The Food Pantry offers a great selection of hot meals, meals on-the-go, fresh produce, frozen items, as well as beverages. I found their grapes to be super fresh, and the beverages that they had on sale were extremely competitive in pricing. Staff here were very friendly, and the checkout line is quick and efficient. Definitely a great place to pick up some quick meals or snacks! +competitive pricing +friendly staff

Had a flight in two hours and came here to get all my food for the airport! Started the morning with musubi and got some curry chicken and poke bowls

I really liked this Market especially the customer service. The workers were really nice. I got a crunch roll and hot spam masabi. The prices were great. They let me sample a few things. Clean and nice assortment of things. I would definitely go back when I visit again

My local food pantry is incredible. The ladies and gentlemen that work there are just that. Always happy always greeting clients with a warm smile and a good day. The air conditioning is always cold and there's often a security posted as we do have quite a bit of homeless and mentally ill in the neighborhood. Staff are always helpful in finding whatever you need the fresh bakery goods and sushi are made daily.

They barely provide what people need. Most workers are lazy, especially the ones in the deli section. I said, "hello" twice to a lady there, but she was too busy playing with her phone and she had her gloves on. Really? That's normal there. I just walked off this time.

Great neighborhood grocery store. Very well managed and super clean. For a smaller store it has very good selections of products including produce, meats, dairy, wine, beer and frozen foods. I particularly like the array of prepared hot foods and sushi from the deli. In the morning, they have hot breakfast items like eggs, sausage, rice bentos and in the afternoons and evenings they usually have hot bentos and whole or half roasted chicken. Lots of metered parking on both sides of street.

Thirteen minutes from tiki nest, ain't bad esp. if I got a chance to take a juanderful (wonderful) landscape of Ala Wai Canal & promenade. It's like a fotowalk for me! Got bunches of archives with the canal already for a span of 1 1/2 year. Anyhow... Yes! Food pantry is one of my go-to easy lunch & snacking. I personally haven't do grocery in here coz the price is so steep & not of that much variety to choose for. But on the other side, it offers you stuffs that a convenient store don't have. Most staffs are Filipinos. Some are kind & some are rude. Some are cool & some don't care. But most esp. they sure are one of the most hardworking pep's in this area. Hearing them talk in Tagalog/Bisaya makes me feel at home. I remember Metro Hypermarket & Colonnade Supermarket way back home. At times, homeless people come & go. Tbh, way back home every mall or grocery store we have has a designated guard on the entrance & exit. They help the place to be more wholesome & peaceful for other shoppers as possible. And guess what? Homeless people ain't allowed & no one ever step foot inside. Feel a bit secure though coz some homeless way back they're also kuku. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow yelpers! @hello.juanderbandit www.juanderbandit.world

Different sushi's freshly made!

This place is a quick walk from the Ramada plaza Wyndham hotel. They have fresh produce (veggies and fruits), dairy, meats, frozen foods, and a sushi chef who makes fresh sushi to purchase. We have been coming here for many years whenever we are in town. I pick up the sushi trays of California rolls, tuna and salmon sushi's, and buy yogurt and berries, and ingredients for salads if you like to make your own salads as opposed to ready made packaged salads. They have other grocery items if you need them. Conveniently located!

ABC Market - Local dragonfruit, full of flavor

ABC Market

2.6 mi•Chinatown

Great local market in the heart of Chinatown…read more The fresh Hawaiian papayas and dragonfruit were so delicious. Perfect for breakfast on the hotel balcony. The papayas were around 2 for $3. Everything is weighed to determine the price. Bring cash and a reusable grocery bag. Enjoy!

