★★★★★ 5.0 McCall B. · Nov 2025

The best shaved ice on the island!! We sampled all over the island and they have the smoothest, softest ice and wonderful spot-on natural flavors with plenty of juice that soaks into every bite. Emi, the owner, and her staff are super kind and friendly. Don't forget the add-ons for haupia pudding, mochi, and more!

The absolute best shave ice!! Homemade authentic flavors without the artificial tastes. Right down to homemade mochi!! Ube and mango was so good, had to go back for seconds in one day and up size to ONO. You will not be disappointed and worth every last bite 💜 Don’t forget to ask for the kombucha too! 🤙🏽

This was some of the best Hawaiian shave ice I've ever had! The ice was so smooth and almost creamy, the fresh made toppings were so good (I got Haupia, Pineapple, with coconut cream on top!😋) definitely the authentic shave ice experience we were looking for!

★★★★★ 5.0 Halla Phillips · Sep 2025

This is a small family owned business and it is so so so good! Honestly probably one of if not my top shave Ice I have had. The flavours are so yummy and there is a bunch to choose from, the toppings are perfect and they have mochi which was the original reason we went to sunskai as other shave Ice places don’t have it 🥲. I highly recommend this place, you will not regret it and the ladies serving are so friendly and sweet. (Didn’t get a photo before we started eating it because it was too good)

We had the most delightful experience, it was my husband’s first time enjoying shave ice and the owner was super friendly and explained to him exactly how they make it and all the different flavor options. She was even so kind as to share some ideas on where to visit during our trip. Definitely a must do when in Kaui.
