This charming little shop is very clean and offers a variety of mochi to choose from. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and was assisted right away. There was one employee working at the register and another in the back. The service was attentive and efficient although there was only one person on the floor. They carry a great assortment of mochi and manju, including some varieties that need to be refrigerated. In addition, they offer local favorites like li-hing gummy bears and assorted flavored sembei, giving you plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from. The employee at the register was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily sharing information about the different mochi flavors and offerings. Most importantly, the mochi here is absolutely delicious. During this visit, we ordered a Girls' Day pack and tried the chocolate ganache Oreo flavor which was amazing. The mochi was perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the rich chocolate ganache filling. My friend loved it so much that she went back the very next day to order more! If you love mochi, you really need to stop by. I highly recommended this shop. read more

A friend called me to say she picked some mochi for me from Fujiya. It has been a very long time since I've enjoyed Fujiya products and I was very grateful for the treats. I received 2 strawberry and 2 tangerine mochi. I figured that I would eat 2 today and 2 tomorrow. Didn't happen. It was so good that ate all 4 in one evening. The tangerine was surprising. There is a whole tangerine in the mochi and it was sweet, juicy and sweet. Never had anything like this. The strawberry mochi was also a must buy. I liked that they didn't put too much an in it, so balanced with the sweet strawberry nicely. I must buy more soon and try other flavors. read more

Finally made it! They close early and I keep missing my window on Saturdays. The products offered, prices and sizes have changed a little since I was here last. Shop is so airy, uncluttered and clean. Very inviting. Today, I came for chocolate and coconut senbei, but only had coconut. I was told I could place and order and to call a couple days ahead to see of it was on rotation. They are featuring pumpkin flavor senbei and butter mochi for the Halloween / Thanksgiving holiday season. Possibly change to something else in December? I also picked up a three pack of azuki bean manju for my uncledaddy Taka and strawberry cheesecake mochi to share w mom. The parking lot was 3/4 full, but cleared out quickly. The ladies working the store are so friendly and helpful and I was offered a sample of the pumpkin senbei. Definitely will be back for more awesome senbei & mochi/manju goodies. One last thing...Fujiya senbei no longer sold in the hex shaped boxes in stores. You can only get it in bags from the shop. They also have really cute tote bags for $25. Makes a super nice gift w/a bag of mixed senbei & a tray of mochi r manju!! read more

08/05/25-update Fujiya Hawaii does it so well! Fresh fruit mochi! I had to try the strawberry and an filled mochi, the peanut butter, banana and an mochi and the mixed berry and an mochi! I also couldn't resist a two piece tray of the crunchy peanut butter mochi! Simply irresistible! Service here is always with a smile. Ambiance is always inviting and colorful here. 5/5 stars! read more

This little shop is tucked away in the neighborhood. We finally found time to check it out and I am SO glad we did. All the mochi is so fresh. I was able to try multiple flavors including peanut butter, white bean, red bean. They have some with fresh fruits inside and we dabbled in the grape and strawberry ones. I haven't had such fresh mochi in years because it's hard to find where I live. The staff was friendly. Free parking available out front. Quaint little place. We will definitely be back the next time we visit Honolulu. I'm already craving more! read more

Omg get the mochi. It is some of the softest mochi you'll ever eat. I stop by here the morning I fly home to stock up on mochi (red a white bean and the peanut butter!) and gifts for people back home! Chichi dango you also cannot go wrong. And the senbei tea cookies are their specialty - so glad they brought these back! Come on the earlier side because they will sell out of some of the mochi and manju! read more

Went here on a recommendation from a friend and was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed it! I actually like the ChiChi Dango ones more than the filling version! The fillings I felt took away from the mochi. We bought the new years box with red bean and peanut butter- I felt like that was just okay. It was difficult to figure out if I wanted it or not since it was enclosed in a box and you couldn't see inside. The chichi dango are super soft and fluffy , tasted like heaven. Better eat it fast or have a cooler with you because it will get sticky and hard to eat. read more

I'm a little conflicted about writing this review because this is such a low key spot I don't want it to blow up and get overrun with tourists.. but I also want to give credit where credit is due so here goes ~ this was the best mochi I've ever had! And I've had plenty. Soooo soft and chewy. Melts in your mouth like actual magic. I'd definitely get the strawberry. The crunchy pb was good too but very rich the way that pb is and I prefer a simple red bean filling anyway. I didn't get to try the berry one but am sure that's amazing as well. Very unassuming spot with a lil parking lot. read more

