The POPular treat we all love! This was at the Honolulu Farmers Market at the Blaisdell every Wednesday night from 4pm-7pm on of my favorite market by Hi Farm Bureau Farmers Markets as the vibe here is just so chill and relaxing. Walking by you can smell the fresh popcorns being made right before you eyes from the "Plain Jane" which has no sugar to the "Rainbow" which is filled with five different flavors the choices here are just vibrant as their flavors, though I have passed them on several occasions because of the price of $9 or 3 for $25 is a bit much to be honest though they do have a senior (55+) discount of a $1 off each bag and Yelp check-in will also give you that dollar off deal as well which I did and give a dollar back in for tip as the lady was a delight describing various items but was still a bit taken back when she saw it and never thank me for it. I did get the Jalapeño Kick where it's infused with jalapeño butter and garlic as it did indeed have all the flavors but the size of the bag was a bit much and had no desire to finish that single flavor in that huge amount and literally was done just a quarter way...wished they did smaller bags in all the flavors. Thank you!

His response to post - YELLING at me and my HANDICAPPED MOM - he wrote a message to me that says "Grow UP" - I tell you - this guy is a jerk

Owner is NOT NICE and YELLED at me with my mom in a wheelchair. I would never support this business again and suggest you not as well. He is very picky and only wants you to move extra fast through his store and if you are handicapped he has ZERO PATIENCE. If you read his other reviews you can see how nasty his personality can be.

Mother's Day custom bags of Hawaiian goodness delivered right to my door in SoCal!

Ordered some Mother's Day treats from Ono for delivery to SoCal, and they were a huge hit. Large, attractively packaged bags of diversly flavored popcorn goodness arrived perfectly fresh and oh so tasty. There is an impressively wide variety of flavors available on their website order section. The ability to choose celebration stickers to adorn the bags was a nice bonus! I was stoked to be able to select custom colors (pink and purple magic!) for one of the bags, and got to add Macadamia nuts to one of the Caramel corn bags as well The kernels are huge mushroom shaped nuggets that have such a great chew and stay crisp for weeks when vacuum sealed. They have savory flavors too with hurricane ingredients like small bits of seaweed and rice crackers that jazz up this already crisp delight. Outstanding company, delectable product and excellent online ordering process.

Kettle Pop was good. However, the dude selling it was rude.

We were at the Kailua Thursday night market yesterday Sept 18. The guy making the popcorn needs to relax a bit. Being nice goes a long way. Arrogance and rudeness to your customer is not the Aloha way.

Located at various farmer's market around Oahu, I went to the one on Saturday's at KCC. Good kettle corn made with Hawaiian sea salt. They have lots of flavors available. Though on the pricey end for 3 bags. I liked the Sweet and Salty, good balance overall! Would be great for a movie night or gift to someone who loves popcorn. They do get stale fast when you open so make sure to eat them sooner!

OMGGGGGG the Jalapeño flavor is delicious and my favorite !! They have a variety of choices sweet and savory ... They are all good!! You can find them at local farmers Markets and events (ex:Lei day) on the Island. Whenever I see them I purchase at least 2-3 bags and share ( well it depends.. lol) with who I'm with. Can't wait to get my fix soon!!!

I visited them at KCC and I'm so happy I tried them out. They have a lot of Hawaiian flavors like li hing, POG, and more. I had the regular size of Ono Hurricane which has garlic, furikake and mochi bits in it. It was good and I would have loved to try out other flavors, but there was no way I was packing a bulking item with me.

Such a cute Easter treat!

Normally when you think of Chicago, you might imagine Navy Pier, deep dish pizza, or the Sears Tower*, but I can assure you that Chicagoans know a thing or two about making some delicious popcorn. When I saw Ono Kettle Pop in the Fort Street Mall's farmer's market, I was excited to see that it wasn't just kettle corn, but delicious caramel and cheese flavors, just like I remember eating with my dad when I was a little girl. Brandon offered me a sample. It had the perfect crunch and sweetness of a good kettle corn. I stayed to talk story with him for a while, learning more about his childhood in Chicago, how he started the business, and his military background. (I love being able to support our current and former military members!) He told me more about how he makes his batches and sells them at the local farmer's markets or through social media. He has quite the operation! Since I happened to visit his booth right before Easter, he had some adorable Easter popcorn baskets on display. I bought one for my roommates to enjoy (they were stoked!) and made sure to take a business card. I can't wait to visit again for more kettle corn or the Chicago-style flavors I remember from my youth. *the building will always be the Sears Tower. I don't care what silly thing they try to rename it.

Sweet & Salty Happy Halloween Ono Kettle Popcorn is 'onolicious!
Yvonne K.

Yummy sweet and salty popcorn - fresh made so delicious! Love the festive holiday colors! See you next SAT at KCC Farmer's Market! :-)

The owner making rainbow popcorn! So many pretty colors (:

Went to KCC market to get my popcorn fix and Brandon's popcorn is honestly the best! I get popcorn here pretty often and each time I go, I try to get a new flavor cause there's so many to choose from (: it's cute cause they have Halloween themed popcorn now and it's a great treat for my family/friends! Definitely going again before the end of the month. The owner is a pretty chill/funny guy to talk to and he's very accommodating each time I go. His business is poppin' (like my pun? lol) so he's pretty busy cooking in the back since he makes everything himself. Overall, he never fails to show aloha! Thanks again.

Best popcorn ever...

The popcorns was delicious! We got the kettle and it wasn't too sweet or salty and the mixture was just perfect.

Is there a pineapple flavor?

I don't recall seeing one, but I know that he does custom orders. I would try calling him: 808-829-5404

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.
