North Shore Shave Ice

I'm so confused why this is currently at 3.7 stars. This was my fav shave ice on Oahu this trip and I've gone to Matsumoto's and Island Vintage! The ice was the softest of the three and was a generous size (although you're only allowed one size and it's basically a large). We got the Hawaiian style shave ice for $7 which gives you 3 flavor choices and vanilla ice cream at the bottom and added condensed milk for $1. I'd say this is a pretty great deal for the quantity and quality compared to the others we'd been to. For our flavors we chose passionfruit, pineapple, and coconut which we thought was a tasty combo! We'll defs be back especially after snorkeling around North Shore!

okay so it tasted really good. the quality was there, and I feel like they did a good job. but one thing I really was disappointed in was they didn't have the blue hawaiian flavor (vanilla and coconut). the guy said they did and a few minutes later he came out and said they didn't have it. kind of disappointing. i got cherry (I don't really like cherry but this was okay!) but yeah. there's also other options like root beer and soda floats. I was about to get that instead but I didn't. yeah that's pretty much it. not too expensive, my order was $7, $6 for shave ice and $1 for ice cream. their toppings are all 1 buck. so that's great. hopefully u found this useful

Their staff was very nice and the portions are quite big. There wasn't a line when I got there so it was prepared pretty quickly and was delicious. My one (quite major) complaint was there wasn't anywhere to sit where you weren't harassed by a pack of bees - I had to stand up and keep moving to avoid them and all the other tables were having similar issues. I'm not entirely sure how they should go about fixing this but it certainly made the experience less fun.

Somewhat expensive shaved ice but it was solid after snorkeling. There are a lot of wild chickens in the food area, some bees by the tables too because of the melted shaved ice. Got stung by mosquitoes here.

Yummy shave ice, large portions. I really enjoyed the li hing flavor! Good consistency. Melts very fast.

Nothing like a cold treat with a beautiful backdrop! We enjoyed our shaved ice amongst the wild roosters and random rain! When visiting North Shore, you gotta partake in this cheap dose of lovely.

It definitely isn't Matsumoto's and FOR SURE isn't Shimazu's. Somehow got a spoonful of ice cream on the bottom, like, a tablespoon of ice cream.

This shave ice spot was wonderful! It was not crowded either! The shave ice was a good price and the service was fast. I went with the melon and mango. I landed on a small because I have seen what regulars look like. In fact my hubby got a regular and asked me to get Spoon and help me eat this, is said no. Of course once I was done with mines I started on his, he didn't add ice cream, I think he regretted this. For three dollars you can enjoy a normal size shave ice. Also known as a small, the add ins are 1 dollar. I don't think that is a bad price at all. The next time my family and I venture to the North Shore we are going to park and walk! Heck, it might be next Sunday. There is also a cool wave and surf ‍ board thing you can take a picture with. My daughter took some super cute photos.

30 minutes later and they forgot my shaved ice and root beer float... 15 minutes after I reminded them about it, I finally asked for my money back. No apologies for missing it, just an excuse saying it wasn't their fault and they get a lot of orders. Not sure if it's incompetence that fuels the lack of customer service or just a complete disregard of it.

Compared to others we've tried on Oahu, this was by far the best. Should be rated much higher due to great flavors and generous sizes. Parking was easy and convenient.
