    Found this place when I looked up a fellow yelper that complimented on one of my pictures and was in the area to check this place out after seeing a few great reviews. A family run small business that sets up outside of auto detailing on the right side heading west bound on Kam highway, right after the fast food restaurants (popeyes, taco bell, etc) but right before genki sushi/zippy's. You can miss it because it's not a store and they are selling it in the lot with a big banner out in front to the left of auto detailing. I have often driven past this place but never really noticed it because of it's location and they sell out and close up fast, and they don't sell at any farmer's market either. Today they had Taro and fruity pebbles flavor so I ordered a box of 15 for $20 of half flavor of each. The mochisada is addicting, fried and sugared like a malasada, but the consistency of fried mochi, a unique blend to snack on. A fluffy, yet chewy sugary snack, I could eat the whole box, and I bet icecream would go great with it, but with all that sugar, it would put me in a coma. They have a loyalty card buy 7 boxes and get one free. I was lucky they were open and still had some left to be able to buy/try some because I found that Hauoli is on instagram and mostly takes pre orders, and only sells certain flavors on certain dates and time. They can be contacted through Instagram or by phone if you'd like them to serve it at a party. Open parking since they are on a lot by themselves.

    Super fun to make, easy to share, and no leftovers!

    I did a custom order of original poi mochisadas to make a birthday cake with chantilly frosting and it was a huge hit! Everyone enjoyed the challenge of making balls into a cake. Even better was the fact that there were no leftovers, cuz usually when I buy a cake, I end up taking home leftover sheet cake and nobody eats it. This is the original mochisada, not to be confused with the one they sell at Zippys. NOT.THE.SAME.THING. Follow their IG to get locations, there is no storefront so you have to hunt them down or place a custom order for your workplace or next event!

    Got my goods from the Hearts n Craft gift fair 2day at Ka Makana Alii mall. They had the original Taro mochisala buggah was ono, it's a cross between a mochi and a malasada. I should have asked not to coat it with sugar but I was too excited I finally was getting my hands on these carb goodies, havnt had them in a few yrs at another event in town. Follow him on FB or IG for event info. Thanks for coming closer to the West Side so I could finally get my fix. N yes I drove out from waianae to the mall just for these babies lol.

    Mochisadas! OG Taro! The best treat yourself food!

    This is the most delicious Mochisadas ever! It's crispy on the outside like a Malasada but the dough on the inside is like eating a mochi. Don't go for the copycats at other places like Foodland and Zippys. This is original homemade Mochisadas and a local family run business. Sometimes they are at Farmer's Markets and are able cater to special events like a Wedding or Graduation party. They have flavors from the OG taro, oreo, fruit pebbles and other seasonal flavors. With chantilly cream or chocolate sauce to dip it in. Sometimes there's Boba Cookies and Chantilly Brownies too. He also sells Boba Cookies at Sweet Treats by Kris in Pearlridge Shopping Center. I've only had the OG Taro, it was so delicious! You can really taste the taro and the crispness in the Mochisadas. It's my favorite place to get and eat Mochisadas! They cost 15 pieces for 20 dollars or you can buy them individually. They also can do fundraising with sales from their products. They're a great family business! Support local! It's also a good way to carb up before a race, hiking, swimming, biking or triathlon training. They occasionally announce deals on their social media page. I highly recommend trying this place out! It's delicious and so tempting to keep eating the whole box of 15 Mochisadas! Thank you for all the hard work you all do in making the delicious pastries!

    Imagine a delicious, fluffy malasada had a baby with a chewy, sweet piece of mochi. Thats what you get with Hauoli Pastry's mochisada. I found John on Instagram almost 3 years ago on one of my suggested pages. I decided to check him out when he was at a local craft fair in Kaimuki. Once I had his taro mochisada - I was in heaven! On certain occasions, he also makes other flavors such as haupia, Oreo, and fruity pebbles. The chantilly and chocolate sauce are a MUST! I loved these mochisadas so much I convinced John to cater these on site as my dessert at my wedding 2 years ago! These were such a hit with all of my family and friends, and we are so blessed to have shared these with all of our out of town guests. Walk, don't run, to find out where hauoli pastry will be next to snag yourself some delicious mochisadas! Ps: don't forget to try his other baked goods such as the chantilly Mac nut brownies, dark truffle tartlets, and the Thai tea boba cookies!

    First time trying this out. It's a cross between a mochi and malasada. Tried their original and Oreo. Can't go wrong. Great snack if you're in the pearl city area on the weekend.

    Took this photo before eating, After I ate it I realize what all these black parts were, it was burnt!!!

    I would have liked to give this place 5 stars or at least 2 or 3 stars, but when I bought some Mochisada at Kapunahala Elementary's Keiki Swap Meet & Food Truck Event today the outside of the Mochisada was burnt and it seems as if the owner tries to hide the burnt areas with sugar. So, when you bite into the Mochisada all you get is a burnt taste in your mouth covered with sugar. I thought maybe I could pull off the outside and just eat the inside, wrong, the inside was dry and not moist like I thought it would be. I eventually ended up throwing away everything I bought because it tasted nasty. If you all ever want to eat a good Mochisada you better off going to Zippy's. See my photo of all the burnt parts on the Mochisadas. So disappointing and such a waste of money.

    Awesome take on taro mochi & Malasada, Mochisada. Never knew about this place till rolled up on this place by chance. Located at the same spot as detail garage near the old Genki sushi in Pearl city. Flavors today were OG taro & churro. Dipping sauce of chantilly was a GREAT bonus. Brought it home to the Ohana & they were pleasantly surprised. My wife is now considering to go to them for my sons upcoming bday party. Not sure where they are usually located, but owner said every Saturday they are at this location.

    Order ahead, they do run out.

    First time trying the original mochisadas, will not be the last time. Amazingly flavorful, soft, sugary, just ono!!! You won't regret having one, or 5! So good!! This is a family owned business. Love supporting that as well.

    We tasted these at a family dinner. Mochi-sadas are ping pong size flavor bombs. We are going to ferret them out for more.

    I read a yelp review earlier today talking about the deli manager talking loudly to her workers . I…read moredid hear the deli manager talking loudly to her employees but not once did I hear her calling her employees names. She is always respectful and nice to me and my family every time we go there. I know the customer on here was maybe upset with the loudness of the deli manager but she is always nice never have I ever heard her lose it at work like how that person explained. I hope everyone reads this comment.I am only responding to this because that review about Jamie is not true. Maybe this person she just go to another Safeway if she feels like it keeps happening to her.

But I wanted to shine some light on something that I witnessed today while standing in line waiting for my chicken . I was standing behind a Karen who was mouthing off to the deli manger being rude and obnoxious, budding in trying to tell the deli manger how to run her deli when clearly she was doing her best with the little helped she had. She even went as far as cutting the deli manger off when she was trying to correct her own employee just to make sure the customers was being told the right information. There was no time at all did I ever hear this poor manger call any of her employees out of their name or use any disrespectful slur.. It broke my heart because at the end of the day this poor manger was just doing her best to serve her customers and keep everyone happy even the rude ,angry and impatient ones . . I feel Safeway higher up needs a better protocol for things like this because this is unacceptable their employees let alone a manger shouldn't have to put up with rude and disrespectful customer and still try to serve them. After getting my chicken i got the manger name but wasn't able to speak with her personally because she was super busy . I just wanted to say JAMIE you did amazing girl holding yourself together and professional even when you had a line of rudeass Karen's in front of you . I also called Safeway to let them know how wonderful you were and how they are lucky to have you.
