I am VERY impressed with this shaved ice shop. I tried going to two other shaved ice shops. One had machine broken (Ululani’s) and the other ran out of shaved ice (Kona Wave Cafe) so I googled for a nearby shaved ice and directed me to Scandinavian shaved ice and I’m glad. I bought the medium with three flavors, ice cream center and condensed milk aka ice snow cap. It was worth within my budget. I sat by the shop and me eating it have them free advertisement 🤣. Got other customers going there since it was hot and humid. Highly recommended and you won’t be disappointed. Quality: A+++++ Service: A+++++ Price: A+++++ The price is worth with extra topping. I’m definitely coming back but next time with hubby 🥰🥰

Stopped on our cruise - would do 0/5 if possible- upon entering the shop absolutely stinks so we chose to sit outside. We ordered a medium shave ice with a pineapple whip center and 3 natural flavors (up charged 75¢ each) and when I said the flavors the girl started pouring the fake ones in and I corrected her quickly so she scraped off the flavors and went to the fridge. Asked if I could do 4 and pay extra said no that’s not possible. Added a snow cap and it all tasted like stale ice - none of the flavors had any flavor so I’m confused how this place has such high ratings. Started melting in seconds. Husband got the pineapple whip- super tart and more than half the small cup filled with air. Ive had other amazing shave ice but this store falls short in every category including service - girl was just bothered by entire exchange 0/5 - don’t recommend

Not good. Their sign says best shave ice 2019, and I think I know why. Another shave ice place opened up locally around 2019, a better one, a block away. Sandi's had a lot of positive reviews and said they've been around since 80s (I think) so I wanted to give them a try, you know try something new. Their shave ice was ice-y, it should be snow-y and fluffy. Their syrup is watered down, not kept cold, and probably why their snow cone gets ice-y. The syrup tasted like cough syrup unfortunately. I ate only the toping and the ice-cream and had to throw away the rest. Also, another bad sign is how quickly they make each shave ice. It should take more than 1 minute to get the most fluffy and snow like ice, and soak in all the syrup slowly evenly. I felt rushed as well. Do yourself a favor and go someplace else.

I'm a little confused about the Scandanavian shaved ice vs. Hawaiian shaved ice. Nonetheless, it's still appetizing on a hot day. Plus the kiddos will never complain. My wife and ended up sharing a medium ($4.50) shaved ice which looked more like a large. Portions are enormous here, but the price is right. I can't remember what flavors, but I do remember the MacNut ice cream in the middle. ($2.50) plus mochi topping ($1But free with a Yelp check in). The service is quick and there are maybe 2-3 tables inside. Parking isn't the best but again, along the beach there is never good or even decent parking. There are lots of shave ice places on the island and this one is good, but not outstanding. However, it is still worth the time to grab a cold one.
