    Don Quijote Honolulu is one of my favorite places to shop in Oʻahu! This store has everything fresh poke, sushi, Japanese snacks, Hawaiian souvenirs, cosmetics, groceries, and even household items. I came in looking for a few snacks and ended up spending over an hour exploring every aisle. The food section is amazing. The fresh sushi and bento boxes are affordable and delicious, making this a great stop for a quick meal. Prices are generally lower than many tourist shops, especially for souvenirs and local treats. If you love discovering unique Japanese products, this place is a must-visit. Open 24 hours too, which makes it incredibly convenient. Definitely worth adding to your Honolulu itinerary!

    Don Don Don Donki, is that how the song goes? hehe.. didn't hear song during this shopping trip but that always get stuck in my head when I am here. Small kid time I remember use to be Holiday Mart, then Daiei and now Don Quijote. I use to love shopping here with my parents for the dipped yogurt ice cream, I think they use to have an ice crem shop at the front of the store. During middle school days we would come here for Sanrio & Leigh's Wishing Well when laminated, personalized cards were popular. Now darn I try to avoid this shop, as much as I LOVE all the products, my wallet doesn't, hehe. I have a habit of buying every single thing. Lets talk about this recent visit, I only need 3 item which is mentaiko to make mentaiko pasta, bread to make garlic bread and natto since I needed a natto fix. I had to get out there quick and try not to stop at every section, hehe. Ended getting extra stuff but all good, I was happy with the extra goodies! Don Quijote does get crazy with parking, lines, feeling of clutter here but despite that I LOVE shopping here & the prices are low, if you can catch it on sale, even better! For someone that hasn't been to Japan, I am grateful that I can stock up on my Japanese products here. Also, I love that they have different fairs/theme every month, they carry products from specific city in Japan and even have samples too.

    You can't miss the signage.

    Donki is not a store. It is a side-quest. After dinner one evening, my twinsie, "Auntie" Nadine C., turned to me, whispering almost conspiratory, "Have you heard about Don Quijote?" Don Quixote? The titular protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes' 17th-century Spanish novel, often considered the first modern novel? No, not him. Side-quest unlocked: Go to Don Quijote to looks at Trader Joe's-like bags and peruse affordable macadamia nuts. Imagine if a Japanese convenience store, Costco, Walmart, Japanese pop culture, and a late-night snack gremlin all moved into one building and decided to co-habilitate. That's Don Quijote, or as locals lovingly know it: Donki. Don Quijote is Japanese discount megastore in Honolulu where you walk in for one bottle of water and somehow leave an hour later with Japanese cheesecake, body wash, a rice cooker, novelty socks, a plush penguin, Spam musubi, an ankle brace, and at least one item that made you say, "Well, I've never seen that before." Every aisle is an adventure. It's part grocery store, part pharmacy, part souvenir shop, part beauty supply, part snack paradise, and part "why are they selling this and why do I suddenly need it?" The shelves are packed to the ceiling, the signage is loud, the deals are good, and the whole place feels like a treasure hunt designed by someone who drank three Red Bull Kyoho Grapes and said, "More products! More fun! No empty shelf space!" The Honolulu location is also gloriously open 24 hours, which means it serves a very specific and beautiful type of chaos: jet-lagged tourists like myself, night owls craving Japanese curry, and people making questionable but spiritually necessary 1:11 a.m. purchases. TL;DR, Don Quijote is less of a store and more of an experience. A slightly overwhelming and delightfully unhinged retail adventure.

    Your one stop shop for everything Japanese. If you're visiting Waikiki, this is also a great place for souvenirs - especially for those Hawaiian treats and chocolates. Huge grocery store, tons of great produce, huge dry goods area, and endless options for baked goods and food to go. Wanted to highlight how affordable and delicious the hot bowls and bento boxes were. We got a few to go for the beach and it was perfect. Next time, I'll make sure to go here first before shopping for knick knacks elsewhere.

