The warehouse is located in Waipahu and they now have six locations under "Wholesale Unlimited Express" throughout Oahu. This location in Honolulu is in a small plaza with a small amount of parking. Although the shop is small, they have a variety of Hawaii snacks including many with li hing powder. There were even a lot of snacks here that I found in Japan which was amazing to see so I grabbed a lot of those. Comparing these prices to other stores around the island, we found that Wholesale Unlimited was the best bang for our buck. The worker (I never got her name) was so friendly! We were chatting about some of her favorite snacks and we got to sample some as well.

The staff are friendly and the store is organized. The lines here tend to be shorter than Iwilei. The hard part about Costco is the inventory varies by warehouse. I've seen some things at Iwilei that are sold out at Hawaii Kai (and vice versa). It feels like you have to go every month to scope out the new merch. I've found luggage and a 2-pack of Kohler trash cans before. The quality of the merch is excellent and if you need to go back, the warehouse can do a price match if the item goes on sale within 30 days of purchase.

There's everything from items to make coffee/tea drinks and boba teas, to fancy frozen seafood, to bulk cheeses, beans, vegetables, and more. It's usually very quiet when I'm there and there's lots of space to wander through the aisles. If I'm looking for a slightly more unusual item, I usually give ChefZone a try as they have all sorts of interesting things. Parking is free and there are usually several open spaces. You have to sign up for an Ohana Card to purchase but it's free and simple to get once you enter.

The…read moreroad work is in its final stages, but you still have to approach the driveway heading Ewa along Dillingham. Today they were featuring products from Okinawa.

The fresh meats and seafoods are replenished daily always fresh. Sales associates and cashiers are always helpful and friendly.

Really have to hold myself back as I could subsist on Japanese snacks alone lol. Love that freshly milled rice is available here, amongst the myriad of bagged rice choices. Hot and cold food available here, along with poke bar and food items of regional fairs regularly held here. Getting here may pose a challenge with lane closures due to rail construction. Once you get here, finding parking is usually not an issue (save special holidays). Perhaps tonight I will be dreaming of having a shopping spree at Marukai where I get to consume what I wish to my hearts delight!

Prices are fair and service is good, only one guy. They cater to Japanese hālau and admit they tend to sell colors that the Japanese favor.

This is an interesting store that has takeout containers, disposable utensils, dressings, jams, canned corned beef, salsa, cleaning products, etc. I paid attention to the "Hot Sale" signs for the best prices and great deals. I found sleeves of cups that my mom likes to use to serve certain desserts. It's challenging to find these disposable cups! I had looked everywhere for them! Now, I find them for $3 ... wow! I think I need to return! I saw packs of plastic spoons for $2. Maybe I should get them for the next family party... Tip: use cash to avoid the 2.5% credit card fee. Also: They asked for a name for the sale... for their records

The need to support local for various packing items KYD, Inc is an awesome place that does provide materials not just to the retail industry but for the general public as well. Nadine C suggested to check this place out which I'm so happy I did though the location is in the Lagoon Drive area which we all know the parking situation is tough though they do have a few stalls right in front of the biz many do drive by and double park behind you so if you find a street parking it's totally suggested the best way to avoid getting blocked. The door is to the left of the building and is actually the Will Call area though they do have a lot of shelves to display their inventory which does include cleaning chemicals, food containers, gloves and many items that you just don't see like foam trays. Their clearance section items starts from $0.50 with sale items from $1 finding items for your event doesn't have to be pricey. Thank you!

Some newer items like old school style maki rolls...not the overly sauced and smothered in crunchy distractions like deep fried scallions or crunchy garlic...but the type of rolls I grew up with. With these sushi rolls comes a couple packages of Japanese wasabi that actually real wasabi root in it. That really took me by surprise. Also included are Yamasa shoyu packs as well as some small packs of ginger also from Japan. The rolls are cut into 8 pieces and run $13 ish. A great deal. The other new-ish thing they have is a pack of marbled blue and monterey cheese slices. It looked super interesting so I picked one up...that sh*t is delicious. I'm gonna have to pick up more and put it in the freezer since like most things at Costco, it will inevitably disappear from the shelves. And speaking of things that disappear never to be seen again is the garlic spread Toom. That was super garlic forward with a hint of lemon juice. It was sold as a dip but I used it in so many sauces. I'm sad to see it missing from the shelves.

But really, we all love this place despite this, and the workers are super efficient about trying to get us out as fast as possible which is really nice. Their poke has new items now which is really cool. Salmon mango ceviche sounds awesome and not sure how au poke tastes but would love to try them in the future. Finally got to try their Hazelnut beignets and they were fun sized, delicious to boot. I come here almost weekly and probably will continue to do so in the future. The only thing to add is that there never seems to be enough parking but not sure what they can do to add more.
