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!

ATMOSPHERE: Sam dropped my order off to me when I wanted it. Nothing funky/strange about these…read morepeople! They are down to earth... see SERVICE below. FOOD: They pop on site at public events and if you need to special order, you'll need to call them beforehand to try and put in an order as close to a popping day as possible. As indicated on their website, popcorn sales is based on availability. I first discovered them at a craft fair--I devoured the entire bag of li-hing-covered kettle corn. This is the BEST Kettle Corn I have tasted. They maintain a good balance of sweet and salty AND the best part is that they don't overcoat the popcorn in sugars. I try not to go for any chocolate/caramel covered ones... or those that are just drenched in candy coats. If you want a more balanced and delicious tasting kettle corn without the coats overdone, Kettle Corn Hawaii is THE place to go. Packaging is very clean and neat and you get enough bang for your buck: Large bag (4 quarts) is $6, small bag (1quart) is $3. I special ordered about 15 Small bags so that I could give them out as graduation treats for UH Manoa graduates. I was worried the small bag wouldn't look plentiful enough but holy moly it can feed two hungry people. (My mom and I finished one small bag while walking back to our car from the graduation.) Small bag for $3 is a deal, people. You can also request the colors that you want to color your popcorn with. All of the flavors are the standard sugar coat flavor--no fruity/food flavors. I love that... the fruit/food flavored colors turn me off. Thank God all the colors taste the same. :) SERVICE: EXCELLENT. Gave Sam tip too for driving my order to my workplace. We both had busy schedules and he maintained excellent communication the whole day. We kept in touch for the entire week of my order. He double checked my order and made sure that it would be prepared and delivered to me in the best and most convenient way possible. He offered cheaper options as well and if he could make it easier for my treat packaging. These guys are on it and I would love to give them business again for the next graduation season. Thank you, Sam! Service with a smile! It's what everyone business is lacking nowadays... your service made my week!

I tried the li hing flavor that they make now and it was DELICIOUS! So much so that I bought another bag to take home.

If y'all happen to be lucky enough to come across Kettle Corn Hawaii definitely check them out! Aloha

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!

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.

Also has yaki arare and furikake. I was suspicious when he brought the bag home because while it was inflated, the twist tie wasn't on very tight. Sure enough, popcorn was on the stale side, even though it was only 30 minutes since he picked it up. Not worth the price for stale popcorn. He was taking it somewhere and I told him I'd he had the time (unfortunately he didn't) go back and get a fresh bag. Of well. Not sure if I'll get any popcorn here in the future, unless they let me taste it first to be sure it's fresh. Also, best if you pour the popcorn into a bowl if it has added goodies, since they are mostly at the bottom, even the furikake was at the bottom. Or at least turn the bag upside down and shake.
