A worthy alternative to 7-11 for decent, fast, to-go food. I've been a few times and my rotation…read moreincludes the potato swirl, spam musubis (of course), the corn dogs, and the highball in a can. Once in a blue, blue moon the missus and I will get instant ramen; last time, we made the combo from Parasite. The area can get a smidge rough, but always manageable, even at night (just don't be lah dee da-ing around). Service has always been quick and the location is well-lighted. On my "certified" list fasho!

A little Korean mart with a bunch of delicious snacks to try. It's like a Korean 7/11. The mart is…read morevery clean and well stocked. The employees are friendly and efficient. What makes this place stand out is the selection of snacks they offer and their Ramyun Library. So many delicious choices and you can get hot water to make and eat your Ramyun in store. Unfortunately there is no seating so if you have accessibility needs, this may not be the place to enjoy your treats in store. Some of the snacks are a little on the pricey side... I saw a snack size bag of chips for $7. I get these are imported but that seemed a little excessive. I really enjoyed their variety of hot foods. It's no 7/11 however if you're in the area and want something a little different, I recommend you give it a try.

Every time we visit Waikiki, we always make it a point to stop at Don Quijote. They have such…read moreunique snacks, toys, and Japanese goodies that will make you want to shop for hours! We especially had fun at the claw machines towards the front of the market this time around and managed to score quite a few little stuffies and even a Japanese anime figure we really wanted! But the real surprise for me this time was the hot food section. I remember visiting it in the past, but I was super impressed by the variety offered this time around. I ended up buying a butterfish plate and it was sooo good! The fish was seriously so fresh and the pickles were tasty! I honestly don't think I can find a prepared butterfish like that at any of my local Japanese markets in LA, so Don Quijote is truly one of a kind!

I just love this place! What can I say. It's always my first stop when I visit Hawaii. I always…read morebuy poke and beer to eat and drink on my hotel room balcony. The tako (octopus) is my favorite. This Honolulu store may not look like much from the outside, but when you walk in, it's just fun for me. It's like a Target and Japanese supermarket in one! You want tourist gifts? Buy here and save then going to an ABC store or other tourist trap. Mahalo!

Such a big store with plenty parking and great AC!! When I went, there was a sale and some samples…read moreto try! I got their dried plum snacks, chips, and various drinks. Their stuff is limited edition or seasonal so it's better to buy when it is in stock. They even had this Asian anti hair loss shampoo, which was so nice to try. The cashier is very helpful and nice as well! I'm so glad there's a place where I can buy unique snacks you can't find anywhere else.

Oh my, I read several of the reviews for this store and decided that I must check it out myself!…read moreThough the store isn't fully stocked I had a great time wandering around the brightly lit store checking the stock on hand! I was truly amazed at the variety of flavors of potato chips and Kit Kats! I couldn't leave without trying Roasted Chicken and Steak flavored Lays Chips and Strawberry Kit Kats! I was amazed by the Roasted Chicken Lays...they really had a roasted chicken taste! I will return again for more Lays and whatever other interesting items I find!!!

You come to Ala Moana and the food courts are always busy…read more You want something quick like Japan 7/11, Family Mart, or any コンビニ in Japan. Go to Nijiya and go over to their Bentos shelf. Fresh as they come, and discounts (if you know the time to go). Just like Marukai and Donki, come here if you need Japanese products. I go here for a quick lunch fix with AC, away from the crowd, and / or cool down. No alcohol on the tables though! You go to Foodland Farms or DnBs that is next door.

I Heart Marukai…read more Going to Marukai is like being in a candy store for me. Entering the store, my senses are barraged with upteen choices, starting with snacks. Really have to hold myself back as I could subsist on Japanese snacks alone lol. Love that freshly milled rice is available here, amongst the myriad of bagged rice choices. Hot and cold food available here, along with poke bar and food items of regional fairs regularly held here. Getting here may pose a challenge with lane closures due to rail construction. Once you get here, finding parking is usually not an issue (save special holidays). Perhaps tonight I will be dreaming of having a shopping spree at Marukai where I get to consume what I wish to my hearts delight!

If you need bentos for dinner, some may be discounted for $1 to $2 less than the regular price. Most of the employees running the kitchen are done for the day. I have bought some items regarding party favors. If I need to find specific Japanese items or brands, I can browse and generally find it here. You're welcome to bring your own shopping bags. There's also recyclable bags available for purchase.

The only thing (but not worth taking away stars) is that this place is small and has dim lighting. I made my first Indian curry last night thanks to this store and I was very pleased with it! My hubby too!

I like a hole in the wall, but this market is a hot mess. I don't understand the high rating. The…read moreshelves are way too close together and there is no logical order. Glass jars are stacked high. There is food on the floor. The clerks, while friendly, don't know where stuff is. My daughter asked for canned garbanzo beans and they said they didn't have them, but they did (I found them). They couldn't find a mix that we asked for, but we later did. I was looking for fresh naan, but they only had frozen. So, I'm guessing they have the corner on Indian ingredients in Honolulu. The positive is that they carry a lot of the necessities for Indian cooking. They staff is friendly and they have a private parking lot.
