We had planned a full day out and figured we'd grab a snack for the road. On the recommendation of a friend, we opted for musubi. I don't recall the exact flavor, I believe longanisa, and it was unexpectedly good. The ratio of meat to rice and the price were good. This was the only item we got but it was cool to see the variety of snacks in the store. read more

Part of the tourist experience if you hail from the Midwest is visiting a local 7-11. For those of you who are local, 7-11s in the American Midwest ( between the East and West Coast, the Great Plains, the Great Lakes, big post-industrial cities and disappearing farmland) where 7-11s are place of horrendous coffee, insulting service, dirty public restrooms, and botulism. But 7-11s in Hawai'i have fresh coffee, friendly service, and awesome local taste snack foods. Some of the best Spam Musubi is found in Hawai'ian 7-Elevens. It's like they are not even the same corporation. Still open all the time. Instead of the "I'll help who's next in line," and "have a nice rest of your day," the woman working here actually talked to me like I'm a human being albeit in local Pidgin (which made it seem even friendlier). Mahalo! read more

Blasting music on a JBL speaker. Weird music... I tried to just shop really quick and get out. But that music was so annoying I had to just leave. No hate on their taste of music. But very unprofessional to be blasting it as loud as they possibly could. Won't be coming back to this location. read more

Hawaii 7-Elevens are the best! This one had a variety of different Hawaiian foods such as rolls, musubis, filled steamed buns and entrees. All are reasonably priced. They also have Slurpees with Hawaiian flavors. Only downside is they do not do 7-Eleven rewards but their unique products definitely make up for that. read more

7-Eleven Hawaii - Different slurpee flavors. - Convenience Stores Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

If you ever have midnight, munchies or need an early breakfast snack, this place is literally one of the only places that are open 24 hours a day seven days a week. Their selection of local snacks is among my favorite. Slurpee's are in a nice way to refresh on a very hot day. However, I do vote that they should bring back the piña colada flavor, which I haven't seen in what feels like decades. The Char Samanna pool is that you can get near the register or one of my favorites. read more

I hate to say that 7/11 is the best thing on this island but it truly is. So many selections of onigiris and rolls and local noodle bowls help confirm that you can't beat the value and the taste of the convenience store. This is a solid stopping place before the next hike or beach day without breaking the bank. read more

Now I see why people rave and crave a 7-Eleven. This place was magical and only makes me want to see the ones outside of the United States. Moment I walk in, I immediately went to the refrigerated/hot foods section that displayed nothing but perfect bites and meals for such a low low price. Sushi rolls, musubis, oniguris, rice bowls, noodle bowls, chicken karaage, dim sums, hand rolls, baos, and everything that would satisfy your tummy with yum yums. Their packaging was also special with the separating the seaweed and the filling, and you open it in a way that allows you to assemble the roll (as sterile as possible). This allows for peak crunch and no moisture on the seaweed. Genius packaging. A must try for me was this inarizushi that is topped with ahi tuna. The flavors were so good together and it was super filling. Bless the people who were there for me on Christmas morning. I only hope that their shift was smooth and east and they are compensated well for holiday hours. Overall place is well lit and clean. Plenty of parking and good vibes all around. 24/7. PLEASE TAKE ME BACK! read more