The best chi chi dango in Honolulu! Found Fujiya after searching mochi. As a tourist, I was only looking to travel to spots I could reach by bus or HOLO. And luckily for me, Fujiya was only a ~20min bus ride from my hotel. I had read that hella people line up at 9am when they open, and even on a Friday they had a line waiting around 845am. Some were locals, but there were some of us crazies who were tourists waiting to get our hands on some delicious, buttery, mochi or chi chi dango before flying out or starting our day. There are SO MANY flavors and choices that you might not see online, like mango, melon, strawberry, lychee, the list goes on. I was definitely overwhelmed. I also had to get some items for my friends who couldn't make the trip out in time, so in all we got the butter mochi, strawberry daifuku, regular chi chi dango, lychee, and peanut butter (crunchy) mochi. Y'all THE WAY I CRIED biting into the peanut butter mochi. I literally have never had mochi so friggin soft like a buttery cloud. I cried. They butter mochi was insane. Much better and more pillow-like QQ consistency compared to Leonard's which I think is too thick and overrated. Support local and small biz. Will def be back to Fujiya every time I return to Honolulu. Mahalo! read more

There was one treat I was determined to get in Waikiki... mochi! From the outside, the storefront is very unassuming, but the inside is filled with various packaged snacks, the most adorable stickers, and of course, mochi and chi chi dango. Fujiya has been around since 1953 and they also won a James Beard award in 2023 naming them an "outstanding bakery". We visited in the morning and the staff was actively working the back making and packing the mochi, bringing boxes out to the front counter as they were assembled. One employee greeted us and graciously introduced us to their selection of offerings. She raved about the peanut butter mochi, so we got some of those in addition to their red bean ones and a small box of their chi chi dango. The mochi had the perfect chew and elastic texture that I craved. The peanut butter one was filled with crunchy peanut butter and lightly coated in a peanut powder. I enjoyed the salty sweet combination and the crunch from the nuts. I loved the red bean mochi even more since the filling was so smooth and just the perfect sweetness. I don't recall ever having an authentic chi chi dango and I absolutely loved it. Made with coconut milk, it had a richer flavor and was SO soft. It's a perfect dessert and I regret not purchasing another box. We were advised to store our goods in the fridge if not eating them right away. Even when chilled, the mochi retained its soft texture and I actually preferred it slightly cold rather than at room temperature. Our treats really didn't last that long, though! They were all delicious and we devoured them within a day. read more

Delectable Japanese confectionery. Lychee mochi bites were interesting. I liked it! Different. Manju gift pack has some great varieties of 'ono flavors. Too bad I had to share!

Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Portion to Price: 3/5 Overall: All the Mochi we got was tasty The extended review... Food: 4/5 - We got a few different flavors and loved them all. The hard part is eating it all! Service: 4/5 - Friendly attentive service. Ambiance: 4/5 - The cool part is you can see into the kitchen so if they are making it you can see them in action. Portion to Price: 3/5 - Pricing is a little expensive but it's one of the few places in the area to get mochi. read more

Favorite mochi of all time! We loved the fresh strawberry with red bean filling & mango + coconut chichi dango. Soft, chewy, pillowy -- still dreaming of this fresh mochi. Came by once during the week (no line) and once during the weekend (line started 5-10 mins before opening). read more

Even though I'm the only mochi fan in the family, this was a must stop! There is a private parking lot here which makes it super easy to grab and go. The left side has a lot of cute merchandise and snacks, great for souvenirs! The mochi options itself are overwhelming - so many great choices! The chichi dango was very soft and I liked the melona flavor a lot. But the pumpkin butter mochi was the winner for me! Loved the texture on the outside and soft chewy center, plus they nailed the flavor. The staff were so nice, and even gave little samples to our kids! read more

Went at 9 am Saturday before girls day & a dozen folks were already in line before they opened. The line moved nicely and I picked up $100 worth of various manju to give away to my besties. Gravitated to the manju vs the mochi since the gal said mochi would last 1 to 2 days. However, I couldn't resist the choc with Oreo mochi on the counter. It was the absolute best mochi I've tasted!!! So savory & melt in your mouth with the crisp cookie as a surprise!!! Wish I picked up more!!!! A little bit more than nisshodo but a guilty pleasure no doubt!!! read more

Come here early since it does get super busy. Stopped by to pick up some musubis for some breakfast snacks. The musubis had a good topping to rice ratio. Out of all the ones we ordered, I really enjoyed the inari cucumber spam musubi. The sweet inari compliments the salty spam and the cucumber gave a nice texture to the whole musubi. Everything was really good and made to order. Only complaint was the batch of rice might have been slightly overcooked. Will definitely be coming back to try some different flavors. read more