    Been going to this Don Quijote for a long time, even before it was a DQ and it was called Daiei/Holiday Mart. My grandparents lived nearby on Kanunu Street, so they took us there regularly for shopping or treats. For me, DQ is the mecca for nearly all things Japanese. Recently went there to pick up some yuzu honey for my sister, facial cleanser, shredded nori, chazuke mix, & furikake mix. Yes, a very ecclectic group but so Japanese! Always enjoy DQ's selection of grab and go items and mix of vendors in their food court outside! Now that I've achieved, ah shall we say senior status, I recently noted that DQ offers daily senior hours between 6-7 am and all day Tuesdays. Dealages! Will repeat and recommend!

    The grocery store is large in scale, and carry all kinds of daily essentials, skin care products, meat, vegetables, and other things you can image. I'm amazed with their variety choices of wine and alcohol selections. They made a mistake at checkout, but fixed fairly fast.

    I was introduced to Don Quijote during a recent trip to Tokyo and was excited to learn that there is one in Honolulu. This store is open 24/7 and is a single floor one stop shop warehouse sized store. Their offerings include, beauty products, food, pharmaceutical, clothing, souvenirs, alcohol, fresh produce, etc. I recommend allotting an hour to fully explore this store. Sidenote, I've heard locals refer to this store as "Donki." This is a good spot for poke, onigiri, deli, and bakery items. The sushi packs seemed to move quickly and I've observed staff constantly refilling the shelves with fresh packages. There's a deli counter with hot foods. I've stopped by to pick up sushi bowls, onigiri, and drinks before heading to the beach. This store has an extensive selection of souvenirs which were reasonably priced. There are outdoor food stalls located in front of the store. Parking in the front lot can get busy, however there is a dedicated multi floor parking area just across the street.

    Came here for the first time in 2024. Would have given it 4 or 5 stars but now dropped it to a 3 star. Reason being I have to agree that I think the prices have gone up due to shrinkflation/ inflation as someone else said. I guess one of the main reasons I really liked this place was that many of their items (I would say 90 percent) were made in Japan (not China as I would originally suspect) and reasonable priced still. I checked many of their items to see where the items were made this time. I would say 50 percent or more of the items are now from China... I don't want to go to a store that is marketed as Japanese and from Japan but is selling items from China - especially food items from China since their quality control and ethics is questionable. To be clear, the main items I looked at this time, were the Sanrio and the food sections. Last time, I looked at wider variety of items. They do still have an excellent selection of freshly prepared bento boxes and side dishes but they also have gone up in price I believe. We did still buy some bento as well as some mochi because we liked them as well as it is still more reasonably priced than going out to eat in Honolulu. I did notice this time, that there also seems to be more of a thieving problem this time. Saw many items opened, eaten and then placed back on shelf empty (not even sure why they even bothered putting it back). Seems like they need to step up security. One last note is that there may be different owners of this store and pearl city's store as they seem to have some differences in pricing. I do like this store better because it is larger, 24 hours, used to carry mostly items from Japan and they weren't selling expired items. The Pearl city location was selling many expired items in 2024 and old/ dingy at that time. However they seemed to have upgraded/ renovated their store currently (see review for Pearl city).

    Great deals. I'm just about everything. Did not know what I was getting myself into when I stepped into Don Quijote, someone told me to check it out. They had good Skincare, but when I went there, I found out they had everything Hawaii for souvenirs. They also had tons of grocery items I stocked up on hard to find items from Hawaii and they had a great sushi section. Great deal on chocolate macadamia gift boxes and also Hawaiian coffee. I also picked up some delicious, smelling soaps and body cream. They had a free parking lot right across the street and also a smaller parking lot in the same area where the store is located.

    Grab a rideshare and find your way to the closest American Don Quijote store. I wasn't a fan or even knew these stores existed but after visiting Japan , there is some fanfare waiting for everyone. This place is clean and just as big as the Japanese stores. Filled with eveything that mankind can create for all age groups. And if you're hungry there are endless sushi dishes ready to go. Hot foods are also available inside and directly outside the store. Makes one miss Japan itself. This will do for now.

