OMFG -- there needs to be one of these EVERYWHERE. The musubi was SO good. I ended up getting about five of them plus a drink and still spent under $20, which honestly feels unheard of these days. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and every bite was ridiculously good. I was basically having a food-gasm the entire time. Affordable, fresh, delicious, and dangerously easy to keep ordering more. I'm already wishing there was one closer to me. 10/10, would absolutely come back. read more

We used to love this location, but unfortunately, the poke has gone down in quality. The fresh ahi limu is $29.99/lb, but it didn't taste fresh. The fish had a slimy texture, and on two separate occasions, I had diarrhea after eating it. The Pearl City location offers $13.99/lb poke made with tuna from Vietnam, and it tasted the same to me as the $29.99/lb poke here. The seasoning has also been inconsistent. One day the poke was overly salty, while another day it was lacking in salt. On a positive note, the papaya and pineapple were good. Also, buy fresh ogo seaweed in the back near the fish department to add to the poke. Also, the kalua pork burrito was just meh. read more

I come here for the poke. That is all. The poke here is THE BEST. And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like fish! Somehow, Foodland has me out here willingly eating poke and actually craving it. If I'm eating poke, just know it's probably from Foodland. read more

Foodland poke is our jam. Super reasonably priced. Always fresh and this particular store had so many flavors. The guy serving us was hard of hearing and spoke over us as we ordered. He was super friendly but the communication was bad. That meant he messed up some of our orders. We weren't willing to keep working to try to sort out the misunderstandings lol. We were content with what we got and enjoyed our poke with chicken skin! Try it! read more

Maybe because I'm not from Hawaii, but this Foodland was amazing. Loved everything there. Butter mochi, spam musubi, hawaiian snacks!! Nothing beats the great selection of poke in the back. We got 8 different kinds, and the guy behind the counter was right, all of the spicy ones were the best. They had a huge selection of hawaiian drinks and super fun recycle bags to take home. Perfect short trip when staying at the Disney Aulani hotel. read more

While we were waiting for our hotel room to be ready we decided to head to the grocery store to pick up supplies at the famous Foodland supermarket, which is a must-stop anytime visiting Hawaii. First thing we noticed was that the prices here were way more affordable than Maui. We went to costco beforehand because we didn't want to pay inflated prices for things like water and liquor but honestly it was pretty comparable. Of course we had to get the poke here. They have so many options and flavors that you really can't go wrong. We asked the guy behind the counter what he recommended and he had just made a fresh batch of their spicy poke which was delicious. We also got the californian poke, but that was just alright in comparison to the spicy poke he made. I think the trick here is to just ask what's the freshest and go with that. While the poke gets a lot of love at Foodland, the low key superstar is their fried chicken. Warm, cold, room temperature, it's hella good. We tried their salt and vinegar wings and their garlic fried chicken, and it was some of the best bites on the entire trip. Definitely don't skip out on this on your next trip to Foodland! read more

I come here just for the Poke and mochi! I don't eat raw fish but I do in Hawaii and only the poke at Foodland! It's just fresh and I like the texture. Oh and the mochi super soft and not so sweet. It just all so good. read more

Foodland is a great place to buy things for potluck, so fast and easy to grab and go. Decided to buy donuts and was so disappointed and not to mention embarrassing when it was time to eat. The donuts were so hard and tough as if it was sitting overnight. Bought a 12 pack that's was already on display thinking it was gonna be fresh (bought it at 7am) but to my surprise they were dry and tough! They are usually great with quality but this time around it was disappointing! read more

I usually have a good experience at Foodland, but I was pretty disappointed with these short ribs. The meat on top looked really good with a normal amount of fat, but once I opened the package, I was surprised to see that a majority of what was HIDDEN underneath was THICK FAT. I understand short ribs are supposed to have fat, but this was a lot more than I expected based on what I could see when I bought it. Just think it was "strategically packaged". At $6/lb, I just wish the packaging showed more of what I was actually paying for. More than 50% of the ribs was fat but I couldn't tell until I opened it. read more

