My favorite is the Hurricane popcorn … Absolutely worth it. Buy it here before you go upstairs to the movies.

Upon first discovering kakimochi(aka arare) went perfectly with popcorn, I thought my life was totally complete. I literally would not eat popcorn without kakimochi… well, ever. Then, I discovered the Typhoon Popcorn(a mix of popcorn, butter, furikake & sour cream & onion) at Hurricane Popcorn and, now my Unilocal friends, I can die a happy woman. This, in my opinion, is the only popcorn I’ll ever need in my life. Haha, enough with the dramatics, but this sh*t is good! And the best part, I’m like, «Kakimochi?! Oh, please.» I know, I know, what kind of local girl says such ludicrous things, but it’s true — no need! The popcorn kernels seem like they are on steroids because they are huge — and it’s made-to-order and delish. I’ll tell you what else is delish, the frosted colored popcorn. Like seriously, each color of this rainbow colored bag has its OWN flavor. No joke. It’s not your typical sweet flavored popcorn. Chen, the owner, told me it’s a secret how he makes it, and that’s fine, but you need to try this! He explained to me, purple is grape, red is strawberry, yellow is lemon, anyway you get the gist. It is pretty darn yummy popcorn if you are feeling like sweet stuff. For the most part, I’m always craving my typhoon popcorn mix — and the price? Pretty cheap — small(one scoop) is like $ 4-ish and medium(2 scoops) is around $ 5.(FYI — cash only.) Chen is such a kind man who works hard in this small niche of a business. Honestly, he could probably fill a bigger space(the kiosk is located on the first level near the elevators nearest to Sports Authority), but I’m stuck in a rock and a hard place because if his popcorn biz blows up, he might move and I cannot afford to lose this guy in my neighborhood! I’m pretty much there once a week now and you don’t wanna mess with a pregnant girl who needs her Typhoon popcorn fix. Ha!
