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

Ululani’s - Review - Kapahulu - Oahu - The Infatuation

"You could throw a dart at a map of the island, blindfolded, and it would hit a place serving frozen desserts. And while there’s no shortage of shave ice spots, few have nailed the elusive fine texture like Ululani’s. The Maui transplant, which also has expanded to the mainland, is performing sorcery on blocks of ice. Each tightly packed mound is creamy, thoroughly saturated with syrup, and feels like you’re eating spoonfuls of a wispy cartoon cloud. There are dozens of flavors to choose from, but we’re partial to the Sunset Beach with mango and tangy POG." - Julia Chen

The 9 Best Shave Ice Spots in Hawai‘i | Eater

"When on Maui, a stop at Ululani’s is a must. There are five locations, all of them extremely popular. The ice is shaved so fine it’s practically velvety, and with almost 50 flavors, Ululani’s satisfies those who want all-natural fruit syrups as well as those for whom shave ice isn’t shave ice unless there’s blue raspberry and pink bubblegum." - Martha Cheng

We’ve had shaved ice at multiple places around Oahu—this, Island Vintage, and Kaimana are our top three in terms of our preferred texture: fluffy, creamy, and the syrups don’t taste artificial at all. Love the variety of options and the syrups aren’t too sweet. Plenty of seating indoors. Credit card preferred.

I wasn’t expecting the texture of this supposed Hawaiian Shave ice place. I would call it something else. It is more like fine powder snow in a cup. Typically there is fine ice particles in shave ice, but this was pure powder. It’s better than those fake coarse ice bits, snow cones as they say. It’s just not right. Maybe it is just my cup, where the blade was adjusted too tight or something. But i’d be cautious about returning, and need to do more research, because I prefer the usual shave ice. The flavors were excellent, so no issue there.

The BEST shave ice and island made ice cream on Oahu by far!!! Skip all the tourist traps and go here! All syrups use cane sugar with natural fruit. So many wild flavors, toppings and options to choose from, you’ll never get bored. Their ice cream is top notch and include flavors like Banana Mac Nut, Kona crunch, Mac Nut, and Haupia, and Ube, among others. Combine with the shave ice for the ultimate treat!

I’ve visited a few shave ice places throughout the Hawaiian Islands and this place is on the higher end. What makes it better is how soft the ice comes out, though it’s not powder soft like some other spots (ex BISICO), and the variation of flavors that don’t taste artificial. I ordered the 3 K’s Kraving, which features Green Tea, Ube, and Coconut with Kinako Powder. I love the asian inspired combination of flavors that differed from the standard tropical fruits. The kinako powder on top was delicious as well, especially with the green tea. Our order came out pretty quickly despite being busy. I love the rainbow decorations both on the walls and in how they display their flavor bottles along the cashier area.

The best shaved ice we’ve ever had!! It tastes almost like ice cream/sorbet but still has the lightness of shaved ice. The toppings and flavors are all really good, we liked the #3 special the best. You can’t go wrong though, they are all really amazing!

Renato M.

Worth the trek if you're looking to elevate your shaved ice experience, as the flavors seem to burst in your mouth! The selection can be daunting because the dozens of combinations, so I suggest you go with their recommended blends and favorites! Unlike the commercial stores in Waikiki, Ululani's is carefully crafted and their flavors are custom-made, and the experience is truly unique!

A pretty solid shave ice spot and right across from Leonard’s. Kill two sweet tooth birds with one stone. The workers mold the ice in a bowl with hashis like it’s an ice sculpture. They have a few ice cream flavors and even one dairy-free option with coconut ice cream. There is an abundance of flavored syrups. It’s not overly saturated, as to not make it syrupy at the end/bottom, keeping it light and fluffy. Add the li hing powder to the top for a truly authentic shave ice experience.

Omg..this is shave ice from the heavens🤩😍💯 It is super fine ice, the flavors are crazy amazing. I had matcha, coconut and ube with haupia cream topping..the homemade mochi..just speechless..awesome flavors..only thing is I can't keep coming back for more as I was visiting😭😭..if only I could I'd keep going back everyday😭😭 I had several shave ice elsewhere during my visit but this place is my favorite as the shave ice is the most super fine and the haupia cream is 💯 and the way they shape the ice into a ball and poke holes to absorb all the flavors..is magical. They are the pros for sure!

