Ramen station.

Just came from the newest Cu Hawaii located on Kapahuluu next door to Leonard Bakery . I was very disappointed I was hungry so I purchased their tuna mayo musubi that was in the warmer . The rice was hard and crunchy so it was wasted . I also purchased their apple turnover and the apples were tart which I like sweet apple pie turnover. So another epic fail. I guess next time I visit a CU Hawaii only chips or snacks other than that I'm saving my money . Service was very friendly and welcoming. I guess this Korean stores need to take notes from 7-11 how to warm up Musubi lol . I had no problem finding parking I guess the hype is over because everyone was posting that parking is hard there .

So nice to CU... You know I was surprised to see them in Kapahulu as much as lots of newbies have arrive many old school still remains the same here and had no idea when the Kapolei spot left to make room for this new CU location. Yes this is right beside the famous Leonard's bakery so the congestion will grow amongst this residential community but how wonderful to have them here for them as well as the snacks galore is a welcome sight bringing an even brighter spot on this part of Kapahulu which is down the street from Crane Park. They still don't have their hot food items yet but will soon but you can still the many other items like the ramen wall, snacks, treats and the menu cool drinks from smoothies to grab and go items. The service is very friendly though today is their very first day I can see this spot will be popular for all ages and already see it's so nice to CU in Kapahulu. Thank you!

I've enjoyed going to 1-2 Buy since they were in their old, warehouse-like location. Now they're in…read morea shiny new space that is more like a normal store with shelves. I always come here "just to look," but end up with a gigantic, branded reusable bag filled to the brim with imported Asian snacks. Many Chinese products, but also Korean, Japanese, Thai, etc. Snacks range from exotic chip flavors to candies and sodas. Further back you'll find more substantial instant noodle meals. The Chinese ones are actually great and are way more complex ingredients-wise than your standard instant noodle. Also in the back are Chinese cooking ingredients such as sauces and dry goods, but my favorite is the super thick, wide glass noodles that I use for hot pot. There's also a small section with Asian toiletry products that I've personally never tried. I must say it feels like there is less variety of items since they moved locations. Some snacks are repeated in different spots on the shelves to make it look like there's more variety. My favorite latiao that I used to get at their old location is no longer available. :( I'll keep coming back regularly because they're always getting new items in stock.

Hooray! One 2 Buy has added price tags to most of the items!…read more A number of items I looked at had English nutrition labels as well. Not everything, but it's a great improvement. The back of the store now has lights on. You can see in the back of the store. You no longer need to be apprehensive about venturing in the back of the previously unlit store. There is air conditioning, however, it doesn't seem to work well. I was in here for ten minutes and perspiring due to humidity and heat. I asked the one employee if she was uncomfortable in working in this heat. She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

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? But here and save then going to an ABC store or other tourist trap. Mahalo!

Am I in Japan or Hawaii? This one took me back in the best way possible…read more Just seeing that there was a Don Q in Honolulu got me excited and I knew I'd make it here at some point. I decided to do the long walk from Waikiki down to the store, and I was so rewarded for the effort. Walking up and the row of epic restaurant stalls had me grinning from ear to ear. There were so many delicious options OUTSIDE the store that I almost never made it in. From handrolls featuring the freshest seafood from Hokkaido to wagyu kushiyaki and more, my mouth was watering seeing it all beautifully displayed in the windows, and I'm surprised no one said anything about my gawking. Don Q is such a fun store because they have anything and everything you can think of across nearly every category. If I said they're like the Japanese Walmart, it wouldn't hit quite right because the quality and breadth of the selections here are far better. My favorite part of visiting Don Q has to be the incredible array of Asian specialty ingredients and snacks they sell and the reasonable prices. I picked up some gifts here including some exceptional styles of furikake and togarashi, but saw way too many other things I wanted. They also have amazing prepared foods here, specifically Japanese items. There's an entire sushi counter featuring all cuts of bluefin and more, freshly made onigiri, great selection of bentos and and poké too! You really owe it to yourself to visit!

My husband and I decided to come here to grab some snacks for our TRYday, and we had so much fun…read morewalking through the aisles looking at different snacks and drinks! You know those snack boxes that people sell online with snacks from Japan or wherever? I'd imagine just grabbing a bunch of these snacks and candies and curating your own box lol You can tell that they're still setting up, but there was still enough to keep us intrigued! We initially said we didn't need a cart, but we were so wrong. We grabbed some random snacks just to try and review with each other, and compare them to the ones here in the States! We grabbed almost a cartful of snacks... not even ashamed to say it, but the total came to around $43, which to me wasn't that bad. All in all, we're gonna come back again or even check out the one on the other side of town!

This store is spacious, bright, and new. Everything is very organized and easy spot the price. Compared to the main store, this one has mainly snacks and edible items, but a lot of more fragrance and cosmetic items. We even found some items cheaper at this store. The weird thing about this store is the flooring is not level. About 8 feet from the windows toward the parking lot, the floor slants down, so your cart will run away or you might feel a little dizzy from the imbalance. Overall, a nice spacious and clean store with a good amount of Asian snacks and food items. A nice addition to the neighborhood. No need to go into town now for these things. Cashiers were nice and friendly. Besides the unleveled floor, this is a more comfortable place to shop compared to the main store.
