Shaved Ice Restaurants near Aiea, HI

“Real deal poke. Fresh and fantastic. Our favorite was Shoyu and also Spicy. One outdoor table for seating. I wish there was another option then to have it served in plastic. Paper bowls would be adequate and way more ecological than creating huge load of plastic waste with every meal.“

“Love their coconuts and the lady was really nice too! Anybody headed north should definitely stop here for a nice cold coconut“

“great goodies and aloha spirit thrives here“

“I cannot believe it took me over SEVEN years on island to finally eat here—like, how did I miss this?! This spot in Aiea is a total hidden gem and exactly what I’ve been craving ever since my trip to Singapore. It’s similar to mala tang in that you get to pick your own veggies, meats, seafood, etc. to build your soup. The broth options are a little different though—no mouth-numbing mala like you’d find at YGF Mala Tang—but honestly, I didn’t mind one bit.

The spicy pumpkin soup base was perfection: creamy, flavorful, with just the right kick. It didn’t overwhelm my palate or leave me feeling heavy, and it tasted cleaner (less oily) than other broths I’ve tried. If you’re into creamy soups, the pumpkin base is a must-try!

Service was solid too. They refilled my water without me asking and even let me choose my seat (I was the first customer before the evening rush lol). The space was roomy, spotless, and you can tell it’s a true mom-and-pop operation—genuine care for both the food and the customers.

I’m already planning to come back this week because I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin soup.

Oh, and if soup isn’t your thing (or if Hawaii’s heat has you craving something else), they’ve got chicken katsu with curry, stir fry, and other specialty dishes too.

VISIT. Seriously.“

“Delicious one of a kind toppings“

“Amazing Ice Cream and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Love this place!! Highly recommend to everyone!!!🌸☺️“

“I decided to try something different. I usually get the Ginger Milk Tea with Boba...but tried this Papaya Milk Tea, Ube Walls wit Boba...if you like Papaya, and Ube like ME...you will love this combo! yum!“

“It is the only store that my husband and I come back to buy again and again. you guys must try“

“Their portions are worth more than 5.00. Food and smoothies are delicious. Their dole pineapple whip is better than Dole Plantation. The staff at Ward/Kewalo basin are friendly and professional.“

“Awesome, unique, cute store that doesn’t have the same tourist crap as every other store. Prices are ‘Hawaii’ compared to the states, but it’s nice stuff. The staff we talked with were friendly and made us feel welcome! They even recommended a new place for lunch. For us, we found a new stop on our North Shore trips each vacation!“

“The owner was super nice and explained how everything is made in-house and which are popular. The lychee and strawberry+salty lemon are super delicious, full of fresh fruit, not too sweet, and filling. Both go super well with a scoop of ice cream! Would definitely recommend!“

“Truly feels like walking into someone’s house everytime. Aunties give each customer so much love and care and you can truly taste that love in the drinks.

Got to Mango Papaya Milk and Coconut Lychee, hits the spot everytime especially on those hot day!“

“I've been to the Waikiki area a few times the past couple of years and Haleiwa Town Shave Ice is ALWAYS on my places to visit. The shave ice is always top notch. Chris even remembers us every time that we come back! That memory, the customer service and the fantastic product keep us coming back. We always get an adult large shave ice with either macadamia nut or vanilla ice cream as a base and whatever syrups we're feeling for the evening. The plan is to visit them every night that we're here! They have a good selection of ice cream and a great combination of house made and natural flavors for syrups. The shave ice is always very light and airy. A great snack after any meal.“

“Loved the flavors! We had the Lilikoi Sour and the Kona Sunset.“

“Delicious and friendly staff! 😊“

“Hands down the best shaved ice on the island. If you’re thinking about trying other places like we did, don’t. Just buy it from here always. Even the service is impeccable! Thank you for being so good that we had to think about it every night.“

“My family and I LOVE the matcha ice cream here! Super delicious and satisfying on any day in Hawaii nei! If you like matcha this is thee best place to go! Next time i plan to try the hojicha flavor ice cream, or float or tea... There's not many places to sit and eat here, but if it's not too crowded you can find a spot.“

“As always the best thing to cool you off on a hot summer’s day is Shave Ice from Shimazu’s“