Ululani's is a local favorite. It was reccomended to me by someone who's lived on the island for a while and I can see why. There is a parking lot and if you have trouble there are also some side streets you might find parking. There's a long list of flavors that you can choose from. You can also ask for additional syrup if you like but I found that each time it had a good amount of syrup on it. Staff: Nice (5/5) Sanitation status: Really clean (5/5) POG Shaved Ice (5/5) This was so delicious. The ice was really soft and smooth, they poke holes in it so the syrups can penetrate deeper into the shaved ice. I got my shaved ice with a snow cap which is a condensed milk drizzle and some mochi. The mochi was really soft and I would definitely reccomend adding it. I also tried their lychee flavor but it didn't really have a strong flavor if you're combining it with other options.

Cute little shop with a master creator; each serving is edible art. Hands down the best thing I've ever eaten. Choose your bowl size, then one scoop of premium ice cream, then your syrup flavors and cap off if you like. I kept things simple. Medium bowl, pineapple coconut scoop, Hawaiian sunrise flavors. I had the pleasure of watching all of the magic happen. After my scoop was covered with shave ice and patted down, deep holes were poked into my treat and it was covered with Hawaiian syrups. Each spoonful was delightful, I was mad that I didn't choose a larger size. There were chunks of coconut and pineapple in each bite. My syrup flavors; passion orange, mango and guava were a great choice. Kicking myself for not ordering a larger size. That was amazing!

Sad to see Uncle Clays go but happy to have discovered this place! This might be my new favorite Shave Ice place on Oahu. The mochi is so good here and the haupia ice cream really sets it apart from other shave ice places. The workers are also really nice. Will be coming back to try other flavors.

A very cute spot for delicious shaved ice. The parking lot is on the smaller side and there is limited seating available. They're able to keep the line moving fairly quickly. And their menu has tons of different options to choose from. The ice is very soft and the flavors that they have don't taste extremely artificial like some of their other competitors. It is on the more expensive side, but it's worth trying and it's great for sharing.

We went to check out Ululani's after our daughter's Birthday dinner to grab some dessert. Located on kapahulu ave in a small shopping complex with other restaurants and shops, they have a shared parking lot, which was pretty empty when we went. We tried the lava flow which was very good and tasty and with the roasted coconut flakes which gave it a nice texture and flavor. Our daughter had the sour apple and banana with ice cream which they enjoyed even kinako. Service was excellent and staff was friendly Restroom in the shop and area inside and out was very clean, they had hand sanitizer and napkins on the counter to use and help yourself.

Looks small but they really pack it up! I got the kid sized version with matcha, ube and coconut and it was so flavorful. The azuki beans were on the bottom and they drizzled condensed milk on top. My boyfriend got the tropical one which consisted of guava, mango and something else with mochi. The mochi was chewy and it was homemade so it was super sweet like the store bought ones. Service and staff are super friendly and there's a lot of seating inside the store.

Ululani is my favorite Hawaiian shaved ice. The ice is not chunky and it's super smooth. Also the syrup is very flavorful. The mochi is also chewy and not hard. There's also ample of seating now and there's parking right outside. It's clean and the service is quick.

Ululani's serves some of the best shave ice I've ever had--truly unbeatable! We brought the whole family to the Honolulu location because it's one of my husband's favorite places, and now it's a favorite for all of us. This location is always packed, and for good reason--the flavors are vibrant, the ice is super fine and fluffy, and everything is made with care. Despite the crowds, the service is efficient, and there's indoor seating so you can enjoy your treat comfortably. It's a must-stop for us anytime we have family visiting us. Totally worth the wait every single time!

Ululani's shaved ice was one of my favorite shaved ice spots ever. It definitely opened my eyes on what shaved ice is supposed to taste like, flavorful and a bowl full of delight. We got a large size to share which came with 3 flavors of your choice. We got mango, guava, and blue raspberry with mochi and condensed milk for our toppings. Although the large size appears "small" it's enough to for 2 people when sharing! Each flavor tasted authentic and delicious. Great spot!

