness. The flan, mochi, n' shave ice give all the textures. Definitely a great treat on a hot day!

We stop by every-time we are in the area! Ice is fine and…read moremelts fast but syrup is a little on the sweeter side, which is why we prefer the Milk flavor with mochi balls, custard and Oatmeal. Yes - this is not your typical shave ice combo but is definitely worth a try if you go since I haven't seen the combo anywhere else! This is a walk up establishment however tables are outside to the right (in the breezeway to the mall) Come prepared with CASH ONLY!

I know I've passed it many times on the way to Makaha beach and Pray for Sets. A friend had recommended this place and since we were close by, we decided to drop in. From the moment we entered, we felt like valued guests. The employees were friendly, hospitable, and were super thankful for our business. I ordered rainbow with ice cream and azuki beans. Loved the fact that they use Dave's ice cream (and not the cheap stuff that's probably not even ice cream). The ice is powdery and snow soft and melts in your mouth! The ratio of syrup to ice is just right - it was not overly sweet like some other places. Prices are also SUPER reasonable compared to other tourist places. They also sell aloha wear and accessories, making this place a one stop shop for all your local needs. Definitely make the trip to Makaha to get some delicious shaved ice then walk across the street to enjoy it on the beach.

Absolutely LOVE this dessert place!…read more They're located in Pearlridge Mall (small kiosk next to the food court) and I believe they have another location in Mililani area. I live and work in town and I rarely leave town, but just to visit this place again, I drove all the way out here to get another dessert from them! The staff is so cute and friendly and their fruits are relatively fresh! It's a pretty sizable cup of ice wave and it's definitely a shareable size, but I can easily finish it myself because it's so good! This is one reason why I leave town. I'm really hoping they open one in town soon. It's also great to support local businesses! I'll be visiting this place sometime very soon again!

I went with the mango and coconut combo. The mango was delicious, as always, but the coconut was far more subtle and ended up getting overpowered by the bold mango flavor. I'd probably order them separately next time. Despite the enjoyable shave ice, I knocked down a star for because of the lack of ventilation. The interior is actually a lot nicer than the one in town, but for some reason, it was pretty stuffy in there and the air was stale. It made for an uncomfortable dine-in experience.

Parking lot is a decent sized considering they share with a Korean Restaurant but we tend to park by the Laundromat and walk over. Staff is always friendly even when it tends to get crowded. There's a couple of tables inside along with bar/stool seating. They also offer a stamp card and take cash and card.
