Spicy Ahi Pokebowl. $5.89 what a steal in Waikiki! Sushi rice with furikake on top. And pickled ginger.
Michelle R.

I love this specific ABC Store!!! The staff are always friendly :) warm greetings, offering shopping baskets (cause yenno, I be always grabbing way more than what I intended to buy when I first entered, LOL), and GREAT customer service :D They work very hard and are great at their jobs. Y'ALL NEED RAISES YO! Who's I gotta tell for y'all to get them? ;) Whenever we stay at the Marriott Resort and Spa (which is a lot, shhhhhh), this ABC location is perfect! SO THE CONVENIENTS! It's on the Kealohilani tower side of the hotel, along Kalakaua Ave. It's jam packed with awesome things. Food (hot, cold, poke bowls, musubis, snacks, candy, drinks, alcohols galore, ice cream), touristy souvenir items (gifts to bring back home: shirts, mugs, calendars, bags, slippers, shot glasses, magnets, bottle openers, pineapple cake, macadamia nut), convenience items (toothbrush, bandaids, medicine, makeup), beach stuff (floaties, towels, mats, bags, dresses, sunscreen, coconut water) and just sooo much things! LOVE THAT *heart emojis* They also offer gifts after making enough purchases starting at $100 and more. I got a cute sturdy reusable shopping bag to put things in from that. Some items might be a bit pricier, but yenno, cause Waikiki brah. The store hours are long and definitely come in clutch for those late night runs to fetch alcohol, gatorade, water, or food! Spotlight on the spicy ahi poke bowls here. I will say it is definitely better than a place dedicated to poke bowls along Kuhio Ave. These spicy ahi poke bowls fill my heart with so much love (UWU). Delicious! Affordable! And, and... my stomach is fine after eating them! No stomach problems (ahem, yenno "da kine") after eating them (unlike some other expensive sushi place I got a whole darn sushi platter from on NYE 2022 *EYEROLL*) If you folks are in Waikiki & hungry or want to try spicy ahi poke, this is the place brah.

100s of visits to ABC Stores and I never wrote a review. What? It's time! Yes, some things are more expensive but you can not put a price in convenience. before I get to the details if what they carry, let me tell you the best item they carry: 1.5 liter bottles of iced cold water for just $1.19. That, my friends, is a bargain! Most places charge a buck for 16.8 ounces. Over the 10 days, I'm drinking at least 15 of these! No need to stock my condo as I can pick one up in the way to and from the beach. Now to the details. ABC stores are one stop shopping and located on every block. They are clean, well stocked and the AC is cranking! For all of your beach days stop here for cold beverages, snacks, sandwiches, hats, beach towels, sunscreen and lip balm. No need to pack a cooler, just walk across the street! Sushi, shrimp cocktail, delicious cold salads, wraps, sandwiches, spam masubi, noodles, cut up fruit, whole fruit, ice cream - it's there. Chips, cookies, pretzels, popcorn, crackers, cheese. Everything. Plus you can buy wine, beer, and alcohol here in all size bottles. They have all the Hawaiian gift items and they are priced the same, if not better, than at the fancier stores. Macadamia nuts, Hawaiian chocolate covered macadamia nut clusters, key chains, magnets, wooden bowls and trays, sea turtle and hula dancer everything. Tote bags, zippered pouches, cross body bags and fanny packs. And clothing, too! T-shirts, sweatshirts, Hawaiian print dresses and shirts. Hawaiian print bags and beach towels. Usually I buy the water, salads and snacks but in this visit to Oahu, I picked up two square wooden trays made from Monkey wood with a plumeria stamped in the middle to use as charcuterie boards. Picked up wooden bowls in several sizes for olives and nuts. Can not wait to use them! Now, I wouldn't do a stock up my condo for the week thing here. That is for Target or Costco (cheaper than Safeway) but for the on the go items, absolutely.

Musubi etc heated section

Nice stores, friendly staff, prices mostly seem reasonable (get macadamia chocolates at the swap meet instead if you're going there). I enjoyed a number of musubi varieties here. Everyone told me to get 7-11 musubi, but I found ABC's to be better. Yummy and cheap sushi roll options as well. Great place to start the day.

In Waikiki, there are ABC stores on nearly every block. While they vary in square footage and offerings, you'll find the same basic conveniences in each one. BRIEF HISTORY: The first store, originally called "Mr. K", opened in 1964 in Waikiki by Oahu resident Sidney Kosasa. The business's name later changed to "ABC" in order to promote ease and familiarity. Today, the brand has expanded to include specialties like the Duke's Lane food hall in Waikiki, and Island Gourmet Markets. The majority of ABC's are in Hawaii but are also found in Las Vegas, the Mariana Islands, Guam and Saipan. THE STORE: This location was closest to where we were staying (Waikiki Beach Marriott) along busy Kalakaua Avenue. It's a good-sized store, clean and stocked the usual conveniences you'd expect from a sundry shop. The sandwiches and musubi are of a higher quality than most. I grabbed some snacks, drinks and adult beverages at very competitive prices. What's not to love about that? SERVICE: I can say that this is the only company I know of that consistently has excellent customer service at each location. The cashiers always greet and thank you, every time. Excellent training! OVERALL: Convenient offerings and locations with great service can only warrant a perfect five stars.

Glad to find this ABC located at the Hotel that we were staying very convinient , even though their is an ABC almost every other corner in Waikiki or shopping plaza. You can find lots of things here even your basic essentials. What do I like to shop for? Souvenirs , box chocolates to bring back to the mainland , ahhh need a last minute beach mat and souvenir towel they have it. From Shirts to jewelry , alcohol to spam musubi ..ABC store is where you will find it all. Keep your reciepts so you can turn it in for a gift after $100 purchase. Hawaii keychains , Hawaii Everything ! FUN items to bring home so check them out.

