    This has got to be the best damn thing I ate in all of Wakiki strip lol. I've never had shaved ice this creamy, soft before. We got there Seasonal mango shaved ice and wow, worth every penny. Mangoes were perfectly ripe and sweet. Mango syrup didn't have that artificial flavor either. Coconut ice cream was perfect amount of sweetness and pieces of real coconut meat that added to the texture. The mochi that comes with the ice was very soft, pillowy texture that paired wonderfully. I wish I came here sooner so I could have eaten one once a day. Worth the wait and I would gladly wait in line again.

    I have lots of different varieties of shaved ice from Bingsu, Taiwanese shaved ice, Ululani's and finally this place. So far hands down Island Vintage has it covered on all ends. Their mochi was super soft. Their shaved ice (not a huge mountain) but just right. Their blend of flavors was perfect as can get. They offer many varieties and also have some seasonal specials when fruit such as mangoes when in season. Definitely, get here by 2 or 3pm otherwise the line gets huge.

    Omg, the best shaved ice I ever had. The next best thing is bingsu which is pretty much a bit different food. I remembered it was good years ago and went back, omg it’s way better than I remember. To make long story short. I had it every night we stayed there Lol

    This stand might be small but beware, they sure do make some good shave ice! During our stay in Hawaii, we searched high and low for the best and it was definitely this one! There is another actual restaurant along the Waikiki strip and it is just as good. We will be back!
