While looking for a construction job-site, I found this shaved ice cream place. It is a small building, but the shaved ice is some of the best I’ve ever had. I’ve had Matsumoto, but upon trying this one, it has become my favorite. If you are a local, or a visitor, you must try this place, you won’t be disappointed.

Best shaved ice we’ve had! Nearly creamy texture, so good on a hot day. All the reviews don’t lie!

The best. Fluffy shaved ice with the traditional flavors.

I get the azuki/mochi/icecream with the milk flavor syrup.

Its so good.

Waiola Shave Ice is a classic spot with super smooth, finely shaved ice and tons of fun flavor options. It’s a great treat on a hot day and definitely a must-try in Honolulu! That said, the syrups can be really sweet — I’d recommend asking for “less syrup” or “less sweet” if you’re not into super sugary desserts. Still delicious, just a bit intense if you’re watching your sugar intake.

I had high expectations of this place, but I asked for the Custard bowl… Nothing like the menu photo! ‼️MISLEADING ADVERTISING ‼️⚠️

I will never return to this place.

The reviews aren’t exaggerating; when they say it’s soft, they mean SOFT! The ice literally melts the second it hits your tongue. The only downside is you have to enjoy it quickly on a hot day, or it’ll melt into a slushy puddle. The syrup was evenly spread, with no bland ice spots. Very delicious, and there are plenty of benches outside for seating!

When you think of Hawaii, shave ice comes to mind! You can enjoy it at many spots, but so far this place is the best. The ice is incredibly fluffy, and the azuki beans, condensed milk, and mochi are all amazing! Definitely a must-try. Although it’s “kakigori” brought from Japan, the shop is run by a family from Taiwan.

Came here after watching the Mark Weins Honolulu food tour video and it did not disappoint. Got condensed milk on some fruit flavors as well as the azumi bowl and both were very refreshing with well balanced flavors. There is also a small store selling their merchandise.

One of the best shaved ice on the island! We were lucky to come on a day that wasn’t too crowded. The service was friendly, the combinations offered were delicious and they have the cutest merch! This is on my list for stops to make when I’m in Hawaii. So ono!
