Love Iniki Popcorn! Have been going for years. I tried all their speciality types of seasoned popcorn. Their popcorn kernels are big & fuller compared to microwave popcorn. The Volcano version with the mochi crunch & furikake seasoning is my favorite! They have different sizes and affordable pricing.Located on the First floor In the Windward Mall on the Ross side of the mall & near the stairs and elevator. Open most of mall hours! Go check them out. Delicious Goodies galore!!! read more

I love L1 Iniki Popcorn. I always buy from them when I'm at Pearlridge or when I'm in Dillingham. They're right next to Wing Stop. I usually get the Volcano (butter, furikake, mochi crunch) or Japanese Matcha (kettle corn with butter, furikake, matcha powder, mochi crunch). Those two are my faves. Today, I got the small Volcano $6.59. I'm happy that they always pop fresh popcorn when you order it. I definitely notice the difference. I'm not sure what kind of kernels they use, but the popcorn is always huge and fluffy. The lady who helped me today was very nice and friendly. read more

I love that the popcorn here is made to order. It's the best hurricane popcorn fix on the island! The portions are huge, and the flavor stays amazing even after a few days. I was shocked that it still tasted fresh and crunchy after five days. Totally worth it every time. read more

L1 Iniki Popcorn - large avalanche popcorn - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

I was sitting in the food court and saw someone walking around with a bag of the popcorn so of course I had to go hunt it down. We got the most popular one with just furikake and arare and it was so good. A little bit on the greasy side but that's also what makes it tasty. Of course couldn't finish the small bag in one sitting but it stayed fresh for a few days. I feel like normally fresh popcorn goes stale pretty much immediately if you don't eat it all in one sitting. Anyway, this did not disappoint. read more

One of my favorite shops in the mall. Sometimes come just for this. Love that they usually pop in small batches so they are constantly making more so everything tastes so fresh. They have so many different options to customize your popcorn but personally my favorite is the Volcano which is butter, furikake, and mochi crunch. Customer service wise its all good, the lady always does a great job answering questions and shes so fast that there is usually hardly any wait. read more

Popcorn Lei for my niece's Graduation... A lei made out of popcorn? Sounds odd, but I've seen them! They're kind of large and bulky, but are delicious and unique! I thought that a popcorn lei would be perfect for this special occasion! ...Because you only graduate from high school once in your life, right? Located on the lower level of Windward Mall, near the escalator of the Ross and the Regal Theater wing, L1 Iniki Popcorn has several locations. This happens to be a kiosk which has wonderful fragrances surrounding it! That buttered, savory scent catches my attention every time! Service was efficient and helpful. I was asked if I wanted a colored popcorn lei or a kaki mochi (arare) popcorn lei... And what color ribbon on the lei? Good questions! I got a colored popcorn lei with a pink ribbon for my niece and a kaki mochi lei with a red ribbon for my friend's daughter. The mochi crunch (arare) leis were already made. Yay! I got a chance to watch the colored popcorn lei being made! A funnel was used to fill the cellophane tube... Genius! I was really happy that this L1 Iniki Popcorn kiosk was open before 10am. I entered the air-conditioned Mall from Ross where I parked for free! Everything went smoothly! My niece and my friend's daughter were happily surprised when they received their popcorn lei! Thanks to L1 Iniki Popcorn for helping us celebrate this special occasion! Congratulations to the Class of 2023! Best wishes always! read more

As a popcorn consumer, I love their big, crunchy kernels! They always make it fresh and it's just a short wait time. When I told my friend who also loves popcorn to try it, she was impressed and drives from Halawa to get some. read more

Went to Windward mall and was surprised that the lines for L1 Iniki Popcorn was non stop people lined up and there was constantly customers stopping by to order popcorn or picking up cotton candy and candy corn. They have a great tasting product with just the amount of flavor or items to add to your requests from mochi crunch (arare) to furikake to flavored popcorn if you want to add the sweet with the salty they have a variety of choices. Their popcorn is large and fresh because it was non stop popping to keep up with all the orders. The 2 workers had a very busy day and also keeping the area clean and wearing their mask and keeping customers social distance. read more

Ordered Volcano popcorn and had to wait for it to be popped! Now since its being popped you think you are getting freshly made popcorn right?! Well to my total disappoint it was far from being fresh and was stale like they mixed old popcorn with new! Total waste of money! read more

L1 Iniki consistently makes the best hurricane popcorn that I've had. I always get the Volcano flavor which has arare & furikake. Unfortunately, today I was charged for a medium size and given a small size. I watched her put 2 scoops of popcorn in the bag, then take one scoop back out, before she started adding the flavorings. I told her it looked small but she insisted it was a medium size. It was not. I know because I always order a medium. I guess next time, if I go back, I should pointedly ask how many scoops of popcorn is a medium size. read more

