Rainbow House Shave Ice

Super flavorful shave ice! You have the option of adding fresh fruit or ice cream on top for just a bit more — totally worth it.

This place was a delicious treat to stumble upon and was also one of the only places that accepted credit cards in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere on my way back from the beach. The shaved ice is DELICIOUS as was the ice cream with all the fresh fruit on top. Wish I could ship some back home to me right now. Yum!

This is the best shave ice on the island! I had the root beer shave ice with vanilla ice cream. Amazing!

Very good. Not as big as your head but good size and only $ 3. Lychee is great. And the coconut, mango, passion fruit, …smoothies too

Nice place for a refreshment. Tried their #1 Tropical mix smoothie, love it! Not so sweet which is just the way I like. Tasted really fruity. Also tried pineapple and coconut shaved ice without cream. Soooooooo good. Don’t miss it!

honestly the best shaved ice i have ever had!!! prices are great and owners are friendly. we plan to go back many times before we leave!!!

Went here for my first time, loved it every thing was actually real fruit no dairy witch Is perfect for some like me.

So tasty! Got a smoothie for my daughter and ginger lime drinks for us — super refreshing after our beach morning. I was excited to see an avocado smoothie on the menu and hope to go back for it, as well as trying their shaved ices.

Stopped here on the way to sunset beach, passion mango, and the cherry lime shaved ice. Great flavor and service for a super low cost of 6 dollars, would deft come back to this place since it was a great value and they have tons of options a to choose from.

This place is awesome not only do you get great tasting shaved ice but the prices and the service are great. Each time I’m on the North Shore I stop here for a refreshing treat. The consistency of the ice is the best as it does not melt as soon as I get outside

I got the lychee flavored shaved ice with condensed milk and it exceeded my expectations. Great price and great customer service! Thanks for existing :)

We made it our mission to find the best shave ice on the island during our week long vacation on Oahu. This place passed all of our critiques for all of the other places and was ranked our #1 out 7 different places. This places ice was very finely shaved, the syrup (which is made by the owner in house) was lavishly poured over and the sweetened condensed milk was also not skimped on. The customer service was great too. 5 stars!

Based on the prior review, I have to assume this is the name of this place as I couldn’t find it anywhere. Either way, these were the best all fruit smoothies we had on the island. The lady working was exceptionally nice, and she walked us through her recommendations and exactly how she made the drinks (all fruit … No fillers, yogurt, etc. except where listed). The tropical mix was fantastic and the price was way too low for the quality. Can also grab some shrimp from the adjacent food truck

Who needs Matsumoto’s when you have Rainbow House?!? Seriously, this place is awesome! The lady working today was really, really sweet. I think she might be the owner. My friend & I each ordered a shave ice (strawberry & li hing mui for me with ice cream, li hing mui for my friend). They are SUPER cheap & the syrup flavoring is PERFECT. Not too sweet or intense but not too watery either. Every single bite was perfection. Also, they ran out of vanilla ice cream so she added coconut ice cream to my shave ice… HOLY SHIZNIT. BEST COCONUT ICE CREAM EVER. I didn’t want to ask but I’m pretty sure it is HOMEMADE. My friend got a scoop of the mango ice cream after she finished her shave ice & she loved that too.
The business is also fairly new; the nice lady told my friend they’ve only been open approximately 5 months now. She starts at 11am & stays in the afternoon/​evening until whenever. There is no sign with their name on the building so it might be a little difficult to find. They are located in the little shack shops by the first Fumi’s when you’re heading from Pupukea towards Kahuku. There is also a tiki shop, a sea glass jewelry shop & a souvenir/​tshirt/​shell necklace shop. HIGHLY recommend. I know I will be coming here from now on whenever I come out to the beach.