“I was lucky enough to be gifted the Bibingka Brownies by a family member. And omg, it was a flavor explosion in my mouth. Moist, not too sweet, delectable and perfect!!!! I looked up this business and saw all the unique ice cream pie and ice cream cake flavors and am planning a trip to Honolulu soon to taste everything on the menu!!! They have such innovative and exciting flavors, I can’t wait to put them in my mouth!!!!“

“Our first authentic shave ice and it blew away our expectations! Delicious, fresh, and the best sweet treat!“

“This place is literally a dream and very worth the price. - must stop in Waikiki“

“Best shave ice we found on Oahu. We walked from the zoo end every night just for Lahaina shave ice. Made the mistake of trying a different place one night and quickly learned our lesson. Hands down the only place to go“

“My family & I checked out this ice cream shop in the Chinatown district in Oahu, while visiting from California, and we are new fans! My two sons enjoyed a strawberry & chocolate ice cream, & I had me their delicious “black sesame” ice cream. The black sesame is a must try! All their ice cream are handmade & creamy with a lovely taste that will want you to go back for more.“

“The fruit toppings are fresh and delicious. Mango and honeydew are our favorites.“

“amazing shave ice!!!! Best owner!“

“Split a BBQ Beef and Vietnamese Sandwich with my girlfriend and they were excellent. Very authentic Vietnamese banh mi (I wish we had this still back where I live) and the family that owns the restaurant were very friendly. Thank you for the meal and happy new year!“

“Love the staff!! Mahalo for great customer service! I went back again. 😂“

“This place is great. People are wonderful you have to have the Aunt Anecia (nene) frito chilli pie. Can’t wait to go back. All the love and mahalo“

“Hi!
Mountain Magic Shaved Ice is hands-down one of the best dessert spots around. The place is always clean and welcoming, and the shaved ice itself is perfectly prepared—fresh, fluffy, and clearly made with care. The flavors are absolutely wonderful, with so many options that never disappoint no matter what you choose. On top of that, the customer service is truly amazing: friendly, upbeat, and always making sure you leave happy. Mountain Magic never misses—they’re consistent every single time. Honestly, it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back every hour because it’s just that good. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a refreshing treat and a great experience.“

“It is the only store that my husband and I come back to buy again and again. you guys must try“

“I love to walk here when I'm taking a long walk. The service is great as are the drinks. I like to get the papaya smoothie and add boba and the boba is perfectly made. It also doesn't freeze with the drink, so it's delicious to the last sip. The atmosphere is cozy as it is just an ordering window, but there is a place to sit if you're looking for a reprieve from the sun or your walk.“

“Shaved ice so "fine" with a wide variety of flavors and add-ons 👍🏻 very consistent and never fail to delight. Also reasonably price. Service with a smile and so accommodating. Parking at times a challenge so go in the muddle of the day.“

“My Mom currently stayed at Tripler Hospital X2 in the past month and all she talks about is the apple juice , so when I flew in again I took a pic of the small cup and found you guys! She only wants this apple juice my brother and sister have bought a case of minute maid and treetop and she won't drink it so I had to find this place!!! THANK YOU! WILL PICK UP TODAY A CASE I ORDERED.“

“Friendly staff, AYCE is awesome for $20!! My friends and I had a blast!“

“Love the staff!! Mahalo for great customer service! I went back again. 😂“

“Marlenes reality Super Cuts and times market one stop shopping⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very clean and reasonable price ! Lots of selections.“

“👍🏻 very good“

“They need to make the sign of the restaurant a little bigger because everyone needs to know about this store. The portions are HUGE for the prices and the food is so good. The owners are viet-chinese and that really shows in their flavors. I highly recommend asking them what their specials are and ordering that.

It's a mom and pop shop and I support those.“

“Thank you for your attentive and friendly service! Everyone loved the halo halo. Highly recommend for your next party!“

“Drinks are perfect to enjoy at the nearby beach, and the beach here is just perfect. The service I received that day was absolutely top tier and she refused to take a tip. I insisted and reluctantly managed to get her to accept it. She absolutely earned it thank you so much.“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“We love the flavor selections, but seem to always go with our favorites regardless. The butter pecan is so creamy and the chocolate macadamia is rich in the chocolate. Ono.“

“Best ice cream shop in town. Freshly made. Crave for more. Flavor favors.“

“It’s a pretty basic meal not the fanciest but a great bargain for Waikiki. I ordered though Uber eats and got the spicy shrimp with crispy chicken under a two for one deal. It was $20 for two plates, which is unheard of in Waikiki nowadays.“
