    garlic salmon
    Vivian T.

    the line is relatively long and it's pretty packed. If you are in waikiki you need to get it. I got the looks by the pound and LOVED it. It was worth the wait. The fish is so fresh and seasoned to perfection! And you can get samples of you are unsure of which fish to get, but the lines are fast, so try to eye the menu and pick what you want fast.

    The poke here is good for the price! You get a ticket in the back and wait for your number. I got spicy salmon, fresh salmon, and one of the ahi poke. The worker was friendly and gave me input on what to get. This grocery store was a little busy. We got several snacks. I was sad I could not find the pineapple gummies here. Was hoping to buy them here rather than an ABC store.

    The poke here is soo fresh and there's so many options! It's quite packed but ordering is quick - you get an order number. You can try a few prior to picking but try to plan ahead so you have an idea of what you want when they call your number. I really loved the spicy ahi tuna - it was so flavorful and delicious!! The wasabi tuna was also yummy. It wasn't fishy at all. It's located in a grocery mart so there's a lot of drink options too.

    Stopped by Foodland and picked up a half-pound of limu ahi poke, and it absolutely hit the spot. The ticketed counter went by fast, so it's always a nice spot to stop by especially when in a rush. The poke tasted incredibly fresh, with nice big chunks of ahi and just the right amount of saltiness from the limu. Simple, clean flavors done right, exactly what you want from good poke. Would definitely get this flavor again and honestly a must have at the beach!

    Foodland poke is hands down the best poke for the price. I'd even argue that it could be the best pork regardless of price. They have over 10 different flavors to choose from. My personal favorite is the spicy mayo ahi because of how creamy it is. The fish melts when you eat it. Every other poke spot in Hawaii will typically range anywhere from 20-40 dollars per pound, so coming here will be 10-15 dollars a pound, which is much more affordable.

    The poke alone makes this a 5 star establishment. I love all the fresh items available.

    Nice grocery store, when I arrive it was not too packed. The main thing I went for was for the poke and wow it was so smooth and packed with flavor! They have multiple flavors, and when paying our cashier asked me to put my number in and I got the store discounts so that was nice.

    Foodland is great because they offer so many different types of poke in one place. Plus, the parking was super easy and stress-free. While the Ahi (tuna) was fresh, it wasn't a world of difference from the high-quality poke you can find in Los Angeles. It's a solid choice for a quick meal but I know there are more delicious poke-specific shops around the island.

    coconut water

    This Foodland is very much a cross between Safeway and Sprouts/Whole Foods if you're from California based on the products and layout. They have a great deal on the best coconut water I've ever had (Foodland brand coconut water with pulp, better than fresh imo) for $1.50 each if you buy two. My salmon shoyu poke was $12, a little too salty and there wasn't enough rice. My brother got half and half salmon and ahi, was happy that he got very large scoops, and then had to double-take at the $20 price. The workers didn't say anything beforehand, but according to him they gave him too much fish so there's nothing to complain about. Onto the negatives, the breadfruit they had was very moldy, and there was once a dog right at the poke counter sniffing all the ready made containers.

    Hawaiian style salmon/ahi poke bowl  ~22 bucks

    TLDR: 4.7 some of the best and freshest poke I've ever had. I don't usually like tuna poke but this was crazy good. Mid onigiri. This place came highly recommended by friends and Reddit threads alike. Located inside a grocery store with a large selection of flavors. They use a ticketing system so you can grab a number and look at the selection without having to wait in a line. Very generous with samples as well, the lady behind the counter gave me 4 samples without me even asking, she just heard me talking to my wife about what flavors looked good. Ended up getting Hawaiian style salmon and ahi. Best ahi poke I've had in America, super clean bite, just very flavorful and fresh tasting. Same was true with salmon which I generally prefer but the tuna might've been better here. Don't bother with the salmon kombu onigiri it was very dry and lacking in flavor. They give you chopsticks at checkout and there's a little area you can sit and eat near the entrance of foodland. Did end up at around 22 dollars which is a bit pricy, but I felt like it was worth the quality. I split it with my wife and we left fairly satisfied.

    Excellent prices and many selections of poke! I ordered the spicy Hawaiian poke. But the creamy spicy one tastes the best. This is a great clean store with good lighting.

    This grocery store felt a little divey. However their poke selection in their deli was amazing!! So many great choices, and the price was very reasonable. The workers were quiet and kept to them selves. We did self check out. Overall 9/10

    Parking Lot

    One of the oldest and smallest parking lot on the island. Always busy!!! Selection is good with well stocked shelves. The workers are very happy to help you and always have a smile with aloha!!! The poke bar is always busy!!! The produce are always fresh with many selections.

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.

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!
