Hokulia Shave Ice - Taylorsville — Restaurant in West Valley City

Give me a 100-degree weather day and I will go get a snow cone so help me God.

Hokulia shines where the other run-of-the-mill snow cone places' glimmer has faded into a dull, fluorescent box sitting in the grocery store parking lot. This is Hawaiian shaved ice. It is big, it is flavorful, and it is much better than the average snow cone.

First off, as you can already see from these photos, there is a lot of ice in these snow cones. It's pretty insane, actually. For $4, you can be eating a snow cone for well over an hour. Your lips might turn purple, green, red, or whatever shade of snow cone you might eat.

There are plenty of interesting tropical flavors like coconut and several of the classics, like tigers' blood, which is always a summer hit.

This place can be pretty busy, but it's definitely worth the...

My wife always talks about this place. So we finally decided to go and grab some "Big Kahuna"(Largest Size)portions of shave ice. The team running Hokulia are very friendly. I had a mix of POG(Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava)and Li Hing Mui and Melona. The flavor is great. Tons of flavor options and mix of ice cream or toppings if you will. Only reason why I'm giving a 4 star review is cause the Shave Ice had a little too much syrup for my liking. But hey, to each his own, right? Overall, great establishment. Can definitely see myself coming back during the summer when it gets hotter. Looking forward to trying the Tigers blood...

My family and I used to love this place HOWEVER in the past few times we have come we have either had to wait 30+ minutes for our order, get half syrup on our orders (not asked for) and my least favorite: they forgot ice cream on my order so I went up and asked them to change it. Normally most places would make you a brand new one (especially because I had eaten the top of it already trying to find the ice cream), but instead they took it back in, made a hole for the ice cream, and dropped it in my half melted cup. Uhm no, that's not how it's done. Won't be...
