Lin's Hawaiian Snacks

Stopped by here before heading to the airport to grab some snacks and gifts. They have a variety of candy, dried fruits, and food. I really like how they have the smaller sample sized bags so that you can try them without the full commitment to getting a bigger bag. We got three small bags of the lihing sour mix, a large bag of the lihing sour mix slices, a few sampler sized bags and a bag of lychee sour belts. Overall, we loved everything we got except for the lihing sour mix. It's really unfortunate that we got four bags. When we got home and tried it, they did not taste great. When we ate it, it tasted like soap.... It was a waste of money. Even the watermelon slices in the mix did not taste like watermelon. I don't think I've ever had watermelon candy that tasted bad before until now. I'd definitely recommend getting their other stuff but avoid the li hing sour mix

FoodThere were endless aisles of snacks and candy all over the store. There was complimentary water in a dispenser and cups to keep cool during the heat wave. Prices on average range from $6+ depending on the item. I purchased the Ube Chex Mix ($10 per bag) and Lihing Mui Chewy Candy ($6). They were both very light in flavor. The candy reminded me of Now and Later, but a softer candy version. Service Very friendly and welcoming employees were readily available to help as needed with any questions my party had. Parking There is a parking lot to the left when facing the storefront.

Cute little shop with paid parking on the side. Large variety of specialty snacks which you can also find at their swap meet stand. However, available in the store only are hand made drinks, shaved ice and desserts. I saw photos of the adzuki specialty ice and it was definitely worth trying. Crafted with pride and care, it was a uniquely flavored tower of ice cream, sweetened ice, and adzuki beans dotted with mochi. Definitely going back again to sample the other hand crafted items.

If you're a fan of all things ling hing then make Alin's a must visit in Honolulu! The selections are far and wide from preserved plums, lemon and orange peels and ginger to all kinds of fruits like guava, mango, papaya, lemon, lime, pineapple, apple, peach and cherries. They've also got items such as regular and spicy dried squid, cuttlefish, crab meat and smoked tako "octopus" and yes, your head will be spinning. Service is pretty much self serve but don't reach into the jars the workers will be happy to assist you and even let you taste samples. I really enjoy the interior layout with jars upon jars of preserved items and wall to wall selections. After you bring it home to the mainland and if you miss it you can order from them directly on their website!

Popped into LIN's Hawaiian Snacks on a Saturday during the afternoon and it was a lil busy with customers buying snacks, shave ice etc. I've been too Lin's Hawaiian snacks for a bit now and also when they do pop up's at the Aloha swap meet at Aloha stadium before (I'm not sure if they still do pop ups at the swap meet might have to follow up with the business) Parking - parking could be challenging but I believe they do have a small private lot next to the building their in. What I normally get here is their Li-Hing Mango snacks so yummy and it's Soft which is good when the mango is soft and not hard and chewy. Would i recommend this SPOT to people YES FASHO I highly recommend this Lin's Hawaiian snack shop to other people and YELPERS and people from all over the world.

What better way to spend a rainy Hawaiian day than to sample candy! The most affordable and delicious candy on the island. I spent a quick $200 on candy in just minutes. Put it in the basket.. Yup.. Love this spot!

Hey Lin's Staff!You were right! This new canvas bag held all the goodies I was bringing home! Love my lemon peel gummies, pineapple gummies, and chocomochi! Mahalo again!

I came here in the search for rock candy which is surprisingly hard to find. The store is filled with tons of different snacks such as sweets to savory to local favorites. When I first entered the store, I smiled at the workers while they just looked at me and went back to their conversation...which was a little awkward. I thought they would be a little more friendly but that was okay because I was in awe of the vast selection of snacks. They also have crack seed options which looked so delicious! Their products are a little pricey but I don't mind if it's to support a local business. The sweet potato snacks were so hard and tires your jaw as you keep chewing. Wouldn't recommend that. I got my li hing rock candy and am quite happy with it! They also have frozen treats such as shave ice and icees! There's tables outside for their customers. I wish the staff was a little more friendly but besides that their selection was awesome!

A great place to pick up and try local snacks and treats. Do you want to take a special treat to snack on at the movies or to take with you on a trip? Then come on into Lin's Hawaiian Snacks and fill your basket!So many options here! You can choose from sweet, sour, salty and savory! Take your pick. Today, I picked up a bag of Lin's premium seedless sweet li hing mui! Is your mouth puckering right now?Great personal service here. The staff made sure I liked the li hing mui offering me a taste before purchase. That's customer service with Aloha. The store is organized and clean. They even have a courtesy cup of iced water to cool down from the heat outside. There is a private pay to stay parking lot located near the store entrance.

Still the best quality snacks, crack seed, li hing mui, candies, boba, shave ice, dried fruits, arare, dried seafood, etc., a snack for everyone, for all occasions. Great ideas for omiyage/gifts to bring back home, wherever home is. They keep up on new snacking trends, and always have new items in their store. Conveniently located across from Whole Foods on Kamake'e & Queen St. in town. They also set up shop at the Aloha Stadium swap meet on weekends, for the those that want the packaged snacks, and don't live in town. Best fresh cut fruits, served w/Aloha.
