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.

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.

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.

The 3D gummies are my favorite pick; they've got that ideal chewy-but-soft texture that hits just right. The hurricane popcorn is solid too! The butter flavor and furikake combo are tasty, though I wish the mochi crunch had a bit more crunch. Also, the kernels they use here a pretty small. Still, it's a snack-worthy spot when you're craving those classic local flavors. I still prefer the popcorn at Iniki more because of the size, kernels and flavor.

The rainbow popcorn is already pre-bagged and comes in 3 sizes - small, medium, and large. I opted for medium for $5.69. I thought the price was fair and reasonable. Had some when I got home and it was just as how I remembered - ono! It was a little more on the sweet side than I had expected, but good. They also sell popcorn lei and cotton candy as well as different flavors to add to your popcorn. There's something for everyone.

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.