This review is just for the strawberry mochi as that is the only thing we get but it is fantastic! The strawberry is sweet and the mochi is so soft with the perfect chew. They had some very cute stickers for sale as well! Highly recommend this spot! read more

The mochi here is delicious! I got the strawberry, haupia, and mango chichi dangos, and the bean-filled mochi with strawberries on top. My favorites were the mango chichi dango and the strawberry-topped, bean-filled mochi. The mochi here is soft and freshly made. The customer service was great. They have samples available if you want to try before buying. There's some benches outside the store you can sit at and eat. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. read more

We visit every time we're in Waikiki to get our mochi fix. We had the strawberry matcha and the orange chocolate mochi. The strawberry matcha mochi ($11.90 for 2) was good and the strawberry sweet. I was excited to try the orange chocolate mochi ($9.90 for 2) as I've had orange mochi in Japan. This one was so disappointing. They placed a whole tangerine in the middle, skin and all. The tangerine was hard, not sweet and the skin was chewy and not pleasant. With the prices they charge I'll have to think twice about returning. Nisshodo Candy which we frequent for mochi sells for $1.25 each and they were fresh and very soft with unique fillings: lychee, melon and lillikoi. read more

I saw some Hawaii Yelp friends (Irene, Nadine, & Craig T) reviewed and recommended this place. So, we had to check them out. The store was kinda hard to see as the only signage was on the windows of the store. It does share the same parking lot as Minato Japanese Restaurant. The store is new, clean, and proper. Shelves full of yummy snacks, t-shirts, and display case with refrigerated mochi, and then a table with their colorful mochi and manju. My wife liked their Lychee Bites (4/5). Lychee surrounded with soft mochi. Peanut Butter, Red Bean, w/Banana Mochi (4/5). Flavorful and creamy. Yuzu Honey/Lemon Manju (3.5/5). Flakey pastry filled with yuzu honey/lemon. I am glad we tried this place. I'll add to to my list of favorites! Support local. read more

The best butter mochi I've ever had!!!! We came here twice and tried: 1) butter mochi - SO SO GOOD, chewy, not too sweet, and the edge pieces are the best 2) tsunami mochi: ok- not a huge fan of the white bean 3) peanut butter mochi: ok, not a huge fan of peanut butter in desserts, personally 4) haupia mochi: this is the refrigerated one, the coconut was more subtle than in your face but still so good! 5) strawberry guava butter mochi - not a huge fan of this one! The haupia and OG butter mochi were our favourites! So good and I love how you're able to see them make it in store. read more

Got a gift from here last year and been meaning to come here because the fried nori was very addicting! Parking was a breeze right in front of the store. As you walk in, you're greeted by a clean & fresh environment filled with treats along the walls. Everything looked delicious especially the manju and mochi, then of course I had to grab some fried seaweed. Too bad they don't make bigger baggies of that. The counter line was a little long, but it by really quick. The cashier was so friendly and sweet. It is a bit $$ but totally worth it. Goodies are FRESH and taste amazing! FYI not open Thanksgiving except for pre orders, so get your order in asap! read more

The mochi is delicious and so is the butter mochi. My favorite was probably the guava butter mochi, but the pumpkin spice mochi was a close second. I tried their strawberry mochi, red bean mochi, white bean mochi, and peanut butter mochi as well - all were great. The mochi is just so soft - the texture really is perfection. The ratio of mochi to filling is also just right. The butter mochi texture was also just the right amount of chew with softness and butteriness. The space is very clean and well-laid out. The service was very nice and allowed us to sample some things before buying as well. There is a parking lot, making it easy to park. Highly recommended! read more

Wanted to get some mochi for my daughter on Girl's day. Was able to get some white bean mochi, red bean mochi, and peanut butter mochi. Service was fast and the worker helping was so nice and welcoming. Their handmade mochi was so soft! Even after putting it in the fridge for a day, it was still so soft. Never tried the a white bean mochi but was pleasantly surprised. Loved the red bean and peanut butter. Still can't get over how soft the mochi was! Will definitely be back to try some more flavors! read more

This cute little shop is located off of King Street in the McCully area. One of the things I first noticed upon entering was how clean the place was and very organized. They have packaged items like senbei, Okoshi, and flavored gummy bears, along with with the different mochi's and Manju. I usually end up buying at the very least the peanut butter mochi, oh so good. Service is usually quick even when they have special offerings like on girls day. Will be going back for sure. read more

