I had no idea Fujiya Hawaii is still open for business. I was gifted these Pure Peanut Butter Mochi…read morefrom one of my students during Teachers appreciation week. It was sooo delicious! Soft, fresh mochi filled with crunchy peanut butter. Yum! I remember when they were on Waikamilo Road in Kalihi. If you didn't know, like me. They've relocated to the McCully area. Where mochi is continued to be made fresh and a window to see the making of it. The bright and colorful painted wall caught my attention. Great for taking selfies or pictures your purchases. There's three benches outside decorated with stickers that's available for purchase. Too cute! Fujiya Hawaii offers much more than delicious mochi. Such as iced cold drinks, locally made snacks, mochi leis, T-Shirts and the cutest stickers, to name a few things available for purchase. I asked a few questions and the pleasant lady that answered my questions was very helpful and offered me samples of the different flavors of Senbei & Japanese Okoshi- crispy puffed brown rice with macadamia nuts. That was really yummy! I had to add a bag to my order. By Supporting a locally and family owned business, that's been in business since in 1953.

This charming little shop is very clean and offers a variety of mochi to choose from…read more We were greeted as soon as we walked in and was assisted right away. There was one employee working at the register and another in the back. The service was attentive and efficient although there was only one person on the floor. They carry a great assortment of mochi and manju, including some varieties that need to be refrigerated. In addition, they offer local favorites like li-hing gummy bears and assorted flavored sembei, giving you plenty of sweet and savory options to choose from. The employee at the register was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, happily sharing information about the different mochi flavors and offerings. Most importantly, the mochi here is absolutely delicious. During this visit, we ordered a Girls' Day pack and tried the chocolate ganache Oreo flavor which was amazing. The mochi was perfectly soft and paired beautifully with the rich chocolate ganache filling. My friend loved it so much that she went back the very next day to order more! If you love mochi, you really need to stop by. I highly recommended this shop.

We were driving by when I told my husband to pull over. One of the menu pics caught my eye. It was…read morebuy one get one free watermelon slushy. I love watermelon juice and had to get it. We got two for $9. It was soooo good and refreshing. They blend it with fresh watermelon and the watermelon was sweet. I want to go back and get more. They sell mostly Chinese food. They have some dim sum items and manapuas; both steamed and deep fried. I have to try some of their food next time I'm here. It looks really good in the pics. I wanted to order some food, but my hubby was rushing me out of there. We were illegally parked and couldn't stay long. They don't have parking. It's street parking only.

Like half the size of most manapua. And it was dry and hard. Like WTF. Ordered the steamed gau zee. This was just ok. Golden Duck does it wayyyy better for bigger ones with better filling at the same price. In all this place sucked lemons.

Ok so I forgot to check in when I went here but I must say... THIS PLACE IS AWESOME FOR SNACKS THAT…read moreYOU WANT WITH FLAVORS! TBH, I'm going back for more! Tastes so yummy and better than the ones we have in the regular stores. SORRY... but it's OUR opinion. Oh and their fruit snacks are pretty good too! ANYWHO, this place is worth TRYING and I'm not saying more cause I want to have them all to myself! HAHAHA! Nah nah but I'd rather YOU go in yourself to see it instead of listening to me on what I liked or thought. They have so much new and yummy flavored chips and I swear... it tastes GOOD! I got the buldak flavor, crab (MY FAVORITE), steak (my husbands choice), chicken, cucumber flavor, ketchup, lobster, chicken and then they have some others I didn't think to try like avocado or nori. I figured they'd be good for a second try. But the best was the apricot snacks! Idk ‍ it's probably because I needed it. But overall, it's NOT DRIED OUT! Not YET at least. Anywho, they've been out for about a year and they look as if they're not that busy. So, I'm hoping this will get MORE people to go here and visit to keep them open and so they CAN bring in MORE Asian snacks that we ALL wait for. Okie dokes! Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Hooray! One 2 Buy has added price tags to most of the items!…read more A number of items I looked at had English nutrition labels as well. Not everything, but it's a great improvement. The back of the store now has lights on. You can see in the back of the store. You no longer need to be apprehensive about venturing in the back of the previously unlit store. There is air conditioning, however, it doesn't seem to work well. I was in here for ten minutes and perspiring due to humidity and heat. I asked the one employee if she was uncomfortable in working in this heat. She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

So fresh and delicious! Mahalo!

I will literally drive to town just to eat Peppas. Their food is always amazing!…read more The meat is always cooked very nicely. I've never had anything that was undercooked or overcooked! Their flavors are scrumptious too. They must soak the meats for the perfect amount of time, as it is always very flavorful and not overbearing. I've tried other places, and in my opinion, they have the best bibimkooksoo. It's never watery as the sauce is evenly mixed. The vegetables/sides are always very fresh too. When I went in, I asked for daikon and the front of the house cashier went into the back to get some out of their refrigerator. From coming here for so long, I know the owner is super on it about food temperature and overall quality of the food. He does not play around and only gives out the best to customers. If something is not to his standard, he corrects the issue right away. I like that! The environment in the store is always very chill and clean. They play light music and keep the tables wiped down. If you're in the area, I suggest giving them a try! You won't be disappointed :)

This is my man's favorite place for Korean BBQ. It's your typical local Korean food, except their…read moreportions are quite generous! I always end up ordering the Peppa's Special, which is basically a mixed plate. You have the option of including rice or not. If out opt out of rice, you get an extra vegetable side! If I already have rice at home, I usually do this option. Speaking of vegetables, they have a good variety! If you go closer to closing time, it's very limited though since they seem to stop prepping. Peppas is located in Makiki, across the parking lot from Paula's Sports Cards, Etc.

I love coming to this Foodland! If I lived here, I'd be here at least two or three times a week or…read moremaybe more. I did come here some mornings and have a small breakfast. They also have my favorite Mexican sodas, Jarritos! But what I really love is the wine bar in the back of the store! I came here twice because there was a really good brute rose that we liked. It was also really cool when Jin, one of the bartenders, recognized me from the last time I was here. He also remembered Janey when we had brunch and he took care of us. They also have some great food to order, but no dessert. Also, you cannot eat food purchased from Foodland at the bar. It's just store policy so no argue! They also seem to have a number of regulars that frequent which is cool. Looking forward to coming back! Mahalo Foodland and Jin!

I don't normally go to Foodland as I prefer poke from other places but I had to go to get Asato's!…read moreI got the strawberry and lychee flavors and they are sooo good. It's convenient to be able to pick up asato's there instead of go to their Pali location and sadly their Waikīkī location doesn't sell pints. The pickled lihing lychee flavor was the but I resisted as I more of a purest. My husband also fought his demons as he wanted the green river flavor. But the lychee was so good! Strawberry too! Asato's must be wizards because tell me how it's frozen yet remains light and soft (straight out of the freezer!) If you're ever there, go check um go! I'm only rating it 3 stars because traffic and parking are terrible and it's so crowded in the store. But I did get their Kara-oke chicken with miso shoyu (?) sauce. It was crispy and plentiful but I wouldn't describe it as delicious or craveable so I wouldn't order it again when I go back to get my asato's.
