Best shave ice ever! Shave ice was super smooth. Great flavors. The ice cream was delicious too. We had one and coconut ice cream.

I didn't realize it til later but they really upcharged the f**k outta the cookie butter milkshake. I wanna say ever since that foodie posted a video - now the keiki (small) is $10 and some change and the larger one is $11 and some change even though their board literally says $7.99 and $8 something. Besides the price it is good.

On a lark, we stopped here to check out whether they sold beach chairs. They didn't, but they do rent them. No interest in that. But what did interest us was their snack bar which featured milk shakes among other specialties. We both ordered a sugar cookie caramel milk shake with crumbled cookies on top. What a great decision that was. The milk shake was incredibly good! We really enjoyed this place. Nice people and an outstanding milk shake.

I came here for food. Yes, I said food. The Poke Nachos here aren't cheap but you get what you pay for. Fresh fish and sauce on top of crispy chips. So simple but so good. Check out the photo to see how good it looks. It tastes even better.

You will not know how special this place is until you get there. Yes, its a surf shop. Yes, the clothing is on point. I bought a cool shirt from here. Shave ice is the kind I like, and they got the extras that go with it. Sunglasses. Bodyboards. Fins. Mask & Snorkels. Boom!But what you dont know is that THEY SELL POKE BOWLS TOO! Yup. Poke by the pound. Poke Bowls. And our favorite...POKE NACHOS. If you dont believe me, go look for yourself. I went there plenty of times just for the poke. IYKYK. And now you know.

Delicious shave ice and friendly staff! The mochi is an excellent addition. We got a regular size and it was huge. Watermelon and pina colada were both tasty flavors.

Omg. I was having the worst day, and it was almost time to pick up my child from school nearby. I've been meaning to come here to pick up some Opae for the longest time to try it out.I came in here looking to just pick up the opae. I ended up seeing that they have shave ice and poke bowls.The laulau poke combo caught my eye. It was a bit expensive considering I was still going to get the opae, but with the day I was having...I said eff it.I made a huge mistake because it was so good. Not only did it turn my day all the way around, but it also made me want to come in here more EVERYDAY. What am I going to do now? I told my coworker I'm going to work here part-time so I can get a discount on the food if it's not free when I'm working.The poke was freshly made and of excellent quality. The laulau was also homemade and a bit small, but you can tell it was well thought out when it was put together. There was a nice piece of fat in there for flavor and a nice size piece of pork considering the size of the laulau as a whole.I don't like that I live nearby because of the temptation! Great job on the excellent setup. BTW. I noticed immediately when I walked in that it smelled nice inside the store. Random, i know. It wasn't the food I was smelling. I couldn't place it, but it was noticeable and a pleasant surprise. So much so that I said it outloud. This is truly a hidden gem.

Girls working today were young and rude. Never expected that from a local store. Got the "Da nanakuli gov" shake. 5 stars for the shake. 0 stars for customer service. Parking accessible. Always trying to support the local shops on the west side ,but bad 1st interaction for me at Kainalus.

We made a quick stop before the beach! Staff were all very friendly and patient. It was our first time so it did take us a while to decide on what we were all going to order lol. Kids loved the shave ice. I had the spicy ahi bowl and Chantilly brownie which was both very delish. Spicy ahi bowl came with pickled daikon/carrots and Taegu. We will be back and try some of the other pupu's desserts.

I went in with friends to check out this spot. We all said Aloha when we walked in but the cashier didn't even look up from her phone to respond. We went up to look at the menu and wanted to order but she still didn't look up from her phone. We all just left. Didn't get a chance to try the food but we felt very unwelcome.
