Ulu Mana is fairly new - it's located across the street from the Hawaiian Chip Company. I did not try the freshly made ulu chips but I did go over for the ulu hummus. The tumeric was my favorite!!The shop also carries a lot of other local products - it's definitely the place to hit up to shop local or take goodies to family/friends in the mainland or abroad.The owner was the one helping me and he was really friendly and welcoming.

Great shop selling a variety of local produce, coffee, and gifts! The owners are friendly and accommodating and there is a large glass wall so you watch the kitchen staff make the ulu chips - super cool!

Outer island (Kona Hawaii) boy does good!!! Loren, owner of Ula Mana does everything- from emptying trash to answering phones and shipping products. You name it he does it- here is my story:I read about Ulu Mana in our local Pacific Business News. I then received a "you're In" for one of Yelp's events at the Ulu Chip Factory. I loved the Ulu chips so much I went back for more. I then realized it makes great gifts by itself or mixed with other local products they have in their store. Here's a tip; If you want to get some of the Ulu goodies to share with your friends near, far and wide, please know that ULU SHIPS and their shipping fee is nominal and reliable. They can ship their hummus also; frozen and carefully packed. The hummus to be shipped is a minimum order of 4 containers.If you are looking for other items for consumption or for gifts, I'd make this place Ulu Mana your first stop when shopping.Parking plentiful They open at 09 am and they are closed on Sundays.Fun Fact- For those who may not know what ULU is? It is breadfruit. Healthy too

Small local company specializing in our local Ulu (breadfruit). From fresh made to order ulu chips to pre-packaged chips.Tip: get you a bag of the fresh order chips, you'll love it. My new fave is the churro style cinnamon sugar Mmm.They also make ulu hummus in a variety of flavors as well as supporting other small local businesses buy helping to sell their products as well.If you're visiting our islands and want something different stop by here!

Support local! I cam to their factory store and met the owners and was truly impressed by this business. Not only were they friendly and courteous, they also showed me the large variety of products (besides ulu chips) that they sell.Their Hawaiianfarmersmarket.com site lists the many products, including locally produced chocolate.I like their ulu chip and they are great with their ulu hummus as well. Ulu is a very filling and nutritious snack, so I fely doubly good about supporting another small local business and fueling my body as well.

SAMPLES, how can anyone not love free samples?! They have a whole sample bar for all the items in the front. So great to be able to try local products and taste what you really enjoy because buying it. Ulu means breadfruit, I totally forgot before coming here since I've only ever had breadfruit raw, this was so much better! Everything they used it in was so good!. The chips were made to order and the hummus too if they didn't have what you wanted. Overall a nice spot to see local items and try something new

'Ulu...Breadfruit and it's all here!'Ulu Chip Factory has been on my radar for quite some time and when I got the introductory chance through Yelp oh my gosh I embraced it and hope to experience all it has to offer!Located right across Hawaiian Chip Company in fact they share a parking lot with a sign "Hawaii's Snack and Gift Center" which is so smart making it convenient for anyone stop by for that snack or gift at anytime.Well I had to return as this is the perfect gift in fact I gave a bag to my neighbor who's always been amazing by being such a gentleman for any help that we require does so without hesitation and he's on a restricted diet and was delighted to see these chips that he's allowed to have.You're able to snag a freshly made bag or box of 'Ulu chips seasoned to your liking or those packed for retail in small and regular sized in Garlic Sea Salt, Sweet Potato Mix, or my favorite Cool Lime along with their Hawaiian Hummus that's made with yes 'Ulu is the perfect pair. Lots and lots of amazing local items are found here as they work together for support which makes it an easy place to gather all your gifts you been searching for.Thank you!

We stumbled upon this shop looking for tea, coffee, and a bathroom and found so much more! We were SOOO THANKFUL that we stopped by because it was a highlight of our day.First of all, we were able to get iced hibiscus tea and iced tea. Refreshing and delightful flavorful. Also, they did have a very nice bathroom! So all of our intentions were met.But then we discovered the Ulu Mana breadfruit chips and hummus. The delightfully friendly woman who was working the counter let us sample the garlic and sea salt chip and the lime and sea salt chips. Both were delicious, but he garlic sea salt was AMAZING! We HAD to order a bag.We tried all four hummus. If we weren't leaving tomorrow, we would have gotten the turmeric hummus...soo good! The others were good too. The beet hummus was a great flavor and the jalapeño had a great kick!The man then made the chips fresh for us! Cutting the breadfruit, seasoning them, and then frying them up. Now that's service! And delicious.While we waited, we enjoyed our drinks and looked around the adorable shop. They also boast lots of goods from the Hawaiian farmer's market. If there are items you want to sample, you can try them before you buy. What a great deal! My mom ended up getting some dark chocolate macadamia nuts. Yum!This accidental encounter with Ulu Mana ended up being a highlight of our trip. We only wish we had found it sooner so that we could have stocked up on chips and hummus for our entire visit. Next time! If you are able, make sure you stop by today and pick up the most delicious and addictive garlic chips and flavorful hummus today!