    Wow! we stumbled upon this location while at the Convention Center. There's a large parking lot that was really busy. It appeared to be free. We parked at the Mall and walked over. There's a huge sign that says open 24 hours which is pretty cool. If you have ever been to Japan you are probably familiar with this store. It's huge ...like not as big as Walmart but very spacious for a unique specialty store. There's souvenirs, all things Japanese, cosmetic center, fresh fruits and vegetables, sushi , plate lunches ,and so much more. We got some sushi , a roasted sweet potato, American sunscreen , premium ceremonial matcha tea and avocados. It wasn't cheap or anything but random things we thought we needed. I could probably spend hours and hours there but we had other things we needed to get done. I plan to go back one day to check things out.

    A no frills grocery store that has a lot to offer - enough to deem it a tourist destination and a personal must go for us every time we visit. It's a fast casual meal, order inside, picnic tables lined up outside and other restaurants to try too (the Thai spot looked good!) The poke is flavorful, fish is soft and tastes fresh and the rice was seasoned well and still soft as well. I liked the mentaiko of the onigiri but the cheese was like a square strip of Brie? Not my personal favorite. Prices are pretty cheaper compared to brick and mortar poke spots. We also took home some chutoro negiri and the mentaiko pasta which were delicious!

    If you've ever visited Japan, you know all about Don Quijote. You know about the colorful decor, narrow aisles, multiple floors, the theme music that plays 24/7, and the fact that you can buy just about anything. I was surprised to see a location in Honolulu and wanted to check it out. Like the locations in Japan this store is also open 24/7. It's huge but does not have multiple floors and the aisles are wider. They have the classic penguin mascot out front but they don't play the repetitive music on the speakers. And like all DQs, they have everything: groceries, cosmetics, snacks, alcohol, and much much more. They even have an area for hot foods, poke, sushi, and nigiri. This is a good place to buy snacks and other souvenirs but is just another supermarket to shop in. It took me back to Japan for a little bit!

    Filipino snacks!

    Don Quijote Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Don Quijote

    If there a steak special on Saturday?

    Prime Rib by the pound in the deli (currently $25.99/lb.) Saturday only, but not all day. It is first come first served. Rib roast is usually brought out around 8:30-9:00am-ish. I've heard sometimes they sell out before lunchtime.

    Duplicate key maker?

    Are you asking if Don Quijote makes copies of keys? You may be better off going to a home improvement store or Walmart.

    What day is senior discount?

    Wednesdays. Must be over 60 years old

    Is this establishment still open as 24/7 since covid19?

    Yes! Don Quijote Honolulu is operating 24/7. You can enjoy overnight shopping, again.

    How often does the Andagi Tent is there and what time do they start selling?

    Da Andagi Guy usually pitches his tent on Wednesdays from 9:30am - 6pm.

    What time is the sushi & poke bowl available? Is it available at night like after 9pm?

    Aloha, Rosanna! Please give us a call at our store at (808) 973-4800 to double-check on the times. Someone will be happy to help you. Mahalo!

    Does it do cash back with a debit card?

    Yes it does

    Are the bentos & grab and go items stocked throughout the night? What about the deli?

    Some are but they generally are not hot anymore and are in the fridge.

    What time do they start discounting their cooked food?

    Per a worker there usually by 7pm.

    The store is 24 hours still right? Don't understand why they say all transactions must be completed by 12 am.

    They are open but they need to close out transactions from one day to the next.

    Are they pet-friendly?

    Service dogs only.

    Hey, do u guys hv Rohto C Cube Soft One Moist? Waiting for the reply. Thank you:)?

    Hello Sunny. I'm sorry, we do not carry this item.

    Does anyone know if this store carries Japanese Kit Kats in special flavours? Thanks

    I believe they do. I recall seeing them when I passed through the snack aisle. I didn't pay attention to the flavors. You might want to give them a call just to make sure they have in stock.

    Has anyone seen Japanese sticker bug repellent for kids at any of the Don Q locations on island?

    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.

    The second location of One 2 Buy in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. It's on the west end of the…read morecenter, near McDonalds. Plenty of parking on that side. 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.
