Wow, can't believe I'm the first one to review this place! Most of the shops in Aina Haina tend to go out of business every couple of years to be replaced by new ones, but Doe Fang has been there since I was a kid. I've been going there for Icees for as long as I can remember, but what really made Doe Fang special was when Uncle Clay took it over in '96. He adds a personal touch to every Icee with stuff like Chinese herbal Jell-o, coconut cream, li hing or azuki. Even if you're not in the mood for an Icee (like when it gets cold in February, hehe) it's fun to go just to chat with Uncle Clay and the other customers. You can also get a variety of other things - crackseed, toys, slippahs and Pokemon cards, to name a few - and on Saturday mornings if you're in the mood for fresh dim sum but don't feel like going all the way to Chinatown, Uncle Clay will have a wide assortment of manapuas, fried taro, manju and other good stuff set out on the counter smelling good!

• Pros: Uncle Clay!, super friendly place, good snacks, inexpensive, good place for kids
• Cons: none
