Can't really say it all and or it's best but it is good enough for groceries. They used to be the best store to buy coca colas from, THEY STILL ARE... but lately, they have been selling out! Especially when the price is great! read more

Shopping in Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii... Most Hawaii residents know that the Times Supermarket chain has a fantastic produce department and carries local goods like popular snacks, candy/yarn/kukui nut lei, and ethnic groceries. This Times - located on the lower level of Aiea Shopping Center (below McDonald's and Aiea Bowl) - also has an area in the back with a Deli, sushi, and mochi station. It also has pharmacy and self-service check-out capabilities. I actually was trying to pay my auntie's electricity bill. (I was thinking that I could save a stamp...) However, personal checks are not accepted. I offered cash, but the bill needed to be linked to a phone number. I gave Customer Service auntie's home phone and cell phone, but neither number showed up. I'll have auntie call and have her bill adjusted... LOL! I ended up mailing her check to Hawaiian Electric. Haha! read more

This is the only supermarket that has been in Aiea for the longest time I know! At one time back in the days time the sugar mill factory was just above the hill... They do have Japanese confectionery galore. In the back of the store they have sushi, salads, mochi sweets and takeout deli one can choose. There's a counter table which has a hot plate warming up station that has bentos place on it so be careful not to touch it! There's a sign there but not too big for all to see fronting the table! The POKE area variety of fresh super delicious POKE ... there's always a queue! Prices are reasonable depending on the price per pound either fresh or previously frozen. Today I was lucky to find fresh OGO! Now a rare commodity where I used to pick OGO! And kukui nut (Inamona)!! Unfortunately they didn't have the Kauai Hanalei poi so I bought some other brand just to try! read more

My other half was accused of stealing and she wasn't. She stopped by this store because she wanted to grab food for my children. The store wasn't stocked so that's why she didn't buy anything. An associate of times thought it was a great idea to follow her to the car and approach her with my 2yr old son and accuse her of "stealing" just because she didn't buy anything. It's a store and just because a customer doesn't buy anything doesn't mean they're STEALING. In my opinion, Management failed to train their employees properly to approach situations if they feel like a person is stealing. This is a BIG insult to my Family and I'll be contacting corporate to make sure their Management team and staff is trained properly to handle certain situations in a professional manner. DO BETTER TIMES! Too bad I can't give this store 0 stars because you guys need help in how you guys run things here. Please check your cameras and prove she was stealing. Not only she was harassed by the associates but the Manager at the time didn't even follow up or consider doing an incident report. Again, DO BETTER TIMES! We should have gone to Don Q in Pearl City where they treat us like Family. read more

They have it all. Not a lot of choices but all the essentials. A recent focus on ready made foods have made their selection of sushi style bento's abundant. They still have the plate lunch counter and the poke' counter. A walk-in beer case lets you take a real close look at the large beer and fizzy alcoholic beverages. A great neighborhood market has all your essentials. Friendly and helpful staff. read more

Humm,what happened to my previous review? I know I did one after they had finished the renovations to the store. Walking thru the aisle, I noticed that they had a Don Quijote snack section. This is nice because you can pick up some of the snacks sold at Dpn Quijote. The market is well stocked, clean, and Service is excellent Enjoy read more

This is strictly for the sushi/okazuya section only! I rarely go to this Times location but, we needed to kill time while waiting for our food upstairs at Aiea Bowl. We were pleasantly surprised that they expanded and ate more like the Times in Mililani! There's a bakery upon entering which smelled sooo good! I'll have to try that place out next! To the far right once you enter is where the sushi and bentos are located! There were 2 workers making fresh sushi. The one thing that stuck out to us was the "From Japan" stickers! My hubby loved the fresh hamachi sushi! It's 5 pieces for $9.99! Much more reasonable than sushi places. I love Inari sushi and I especially love Tuna Inari sushi! I'm so happy I can now get my fix here! There was a 5 piece set and a 10 piece one! They also had a mixed inari set we tried. The combo of the aburage (tofu skin) adds so much extra flavor! They also had full spicy ahi inari and ahi poke inari if you love the fish & inari combo! I also saw hot entrees which were salmon bento, tonkatsu bento and katsu curry bentos. So there's definitely something for everyone if raw fish isn't your thing! Overall, we have come back 2 Saturdays in a row so we recommend checking it out! read more

It's been awhile and they updated their seafood section. So many options of roles, nigiri, sashimi, and inari bombs. Their poke section is decent as well. The seafood counter guy was awesome and put aside the last sashimi platter so we could pick it up. Self checkout was super quick too. Great staple for easy meals. read more

