Had the two choice poke bowl with spicy ahi and Malama special. Both were good and the customer service was on point. The lady asked me if I wanted the two choice which I didn't know was an option. Very convenient location at the beginning of Makakilo Dr. It's a sister company to Foodland for locals and even though it's previously frozen fish, the flavors are Ono. It was so good I went the next day! read more

Malama Market - Two choice with spicy ahi and Malama special - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

I hired 4 guys to move from a rental unit to a 4 bedroom house, plus 2 large pods containers. They worked in a timely manner and well coordinated. They completed everything in 3.5 hrs. Workers were (Kirk, Landon, Ryan, and Elgene.) They were friendly even though they were working hard. read more

Poke is Ono! But you gotta get there early because they sell out pretty fast. That's pretty much all we get from here since it's super close to our family's house. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

This market is in a small plaza, right next to a coffee bean and tea leaf. Honestly, only times I've ever been here is for the poke. The poke, in my opinion, is one of the best on the island. I really like the Korean style and I always order it whenever I stop by here. The workers have always been quick with getting my poke and when completing my transaction. It's a smaller grocery store but from what I've seen, there's still a lot of variety in what they carry. And it's always been clean whenever I've gone. read more

Trying all the different foods here. It's very tasty. I like their pork and peas , their spicy tako and dinuguan. I've just tried their chow fun and it is flavorful. Cant wait to try their prime rib that they have on Sundays. They serve it by the pound and I think it's about $25ish/lb. read more

Love coming here for the spicy poke. Love how they have a coffee bean as well. Service is always good for me. Ambiance has changed over time

Such a nice small and friendly place. Love, love the poke bow! My favorite was the spicy ahi poke with rice and they put this sauce on it, makes it simply mouth watering! The parking is very limited. read more

Malama Market - Spicy ahi poke bowl with sauce - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

The poke at Malama market is one of our favorites on the island. We've been here a few times only for the poke. The staff are friendly and the service is always quick whenever we've stopped in. We love getting their tako and spicy ahi with extra sauce drizzled on the top and sides of the container. Their poke is made fresh daily and just about melts in your mouth because it's so soft. We've brought it to a few family parties whenever we're in Hawaii and our family always asks where we get it from because it's so good. What I also love is that they pack so much in the containers. We usually order by the pound but when my friend and I came in this past Friday to pick up poke, we decided on getting a poke bowl as well for lunch. We were surprised how heavy our bowls felt once got them. We also decided to order some fried chicken from their hot food selection. We were amazed how crispy and delicious it was. Definitely recommend! We will continue to keep coming back again and again. read more

The market is down the road from us and convenient when buying one or two items or picking up a Musubi to go. Disappointed in their pricing and not removing sales tags that were a few days old. In middle of baking and discovered we needed a little more sugar. Took a trip down to Malama Market, I knew they are more they Walmart but didn't realize how much more. First of all, I picked the 4 lb bag that was the lowest price based on the tag on the shelf. Clerk rang up it was a bit more than advertised. I said that it was on sale according to tag. She went an looked, brought tag back, oh that sale ended a couple days ago, see red line it's being removed tonight. Like I am suppose to know what a red line means or notice the small print. If it's no longer on sale you remove the sale tag. Not to mention their regular pricing on the sugar is more than twice the price as Walmart. I like to support local businesses but am not willing to cut into my own budget to do so. The positives about market it is closer to our home, not as crowded, nice produce department although more expensive, nice deli area, grab and go Musubi, fairly reasonable price. That being said I will probably head further down the hill in future. read more

My newest favorite place to buy poke. The poke guy knows what he is doing as you can tell he cares about his food. But the fried chicken guy doesn't do a good job as the chicken I bought was too dry but tasty. read more

You gotta love cheap, grocery store, high a quality poke. Thats what this is all about. I wish I took a picture but I was starving and the taste was immaculate so I went in I got the spicy ahi and spicy salmon combo. Star was super friendly but a tad bit slow read more

Ono poke, my favorite is the Korean poke with sweet kimchi sauce and spicy ahi. They have a variety of food and bentos. Friendly workers.

