As you enter this little shop, you get transported to your childhood. There's seed jars, various types of candies and an icee machine. My order today was two icees, one with lihing mui juice and powder and other with ice cream, chocolate gummy bears, fun dip and yan yans. The icee here is probably the best, don't know what they do but it's soft, sweet and juicy/slushy. The flavor lasts until the last sip. The service was great as usual and the treats hit the spot while walking through the mall.

I am going to be honest. I absolutely love the snacks and place and I would come to this location for years... but they hired new staff and they gave me the WORST ATTITUDE! A Korean Lady gave me a difficult time just trying to buy some items. Then, the next time I came, a younger girl gave me sarcasm and attitude to my question regarding the drinks sold. THEN the last time I came, the same Korean lady got my order for the Icee wrong and started to tell me I was wrong and the drink she is making me is ok.... Seriously?!?! Then I said "I'd rather get the drink I wanted originally" and she started to aggressively mumble korean to herself(possibly taking about me) and gave my drink in a very rude manner. I'm super polite and nothing really gets on my nerves. But that was the last straw, and I'm really sad that I can't even enjoy coming to that place anymore without the bad customer service attached to it :(

I am going to be honest. I absolutely love the food and place and I would come to this location for years... but they hired new staff and they gave me the WORST ATTITUDE! (I am super nice, I give aloha even if people are in a bad mood kinda person) so I gave the benifit of the doubt for the rude customer service 2 MORE TIMES :( It starts with - A Korean Lady gave me a difficult time just trying to buy some items (she comes back later in the story). Then, the next time I came, a younger girl gave me sarcasm and attitude to my question regarding the drinks sold. THEN the last time I came, the SAME Korean lady got my order for the Icee wrong and started to tell me I was wrong and the drink she is making me is ok.... Seriously?!?! Then I said to her "I'd rather get the drink I wanted originally" and clarified multiple times the one I wanted. she then started to aggressively mumble Korean to herself(possibly taking about me) and gave my drink in a very rude manner. I'm super polite and nothing really gets on my nerves. But that was the last straw, and I'm really sad that I can't even enjoy coming to that place anymore without the bad customer service attached to it :( who know, I came here as a kid and I wanna just get my fav. Icee they sell, but I'm worried about the customer service provided...

BUYER BEWARE! STAY CLEAR OF THIS DUMP! I should have known better when I asked this overly ambitious sales/owner lady for a sample of her SO CALLED PRUNE MUI and she refused! How stupid could I be but I was ono. So I grudgingly forked over the $7.35 a quarter pound she quoted me at, which for some reason turned into almost $8.50. Needless to say I'm already a little bothered but as if to add Chile pepper water to the wound, I opened this small container holding about 7 prunes and 2 apricots that had NO BUSINESS calling itself prune mui. There was NO MUI or anything else remotely resembling prune mui. People when I tell you that this lady simply poured a bag of generic prunes and a few apricots into one of those old school glass crack seed jars I kid you not! Oh I was so pissed off especially cuz I was so ono yah, I had to go and tell this lady what I thought of her scamming me. I honestly cannot believe what some of these totally greedy, unscrupulous, scam artists posing as business owners perpetrate on the good-hearted local customers that unfortunately patronize their dumps!

I have so many memories of going to crackseed stores with my Grandma when I was younger. Seed City has been on the ground level of Pearlridge outside Macy's for as long as I can remember, but I've never been here with my Grandma. Anyway, I was doing my Christmas shopping this year (2022), and I'm really into buying unique gifts for each person I buy for. So this year, some people are getting Crack seed. Oh boy though! I didn't know nowadays it's almost $25/ pound! I don't know prices from when I was younger, but dang I was surprised! Either way, I don't mind paying thise prices to help keep a local small business alive and thriving.

Shopping for snacks at Pearlridge Mall... Located on the ground level of the Macy's wing, you'll find a kiosk named "Seed City" under the stairs. My friend was looking for wet Mango slices in a jar. It's those big containers filled with preserved fruit. The worker will scoop out some seed (such as li hing mui), place it in a package, and weigh it. Seed City also has pre-packaged snacks - great for gift giving! I'll have to come back after I find out if this is the kind of mango that my friend wants. I'm quite sure that this is the one!

Looking for your local Hawaii snacks? This is the place to go. Get your candy, pickled seeds, and pickled fruits. If it's hot out, you can get a icee, with toppings like li hing mui or Ice cream. So many options and so much variety! They have all kinds of things, Tylenol for headaches, band aids just in case. For me, it's their icee. It is the Best way to cool off on a hot summer day. The strawberry li hing mui icee is my go-to! Perfect amount of li hing mui. Here's a tip. Get your icee on your way out of the mall and BEAT THE HEAT! Especially after walking around the mall, its a definite must to stop by before you leave. This place is located at the Uptown side of Pearlridge Mall. You'll find it close to Macy's!

I love local candy stores like Seed City! I tried their pickled mango but the flavor wasn't my cup of tea. I know next time not to get it there. I love their li hing mui gummy worms. They use the sour crawlers that look like the Trolli gummies and it mixed with the li hing mui powder, it makes it so tasty and addicting! I am also a big fan of their strawberry icee with li hing mui juice. The first couple sips are so sour because of the juice but when it has a chance to mix in with the icee, the flavor is perfect. This is a favorite of my bf and I. Another thing I like getting from there is their cola & strawberry icee mixed in a cup. Another nostalgic flavor from when I was younger. When used to go to the local crack seed store across the street from my elementary school. The people who work there are really nice. I like the young man who always works there. He's always in a good mood, makes good conversation and is very well mannered. Although this place is really small. Their icees are spectacular and customer service is excellent!

This place reminds me of the crack seed that was located in the shopping center near my house. I remember always stopping by after school with my cousins back in the day to get a snack and even a bag of pogs which at the time was sold for 10 for $1 ... or may have been 20 for $1. Lol Anywho, I always come here for their icee! My go to is the strawberry lihing icee. It always fulfills my sweet(sour)tooth. That never fails, however their crackseed may be a little on the pricier side compared to their competitors. The lady that works there doesn't speak much English but is super friendly. It's located right outside of Macy's under the stairwell, it's sort of dark but you won't miss it.

This place brings me back memories I use to come here when a was a small kid. Wow that's many years ago possibly over 40 years. Their also located the same place under the stairway of Pearlridge near Macy's. Hopefully it's the same owners because nowadays local businesses don't last especially now with this pandemic. My older sister always brought me to Pearlridge every Friday when she use to get paid and treat me to McDonald's for dinner and also bought me a toy .Now that I'm adult it's time for me to pay her back . I think next time I'm at Seed City I should buy my sister something to bring back memories. Keep on supporting local .
