Michael ChangJuly 9, 2017Delicious shaved ice! Make sure your shaved ice has melona (honewdew-esque flavor). The coconut cream on top is the icing on the cake.

Norman EllisDecember 16, 2016They guys working here know how to hook up a shaved ice. If you're like me and you add a lot of extras then make sure to get a large size. And eat them fast they melt quickly.

Alyssa GhazalieSeptember 9, 2018Love at first bite - the strips are store-made using real cane sugar instead of corn syrup, and every bite is loaded with flavor!

Chris WongApril 18, 2017The ice is as fine as powdered snow. Choose from 60 flavors, many of them tropical tastes such as coconut and mango, and others such as cotton candy and pistachio.UpvoteDownvote
Tim DengJanuary 5, 2020What a huge amount of shaved ice. Some of it at the bottom is just blocks of ice but the ice cream at the bottom makes up for itUpvoteDownvote
KrisŦen RiveraDecember 23, 2012You must stop here! It is worth any line that you have to wait in! Don't go to the competitor down the road! This is the one and only! (: love it!UpvoteDownvote
Billy HenehanAugust 22, 2012The #2 is a great post-hiking reward. I recommend eating that and then immediately walking back inside for a second shaved ice.Upvote1Downvote
Benson ChanJanuary 18, 2015On your way out to Waimea Canyon, stop by this local favorite for Hawaii's famous shave ice. Expect long lines.UpvoteDownvote
DJ CapobiancoOctober 5, 2016Most flavorful shave ice I've had! Also, the macadamia ice cream was solid.UpvoteDownvote- Brian RSeptember 4, 2012#6!! Awesome. #2 is great, especially when you get to the Mac nut ice cream on the bottom! They were out of Halo Halo on my visit. :(UpvoteDownvote
Lisa WJuly 14, 2019Fantastic! Get the Tropical breeze or the North Shore! Soooo yummy.UpvoteDownvote
laura honeycuttJuly 16, 2010This is the true original Jo-Jo's. The ingredients are much more natural and better than Jo-Jo's Original. Try to Guava, Pina Colada and Passion Orange combo!UpvoteDownvote- Patrick HaleyJanuary 18, 2016Get it Hawaiian style with macadamia nut ice cream on the bottom.UpvoteDownvote
Andy PascalMarch 9, 2013I know it's a local favorite but didn't love it. Good bang for your buck if you're into it though.UpvoteDownvote
Meghan SutherlandDecember 28, 2013#6 is amazing! Definitely worth the wait and long lines!UpvoteDownvote
Rachel S.July 3, 2011Really delicious... #6 is amazing! But it's unbearably hot and don't expect good service.UpvoteDownvote

Sara BensonNovember 8, 2011The real Jo-Jo's. Don't bother with the "original" competitor down the way.Upvote2Downvote
Kathy GillOctober 1, 2010Number 6 was very good! Small is plenty for one; two can split medium. Service is slow, however.Upvote2Downvote
Kate SchultzApril 8, 2011Make sure you come here to the "Original Jo-Jos" the other one on the main street isn't as good and the owner is rude!UpvoteDownvote
Elizabeth MohneyApril 26, 2010Make sure to order your shave ice with Mac nut ice cream.Upvote1Downvote
