The Lab “Real Hawaiian Shave ice”

Best shave ice I’ve had outside of Hawaii! So ono; if you come visit the 9^th Island, you gotta stop in. Plenty flavors, condensed milk, ice cream in da bottom, good vibe, lots of aloha! Mahalo to The Lab for giving me some 8−0−8 nostalgia!

Absolutely love this place! Hawaiian Shave Ice with ice cream on the bottom and condensed milk is the closest thing to the island! And the pineapple dole whip just like the one at Disneyland. Definitely worth going to this place and definitely worth coming back, great environment and great service!
Also worth trying is their milkshakes!

This business was brought to my attention as the owner visited a patient of mine from work. Offering real Hawaiian shaved ice, Thrifty’s ice cream, and Dole Whip, one stop could satisfy a whole family’s various sweet tooth/​teeth.
Normally I would not go out of the way to Meadows Mall as it is far from where I live but I now have a reason to stop by if I’m in the area again.
Two locations inside Meadow’s mall (a booth downstairs) provides some of the nicest dole whips and Hawaiian shaved ices you can enjoy here in Vegas. I opted to try a shaved ice with half Tiger’s blood and half P.O.G. with condensed milk drizzled over everything.
Tiger’s blood (usually watermelon, strawberry, and a hint of coconut) was nice and sweet and I also enjoyed the P.O.G. (Passion fruit, Orange, Guava). Served with a spoon and a straw, the size was huge and good enough for two.
The dole whip was just as refreshing as ever. I’m not nearly a pineapple fan but I’ll gladly take this frozen concoction any and every day. I suggest you try this as well if you have never had the opportunity to do so. If it was Disneyland’s best kept dessert for a long time, you know it must be good!

This place is great and the girls r very nice and they explained what they had as the shaved ice and I’ve cream, very friendly. And the shaved ice is pretty big u can also add more flavors instead of just doing one. This place is clean and fun.

Pretty good. Not bad for not being the real deal like Hawaii. But I’d go back. Make sure you find the coupon deal. They’re out there.

I ordered the shaved ice with a scoop of ice cream I’m from Hawaii and they sell shaved icestop by if you’re in the meadows mall food court

Unbelievable… was exactly like the shaved ice we got in Hawaii. I found this place by searching on Unilocal and took my fellow Unilocalers advice and got the Tigers blood and POG with dole whip on the bottom. Staff was friendly and answered our questions. I can’t wait to go back

Overpriced, bad customer service. You could go to thriftys ice cream and get the same for half the price with friendlier employees. Not employees that don’t even greet you and focus on what they’re going to play on YouTube on the tv mounted on the wall.

This was my first time here.
I was leaving the food court and on my way out I noticed a Thrifty’s Ice cream sign. Took a step back and was digging the whole set up. It had a very modern ice cream parlor shop look with the Hawaii feel customer service.
Me coming from Hawaii, it’s great to finally have something like this in Las Vegas. Shaved Ice is well needed in the Vegas heat.
This is the 3^rd store in this location. It was once a cupcake place, coffee place & now «The Lab» I wish them all the luck.
For the best Thrifty’s Ice Cream & Hawaiian Shaved Ice, I recommend this place.

Located in the small wing near the entrance to the mall (the parking lot is Sears side) and the beginning of the Food Court (the end is Johnny Rockets or the smoothie place); one of the closest restaurants is Panda Express, across the way. It’s small, but there are a few tables with bar/​pub height chairs. It’s clean. The menu is easy to read. The ladies there are pretty nice, and will give you an ice cream sample, if you ask for it.
We’ve only had the Thrifty ice cream (lots of yummy flavors available) so far, but my in-​laws had the Dole Whip (said it was just as good as they remembered having it on our past Hawaii trip). I grew up with Thrifty ice cream (there was one in my city that we would go to regularly, especially after school), so it’s part nostalgia whenever we get Thrifty ice cream nowadays. When Thrifty (the store chain) closed down here, lots of places (ie. gas stations) decided to carry the popular ice cream brand. Glad it’s inside of the Meadows Mall, too.
We sat at the table and listened to Hip-​Hop that was playing while the videos were on the flat-​screen TV inside.
We’ll be back! I’m definitely going to try a different flavor of Thrifty ice cream, or even get Dole Whip next time.

