Love this place especially because it's a 1 minute walk from my apartment. I feel like the food is super reasonably priced for the island. Some stuff is pricier given how much it costs to import but that's expected and I find that their "pricier" items are still cheaper than how much that item would be sold for elsewhere. And if you don't want to spend the money, they'll usually have a variety for some of the stuff so you can buy a cheaper brand of the same product. They've got some grab and go sushi, pizza rolls, cheese, and meats at the front and the staff is friendly too. Usually have guards at the front because of all the homeless but if you live in this area you will likely welcome that. Great little local spot and glad to be so close to it. read more

Great place and best prices in Waikiki. Not cheap but best in Waikiki so good enough if you live close and need something fast. Beer/liquor selection and prices reasonable and cheaper than Safeway for some items. read more

Great place to buy whole or half rotisserie chicken along with multiple side dishes, and yummy deserts! The market is clean, with superb staff to assist with locating specific products. I also liked that there was seating around the corner to eat outside. read more

The employees are always very welcoming and the location is well kept and stocked with items . Prices are decent for that location . Definitely a place I recommend and will visit again . read more

This place was recommended to us by my cousin, who has a condo nearby there. It was a perfect little spot to grab healthy snacks & groceries during our trip read more

Decent local spot to get your groceries in Waikiki if you're staying for a little while and don't have access to a car (Target, Foodland, Walmart, etc. are literally just across the canal in Ala Moana, but it's just far enough to be a headache on foot if you've got more than a couple bags). Prices are $$$, but you can't beat the convenience. It's got a surprisingly decent selection of goods, too! They've got everything from a bakery, produce, and meat section, along with the usual pantry items and even souvenirs. There was plenty for me to pick from to make daily meals in our apartment. Their poke is fresh and well-priced too for an easy lunch! read more

Convenient and good stuff. Staff very polite and helpful. Will be back soon. Made from scratch pork rinds read more

Food land is probably my favorite grocery store, so food pantry (which is part of the Sullivan group) should be similar right? Well, they don't use the makai card, so I can't rack up rewards for free turkeys during thanksgiving.... I can get a quick carton of milk though, since food pantry is pretty much the only grocery store in Waikiki. It's also always packed with tourists. But you can get everything from alcohol to dairy, paper goods to bags of candy, bread, condiments, fruit, seafood and meat. They even have a little prepared food section with roast chicken and musubi and cold foods like salads and sandwiches. It pretty much looks like a foodland. At the entrance, you can even get a coffee or lychee tea (my favorite!!) from coffee bean. They also have the OG hi steaks (the second location is in the new foodland farms). It's not the most amazing grocery store, but it satisfies my needs when I don't plan well enough to get groceries before coming into Waikiki. Haha. read more

Great grocery store with friendly service. Everything we needed included fresh local produce and sushi.

How did I miss a review for Food Pantry!?! It's down the street from The Modern and a step above the ABC Mini Mart. Lot's of fresh fruit and well conceived carryout food. It's not a busy as the store on Kuhio Avenue, perhaps because the Steak Shack is there. Mainland folks are surprised by the prices, but that's to be expected in Honolulu. Even locals comment about the cost of living! The staff have the "Aloha Spirit" and are always so kind and helpful! read more

Products are plentiful, staff friendly, store clean but very short on cashiers. At 2:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon, a crowded store had over a dozen customers in line for 1 cashier and the manager in his office. Let the manager know about the line; he said to be patient, cashiers were on break and he was busy. Ridiculous! read more

Is it the most expensive grocery store you will ever visit? Yes, by a lot. But is there better option in the densly-populated NW corner of Waikiki? Not even close. I like the small neighborhood feel of Food Pantry, but simultaneously the high prices cause me only to shop here when I forgot to stop at a cheaper store on the way home from work. Most of the time the employees are friendly and super helpful. The store size may not be as big as our huge Safeways or Times -- but EVERY TIME I've found the products and ingredients I was searching for... even when I was looking for the more niche stuff. I'm always amazed at the selection of products they've managed to fit into what seems like kind of a small grocery store. So.. it's expensive but incredibly reliable and convenient. read more

During my stay in Honolulu, I came here multiple times for meals and coffee. Very convenient and catered for locals. They open even before the sun comes up! I was saved by their early coffee a few times! read more

Food Pantry is the only full line super market in Waikiki. Sure, ABC has more stores and but, they're not a full line store. Everything you would find at a super market, you will find here . Food Pantry caters to tourists as well as locals. I like their selection of beer and prepared hot foods. There is also several food vendors in the store. *** Beware of the Pigeons flying in at the front door *** read more

