I ordered a shave ice with mango and lilikoi syrup, topped with sweet cream and mochi balls. It was a solid shave ice, and I liked the syrup flavors. I also got to try their lychee syrup, which was probably my favorite. The sweet cream was a light drizzle, so I actually didn't taste much of it. They also gave maybe 10 mochi balls? At 50 cents a pop, the added toppings weren't worth it, in my opinion.The shave ice tasted good though, and the price was reasonable at $6. The service was friendly and quick, and there is a nice backyard seating area next to the water with plenty of space and shade.

FLAVOR (5/5): Solid shaved ice here, loved the flavors and the texture of the ice itself. Only wish that their mochi was better but it's the standard ones you get anywhere so can't complain too much! INSTAGRAM WORTHY (5/5): The bowls come out super cute. The shop itself is very small but very aesthetically pleasing. If you walk out to their back portion is absolutely breathtaking as it opens up to a body of water, it's of green open space and patio seating! Super lush. SERVICE (5/5): Decided to go here instead of Matsumoto because we had Big Wave Shrimp for lunch and they have a discount if you visit this shaved ice place after and we're so glad we did! The workers aren't the quickest with producing the bowls but everyone was really friendly! TAKEAWAYS: You might see some small green friends when enjoying your cold dessert. Don't forget to check out the open space in the back!

Wow, this place is a must especially for first timers of Hawaiian Shave Ice. The whole vibe of this place feels like a true island vacation. I got a half and half shave ice of strawberry and mango with macadomian nut ice cream in the center topped with sweet cream. It was a melty, fruity, creamy and nutty dream in even scoop.

Kaimana shaved ice is a great place for shaved ice if youre up in the north shore. Their ingredients are natural and aren't overwhelmingly sweet which is a breath of fresh air compared to other shaved ice places. I highly recommend trying the North shore combo if you do make it here. Kaimana also offers a very beautiful and serene outdoor eating area as well. I highly recommend.

Kaimana Shaved Ice was everything I expected and more. I've had shaved ice before, but never like this. The ice was so soft and immediately melted in your mouth. Unlike the typical shaved ice that's more like crushed ice, this was perfect, and the flavors truly hit the spot. I was bummed that they had just run out of macadamia nut ice cream, but other than that, the vanilla ice cream and other flavors came together nicely.The location is small, but the outside backyard is huge with seating right by the lake. I enjoyed my shaved ice while watching the birds, trees, and river. It even started to drizzle a little while we were there, but it was perfect. They have many flavor options, so you can't go wrong. Ordering is easy and any questions you have, the girls at the counter will answer.

A must stop for us on the way back from the North Shore. It doesn't have the renown of Matsumoto's or Aoki's but that is honestly a feature, not a bug. Never have long lines here and parking in the adjacent lot is convenient. Prices are affordable if not cheap for quality, yummy shave ice. Love that they do natural flavors here. The kid insists on rainbow shave ice wherever we go and while that's not on their menu, they made a reasonable facsimilie with pineapple, strawberry and blueberry; wifey shared with him and ordered a scoop of mac nut ice cream inside. For me, went with my go-to lilikoi and lychee.The team here is so welcoming and friendly; they make you feel at home. Highly recommend sitting in the back area by Helemano Stream if you can brave the mosquitoes, it's so peaceful and serene. We opted to eat out front the last few times because wifey is usually mosquito bait.

This place is FANTASTIC! not only is the shaved ice absolutely delicious and perfectly fluffy and light to the point of being as creamy as ice cream, but the toppings really make this a perfect cool treat on a muggy day. I had to stop myself from going back for another one immediately. The service is super friendly and they're very quick with getting your order to you and once you got it you can go out their side door to outdoor seating and enjoy a lake front view to lounge about and enjoy your treat. We are 100% coming back here on future trips. 10/10 and we think so far this is the highlight of our trip so far.

Skip the line at you know where and try Kaimana. I like my shave ice really smooth and not really chunky ice.A small store front where you can order and enjoy your shave ice on some seats out front or in their courtyard in the back. My small suggestion is I wish they had some music playing inside. Husband got the sunset and I got the strawberry mango mix with Mac nut ice cream. Nice treat after visiting some shrimp trucks

The lilikoi & mango flavors are so refreshing. The mac coconut ice cream is full of mac nut flavors. Super friendly service. When you're on the north shore & want something refreshing on a hot day.

Decided to try something different than Matsumoto (plus the line was way too long there). Kaimana is a cute cozy shop located on the main strip. Parking is easy, staff is super friendly. The most amazing thing is that you can enjoy Kaimana Shave Ice in the huge, tranquil space behind the store. The greenery, the creek, and the picnic bench is truly perfection for afternoon snack. While Matsumoto makes you feel like a five-year-old in the candy store with all their vibrant colors and overly sweet syrups, Kaimana feels like a dreamy young adult. They have some unique flavors such as cold brew, and Li Hing Mai powder. I got the Sunset combo- Mango, strawberry, mochi balls and vanilla ice cream. Normally I really like Mochi, but I didn't love the mochi balls here. It felt like hard chewy gummies. The shave ice was fluffy and very fine, which probably made it melt super fast as well. My shave ice melted within a minute, while I was still taking photos lol.
