Shaved Ice Restaurants near Waipahu, HI

“Can’t drive by going to home in Kunia without stopping at my fav Shave Ice Stand! The magic is in the syrups which make all the difference in the world!! Delicious fruity and real flavors, not too sweet.
A bonus is the 2 cutest guys serving the heavenly 3choices you get! Mine are Lilikoi Tamarin and Lychee. The ice is super fine like frozen Angel Dust and has become my simple addiction.
There are really delicious add ons but I prefer mine simple. Prices are very reasonable and I highly recommend stopping. Located next to Malasada wagon in Waikele Shopping Center.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“A Must-Visit Poke Spot

I’d been looking forward to visiting this place for three days, and it was worth the wait. If you're exploring this part of the island, this spot is a must-visit. Just remember to plan your day around it, as they're only open from 11 am to 4 pm. You might want to skip breakfast so you can really enjoy your meal!

Easy to Find, Easy to Park

The restaurant is about a 16-minute drive from downtown Honolulu. While it's a bit tucked away, finding a parking spot is a breeze—they have a large parking lot, which is a big plus. The moment you walk in, you'll notice how incredibly clean it is. This instantly gives you peace of mind, especially since you’ll be enjoying fresh, raw ingredients.

Friendly and Helpful Service

The staff was great, and the cashier was very kind and patient with my questions. She was so dedicated to helping me that she asked her team for more details about the ingredients to make sure her answers were perfect.

The Food: Unforgettable Poke

I ordered a poke bowl for $16, which lets you choose two different types of poke. I went with the spicy ahi tuna with masago and the traditional Hawaiian poke. I also added some delicious toppings like seaweed salad, dried cod (Taegu), and pickled ginger for just $1 each—a deal that’s definitely worth it.
The portion size is huge, weighing over a pound, and the presentation was beautiful. The flavors were incredible—complex and layered. The seaweed brought a taste of the sea, the pickled ginger added a tangy kick, and the spicy tuna was perfect. The Taegu, a local dish with Korean roots, gave the bowl a savory, chewy texture that made it even better.

For a drink, I chose a local Hawaiian Sun juice. It’s a great option with natural flavors, but if you want to balance out the richness of the poke, a simple water works best.

The poke bowl here is one of the most flavorful and satisfying I've had on Oahu.

A Treat to End the Meal

I also tried the shave ice with mochi, vanilla ice cream, and condensed milk. While I found it a bit too sweet for my taste (which is pretty common for local desserts), the coconut banana flavor was amazing. The small size is big enough for two people, so consider sharing it. Even if you're not a shave ice expert, this is a great place to try it.

I spent $19 poke with add ons +1.5 drink + 11 shave ice with-add ons

Unfortunately if you need to use the restroom that do not have one so make sure that you are not in a hurry and not need one .“

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

“What a fantastic little place!! It's a little out of the way and tucked into a small space, but don't miss it!

The space is fantastic and well designed. Lots of colors and very bright. I felt great just being in there!!

The staff was amazing (I think it was the person that owned it). She was super nice, and very helpful! She was excited about her product and it showed. She asked me where we were from and hand a nice quick chat.

They explained that all the syrups were made by them and were natural. There was lots of fresh fruit included. It was wonderful and not overly sweet.

Price was pretty typical for the higher end shaved ice, but a good size and well worth it in my opinion.

Check this place out, I think you'll be glad you did! Thanks for the tasty treats!“

“Delicious flavor selection for both shave ice & ice cream. Staff is very down-to-earth & helpful when I asked about gluten-free options. Thanks for the amazing service, Gary & team!“

“great goodies and aloha spirit thrives here“

“amazing shave ice!!!! Best owner!“

“All I'm going to say is that the poke served here is severely underrated. I give the poke here a 10 out of 10. The poke here isn't drowned in sauce. Here the it's the fish that is the highlight of the poke. Also the fish is very very fresh. I should know I fish for a living. Highly recommended to eat 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.“

“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.“

“Delicious one of a kind toppings“

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

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

“Amazing resort! Great food! Friendly staff! Stunning landscaping!“

“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!“
