    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!

    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...

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.

They're a small kiosk inside Pearlridge, right next to TJ Maxx.

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.