My friend and I walked past the popcorn cart and the smell was sooo good we just had to get some popcorn!!! We've both been to this place before so we knew it was good! I got a medium Volcano which is butter, furikaki and Mochi crunch, a medium a fairly big and definitely enough for a few people. My friend got a large Iniki for her family which was sour cream and onion, butter and furikake. We both agreed that this is the best mall popcorn! They are always very busy so the popcorn is always popped fresh. Service was pretty quick. Popcorn has that nice round shape which makes it special. Try it and you won't be disappointed! They also had cotton candy and also make popcorn leis! read more

Today I was walking around Windward Mall and it was empty. Even though most schools was still off today because of waiver day . I came across this popcorn kiosk right next door to Fun Factory and in front of Ross's . First of all you can smell the freshly popped popcorn. I got there and I ask the person who was working there if they popped fresh batch if I ordered. I really don't the left over popcorn in the machine I rather have a fresh batch. He replied they always popped fresh popcorn per order. That's why I had to wait awhile until he added the kernels and until the machine gets hot and start popping. I thought that was 2 thumbs up because I been to other popcorn places and they use some of the leftover and fresh popped popcorn. To my surprise my popcorn was fresh and warm. I ordered their butter w/ Mochi crunch popcorn. Support local and "Happy New Years " read more

FOOD - Iniki Popcorn: butter, furikake, sour cream and onion. I liked all the ingredients but it did not go well together. I forced myself to have at least a handful and threw away the rest. It was so bland and greasy. I do not recommend. 1/5 - Cotton Candy: This was my kids' first time experiencing cotton candy. They loved their blue and pink cotton candy. Comes pre-made. I thought they were gonna get to see how it was made. 4/5 SERVICE: Fast as we were the only ones there. FINAL THOUGHTS: I won't be coming back. The popcorn, at least the Iniki, was not good. We were disappointed. read more

Oh my goodness, these guys gives such huge portions of popcorn for the price you pay for it. The popcorn and toppings are very tasty. The popcorn kernel size are huge, not like the small kernel size you get from the movie theaters. The service is very good. The staff are friendly and helpful. The staff gets your order met pretty quickly. The displays and ambiance are very helpful to figure out what item you would want to purchase too. If you have a craving for popcorn or cotton candy...this is the place for you. read more

We hardly get to Windward Mall but everytime we do we love getting popcorn from here. We got lucky when we went cuz there was no line :) I suggest getting a small bag too so you can eat it on your way home while saving the big bag for later Haha read more

I'm not sure what the original name of this kiosk used to be but they changed it to L1 Iniki Popcorn due to some name legality issue. But, no worries, it's still the same owner with the same popcorns. Popcorns: I think the popcorns here are pretty good. They make it fresh so it's not sitting long, you will most times get a fresh bag of popcorn even if you have to wait a little bit (that's the down side). Customer service: depending on when you you go, the weekends and holidays, this place need to be staffed with extra help. If not you will wait forever for your popcorn like I did today and I was ready to ask for my refund. Not to mention the sales staff is not very friendly either. read more

So Ono. The is little cart has all kine goodies. The popcorn is made fresh and right in front of you. We had like a five minute wait but it was worth it. Located in front of Ross on the on side of Windward Mall near the pet store. You can smell the popcorn literally from the center of the mall. They also have cotton candy and three different candies nuts. Almonds, pecans and c macadamia nuts. The prices are pretty decent for the amount you get. And it's still fresh and tasty the next day. It's a must try. read more

Located on the 1st floor by Ross in the Windward Mall right below the movie theaters, this is the only popcorn we get before the movies, they are the BEST! There popcorn is always made fresh, give yourself a few extra minutes. There popcorn is full and round, and I always get a small Volcano,butter, furikake and Mochi mix, so good! We order a small for $3.99 and it feeds 2 1/2 people for an entire movie. So much cheaper than the theater. Did I say how fresh it is?! He makes it when you order, so be patient. They also have $3 Cotton candy and warm nuts for $4.99. Nuts are pricey but worth it. You can always take it to go too, and they accept credit cards for $5+ orders. Definitely check them out. read more

