    I didn't realize this little mart had been here since Covid until the cashier mentioned it! Today was my first time visiting, thanks to a recommendation from my dental hygienist across the street. Parking was easy, and the location is super convenient--right across from my dentist's office. The store has a great variety of snacks, groceries, and everyday items, almost like a mini 7-11. Prices are really good, everything was easy to find, and I even ended up buying more than I planned. I'm definitely coming back!

    Snackaholic paradise... Who knew this place existed...I didn't and had a hard time finding it! Kokua Korner Mart is located in Mililani Tech Park and the tiny sign on the mirrored windows and doors keeps the secret well hidden until you walk in and see the incredible selections they have in this super tiny shop. Shopping for the extra something for a gift basket, overhearing some selling to make that extra fundraiser for school or just that snack cravings this place has a great choices from the usual gummies, chocolate and candies to cup noodles and various grocery items to some asian snacks and local goodies. I left excited to find some great deals with an afterthought of the use by date and they were all past the date suggested just by a few weeks though later realized that is the reason for these prices which didn't bother me one bit, shared it with mom and friends as we all enjoyed them at such great prices made it that much more yummy ;-) Thank you!

    All this for $15 is an unbeatable bargain! Gum was 3/$0.99 and those Tabasco slim jims were 5/$1

    Little snack shop with some SUPER good deals! Random flavors or snacks you don't normally see and many at massive discounts! The trick is that the heavily discounted items are near their "best by date" but still good. Considering most of the snack items you buy will be gone in a day, what's the worry lol. They also have hot musubis and cold drinks like most convenient stores. The main attraction for us though was the snacks . Check um out!

    Looking for good bargains? You are in luck. Kokua Korner located in Mililani Tech Park is teeny tiny store that sells discounted snacks from their retail warehouse on property. Due to COVID-19, they only allow a few customers at a time. You must wear a mask and take your temperature once you enter the store. KK sells candies, snacks, Asian snacks, some shelf life grocery items, cold drinks and some hot food snacks. You can purchase single item things as well as in bulk by the case. The prices are dirt cheap because the items are near the expiration date so please make sure you look before purchasing. If you are going to consume right away, it is a very good deal. So, check them out and support local! You'll thank me for that!

    Cute store. They sell candy, chips, cup ramen, marshmallows, gum, mint, Japanese hard candy, etc. Many items are close to the "best used before" dates. I got a package of Kraft Jet Puffed Marshmallows for 99 cents! I saw a 6 oz. Health bar for 2/$1.00! Open only on week days

They also had a really good selection of clearance and hot-and-ready food items marked down. A lot of them were under $5, which was quite the deal! I believe it's because we came in later at night, so take notes, everyone. You might find some really good markdowns if you shop later in the evening. I ended up taking home two SPAM musubis, a Zero Sugar Monster, an apron, an oven mitt, and, completely randomly, an Oreo-flavored Twix. This Foodland trip was a SUCCESS because I didn't go aisle by aisle and break the bank. I went in to grab a snack, found something cute, treated myself, and WALKED AWAY. That is growth. Also, if you're looking for cute reusable tote bags for only $1, you can find them here too! Sometimes the best Foodland trips are the quick ones where you walk out with dinner, a little treat, and something cute for yourself. Atleast that's what I'm telling myself for this trip. Foodland is the best.

I say this because upon entering it's like a food court, as first you see Teapresso Bar with full offerings of drinks you then see an insane selection of baked goods more than some small bakeries offer along with plate lunch, smoked meat, pizza and even roast pork handing under the warmer...all this before I enter the grocery sections you see graduation leis, UH merchandise and various grab and go treats as well. It's a beautiful supermarket that nice and clean very well organized with displayed items neatly placed and the vibe here is just so calm and friendly I was just very impressed with it all knowing that I can purchase items already made before entering to shop is quite deceiving and tempting but is nice to know for busy folks that they do have you covered whether you're in a rush or just need a single ingredient this is the place to go and support all things local. Thank you!

We returned our poke bowls because our portions were noticeably smaller than those given to other customers. We ultimately chose pizza instead because we were not confident we would receive a properly portioned poke bowl. Pizza was fairly priced and we enjoyed the Goomba. There is an unpleasant odor in the facility. The atmosphere was busy and casual, as expected for a supermarket, but the service at the poke counter made the experience frustrating.

They've got great holiday items right now to splurge on so buyer beware and don't spend all your money at once! All in all, I was really grateful Walmart was still open when we went. I just wish they stayed open a little longer for us late-night shoppers! Also, they have the most charming mural at the front entrance.

I have 2 favorites -- Tuesday & Thursday.   I eat it practically every week and you'd never guess when you see it! Tuesday is the BBQ Bowl -- You get ypur choice of meat, rice, and a side (banchan). I always get the smoke meat with pickled onion on rice. The smoked meat has plenty smoked taste, just enough fat, and it's not tough (you know what I mean).  The pickled onion is the perfect compliment!   Love the bite and the vinegar taste -- cuts though and brings it all together!   They give you quite a bit in the bowl.  Definitely enough to make me smile!    Again ---- $6.00!!!!! Thursday is another winner in my book.   It's noodle day!!!  I used to get the Mega which had everything in it.   It was a special that they had at the beginning but it's been discontinued.  I think the only one I'm not too crazy about is the curry.   I know some like it -- but having watery curry with noodles is just not me.   The rest are pretty good.   They warm up the noodles right there and add all the goodies on top.  It's take out so they give you the hot broth in another container ---- perfect so your noodles don't get soggy!   I think it's a great 'buy and eat later' meal! I think the only negative is that sometimes the parking lot is very, very full.  If you go early it's not too bad.    The rest of the days they have kalua pig burrito, nachos, and the $6/lb food bar Friday.   With all the prices on everything going UP, UP, UP, it's so nice that we can have a good and satisfying meal for $6.00.    Thank you Foodland -- Food, Family, and Friends!!!

I will have to say that being here at 5 AM with nobody in the building but myself and probably a few associates, made it extremely cold? Or am I just not used to AC anymore? It was actually unbearably cold that I had to leave after sometime because I was getting so uncomfortable, it hurt. But then again, this is someone who used to live in Texas and needed to always have a 66° AC to someone who now lives in a space with absolutely no AC. So take this with a grain of salt. This is probably my favorite Safeway I've ever been to and I've been to several in the country during my travels. It's a shame that I only started checking in seriously this year! I highly recommend this location for good finds and for being very well organized. It makes me want to shop more. I also found some fun items in their international section that I've never seen before. I will obviously be back!
