    As I mentioned before, I love this place! Judy and her daughter are really amazing and so sooo sweet. I texted the store phone a few days before I needed my popcorn to place my order and it was sooo simple, affordable, and hassle free. I did have to pay ahead of time, due to some people to order then no pick up, but paying in advance also gave me a piece of mind knowing that I secured my leis for the day. On the day of my pick up, the leis were ready and laid out with the exact colors I wanted. I was soooo excited to give the leis to our boys! Stop by Judy's shop for your popcorn lei needs, or just anything! :)

    Judy Shop nestled on the edge of Honolulu in the Dillingham Square Mall. Locally owned and operated. Specializing in Chinese preserved seeds and candy. This is one of the only places in town that makes Popcorn Lei's. They can make a wide assortment of colors, perfect for graduation parties! Charm Culture shares half of the shops space specializing in unique gifts and gift ideas for any occasion. The owners and their staff are always welcoming and friendly.

    The cracked seed offerings.

    What led me to this cracked seed shop was my Yelp buddies - Iris T., & da FAMOUS Auntie Nadine C. who had posted some great reviews, and pics of this snack & gift shop called - Judy Shop. I've been on a quest to look for Li Hing Baby Cherry Seed but it appears that most cracked seed stores no longer carry this item. I've been searching for sometime now, but have been unsuccessful (insert Sad Panda Face here). If you ever find the item I'm lookin' for, let a Bruddah know! Anyways, Judy Shop is another store that specializes in the - snacks & small gift trinket game. The cute little store is located at the City Square Shopping Center, just a few doors down from the Famous - Kamehameha Bakery. Upon walking into the store this afternoon, I was greeted by a friendly lady. The first thing I did when I talked to her was ask if they had a dry "Li Hing Cherry Baby Seed". Unfortunately they did not have what I was looking for, but I must say that the service here was ultra primo excellent as the lady who helped me was a professional customer service clerk. She was very friendly, & offered me plenty samples of the various types of cracked seeds they sell here. Upon tryin' a Bayberry Seed, & Rainbow Cherry Seed, I ended up with what I know (I guess I'm a creature of habit)........da Seedless Li Hing Cherry - A.U.T.O.M.A.T.I.C.! Lol! The Li Hing Cherry was good, but a wee bit pricier (about $5.50 more than what I would normally pay at my regular cracked seed joint I regularly go to). If you're not into cracked seed like Bruddah Fran, this snack shop does sell other types of snacks like - popcorn, candy, and other items I probably missed while visiting here. A neat shop, because you can also buy charms, & other small gifts. Judy Shop is kinda like a one stop gift & snack shop! Cool!

    I'm not sure what happened to my previous review. I know I gave the Judy Shop a high rating. Today, it's a different story. The lady behind the counter gave no greeting at all. Past the counter a few times while shopping, still no acknowledgment. My wife did buy something. It was a very different experience. Enjoy

    Check in and get a free drink!

    Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii... When I read Iris' review, I saw the word, "plushies" and had to investigate... Located at City Square, between Pancakes and Waffles and Kamehameha Bakery - and across from Young's Fish Market and Utage, free shared parking is much appreciated! The name of the store is a combination of two shops which were formerly at Ohana Hale Marketplace. I remember Charm Culture because I had bought a Brown and Cony (Line Friends) pillow there. The merchandise looked familiar, so, I asked - and yes! The popcorn/crack seed shop (Judy Shop) at Ohana Hale Marketplace was diagonal from Charm Culture! Of course, I had a thrill while browsing through all of the cute stuff. My first excitement came from seeing Sally (Brown's sister) in the window. (Too bad they didn't have any Cony items.) I wanted to get a Kuromi bag for my sister; My Melody for my neighbor; Hello Kitty for my cousin; etc. I ended up getting Cooky from BT21 and a pack of kawaii bunny red envelopes! Note: other merchandise includes hair accessories, costume jewelry, key chains, bracelets made from crystals, tote bags, and more! Remember that there is a check in perk from the Yelp app! I got a free drink from the refrigerator (I chose a bottled water). ...and - I got a stamp on the Loyalty Card for my purchase of $10 or more! Thank you! I will be back for that pickled mango and more of their famous colored popcorn and other crack seed!

    Recently Ordered 11 Popcorn leis for Senior Night from this cute little shop. She was so nice to work with and was able to accommodate my order at yhe last minute. She didn't charge me extra for custom color Popcorn and even gave me a free Lei since I ordered more than 10. The Lei was $7.50/each and they suggested using the kettle Popcorn instead of fresh so that the Popcorn will stay fresh approx 2 weeks. LOL well we ended up eating that free Lei She gave us the next day. The Popcorn was good and price was good and a little cheaper than other places I looked at. It's a cute little shop and I also splurged on some good crack seed from the shop. Would definitely purchase from her again thanks!

