The most authentic taste in all the seeds we bought over the last 60 years...Mango, plums, lihing moi...I am thrilled to have found this place.them...

My friend on Guam loves crack seed, and so for the holidays I’ll go hunting for her requests. I used to go into Chinatown but thankfully I found one of the best and oldest near me, in Kaimuki. The store fronts Koko Head Avenue, and if you can’t find street parking, there’s a big metered parking lot behind the building - be sure to bring quarters!In the age of COVID, you’re not allowed to shop in the small store - you can step into the entrance and order from the friendly staff who will bag your selections. There’s a menu on the window and door, but you can also ask them about the many varieties. They hot seal the plastic bags, which is awesome if you’re bringing them with you on a plane for friends off island.This will be my new go-to for crack seed!

Not too many of this kine shop. I value it every time I see it. Call it nostalgia but this crack seed store is a Honolulu treasure. Also the king mui is amazing

A NOSTALGIC PLACE one of the few you will find with the huge glass jars filled with all kinds of crack seeds. Thou the original owner retired last year the new owners kept it just as I can remember walking inside with my grandmother. Its become a visitor attraction as people walk in memorized with so many choices. Open 7days a week but you may wanna call ahead of time prior to visiting. Enjoy cuz we do! 😁

I stopped by getting me some treats here. They put the menu board on the show window and front door with pictures, which helps us to order with its name. It is a brilliant idea! Ordering and paying becomes so smooth. Still looking at those seeds jar makes me happy... Very dangerous store, for sure.

Delicious salty-sweet snacks (dried fruits & veg, including olives !) sold by weight. Sadly, most all of them contain artificial colourings and artificial sweeteners, which strangely seems to be typical of li hing / crack seed candies. (4 stars because of the chemical colourings & sweetener.)

Growing up in Hawaii I found for me , the Kaimuki Crack Seed Store had the best quality at really good prices. Being able to order from them online made it even better. Thank you Kaimuki Crack Seed Store.

Ive shopped this store in Kaimuki for 50 years. I probably first went as an infant in the 60s in the arms of my Grandma or Mom or Aunty or Uncle since it was in our neighborhood.As a keiki, it was my favorite shop for candy and crack seed and Icee. Used to ride my bike there 8 or 10 years old... by myself... imagine that these days.COVID-19 has changed everything including da Crack Seed Store but they have done a great job coping with the public health requirements. Only one at a time allowed but everything is in plain view.Still the largest variety of top quality crack seed presented in the old-timey jars.Still da best Icee machine.Still the friendliest and most efficient staff on the island, me ke aloha a me ka mahalo for their customers.

I used to come here ages ago with my Aunty. Looked so forward to getting my little bag of mui. Stopped in here since we got a sandwich next door and it has not changed a bit! Great selection of crack seed - got a little bag for the plane ride home.

Plenty to choose from. Heading back tomorrow to pick up more to take break to Utah.

Just received my order in Florida and wanted to say, Thank you so much! I had a little bit of everything and everything was amazing. I definitely ruined my dinner but it was worth every bite! I really appreciate how fast everything arrived especially during these COVID times. Will definitely be back to your website to order more! THANK YOU!!

The best authentic champion we eat growing up. Try it

What a treasure! One of the great unchanged experiences about this area. Shop is between Panache and Sprout Sandwich Shop.Here you will still find the ole school crack see jars and delightful snacks by the pound. Love the iso peanut; this is the old school style, nice shoyu flavor and crunchy exterior before you get to the peanut.The special super item to ask for is their li-hing Icee with vanilla ice cream.The shopkeeper puts real li-hing juice in the cup along with a plum that has been soaking in the special li-hing sauce. Whoa!! Broke da mouth!!!Afternoons you might find a line but be patient cause its worth it. On street parking available with public parking (lot) located directly behind the shop. They also accept major credit cards.

Friendly. Free samples.

Great old skool back in the day place to get some local snacks. The owner is the original guy that made li hing popular.

A friend who grew up in Honolulu told me to come here for great snack. She was right. Great hidden gem (whole in the wall).You pick the item and how much in weight then Lin seals in pouches for you to take home.Super nice guy and lets you taste and tells you what you might like and not.

New owner since we last came. Same overall selection but because of Covid you cant go in and look around like before. Previous owner would let you sample before you bought. Now you order by looking at pictures of the products.

Wonderful variety of the most delicious crack seeds on the island and speciality icee if you know what to ask for🤤👌

The Seedless King Mui is my favorite and this is the only place that has it! And now they have Baked Manapua!!! And the new owners are really nice although I miss the previous owner as well!

