Just got back from Hawaii and I tried Waiola, Island Vintage and Matsumoto. I'd have to say that Waiola was my favorite, it was just so smooth and tasty. Matsumoto I feel was more like an Icee, the ice was harder and not as silky smooth as Waiola or even Island Vintage. Thanks for the info in this video and your others, we found some places to visit and excellent food to eat on our Oahu trip.
Aloha John's! Glad you got to enjoy the Shave Ice here and we think alike. Waiolas is the best. And known for their smooth texture . I like then because if the variety! And Island Vintage is good. But they are a little more pricey and make me fill out on their screen now when I went. Glad this video helped and you had a great time here. 👍🤙🌈
i feel the same way. My mom grew up on oahu in the 80's so we have family and friends on oahu and come every other year (sometimes more like when my grandparents passed). I think i've been to waiola every single time i've gone. Don't get me wrong I think matsumotos is tasty but it's across the island (from where most tourists stay) and whenever i've been it's always super busy. Waiola will always have a place in my heart as i've literally been going since before I can remember.
You have never steered me wrong, but UNCLE CLAY'S House of Pure Aloha is by far the best. The only place on Oahu with all fresh real fruit flavors. We tried every place you recommended, but went back to Clay's 3 times !!!
Aloha Scott, Mahalo for watching the video. And I totally understand why you would love Uncle Clays the most. It's pure and fresh fruit. Some of us just like the sugar indulgence from other places. I'm going to Uncle Clays tommorrow. Mahalo🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi I'm pretty sure I watched all your videos yesterday. Very interesting seeing life through your lens. I love those little fun comical snippets every now and then in your videos. Mahalo bruddah!
Perfect topic, especially with summer upon us. Always fun to see your videos and thank you comparing the various eateries offering shave ice. I personally enjoy any shave ice, regardless of where it comes from. IMO the ones at Aulani are probably the cutest, simply because of the aesthetic. 🍧
Awww thanks. I never thought about the fact that it's summer too so timing is good. I appreciate you watching our videos and yes, as long as the Shave Ice is good. For Aulani, I think their Shave Ice is good but it's obviously the most photogenic. Well to me it is and anyone who loves Disney!:) Aloha!:)
I am traveling to Oahu for the first time this summer and am loving watching your videos while I plan. I would to see more "best place to get __ in Oahu" videos. I would especially like best place to get poke and best place to get acai bowls.
Aloha Alyssa! Mahalo for watching this channel. And yes, when I get more requests, and this channel can generate more views, I can def do more in depth videos. Please share with fam and friends. Enjoy Oahu when your here 🤙💯
Insane! You ate all these shave ices! That's cool man!!!! YUP! You mentioned ALL THE BEST PLACES - even the hidden non-touristic shave ice places too!!!
Yup Elijah, I actually eat Shave Ice weekly and rotate around the Island. Thanks for watching and supporting our videos. Gotta include the non touristic places too because I know the locals might be watching:) Aloha!:)
You got good taste in Shave Ice! I was born and raised in Hawaii and grew up eating shave ice and no questions asked Waiola Shave Ice is the 🐐! Awesome video!
We went to Jejubing based on your video recommendation and AGREE is one of our favorite dessert places to try during our trip. We also tried Lahaina Shave Ice (which I think can be featured on an episode of underrated shave ice places) which gives generous portions (even for keikei size) and makes their own natural tea flavors. They also remind me of Ululani's in Maui. We would have also tried Ice Monster on Kuhio St but will have to save that for another trip. Samurai's Hawaiian Frost self serve machine was a fun find at the ABC store by the Imperial Hotel. We've tried Matsumoto's, Aoki's, Waiola's when they used to serve it in those plastic cones (that were then used to build sand castles) and enjoyed all of them as well! Mahalo for these videos (SingMaTei so Ono).
Aloha Syl Tah!! Jejubing is my fvaorite place and I'll have to check out Lahaina Shave Ice and other Shave Ice places when I visit Maui!:)🤙😋 and Sing Ma Tei has some of the most delicious unique foods. Mahalo for watching 😋🤙👍
Thank you for the video. My husband and I have a plan to go Hawaii in January. I would like to try some shave ice and the last place to go. We have been try some bing-su in the other country. Glad that they have that place in Hawaii too.
