Hole in the wall convenience store with Big Breakfast for $6.59 in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I saw my friends (Ward, Dan, Fran, and Donna) post photos of yummy food, but maybe I waited too long to check out Hana Market. I parked in the free parking lot for McCully Buffet and walked around the corner to the store. I didn't see any bentos... I just ordered a Big Breakfast with 2 of the 4 meats. I chose bacon and Portuguese sausage. I guess the eggs just come over easy and on a bed of white rice. I also ordered a tofu spinach salad. When I got home, I put the spinach in a bowl and uncovered the tofu. I dipped a spinach leaf into the sauce, which was too spicy for me. I'll take it to my mom's house later. I didn't see any menu for this shop. I believe that the picture menu refers to Choi's Garden. The phone number is on the poster. Catering is available. The shop looks a bit cluttered and not very organized. Toothpaste is next to canned goods, for example. The door is left open for fresh air. The owner/cashier/cook is an older Asian woman. She is a hard worker and didn't get flustered when another customer came in. I told her she can take care of the other person first - since she was waiting while my meal was being prepped. However, she rang us both up efficiently!

When you enter this mini mart, there's a small kitchen on the right. You cant find any menu of what is sold here other than what is displayed on the window outside the store. Hidden somewhere near the utensils you will find printed menus that is labeled "Choi's family" which had previously been on King street and closed down. The owner is a petite older Asian lady who seems nice and does all the cooking. I ordered the famous Kal bi plate, its thick cut, was very tender and I would have wanted it a little more seasoned or marinated, but it was good. And expensive. Parking is located in the back and would recommend phone order.

I always knew of it to be the Pink Store throughout the years of coming here and visiting friends who live in the area. "Let's all make a drink run to the Pink Store!" Its the most convenient store and location for those who live in the upper valley like I do and who don't want to make the drive down to Kam Shopping center. It's a local pop up market where you can get last minute party supplies or even snacks. We usually come here for an alcohol run, drinks, and bags of ice if we're having gathering. You can pretty much find anything and everything here for essentials you may need. Prices do run more than your average supermarket stores but that's what you pay for the convenience of minimal driving or walking there if you live in the area. There lots of parking in the front and it doesn't get busy so people are in and out of there as soon as they get what they need. I'm always out of that place in less than 5 minutes.

Although, I do miss Doris. I use to live above the pink store. It was my very first apartment! They have a little bit of everything.

They took over the former Jolene's space. Now you can park in front of the store for a limited time period. I noticed there was an attendant jotting down license plate and time the first time I parked there, but didn't see him after that. This is definitely a one-stop shop! However, the prices are higher compared to other stores in Chinatown ranging from $1-$3. Gotta pay up for convenience! However, there's a small discount for cash payment. Kelly's Korner is a super nice store. Well stocked with a variety of items and fresh meats and vegetables. Everyone is quite friendly. This has become a go-to place as they do have everything and having free parking right in front in Chinatown is key.

The shop is organized neatly and brightly lit. There is a checkout station at each entrance/exit. We left with some frozen tangyuan and mantou, a herbal tea to get rid of dampness (everyone's under the weather), and the kid got some boba ingredients (pearls, black sugar, brown sugar). Parking is available by the road and also in the structure. This could possibly be a new one-stop shop for when I need to replenish ingredients for my dessert soups.

They have the cleanest freezers because they don't post their price tags all over the glass. They have the salted egg yolk custard buns here and they're $6 for 12 pieces. All the frozen buns in the baby blue colored package are good. The buns are moist and soft when you steam them at home. If you're looking for Asian sauces, dried noodles, Asian canned goods, or authentic snacks, you will also find those here. The aisles are tight, and each shelf is filled with merchandise. If you can't find something, ask the person sitting at the register and they will let you know if they have it and which aisle. The owners speak Mandarin and a little bit of English but if you show them a photo of the product on your phone, they'll be able to help you out. Whenever I shop in Chinatown, I park in the Marin Tower parking. The parking structure is well lit, and they have reasonable rates. It's only a few minutes walk to New Hong Kong Market.

Tastes so yummy and better than the ones we have in the regular stores. SORRY... but it's OUR opinion. Oh and their fruit snacks are pretty good too! ANYWHO, this place is worth TRYING and I'm not saying more cause I want to have them all to myself! HAHAHA! Nah nah but I'd rather YOU go in yourself to see it instead of listening to me on what I liked or thought. They have so much new and yummy flavored chips and I swear... it tastes GOOD! I got the buldak flavor, crab (MY FAVORITE), steak (my husbands choice), chicken, cucumber flavor, ketchup, lobster, chicken and then they have some others I didn't think to try like avocado or nori. I figured they'd be good for a second try. But the best was the apricot snacks! Idk ‍ it's probably because I needed it. But overall, it's NOT DRIED OUT! Not YET at least. Anywho, they've been out for about a year and they look as if they're not that busy. So, I'm hoping this will get MORE people to go here and visit to keep them open and so they CAN bring in MORE Asian snacks that we ALL wait for. Okie dokes! Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Hooray! One 2 Buy has added price tags to most of the items!…read more A number of items I looked at had English nutrition labels as well. Not everything, but it's a great improvement. The back of the store now has lights on. You can see in the back of the store. You no longer need to be apprehensive about venturing in the back of the previously unlit store. There is air conditioning, however, it doesn't seem to work well. I was in here for ten minutes and perspiring due to humidity and heat. I asked the one employee if she was uncomfortable in working in this heat. She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

So I also got a salmon bento for lunch the next day. I also picked up cut up Korean pear and Korean melon! What is it about eating cut fruit that reminds me of my grandmother. Ahh memories!! And after we checked out, I saw they have roasted sweet potatoes after the registers 1 star taken away because the food court upstairs kinda sucks now. Giovanni's, tteokkbokki place, Japanese ramen, fried chicken and poke. Not very h Marty if you know what I mean. They could use a Korean bbq place and a Korean noodle/stew place.