ONE OF THE BEST- if not THE BEST! Service is great! Super friendly staff, patient to wait for your flavor choices if you're like me and took longer than the line was! But don't be fooled, the line is loooong. I just came right before it got long! The vibe in here is exactly what I expected- kid friendly, fun and cute, local- vibes. Lots of merch to choose from! Highly recommend getting merch as this is a place you can't forget! Just fyi- this place is a little pricier than other place but it's WORTH IT! The shaved ice here is different from all the others- from my perspective. The EXTREMELY fine and dense ice- it ALMOST gives sorbetto vibes. I LOVED IT SO MUCH! the syrups they use are fresher tasting than some other places. It's not as artificial tasting. Everything literally melts in your mouth- in a delicate soft ice way- not in the obviously ice melting your mouth way- lol DO NOT GO HOME until you try this!

A little disappointed that they ran out of my favorite shave ice flavors- Guava, Pineapple, and Lilikoi- early in the afternoon. But was still satisfied with getting other flavors with a scoop of Mac nut ice cream! Not all shave ice places have the Mac nut ice cream so this was definitely a treat. Will have to come back again to try it with my favorite flavors! On a side note, they don't overload the shave ice with syrup so if you need more, just ask them to add some!

So everyone I know rants about this place and says it's the best shave ice here on Oahu ... my thoughts are ... it's kinda hard to mess up shave ice... so I have to give it a try ... it's good... they poke holes in the ice so that the flavor goes through so that's great!! ...great service indeed ... pretty fast and very busy!! I do think that they are kinda pricey but .. Would I come back ... sure ... why Not ....

TL;DR Top-tier shave ice. ----- My wife and I felt like taking our daughter for a treat. We were craving shave ice, so based on a recommendation from some friends, we decided to visit Ululani's for the first time. There's a parking lot in front with ample parking. We arrived around 4pm on weekday and it was crowded but there was no line. We ordered the regular (Ulu) size shave ice with azuki beans, snow cap, and fresh mochi. For flavors, we went with recommended "Sunset Beach" combo, which is comprised of passion orange, mango, and guava. Damn, the shave ice here is phenomenal. The ice itself is super light and fluffy, the flavors are superb, and the toppings are solid. We were especially impressed with how intense and precise the flavors were. Taking a bite of the mango portion of the shave ice at times tasted like biting into a real mango. Crazy! I also appreciated how thick and chewy the mochi was. Ululani's is firmly in the top spot of my shave ice power rankings. I look forward to my next visit to try different flavors!

Still the king of shave ice! Got the Pickled Mango, Li Hing, and Lychee with Li Hing Powder and Mochi and it still blows my mind how great it is. Mine was a little icy but for the most part the texture was still great.My wife got the Sunset Beach (Passion Orange, Mango, Guava). It was a new flavor for her but she still loved it. Service was friendly as usual and the place was pretty packed as well despite it being a Monday night near closing.

So good that we came here twice in one week! The macadamia ice cream is a must, and so is the Li Hing Mei powder on top! We tried the prebuilt POG and it was delicious! The second time we tried mango and pineapple, I would not recommend the pineapple as it tasted very artificial.

Got #6 Jem's Jam and added haupia ice cream totaling $12.40. The size is big enough to share with another adult for dessert after a meal or totally also enough for 1 person if you're on the hungrier side. The haupia ice cream was a nice balance to the sweeter and also more sour/salty pickle mango and li hing flavors. Service is typically prompt, welcoming, and helpful. They know what's good and pairs well. The staff recs have been on point. I really like that there are tables and seats to use indoor to eat your treat. We heard it gets busy here so we typically aim to come on a weekday mid afternoon when there were only a few patrons and parking available in their lot. We've never had to wait in a ridiculous line or find parking because it was too busy but we intentionally come during down time.

The shaved ice is so smooth and fine that it's kind of tastes like an eating a slushie to me. Good thing there is seating inside because it would probably melt into a drink as soon as I step outside. Overall I enjoyed the flavors I got. It also made me less guilty knowing that their premium syrups are handcrafted made with natural cane sugar and real fruit juices.

