Stansbury Shaved Ice Shack

Terrible service. Stood there for a while as they were playing on their phones and they wouldn’t help me. I opened the window and Claire got an attitude about it. If you don’t want to help the customers then just close the shack.

The shaved ice itself is decent. It’s not magical but it’s not necessarily missing anything major. I like the options to add snow cap and ice cream. There are a ton of flavor options and combos. The pricing is decent and there’s lots of size options.

My problem is that every time we have been the wait is looooonnnggg. It shouldn’t take a half hour to get a snow cone, but we’ve been multiple times and it always takes around 25-35 min after ordering to get our snow cones. I’m not sure if it’s the staff or the machines. I just feel that you shouldn’t be waiting for a snow cone as long as you’d be waiting for a table at Chili’s.

There’s also no place to sit and wait so you have to stand in the hot sun the whole time. Just adding a canopy with some benches would at least make the wait bearable. I always have my toddler with me and though he is well behaved, it just makes for a long time for him to be still while he is so excited for his special treat.

The snow cones are good, but the wait is just not worth it most of the time.

It was great! My only complaint is the neon sign doesn’t make sense.
“Shave ice, yes you, maybe”
It should say something like “Shaved ice? Always!” Or “Shaved ice? Yes, please!”

People are nice and lots of options. The problem is that all 4 kinds we ordered were not flavorful. They are colorful, so it looks like they used lots of flavoring, but they all tasted watered down. I'm wondering if their syrups just aren't a very good kind? We won't be back.

Are you aware that your phone number goes to a Marco’s Pizza? You might want to change that.

Closed 20 min. early. 4 females sitting inside black curtains closed just running out the time until it actually closes. Very frustrating and kids disappointed.

Price point is better than the other places but there is no flavor. Just tastes like plain ice.

One of the more interesting shaved icebplaces we tried, with a good variety of flavors and toppings. The servings are a good size and the presentation is gorgeous. The line can be long but it moves pretty quickly. Only negative is that is pretty pricey...

It was an average. The pictures look amazing but the serving size is very small and there was hardly any toppings were added.

The reason I gave it only a three rating is because the last two times I went the ice cream in the shaved ice tasted bad as if it spolied. Otherwise you go to a tablet place your order, pay and wait to pick up. The product itself is good for Waikiki but doesnt come close to the local places on the island. If in Waikiki this is a somewhat good choice as long as the ice cream is good.

Best shaved ice on the island, true fruity flavours with a real quality to it, my favourite one I tried my whole trip!

Great flavor, great items, shave, not shaved, ice is full of flavor. You can get it with yogurt or ice cream. Boba toppings and more. Split one with your date. Enjoy

We visited this establishment three times during our stay in Waikiki. The first time we had the Hawaiian rainbow, the second time we created our own shave ice dessert, and the third time we had the soft ice cream. Each dessert was yummy! Check out this establishment for shave ice if you're in the Waikiki area.

The Old Lady is always on a never-ending-quest for good shave ice and was given this location by a hotel employee who swore by it. Having been to many places, this is now her go-to spot on Oahu. She walked there every single day we were in Waikiki and says eating their shave ice just makes her feel happy. Happiness in a bowl, what a find! Don't be daunted by the line, it is well worth the wait. Best shave ice on Oahu.

Been going here for years. It's my favorite place for snow cones on a hot day. Horchata is surprisingly good as a snow cone flavor.
