    Located in a kiosk at the cross streets of Kalakaua Ave. & Seasisde Ave., the 1,000+ Yelp reviews lured us in to try out their shaved ice. There is some seating at a nearby courtyard, but most people stood around and shoveled in their shaved ice quickly before it melted. THE FOOD. - Mango Shaved Ice | Got the kid size and kept it real simple; one flavor, no toppings. Honestly, the kid size was more than enough for me; I even shared some with my foodie sidekick. The shaved ice texture is notably smooth and slushy-like; no chunks of ice. Mango flavor is straightforwardly sweet with a mild, citrusy aftertaste. This is a great little snack when your body be sweatin' from humid weather. COMING BACK? I'd come back and try some of their more fancier shaved ice concoctions.

    Delicious and amazing - perfect after a day on the beach. The Hawaiian Rainbow is my favorite because it is like a sampler of all the great flavors: coconut, strawberry, mango, and pineapple. The mochi has fantastic elasticity. Highly recommend.

    When you visit Hawaii, shave ice is a must so this is where we got our fix. It's a little kiosk on the main street right outside the Royal Hawaiian Center, making it very visible because it is in a heavily trafficked area but also because there always seems to be a line! One weekday where the line was just 6-7 deep, I decided that this would be the day for shave ice. It didn't take too long before I was at the front of the line, ordering off of the iPad. I got a Heavenly Lilikoi and a Hawaiian Rainbow, though I swapped out one of the flavors. The ice had a very fine texture, nice and soft, the ice cream in the middle gave it a creamy touch of flavor. The mochi and boba were a nice change in texture and there was a good amount of syrup- not too much and not too little. A little bit pricey IMO but remember that you are in Waikiki... overall a good experience and solid shave ice!
