    Definitely one of the larger ABC stores I've been to, this is located right off of Kalakaua - Their selection seems pretty plentiful, ranging from gift items, keychains, snacks, food-to-go, a beverage selection, apparel, etc. There were also some sale items, too. The aisles are a little narrow, considering the overflow of food traffic here from the hub bub of DT Waikiki. Definitely a fun place to peruse as well as pick up some basics. +large selection +huge foot traffic

    Chill ABC mart with a good arrangement of sunscreens, Hello Kitty Accessories, floss, deodorant and so on. Store associates were nice too.

    I'm a huge fan of the ABC store chain. Whenever I'm in Hawaii, I always make it a point to stop at ABC. This particular location is one of my faves because it's conveniently located inside of International Marketplace. They've got everything that you need in this little store. Did you forget your toiletries? They've got that. Need some souvenirs to take back home with you? They've got it. How about some snacks or grab and go food?! Yep, they've got that too. I needed to purchase some sunscreen and a few boxes of those lovable chocolate covered macadamias for friends back home. Found both of those items and of course stocked up on some other things too. They've got the best and most creative souvenirs here! If you're not prepared for the beach, they've also got tons of flip flops, beach towels, and bathing suits. They've also got a pretty decent wine and alcohol section in here too. I love that they validate parking tickets if you're parked in the International Marketplace garage. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. If you're in need of souvenirs, toiletries, or other essential items, this ABC store has got everyone that you need.

    For the tourist, ABC Stores are a life line in the ocean of dining out. To me there seems to be a store on every block in the tourist section of Waikiki. It is also one of those variety of stores whose inventory is "if they don't have it, you don't need it". Overall, we bought meals there, hot and cold, we bought alcohol (to enjoy in our hotel room overlooking the night lights), we bought pharmaceuticals (OTC) and we bought a few articles of clothing that we left at home. Considering we were captive tourists, the prices weren't too bad. You can see from the pics some of the various foods items we purchased. Dining out on vacation can be extremely expensive and it was nice to just stay in, even once in a while. ABC offers an affordable option for doing so. The foods items were fresh. The quality was average or above. I liked the variety to choose from. In the back of the larger stores, they have a hot food area. These meals were generally good and the service was quick (make sure to ask for utensils - it's not always voluntarily provided). The stores were quick in and out, even in the evenings when they were more crowded.

    A must on every trip to the islands!

    It's your classic "convenience store meets souvenir shop then has little ABC Store babies" story. I love, love, love these ABC Stores. They make my heart happy every time I see one, which is fortunate for my heart since you see multiple stores per block. This ABC Store is located at the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort. The structure of the store is narrow taking you almost through an alleyway from Kalakaua Ave to the interior courtyard of the resort. It's more of a mini express, but gets the job done if you're staying at the resort. For a wider selection, visit any of the many other stores located within a block. Save your receipts if you're interested in receiving a free gift for spending $100 during your stay. Pro tip: If you're aspiring for a golden brown tan, look for Maui Babe. It's a must get for me during every single visit to the islands!

    Yelp removed my original post. All the things people say on their site and you want to remove mine which is straight forward and TRUE. Basically people of color watch out for this ABC store the managers will look at u crazy. Lady didn't want to give me a new water that one of the ABC store employees cut the bottom when opening the box it came in. And I had a receipt and she still didn't want to give me a new water. A 1.99 its way over priced anyways. Be careful people and keep your receipts until you leave the island and get home. Tried to take my ALOHA spirit. Clearly the manager here needs to get the ALOHA spirit. Thanks for taking my first review YELP. Ps. Don't go to this one next to the Tesla store. There are dam near 20 ABC stores within a half mile air radius. O yea. The blue Hawaiian drink they got is gooood.

    San Miguel , taste much fresher in cans than bottles.

    There are over 30 ABC Stores throughout Waikiki. Very convenient and practically everything you would need. I always enjoy browsing through the stores checking their product availability. Beer and Snack items are what I normally wind up buying and Ahi Poke ( if it looks fresh ) What's amazing is all the ABC Stores are busy. With so much tourist , there's always a flow of customers *** Save your receipts to get your free gift ***

    Chocolate covered macadamia nuts, even available in multiples!

