    Hawaii beer is expensive! $12.99 6 pack 6/22
    Vince Y.

    ABCs are the corner markets here everywhere. They are the staple like our drugstores in Cali but smaller by far. They have beach towels and any beach stuff you need, macadamia nuts, kona coffee, bentos, sandos, drinks etc. Prices are fairly high, esp on soda compared to CA. $3.99 a 2 liter or 6 pack soda $6.49 ( 7/22). But they are super convienient to get quick eats/drinks, needs or beach gear. They open until 11pm which is really helpful too.

    Who doesn't live ABC? The conveniency baby. And this store is one of the specific location that we love to go and check something new. This location has been for years and years. So convenient that if you want something to grab from snackin' to souvenirs or anything you need asap ABC is the key. They got the friendliest and efficient staffs here. Never underestimate this Superette ABC! (insert wink face) See yah later...

    I loved having this ABC right next to our Airbnb. They had everything we needed and staff were all awesome.

    Just like a mushroom ABC stores are everywhere in the island. Sometimes they were almost neighbors that it will make you think twice on where ABC store will you visit. I think you need to visit them all. Hahahah (insert funny silly face) ~ Located near Ala Moana Boulevard across MCdonald, this ABC Superette is pretty big and offers a more variety of options base on what you need. This is the most convenience amongst all. Just like most of the consumers, I also love this store coz they almost have all the stuffs that you need esp. from personal hygiene up to hot meals & to souvenirs. Convenient esp. amongst travelers/juanderers. ~ Open until midnight this store offers you great helpful stuffs. Customer service is fair. Others are simply snobbish while others are super nice. I must understand, coz this store also has a lot of people coming in-and-out in here and dealing with different kind of mankind is not an easy job. Of course this is a convenient store so don't expect to be cheap. Tbh their price is pretty high yet in this way, it will offer you retails instead of having bulks. Still, shopping in here is fun just like you're shopping at Target or any stores around. ~ Mahalo & HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers! #juanderbandit.world

    This ABC is like a mini grocery store combined with a souvenir shop and a liquor store all in one. It is right at the corner of Ala Moana & Hobron - I tell you this, because if you have been to Hawaii you know that in the touristy sections of town there are ABCs every 50 feet! Prices are what you would expect in Waikiki. They are high, but not outrageous. This place is nice because it is close to a lot of the condos so you can go get your milk, eggs, fruit and pick up a beach mat and hulu girl for your dash all in one spot!

    Located right on the corner

    I was totally loving this store when I was in Oahu this week. Conveniently located on Ala Moana Boulevard. It is a superstore. They have so many grocery products. All reasonably price. Like a little mini grocery store. However they did not have our favorite salad dressing. Which is a Hawaiian made Papaya dressing . But, you can find just about everything else you might need in a pinch. I did get the papaya dressing at Foodland ,which is just down the street a little bit. This ABC store has everything you would expect to find at other ABC's. But, even more. Always remember, save your receipts at ABC's you can get gifts for every hundred dollars you purchase and more . The staff here was fantastically helpful. I needed some Lilykoi candy. They went to the stock and opened some boxes and got me six out. Exactly what I needed. Love this store quick and convenient. Located right on the corner. The store has been here as long as I can remember. At least 20 to 25 years ago it was there. Remember to take your own bag or buy one for just $.15

    Now everyone knows what they are getting for their souvenirs.

    Stock Up This location was very conveniently located near the beach and our hotel. When on vacation I always love to turn my hotel room into a functioning bar. Doesn't everyone do that? If no, then why aren't you. You're on vacation and it's time to relax and mix up some cocktails. The store is larger then most ABC locations and stocks more items. It also has a ton of souvenirs if you plan on bringing stuff back for people. I did have to laugh at the Obama key chains. There was one of him playing a ukulele. Does he even play an instrument? I did buy myself a souvenir. There was this great bamboo cutting board shaped like a surf board that I totally needed for my bar in Chicago. There seems to be a theme in this review around adult beverages. I must still be in vacation mode. Not only are there souvenirs for your friends but this location contains packaged food and fresh fruits and vegetables. You can grab some snacks just in case for the room or beach. Let's not forget the wine, beer & spirits section. Yeah I grabbed stuff from all 3 adult beverage sections. I needed to be prepared for fun in the sun. I thought that the prices were not that bad for being on an island. I did see something really unusual. They have an air compressor behind the side counter and they will blow up the inflatable rafts for sale. How cool is that? I have never ever seen a store do that on any tropical island. I must say ABC does it right or at least this location does. So if you find yourself in an ABC store in Honolulu then pop in and stock up on drinks, snacks & souvenirs. The prices are not that bad and are much cheaper then buying things at your resort. Aloha my island friend and enjoy paradise in a convience store.

