Nice people, great shaved ice! Get the one with custard and mochi. Any flavor is great!
Heavenly! Reminds me of home, I've been going to Ice Garden since 1992 with my late mom. Now I take my husband and baby. This business is owned & operated by 2 sisters. The older sister is 85 years young. I love their pudding & mochi balls. Mung beans & oatmeal toppings are very refreshing =) They stopped selling tobacco after they saw the health side effects pictures posted in public.
Love the number 7 or 8. A different twist on a typical shave ice. These come with two little custard cups put on top.
They have many different types of shaved ice and dim sum on their menu. They have the regular flavors of shaved ice as well as ice cream, mochi balls, peanuts, oatmeal, azuki beans and many other toppings. But their #7- shaved ice with custard (flan) and condensed milk is the best!
Love all the topping choices beyond just sugary syrups (e.g., oatmeal, taro, custard). Very glad they lasted through the pandemic. Was an old favorite a decade ago. They have raised their prices quite a bit but I feel the value is well worth it. At our visit in August 2023, they stayed open until the closing time (they used to typically close early). Like that they are using biodegradable dishes now.
CASH ONLY! ATM nearby charges $4+ service fee.
I got the #7 and it was amazing! perfectly powdery/fine shave ice, milk was sweet, but not too sweet. custard was velvety, and mochi had a great chew.
One of my favorite stops whenever I'm visiting Honolulu.
There can be a wait time in the afternoon once the sun is out and it gets hot!! But no problem for me!! More time to think about what I want.
They do offer your traditional shave ice, fruit flavors, syrup, the works! But personally I’d recommend some of their topping filled shave ice (it is a bit pricey, and no prices are listed outside. Also cash only!) I think our halo halo one ended up being around $14? So kind of steep for shave ice.
The halo halo was super good!! The pudding on top is a great contrast of sweetness to the ice & ube ice cream. There’s also a lot of texture in the rice krispies, and jelly they had. Overall really good bingsoo-like shave ice.
Delicious - authentic and no frills. Guy serve the shaved ice out of a small window, so there are no seats. But there are some tables around the corner outside the pancake place. Be careful though, the place has seen better days, a piece of paint/asap halt from the roof fell into my bowl lol
6/9/21 Delicious shave ice. The photos that they've posted showed the many flavors and styles of shave ice that they had. I had a hard time deciding as it was my first visit. I finally chose #10- Root Beer Ice Cream Shave Ice. Great root beer flavor! This is a busy place but the line moves quickly. Around the corner there are some tables and benches to sit on while you eat your treat. Four stars only for the price, as it's a bit expensive for the amount that you get.

Best shave ice!! Especially love the shave ice with the custard!! 🤙
I've been coming here since I was 5 years old. So that makes 30 years. It's just as good now as it was back then. Be yourself a favor, get combination number one and add pudding. There's no other shave Ice place that it comes close. Trust me I've eaten at every single one. Not that other places are bad. This is just the best by far.
😀✋🏼👀 this place omg, it’s sooo good. first off there’s always most likely a line but it’s really worth it. I had only been to this place twice and never regretted it. It’s almost like a hold in the wall type of place but it’s not the hard to find, it’s right next to the rabbit rabbit tea place or whutever. The wait isn’t too long but not the fastest but tbh, there is most likely only two or one person in there working so cut up some slack. I promise you you’ll love this place. All a mix of really good shaved ice with a huge variety of flavors and toppings. I kinda forgot what I had gotten but it had some flan and white tapioca underneath. Again so good!!!
Been going here for years! Two sweet ladies used to run the place, and we'd sit inside and there would always be a crowd. It's our first time back since before COVID, and it looks like one of their sons took over. There's no inside service now, just through the window, but the shave ice is as good as ever. Parking can get a little iffy, especially with the McDonald's drive thru right there, but still worth it!
This place is awesome! Great prices! Custard is bomb. Ice is very fine and great flavors. When we ordered my son just rambled off what he wanted (not on the menu) and I gave the owner a look like "sorry, he's special", and the guy just smiled and said he can customize it however. Great service!
Can't go wrong with anything on their menu. Recommend any flavor with oatmeal topping as well as the taro milk shave ice.
Literally a hole in the wall, but we love the Japanese-style shaved ice here much more than the native kind.
WOW. So good. We came back again and again for this amazing shaved ice!
This is the best shave ice on the island.
They use fresh chunks of taro, soft tapioca and mochi, and best of all they use a family recipe for their pudding (flan) that is the most DELICIOUS pudding you'll ever taste. Their ice is super fine and soft but isn't a slushy. To top it all off they're a family business. Whenever I have friends visiting from the mainland this is always the first and last stop we make.
The best shaved ice! So many delicious options. Whenever we're in the area, we make it a point to stop and treat ourselves. I took my children here for shaved ice when they were little. Now my grandchildren love visiting Ice Garden! :-)