You know that saying "once you pop, you can't stop"? that should be their motto. I feel that everytime I step foot in Windward Mall, I can NEVER walk away from buying a bag of Tsunami Popcorn from this kiosk. This is THE place to buy popcorn. It you go, do NOT get plain old buttered popcorn. As crazy as it sounds, you need to go big or go home. SO, order the Tsunami popcorn (popcorn with li hing powder, furikake, mochi crunch made with LOVE). I know it sounds wacky. BUT if you don't try that flavor, you are seriously missing out. What you need to know: They take cash AND card now! whoo hoo! They make their popcorn fresh each time. So you will get freshly made yumminess all the time. Get the Tsunami Popcorn. read more

4/11/21-Okaaaay....I seem to be here a lot! Can't help it! Look at all the flavors they have,u gotta try 'em right? Plus,popcorn is a healthy snack!(but not all the butter & salty flavorings,tee hee) Just a reminder that they use a "Mushroom" type of corn. It pops larger & airy. Let's taste it now... mmm! Buttery,salty,cheesy & oh so satisfying! Was that enough to entice you? There's a location @ Windward Mall (Ross wing) & Pearlridge (Sears wing & TJMax wing). It's instant gratification to crunch mindlessly on something while lounging around on a day off! U will have to wait 5-10 minutes because they always make a fresh,hot batch! So tired of the furikake,venture into some other flavor! When my sister,brother & I were younger,we would concoct our own flavors @ home. We'd search my mom's pantry for any type of dry powder. Saimin soup packet,curry powder & dashi powder were great! But we loved taco seasoning or Ajinomoto the best! We still do it today but not the MSG!!! Ha ha ha ! Crazy yeah? Grab a buttery bag to scarf down in the car on the way home! read more

Their popcorn is my crack. I'm addicted to their buttered popcorn and kettle corn. I always grab a bag when I'm at Windward mall. A medium bag of the buttered popcorn will set you back around $6.50 but it's a generous serving and always fresh. I have family members who prefer it without the butter. It's less greasy...but for me, douse it in that buttery deliciousness. read more

I love popcorn and I'm so glad I found this place. They have the puffy cloud or mushroom looking kind of popcorn and that's my absolute favorite. Something about that full kernel...mmmm. They have different types of combo flavors and you can get 3 different sizes. Normally get the volcano - butter, furikake and mochi crunch. Or just plain popcorn - which is always super good. There is a hint of salty buttery flavor and it's the perfect light snack. It also lasts a couple of days without going stale. read more

Great kiosk located in Windward Mall. The prices are reasonable and the popcorn was delicious. We got cheese, butter, and the colorful corn. All 3 carried a lot of flavor and it was quick to make. The team there is talented in preparing it. They are also creative and sell them not only in bags but also trays and tubes. They also sell cotton candy by the container. Didn't get a chance to ask if they cater to parties as that would be awesome if so. Will definitely ask in my next visit. Though they are quick in preparing the popcorn, there's usually a line so go with the idea that you will wait about 5 minutes or so with lines. Hats off to the owner(s) for creating a simple yet creative business. We should be having popcorn like this in theaters! read more

L1 Iniki Popcorn - Popcorn Shops Near Me - Kaneohe, Hawaii

Below is my original review of this business...abruptly, they changed their name which I'm assuming was because they previously had the same name as a very popular popcorn brand here in Hawaii. (This business has also changed the name of the popcorn I usually order - I have edited my review to reflect that.) Upon first discovering kakimochi (aka arare) went perfectly with popcorn, I thought my life was totally complete. I literally would not eat popcorn without kakimochi...well, ever. Then, I discovered the Inki Popcorn (a mix of popcorn, butter, furikake & sour cream & onion) at L1 Iniki Popcorn and, now my Yelp friends, I can die a happy woman. This, in my opinion, is the only popcorn I'll ever need in my life. Haha, enough with the dramatics, but this sh*t is good! And the best part, I'm like, "Kakimochi?! Oh, please." I know, I know, what kind of local girl says such ludicrous things, but it's true - no need! The popcorn kernels seem like they are on steroids because they are huge - and it's made-to-order and delish. I'll tell you what else is delish, the frosted colored popcorn. Like seriously, each color of this rainbow colored bag has its OWN flavor. No joke. It's not your typical sweet flavored popcorn. Chen, the owner, told me it's a secret how he makes it, and that's fine, but you need to try this! He explained to me, purple is grape, red is strawberry, yellow is lemon, anyway you get the gist. It is pretty darn yummy popcorn if you are feeling like sweet stuff. For the most part, I'm always craving my Iniki popcorn mix - and the price? Pretty cheap - small (one scoop) is like $5-ish and medium (2 scoops) is around $6...they now have a large which will run you about $7. Chen is such a kind man who works hard in this small niche of a business. Honestly, he could probably fill a bigger space (the kiosk is located on the first level near the elevators nearest to (what will be) Ross), but I'm stuck in a rock and a hard place because if his popcorn biz blows up, he might move and I cannot afford to lose this guy in my neighborhood! I'm pretty much there once a week now and you don't wanna mess with a girl who needs her Iniki popcorn fix. Ha! read more

The popcorn is great but they need to work on their customer skills. The young female was very rude and offensive.

