We were very impressed with the Poke and hot food offerings, all of it looked so good but my wife settled on the fish bento box. She said it was the best fish she's had in our entire trip and her only regret was she didn't get two! I was a fan of the cool wall mural as well, 10/10 would recommend.

The beer menu changes so this time no stout beers, the darkest was modelo negro, several local breweries. And one sour. But you can take draft beer home. Poke selection is nice at the deli section, the hot foods and sushi is very tasty. The baked good are definitely worth it. Ube cake!!! The salt and vinegar chicharon for $10 is amazing.

We were out in the community and came across Kīlauea General Store, and it ended up being way more…read morethan just a quick stop. 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. Left with supplies, but more importantly, left with purpose and a deeper respect for the people holding it all together.

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.

The wait time is a little long and there were only 3 folding chairs for available seating, but honestly well worth the wait.

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.
