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.

Eating some right after getting it, popcorn is warm fresh with butter & mochi mixed all together so delicious! It's affordably priced & generous amount for the small bag. The freshness of the popcorn stays fresh for a few days. That I know of... The small bag only last a few days for me. Service is always attentive and quick. The kiosk is located at Pearlridge Shopping Center. Formally known as (Downtown) officially called Wai Makai. You can't miss the kiosk it's located in the middle of Champs and Mr. Cow. The blue lighted sign, bags of sweet popcorn and popcorn leis will definitely catch your attention. Support local, stop by today & get you a freshly popped popcorn today.

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!

Lance is very responsive, answered all of my (sometimes silly) questions, and expressed such gratitude for my order. It made me feel like he really valued my business. Now about the popcorn! The local style is SO good! The perfect combo of sweet kettle corn and the savory kakimochi and furikake. I also love that you can choose the colors you'd like the popcorn to be. We went with red and black to match my son's F1 birthday theme. I usually don't care for kettle corn because most I've had has been over coated and too sweet for my taste. But this one? I've already ate like 3 bags of the extras from the party. I also got multiple compliments from our guests on how good it was. It's actually so good, I plan on ordering more when we run out of our extras!

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.