Their popcorn is so big and fluffy. I went to their windward location. I just found out that they also have a kiosk in Pearlridge downtown. Price are reasonable and they have a lot of good flavors. I tried their cheddar cheese and buttered popcorn. Will definitely go back to try other stuff. read more

I will never go to this place again. I got popcorn from here this afternoon. I watched them pop it, however when I got home and tried it 5 minutes later, the popcorn was stale/chewy. It was incredibly disappointing. I immediately took it back and the man at the stand who did not speak English well, tried to tell me that they don't give refunds and I had to call a number. For $10, this was a ridiculous policy. He tried to tell me that there was nothing wrong with the popcorn because they had just popped it. I tried to explain to him that if his kernels were bad, it doesn't matter if you just popped it. He still wouldn't refund me. He then waved me off to talk to the young lady who works with him. She was nice, and at least attempted to help me. While she was in the process of trying to give me my refund, the man came over and said to me, "Well you ate some." I responded my saying, "of course I did, that's how I knew it was stale." I hadn't ate half the bag. However before I got in my car and drove back down there, I wanted to give it a fair shot and make sure that it was more than just one handful that was stale. It was. I invited him a couple times to try it himself and tell me it wasn't stale. He refused every time. The young lady who was trying to refund my card then made the discovery that she didn't have the authority to give refunds on the machine. It took another few minutes of fumbling around and queer looks from waiting customers for the man to finally say that they could give me a cash refund. In business, if someone tells you something isn't right, you should say, "fine," and try to accommodate them rather than telling them they are wrong and dismissing them out of hand. I could see if we were talking about a big ticket item. But we're talking about a $10 bag of popcorn. It's hurting your business more by arguing with me and making future customers wary, than just giving me my money and sending me on my way. Apparently at this place, the customer isn't right (even though I was). I think the fact that he didn't even want to try the popcorn himself is telling. For maybe, if he did and he found it to be bad, he'd have to stop selling, or at least feel bad about selling a substandard product. Better to tell me I'm wrong. Don't go here! Bad business practices and rude people, with no mechanism to deal with unhappy customers. read more

Stood in front of the worker 3-4 minutes, while she was on the phone going on and on. We finally left since we got no acknowledgment or anything as we were waiting to order, she continued her conversation knowing we were right there! Unbelievably terrible customer service, not sure how they have stayed in business that long when you can simply ignore customers and not even say anything as they walk away! We love the tsunami popcorn whenever we're around a popcorn stand or shop that offers it and my kids wanted a bag to snack on while shopping around the mall. So upset that he ignored my husband and I with our 2 kids patiently waiting. We won't be going back to this stand and I suggest you find a different spot as well. This kiosk is located by Panda Express and Fun Factory on the Ross end of Windward Mall. Highly disappointed!!!! read more

This is my FAVORITE popcorn, however they do take FOREVER to make orders...but at least the popcorn is fresh (i guess), they're so busy all the time, how come they can't make more popcorn at one time to be able to fulfill more orders at once? Tonight, they put up their "be back in 10 minutes" sign, so we waited, only for them to come back and tell us they were already closed and wouldn't make us popcorn. The mall was still open though! =( read more

Five stars for the product, zero stars for the crappy customer service. Let me start by saying I've tried the furikake/mochi crunch variety when a co-worker brought it to the office and OMG, best hurricane knock off ever! I drove to Kaneohe from town and stopped by the kiosk at 8:30pm only to be told by the girl sitting on the stool "we ran out of popcorn." Okay, so the website says you open until 9pm, so make some more! It wasn't so much that they ran out than it was the total lack of apologetic tone in her voice. A sincere "sorry" would have done wonders for my disappointment. So if you're out of popcorn a half hour before the kiosk is supposed to close, do you just sit on your ass until you clock out? This experience totally ruined it for me with this company. No matter how good your product is, the quality of customer service will ultimately make or break you. I hope management addresses this issue. Thanks, sister. You just saved me from paying some of your undeserved wages. read more

Disappointed! The popcorn was over pop and it tasted like the mochi crunch was abit stale. But the popcorn overall was alright... I would have gave 4 stars but the service there SUCKS!!!
