Five stars! Fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth shave ice, real-tasting flavors, and friendly service. I did mango + passion fruit with a Dole Whip top—unreal. Generous portions for the price. New go-to dessert spot.

Every time I come in, they’re friendly, fast, and genuinely care about the customers. They remember orders, offer suggestions, and keep the place running smooth even when it’s busy. Their customer service is top-tier — the kind of employees who make you actually want to come back.
Both Brian and Gabe consistently go above and beyond, and the shop is better because of them. They absolutely deserve recognition and a promotion.

It’s a dog eat dog dessert war zone over in sawtelle and Brian’s shaved ice is as much of a contender as any other. It’s simple, if you like shaved ice with tropical flavors, you go to Brian’s shaved ice. They are pleasant and the service is quick. I’d only every place locked in and specialized in one such speciality such as this.

one of the best shave ice places ive been to in cali! So good and the staff is so friendly. Parking can be a little tricky in the area, but the neighborhood has free 2hr street parking. I definitely want to come back if I’m in the area again!

My wife and I went here after lunch. She had strawberry ice cream I had the Lava man shave ice regular size. We love this place it reminds us of when we were in Maui.
We loved Bryan’s Shaved Ice in Japan Town, Los Angeles! It’s the perfect place to cool off on a hot day. The shaved ice is huge, definitely enough to share! With so many flavors to choose from. The kids really enjoyed it!
We also enjoyed the vegan soft serve; it was so creamy and delicious, Plus, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The prices were reasonable for the size and quality, and the laid-back vibe of the place perfectly matches the cheerful atmosphere of the neighborhood. If you’re in the area, you should stop by!

We love Brian’s Shave Ice! They have an amazing selection of flavors, and the Dole Whip was a delicious too! The staff at the counter were super friendly and helpful. The store is clean and has fun, welcoming decor. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area!
