Best shaved ice on the island! A local gem and a must stop whenever we are close by. Great prices and a nostalgic moment every single time. I recommend getting ice cream at the bottom to enhance the flavors on top. Waiola rainbow or another rainbow is a great beginner flavor for all the best but ice
Always a nice place to visit for a cold treat. Service is always fast and the ice is really shaved. There is an assortment of flavors and the sizes are good for their prices. Would say has quality that is better than Matsumoto from the north shore. Just a personal opinion.
This is one of our favorite shaved ice place! The place is decorated very cute and the selection is abundant. The shaved ice itself was pillow-y and has a really good texture. With the mochi and ice cream, it was a good combination. However, I wish the flavors were a bit more strong as when the ice
Probably tops the list of shave ice on Oahu for us. We enjoyed several flavors, mostly the tropical syrups, which was made quickly despite the line out front. This store is iconic and has several signature flavors to prove it. Although I have a favorite elsewhere, the flavors here weren’t overly swe
The BEST place for Shaved Iceeee! It was a little corner shop where you lined up and ordered from a side window. There were 2 small benches outside for you to sit. Service was fast and don’t let the line scare you.
Even for one person, I would recommend you to get the bowl instead of the small cups
Softer than snow shaved ice- definitely a must visit every time I’m in Hawaii for shaved ice.
Super cute shop with solid shave ice and a huge selection of flavors and toppings. Wanted to love it, but the taste gives off more of artificial flavoring.
So... I was able to visit my BFF that I haven't seen in over 10 years💜 We BOTH have grown up in Mo'ili'ili with that being said, Waiola Shave Ice was a part of our lives when we were little and have fond memories with our Dads 💜
Personally... I prefer their shave ice over others because of the 'melt

Must go to!!
Waiola's shave ice definitely has the lightest and fluffiest ice out of all the places we've tried so far! (not chunky)
Our favorite flavor combo has got to be their strawberry cream and lilikoi syrups with condensed milk on top to seal the deal! (Pictured below)
Much needed on those
On Oahu, this is the spot to hit up for Shave Ice. It’s cheap, it’s tasty, it’s cold and soft, sweet and delicious. Made the rookie mistake of ordering smalls, should’ve went bigger! They were pretty small! But it hit the spot. Next time larges for sure!! Parking is limited at this location but
Waiola Shave Ice is our family's favorite shave ice place! I always recommend this spot to any friends visiting from out of town too. They have all the yummy flavors and toppings you can choose from. My personal favorite is the shave ice bowl with lilikoi and strawberry flavors, mochi balls, and ice
Excellent options to choose from. The employees were very nice and welcoming and very helpful! The store was clean and they have snacks here as well as beverages.

Let me start by saying I’m not a shave Ice aficionado in fact I think this was my first time having a shaved ice. Walking up to the counter was a bit overwhelming as there are so many choice’s. The line was long and I didn’t want to hold it up so I let some people pass. I chose to go with custard
The shaved ice was refreshing on a hot day. We got the Guava with Lemon-Lime flavors. It just melts perfectly with each bite. Surprisingly, smooth tasting. It did not disappoint.
My favorite classic shaved ice in honolulu. My favorite is the rainbow bowl with vanilla icecream at the bottom. Always hits the spot