    Tako Poke!

She is so personable and a joy to speak with. She offers inexpensive breakfast bentos featuring white or fried rice, a fried egg and pieces of Portuguese sausage, bacon or frankfurter. The meat varies. It used to sell for $3 but now costs $4.50 (I think). It's still a deal and the containers are great! (We use them to hold leftovers.) During lunch she sets up an array of entrees ... Honey Walnut shrimp, Beef with Vegetables, Meat Jun, Spicy Chicken, Choi Sum, Vegetable Pancake ... the selection varies by day and she offers two or three starches. A two-choice plate ($9.75) comes with a choice of white rice, fried rice or noodles. You have to go early; she can run out of food by 12:30pm. I usually choose one chicken dish and a vegetable with fried rice or noodles. A co-worker always gets the Honey-Walnut shrimp. It's hard to find a better deal in a plate lunch in downtown Honolulu. Her drinks are "the deal", $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75, for large, larger and humongous. Add in the personable service and you have a winner! Hey, stay away, we don't want any more competition for her food. Highly recommended!

If you know what the cost of living in Hawaii is like, you know that produce, well, practically everything for that matter, is expensive. What caught my eye was the fresh sliced fruit in individual containers. If you buy fresh fruit, you know that prices can be ridiculous. The prices of their freshly sliced fruit are very reasonable and the portions are generous. The plastic containers are packed to the brim. Pioneer Pantry has become my go-to spot for fresh-sliced fruit. They also serve hot lunch items like spicy chicken, tofu, and noodles. There's a good variety of snacks such as chips, candy, and soda. Customer service is excellent and they accept mobile payment like Apple Pay and PayPal.

Whenever I am in the area or wanting to grab musubi for family or just ME, I make a stop here. Bonus, you get those musubi hot & fresh, if you don't see them on counter or the musubi you want is not available in egg with spam or just spam, only 2 varieties, mom or pop will make it right there for you. @$2.00 for spam only and I believe $2.45 for egg with spam. Located at Kukui Plaza tucked away in the back, you will have to walk pass few shops, to see the handwritten sign of " Best Musubi in Hawaii" posted on the door. Although there are bentos available & other goodies, I am mostly here for the delicious musubi. Why so good? My opinion, lets start with spam, perfectly cooked, with secret sauce, love the umami taste while I took my first bite, and the rice is hot & moist, not watery & not premium rice but it is still good, along with the nori. I loved everything about this musubi. Great spam to rice ratio. The only thing that I need is some of my chili spices! Mom & Pop is super friendly, I remember asking how many musubi's they sell a day and owner mentioned they make and sell over 100 a day. I usually park quick at the loading zone of Kukui Plaza, let the security know and walk over real quick to load up on my musubi(s). Don't forget cash only! Recommend, check it out and get your musubi fix or a quick and convenient lunch!

Every time I walk inside, there's a strong, unpleasant odor that smells like sewage or fecal matter. It's consistent enough that it doesn't feel like a one-off issue--it's something you notice immediately when you enter the store. At times it seems stronger in certain areas, which makes me wonder if it's coming from plumbing, floor drains, or possibly even outside air getting pulled in. What's frustrating is that this location used to feel like one of the better-run stores on the island. Now, the overall impression is very different. Even if the shelves are stocked and the staff is doing their job, the environment itself really affects the experience of shopping there. What stands out is the comparison with nearby stores like Safeway, which don't seem to have the same issue, even though they serve the same general area. That contrast makes the problem at this location even more noticeable. I hope management takes a serious look at it, because this doesn't feel like a minor cleanliness issue--it feels like an infrastructure or maintenance problem that's been left unresolved for too long. It's a shame, because the store has a lot of potential and used to be a go-to spot.
