Worker stocking more meats
Lisa L.

Wow must update and add an extra star. I came to Ko'olau Times today to buy my daughter milk and dinner and it was stocked with fruits and vegetables that looked bright and fresh. I also checked the garlic even though I didn't need any, and none was black! I was very shocked, this was a first for me. Usually there is a slim selection and of course it doesn't look good. I also went to the meat/fish department and it was also stocked with fresh looking seafood and meat. They're stepping it up and I'm very impressed and would actually consider coming here more...not only when it's a convenience because it's closer to home. One more thing I would like to add is it was very clean looking in here today, usually it looks grungy but I saw a worker the whole time cleaning.

Found this awesome $1.59 deal at Times! I have til the 15th to eat em all.. Not bad! :-) blended 2 images

I love coming here for their famous local plate lunches! They are always pretty good and come with rice, salad and a drink! I just finished buying a cute pink UH tank top for $16. I thought it wasn't a bad deal! They also have sushi and kaava and basically everything else you generally desire from a grocery store with random surprises :) But yea, parking here does kind of suck and I've seen people get into fights about parking here. Especially because they'll take up 2 whole parking spots at the front of the store right as someone else is trying to pull into the next one..

Nice place to shop

Stopped by to pick up some barbecue meats and drinks to bring to the beach. Located across Valley of the temple in koolau shopping center. There are many other businesses so parking could be a pain. It's a Sunday so parking was good. Store is clean and organized. Very easy to find what your looking for. The typical grocery store with all your food needs and household necessities. Went in for barbecue meats, the selection wasn't the greatest but sufficient enough. Char siu pork, kal bi, and teriyaki meat. They also have oysters. Not bad for last minute barbecues. They have poke in trays, this store doesn't have a poke station like the one in royal kunia. Their plate lunch section is very small compared to Royal Kunia. Nonetheless still Ono food for on the go. Staff was very friendly and nice. Was greeted with a smile. Line at check out was a breeze. Will be back I'm sure!

This place was a nice surprise. Admittedly, this was the first place we went to with poke (shock!) and it was a good starter in Hawaii! We had three different poke bowls (unfortunately, I only remember the Spicy Ahi for sure)..but whatever we had, it was very tasty for supermarket poke. The guy who worked there was also very patient with us. And the cashier was also very friendly, we asked if it was going to rain later and she walked us out and gave us a personal update lol. Good experience and good customer service.

Came in looking for gluten free snack for a friend's child.

I love this Times. PARKING: The parking has always been a little tight, but if you're from this area, you are used to it. Fortunately they opened up a side lot around the corner from the store on the Hui Iwa St side where the gas station used to be. Those spaces are wide enough, being that it's a new lot. CROWD: all ages, local people, folks from Kane'ohe, Kahalu'u, North Shore, tourists headed out to North Shore, folks from the surrounding neighborhood... SERVICE: very friendly, good management, some young cash registers, most of whom are friendly and helpful :) Anytime I've had a question about the location of a product, they are quick to take me to the appropriate aisle. COST: they have weekly sales and deals. Prices are what you'd expect for Hawai'i. I usually just run in for a few items, or a potluck item on the way to a party, or the occasional late-night dessert! PHARMACY: friendly, helpful staff that answer questions and work quickly to help you. FISH: there's new seafood section! I haven't tried it yet, but look forward! PRODUCE: I've always loved Times' produce and selection. Especially when there are sales. MEATS: good selection! STEAK/CHICKEN PLATES: awesome, always love these!

Not a fan of the poke side. That basically what we can for. Hawaiian style just wasn't that great in flavor.

Let me start by saying when the Kunia location changed to a DonPen version I was severally…read moredisappointed that they took out the Plate Lunch counter (yes I know get the fancy version but it's not the same and more expensive). So that why when I stopped by the Kaneohe location to pick up dinner to take home for me & my wife I was so happy to see all of the old school classics. Since it was Thursday I got one Pastele Stew plate and a Shoyu Chicken plate. Both tasted so good. I like that you can pick your sides and there are healthy choices like tossed salads and sweet potato, but if you need your fix you can get Mac salad and rice. They even get potato wedges as one option. You get to pick 3 sides. Also the plates come with a canned drink making this a great deal. SERVICE: Outstanding. Fast. Friendly. They even asked me if I wanted my plates saran wrapped which was great because both plates k ordered get gravy and sometimes causes a mess in the bag before I get home.

Having been a loyal customer for year's it's i sad to see…read morethe deterioration of the Kaneohe Store. I have noticed the lack of cashiers, only one was present when I went on 2/10/ 2026, & the line was getting long. Customers use self checkout usually when they have not to many items. The man in the managers booth, whom I have seen cashiering before, wasn't moving! What a shame! Management where are you!!! The prices are awful, example : almost $20 .00 for a 24 pack of Diet Coke! Go look around , & check food items out for yourself! The parking lot is always full & it's difficult to get a decent space upfront, unless you go all the way in back of the store near the trash dumpsters. Won't be going to Times Kaneohe any more, unless I need to!

I came in today after playing some basketball and it felt great because this store is so cold it's like walking into a refrigerator! I actually avoid coming to this store if I don't have time to get a full coat and warm pants, no need to even refrigerate un-refrigerated drinks because the place always stays so cold

We (me, and my 2 elderly parents) were trying to get today's free offer item which was the Gatorade. We all have our own accounts. Today she yelled at me for inputting my father's phone number and not using my own phone number and accused me of using other peoples numbers. I told her this is my father's phone number and i'm helping him. My father couldn't remember if he used his home or cell number so an error popped out. She made a huge scene yelling at me rather than just leaving us alone or helping, Leaving us alone would be better than yelling at us and making a scene. Then she starts harassing my mom who already has her receipt to make sure her phone number matches the receipt and starts accusing her of who knows what. Then she starts printing a paper trail of me to show proof i'm trying to get more than one free item. All this while making a scene in the store. I left without getting my father's gatorade because it's simply not worth the hassle for a free item.I absolutely hate coming to this Safeway. It's so much drama, Zero Aloha and get accused of who knows what. did she think i'm stealing? fraud using strangers numbers when we're using our own? Who knows but i absolutely hate coming here. So much drama just to get a free Gatorade.