Just some of the bags we had gifts in.

I found everyone very friendly, my go to as we are staying at the Park Shore. We spent more time in there than anywhere else. The go to food was always fresh, the variety given was plentiful. Selection of clothes we bought for our little family was more than enough. I even found personal feminine hygiene products when a friend decided to pop in on our last day. I can't list everything we brought as there was about 6 or 7 reusable bags we recycled as gift bags for our children filled with things.

spam musubis for days

i LOVE ABC Stores since I first stepped into one on my trip to Maui many moons ago. It's the perfect Hawaiian one-stop shop when you're in a hurry. And the fact that there was one inside my hotel (Waikiki Beach Marriott), close to the tower I was staying in was an added bonus. Granted there is an ABC Store on every block along Kalakaua & Kuhio but I liked mine. Haha... I bought souvenirs, snacks, postcards, chocolate macadamia treats, my Hawaii water bottles for the room, beach towels to take home, spam musubis (different kine and they were warm) and most importantly my ABC Stores logo t-shirt. I collect them and have every color. I found one that I've never seen before so I was super stoked on it. It just goes to show that the ABC Store inside Waikiki Beach Marriott aka my ABC Store was hands down the best... No Ka Oi. They literally have everything you could possibly need... Even an emergency carry-on luggage to store all the stuff you bought from ABC. Staff was always cheery and willing to help you find what you need.... Cheee!!!

Morning!!!!

I love me the ABC stores. It's convenient and they have everything you need. It does suck that they all vary from store to store. This one was convenient because we would park the car at banyan Aston and walk to Aston hotel Waikiki. Beats paying the $50 parking at our hotel! This ABC is open late so we never had any problems. The cashiers were always nice. This is one of their smaller stores on the island with less selection.

Spam Musubi
Sherilyn C.

ABC STORES: these stores are available everywhere! It's worth mentioning that you can get a quick grab of tasty spam musubi for under $3 at this convenience store. Flavored with unagi sauce and furikake seasoning (seaweed flakes and sesame seeds) with layers of steamed rice , eggs, & spam enveloped in nori wrap.

Breakfast from the ABC store to go! Warm eggs with sausage, banana, guava nectar, water and coffee. Very easy.

Scored a 2 pc crochet robe/pant set to wear with bathing suit underneath for under $40 , peek a boo dress for $10 with that purchase scored a $10 coupon - went to ala moana and scored a $7 maxi strap dress with using the $10 coupon. They also had $4.96 INC earrings sale stash in the jewelry section. You can still get coupons even without a Macys CC all you need is a phone number. Five stars for the deals here but not so much of the categories they have inside the store.

As I politely asked the gentleman in the back cash register counter for the code, he waved his hand at me and said "I'm with a customer right now." I stood there and waited thinking that he would give me the code and go quickly back to the other customer, but he decided to make me wait, and wait, and wait. After standing there 2 feet away from him for 2 minutes, without even looking again in my direction, I gave up. The choice to ignore someone is beyond just rude... it's a personal choice to insult someone. Time to do a full reset on your customer service Macy's Waikiki!!

Located on Waikiki next to the ABC store…read more This is one of the best ross stores i have been in travel wise! Clean bathrooms and designer shades on deck! They also sell many hawaii based souvenirs here. I have bought many items throughout my stay here in hawaii and my favorite purchases were the flower earrings which is form of plumerias for $6.99! Price wise some items I have scored for really cheap - cheaper than swap meet prices. Examples are clothing on the clearance rack. Scored items as low as $4.99! Customer service here is decent. They are helpful with assistance if needed. So the items you will find here "Hawaiian" based - are keychains, deck of cards, boxed christmas cards, boxed cards, hawaiian attire sets for man/woman/child, bathing suits, pareos (swim wraps), hawaiian dresses, hawaiian male shirts, tote bags, lunch boxes, luggage tags and straps, neck pillows, quilt sets / blankets, ornaments, snacks, hawaiian car solar boppers (ex: hawaiian hula girl), puzzles, 3d lego like small toys, stuffies / plushies, jewelry (wood, earrings, bracelets, necklaces) , mugs, luggages were the items I saw while my stay. This is a 2 story store the restrooms are upstairs - which is btw clean. The dressing dept staff stated that the store manager checks on the restrooms every hour for cleanliness. They charge for bags here when you purchase items - be mindful. So make sure you bring your reusable bags or you will be charged for bags. Hawaii now charges bags in most stores when you purchase items.

Joyce, you're in Hawaii. Why are you at a Target?…read more I needed cheap water, okay? The first night after my flight, I bought water for $6. Here at Target? It was $2. Leave me alone! Is this Target in the World's Largest Outdoor Mall? Yes! It's kind of odd but it serves its purpose. I got some Hawaiian Islands Tea for a friend here who had requested it as a souvenir that I wasn't able to find at ABC Stores so it was perfect. I forgot that Hawaii has a strict statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at checkout. Most retailers do not provide bags, or they charge for reusable/paper bags. At Target, you can buy a cool bag that says "Mahalo." "Life is short ― buy the bag."

Their selection of supermarket items is impressive and the store itself is convenient as a one-stop shop for other things such as toiletries, kitchen supplies, pharmaceutical items, and much more. The aisles are wide so as not to disturb other shoppers and vice versa. It is clean and the store has two levels. I park near the online pick up parking area and am able to wheel my shopping cart right up to my vehicle. I have never experienced anything but courtesy from their staff at checkout which is a breath of fresh air compared to other supermarkets such as Whole Foods and Safeway. Their prices are competitive/reasonable as well.