Aloha Preeya! I may be bias, but I don't think there's another island that has as much Shave Ice and quality as Oahu!:) And Jejubing is my favorite!:) Enjoy your time with your husband in Jan. Mahalo🤙💯😋
@@SeanKaleponi Hello! Sorry I mean bing-su (Jejubing) I never try shave ice. My husband said about shave ice, nowhere will good taste as Hawaii and Thank you very much. I’m looking for poke place as well. Already subscribed your Channel😁. My husband would like to go surfing too. Try to find video to recommend about the place to stay. Mahalo!
Aloha Lady Shake, yes please try all the Shave Ice places and let me know what you think. And I only eat like this for the camera. Lol Mahalo for watching 🤙💯👍
For me, I like Uncle Clay’s House Of Pure Aloha. But I haven’t tried all the places mentioned. Here in the mainland, the best one is Brian’s Shave Ice in LA.
My wife and I will be in Oahu next month / thanks for letting us know who has the best shave ice / we don’t want to waste any time when we get there / we want to know what is the best of everything / thanks for doing the work that we won’t have to do /we subscribe to your channel and Instagram
Aloha Mike!!! Mahalo to you and your wife for supporting our channel. Yes, Waiola and Shimazu are both in Honolulu and you'll love the Shave Ice there. The Mountain Magic Shave Ice has been getting very popular too out at the Waikele Shopping Center. Their awesome as well!:) Enjoy the Shave Ice in Oahu next month!👍🤙😋
Oh my god I can see my building right I the back of you. I live in Vegas now due to retirement and its too expensive to live in Hawaii on ssi.THANK YOU for sharing
@@SeanKaleponi I desperately want to as soon as this pendant blows over. And I'm definately will go the places you are putting on video especially the noodle place. Thank you both for sharing. You both have great videos and delicious ones too. ALOHA and MAHALO...
Great video you guys!! I feel like I need to get on it and try more of a variety of shave ice around the island. We often do kula in Haleiwa because they have a nice grassy area for the kids to play in. They use all natural syrup so it’s a little more pricey. I tired jejubin in Ala Moana for the first time a few weeks ago…So ono!!
Thanks for watching Janeen! I keep hearing from others how good Kula Shave Ice is so I gotta check it out. And pricey is okay when it's quality. I think Shimazu near the Zoo is okay since they have a big parking area to hang out and eat there. And oh... Jejubing.. I was addicted!!! Nhi would be like "Jejubing again?" Lol. Glad you tried it there!
If you’re ever in the Bay Area check out Always Aloha shave ice. They do pop ups during the warmer months. VERY good and close to Ululanis. Soft ice, homemade flavors, the owners are from Oahu.
Oh I will def check out the Always Aloha Shave Ice if I'm in the Bay area. I didn't even know that and have family that live there. I appreciate the info. Aloha!🤙💯
Omg I always tell people that waiola is the best, but I always thought I was biased since I used to walk there after school a lot when I was little. Good to know that other people think it’s the best too!
Thanks for watching the video Ernie! So that makes 2 of us that think Waiola is the best! I like hearing stories about how it relates to their childhood! Aloha!🤙💯
Ice Ice Baby is the only song I knew word for word as a child! Lol. Enjoy the Shave Ice. My next video will include the Kaneohe Sandbar as part of the video. Please stay tune:) Aloha!:)
OK Sean. The only food that I do not like in Oahu is Shave Ice. I am used to K-Shave Ice (e.g., Jeju Bing - Jeju is the largest island in the southern part of Korea and Bing means "ice" in Korean) Next time when you are in Korea, try Bing. You will never try any other shave ice. Even Jejubing is not good compare to the ones in Korea. Could you do a piece on Zippy's? On the flight back to SF from HNL, I often see someone with Zippy's. What is your favorite Zippy's? Or have you done a video already?
Aloha Min C!! Oh wow!! I wouldnlove to try some Korean Bingsu Shave Ice from Korea. I love Jejubing and I can only imagine getting it from the real source:):) and as fat as Zippys? I don't support them anymore. It was the thing with the locals 10 to 30 years ago. But their quality has gone down a lot and their prices sky rocketed at the same time. So I couldn't even pretend I liked them, even if they paid me. I'll do segments on the local mom and pop shops👍🤙😋
