About Uncle's Shave Ice

Uncle's Shave Ice is located in a nice outdoor mall setting. The shave ice is the standout offering, described as a slice of paradise and a must-try. The ice is very fine, fluffy, and soft, melting in the mouth for a smooth texture. It is far more than a generic carnival snow cone. The vibrant, refreshing, and unique tropical flavors include Island Nectar, Noka'ai, Lilikoi, Guava, Melon, Lychee, and coconut. A popular choice is to add a cream cap. The real highlight for many is the macadamia nut ice cream hidden at the bottom, which is creamy, rich, and perfectly balances the fruity shave ice. Portions are large, often big enough for two people to share, though there is noted to be little seating available for sharing. The honey toast is another menu item; it is huge, with good ice cream and good honey flavor, though some feel it has too much toast relative to ice cream.

Service receives mixed feedback. Some customers report good, quick, friendly, and warm service, while others describe staff as seeming burnt out, unwelcoming, or giving bad service with one-word answers. The shop allows only one group inside at a time, which some find a little weird. Value opinions vary; some find the shave ice worth it, while others call it very expensive. Overall, it is considered a decent or good stop, with many saying they will be back, though some feel it is not worth going out of your way for unless the recipe for certain items is tweaked.
