Came here for an after-dinner dessert when we were craving shave ice. It's a unique place - they puree fruit, freeze it into a block, and then shave it to make the gigantic concoction. We got the mango and it was really good. It was very light and airy. I think my family liked it more than me, but it was a novelty that hit the spot.

I saw this place in a local coupon booklet for 15% off of total purchase. This place in next to Enterprise, it not where is shows on yelp map. I tried updating it but yelp hasn't yet. We got the small strawberry sensation and the small coffee sensation ones totaling $21.97. I had the strawberry one and it had some white gelatin like thing, mini sorbet scoops in it. It was pretty good!

My family came here twice in three days because we loved it so much. The strawberry and mango were our favorites, but make sure to get condensed milk on both! It adds a level of sweetness that we think it needs and deserves. We loved how fluffy and soft these are, unlike anything we've ever had. Our honest opinion is that the way they do it here is even better than shaved ice. "the mango did a tango on my tastebuds. the strawberry was very merry with the dairy"- My dad. As you can tell, he really liked this place.

This isn't your typical shave ice, it feels like the fruit and condensed milk is infused with the ice. Similar to class 302. Nevertheless, we opted for the mango popsicle. It looks flavorful and had real mango bits in it. One really enjoyed and the other not so much. It comes shaped like the ice monster character.

Presentation was terrible. I must've gotten the end of ice block or something. My ordered didn't even fill the cup and it was smashed in a Togo container but I didn't ask for it Togo. It wasn't even picture worthy. I feel like I got ripped off for the order I got. My SIL ordered the same thing just moments before I did and hers turned out nice and the cup was overfilled.

The Ice Monster is next to Hyatt Centric/Starbucks. There is ample amount of space to eat the Shaved Ice Cream. Went to counter and there were examples of the two sizes they offer. We got a strawberry regular. It was plenty for us to share amongst the two of us. It had shavings of ice and then a scoop or two of strawberry ice cream, along with a white drizzle and a custard. I had no idea what the white substance was, and the worker said a custard. Didn't eat it, didn't like the look of the consistency. Overall, it was fine, not sure we will go back with all the other options in the area.

The texture of the ice is unbeatable. Instead of the usual Hawaiian shaved ice where they pour fake juice on the rough crushed ice, the Ice Monster's ice is premixed with juice (or coffee) in a machine and it comes out shaved. But it's not your typical crushed ice. It's the finest consistency. The man (who I think is the owner) is the sweetest. He just greets everyone with a warm smile. He reminds me of Mr Duncan in Home Alone 2, but Asian.

Great stuff! My son cannot have artificial dyes and this shave ice has none! Awesome flavor, the only problem with it is they don't have one near my home.

Wow This Shave ice was something else! We were walking by almost 10pm looking for a shave ice spot, we were actually headed to another place down the street and this place caught our attention. The nice gentleman cleaning up let us know to come and try your not usual shave ice with syrup over ice. So we said hell let's try something different. Oh man so good, different in a great way.

Delicious as always. Everytime I've gone the small is enough for 2 people. I recommend the mango sensation.

This place blew my mind. While walking in we were greeted by a worker giving out samples of the mango. It was delicious so I was excited to see what else was on the menu. The cashier recommended the mango because it's the most popular and matcha. I decided on a small matcha. The serving size was ginormous! The matcha was so flavorful. It came with condensed milk, ice cream, and boba. There was plenty of seating inside as well. I would definitely recommend this Ice Monster if you're looking for a cold sweet treat!

This place was the epitome of excellence. The venue was very cute and wonderful, and there's no better experience than walking through Waikiki and getting shaved ice. The name does not lie - the shaved ice here is massive. The taste was impeccable, the texture was incredible. Although it's not traditional Hawaiian shaved ice, this Asian style desert won't disappoint. The flavor is infused into the ice and it packs a wonderful punch. The manager and staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful, we had a very pelassent conversation. 12/10, it is a must if your visiting Oahu!!

This is tasty, but definitely on the expensive side for shaved ice/shaved snow. This isn't classic shaved ice in the sense that the flavor is already in the ice, then it's shaved into a portion, rather than portioning out the ice then adding flavor. My sister and I had the mango and matcha shaved snows, and they were both delicious and large portions, although quite pricey (~$13 each instead of the typical $6-7 for shaved ice). The ice cream served with the shaved snow was very flavorful (mango and black sesame), and the mango topping was super ripe, and the mochi and boba toppings were very soft, fresh, and chewy. I'd say this is good shaved snow but be ready to pay more than you would expect to pay for shaved ice.

Awesome shaved ice! I ordered the mango. The best shaved ice I've ever had. Huge serving size. Ordered through DoorDash, received an estimated time and pick up was easy. Spacious interior. No restrooms.

Got the fresh mango sensation. It was super good. The snow itself was so soft and flavorful, better than any snow I've had. The toppings were delicious too, my favorite being the fresh mango. Large open area with lots of tables and nice vibes. We went a little later and there were only two people working but they were doing a great job even with the amount of people ordering.
