The Animated tiny backpacks for kids displayed on the wall is what brought me in today! So glad I…read morestopped in because this small convenient store has so many great things that is tempting to buy which I plan to come back more so when I'm ready to buy those unnecessary wants lol As you can see in the pictures I've attached to my review.. they got many cute stationary items, a huge candy station, greeting card section, hot food items section, car, household, personal accessories and I think they sell Bus passes too. If you got time to stop in and browse, I'd say do it. The Workers are also kind and helpful which made the venture here even more pleasant.

If this place ever goes out of business I'll cry. Or have to quit. Chit Chat is downstairs of my…read moreoffice building and over the years I've bought: chips, soup, crackers, cards, loose chocolate candy, toys, bus passes, presents for people I've forgotten it was their birthday (whoops), fruit cups, yogurts, sodas, orange juice (for when my throat was sore), medicine, fork backscratchers (yuh), scarves (because our office is crazy cold), hard-boiled eggs, doughnuts, sandwiches, candy bars, ribbon, safety pins, stuffed animals, coffee, spam musubi & breakfast bentos, mochi, gum, popcorn, boiled peanuts...you get the picture. Sometimes I think the buyer can read my mind. I never leave empty-handed. Not sure if that's good or not. Today I got the most incredible corn chowder, with bacon, potatoes & carrots, and they give you a package of oyster crackers, which are the world's most perfect cracker, since they are tiny but full of carbs, so you could eat only a few, if you wanted to. As if.

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I was actually looking for Fuji Takeout. My friend, Craig T. wrote a review about yummy Korean food, but that part of the store has ended. The cashier shook her head, "no", when I asked about food. I looked at the sign and it has been renamed to Fuji Market. It's like a convenience store whenever the neighborhood can get diapers, beer, paper good, toys, cooking ingredients, etc. There's an odd assortment of items like snacks, laundry detergent, and packing tape. The store is neat and clean. The door is open, so there's no air-conditioning. It great for last minute items if you're in the area.

If you get the normal sell out items you're guaranteed something that's not expired, but I come…read moreback because I love the mamasan with her sing-song voice and a friendly smile every time I go in. As usual, like the other Korean shops, they don't take card.

Ok so I forgot to check in when I went here but I must say... THIS PLACE IS AWESOME FOR SNACKS THAT…read moreYOU WANT WITH FLAVORS! TBH, I'm going back for more! 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.

Huge fan of the new location of Kelly's Korner. The space is bright, clean, and offers a large…read morevariety of items with fresh vegetables, meat, and seafood, sauces and spices, dried noodles, plethora of frozen items, and all their dried herbs and seafoods that they were known for. 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.

First time at this shop in its current location (Cultural Plaza) where Jolene's used to be. A lot…read moreof Chinese goods, from bulk dried herbs and seafood to noodles to snacks and drinks to frozen desserts and assorted hotpot-ready ingredients. 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.

What can you say about this woman owned and run store other than it's excellent!!…read moreParking in the nearby municipal lot is easy and you can just walk a little to explore. I've been coming here for years to get my "ancient Chinese secret" loquat syrup which I take to soothe my throat when I'm sick and to buy lychee! Lychee already packed in bags for you so you don't have to pay for the branches in weight like other places AND if you order online, they can even run it out to your car if you want. I'm in a wheelchair now, so I can no longer walk around and explore the store so I was able to get lychee at their pop up at Ala Moana. 8 years ago, my son really wanted to try mangosteen and we found it at Sun Chong! The also have the ingredients people are looking for like white or red lihing powder and lemon peel. They also have all kinds of gummy candy and lihing lemon peel gummies. As well as your assorted Chinese dried things and ones hanging outside that I have no idea what it is. Which reminds me , I should look up recipes that use them

I have been coming to this dual sister run store since I was very young with my dad. They are still…read moreso very strong and still are so great and friendly and kind. Today they also have a daughter working for them and it's nice to see generational businesses. You still feel that connection with them. I used to look forward to peaches from Georgia back in the day. Then the peaches grove didn't continue doing business because it got so costly for them. It was really a sad thing for it was something I looked forward to and my daughter did too! But, with the times we move on. They have delicious kind mango now in season with big island lychee. The big island lychee has a very small pit inside and so lots of it is mainly the flesh and juice of the lychee. I bought a one day old bag that gets a little suntanned and it $1 off!! Nothing wrong with it. I tasted it and still juicy and softly crunchy. Excellent!! Everyone loves a bargain. I also buy my Chinese seeds from them. They have the sweet seed, honey ginger, and lemon peel that are all my favorite. They also have a ton of other items but today I did not take pictures. I will however do so next time. It's definitely a place to visit and get the best and sweetest lychee and mango during summer time!!!

One of the newer stores that opened in Chinatown. Surprisingly, it has been opened for almost year…read morealready, but obviously closed a few times due to the pandemic. Kau Pen Sin offers a wide variety of Chinese and Asian dried goods from the luxurious bird's nest to a variety of dried mushrooms, dried noodles, dried seafood to nuts, teas, herbs, and etc. This store is located along Maunakea St in Chinatown, next to Pho Que Huong, near Lam's Kitchen. It's a small store that's jam packed with items top to bottom. The owner is the Queen of Queen's Travel! She's been my travel agents a couple of times, and many people go to her for cheap flights. Her office actually had a bunch of the items she's selling now, so with pretty much zero business in international travel, it's great that she opened up a store at a good location to sell her dried goods. Overall, a nice store to get your specialty items for those Chinese soups, stews, and special Bird's Nest Soup. There's a lot of variety here, and different qualities as well, so you can choose the one you're comfortable with. The higher priced and higher quality ones are the best, but a lot of the mid range grades are still more than acceptable. The owner is nice and can speak many languages, and don't worry if she's talking on multiple phones while texting, she can still effectively talk to you!