    There is quite literally an ABC store on almost every block! It's great because they have items that a 7-Eleven convenience store would carry (toiletries, snacks, beverages, etc) as well as souvenirs that you might want to take home (T-shirts, keychains, shot glasses, magnets, etc) all very conveniently located all over Honolulu.

    My girlfriend and I were in Waikiki for the last week. We visited a few of the ABC stores while we were there. On the last day of our trip, we went in to this location to buy our souvenirs for the trip. It was one of the largest ABC locations we saw. I grabbed a basket and we started to shop around. As we started to add items to the basket, we started to realize one of the employees following us around. It was not obvious at first but then she kept pointing things out that we were looking at. There were tons of people in the store but she always found it a way to be around us and input her opinion. By the end, it started to get really uncomfortable and clear that she pushed herself on our shopping experience like that. Few things to mention: We did not walk in with oversized bags, backpacks or purses. My girlfriend was the only after an American person in the store. The employee who was on the floor the entire time, also decided to help the cashier check us out (where she was never at the entire time we were in the store nor did for other customers). With Waikiki being such a melting pot of travelers and such a tourist destination, it was disappointing to see these actions in your store location and more disappointing to see how it affected who I was with. It was very clear why we out of all the people in the store were being followed. When it became blatantly obvious that this was happening we should have taken our business elsewhere and we should have spoken up. I hope you realize how you can easily change an experience for people with your employees actions.

It's a place where you can be yourself. I've come to value Pioneer Pantry for what it is. They've been here for 20 years and I'm just noticing for a month or so now in June 2026. I recently relocated jobs and now work in the downtown Honolulu area. After discovering Pioneer Pantry, I feel like its been a good thing to have when you're running late and didn't have breakfast. Its nice to come here and score some breakfast muffins or those bag of chips, or even cold drinks to have during drab office hours during the day. Pioneer Pantry functions like a 7-Eleven with an actual live kitchen in the back. Pioneer Pantry is a small functioning convenience store that carries most things that many people enjoy on a daily basis. On most mornings, I would enter the store running late to the office and stumble through here. I would pick up a couple of items and a cold drink and be on my way. I wasn't sure if the fountain drink machine was operational or not, so I just grabbed a cold bottle from one of their refrigerators. The prices here can be a bit more than other places, but I was in a rush - most days anyway. The overall experience here at the Pioneer Pantry is good and blessed that they are here. It's nice to have them here for those of us who are rushing to work and have this oasis on the way there for breakfast and other necessities. During the early morning though, they are open along with the Wiki Wiki Drive Inn before 8am. During the lunch hours, they are open along with the other restaurants in the Pioneer Plaza food court fully open for business. The ladies in the back of the store are very friendly and are awesome. Small business owners are amazing for sure. I try to stop by every day here to pick up something for breakfast. Knowing my schedule, I tend to sleep in and rush to work anyway and having Pioneer Pantry here to help is a big boost for me. Majority of my experiences here are happy ones and don't intend on changing. For the most part though, it's always nice to have this place here. While people have their Starbucks or McDonald's in the morning, I rely on Pioneer Pantry for my cold morning beverage of choice, which incidentally includes a cold soda with or without ice. Most people love hot or iced coffee to start their day. I prefer cold soda. Not healthy, but its my thing and it's pretty good. The Pioneer Pantry is located inside Pioneer Plaza building on the 1st floor food court. It's physically located at 900 Fort Street Mall in downtown Honolulu. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. It's next to the taco place and the Subway restaurant. As far as parking is concerned, best bet would be either street parking or paid parking garages nearby. If you are like me, public transportation is good and there's a bunch of bus routes that traverse thru the downtown corridor. Pick the ones that stop off at either Bishop Street or Fort Street Mall and walk on over. And of course, there's always Uber and Lyft and even Tauro, if you need their services. For now though, if you work or pass thru downtown Honolulu and don't like what the others are offering you, consider Pioneer Pantry at the Pioneer Plaza building. It's a nice trip here to grab something on the way to work every morning. Or a quick snack for lunch too. Its definitely a lifesaver when you're running late and you can support local businesses too. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