Fresh 'ulu chips and 'Ulu Hawaiian Hummus in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawai'i...Located across from the Hawaiian Chip Company on Republican Street is the 'Ulu Mana - 'Ulu Chip Factory and Store. Besides breadfruit chips and breadfruit hummus, they also sell merchandise from other local small businesses. We saw items such as Hawaiian Sea Salt, Truffle Popcorn, Hawaiian coffee, T-shirts, caps, gift baskets, and more! It's like a one-stop shop!Krystal is a very friendly and informative staff! She let us try various flavors of chips AND hummus - and even the truffle popcorn! Everything was so delicious! I told her that I wasn't going home right away, so, she offered the frozen version of the hummus! I got the turmeric and beet flavors! Yummy!I'll have to bring all of my mainland friends here!The 'ulu chips are very unique! The fruit (with skin intact) is cut with a meat slicer! Genius!The thick crunch is satisfying! I liked the garlic salt flavor the best! Try it!!!

Ulu Chips and Ulu Hummus, where have you been all my life? YUM! Unique operation specializing in Ulu in Kalihi by owner and founder, Loren! Ulu is breadfruit - has a similar taste to potato. All of their Ulu is sourced straight come the small local farmers in Hawaii. The farmers bring their crops directly to the facility where they process everything in house! You can even watch their process through the window. Stopped by today and met Crystal, the owner's fiancé and she was friendly and personable. Great energy! She offered samples of various Ulu Chips and even the hummus! My favorite was the Cinnamon Flavor and Garlic Flavor, which had a mild flavor and was still crunchy. The iced coffee with Oatmilk was decent. I do wish the garlic flavors were more prominent, but it's a good mild flavor to bring out the Ulu flavor. The Ulu chips did get stale/hard fast, by the next day. So, I recommend bringing a ziplock or airtight container if you plan to order fresh ones! We bought a bag of Sweet Potato Flavor, Beet Ulu Hummus, Turmeric Ulu Hummus. The Turmeric one was SO ONO! I was pleasantly surprised by the texture. We also tried the locally made Truffle Popcorn (yellow bag) and it was delicious! Couldn't resist taking a bag home.I love that they sell local products alongside their own personal Ulu business. Support local always! Across the street is the Hawaiian Chip Company which I highly recommend getting fresh taro chips there too! We can't wait to come back for more!!

Know a person who has everything ?Going to visit someone on another island or on the mainland?Want to make a basket of unique island goodies?Then you'll want to make a visit to Ulu Manu. Use the directions on Yelp and it will bring you directly into their parking lot. Once you spot their red building with revolving circular orange vent on the roof you're close.They have their own baseball hats and cute colored tshirts. We came for their ulu chips which comes in several flavors. They even have iced coffee.But they also carry many other products from different businesses like cookies, sauces, and so much more. So much to choose from that you could make a gourmet gift basket for a deserving someone.I had to chuckle cuz they even carry seasoning and the bag I purchased for someone special was called Rub My Breasts. Use it on chicken and I was told you can rub it on Turkey too.You may be delighted as me to find so many treasures here. The brown paper bag has an inner waxy like coating bag which kept my freshly prepared ulu chips crispy, crunchy and no greasy residue. I'm certain a smile will quickly appear with your first crunch of their ulu chips.Awesome product!!!

If you didn't know, you can now get fresh ulu chips here at the ulu factoryLocated in Kalihi across from another popular chip brand, ulu factory makes fresh ulu chips and they also sell a ton of other local products. They offer free samples too so don't be afraid to ask. Also they have a decent amount of parking in front but if you go on the weekend it should be less crowded. It's a cute store inside and they do have a bathroom which was a nice thing lol. They're usually at the farmers market across Oahu but if you want fresh chips I highly recommend coming here. Staff is very nice and I noticed they're picking up more attraction so great for them!
