    The place for it all... Some come just for a single item I leave with items I had no intention of picking up though with the priced friendly option especially when you need more than what your regular shops have it is nice to have it at the price you can afford. This Hawaii Kai Towne Center location is nice as it's not as crowded but then again parking situation here is very minimal since it is shared with many other biz in the area. They frequently have their book sale which makes it even more affordable while I like though since this isn't my regular location finding items was a bit more of struggle but with large signage makes it easier for find what you need. ' It's just too bad that this area doesn't have the Costco Gasoline Station and hope that there will possible be one in the future but they do have their food court that we all love to enjoy along with many other services as well. Thank you!

    I don't usually shop late at Costco but since I was in the area, I decided to stop by to grab a few things. One of the things needed was the Mac nuts for baking. I could not find them until Kathy went out of her way to help me. People like Kathy make it so worth shopping at Costco HK. Kudos to Kathy

    Costco is the place to get good deals in Hawaii. They have swimming gear, shirts, and more. I bought some Kona coffee at a better price than most places.

    Long line before opening on a Sunday

    There's a long line before opening on a Sunday. They have a lot of beach gear which is great. The food court is outside and it was probably one of the worst chicken bakes I've ever eaten. The bread still tasted very doughy and the chicken filling tasted disgusting. I've been eating them for 20+ years and always finished them. I ate this one half way and had to throw it away! 2 out of 3 soda machines had no ice. The Pepsi came out warm.

    Fountain selection.

    We've shopped at many Costco in the continental US and the Hawaii Kai location is the most busiest. The store is clean and the shelves are well stocked. The local products available are fantastic that's not available anywhere else on the mainland. The cashiers are always friendly and helpful to our needs. The only thing that can be improved is to make the parking stalls bigger. The lot fills up very quickly before opening. Aloha and Mahalo for providing your excellent service.

    They sell turmeric here! It's wayyyyyyy cheaper than Whole Foods too!

    ***This long overdue review is for Costco's Hearing Aid Center.*** About 9 years ago, I had a medical issue & upon getting treated, I lost most of my hearing on my right side. Although it's a bummer that I am partially deaf now, on da bright side, at least I am alive & not dead! Buwahahahahahaha! At first when my hearing went out, I originally thought I had water in my ear, or maybe a build up of wax in the ear. Upon talking with my primary doctor, and trying some over the counter stuff, of course it didn't help my situation, so I ended up seeing a ENT = ear nose throat doctor. Unfortunate for me, after going through some light surgery to try & restore my hearing, the surgery wasn't successful, and now I'm partially deaf. What to do? Costco Hearing Aid Center my friends. Yes, if you go to the Hawaii Kai Costco, they have a hearing aid center and I was fortunate enough to get some help from a wonderful audio clerk named - Scott. I've had my hearing aid for just over 5 years now, and only now I finally ran into an issue with my hearing aid, as it broke. Today, I went back to Costco Hawaii Kai to see what my options were, for my hearing aid dilemma. Unfortunately Scott is not longer working at Costco hearing aid center, but I was fortunate enough to have Victoria help me today, as she was able to fix my hearing aid in less than 15 minutes. I originally thought I'd have to shell out another $1500 for a new hearing aid, but I guess the issue was very fixable. I am very grateful for Costco's hearing aid center, and of course 5 stars to Victoria for the great service! Should I ever be in need of a new hearing aid, I'll be sure to come back here to Costco hearing aid center one day.

    Best $3.99 Caesars Salad ever! Highly recommend!!

    The road and entrances leading up to this Costco location need some work. Potholes and uneven roads galor. Parking lot also needs some work. Awkward, not enough stalls, not enough cart returns, and all the roads are two-way so expect some traffic. The store itself is arranged like any other Costco. Impressive things include their liquor availability (wines, vodkas, and endless spirits), their snack selection, and their cosmetics. Checkout lines were long yet quick! Stood for less than 10 minutes before getting to the front. Self check out option available if you want to. All-in-all, will come back!

    Costco is shopping on steroids. Executive members can get in an hour early at 9 a.m. (I haven't tried it yet, but it sounds like the only way to dodge the parking madness). Inside you'll find everything--TVs, glasses and eye exams, hearing aids, appliances, bulk foods, alcohol, pastries, steaks, and yes, even those giant Halloween skeletons for your lawn. There's a whole section of chocolate macadamia nuts perfect for omiyage, plus great deals on gift cards. Parking fills up fast, and with no windows inside, you'll lose track of time--but it's bright and well-organized. Downside: bulk produce can be hit or miss. I've brought home my share of bad fruit and veggies, so check the bags before buying. Oh and there's the Costco Travel! Great vacation deals! On the side of the store, there's the famous--pizza, sundaes, chicken bakes, and the legendary $1.50 hot dog combo. Best part? You don't even need a membership to grab something from there.

    Costco is in full swing for thanksgiving!! Lots of holiday ready made dishes for an easy thanksgiving. The turkey aaa $0.99/lb today (11/16/24). We had fun going from sample to sample with the kids. The selection is always nice and plentiful. Prices are great if the item is on sale. The staff are quick to get you through the lines.

    *This review is for the food court only. Costco recently started selling a massive double chocolate chunk cookie for $2.49. It's all over social media and after seeing a review from Fran C. I had to check it out. The cookie was indeed huge and served warm. It was slightly crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It wasn't as sweet as I. thought it would be and had a decent amount of chocolate chunks in there. I would definitely get it again. We also got a chocolate ice cream sundae for $2.49. You spread some of the ice cream on the cookie and it's perfect.

I haven't tried their hot and ready foods, but the foods that we get to cook with are top notch in quality and value. Hubs is one of those guys who will drive the cart and add what he sees and wants to try, so when I just need one or two things, I leave him home. What can I say, sometimes willy nilly shopping can get expensive! The staff are all friendly and helpful and they have spotlighted areas in Japan which rotate regularly. If you want to know what area they are spotlighting, I suggest getting on the digital mailer so you can see the sales and specials. If you are a fan of wagyu and kurobota pork, this is your spot. When I make sweet and sour spare ribs, this is the only place that I can find the ribs cut long way (makes for more meat and easier eating). If you are a fan of hot pot, they have soups ready to go. They also have veggies and noodles premade and all the cuts of meat for that shabu shabu experience.

The door is to the left of the building and is actually the Will Call area though they do have a lot of shelves to display their inventory which does include cleaning chemicals, food containers, gloves and many items that you just don't see like foam trays. Their clearance section items starts from $0.50 with sale items from $1 finding items for your event doesn't have to be pricey. Thank you!

Like a game of musical chairs, we circle until someone vacates a spot. Then, there is a wait for carts, unless you grab one from an exiting customer. Inside the aisles are wide (thankfully).

It's certainly not surprising for the highest grossing, busiest Costco location in the world. What is surprising is just how quickly the checkout process can be, even with the huge number of people in line with the huge carts and dollies. The cashiers and assistants have the process down to a science, and no matter how long the line is, you're typically out in less than 15 minutes. Finding everything you need is always tricky, due to their practice of constantly moving items, and not having aisle numbers. If you can find an employee tho, they're very knowledgeable, and always happy to let you know if a specific item is in stock, and even help you locate it in the maze. Of course, you almost never leave with just the items you actually came in for. It's funny (or maddening) that on this trip, I had budgeted to buy $200 worth of durable food items to donate to the Hawaii Foodbank. Along the way I picked up just a couple off items for myself, and when I checked out, the total was $300. Typical, I guess. Once you're done, remembering where you parked (that's a whole other story) is another thing, but at least you're done. No wonder I usually only come here for the gas, lol.