We stopped here for some snacks for our hotel as soon as we arrived to Oahu! We were so impressed by this amazing store. There are so many fresh options of local and authentic food! The store was very well kept, the employees were so welcoming, they have super cute bags that i had to bring home a bunch! The prices were really good and i was surprised as how expensive people say food is in Hawaii. read more

Shopping in Kapolei, O'ahu, Hawai'i... I actually went to this Foodland because there's a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf inside! I also had to use the restroom... At Customer Service, the pleasant clerk called a worker to escorted me to the back... It was an employees only area. It was almost like a maze, but it was a necessity! Thank you! Since I was there, I looked at the new promotional bags... mango, guava, and lychee paintings... hmmm... I also looked at the famous poke, cute plushies, fresh produce, greeting cards, SPAM merchandise, etc. Thanks for a clean, spacious, organized environment! read more

Foodland - Dat Maui wowie - Grocery Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

This is the closest Foodland for if you are staying at the Ko'olina area. Kapolei is a short drive and Foodland has so many cool things that we absolutely love coming here. Our favorite finds here: 1. Poke 2. Hot lunch bento boxes including chicken and rice for $8.99 3. Shrimp chips 4. Cute tote bags 5. Li Hing Mui snacks I highly recommend! read more

Whenever we visit the islands, our first stop is inevitably Foodland to pick up our beloved poke, Roselani's Haupia ice cream, Manoa chocolate bars, and snacks. But this time, whoever made the poke, it tasted like no one cared -- the pieces were cut irregular and not uniform in size, the taste was bland, and the Friday special shrimp poke was tasteless, as well. Whatever happened, we did not return for the duration of our trip nor are we likely to return. While we had a sad experience in Kapolei, I would still return to the Foodland in Lahaina, Maui. read more

Went to Foodland Kapolei this morning for a "few" items. As always, the store is pristine, clean and orderly. Without hesitation, we made a beeline straight to the Poke Department. Loaded up on our favorites including: California Roll Poke, Fresh Spicy Ahi, Salmon Poke, etc. The Staff was very friendly and helpful with us. They also have a huge Wine and Spirits section that fit anyone's tastes and needs. Fresh grub, great location check out Foodland Kapolei and load up on the stuff you need. Aloha Foodland! read more

If you're staying in the Ko Olina area, I highly recommend checking out Foodland, especially for their fantastic selection of premade food--particularly their poke, which is made fresh daily! Be sure to sign up for their Makai rewards program so you can enjoy discounts and get the best local prices. In my opinion, Foodland surpasses Vons in quality and variety. If you're watching your budget, keep an eye out for the weekly ads at both stores; they're conveniently located near each other. FYI - Parking is super tight! read more

Poke heaven, and deep fried chicken skin served with a small cup of Patis & Vinegar for dipping. Anyone visiting Hawaii needs to put Foodland on their bucket list. The guys know how to make Poke. We had one pound of Limu-Soy Poke and one pound of Maui Onion & Mayonnaise Sriracha sauce, some ONO! Broke da mouth. On the way out of the store we passed by a table with plastic containers filled with Deep Fried Chicken Skin. Picked up the only small dish left on the table and it was still around $8.00 -/+. Driving to our Aunty's home in Ko Olina, the smell of the Chicken Skin was driving me crazy. Couldn't wait to get to the condo. The staff at Foodland are always helpful and provide excellent customer service. Friendliness are their trademarks. read more

