Reviews for Matsumoto Shave Ice in Haleiwa, HI
This is some of the best shaved ice that I have had on island? similar feel to some little shacks in Honolulu. It?s very... delicious, it?s a great price too, and it?s located in a cute little plaza with other eateries and shops. The customer servicewas great, and everyone was polite even while busy. I would come here more often if I lived closer. Read more
I knew I?d need to try Shave Ice during the trip but did not expect it to be this good? wow!!! Matsumoto is tagged for being the... best in Hawaii and fully deserves its reputation. Reasonably priced too at $5 for a medium size with condensed milk - similarfound for $6-9 in Waikiki. Cool shop with some nice merchandise. As expected you need to queue but it moves fairly quickly. Adefinite recommendation ???????? Read more
Simple but perfect. We were sent here at the suggestion of our local friends and we loved the flavors. We just got the basic... shave ice with 3 flavors with mango, guava and lime. Each flavor was distinct and refreshing. Service was lighting fast. Fromline to order to pick up, it was 3 minutes. For two small orders, cost was about $7, which surprised the hell out of meconsidering other places charge 2 to 3 times as much for the same. Great little area to sit an enjoy it as well. Would love tocome back soon! Read more
First, I do have to mention that I opted for all of the sugar-free flavors which all tasted like one flavor. How does 3... different flavors taste the same? The shave ice is nothing special. I really feel like no matter what shave ice place I go to inHawaii I wouldn't enjoy it. It's like spam and rice all 3 are overrated. I purchased a large at $4 which is a reasonable price.I just wished I enjoyed it. Read more
The best traditional shave ice on the island!!!! Worth the wait 100% There is a nice big tree for shade while you wait and there... was even live music while we were there so it made the whole experience quite pleasant. We decided to enjoy our treats rightthere since it was such a nice set up. Definitely add this to your list when you're in Haleiwa ???? Read more
Stopped here on a Thursday around 1 pm. The line was long but moved fairly quickly. There is a parking lot in the back of the... shops and public restrooms as well. Ordering the shave ice is pretty straight forward and they are quick to make it. I got yuzu,guava, and mango with mochi and condensed milk. The shave ice tasted great! The flavors all tasted amazing and the ice wasadequately soaked so there wasn't any unflavored ice. All my dining companions enjoyed their shave ice too. Definitely worth astop for shave ice!

There was a long line but actual waiting time was much less than I expected. Yes, they were really fast making shave ice by... working together very efficiently. It was like a belt conveyor! Very impressive. Of course, the shave ice was so good!!!Small size was big enough for me and very reasonable. Read more
There is always a line here but it moves really fast. I had the rainbow with all the extras in it. I think that?s how one should... order. I love the extra stuff. It costs more but you get to elevate your shave ice experience. I really like the mochi and thebeans. I wish I tried other flavors besides the rainbow flavors. My husband tried the lilikoi, coconut and pineapple. I wouldn?tsay this is the best shave ice we?ve had but it?s a great place to have shave ice since they offer so many different flavors andextras.
