There's no doubt that Foodland is more expensive than Costco, but it's convenient and it's got yummy food so I give it 5 stars. You can easily grab a box of squid for fishing bait, grab a variety of poke options (with free samples), and even get prepared catered Hawaiian foods if you're hosting a big event. Yes, it's a grocery store, but it's got local flair, like when they had those fun poke and musubi themed beach towels. As I mentioned before though, it's more expensive than Costco though. I made the mistake recently of seeing there was a "big sale" on oranges so I grabbed 3 as an impulse buy. It was painful to see that those on sale oranges were $7, whereas I could've gotten more oranges for the same price as Costco. But like I said, it's convenient. If you live in Kailua, it's worth not having to drive all the way to town for food. read more

We drop by this Foodland whenever we hike at Pillbox or goto Lanikai beach. This Foodland has everything you need and we especially enjoyed the poke. It was fresh and delicious. The person working the poke counter was fast and patient with us tourists. The store was large and clean. Also, try the butter mochi. You won't regret it. Make sure you sign up for their Maika'i membership before you head to Hawaii. It gives you discounts on their items by entering your phone number at the cashier. read more

Foodland has one of the freshest, quickest, tastiest poke on the island. Poke here tops any poke I've had on the mainland, and is so customizable! You cannot go wrong with any of the poke here, but I would completely recommend any of the spicy options. They provide a perfect kick with immense flavor, and is a great snack to enjoy at the beach or right after the beach! This is a must have if you're visiting the islands. read more

Staff was rude at the poke area, staff was great at the register area. Overall poke was better at another food land.

Foodland is NOW my go to grocery store; I've been very satisfied with their products and friendly vibe from the staff. Also, it is all about supporting locally and giving back. Good bye SFWY, NO good vibe and NO customer service... read more

Hubs received an instacart order as a get well gif including 2 containers of strawberries. I had the kiddies with me that day so before we picked up our orders for sushi and cold noodles from 2 shops in this shopping center we started here first. All we needed was brown sugar. Bud can read now so he found the section with sugars. He showed me the dark brown sugar box. I said, "Let's get the light one." So fast he found the correct one. In the afternoon after our one hour quiet time( no tv; no iPad games, only nap or read a book) we had chilled fresh strawberries with light brown sugar and whipped cream. Sweetie thought it was the cat's meow cuz the smile on her face as she took her first bite- precious! read more

Foodland has a great selection of delicious poke for a reasonable price. The poke is what brings me in. The customer service behind the counter is terrible though! The man who works the counter is ALWAYS rude and discourteous. I try to kill him with kindness. Maybe one day he'll crack a smile, or maybe not. read more

We ordered a large fresh fish poke bowl. We considered the previously frozen one but we figured since we were in Hawaii, we gotta go for the fresh. The fresh poke bowl with 2 choices of fresh came out to be $21.99. We choose the fresh secret spicy ahi poke and the fresh shoyu ahi. I'd rate this a solid 8/10 for poke as a whole and a 10/10 for supermarket poke. The fish was not as buttery as ones you can get at a restaurant / small poke shop but you could tell from biting into it that the fish was fresh. It was probably because of how they mass produce it that it feels different than getting in from a poke shop. It was not chewy or had any discoloration or slimy features. This Foodlands location had SO MANY options for fresh and previously frozen poke. The person working behind the counter was friendly, funny and definitely kept the line moving, which was greatly appreciated. We ended up getting a previously frozen poke bowl a few days later. It came out to be $10.99 for 2 choices of fish. We got the same two types of poke (secret spicy and shoyu) but with the previously frozen ahi instead. We rated this a 7/10. The texture was a lot chewer that the fresh fish. The flavor profiles were about the same. The color of the fish looked different compared to the fresh fish. This was a lot more pink than the fresh frozen one. Overall, a solid convenient choice for poke in Oahu especially due to the variety and ease of multiple locations alone! You can't go wrong with either choices! read more

All things local! Best poke on Oahu! Beautiful flowers, and house plants and lei! Coffee bean is reason enough!