All you need to know: AWESOME! Because of a local's recommendation, I came here expecting really good mochi, but was surprised with Wow! This mochi is the best I've ever had. The one defining factor is the mochi covered strawberry. Being from CA, I know what a good strawberry should be and the mochi and bean paste covered strawberry was delicious through and through: ripe, juicy, sweet strawberry, smooth bean paste, and the softest mochi. In addition to the mochi, we tried mixed fruit mochi, li-hing mui mini gummy bears, chi chi dango and Beika Mochi crackers. We enjoyed it all. read more

I finally got to try this place last week and I was so excited! I bought pumpkin crunch mochi, peanut butter mochi, strawberry and honeydew chichi dango, yuzu honey manju and pumpkin senbei. All were delicious but my absolute fave was the manju. Manju has a tendency to be dry but theirs isn't, it was absolutely delicious. Service here was top notch too. Two ladies helping in the front, very friendly and gave lots of good recommendations. Store is very clean and pretty with decor. They are quite busy and their parking lot is small so be patient when checking this place out. It was totally worth it. Look at the menu I took a pic of for their thanksgiving menu! read more

Quite over priced with a sparse selection. On our recent visit, all they had were chichidango, red and white bean mochi, and white bean manju. Service was meh..

Yesterday in a panic I called to see if they have New Year's Eve platters. The kind lady said yes, they do and even if you weren't able to pre order you can walk in and they have a few left! This morning (Monday usually closed) they opened at 9 am and they had a few platters ready for walk ins. They also had chichidango and other mochi available for walk ins. Luckily I didn't wait long and I got there early enough so I was happy that the selection was still available. The staff was ready and very positive and they even gave me a pen! How nice and sweet. I also learned that you have to refrigerate the mochi so it doesn't go bad and it doesn't get hard!! Amazing and awesome. Remember to Saran Wrap the container though prior to putting it in the fridge so the cold air doesn't penetrate the containers. The place is small, clean, and efficiently set up for us to happily buy and leave. This year I am saved by this mochi store!! Yay read more

The mochi is absolutely amazing, the texture is perfect. I loved every mochi product and definite favorites are the mango sticky rice chichi dango, guava mochi butter, and the white bean mochi. My husband really liked the peanut butter. The manju is alright but was a bit more bland and dry in comparison. Service was very nice and it's a cute shop. Highly recommend trying their mochi! read more

One of my friends eats gluten free so I wanted to pick up something tasty that she could enjoy for the holidays. My first thought was chichi dango from Fujiya. Knowing that the shop can get busy, I called ahead and prepaid for my order. It was my first time visiting Fujiya's since they moved from Kalihi. The new shop is in town on Hauʻoli Street. I love the updated look and the space to browse other snacks like senbei, iso peanuts, arare, and lemon peel li hing gummy bears. Not to mention, there are lots of pretty packaged trays of manju and showcases of assorted mochi. It's a foodie shopper's paradise and I'm sure you could easily spend an hour choosing gifts for yourself and others. My friends loved the chichi dango; one claiming they finished the entire container the same day! It's nice this business which started in 1953 is still locally run today and remains a local favorite. Fujiya is open Tuesday through Saturday; 9am to 3pm. read more

Great service, awesome mochi. We tried the recommended strawberry mochi and people in my party who said "I'll only take a bite" ended up eating more. I also bought the mixed berry mochi, yuzu honey manju, and chi chi dango. The texture of the mochi here is incredibly soft and pillowy. I loved the filling in the mixed berry which has real fruit. Manju was everyone's least favorite, but I found the yuzu and honey flavor to be well balanced and light. Definitely recommend a stop here if you're in Honolulu!! read more

Come here and you'll find yourself addicted to such soft and delicious mochi! The lady at the counter was so nice and patient while we were trying to make up our minds after seeing so many options. After telling her we were bringing the mochi back home, she even offered to wrap the boxes and give us an ice pack so the mochi would stay fresh. You can never go wrong with the original chichi dango, but they also have other flavors such mango, lychee, strawberry, and melon chichi dango. I think these flavors might be revolving since last time I came here they had a banana flavor. The mochi with the lychee stuffed inside also tastes amazing! It's definitely my favorite but they only seem to make limited quantities of it each day. To make sure you're able to get the quantity you want, you can order in advance online. Besides mochi, you can also buy tropical flavored senbei, manju, lihing gummy bears, and a variety of other snacks. Overall, if you love mochi and yummy snacks, make sure to stop by and you will not regret it! read more
