Always shop at lins when I'm in Oahu. Usually get my products at the aloha swap meet, but not on this trip. A lot more convenient for me, since it was close to the hotelKid-friendliness: The kids may go wild in here with all of the local snacks

This is the most incredible snack shop!!! If you want to support a local business and enjoy delicious, unique snacks, make sure to make a stop at Lin's! There's something for everyone. Candies, gummies, arare, dried fruits, nuts, seeds, lemon peel, ginger, dried fish/seafoods, jerky, li hing everything, popcorn, cookies, chocolate...you name it, Lin's has it! They even have a drink and coffee menu if you're thirsty. I especially love their "snack bag" section where you can buy little bags of every kind of snack for $1.25 each (and buy 10 get 1 free!). Such a great way to sample something you've never tried before or provide a ton of variety for a custom gift box. My personal favorite find here is the Ube Chex Mix. It's so addictive. The store workers are all really helpful and polite. Overall prices are rather expensive compared to a place like Long's but they have unique things that you can't find in many other places. Will definitely return and give them lots of business!

Great selection! They have everything you can think of and more. Some of my favorites are Li hung mui sour patch kids, watermelon gummies, sour belts Ube Chex mix Li Hung Mui powder to bring home and sprinkle on fresh fruit or in drinks Hurricane popcorn Dried plums, mangos, kiwi Since I found Lin's, it's the only place I buy snacks from in Waikiki now. Don't waste your time at Longs or ABC. Lin's is on a whole other level.

Ordered a chunky monkey shake that was supposed to be a banana, peanut butter, and chocolate shake but only tasted peanut butter butter and tasted like it was made with ice. Shakes should be made with ice cream and be thick and creamy this was

Thanks for the “extra” in my Cuttle Fish (Hot) bag. It was rubberlucious. ?

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.

Visited this shop many times as a tourist and my mom always asks me to bring her back something from here. Such a huge variety and they sell mini bags too if you want to just sample something. For some snacks they also have 2 sizes. Quality varies from item to item but it's still worth it to come visit as they may have something here that you may not be able to find in other common stores. They also have to cutest friendliest shop dog!

The crack seed is standard, but they do have a good variety with various price ranges. It's a bit loud, but it's fine unless you don't like the music. I figure it help keep the workers upbeat. The people were friendly, and I was greeted upon entering.
