A popular Seoul pie shop is bringing its pies to Oahu for a short pop-up, a small win for Hawaii dessert fans and another sign of Korean food culture spreading across the U.S.

• Thousand Pie, a Korean bakery known for long lines, is selling its pies at Domo Domo Hawaii inside the Ewa Beach Golf Club through early October.
• The pies look like classic American pies but use Korean baking techniques, with lighter, less sweet fillings like vanilla bean custard and banana crème brûlée.
• The pop-up runs during the day, and the restaurant keeps serving pies until closing each night, but quantities are limited.
• The timing lines up with Chuseok, the Korean Thanksgiving holiday, which is widely celebrated in Hawaii.
• The owners credit K-pop, K-beauty, and Korean dramas for making Korean food and desserts easy to sell to American customers.

Outlook: The pop-up ends October 4, and strong demand could bring the bakery back to Hawaii or the mainland for a longer run.
