Matsumoto Shave Ice

Cheap shave ice. Flavors decent. Wish they had fresh fruit toppings. Ask for a glove change and fresh scooper otherwise higher risk cross contamination from the wheat bowls!

Very generous portions of shave ice and a great variety of flavors. Have had this twice, wonderful both times. I didn’t go for any toppings or mochi, just the basics. $4 for a large shave ice, best price in Hawaii!

Only thing that contains gluten is the waffle bowl. This is seriously some damn good shave ice!!! The line moves quickly so it’s definitely worth the wait.

Go early! The line gets very long! My group got a total of six flavors. They were all good! Personally I got watermelon with ice cream and condensed milk to share with my husband. It was so good and save! The best shave ice on the island!

I love traditional shave ice, and this place is the best place to go for it. I ordered a specialty option that wasn’t listed on the menu but every Hawaiian and Local knows what it is. I ordered a POG (passion fruit, orange, guava) shave ice with condensed milk. It was so good and exactly what I wanted.

I am a human gluten detector. I was super impressed and felt so safe. There is only 1 item that no one ordered while I watched 20 different people get orders. It's a cone bowl I believe. I ordered ice cream, shaved ice, sweet beans, and 3 different flavors, with condensed milk, and mochi. So so awesome. I told them my gluten intolerance, and they gave me a little red tag, and another went to a woman who immediately changed gloves and did several thing without asking that were so appropriate, cleaning scoops and such. Highly recommend!! And no signs of being glutened!! I reacte with a migraine within 30 minutes, But not here!! So safe!