This was the best shave I've ever had! The ice is so fine and fluffy and the syrup goes all the way through the ice. I shared an original (Ulu size) Sunset Beach with a snow cap with my sister and the flavor is fantastic! There is pretty limited seating inside and a decently long line, but it was sooo worth it
google avatar

Rich S.

Yelp
I think the ice is fantastic, they put plenty of syrup so there is a lot of flavor Parking lot is big, and have seats inside to stay out of the sun and enjoy the shaved ice. The staff was attentive and quick - probably a better experience all around than other of the popular shave ice places. If we didn't go to Maui many times, it would just be "another shave ice place" - but they did a good job to bring the spirit of the Maui establishments over

One of the best shaved ice spots on the island!! My family and I first tried this place in Maui and we literally visited it everyday. We were so happy to see that they opened a location in Oahu. It's right next to Leonard's so you can get yourself two sweet treats :) the workers were really nice and answered all our questions about new combination suggestions. You need to add the mochi and condensed milk! Our favorite flavors were the guava and mango. The lychee flavor is not super strong but it was still tasty. Amazing dessert for when you need to cool off.

Are you on Oahu but not just at Waikiki Beach? Then by all means you need to come to Ululani's! They are the tops for true Hawaiian shave ice. There is plenty of indoor seating for you to enjoy your custom made creation. The menu board is packed with flavor combinations for you to choose from or... be a rebel... make one of your own. Even with the packed shop, they got my order out nice and quick. The shop is spaced nicely for a casual sit down for you to enjoy your ice, or if you prefer there are a couple outdoor benches, I Highly recommend getting away from the beach and giving it a try!

Their shaved ice is very smooth, ultra fine snow like texture. It's really good but man, very pricy when you start adding up toppings. Although I didn't taste or get condensed milk, I'm disappointed for paying $14 plus 20% tip

Really nice workers. They make recommendations for flavors because it can be overwhelming. The keiki size is pretty large. Cute spot to sit and enjoy the smoothest, most flavorful ice ever. They even poke holes so the freshly made fruit juices seep through! Small lot for parking out front.

Ululani's softest, finest ice and exemplary syrup that does not migrate down the bottom of your frozen treat brings it to the top of the heap for Hawaiian shave ice. I did had Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice when we visited Maui many years ago and back then I already thought that their shave ice was very good. Situated dab smack in the middle of the action in Kapahulu Ave. Right next to Leonard's and just a stones throw away form Rainbow Drive-Inn, Ululani's serve both locals and visitors with their delicious shave ice. What did I get? Actually I do not even remember, as any combination form Ululani's will give you lots of smiles. I think I had Hawaiian Rainbow? Anyways, I am pretty certain that I had a scoop of macadamia nut ice cream to elevate my shave ice even further. I am very glad and thankful also, that we have an Ululani's location right here in the mainland! Regardless of location, you can expect the best of Hawaii when to step into a Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice. Certified broke the mouth!

This has to be on every Waikiki food tour. This is an import from Maui. The ice is so finely shaved and the syrups are well flavored and don't feel overly syrupy. There's so many flavors to play around with, but the green tea is a must try. There's also the choice of toppers, ice cream, mochi and so much more. I think you can come here everyday for a year and not try all the combos mathematically possible. We walked here. There is on site parking. Fun and casual indoor seating. Good service. Please come and create your own experience.

First time I tried Ululani's was in Maui. Finally made it to this one. Kiddo ordered a keiki Lilikoi Cheesecake with ube ice cream and I ordered an ulu Jem's Jam with Haupia ice cream. The ice was soft and completely covered by the flavors. I liked the li hing flavors - not overpowering. The haupia flavor came through in the ice cream as well. Refreshing and enjoyable.