Ahhh, 7-Eleven. I can't possibly express to you how integral this particular 7-Eleven has been to the lives of Waiakea High School students for decades. A short walk down the street from the high school and university, this 7-Eleven sees probably the most traffic of any on the island. Inundated by hungry teenagers and young adults from the hours of 2:00pm-4:00pm, this place has seen everything. And while the bar for quality is admittedly quite low for its general patronage, this little 7-Eleven is solid for what it is. 7-Eleven's fare is actually perfectly tailored to this location's primary client-base. Smallish snacks that range from about $1.50 to $5.00. It's the perfect pricepoint to take advantage of a high schooler or college student's pocket change. Serving things ranging from bags of chips to sugary drinks to spam musubis to a wide variety of manapuas (I STRONGLY recommend the curry chicken manapua), they've perfected the formula. Also a very underrated service provided by this and every other 7-Eleven, gift cards galore. Got you a special event that you completely forgot about until an hour beforehand? Trust me, nothing says 'thoughtful gift' like an iTunes gift card. Trust me... If there is one gripe I have with 7-Eleven, it's that the 99 cent Arizona Iced Tea that was such a staple in my childhood is now like $1.30. And I'm sorry, but that is absolutely criminal. Seriously. Somebody needs to answer for this. I'm not trying to be extra or anything, but a few months in prison wouldn't be the worst thing. Just saying! Anyway, this 7-Eleven is special to me and even though it's basically the same as any other 7-Eleven, it's a good one! Edit: The photos posted by the business for this 7-Eleven (and I assume all the rest of them) are trying way too hard. Own that you're selling garbage food for high school kids. We all know anyway. read more

7-11 spam musubis are classic must-haves when visiting Hawaii. You can choose your musubis from the refrigerated or hot food section next to the check-out counter. There are regular musubis (~$1.99) and deluxe musubis (~$2+). The hot food musubis are perfect when you want something warm and delicious for your belly. I've noticed that 7-11 musubis consistently have the best spam to rice to sauce ratio vs musubis you get elsewhere. The deluxe spam & egg musubi is solid. The rice is soft and you get a thick cut of spam to tide over with. I really enjoyed the spam katsu musubi. It's deliciously crispy and glazed with savory katsu sauce. There are also many other musubi choices, so pick whatever calls out to your soul. There's also a hot shelf of manapua (buns aka baos). The Char Siu (BBQ pork) manapua is lightly sweet and contains a satisfactory portion of meat. It's perfect as a car ride treat. So many choices, so little time. If you're on the East side of the island, make sure to swing by a 7-11 & try all the cool snacks they offer :) read more

A typical 7-Eleven? I think not. As soon as you walk in the doors - walk straight towards the sushi. My friends and I all got different sushi rolls and they were all so delicious. So fresh, so amazing, breathtaking. A must have in Hilo. And can you believe this deliciousness was less than $2?! On a budget? Come have dinner in 7-eleven. read more

7-Eleven Hawaii - Convenience Stores Near Me - Hilo, Hawaii

The rest of the employees have always given me noticeably incredible customer service and the store is always well stocked and clean but this one star review is for the employee Chrystal specifically. I asked if I could use EBT on my purchase and I guess the answer was yes and that it was an inconvenience for her because she did not answer, angrily turned the card paying terminal to me, then stared me down while I paid and left. Yikes. read more

Another 7-11 location for consistently yummy food. Only issue I have is outside parking lot gets pretty sketchy at night especially during the later hours. read more

I would say it's as good as ABC. Very different from 7-Elevens I've ever been to. I was really hesitant to try the sushi because gas station sushi has a bit of a stigma back in New England. Everything was amazing and at great prices. If you're looking to save money on your trip to the big island, go to 7-Eleven for quick snacks or full meals; you won't regret it! read more

Super close to Hawaii Community College in case you need a bottle of green tea or swig of coconut water. Be forewarned that it's tough to resist temptation from all of the sweet and savory treats. An array of hand rolls are available to choose from to break the monotony of continental breakfast options. Spicy tuna lovers, you're in for a treat because there's a whole stack of them waiting to be claimed. The drink selection is vast and you'll find what you need to perk up for that next meeting. Coconut water, iced tea, or even diesel-charged energy drinks. read more

MMMM Musubi! I wanted some Spam Musubi, and had a hard time finding it. I used Yelp to find this store, and was even more surprised that the prices are actually quite good, and the Musubi was reasonably good... maybe a bit too much rice to spam ratio, a thicker slice of Spam would have made it much better. read more

This location has the friendliest staff no matter what time you go. I'm always greeted as I enter and they are quick to help you at the register when checking out. read more
