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.

We visited on a Sunday afternoon. It is a small general store with awesome sandwiches. I ordered…read morethe Turkey sandwich with multi grain bread. You order it by the cashier indicating which items you want in the sandwich. They have a gas station next door. I would definitely return to try their other sandwiches.

They even had free Thanksgiving dinners again this year. Much Aloha!

While I have had good experiences in the past with friendly service and able to get what I need, lately it has been terrible! There is only one employee at a time and the shelves are wiped out. I asked the gal at the counter (after a long wait) , she said no, they just don't have the staff to stock! I also tried to make an appointment for a Covid booster, as I have gotten there before but never received a call back after leaving messages 2 days in a row. They never answer the phone but promised to call back within the hour. It's been several days now. I've given up on them. I hope they are able to hire enough staff to run the store properly. It would be really sad for our community to lose them.

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.