Ululani's Hawaiian Shave Ice **** RECOMMENDED **** Food: **** Value: *** Menu: **** Ambiance: *** new & clean Parking: ***** free, in front If you're in the mood for a shave ice, but Waiola Shave Ice (6 pm) and Shimizu Shave Ice (7 pm) are closed, look no further than Ululani's which closed at 9:30 pm. They are located on Kapahulu Avenue on the east side just after Lenord's Bakery, before Rigo's, and across the street from the Safeway shopping center. They have a variety of special combos, toppings, flavors, ice creams and even a sugar-free flavors to choose from. They are a little more pricey than Waiola Shave Ice at $6.75 for Keiki and $7.99 for a regular size. The ice is very fine, heavily packed into a bowl and a lot shorter. The flavors will depend on your taste. They have 4 tables with chairs and a long counter with stools to sit on in air conditioning. If it's before 6 pm, I would still go to Waiola's first for the flavors, the size and the price. But is a nice option for a snack after dinner. RATINGS & RECOMMENDED ORDER: Yelp: https://yelp.to/foq9eKdaPC Website: https://www.ululanishawaiianshaveice.com/ YELP: Milton K Sorry! They allow only one 12 second video & the remaining to 3 seconds.

Ahhh another tasty shaved ice spot. They all have their own unique taste. We visited this spot twice in one week.

Hands down the best shave ice on Oahu. The shave ice has a cotton candy like consistency and just melts in your mouth. You must get a snow cap on whatever flavor you get. I wish we had a location in Houston.

How I wish we had this in Canada, I still dream about it! This shaved ice was one of the best eats I had on my treat to Honolulu! It was the perfect balance of sweetness to flavours that did not taste artificial. On that hot summer day this the perfect treat to get! 9/10 recommend!

Oh My God. I've been eating shave ice for over 40 years. I've had shave ice, ice shave, shaved ice and kakigori. In all of my over 40 years of eating shave ice, I have never had the divine pleasure of tasting this delectable treat. This shave ice was amazing! The flavors I chose were lychee, mango and piña colada and they worked well together and were broke da mouth ono. I went on a Friday night and the place was packed. They only take credit or phone. No cash. This was an amazing experience. Go here. Nevermind the place around the corner. This place is life-changing!

Shaved ice at its best, hands down it's the best I've had on Oahu. The service is fast and the taste of the shaved ice is even better. It's nice that you can sit down comfortably inside the store and they have some cute merchandise as well. The flavor is bomb and their shaved is so smooth that you can't stop eating it. The flavor tastes not too sweet or artificially sweeten. Definitely the ice cream inside is cherry on top. Definitely will go back next time we're on Oahu!

So happy we have multiple locations on island as my first experience was on the beautiful Valley Isle a.k.a Maui. Same great service and taste! This location is across of Leonard's Bakery right on Kapahulu Avenue. We've been lucky to go when it's not so busy, especially knowing how busy they can get. They have a few tables and bar style seating as well. The store is clean and the workers are friendly. They have a large selection of flavors and offer suggestions of combinations and top flavors. You can pick from a variety of toppings and even get ice cream or azuki beans. If you get to the middle and find a pure white pile of shave ice, ask them to top you off and they'll be glad to do so.

A great little gem located across the small side street from Leonard's. Kill two birds with one stone and get your sweet tooth satisfied with a cool shave ice and warm malasada. Enjoy a mouthful of flaky, smooth goodness in a pile of flavored ice along with toppings and other treats to hide inside from ice cream to lychee jelly. One dairy-free option for those who are lactose intolerant. The syrup is light handed leaving some of the center to not be flavored, but also striking a good balance of not overly sweet syrupy water at the bottom. The ice is perfectly molded with hashis to create a symmetrical dome for your selected flavors. Add the li hing powder on top for a true island flavor. A definite must try when you're in the area or passing by.

I came here under pressure from my date because it seems to be a necessary thing for tourists to try shave ice. As such, I expected the cup of ice to be on par with the syrupy mess you get at a neighborhood carnival. I was shocked when it turned out to be a delightful pleasure. We shared the Haleakala with a scant amount of Macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom. It cost $12, enough to have bought a gallon of premium ice cream at the grocery store, but the taste was epic. The texture was super smooth and the "snow cap" included on top was unique and a great compliment. Service from the kids at the cash register was pleasant and I appreciated their patience in letting me taste a few flavors. The atmosphere on the other hand was dull and tables were dirty. Now I am addicted to the stuff, so we'll be back!

Soft snowy texture shave ice, wide flavor selection, but the most expensive place out of 3 that I tried.

First of all let me just say this is officially my favorite Shave Ice company hands down!! Clean and spacious environment with Great customer service to go with an ice cold sweet concoction that will brighten up your day. Merchandise of all sorts for purchase with an awesome mural to look at while you wait or enjoy your shave ice.

