I LOVE popcorn. I've always passed by and resisted the urge to buy a bag since I thought I could…read morejust make it at home. Eventually, I gave in and now it's my favorite treat! They're a small kiosk inside Pearlridge, right next to TJ Maxx. There's usually a few minute wait since the popcorn is made fresh to order and there's only one employee, but it's definitely worth the wait! So far I've only tried the volcano, which is a hurricane mix with kakimochi and furikake. The popcorn is always crisp and evenly buttered with the perfect kakimochi ratio. They have 3 size options - you'll want to get the large because they're so good you could finish half the bag in one sitting. I had a friend try some of my popcorn a few days later and was surprised with how fresh it still tasted! In his words he said it was "to die for" lol.

I always grab a bag of this popcorn when I go to the mall. I've even stopped by before heading to…read morethe airport to get a bag to snack on the plane. The popcorn is made fresh constantly, as orders are nonstop. Most times there's a line, but I happily wait for my turn. My favorites are the kimchi and mexican. Although I've had all of them, I like to get the ones I can't make myself. And if the pre-made flavors dont have mochi crunch, you can add for a fee. I think the puffy mochi crunch is a secret menu item. I heard a guy asking for it so I tried it, good but I like the regular one. I did ask the guy when they'd be opening one in Waikiki, he said soon...not sure how soon, but I'll be happy to get some when we stay there.

Service was quick and easy, making it the perfect grab-and-go spot. The soft serve is my favorite, and it definitely did not disappoint. I got the swirl with vanilla and strawberry. It was just as good as I remember it. Creamy, smooth, and just the right amount of sweetness. The small size was still pretty generous. There are lots of local snacks and goodies available for purchase. I haven't tried it yet but the customizable popcorn is such a fun touch too. Overall, such a great spot with kind staff and delicious treats!

It was my first time visiting and I'm thankful I did as I was able to select from a variety of popcorn flavors and combinations. I love how unique and Asian-influenced these combinations are, which made my visit here so eye opening! I'm typically a classic kettle corn type of girl, so I purchased a medium size kettle and I also got the Japanese matcha combo! This one has matcha powder, butter, furikake, and kaki mochi. I can't wait to go back to try the Volcano flavor! I want to highlight the associate, Redie (or Ready, I need to ask for her name spelling again!). She was so incredible patient, generous, and kind. This is a family owned and operated business and I am happy to support this brand. It's also delicious!

They have the biggest popcorn kernels! So much better than movie theatre popcorn. If I was gutsy, I…read morewould sneak this into the movie theatre. I usually get the basic popcorn with butter. 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. This store is unfortunately located on Dillingham Boulevard at Kapalama Plaza. If you didn't know, Dillingham Boulevard is an absolute construction zone with no left turns allowed. But if you take the back roads, you can get into the shopping center pretty much ok. There's usually one person working. They are always friendly. The store itself is simple. You walk in and see the popcorn machine. ON one wall is different types of Chinese crack seeds and dried fruits like mango. On a small wall are nuts and cotton candy. Above that are two monitors with flavors for bubble tea drinks. But again, I only get popcorn. So this review is just for popcorn. I like this location but not the construction in front of the shopping plaza.

WASH WASH WASH-POPPIN?!…read more People think this popcorn store is in Kalihi... But it's really in a place called POUND TOWN. Cuz you could pound through a bag of this popcorn no problem. 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!

Brandon will contact you, asking to fill out the form with additional information and Venmo the total cost to him. After you tell him the date you want to pick up popcorn and he receives the paid amount, Brandon will let you know where and what time to meet him. On date of pick up, Brandon texted me to say he'd be there at the exact time, which was really considerate so we didn't have to wonder or worry. Sure enough he pulled up in the vehicle he described and quickly distributed his orders with a smile and mahalo! He had each order bagged separately with our names. This popcorn is delicious with a salty sweet flavor and comes in all sizes with other flavors. Check out their website! We bought the large one to give out as favors (one per ohana) at my granddaughter's birthday party and everyone was stoked because they could enjoy while watching UH football that evening. Mahalo Brandon for being so easy to work with and we look forward to doing business with you again soon.

Duane is the ONLY person I purchase and refer others to for kettle popcorn…read more I've ordered from her on a couple occasions. The first for my best friend's baby shower and the second for my cousin's. I ordered pink colored sweet and salty kettle popcorn from Duane and he was extremely helpful. I was unsure as to how much or order and he answered all and any questions I had. What's better is he delivers and conducts meet-ups. If you're in the market for some tasty, and I mean very tasty popcorn, Duane at Popcorn Express is your guy! I've had the competitors but NO ONE comes close to Popcorn Express. Mahalo Duane!

After constant messaging, she finally decided she was going to give back my money at the end of May. It's June, and I still haven't gotten our money back. I had the benefit of a doubt that her wallet and phone were actually stolen but recently saw other people comment on their instragram using the same excuse and not giving back their money!

After satisfying my smoothing cravings at Hang's French Cafe & Smoothies which is right next door you know I had to give them a visit and as I walked in I just didn't expect to see so many options to neatly displayed at this cool shop.