This review is for the delicatessen area of Times. I normally do my grocery shopping elsewhere but we do come here mainly for the delicatessen. For the last 10+ years we have been fans of their prepared/hot foods & were excited when they expanded/remodeled the store a few years ago & took over the are that was formerly a coffee shop/bakery. Our all time favorite is the grilled steak & the BBQ chicken. The cut of meat & how they grill it to perfection is worth the price & this has remained consistent over the years. Always tender, well-seasoned, & not overcooked with a little pink. They sell the grilled steak usually on Thursday's & Saturday's. The BBQ chicken used to be on Saturday's but is now sold on Monday's. They have different entrees daily. They used to post the menu at the counter area but no longer so best bet is to check this location online for the daily menu. The menu also varies by location. You can either buy a plate, which comes with a choice of 2 sides & bottled soda or water or you can buy by portion. We usually get the portions. One portion of steak runs just under $10. Other entrees run a little less. They also offer a 1 or 2 choice plate & a selection of hot entrees. Sides they offer are mashed potatoes/gravy, rice, hot veggies. The plates are reasonably priced & they give a good portion, you won't go hungry. Everything we've tried there is ono: mushroom chicken, grilled guava spareribs, roast turkey, pork adobo, teriyaki steak. Couple of the items are no longer on the menu but they may add it from time to time. They also sell Chinese crispy roast pork by the lb & we love that! This item is sold everyday, runs about $15/lb. This is comparable to other places that sell it. It's one of the best Chinese roast pork I've ever had - meaty, not overly fatty but a good ratio of meat to fat, not dry - pretty moist, nicely seasoned - not overly salty but just right. It is mouth watering ono! Even my hubby likes it & he's not a big fan of pork. The other thing I like about this area is the grab n go section with pre-packaged foods. They have bentos - breakfast & entree, a full range of different sushi & poke bowls. Sometimes if you are there at the right time, they will have mgr special mark-downs of $2.50 on a poke bowl from the $7.99 regular price. Their poke bowls are ono as well as their sushi. They make everything fresh daily. They sell salads, sandwiches, & even a mochi bar. And if you have a sweet tooth, they have a good selection of goodies at the bakery which is to the left of the main door entrance. You won't go wrong with the delicatessen here with a variety of choices and rerasonable prices. Lastly, the customer service at this location is awesome! Over the years, I don't think I've ever come across a rude or unfriendly employee. It's been pretty consistent - so friendly & helpful. Everyone is customer service-oriented from the cashiers to the baggers, cart persons, stockers, behind the counter employees, customer service booth. They all are sincerely friendly & make you feel warm & welcoming, like ohana. It's so rare to find a whole team like that these days & to be consistent over so many years. Keep up the outstanding work Times Aiea, mahalo! read more

I've been coming to this Time's for a very long time and their recent renovations are impressive! I'm not sure when they added to their store but it's really nice and a great place to buy a quick bite to eat for breakfast or lunch when I'm working in the area. This Time's Supermarket is located in Aiea right off the freeway when you take the cut off into Aiea coming from Honolulu. They're highly visible from the main road and there's plenty of parking. They share parking with other stores and restaurants in the area but I've never had trouble finding a spot. When you initially walk in, you'll have the bakery to your immediate left, cashier and self check out right infront, customer service to immediate right and pharmacy straight ahead toward the back wall behind the alcohol section. More to the right is your fresh veggies/fruits, other shelved groceries lining the rest of the store, frozen foods at the far end right rear side and even a new deli/sushi area on that right front side. The new sushi/deli section is my favorite since they have all the bento, sushi, fresh mochi, hot plate items and drinks in this area. There's a variety of items to choose from and everything I've tried were really tasty so far. This section originally was walled off and hosted the Arm Bar back in the day. Looks like Time's bought it to expand and it's awesome! The store overall has really great organization and cleanliness. The store workers are general nice and welcoming and you can find almost everything you need from a grocery store here. If you're looking for sales items, the advertisement paper is up front by the store entrance. read more

I went in there just to pick up some steak that they sell, but their new section where all the hot foods are is amazing compared to the one closest to where I live. I don't know if it's because of the spacing but their deli area with the hot foods Was clean huge so offered a lot more dish selections. Chicken Their brisket is juicy and tender the steak same as the brisket very tender, juicy, and flavorful. the fried chicken wings are delicious and crispy. I suggest getting a mix of hot and regular. I love that the garlic shrimp doesn't come with the shell so it's easier to eat. All plate lunches come with a drink and they are super friendly and efficient. Lots of desserts and side dishes such as kimchee are also available. There's one suggestion I would make for the management is to put more baskets for shopping near this section as all the choices are so enticing that your hands get full pretty quickly read more

Just a basic small market but I had no idea the deli was tucked around the corner and that's what sets it apart. The deli has a good selection of prepared foods, sushi, plate lunches and bentos. I also like to go for the brisket which is amazing. They are generous on the portions. read more

Nice little go-to market in my daughter's neighborhood. Decent selection and the poke counter looked pretty good, lots of snacks available

Needed to go shopping for last minute things and I was in the Aiea area. So I stopped by Times supermarket located under McDonald's and right next door to Samurai goodies. To my surprise they did a facelift I guess all new flooring which was nice and added a Bakery area which they did not have originally. Also they extended the back side of the store and added a bento and sushi area. It was very big area with all kinds of bentos and sushi to go. Support local and be safe read more