@@SeanKaleponi funny you mentioned it. Last January I tried Zippy’s for the first time. Think it was Zip Pack or something. The Fried chicken was undercooked and raw. You know that is deadly. I complained and they refunded the money. But you are right. That is a sign of poor quality. Question. Heard that there is a Tonkatsu place that requires a four months adv reservation. Cant be that good right? Or have you done Tonkatsu already?
@@SeanKaleponi seriously? Even tho it got moved and closes random times, I feel like the flavors and snow squeak by the current Motosumoto... OLD Motosumoto's before all the re-development, gotta admit was WAY better back then...
We are on a mission to try as many shave ice places we can find this trip. We hit Waiola and it was pretty good. Still feel like Waialua Sugar Mill has been the best. But if you venture out to to Kailua you should definitely check out “Island Snow”, great price, very nice staff, and amazing shave ice.
Aloha ELMS!! Yes there is so much Shave Ice places on the island!:) Waialua Sugar Mill is good. Island Snow is okay to me. They have smaller portions for high price to me. Maybe it's because it's near Kailua Beach or so. But yeah, I still have many places to check out. Mahalo🤙👍
@@SeanKaleponi But you were spot on with your recommendation of KJ’s! We grubbed down on those fried chicken plates. We drove to Nãoneala'aa Kane'ohe Park and had a great afternoon picnic.
Bro that’s so crazy I just came back from my trip and I got post vacation blues so I watched this video, and I discovered that I actually went to the same places as you!!! I got a place for you to try out though, it’s called island vintage shave ice. It’s located at the royal Hawaiian mall (near Sheraton Waikiki) and I gotta say, it ranks up there with Matsumoto and waiola, it might be even better! Give it a try!!!
We heard about matsumoto. So we went there for shave ice. Got rainbow too.. ice cream and milk. they were sold out of the other thing you said...and we were the first in line. Lol And did aulani's shave ice Our north shore videos are coming out this weekend!! They need to have an eating competition with that large shave ice! And a bigger spoon. Lol. From travel with the twins kimiandkari
Can't go wrong with Matsumoto and Aulani Shave Ice. Aulani Shave Ice is Def the most photogenic:) and cool, look forward to seeing your North Shore videos! 🤙 Eating competition with my X Large Shave Ice might be the next video. Lol
Alooooooha Sean! I know you made this video over a year ago but holla at Ululani's I would love to see you try it out and your reactions. David, Ulu and Brad just opened one on Oahu with the franchise owner Jamie there on Kapahulu Ave! If you meet any of them let them know Anthony and Cynthia sent you! They would love your support. Keep up the amazing videos, love your vibes and aloha spirit! braddah Cheeeeeeeeeeho 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Aloha Anthony!! I've heard good things about Ululani's. I havent been to Maui but I heard the Shave Ice is famous there and I did hear they are bringing it to Oahu!:) Ill l tell them you sent me. Mahalo for your support and have a good week🤙👍😋🍧
Kalakaua Ave in Waikiki has a little shave ice stand in front of a fake turf area that hosts bands and music. The shave ice is very good there because the ingredient are more natural and not food colored. I think it is the best.
Aloha Star!! I know what your talking about. Those hard Ice crystals come usually from places that don't even focus on Shave Ice and is just on the menu.
Maybe just my imagination but original Wailoa on Waiola st....tastes a little different than newer one...different mo bettah! there goes my blood sugar!
Sean, I think you need to give the address and web pages of all the shave ice places. I've lived on Oahu my whole life and I only knew some of the more popular places.
Not to take anything away from this channel because I’m hooked. But you can always yelp the places he’s featuring to get location info plus other reviews.
@@SeanKaleponi Cool! They definitely have the best! Their syrup has real kane sugar and no high fructose corn syrup and all proceeds go to help underprivileged youth on the island.
Oh I didn't see Obamas pic at Waiola. If he says it's his favorite. Then alot of us agree with him. Although theirs some really good places like Shimazu!:)
Taiwanese Shave Ice near Hauula on Kamehameha Hwy. get the pina colada. You will swear you died and went to Heaven. It’s a trailer behind in by a jeep. Best shave ice ever!!!
I love you energy and vibes. I also really like how you put the prices and breakdowns on the screen!
Aloha Matthew!! Mahalo for your kind words!! And we try to be as informative and fun as possible. Please enjoy the Shave Ice🤙😋