Convenient, prices are very high compared to safeway. They make wonderful delivery sandwiches and every one is very kind

Convenience at its finest. They are Always well stocked. Workers are always helpful and friendly. Decent size section of produce. Meat and poultry a little small but good enough for last minute pickups. They have a pretty good selection of Beer and wine. I find what I'm looking for most of the time. Poke is one of the best. They run out fast of the good stuff, especially peak hours, around 2pm-5pm and weekends. read more

Malama Market - the outside of the building - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Malaga market is the place to go when you want to find Fresh produce on the shelves!! Their deli station is awesome, once I went and they were selling prime rib :) I didn't go for prime rib but because it was there and looked as if it just came out of the oven I had to get it!! I had a positive and friendly experience with Each of the employees I've had to interact with!! read more

Truly a treasure! Kapolei has a lot of places to buy groceries, but Malama is hands down MY FAVORITE!!! The deli, produce, meat & seafood selections are always so fresh, and their friendly, helpful staff is always there to help you find what you need. Their cooked foods are also yummy, especially the whole chicken they offer. Tasty, indeed! They also have the tastiest, fresh poke! And, my favorite cashier Jeannie is there to ensure my shopping experience is a great one. To those with comments about parking - try to slow down. The parking isn't any different than parking at Safeway, Walmart, Costco or Foodland. In fact, it's actually better at Malama. read more

Love their spicy ahi poke and love when their chantilly cupcakes goes on special! Their salt & vinegar chicken is the bomb too

It's better to come to Malama then Foodland down the street even though same company. Why? Poke is $17 per pound at Malama and it's $27 down by ASB. Same stuff, cheaper at Malama. And their staff and players lunch, also much better. read more

Hands down one of the best poke places on the island. It's in a grocery store-so don't expect it to be a sit down restaurant,etc. Also, prices are very reasonable compared to other poke places. Definitely stop by/visit if in the area. read more

Stores really convenient to have and the workers are very kind. It's short by a star because of the people that don't know how to park or know where they need to park! Throw trash in the trash! Not on the ground! Otherwise a great place read more

OMG! I love this store!! It's so quaint... and so well stocked with so many ono things to choose from! My son has been talking about this place for years. But I live on the Windward side so a visit here was quite unique. First, the poke is great!!! Second, the poke counter service at the deli is pretty awesome too!! Blade was so accommodating when I went back with my Spicy Ahi poke...because I wasn't aware there was a SECRET sauce!! (Good thing the local Braddah after me told me). I also grabbed an assortment of beverages...green bottles, silver cans of bubbly seltzer, flavored sparkling ICE for the keiki. Umm, grabbed some Rainbow and 5-Layer Dobash cake for the Ace, and Brownies with powdered sugar for MeHunny & Bubba. E kala mai...Can someone please tell the Sullivan Ohana that we direly NEED a MALAMA Market or a Foodland Farms in Kaneohe? Mahalo & Malama I ke kahi I ke kahi. read more

Typical grocery store, unfortunately it's the only market in the area, more expensive than most, probably because rent is high being a new center. read more

Went here for breakfast with my mentors before a job and was surprised that I really enjoyed the food! The price can't be beat and I believe they do charge you based either on weight or pieces but it all tasted fresh and was delicious! Best part. All under $5! read more

Malama Market - Scrambled eggs, port sausage and breakfast sausage patty - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

This market is kind of like a mini version of a grocery store. They offer a variety of things. They have a hot food section, they have fresh baked goods, freshly chopped fruits, poke and sushi. And then, they have all the things you would find at a typical grocery store but add a smaller variety. Day or night the employees here are very friendly and helpful. There's plenty of parking. They're located next to a coffee shop and a gas station. read more

This was first time coming in this store. I heard great about this store . I bought Bento breakfast for my team . They have a variety of set bentos . They have Vienna's sausage with scramble eggs and 1 scoop of rice. Or Portuguese and spam. Usually the price before was abt $5.00 but I priced went up so now bentos are range from $7 and up depending on the meat you picked. The store is organized and very clean. The cashier are very friendly and smiling. I came here Around 6:30 am and it's not crowded. Though the parking is not much wide but I can only imagine if it's too busy it might be a problem reversing and going in and out . Would recommend for early shoppers read more

Randy is the shit he went over and beyond his job and took care of me and made me feel so happy leaving the store! Kamu today took care of me again and the last time he did too! you have some pretty awesome people working for you should be proud of your local store! My mama Jean the best too!!! God bless your local owned business! Mahalo for the exceptional customer service time and time again! And that special sauce the shit best on island! Spicy poke is my craving and I will drive to you guys every time! read more

Just went into to buy poke! The worker tried to stiff me on fish. When I asked her why she gave me such small portion. She said this is the regular size. $15 for mostly rice is a ripoff. read more