A friend's Instagram story put me on high alert that Times Aiea was selling freshly made obanyaki by Kansai Yamato. Obanyaki is a Japanese dessert similar to a stuffed pancake made with a special iron pan and traditionally filled with sweet azuki paste. Kansai Yamato has their main location inside Moanalua 99 and is famous for their fresh mochi. The obanyaki is made fresh right inside Times and they offer several fillings. That day, I picked up the mochi red bean and vanilla custard. They are sold in packs of 2 for $3.99. While we were there, the ladies working offered us a sample of their Baby Kasutella cakes - delicious bite sized cakes with filling. Yummmmm! read more

Went back a few times to get the Gyudon but it was always sold out. A few days ago, they had 4, so I bought 3 for my mom, husband and me. The price went up by $.50 which was okay BUT there was only a thin layer of beef with a whole lot of rice! Hmmm, that's why the bowl was heavy. I don't mind paying a higher price IF you get enough food that taste good and is satisfying. Glad I bought some sushi because we were still hungry since we ended up throwing away the rice that was probably equivalent to 6 scoops...so disappointing. The first time I purchased it, there was maybe double the beef. One day, I will give it another shot. I've been back a few times purchasing the Spicy Ahi inari sushi 4-piece or 10-piece and that has been consistently awesome! Will definitely be back for this! read more

Tips on ordering food from the deli department. My way... Bring a box or bag to carry and transport your food when you cash out. Paper bags break or tear. Otherwise buy one. I usually order food on Tuesdays (quartered rotisserie chicken - specifically wings) or steak on Thursdays. I pickup my order(s) after work which means they could at times run out of sides (mash potatoes , vegetables ( cauliflower) or corn. So with that said... I phone or call my order-in in advance. Call the main number and ask to be connected to the deli-department. Once connected place your order whatever it may be for that day. BUT CHECK to see if mash is available and if you prefer gravy on it or not. Then check to see what other sides are available (veggies or corn) The menu items change each day of the week. Next... I recommend you have your order wrapped in Saran wraps to avoid any spillage and keeping it warm. ------------------------------------------ Weird: Ask them to place the sales label on top for better visibility and barcode scanning. Poor communication between the deli-department and front cashiers. They may want the label on the sides because it lets them know this item is from the deli! ------------------------------------------ Request forks/spoons/napkins if you want them. DON'T forget your free drinks (soda/water) Head to the register to pay ENJOY! read more

I have always loved Times Supermarkets' assorted sushi selections. Today I was so excited to see that they have added my favorite "salmon ikura don" because I love salmon and I love ikura. Their poke bowls are also amazing. Aiea Times has a lot of ready to eat dishes. No need to cook when coming home from work, school, game, etc..... read more

Shop and Score! This location is close to my office so I usually head over after work. Lots of free parking and I never have to wait. Plus all the employees have been pleasant and helpful. I was totally missing Bubbie's Multiple Orgasm layered ice cream cake so I headed to Times to get the ingredients to make it myself and support our local student athletes. Don't laugh, it's not the same thickness as the original but I promise you, I had the chocolate ice cream, kona coffee ice cream, vanilla ice cream, AND the Oreo Latte cookie crust. I love how their ad features youth from different schools. Don't forget the code, #338....Go McKinley Tigers! read more

I like shopping for groceries at this location. Only negative would be parking. Parking here can get full and crowded. Hubby, daughter and myself came here on a weekday night shopping for food items we needed. The store itself is clean and easy to find items. We picked up some Fuji apples, snacks and drink pouches for my daughter. There's carts right outside the entrance and the employees working here were nice.

I was just at this location getting rung up by a cashier who was quite nice and polite. I wasn't sure where to put the basket as I laid out my items because Times has it set up in a different way than other standard grocery stores. The cashier helping me was perfect, she even extended an arm out to grab the basket since I was confused. Her coworker, on the other hand, in the lane behind me (I think lane 2, if I recall correctly), was not perfect. She was barely finished with whoever she had in line and decided to step up to about two inches from my face to point at the portion of the cabinet that the basket will go in while gruffly remarking "so you know next time". This cashier was the only person not masked in this area at this moment, and I'm clearly masked and keeping distance. What disgusting behavior to jump over to an interaction that she wasn't even a part of. My confusion of where to put the basket was maybe a two second interaction with the nice cashier before this disgusting person inserted herself into the situation. Oh, the salmon nigiri also didn't look great. read more

I've been a happy Times customer for 20 years. I enjoy the selection of products and great produce. I mailed a complaint to the store director and received no response for about three days. I called customer service to see if he received my letter and they didn't know. A few days later they called and left a message for me to call. I called and spoke with the store director and after hearing my complaint he said that I needed to ask to speak with the Manager on Duty. Only he or she had the power to override. How am I supposed to know that? The Management is technically going by the book. I asked if he could do anything and he didn't answer. I personally don't agree with this philosophy so I will start shopping elsewhere!!! There are many other places to get groceries like Palama Market. read more

ambiance at this supermarket was really calm not to busy. great selections of food to choose from, other than that service at times aiea was exceptional but until me checking out, cashier piilani was extremely rude and swearing at her employees in front of me and other customers that made me really uncomfortable. definitely will not coming here again, will be taking my business somewhere else. read more
