The 25 Best Maui Restaurants, According to a Local Expert | Eater

"David and Ululani Yamashiro made it their mission to perfect Hawai‘i’s favorite refreshment: shave ice. They succeeded, creating immaculate snowballs of ice shaved extra fine and doused with house-made syrups. Alongside standards like mango, cherry, and pineapple, you’ll find Thai tea, Jamaica, salted caramel, and strawberry milk. As you wait in line, choose your three syrup flavors, add a base of ice cream or adzuki beans, then crown your creation with haupia cream, matcha mochi, or li hing mui drizzle. If the combinations overwhelm you, ask the staff for suggestions. Know before you go: Syrup specialist Emi Yoshida continues to concoct new, small-batch syrups with all-natural local ingredients — except for the few throwbacks like electric blue raspberry." - Shannon Wianecki