Just tried to eat their Korean Drumstick special. Very generous serving of 6 drumsticks for $6. However, they were almost inedible. Over cooked and completely dried out with little to no flavor. Would recommend if starving - but only then. read more

This rating is more so for the worker rather than the store itself. Went to get poke around noon on Sunday nov 30th and the worker at the poke was extremely rude. Originally I asked for one bowl and someone in the group I was with changed their mind and wanted one as well. He ended up making a huge deal about me originally saying 1 and how its easier and faster if I would had just said 2 and now I "changed my mind". Keep in mind there was only one other person behind us and he was acting as if there was a lunch rush. I usually don't care for writing yelp reviews but this dude put a bad taste in everyone's mouth. Other than that the food was great. read more

I've heard so much about Foodland, so it was the first stop that I hit once I landed in Hawai'i (I'm from the Mainland). While it's your typically grocery store (where you can also get beach supplies, if needed!), I came for the poke. They have a HUGE selection of different kinds of poke and ready-to-eat seafood, including but not limited to: crab, clams, and oysters. I got the spicy ahi poke and a salmon poke, and they were delicious, fresh, and filling. The sauces/marinade were flavorful and unique. The staff working here were also so sweet and kept offering free samples of haupia, which was delicious. Definitely a great stop. read more

We heard foodland poke is TOP! So we had to pick some up to snack on by the beach. When we were in line, one of the locals said the "California" was their go-to, so I had to give that one a try. It was BOMB!!! Probably one of my favorites! The octopus one is also pretty good, give that one a shot if you like octopus :) We also got a side of rice and some chips- perfect combo!!! read more

The older Hawaiian person at the poke counter with the neck tattoos might be the most miserable person I have ever come across. He holds up the line to take joy in roasting tourists for pronouncing "poke" wrong. (02/20/25 around 5:30 pm) He's incredibly rude about everything. He yells at every tourist and tries to make them feel stupid. He caused a really long line because he had to make his statements about everything they asked for. He clearly doesn't like tourists, which is fine. Find a job that doesn't include them. Made the whole line uncomfortable, and it gets even worse when he doesn't know the codes for a lot of the products. I'm really hoping he's a new hire because he ruined the poke experience for at least 25 people standing in line while he attacked customers. I think he should be drug tested read more

I really like this location for poke! They have a lot of tuna flavors here (: my favorite was the maui onion!

doing an around the island trip and stopped by for poke before heading back west. uncle franklin & all the workers helping us out were so funny and a highlight in my family's day. needed 7 poke bowls & service was very quick with a side of jokes. there was already a line, but aside from our family the other worker was able to get thru it pretty quickly. thanks to those uncles for the great service! edit: just seen some posts about the uncle i was talking about. wouldn't say he was rude to customers, in fact just a way for him to make small talk. seen him doing the same with other customers (tourist & local) before ours but they were laughing as well. read more

Best poke bowls! Head into the grocery store and on the right hand side you'll see the deli section where they sell poke bowls! You are able to taste test the poke, so take your time and pick your favorite! I asked the attendant what the better poke options of the day were and he was really helpful explaining the different types!! I will always recommend this spot to anyone who is a poke fan. read more

Great poke, with many varieties and choices at a very reasonable price. Plus you get to pick up groceries while you are there since it is after all a grocery store. read more

High quality, affordable poke! Each time I visit Foodland, I walk straight to the poke counter. There's hardly ever a line, so it's super convenient! The salmon and ahi are fresh and tender, and the sauces are deeply flavorful. Combined, the resulting poke is *chef's kiss.* There's ample flavors and proteins to choose from. Workers are laid back and friendly. The store overall is clean and organized. We always walk out of Foodland with happy tummies! read more

Foodland will fulfill your basic grocery needs, but it's the hot food section and poke variety that win me over! It's so convenient to pick up good food for a quick meal or picnic on the beach. Highlights were poke, salt and vinegar wings, spam musubi, and gummy candies (3D pineapples, sour lychee, li hing covered ones). The poke obviously won't be the best that you'll ever find on the island, but it was pretty good for supermarket poke. I was definitely tempted by the ube cake slices, mochi options, and macadamia nut ice cream though, and apparently, you can find Ted's Bakery haupia pies here sometimes. They also sell adorable little tote bags with illustrations of spam musubi and pineapples. There's just no way you can visit Hawaii without going to Foodland! read more

WOW!!! Dropped some dimes on the Big Island tenderloin steak and it was DELICIOUS!! Also it was about $10 less per pound than Whole Foods, from da mainland!

