Gas And More Gas…read more This small gas station is across right next to Windward Square with Adelas Country Eatery. The lady inside here was very friendly, she asked where I was from and told me where to eat and more importantly, where NOT to eat lol. Its very tight inside and there was a hot dog spinnin in the hot dog roller (didn't wanna take a pic of the hot dog because well it was close quarters and I felt a little shy lol). Even saw some bean burritos! (Gas and more Gas anyone?) Seemed to be a lot of variety for a small mart! I really appreciate the pleasant conversation I had in here though, I find some gas station attendants either robotically mum or grouchy lol. Shoutout to the few reviewers here and especially Nadine for pioneering this spot on the map with the FTR!

Quick in and out to access this store I drive by all the time…read more Connivence is the key here! All your favorite drinks & snacks are here. There is a small but spacious parking lot and they accept EBT. Ambiance layout much like a 7-11 without hot food items. Chips, candy bars and lots of beer & liquor on display. Baseball hats to snacks. Great store to grab those quick craving fixes. Good for a 3-Star first impression.

Smells amazing in here and they have secret sales I've been gatekeeping this place for a while. I…read moredon't know anywhere where they sell cheaper beer than Safeway this place will refuse service if you're a weirdo like this car I saw earlier who trashed the store and ran off. Yelp staff is intentionally taking down good reviews because this establishment refuses to pay them ahahhahaahahah the owner was offering 25% off on all purchases for leaving review but now he stopped giving out the promotion now :(

Fair amount of ready to eat foods - not as much as a Don Ki store. They are in the old Times location at the Kailua Shopping Center....Times is under the same ownership group. I purchased some Kiriotoshi beef - made for shabu-shabu - but I just wanted to fry it for my lunch. Sale priced...and reasonable. Open daily from 600a till 1000p. Lots of parking in the shopping center...stalls are good sized. It is usually busy, so parking can be problematic.

They had Trader Joe's lookalike tote bags with different embroidered Hawai'i designs on them which…read moreare so much cuter than the TJ's bags imo. I already bought a couple in other places and got another one for a friend. We got some spam musubis which were yummy and I got one of those fried shrimp paste long dongs from the hot food section and it gave me slight food poisoning later that day.

The express store was right there next to subway on Alakea Street. Very open concept. It looked…read moreempty. They do have hot foods in the warmer food case with for fair prices. Portions are fair. Food was good! I love Korean food. Satisfied for price, taste of food, nothing special about the Korean food, and so convenient for those who work in the area.

My internal monologue acts up sometimes. Today, as I crossed Alakea street it went, "wait, do you…read moresee people in there? THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THERE! Let's go where the people are!"  Okay, it didn't say/sing that last part because my internal monologue isn't that of a Disney fan waiting for the little mermaid live action to come out. Not sure where was I going with that because that definitely went sideways. Any who, Palama Express looks like it has finally opened with temporary hours of Monday to Friday, 7 am to 4 PM. They're still clearly setting up as not all of the display cases and shelfs are completed and there's plenty of empty shelves. They do have a wide assortment of snacks, baked goods, and drinks. More importantly, they have kimbap, the various type of mini bentos such as spicy pork, bbq chicken, tofu, chicken katsu, and fried mandoo among others. They do seem more expensive than their other locations with a 50 cent increase likely due to downtown rent. Where's that NYC guy when you need him yelling "THE KIMBAP PRICES ARE TOO DARN HIGH!" They also have banchan, seeweed salad, pickled vegetables, Teagu, and more. The store is clean, newly renovated and well lit, which is a stark contrast to the darkness that was the former tenant, Starbucks. So if you're looking for an affordable and relatively healthy lunch that isn't a sandwich, stop by Palama Express's newest location.

As I walked its streets of downtown and searched through its nooks and crannies in search of…read moresustenance, I decided all was lost and I would have to go one of the local spots that I had been to on many occasions. Yet, I was confronted with a situation...this establishment served Pepsi and I am a true Coca-cola fan. Where would I go to find the beverage that would take care of my parched lips? Well, I decided a/c was in order and took a shortcut walking through the Davies Pacific Center and stumbled across a simple sundry shop on its first floor. They served up a plethora of beverages and snacks that will please whether you are coke or pepsi, doritos or lays, or paper or plastic (I couldn't think of another sundry analogy). Prices are rather reasonable and in line with a sundry shop and its spot is quite near to a lot of local lunch spots whether you are going to C G's, Bishop Street Cafe, or more.

For lunch I go there for the 4.50 korean bento. They usually have some chicken or beef along with some vegetables. It really is a good combo for the price. They also have some baked goods and a good assortment of chips.

Snacks, Food, Beverages, Greeting Cards, Office Supplies, Paper Goods, Medicine and so on.... I usually go there 2x a day! Mornings, we are there for a spam musubi, or their awesome breakfast bentos. They usually have a mix of bentos, but my fave is the white rice, scrambled eggs, bacon, portugese sausage and sausage links. Great variety!! Then I'm usually back again for lunch so that I can pick up my Diet Coke from the soda fountain (I'm one of those that HAVE to drink diet coke from a fountain, needs to have ice!). Lunch time, we'll pick up chips to go along with our meals, or else sometimes we'll do a musubi if we're rushed. They have lots of choose from and do a variety of Korean bentos, hot dogs, or their mochiko chicken musubis which I heard are really good! Very reasonable prices.... Lots of selection.... We LOVE Bins.