Beats having to track a food truck down just to get it. We used to go to the shave ice stand at the indoor swap meet on decatur and Snow ono… but since they all closed down… this is by far the next best thing. It’s the closest thing to Hawaiian Shave Ice as you can get! They even serve that famous Dole.
I love that it is situated in a mall. Beats having to stand in the sun on a scorching hot summer day with 2 kids, a toddler, and a baby in tow. It’s located in the food court across the nail shop. How is a nail shop in a food court? It’s not really, just gotta walk down a few steps after Panda Express and boom.
As for the clutter of random candy sold on their counter… I don’t mind it. It just reminds me of the mom and pop shops back in HI. 4 stars because it only comes in 1 size. Wish they offered at least a kid size for those with children…5 bucks a kid is pretty steep and a waste if they don’t finish it. So why don’t I just use my brain and split between kids? Welp, with all the flavors to choose from… none of my boys will want to share or give up portioning. They’ll end up fighting trying to scoop some of whoever has shave ice left. Nothing like a bunch of kids fighting to ruin the vibe. Lol
I can go on but you gotta go for yourself. You won’t be disappointed and it really is a great treat esssspecially if you have dairy allergies (as a few of my kids do).
Eat up then shop up after! Haha…

Yesterday 6−28−15 around 2PM I got a strong hankering for a Dole Whip. I turned to my trusty friend, Unilocal,and found this place.
I was so torn because I wanted a shave ice AND a Dole Whip… but get this… you can get your shave ice «snow-​capped», meaning a little dollop of dole whip ON TOP OF YOUR SHAVE ICE. Genius. The shave ice is $ 5 and there’s only one size, the snow-​cap was like 50, so the total with tax was $ 5.95.
The shave ice was very nicely shaped and had an adequate amount of tiger’s blood syrup on it. My only complaints would be the syrup was just sweet… there was no sourness or acidity to it, and the texture was more icy than I’m used to for shave ice. I prefer Sno Ono… DAT DOLE WHIP THO… oooh lordy it was good.
The gal working was nice… she really took her time and made our treats lovely and delicious. They were playing techno music on a big screen tv and I saw a DJ turntable… they’re going for an EDC vibe I think. It was clean enough but the front is completely cluttered with miscellaneous junk like candies for sale, broken suckers, a valentine’s gift basket??? Bizarre… looks like they should do a little spring cleaning.
Overall not bad, and I’d come back.

I’ve had shave ice in Hawaii — — this is definitely the closest to the real thing that I’ve had in Vegas. The service was fast and friendly. Will be back if in the area.

I took my daughter here. I love it because it’s lactose free and she’s lactose intolerant so she got to taste this delicious treat I grew up on in hawaii. It’s very close to my house which makes it convenient for me if I want to get some dessert for me and my daughter. Located inside the meadows mall. I like the dole pineapple with whip and li hing mui.

This place is sooo good… The Dole pineapple whip with lemon is amazing!!!
The customer service is on point as well… Super nice !!!
Oh… For those lactose intolerant people… It’s dairy free!!!

I really loved the girl helping behind the counter. The mall was closing and she hadn’t counted her drawer yet so she was able to go out of her way and help even though we showed up two minutes before closing. The Hawaiian Shaved ice was really good. Really hit the spot after a hot afternoon at the park. I would have gotten a smaller one the sizes are huge. A nice place to hang out.

Pretty sweet flavors. Would recommend all the flavors.
First try was my favorite all time shaved ice is bubblegum. Takes me back to the days.

Aw so glad the manager got back to me ! I will definitely give you guys another try and I am excited to do so :)

They have a great selection of shave ice flavors and goodies (thrifty ice cream, pineapple whip, waffles and candies). Pretty decent prices for what u get. Nice clean space only a few seats inside but it’s right on the side of food court with lots of seating. Had the tigers blood/​POG shave ice & dole whip, both were great and service was quick. Try them out while u shop at Meadows mall (or wait for your wife lol)