During our weekly marketing jaunt into Chinatown, we went to the O'ahu Market to get some Chinese…read moreroasted meats since my husband had been asking me to make one of his favorite dishes... stir fried bitter melon with roast pork in black bean sauce. Upon approach to our fave Chinese roasters, I noticed ABC Market with its fresh locally (some imported) grown fruits and vegetables displays. ABC Market has been in O'ahu Market's stall #25 for some time now but it took me until today to stop, browse and make a purchase. As I browsed through the fruits and produce, I managed to purchase a couple of Hawaiian papayas, green onions and bitter melon. The papayas are still green but I don't usually buy ripe papayas because they ripen quite quickly so these will ripen over the next couple of days. But, the green onions aka scallions and bitter melon were fresh looking and priced competitively with the other nearby fruit and vegetable vendors. The cashier was soft spoken as she weighed our papayas and then the bitter melon before telling us how much to pay. Our total bill only came up $6.25. I don't think that this vendor takes credit or debit cards as most vendors in Chinatown are CASH ONLY. She packed our papayas, scallions and bitter melons in separate plastic bags which made it easier for us to put into our Yelp reusable tote bag. We'll be back either in a couple of days as I was eyeing the soursop and egg fruits but didn't get them today since we walked into town and didn't want to lug home too heavy bags.

One of my fondest childhood memories is going to Tamashiro Market with my dad…read more When we lived in Kalihi, this was our usual spot. And even after we moved, we would still drive out just to come here for the seafood. That's how special it was to us. The reason why he chose Tamashiro over other grocery stores was simple--it was quality and because of my Nanay (grandma). His mom purchased from here and made so many delicious dishes. He knew what to look for, and he trusted this place. For him, it wasn't just about buying food... it was about getting the best for his family. My dad isn't the type to say "I love you." He shows it. One of the biggest ways he showed love was through his cooking. Even after a long day on his feet cooking for others, he would come home and cook for us. That was his way of taking care of us. I loved coming here with him. It was a five-senses overload--the smell of fresh seafood, the sound of people talking story, the colors of fish on display. Back then when you were allowed to sample a grape or poke to make sure it was good before buying. But more than that, it was time with him. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw the pink building with the huge crab. I thought back then was to look at everything but now I understand that it meant something more..... something special--time with my dad. It's with a sad heart that Tamishiro Market is now closed. Thank you, Tamashiro, for providing quality food and memories for so many years. You were more than a market--you were part of my childhood

Goodbye to another Hawaii landmark! Tamashiro Market is closing its doors on April 30, 2026…read more FPO and I went the Sunday before for one last tour of the legendary fish market. It looked the same as it did the first time I went with my grandfather. I picked up a couple pounds of dry aku for my favorite sister and some tee shirts as memorabilia. It was pretty busy and I expect that will continue until They close. Still, the people were nice and very helpful. I'm really going to miss it!

Grocery shopping in Chinatown, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Located on Kekaulike Street - between King Street and Hotel Street - Kekaulike Market is one of the "go to" places for fresh produce and fresh meats and seafood. Today, I was looking for a pineapple for my mom, but, unfortunately, didn't find any. However, I did see items such as locally caught fish packed in ice, clean chicken feet in refrigerated cases, and tables full of colorful vegetables and fruits! The variety is overwhelming! There are many vendors inside of the air conditioned market and even more stalls right outside the market's doors - all along the wall! Just take your time and compare prices. Bring tote bags ...and cash for better bargaining power! Remember that metered street parking is free on Sundays and holidays. If you're early, you can get free parking on King Street. If not, the municipal parking lots have reasonable parking rates.

I've been shopping in Kekaulike market since the late seventies and have experienced the change…read moreover the years. I used to limit my spending to $10 while shopping for dinner for my wife and I. There will be a lot of things I will miss in the future of Kekaulike Market. I stop by Chow's Seafood and Meat Market to buy Chinese fishcake which is one of the only stalls that sell it now. The stall. might not look like the most sterile place to shop but the fishcake is very good. The fishcake is a raw paste that you could use in any number of dishes. It sells for about $8 a pound but it stretches the budget and you get a lot of fishcake dumplings in one pound.
