    A tourist staple. A pineapple frozen drink in a pineapple with an orchid and a straw. If you want that photo, get it. The juice is kinda refreshing too, on a hot day, but hard to carry since it's a giant pineapple.

    Passion fruit lemonade

    Very refreshing lemonade here. I ordered the passionfruit lemonade and sat on the bench right on the front and just took the views. I asked for a light ice. The sweetness was probably about a seven out of 10.

    On vacation, we saw some people with big pineapples and we decided to try it!! At first i thought that it could be like a pina colada, it wasn't. We try the pineapple, and the coconut... definitely refreshing, a bit pricey but i enjoyed my pineapple...

    Shaved Ice-Pineapple and Blue Vanilla
    Shayna H.

    I went to four shaved ice places on my trip to Hawaii. The Wakiki Grass Shack had my favorite flavor of all of the flavors I tried. The blue vanilla was so good I kinda wish I had done the whole thing as blue vanilla but instead I split it with another flavor, pineapple. It was still good but the blue vanilla was literally sensational. It's a small location on the beach. The Apple Maps has the location incorrect so I almost didn't find it. It's located on the side of the street where the beach is. It was so nice to just be outside and cool off with a shaved ice.

    I didn't try the food but I was happy with what I got. I got the pineapple drink no alcohol but it was refreshing. It was about 20 bucks. It had pineapple and ice cream and I asked for added condensed milk for an extra dollar. The young ladies at the counter were nice but a little distracted - talking about gossip about some guy calling her on the phone, I'm pretty sure there was no condensed milk or ice cream in it. I should hsve went back to clarify but I wanted to go back to my room and didn't feel like walking but since I didn't taste it until I was halfway to my hotel. It was still good but I would just make sure to ask next time to make sure it was done.

    Coconut dream
    Christy R.

    This is a must visit cute hidden gem in Waikiki Beach. This is the perfect tropical treat while overlooking the ocean. This drink did not taste like the typical coconut drink that usually has a light texture. It had a thick texture which resembled an arroz con leche (rice pudding) texture with a subtle sweetness. The pineapple was fresh. Nonetheless it was good and refreshing!

    I would have gave this place a 5 star if they served alcoholic beverages. A small shack that served non-alcoholic beverages, sandwiches/snacks location on the beach. Just a place to grab a quick simple bite if you got hungry while on the beach. Great place just to sit and relax. The pineapple drink I was having cost $15.00.

    Everything was great and they were very friendly definitely will come back again for all of our drinks. Nice summer refresher

    We have walked by this place so many times and never stopped. Glad we finally did! This was arguably the best poke we had on the island. It is very simple and doesn't offer many add ons.. probably because it doesn't need it! Awesome place to grab a quick bite and sit by the beach to enjoy.

    Large rainbow shaved ice right on the beach. The ice is more crunchy than fine, and they only offer a snow cap and li-hing as toppings, but it's reasonably priced for how big it is ($5.95), and is so convenient to the beach.

    Try the coconut dream! So yummy, creamy, and refreshing. It's served in cute coconut-shaped container with a little umbrella and flower. I wish they served a version of it with alcohol. They close pretty early, so I wish they stayed open later, too.

    Sad shaved ice. Rude customer service and the ice is crunchy not soft fluffy shaved ice. Go across street for a much better treat.

    Small stand with non-alcoholic drinks steps from the beach. The shave ice was good, about 10 oz of ice for $6.

    Situated right off the parking lot before entering the Ala Moana food court. We skipped it at first…read morethen decided to try it after everyone was done eating inside. On the way back to the car we saw it again and decided to try the Strawberry Bingsu. Our party shared the bowl and loved it so much we decided to also try the Mango Bingsu. It was the perfect amount of fruits and sweetness to cool us down in the muggy afternoon weather. Good service. Clean dining area. Cute decor. Wish we had more time to try other desserts but we will definitely visit again when we're back in town!

    Good: Ordering is easy using a kiosk which provided clear instructions to the user. Quick service,…read moreeven near closing. At 8:30 pm, the place was packed, which is a great sign. Standard generous portion for a bingsu location, notably generous for an Ala Moana location. The location itself was free of insects despite being on a ground floor location with sugary desserts everywhere. Meh: The $14 (including 15% tip) dessert tasted too light and ice-like and appeared more translucent (rather than opaque white) than expected, leading me to think the milk was watered down, which may be how the establishment can make up the cost for the portion size while maintaining a spot in Ala Moana, especially given milk prices in Hawai'i, even if you're buying from Costco or direct from farmers. Also, tables were not cleaned after each party departed; that transparent puddle on your table might not be condensation and may instead be drool drops from the toddler who sat there before you. Overall: Good (not outstanding) experience. Knocked off 2 stars for combination of suspected diluted milk + unclean tables.

So I looked on Yelp and was able to find this location of Uluani's which, while close to Waikiki, is not in the chaos of Waikiki. In any case, for my shave ice on this day I went with an ulu and chose lilikoi and coconut as my two flavors. My father also went with an ulu and chose grape, lime, and coconut as his flavors. The ice here was shaved super thin and, as usual, I loved the flavors. The coconut at Uluani's is creamy with a nice coconut flavor while the lilikoi is both sharp and sweet, which makes for a great combo. My father also enjoyed his combination, which included flavors I had never tried from Uluani's before. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. As I have stated in other reviews before, I consider Uluani's to be the standard for shave ice and this visit only reinforced that.

    Not for us! Have…read morebeen ordering shave ice almost all my life and the people behind the counter were confused on what I was ordering... strange!
