I live here in Hawaii, on Oahu and this place is STILL the famous place to go for shaved ice.

Actually, it’s a Hawaiian thing. In Hawaii they call it Shave Ice. No leaving off the D–that’s what it’s called.

Love love love this place! Hey, those guys are smart: WHo do you think sent to pic in? Free advertising!! And snowballs somewhere else is not the same. Matsamotos is fluffy and delish, not grainy and hard. I’ve had “shave ice” on the mainland and there is no comparison. And I don’t care how many beans you put in it, nothing like Dave’s Ice Cream. Now, if I could get my hands on some potato/mac salad I’d be good to go!

Marie – Much like how your area calls it Snoballs, in Hawaii they call it Shave Ice. Even here in California people who are selling it Hawaiian style (with the beans, condensed milk and ice cream options) they sell it as Shave Ice. Say you go to the carnival or something, where it’s just the typical kind that has no Hawaiian ties then they call it Shaved Ice. Deal with it.

actually don’t see anything wrong with this one except too much background on top…spell it like it sounds. good product, good location, maybe a little gimmick= money

ShaveD ice – I hate when people leave off the “D” – like IceD tea, not ice tea, or oversizeD load, not oversize load.
Anyway, they call them Snoballs here.