Matsumoto has cool shirts tho. I think originals were designed by college students. Contest at community college. I think
Shaved ices are my favs…..thanks for your showcase, esp Hawaii’s shaved ices, can’t beat that, 🤤 and such exotic flavors too
Ohhh Hawaii has the Best Shave Ice (just my opinion) Def can't beat the flavors:) Aloha Ann! 🤙💯

It was great talking to you and your wife. Thanks again for the tips
It was nice to meet you and your family BJ! Hope you had a great time here🤙

Thanks for your input! I know quite a bit of the people that grew up eating Shave Ice here, agree with you! Appreciate you watching the video!🤙
Been to maybe 25 or more shave places on 4 major islands. And my opinion. Waiola is my favorite! I love guava!
So glad I watches before our trip. Loved both waiola and matsumoto. Thx for the reviews and was so excited I saw you on our trip this week! Thx Sean.
Aloha Schnauzie! Glad you liked both Waiola and Matsumoto. And sorry if I'm wrong. But are you the guest that was staying at Aulani from Arkansas?

l tell them you sent me. Mahalo for your support and have a good week🤙👍😋🍧
Kalakaua Ave in Waikiki has a little shave ice stand in front of a fake turf area that hosts bands and music. The shave ice is very good there because the ingredient are more natural and not food colored. I think it is the best.
Yes, that's the Island Vintage Shave Ice. I put it at the end of the video as one of the honorable mentions. Mahalo for watching! Aloha🤙💯
My personal favorite is Monsarrat Shave Ice next to Pioneer Saloon
Aloha Kelly! I've heard good things about Monsarrat Shave Ice. I'll check it out. Mahalo👍💯🤙
Matsumoto’ s!!!! Best shaved ice!
Def wouldn't argue with Matsumotos being the best🤙👍😋
Bradah Bradah kine lah’dat broke da mouth 💯🤙🏼
These Shave Ices do broke da mouth fo sure!🤙💯

My sister told me Tats is the best! Def gotta try it out!:)
She has excellent taste 😋

Aloha Loki, Island Vintage Shave Ice at Royal Hawaiian Center.🤙👍😋
I go to Baldwin snack shop in waimalu
Awesome Duke! I like Baldwin too🤙👍😋
island vintage shave ice the best
Good Shave Ice there. A little pricey though 🤙👍🍧
Didnt you use to jog around Kaneohe/Kahaluu?
I still do jog Kaneohe Humble Maniac🤙👍
If you happen to be at Aloha Tower Marketplace, check us out at HItalian Ice for unique artisanal shave ices. Itʻs quite different.
Aloha Hitalian Ice!! Mahalo for the invite! The next time I'm around the area, I'll swing by. Happy New Years!🤙👍
I love shave ice that's like powder snow not hard ice crystals!!!
Aloha Star!! I know what your talking about. Those hard Ice crystals come usually from places that don't even focus on Shave Ice and is just on the menu.
I like Balwin's in Waimalu
I still gotta go Balwins!:)🤙
Shimazu now
Enjoy Shimazus!🤙👍
Hey dude I know your Boxing Student Kainoa I know him from school.
Whatsup, come down where we're at sometime. Kainoa will tell you where we train.

Aloha Solarizeyourlife! I don't know how much, but more than any another place. I'll bring a scale next time:)🤙👍 Mahalo for watching!:)
🌺🌺🌺🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🌺🌺🌺. 😋😋.
OooOOOoooooOOOOOoo…. So ono looking!!!
The Shave Ice here is definitely ono!!! Hope you get to try it soon! Aloha!:)
Your right Sean Waiola has the softest shave ice.
Aloha Sebs! I just went to Waiola the other day! Softest and tastiest Shave Ice:)😋👍🤙🌈
Maybe just my imagination but original Wailoa on Waiola st....tastes a little different than newer one...different mo bettah! there goes my blood sugar!
You know what's funny is that I never tried the other Waiola except for that one on Waiola St. It's the original so must be the best🤙😋
Sean, I think you need to give the address and web pages of all the shave ice places. I've lived on Oahu my whole life and I only knew some of the more popular places.
Aloha Samuel! Did you see the description of this video? All the places and websites are listed there !:)🤙
@@SeanKaleponi I see them now thanks Sean.
Not to take anything away from this channel because I’m hooked. But you can always yelp the places he’s featuring to get location info plus other reviews.
That's in Kaneohe
Aloha Hana! I'm from Kaneohe🤙👍
I like uncle Clays
Uncle Clays is ono!🤙😋
Go to Angels ice cream you’ll change you mind
Aloha Ryan, I'll check out Angel's! Mahalo🤙
😳😳😳🍨🍧🍨😋😋😋
😋🤙👍🌈
Hi sir my I know the price
Aloha Eileen! Prices prob changed since this video. I have the descriptions down below👍🤙
What about AOKI’s 😢
Ummm, I'm not the biggest fan of Aokis to be honest Jerel. But if others like it, cool🤙👍😋
Kauai's best shave ice is Jojo's.
I'll be going there when I'm in Kauai!:)
@@SeanKaleponi Cool! They definitely have the best! Their syrup has real kane sugar and no high fructose corn syrup and all proceeds go to help underprivileged youth on the island.
Supposedly Waiola is Obama’s favorite. 🤔 I’ll have to try all of em to verify 😂
Oh I didn't see Obamas pic at Waiola. If he says it's his favorite. Then alot of us agree with him. Although theirs some really good places like Shimazu!:)
Obama’s spot is Island Snow in Kailua! They have plenty photos of his visits on the walls
If they require a mask, they don't need my money.
It Statewide Mandatory early 2021. Not anymore🤙
Taiwanese Shave Ice near Hauula on Kamehameha Hwy. get the pina colada. You will swear you died and went to Heaven. It’s a trailer behind in by a jeep. Best shave ice ever!!!
Aloha Olytiger! Mahalo for the heads up! I featured them in a Kaneohe video 5 months ago. So good and I like the Taiwanese style.🤙