Been going here for years with my service dog. I've seen the same employees for years. Tonight a new security guard from Allied was working and asked me the same question I have heard a million times, is he a service dog which I'm always polite and say yes and that the employees all knew me. Then he pops off with the question"are you sure" in a very rude and condescending tone. Needless to say the security guard escalated this issue to the point I thought I was in danger and as I tried to leave he asked me if I wanted "to throw hands mother fucker". When I called the store the manager didn't know his name or what company he worked for which I find hard to believe I walked away. Be careful this security guard is very dangerous read more

I gave these guys an honest bad review years ago. Just decided to get a whole roasted chicken there now. The employees there are still mediocre at best and rude. But their items aren't too bad. read more

We are staying in east Waikiki but the 25 minute walk to The Food Pantry is very worthwhile for our grocery needs. If you are fussy about the quality of your fresh food (meat, fish, fruit and vegetables) I would highly recommend this store. They have a great selection of many grocery lines, including beers, wines and spirits. Eggs, milk and dairy are also of good quality and freshness. Lots of preprepared foods and bakery items if that's your thing. Also, they happily accept Apple PAY. Bring your own bags and cut down on paper/plastic. read more

Touristy, overpriced, small, but convenient with a nice selection of fresh foods, I can really only recommend this grocery store for tourists or people that just need to pick up a few things. Located on Hobron Avenue, one of my favorite streets in Waikiki, the store is in the basement of a once bustling outdoor mall. It is easy to find and quick to walk to from the hotels on the west side of Waikiki. The store is very cramped with low ceilings and close aisles. Every time I go in I find it hard to walk if anyone else is in the store. There is a fresh bakery at the door that always smells nice, everything looks great. They offer a large selection of wine, beers, and other alcohols. The processed food items are geared mainly toward tourists with access to only a microwave or hotplate. They do have vegetables, meats, and other fresh items. The store is clean and well organized for the space it occupies. For obvious reasons, all items are over priced, some worse than others. For locals I recommend going elsewhere as many grocery stores are just a few blocks outside of Waikiki. For tourists in need of a simple and convenient place to get food without any fuss, this is your place. read more

Yes, it can be pricey, but it's convenient! The employees here are so friendly and patient. They have to deal with some interesting customers, and they do it well. We live in the neighborhood and they always remember us. They're pretty great. Best deal in here is 2 jugs of Crystal Geyser water for $5 ($4 every once in a while). ABC up the street sells them for $10 each. I always buy fresh flower leis here when we have visitors, and they have amazing prices on wine ($34 for The Prisoner, anyone?) Thanks for being there, Food Pantry! read more

We love the SUSHI here. It's fresh and so good! Highly recommended. Concerned that it was closed today, Saturday, Jan 8, 2022. Hope that was just temporary! Please reopen tomorrow. Thanks! read more

What isn't over priced in Waikiki? I mean seriously, it's all about convenience and catering to the tourists, so on my "tourist" day out I was wandering around the neighborhood and came upon this place. I wasn't expecting it be there but I can see that it's almost like a hidden little "Diamond-Head" in the rough for tourists or for the locals who just need that "one" thing and don't feel like boppin' over to Safeway or Wally-World. While the outside of the whole building is deceiving, don't let that stop you. It's on the ground floor of a 2 story building so a few steps down and you're suddenly in a mini-mart grocery store! It's quite entertaining. The inside is much longer and larger than I expected. Hot food station, produce and even organic stuff too, sweets/baked goods, beer/wine, gift/leis, household stuff and a little bit of every non perishable item you might need in a pinch. I think it's worth a stop for those who are enjoying their lovely vacations and...uh, don't have wheels to get around or maybe for those who do have wheels but don't feel like firing them up for when that Oreo cookie and milk craving strike at 10pm at night. Just go before 1130pm! read more

It's a large supermarket with small little restaurants/ bakeries on the side. Service: The cashier could of been friendlier and at least smile and say hello, but nope. Well at least he did his job quickly and efficiently. Products: They have a range of products which was nice. I mostly scavenge their ready- food section and it was pretty good. They had bento boxes and other rice bowls. Their chicken misubi was pretty food. Overall: I would recommend coming here instead of the ABC stores for groceries. read more

