| - Shave ice (or ice shave if you're from hilo) is the perfect treat for the ridiculous Vegas heat. Ever since big island boba closed, I've had shave ice withdrawals. Its great to finally have a place that's also on my side of town.
Their flavors were pretty unique, but they were out of about 8 things. I opted for wedding cake just out of curiosity. It was good but I wouldn't say that it tasted like wedding cake - I mainly tasted vanilla. Roomie got banana and strawberry - banana tasted like banana, strawberry was tart and we both didn't care for it. I guess I got too exited when ordering, because I totally forgot about adding condensed milk or ice cream.
As another review mentioned, service wasn't awesome. Then again how happy would you be packed into a trailer in 100+ degrees? I put $20 on the counter right in front of her, which the wind blew away. Roomie had to chase it and luckily got it before it flew into the street, while the girl remarks "yeah that happens a lot." If she knows that happens a lot, why not grab my damn money right away?
I also thought they were kind of stingy with the syrup. You get a straw and everywhere else I've had shave ice, you drink the combined syrup on the bottom. Even at the end, standing in 100 degree heat, there was nothing to slurp up. As a kid, that was my fav part so I was a little bummed.
I'll definitely go again but maybe I'll pay with quarters next time.