This grocery store is amazing when it comes to fresh poke. Like your usual market, they have everything offered. But the main things that is always a line is the seafood counter, which basically is poke. And poke they have, so many choices to choose from. As well as priced very well compared to other places. They also have the hot food section as well, and sushi counter. But mainly always makes a stop for poke. read more

I loveeeeee Food Land!!! I look at this as the Hawaii version of Whole Foods. This location is very clean and organized. The staff are very nice and helpful. Out of all sections in the store, my favorite section is the hot meals and POKE SECTION! OH YEAHHH! I have never been to a local grocery store that had good quality hot meals to buy. You definitely need to get some containers of Poke, they have so many combinations. I love getting the Shoyu Tuna Poke with Avocado, ugh i wish I could have some right now. Kailua Beach is right near by, so my family and I always stop by to grab few stuff to make a picnic at the beach :))) Parking is good here. read more

Foodland is always a go to spot for Poke! They have an assortment of flavors but my go to spicy ahi. You can request for a poke bowl which comes with rice or you can ask for a specific weight of poke. Usually 1/2 a pound is just enough for me! The poke tastes so fresh and buttery, I always crave it read more

Literally the BEST poke we've ever eaten. My favorite girl behind the counter made sure to get us a sample of each and bear amount per size cup not too expensively packed to discover our favorites. Tried many others all over including other foodlands and nothing has compared. And who doesn't love Kailua? read more

My family has been coming to Foodland ever since I was a young girl. We often opt to go to Foodland over Whole Foods or Safeway for specific types of produce. They always have a worker at the door who greets you with a smile and they supply alcohol wipes so you can wipe your cart handle down upon entry. The fruits and vegetables at Foodland are fresh and affordable, especially if you have the Maika'i card. However, I've recently started to price some of the other items there such as chicken thighs and milk (specifically Lactaid - lactose free milk). I'm not going to lie... you are definitely better off getting some items a different store. The chicken thighs were pretty expensive (more than $10 for a pack of 4 or less), and the Lactaid price was outrageously high. A large (2.8L/96oz) of Lactaid was $10.29... You can get the same one for around $5 at Target. There is a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf connected to this location that serves various caffeinated drinks. In addition, there is a wine shop (R. Field Wine Co) that offers a wide variety of fancy wines, crackers, and cheeses. Overall, Foodland is a local favorite. They have a great produce section and some really tasty poke. However, the meats and dairy items are rather expensive compared to some other grocery stores in Kailua, so be cautious about what you're putting in your cart! read more

I was on my way to Kailua beach and decided to drop by this Foodland for some poke. If you are looking for a great place for poke, this is the place! If you go in the morning they have mounds of all kinds of poke to select from. I highly recommend getting their ahi shoyu poke - very fresh and flavorful. You won't be disappointed. Of mention, if you want a cake fix, they also have a good selection of individual slices of chantilly, ube and guava cakes. They also have a wide variety of goods for bringing back to the mainland for gift giving. I love this place!! read more

Foodland is our favorite local grocery chain. On a recent holoholo to Kailua, we needed to grab some items for both our day and to take home. This location is in the shopping center area at the center of town near Big City Diner. There are lots of dining options and other shopping around, which means the older parking lot is sometimes too full. The store itself is kept to the high quality of the other locations - well organized, selection of national and local brands, great produce, and friendly customer service. We love the Mai'kai Card rewards for Hawaiian Miles. The store was somewhat busy, but the checkout lines didn't take long. If you're a visitor or local, this is a great option for groceries at good prices. read more
