Great atmosphere, great vibes, very touristy. Unfortunately, the shaved ice is mid. The texture is like eating crushed ice, more crunchy than smooth. The syrups they use are also too sweet for my tastes. I recommend My Happy Place in Honolulu, not as busy or touristy but serves 10x better shaved ice.

This shaved ice shop is very popular on the North Shore among locals, Japanese tourists, and foreign tourists alike.There's always a line, but it's quick because they're quick.As soon as you enter the store, you go to the ``order counter'' where you select the ``size'' (of the shaved ice), ``type (of the syrup)'', and ``toppings''. The staff then writes it on a paper plate and hands it to the cashier. Pay at the cash register.Receive the finished shaved ice.Goods such as T-shirts are on the right hand side, so it seems best to enter from the side.Occasionally, the owner, Stan Matsumoto, will be inside or outside the shop, so be sure to ask him to take a photo with you. If you call out to them and ask them, they will readily respond.Parking: You can use the parking lot of the mall called Haleiwa Store Lots, which also houses Matsumoto Shave Ice.You can use the parking lot at the mall called Haleiwa Store Lots, which also has Matsumoto Shave Ice.
Best shaved ice I’ve ever had. Our favorite “combo” at our shaved ice place state-side is “weekend at the beach” - raspberry, peach, sour apple combined with sweetened condensed milk on top. So I decided to try that combo here and it BLEW my state side version OUT OF THE WATER!! SOO SO GOOD. This place gave us the REAL weekend at the beach!! ??

No one can resist the ice desserts at this delightful shore circle, especially on a hot day after beach activities. It's a fun, bustling spot with a variety of food trucks around. Don't miss the store inside, where you can grab childhood favorites and Asian snacks—a hit with the kids. Highly recommend for a refreshing stop!

Matsumoto Shave Ice is the ultimate spot for a refreshing shave ice experience. It is a must stop (again a must stop)each time I visit Oahu. The atmosphere exudes relaxation, making it the perfect place to unwind while enjoying their delicious treats. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's a must-visit destination for a taste of Hawaiian paradise.Parking: Due to the popularity of Matsumoto's it can be difficult at time to find parking. The experience is worth any parking inconvenience.Kid-friendliness: Kids love it!

It has a different flavor from Japanese shaved ice and is delicious ? I thought it was just shaved ice, but I was disappointed in a good way ?
