Badabingsu

AN HOUR WAIT?! Good thing we came prepared -- because they open at 12 PM, we made sure to be in the area prior to. We decided to have lunch in the area and wait in the car to kill some time. If you end up coming after opening time and the wait is already long, you can easily order first and then go eat something else, that way dessert should be ready after your actual meal. We were 2nd in line so the wait wasn't too bad (considering it looks like theres only one person working?) You get a buzzer and once it goes off, your bingsu is readyThe buggah is HUGE! It is practically flooding out of the bowl, which is why it's handed to you with napkins surrounding it. You can easily share it with 2-3 people. We got the Mango flavor and it was so delicious! It's not even mango season but they were so sweet and soft. The coconut ice was a different shape than I was expecting it; more crystal snow like? Does that make sense? No? I guess you'll have to go and see for yourself. But I loved every single bite and I wish I had more stomach space to try out the other fruit flavors. Kahuku is such a far drive but I know I'm coming back here the next time I'm in the area. It is worth every penny!

Refreshing and delicate sweet treat perfect for the hot summer days. Like what many of the other reviews said, there seems to be only one person running this place at once, so please be patient. Luckily, when we came by they weren't too busy so the wait was fairly reasonable.As you can see from the photo, the cup is overflowing so she hands it to you with napkins around it already. The bingsu is perfectly "not too sweet" and everything just went really well together with the haupia ice cream on top. The ice is soft and not "crunchy" like how it could be at some places. There are benches to sit right next to the order window with minor shade (depending on where you sit and where the sun is). Although this was good, I just feel like a bit more mango throughout the bingsu would've brought the whole thing together. Eventually you're left with majority milky ice cream, especially with the way the bowl is packed, you kind of have to eat the mangos first so it doesn't fall off everywhere.

Best dessert place ever, hands down! So flavorful, delicious and heavenly. The ice has a yummy flavor and they are extremely generous with toppings. I wish I could eat here all the time, if they weren't so far away from me. I'd be a regular if they ever decide to open up in town someday. I get the mango flavor and the fruit is always so delicious and sweet! Ice cream & syrup are the perfect amount. Sometimes it takes a bit to prepare but it is well worth the wait.

Goodness, I can't believe I was able to find such delicious bingsu in the land of shaved ice. I have nothing against shaved ice. But the soft, fluffy bingsu with heaping amounts of fresh fruit, topped with a scoop of ice cream, and drizzled with sweetened condensed milk on a warm Hawaiian day - paradise!

Check their IG page, before driving out, so that you can ensure you're there when they're there. Free parking located in the Kahuku Sugar Mill lot. And they're located right on the outskirts closest to the parking lot. Wooden benches and restrooms are located nearby. I would suggest ordering from this place first, grabbing your buzzer, and then going to grab a savory bite to eat from a patron nearby, then finishing off with this place for dessert. It took about 1.5 hours of wait time for us to receive our 1 item. We already anticipated the long wait prior to getting here, and the cashier apologized for the wait in advance when we were ordering, so that solidified our expectations. The mango bingsu that we got was topped full of mango pieces (it's a seasonal item, and may not always be available). Walk carefully or eat quickly because there are some pieces that never made it to consumption. The milk ice at some point became bland and chalky to me, I don't know if they use powdered milk for this item? Needless to say, the two of us didn't finish it all. I wouldn't say that it was bad, but I also don't know if I would wait in line for this item again. Perhaps we were waiting for the ice to freeze for it to be made? Or the machine that they use can only move so quickly, for the amount of demand/orders being taken. Either way, it's worth a try if you're looking for something different in that area.

So fresh and light! We were driving by north shore and we're looking for a new shave ice spot to try out and saw this spot not too far in Kahuku. The shop is a small trailer inside the plaza next to Seven Brothers. It's an inconspicuous little cart with a small menu of flavors including mango, strawberry, melona, and chocolate. All the options come with shaved milk, coconut ice cream and fresh fruit and a sweet drizzle. The Mango was all out today so we tried the strawberry and it was light and refreshing, not too sweet at all and just right! Can't wait to come back, crossing our fingers we get to try the Mango as it seems like their most popular flavor!

Fire shave milk! The toppings where so good. The mango was sold out but tried the strawberries. There was only one employee or the owner, she was quick but also busy! The place was a little hard to find but it's by the other food vendors by the Papi Tacos.

In a little trailer/stand in the Kahuku Sugar Mill, Badabingsu can be seen close to Seven Brothers and other restaurants. The menu options are not extensive and there are a few options such as mango, strawberry, melona, pineapple, and chocolate. It takes a bit for the employee to make the bingsu but it is pretty large! There are layers of ice, syrup, and fruit that make it possible for every bite to be sweet and flavorful. It was about $10 for one and it was enough to split between two people. There are some benches in front of the stand but not many so it might be good to be prepared to find somewhere else to eat your bingsu. It was super refreshing after going to the beach and a great stop before heading home!

Been meaning to go here for what feels like forever and finally made a dedicated point to come, and it did not disappoint- the milk ice was just as fluffy and creamy as I'd dreamed of, the fresh mango was so aromatic and juicy, and overall just a delightful, not-too-sweet treat. They're all one price (~$13) and size, so all you need to choose is the fruit or chocolate topping, and they're great to share with another person or two. Cute little food truck that is absolutely worth going to with every Kahuku pit stop. Stoked to try all the other flavors! :)

We made the long drive to Kahuku just to visit Badabingsu which came highly recommended by my good friends. Located next to the sugar mill & alongside many other food trucks. Lots of parking is available & we were able to find one easily on a Saturday afternoon with people coming and going. I ordered the mango bingsu and was not disappointed, it was heavenly! The ice was melt in your mouth soft and the mango sweet and fresh. The portion is large so 2 adults and a toddler were able to share it. There are lots of benches shared by the trucks to sit and eat with umbrella shade covering. The area is fairly clean with trash and a recycling bin. Service was friendly. We will definitely be returning!