She is so personable and a joy to speak with. She offers inexpensive breakfast bentos featuring white or fried rice, a fried egg and pieces of Portuguese sausage, bacon or frankfurter. The meat varies. It used to sell for $3 but now costs $4.50 (I think). It's still a deal and the containers are great! (We use them to hold leftovers.) During lunch she sets up an array of entrees ... Honey Walnut shrimp, Beef with Vegetables, Meat Jun, Spicy Chicken, Choi Sum, Vegetable Pancake ... the selection varies by day and she offers two or three starches. A two-choice plate ($9.75) comes with a choice of white rice, fried rice or noodles. You have to go early; she can run out of food by 12:30pm. I usually choose one chicken dish and a vegetable with fried rice or noodles. A co-worker always gets the Honey-Walnut shrimp. It's hard to find a better deal in a plate lunch in downtown Honolulu. Her drinks are "the deal", $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75, for large, larger and humongous. Add in the personable service and you have a winner! Hey, stay away, we don't want any more competition for her food. Highly recommended!

Located at Kukui Plaza tucked away in the back, you will have to walk pass few shops, to see the handwritten sign of " Best Musubi in Hawaii" posted on the door. Although there are bentos available & other goodies, I am mostly here for the delicious musubi. Why so good? My opinion, lets start with spam, perfectly cooked, with secret sauce, love the umami taste while I took my first bite, and the rice is hot & moist, not watery & not premium rice but it is still good, along with the nori. I loved everything about this musubi. Great spam to rice ratio. The only thing that I need is some of my chili spices! Mom & Pop is super friendly, I remember asking how many musubi's they sell a day and owner mentioned they make and sell over 100 a day. I usually park quick at the loading zone of Kukui Plaza, let the security know and walk over real quick to load up on my musubi(s). Don't forget cash only! Recommend, check it out and get your musubi fix or a quick and convenient lunch!

    I've been going to this Longs for years, and I honestly don't know what happened to it, but the…read morecurrent experience is hard to ignore. Every time I walk inside, there's a strong, unpleasant odor that smells like sewage or fecal matter. It's consistent enough that it doesn't feel like a one-off issue--it's something you notice immediately when you enter the store. At times it seems stronger in certain areas, which makes me wonder if it's coming from plumbing, floor drains, or possibly even outside air getting pulled in. What's frustrating is that this location used to feel like one of the better-run stores on the island. Now, the overall impression is very different. Even if the shelves are stocked and the staff is doing their job, the environment itself really affects the experience of shopping there. What stands out is the comparison with nearby stores like Safeway, which don't seem to have the same issue, even though they serve the same general area. That contrast makes the problem at this location even more noticeable. I hope management takes a serious look at it, because this doesn't feel like a minor cleanliness issue--it feels like an infrastructure or maintenance problem that's been left unresolved for too long. It's a shame, because the store has a lot of potential and used to be a go-to spot.

    It's about time I do an update if this Longs Drugs as this location is near my home. I've avoided…read morethis location for multiple reasons. But the main reason was a previous bad experience that left a bitter taste in my mouth. Earlier in the day I went to the doctor's office for some relief to a cold that I've been battling for about 10 days now. OTC remedies were not doing the trick and I was miserable staying at home not wanting to pass my germs to my colleagues. When asked where I wanted to pick up my medications, I usually go to the one in Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center as I'm in Kaneohe a lot for my part time job. But because I wanted to take the medication immediately and for convenience I selected this store next to Pali Hwy. After my doctor's appointment I made a few errands and just after picking up some lunch I received a text advising my two prescriptions were ready for pick up. I originally had planned on going before my 340pm dentist's appointment that's in the See Dai Doo Building. Howeve, I was desperate for relief so I drove here. To my delight the parking lot was not that congested at 1130am. I immediately found an empty parking stall near the entrance. I made a beeline to their pharmacy where there were about 5 people queuing. All 5 were senior citizens and regardless they all had questions to ask the pharmacy staff, the line moved quickly. When it came to my turn my transaction was quick. Replied to the staff's question by providing my DOB and name, she confirmed my 2 prescriptions. I paid for them and then returned to my car. So why only 4-stars? I'm sure you have noticed the undesirable foot traffic of homeless and the mentally unstable in this area. I have witnessed them many times in the past and today was no different. There was a female who was laying down on the pavement and yelling out loud. So sad to witness such incidents in broad daylight. Overall, this Longs Drugs is clean, bright and well organized with its products and displays. I also appreciate the coupons you receive as there are considerable savings that encourages you for repeat visits within the time frame. I hope the management or landlord of this area can clean up the area so that consumers feel safe to shop at either Long's Drugs or Safeway.
