Because of the pandemic restaurants close at 9pm at the most and you don't have a choice but to eat the possible quick bites along the way. Nearest 7-Eleven is in the Kurtistown and glad that I am not that kinda high maintenance woman and I am just okay with cheap bites from 7-Eleven. LoL. So we got there, ad we're greeted upon entering. Pretty decent convenient store and it's pretty clean. Got carbonara spaghetti and sliced cantaloupe fruit. Cold water to wash out my food down and some sweet treats to reward myself. And I am settled, ended my tummy so full at the end of the night and happily leave the store. Convenient store like this saved a lot of people from hunger like me.

Unfortunately, I had a little issue and forgot to pack extra of my medication for my trip here to…read morethe Big Island. I Needed to get more and I needed to get it NOW. It was Friday and I needed to get it for the NEXT day's dose. I called my doctor and they sent the prescription. I called my insurance company and they approved it. The two pharmacies near my airb&b didn't have it in stock. To make a long story short, the Pharmacist(s) at this location spent quite a bit of time and effort calling the doctor's office and the insurance company and getting all the ducks in a row so I could get my medication as necessary. They had to get an override from the insurance company in order to dispense more of my meds before the next authorized refill. It took a little bit of time, but as I was hiking the trek to Akaka Falls, I got the call and it all was approved and arranged. My prescription was going to be ready in 30 Minutes. So often people are quick to put bad reviews up, but you don't always see the ones where they really work hard to make sure the person gets what they need and in a prompt manner. Thank you VERY much to the CVS Team! Oh- and CVS bought Long's - So the sign says Long's - But it's a CVS. and that caused me a little confusion in the beginning. But it's all clear now.

Finally resorted to going into the store and even though there was no line, and there are several clerks at the pharmacy desk, you'll need to check in via an electronic kiosk.

I mentioned to one of the Pharmacy staff the challenge I had trying to get in touch with them and he just shrugged his shoulders.

It had that small-town feel where you walk in and instantly feel welcomed, like you've been there before. We grabbed what we needed, but what stood out was the aloha spirit--real, not forced. The kind that reminds you why places like this matter, especially when you're out there trying to help and stay grounded at the same time. The hospitality hit different. Conversations turned into connections, and before we knew it, we were getting names of people in the area who could use a hand. That's the kind of place this is--it doesn't just serve the community, it is the community.

My wife and I stopped by Hirano Store around 10:00 a.m. on a Thursday morning to grab a quick bite…read more We picked up a bowl of chili (without rice) and a bowl of mac salad. Since both items we ordered had been prepared beforehand and didn't require additional cooking, our order was ready in about three minutes. Overall, I thought the chili was just ok. Although all the ingredients in the chili were properly cooked, the chili as a whole lacked depth of flavor. Additionally, when I opened the container, there was an unappetizing amount of oil that had pooled to the top. I am not used to seeing olives and mushrooms mixed into chili, but these additions added some more texture to the chili. The mac salad was a big miss for me. I thought the macaroni was slightly overcooked, the salad lacked salt, and there was just too much mayo mixed in. I'm genuinely curious if I ordered all the wrong items, because other folks seem to really enjoy food from Hirano Store. Based off of my single experience today, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit Hirano Store again.

We got the fried chicken drumettes with Korean dipping sauce and the kalbi plate; both were absolutely great. Chicken was crispy and moist, the kalbi was well marinated. If you're getting the tossed salad option, get the poppy seed dressing, trust me. Oh and upgrade to fried rice! The Mac salad was alright, but beware huge chunks of potato.
