    Ever wondered what it would be like to eat a cloud?? I love this place and wished Brian would open one in the bay area bc it's 4.5 hours away but so worth it. Also has a sugar free syrup

    What a nice surprise in the middle of little Osaka! We tried the Lava Man and Sunset Beach. Both delicious! The ice is really great. Reminds me of Hawaii.

    Really, really good. If you like shaved ice, this is your place. The syrups are all true to the fruit, flavorful without being overly sweet. Free 45 minute validated parking in the structure below.

    This is not your typical shaved ice you would probably get from a paletero raspado the ice shavings are much thinner and delicate melt in your mouth really good and would definitely get this again

    Their shave ice comes in 3 sizes ($2.50 kiddie; $3.50 reg; $4.50 lg). $0.50 for a filling (free if checking in 1st time on foursquare or Yelp). 3 flavors + 1 topping are free (each add'l is $0.25).

    The problem with this place is the syrups are too sweet/not strong enough compared to my favorite shaved ice in Maui. Next time I'll try their homemade strawberry syrup and see if that's better.

    The kiddie size is plenty but the regular cup is prettier, sno-cap was weird, mochi balls are so strange, tigers blood and piña colada are delicious flavors.

    Definitely get Dole Whip! And if you get sour spray with green apple or watermelon, it tastes like an old-school warhead!!

    If you get the Strawberries n Cream, be sure to order it with Fosselman's vanilla as filling!

    Uji Kintoki is BOSS here, especially now that they spread the red bean on top of the shaved ice.