Excellent neighborhood market with an awesome deli. So grateful to have this convenient place to pick up a much needed red onion, delicious and generous plate lunch or dessert for a gathering. The service is always pleasant no matter what time I stop in read more

For sure a hidden gem on the island for great tasting fish. Drove from Waikiki to get the spicy style and Korean style. The real star here is the spicy which is minced not cut, and the speak sauce they have is mouth watering. The service was quick and very helpful. read more

Since we are all in this pandemic, If you want a quick shop for food necessities, this is the right place!! They pretty much have everything from rice, bread, fresh produce, meat, canned goods, to desserts. They also have paper towels and toilet papers and they limit it to one per customer. And the BEST part is "NO PRICE GOUGING!" --Thank you for being a good-neighborhood market!! I just wish the other places would do the same. read more

Malama Market - They have rice!! And no price gouging - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Best people and fresh food. Best little treasure on island! Everyday they help with a smile and the coffee bean and tea leaf is always great too! read more

Better than a 7-11 because you can get fresh poke, hot food, and beer and wine. Prices are what you'd expect in a convenience store, but you're in and out with what you want. read more

Malama Market is on Makakilo Drive where the old Pantry used to be and is also next to Coffee Bean. The store is very convenient for anything you may need. I prefer going to this store versus driving down to Kapolei and fight traffic. You may pay a little bit more but it's worth having to fight traffic. The store has everything from a deli, a poke station, hot food items and sushi if you want to pick up something to eat that's quick. They also have a produce section, fresh meats and everything in between. They have a wide selection of beers, hard liquors, and wines as well. There's also a bank of Hawaii ATM machine outside of the store just in case you need one. For anyone that needs flowers or leis, they have those on hand as well. The employees are very friendly and are always more than willing to help you! read more

Good selection of stuff though obviously expensive as you're paying for the convenience/ location. They sell beer, wine and liquor. Fresh produce and have a deli there with hot food ready to go. Cashiers are normally pretty friendly. read more

Hands down best spicy ahi poke I've tasted on the island!!! I also like their Hawaiian style poke.

I only been here a few times very convenient, last night I came to get 3 cans of tomato sauce and was amazed at how the employees handle having a very long line. Of course I didn't mind, because sometimes things happen, but how the workers came together to help each other was outstanding, the worker noticed & called over speakers for help not 1 but 3 workers came upfront and opened every register being fast & friendly awesome job. read more

Malama Market - Brought tomato sauce to make Gandule Rice & Spanish Chicken - Convenience Stores Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

Malama Market doesn't want you to spend too much money at their store. That's the only conclusion I can reach after they're eliminated all the hand baskets. The only options now are to use a cart or limit your purchases to what you can carry around the store in your arms. To be clear, using a hand cart here is not a good option at all. Malama is not the kind of place you do your grocery shopping. It's where you stop when you need a few things quick. If you've ever stepped inside the store, you know it's tightly packed, and there's no room for several people walking around with carts. Terribly inconvenient. Will not be shopping here until they fix this idiotic decision. Bring back the baskets. read more

Yes, I have a thing for small grocery stores, but this one is my favorite because it has a good selection of a lot of things. Fruits, veggies, frozen food, cooked food, dessert, and even POKE! I love the fact that have ready to go section with things like Mac salad, somen salad, drinks, snacks, sandwiches, etc packed up waiting for you to put in your lunch bag for work. They were smart making that little section. Also my son said to mention they have the best musubi! I love their onion ahi poke and limu poke. Apple Pay may not work there. All cards and cash are accepted. Oh and Coffee Bean and Tea is literally next door. read more

I love their deli food. Service, tasty, friendliness is tops. Even the cashiers in front are great!

Malama Market located on Makakilo Drive reminds me of a small version of Foodland. Malama Market is conveniently located next to the Aloha Island Mart (Aloha Gas Station) and connected to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. The grocery store would be the last minute stop for Makakilo residents to get groceries for the home, hot meals, poke, and alcohol. There's even a Red Box located on the premises. As I walked through the aisles of Malama Market I was greeted by the employees of the store. My legs kept taking me towards the poke station and hot food section. The temptation to order half pound of poke and a few crispy drumsticks was there but I'm gonna save it for my next visit. I even noticed the Ted's Bakery pies in the cold open air case... Chocolate Haupia Cream pie sounds yummy right about now. Malama Market also has an entrance that leads to The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf. I'll head back to Makakilo and visit Malama Market again in the future. Who knows maybe I might meet Dave C and his family while I'm there. 145/200 read more