I grew up going to this mom & pop crack seed store. Same people & same great service with all the seeds, candies & icees you need!! I absolutely love this place!!

Crack Seed is dried plums and fruits. Going in to this store is like going back to my childhood. Love the Li Hing Plums in red and white. If you want to try local Asian treats, try this place, its amazing...

OMG.... Last of its kine!Some places havent changed as if I was young again. Remember those HUGE GLASS JARS with all kinds of CRACKSEED, CANDY AND MORE? As soon as you walk in the aroma that fills your nose as you zoom in to see whats in each jar like some kind of surprise awaits for you. The old Chinese man stands by as you try to decide among 30+ choices....

Mr Young the owner pau hana, going retire. Someone else going run the place though. Have a good retirement. We going miss all the good grinds you had.☹️

Very interesting snacks, unusual and uniquely Hawaii. The icee with Lin Hong is a local favorite, not on the menu. Staff are not very personable but a good place to try these snacks.

Great as usual new owners havent missed a beat

Went to pick up King Mui. The owner was super nice and helpful!

A great old world type experience. If you dont know what crack seed is the owner will walk you through finding what you like.

Ive been going here for a longtime and it is an amazing place for snacks. It is like heaven for a child! The man in the shop is really nice too, he really knows what you like and he respects it.He also helps a lot when you dont know what you want and he gives u samples sometimes and he loves all his customers!

I was searching for Li hing mui seeds and was always sold out, so I came across this store through maps. This store has variety of seeds. The owner is a very sweet, nice guy, thank you for your wonderful service and Aloha. Look forward to future visits to my new favorite store 💗💗💗

Went to 2 other places. This was the best. Had so much to choose from. Yes!

Good ole store been here for years!! In love with the icee with li hing mui juice and seed

My favorite crack seed store! I come all the way from Waianae to talk story with Mr. Young and buy his delicious King Mui.Hands down the best place to buy all kinds of crack seed - from Li Hing Mango to Seedless Cherry.He also has Icee here too 😊😊.

Good selection

The best crack seed in Hawaii. Have been getting Icee and seeds there with my dad since the 80s. Nice, patient proprietor has been there since...forever.

Authentic and traditional store with great selection of cracked seeds in many different flavors! Owner is an expert and very friendly! Knows his stuff and makes good suggestions!

Ordered several different flavored seeds and was immediately taken back to my childhood. Be careful though its very easy to overdo your order of too sour or too salty in a flash. Go ez on your 1 st oder. But if you remember what you had as a kid youll instantly be taken back. Cant explain how happy I was with my order!

Great store owner very friendly. Too bad owner retired!

You have to get an icee with the li thing mui seed and the syrup. Its so ono.

Old fashion elementary school days hang out

5 Stars in the store, the owner and the set up.Now, if I can only catch him when he has WET SWEET LI HING MUI...LOL He runs out a lot.

Kids loved it!

If only pops was actually their i went their at 4pm and pops wasnt even there the place was closed

Best seed store ever the Li hing icees are the best on the island the medium iced has the best ratio of Li hing to icee. Also the li hing mango seeds are delicious. Great local shop

Love the Store. Used to buy my seeds there while I attended Chaminade U in Hon. MISS YOU GUYS!!. Highly Recommended. Family Own, Owesome Recipies. Yummy!

A localnfavorite for sweets as well as some spices to take home.

Wow, so much old sku stuff to eat. Hard to wait in line though, mouth was watering the whole time. Cotton mouth no more!!! Lol

Cool stuff you wont find anywhere else!

Every time Im in Oahu from the big island I stock up. Havent found another crack seed place as good as this one!

I was sent on a mission to find li hing mui gummy bears, and my search brought me here. Id never heard of li hing, and the gentleman running the shop was more than helpful in explaining the whole process. He had my wife and I try some of the basics, and sold us on some candied orange rinds. Super nice guy, and the perfect spot for all your li hing mui needs!

The best crackseed store!

Love their olive cake, iso peanuts

The place to go for my Icee Blast fix!

This is the place to get your Li Hing Icee fix...

Best crack seed store.

One of the few remaining neighborhood crack seed stores, a real gem!

Awesome selection of tasty treats

I havent been but I really want to try

Love Mr Young

Yummy!

I can sample it. My uncle is friendly.

This is Hawaiis local foodLee Hin Mui (dried plum in Japan) shop.I think Japanese people have experienced it, but I wish it was a little sweeter, sour, or less salty. (Lol)I can taste it so I can understand my taste, and by the time I leave the store, Im full.Great for souvenirs that are hard to find!

Akshen

Various kinds of dried plums are on sale.The best snack!Strawberry ICE drinks are also soldIt is quite delicious when you put a crack seed inside.