    Popped in this new to me shop when going to Thang's. They stock a bunch of plushies and knick knacks, but I was interested in finding the elusive baby seed that Fran C. has been searching for from back in the day. IYKYK! Haven't seen the OG type in forever! Any Yelpers out there know if baby seed is available? I ended up buying a bag of popcorn that the sweet worker recommended as it was just made earlier in the day. Boy was she right, the popcorn was crispy and delicious although I would have preferred a savory option. Not as sweet as it looked. It doesn't have a label so I don't know what flavor it is. Will be back when I have more time to browse the many crack seed options. There were many types of preserved seeds that I was not familiar with. Support this locally owned small business and stop by when you are in the area. Conveniently located across from Thang's with lots of free parking!

    Was it fate or the only parking available...!? Maybe but that cute image of a giant bucket of popcorn is certainly eye-catching and it got me! Maybe cause it was late afternoon and I had the munchies well if so I'd caution you before you enter Judy Shop cause this shop has two names (Judy Shop & Charm Culture) because it's just that and something you just need to experience. Located in City Square Shopping Center near Pancakes & Waffles this shop has everything you need to create a gift set or just to help with your cravings. I walked in and just didn't know where to begin munchies or blingies I tend to go right and it was blingies lol! Scanning...scanning with so much to see I noticed they had some AirPod case which I was so excited as I've been struggling finding one which I got, they also have plushies, keychains, totes, and a lot accessories! Charm Culture does have a stamp card with a stamp for every $10 which you can redeem for a discount or free gift once you fill all 10 spots. Since it was late and already had a snack I passed on the goodies for now but know where I can have my sweet and salty fix which I'm excited but as I was leaving I noticed a rack of face masks! Not only they were individually wrapped but came in so many cute prints! Get salty and go shopping here at Judy Shop & Charm Culture! Thank you!

    Nice and clean. I'm. It sure if the lady who was running the shop was the owner but she was very friendly. Freshly popped popcorn was nice and buttery. Highly recommend you try them out. I believe they are affiliated with the popcorn kiosk in the malls, at least that's what the man at the Pearl Ridge stall stated. So you know the quality is on point. Shop located next to the waffles and chicken place.

    I have been coming here religiously ever since my friend gifted me a bag of 'vitamin c' dinosaur gummies. I'm not sure if it actually has any vitamin c in it, but I really like the taste and texture (it reminds me of Japanese rice candy!). When I actually visited Judy Shop to buy more bags of these gummies, I ended up walking out with a bag full of assorted gummy candies (dinosaurs, octupus, bears), popcorn, and a couple of keychain charms. They have a stamp card (separate cards for the gift shop side and the snack side) program, and service is very friendly.

    Cute lil shop that sells cute phone accessories and jewelry accessories, etc. Also they sell fresh popcorn, popcorn leis, and crackseed. They used to be in the Ward Ohana Market place and they relocated here. Great spot to find knick knacks or cute gift for someone.

    Making my popcorn fresh every time I order.

DANGEROUS! So dangerous... maybe it is from Kalihi... Anway, I was told Popcorn here is inspired by Chicago Style popcorn. They use mushroom style popcorn. While the Butterfly variation is good, this popcorn has more meat to it. Everything is good. I haven't had one bag or cup where I didn't finish it. I haven't had one bag where my dad didn't ask for more. He's like a popcorn junkie. They are always coming out with unique flavors. I was particularly surprised by the Okinawan ube flavor they made for Okinawan Festival. You can also ask for plain popcorn Go visit them, you will see!

That's it. Occasionally I would get the Avalanche flavor popcorn. It's cheesy. But they sure do have a ton a flavors that I would try if I wasn't so basic.

Above that are two monitors with flavors for bubble tea drinks. But again, I only get popcorn. So this review is just for popcorn.

Another colleague and I jumped at the opportunity to tag along on a Friday early afternoon. Located down Umi Street not too far from neighboring New City Nissan on N King Street, Samurai moved to their current location in 1995 serving Maui style sherbet, popcorn and other local snacks. They also expanded to Samurai Snacks Aiea for an impressive 20+ years before closing its doors in May 2023. We arrived shortly after lunch time where we pondered at the menu wondering what to get. It's not fancy here at Samurai - - the storefront is basic and nothing fancy with a few seats patrons can sit on if they decide to eat their treats on premise. Morale has been low at the office so I decided to get some convenient prepackaged 4oz assorted Samurai cups to cheer up the staff. My colleagues also picked up some bags of buttered popcorn with mochi crunch and furikake for an informal office party to welcome the much needed weekend. Because we were already there, we also got some soft serve cups to cool down before heading back to the office. My colleagues had the classic strawberry and blue vanilla swirl and I selected the mango. My colleagues enjoyed their selection but the mango didn't live up to my expectations. The color was vibrant and enticing but sadly the mango flavor did not come through. Each cup came with a sugar roll cookie that was delicious. After our cold treat we headed back to the office with our surprise for our colleagues where it was a big hit. There were many happy faces standing in line grabbing some popcorn and a 4-oz cup of Samurai. Overall, a much better experience with Samurai that's deserving of an update with higher marks. It has been noted in my books to stick to flavors I'm already aware of and avoid trying new ones for that possible disappointment that often happens to me.
