    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.

    Our last night in Oahu and my son who loves Poke wanted to try Sato Seafood on Kuhio which was less…read morethan a 5 minute walk from where we were staying. We had hit the Maguro Brothers in Chinatown and the one in Waikiki along with Ono Seafood a couple of times. Sato is located next to Marugame, both restaurants are popular and busy so lots of people standing around. My son ordered the Hawaiian Munchies which is the Ahi Poke with the crunchies, garlic and soy sauces. He was the only one who was hungry but I took a bite to give it a try. The fish was soft and pretty fresh. A little different spin than the other Poke shops we like but it was pretty good. If you are in the Waikiki area and looking for take-out and something quick that tastes pretty good, drop in at Sato Seafood. As people mentioned, the area is really busy and just a couple of tables outside so best to order it to go. A little bit of a wait but not really too long.

    Dinner in Kaneohe, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Browsing along the vendors at the Ko'olau Night Market (one Friday per month at the Windward Mall parking lot from 5pm to 9pm), sponsored by IslandCraftFairs.org), I saw: Sato Seafood Looking st the photo menu, Otoro Uni Handroll and Deluxe Kaisen Don looked good to me, so I got them! I ate the Otoro Uni Handroll right away... in the open-air... mmm! So fresh and delicious! At home, I enjoyed the Deluxe Kaisen Don. My favorites were the firm, sweet scallops and the briny ikura! The next morning, I saw Sato Seafood at the Kaka'ako Farmer's Market... wow... these gals work hard! They're so diligent, polite, and efficient!

    Giovedi delivered an exceptional dinner for our group, seamlessly blending interesting flavours…read morewith flawless execution. We started with pillowy soft HOKKAIDO MILK ROLLS alongside the refreshing SCALLOP CARPACCIO. The pasta courses each stood out on its own right. DAN MIEN VIETNAM-ATRICIANA, deep and rich savoury sauce on egg noodles was so comforting and delicious we ordered a second one. CAPELLINI GRANCHIO was another crowd favourite. The thin capellini were perfect strands for this dish. It could use more crabmeat though. GNOCCHI MABOLOGNESE, this was a clever fusion of mapo tofu with gnocchi mimicking tofu in a hot sauce. I'm not a fan of gnocchi much more tender gnocchi in this dish. Two Donburi dishes - Veal and Mushroom - stood out with the addition of pop rice. Grated truffle was very generous. We ended with both desserts on the menu. Every single dish hit the mark, and sharing everything family-style across six people was the perfect way to experience the menu. Fantastic cooking, great atmosphere, and an absolute must-visit.

    Three Visits and Still Impressed…read more I've been to Giovedi three times now and have been impressed every time. The small plates are meant to be shared, which is perfect because it means you get to try more bites. Their cuisine is creative, with interesting flavors and combinations that make the meal fun to explore. I loved their Crystal Tiger cocktail. Lychee goodness. The foie gras spread with toasted bread was divine, but my favorite bite was the scallop carpaccio. Fresh, delicate, and delicious. And all their pastas are fire. Seriously. Service has always been great. The tables are close together and it can get a little noisy, but honestly, that is part of the ambiance and vibe. Three visits in, and Giovedi continues to impress.

    Pop up with poppin' flavors!…read more Yelp BFF and I have been eyeing out Mama Guava and after the end of the hectic holidays, we finally got a chance to visit. Things we ordered: lumpia look fun, veal pancit/pad see ew, and curry fish with roti My favs: lumpia look fun and curry fish with roti The lumpia was crispy and the look fun was nice and thin. Topped with green onions, a soy, vinegar and chili sauce. My only wish is they used a Thai sweet chili sauce instead. The veal pancit/pad see ew was saucy, but a little too salty for my taste. The curry fish with roti was perfect. Fish was flakey, curry was packed with flavor, and paired well with the crispy roti. Definitely worth a visit! Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

    Bold Bites and Soulful Flavor at Mama Guava…read more I first tried Mama Guava's food at a pop-up at SALT at Our Kaka'ako, and it was delicious. So I had to check out their pop-up restaurant in the former Pig and the Lady space in downtown. Lumpia Look Fun: A fun fusion of two of my favorite things to eat. Oxtail & Pechay Soup: Hearty and healing, this soup had real soul. Fried Chicken: Crispy salt and vinegar fried chicken was a hit. The batter and crunch were excellent. Tortang Talong: Charred eggplant and garlic rice. I became addicted to that garlic rice. Kang Kong (Ong Choy): My favorite bite, served in a savory garlic sauce. The staff was friendly and attentive, and we really enjoyed our time there. Mama Guava brings bold flavor, thoughtful fusion, and warmth in every dish. This is the kind of pop-up you hope sticks around for good.