We got here at 12:30 Friday of May Day. It was pretty busy but the service was surprisingly fast. We ordered the strawberry shortcake with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream and it was delicious. The shave ice was super pillowy soft and thank you for generous heap of graham cracker at the top. The people that worked there were really nice, and asked us if we had any questions and suggested the ice cream. The location was surprisingly very quiet despite being next to Kapahulu Avenue. But it seems like people come in in waves. Delicious flavors, and great music. Was a great escape from the midday sun!

Last shaved ice before heading to the airport. I was suspicious of how this would taste, since it looked so simple. However, don't let the looks deceive you. The syrups, while they look simple and manufactured, they were fresh! So it was a pleasant surprise.

Best shaved ice on the island in terms of texture and density. Syrups are okay. Their Ube flavor was great, Green Tea was ehh, I think it should have been sweeter since it's a syrup. Service was really nice. I loved their Banana Mac Nut ice cream. It had this surprise of a caramel and toffee swirl which I loved. It was nice to see that they had dairy free and Vegan options. The inside was cute and clean. I hope to come back here one day!

How can you come to island without having one? Yes, there's the staple in Haleiwa. Yes, there's that corner store place off of McCully. And yes, that place across the parking lot from Rainbow. A couple years ago, new kid showed up in town, coming from another island. And it's just across the street from that malasada place. That's what prompted me to stop here on a Tuesday early afternoon after shopping at Waikele. Walking in, there were a few ladies enjoying their treats at tables while a couple were at the order counter. This gave me time to study the menu (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=P823RipxLw8HWuFEZh3PXA) which is pretty extensive. Bring overwhelmed by the # of choices, I decided to try one of their suggested combinations, the Sunset Beach, small (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=9SKOSJrcvH2X_NHpVH8xtw), comprised of Passion, Mango, Orange, and Guava. After ordering, I sat at a table in the middle of the store and watched two gals put it together. It was interesting to see the shelves lined with syrup bottles across the counter (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=312&select=5sX62uACr5Br6zBrJ7FmjA). A few minutes later, I was called to the counter to get my icy treat. I should have been more observant in reading the flavors while I took bites to enjoy each of the flavors. Being warm and thirsty, I shoveled this down mainly since my travel companion chose to wait for me in the car, not wanting to make him wait. I enjoyed this ice and the variety of flavors. The mango and guava tastes were less distinguishable. The two young gals were efficient and professional in putting my treat together. The cashier promptly told me when it was ready and left it on the counter for me. I look forward to trying this again, likely other flavors after doing my menu homework before walking in.

Probably the softer shave ice you'll ever try. It's a little pricey compared to other shave ice spots you'll find, but it's totally worth it. Plenty of parking and dining space. I recommend adding just a few toppings like the ice cream or mochi balls with at least three different syrup flavors.

Was so excited to hear Ululanis has migrated to Oahu. Yes I know they have one in the bay but Livermore is still a bit far of a drive for me. Tons of options and the ice is made out to taste like ice cream versus crunchy ice lol Definitely worth the calories

Call me a shaved ice snob not because I was a figure stalker,but because I would only eat shaved ice from Obama favorite Waiola. Our most recent visit to the island we broke the Santo family tradition to try out Ululani's. Sometimes it's scary to try something new, but you never know unless you give it a try. If I don't like something I don't bother eating it because I would rather eat my calories with food that I can enjoy. So, don't feel bad about leftovers. Forget about leftovers here because, this spot was so good even my father has this spot living rent free in his mind ever since we visited. When you're getting twards the middle of your shaved ice, the snow becomes more bland because of all the syrup sits at the top. Here at Ululani's will top off your shaved ice free of charge! The shaved ice here is so smooth and they have a huge variety of flavors. The biggest part about why I enjoyed Ululani's more than Waiola is because Ululani's is presented clean wnd modern. I worry about how Waiolas clenliness because a majority of their equipment and storage looks kind of gross almost. The staff at Waiola are impatient and stingy.. because of all those things I was hesitant on getting shaved ice from Waiola. Now I know where I'll be going when I make my next visit