I stayed at the Illaki hotel and this store is just a short walk away. It was the closest full service grocery store nearby. Similar to other people's reviews some of the food was overpriced, however, when there is a sale, the prices are pretty good. For example, I was on the hunt to buy a 8-pack of Macadamia nuts that I wanted to bring home to the mainland. Everywhere I went, the plain macadamia nuts were either sold out or overpriced. I was able to buy it here for $10 cheaper than other places. The fruit and produce is fresh and the store itself is very clean. If you are staying on Ala Moana close the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Illaki or The Edition, I would recommend this place to pick up a few things. Lastly, if you are staying for the week, they have a Blockbuster express kiosk to rent movies from. :) read more

I think this market is just right. Not too big, and a very good selection available. You might pay a bit more for some items , but it beats a bus tide to Safeway up on Kapalulu. We have been shopping here for years. This whole complex will be torn down by March 31 2019 They are building a condo tower and new food floor. It is supposed to take 2 years. There are lots of other markets around. It sure is Changi g all the time here in Waikiki read more

Everyone is so friendly in the store except Francesca. Avoid interaction with her if you can.

Expensive but convenient little market in the Eaton square area of Waikiki. Owned by Foodland they have a friendly staff, and all the small essentials you might need without leaving Waikiki. I wouldn't use it as my primary grocery store unless you're willing to pay for the 'conveneice fee'. Make sure to call ahead if it's at night because they do close early in which case your other walking options would be ABC store or 7-Eleven. read more

Didn't realize until recently that there was a second Food Pantry location in Waikiki. So I finally checked out this location during my Fall 2014 visit and it's definitely smaller than the one on Kuhio Avenue and the aisles are much tighter. Prices are usually pretty steep, though here and there you'll find some good deals, but then again, what do you expect in Waikiki? read more

After staying in Waikiki many times over the past 15 years, can't believe we never found the Food Pantry before. I only ran across it while searching for nearby Redbox kiosks! What a great little supermarket...yeah, a bit expensive but I didn't find it to be excessively so. And for the convenience, gotta love it. We bought a 12-pack of Kirin Ichiban (cans) for $8.99, how great is that? read more

Very useful. Nice lil grocery store. BUT and FYI... Safeway is just as close. So is Walmart and Costco. Maybe this boutique style is more your speed. Though it's not really a famers market. Just local and that's cool. Pricey. Then again Hawaii is expensive in general so I guess its normal? Seemed pricey... Parking is a pain but free and meter available. read more

Decent little grocery store in Waikiki area. Prices really weren't that bad given the location. It's no Walmart or Target but close and good enough to the hotels that it's a nice place to get groceries for your stay. read more

This is the reason tourists say "Hawaii is expensive". Most tourists go to Waikiki and this is your closest grocery option. However, if you Google, there is a Wal-Mart and Target just west. If you're not fit enough to walk or will be carrying a lot, grab a Lyft or Uber or use the bus. It's close to the Ala Moana mall, so make a visit of it and plan to grab your food and Aloha swag after. If everybody stopped giving money to the Food Pantry, prices would come down. Supply and demand. read more

I traveled to Honolulu for a 10-day stay. I live on the mainland. This market had everything I needed for my entire vacation. Small to medium sized grocery store but they have a lot of options. The staff was friendly and helpful without being pretentious like some foo foo gourmet markets. Very hospitable folks. The prices are very standard for all of Hawaii since everything is shipped from the mainland. read more

Came here to pick up some groceries/supplies while on vacation and thought it would be cheaper because it seems to be more for locals. It's very expensive! I know everything is expensive in Waikiki, but this place is exceptionally expensive sand isn't anything special. Fruit is actually cheaper at the ABC down the street and the very bougie Foodland Farms at Ala Moana is actually cheaper across the board and overall a way better store! I would come here if you're really in a bind, but there are way better places nearby to stock up on vacation necessities. read more

I love our little super market. The ladies at the register are always amazing, greeting and friendly. Great variety of everything and no complaints. Thanks all read more

This is a great little grocery store. Worth finding. They have a very good deli. We bought fresh Sushi and Poke. They were delicious. It has everything you could want. Prices aren't too bad for a touristy area near Hilton Hawaiian Village. Definitely check it out. read more

This location is still open! The store on Kuhio is closed. Great little store! Deli has everything you will need. read more

It's cash-only for the vendors, but it's a great alternative if you just want to stop through and grab something. I went to the noodle spot and had the grilled mackerel, which was delicious! For 8.95 I got a good piece, that tasted fresh, with a heaping serving of rice. I was pleased. They also have a grocer if you need to pick up some things. I was disappointed in the water prices so save your money for that and go across the street to ABC Stores and get the Hawaiian water for 99 cents. There's a pho spot and coffee stand as well that smelled delicious. I picked up a to-go crab platter for 4.99 read more
