Samurai

Tucked away from everything in (kalihi), you wouldn't have thought that there was the ice cream store.Simple, takeout window with freezer in front. Glass window showcasing that they serve popcorn and other little food items to choose from.They had a few offerings and the girl servicing me offered me samples. I knew I was gonna get chocolate, but I wanted to try other items as well. Chocolate won One of the best places to get a chocolate soft serve. Reminded me of Yami yogurt from back in the day. Just missing some toppings. Creamy to the taste, not watered down like some soft serves. As much as I miss the aiea location, I would still keep coming back here because the prices right and the flavor is great!

We came and purchased a blue vanilla and strawberry swirl float with Coke and condensed milk ($4 + $0.75 for the condensed milk). It only comes in one size (16 oz.). They give you the whole can of Coke, so you can just keep adding to the soft serve. We also got a bag of fresh buttered popcorn with extra butter, furikake and arare $5.75. Both items were good. I prefer the Coke float. It hit the spot on a hot day. The popcorn needed more butter and furikake.

Child nostalgia!!! Hole in the wall best snack after a long day in the office and a hot walk over. The workers are always so sweet. And pretty quick. Can't complain about the treats. My mini always loves an afterschool special snack and these make it perfect for her wishes.

A great place for a quick treat. There were 2 parking spots available and we happened to come at a time when they were both open. The flavors of the soft serve are good and I like that the flavors rotate depending on the day. Our soft serves also came with a free cookie. They have plenty of other sweet treats to choose from as well. There's no seating available, but we just ate ours in the car.

What a cool place...The amount of time spent at New City Nissan you think I'd be here more often lol! Hidden down Umi Street which is right beside the dealership just past the storage place is this sweet place and yes parking is impossible in this area but they do have two stalls right beside the shop.Luckily I did manage to grab a stall and check out what they have to offer today as the flavors are posted clearly and ordering is easy first you choose a flavor, then the style (soft serve, shake, float or parfait) and third any toppings which all are additional.It was a Strawberry float and they have Coke or Sprite as the soda so it was Sprite and what they do is fill the cup with the soft serve and top it with soda and was surprised they gave me the rest of the can...no straw...no spoon!? Unlike before no seating as well so I stood there looking around with a cup and a soda can...hmmm!I didn't make the greatest choice it was okay and should've kept it simple and sadly it all went to waste and just a note if you're unsure you can sample any flavor which I encourage you to do so but I did grab a couple bags of popcorn in the fun color that's representing the Super Bowl teams (SF/KC) lol! Fun treats are definitely found here besides the usual like the Crispy Bar is new to me and with treats like these is always a party here.Thank you!

Tucked away on Umi Street, this place is a gem! The sorbet is scrumptious! The gigantic Oreo cookie made for an extra special treat. My favorite is the lihing sorbet topped with extra lihing powder. I am salivating as I write this review. There are daily flavors, as well as additional pint size flavors and various sorbet in the refrigerator/freezer in front to choose from. Hot dogs and popcorn also. A plethora of desserts available for even the pickiest taste buds. Parking on site and on the street. Area is clean. Security cameras throughout. I will return to Samurai. Support local businesses, folks.

Took my husband and kids here on a hot Saturday. To my surprise, my husband has never never been here before and he's lived in Kalihi for yearssss! Anyway, we got here and there were no customers so we were stoked that we didn't have to wait in a line. We had to ring the bell for service because there it looked like they were closer. Someone came right away though. Ordering was such a tough task for my family because they wanted everything! We appreciated how the cashier was very patient with us. After ordering, they got our Samurai very quickly ready. And boyyy, it was delicious! Loved the soft served flavors. This is now our go to treat after football games.

Love samurai when I'm in need of a nice cool treat! My favorite flavors are melona, strawberry, & vanilla. The workers are friendly & service is quick. It's a cute little shop in Kalihi. The only thing that's junk is the parking. There's only 2 parking stalls so I would recommend going with someone else so that one of you can hop out and grab your treats.

The texture and flavor is if shave ice, ice cream, and gelato had a baby. It's sweet and syrupy but also creamy and icy. The strawberry vanilla swirl is their classic and it is chef's kiss. They offer unique flavors like lychee, mango, and honeydew melon. It's a Hawaiian treat you can't miss.

Standing and waiting outside for10 minutes and no help. Pushed doorbell twice so took my business somewhere else