My favorite Foodland when staying out West side, Always make a stop to this Foodland location ( Kapolei) for the good stuff. During Super Bowl when we stay out in Ko'olina, its a much needed stop for alchohol, poke, chips, last minute stuff for the game! & this most recent visit was during July 4th! Thank you for staying open! It was late after 8 pm, after day of swimming we didn't have plans for dinner. Stopped here to get container of spicy poke and King Crab Poke. I had the crab on my mind while enjoying my day of relaxing. On the way there, I was worried they wouldn't have any poke/crab left. Yay I got our goods! I loved this Foodland, huge, very organized. I glanced really quick at front of store , gift and plant section, since I might end up buying plants and cute trinkets. The poke section is all the way in the back, if its super busy - you will have to pull a number to be be served. The cashier are friendly and quick, I never had problems with my purchase. The lines do get long but I noticed there are more registers opened up when it gets packed. Back at the hotel and my family are sure enjoying the poke and the crab for me, make sure the pot of rice is cooked! hehe. If you haven't tried the king crab poke, you are missing out! This is my favorite @29.99 lb, so worth it! Super buttery, tender and delicately sweet, they are pre-cut, huge size legs, so good with rice! Ask for extra butter sauce, I know so buttery bad for you but its so good! I hope this is a regular item! Thank you @Foodland = Food, Family, Friends, & Aloha! Yep. Yes. I Agree!! read more

Food lover heaven... Located in Kapolei Village Center this Foodland is stunning as it's obviously new but the layout is nice and roomy with each section has a huge sign so you know if you're heading in the right direction with Bake Shop, Butcher and of Poke just to name a few they also have R.Field Wine Company right in the middle where you're able to find various cured meats and condiments along with cigars as well. All this in a grocery store where you're still able to find all your necessities and I do love that they carry many local items to support our small amazing biz along with the most fun and expressive eco shopping tote bags that I do have a difficult time resisting, Foodland is a place to find the usual and unusual items making it easy to get everything that you need. Thank you! read more

I adore foodland and this location is one of my faves since it's so close to my office. It's easy to navigate - not super crowded and has evertyhing you need. Totally off-topic, but one of my favorite Covid memories was a visit to foodland after I heard that everything was going to shut down. Yes, a rumor that spread way too quickly and was ridiculous, but it gave me the excuse to have a crazy shopping spree at Foodland -. Pasta, frozen meat, rice, anything even if they weren't on sale! Normal visits to this spot are still fun - sometimes I find random deals like maika'i Mac and cheese on clearance; $6 Friday deals, $6 Kalua pork deals, $6 sweet potato pie (my coworkers weren't fans but my husband loved it!), and yummy poke, of course. And one of my favorite parts of foodland is that it is a local business that supports our community and offers products we love. I adore their kaki mochi snacks, adorable bags and bowls, and musubi and poke treats. read more

Love this local grocery. Has the basics but their hot food and poke bar is so great. We always visit when here for vacation

If you're going to Hawaii, please don't pass on this spot! I heard that Foodland Poke was good, but I did not expect it to be great! My boyfriend and I came through 3x in our 1 week stay because it was sooooo good! I love the variety available here and the quality is fresh! I expected it to be a little low quality because it was around $8 - $12 for a bowl, but I was definitely wrong. I may even say this is better than some of the more well-known Poke places in Honolulu. read more

Foodland - Grocery Near Me - Kapolei, Hawaii

This Foodland is near a Foodland Farms, but it is a great alternative. Pricing is fair and competitive with other grocery stores in the Kapolei area. I choose to come here in place of Foodland Farms at times when I need more basic ingredients or items. Parking can be tough at times because it's a small space for so many businesses, but the plus side is you can also find street parking if necessary. read more

10/12/23 - This review is for the Foodland at Kapolei. We purchased the fried chicken thighs on special ($17.99/10 pc... reg $2.99/ea). I've purchased the same fried chicken at the Kailua Foodland which was cooked perfectly. The chicken thighs were breading was crispy and tasty. The meat was tender as chicken thighs dark meat should be. Unfortunately, the fried chicken at the Foodland in Kapolei was inedible. The chicken was extremely over cooked, and the meat was very, very dry (see pic). I wanted to return it, and should have. It was a waste of $18+ dollars. read more

OK so everyone under the sun says to come to Foodland for great poke at a great price and indeed!! Everything we got was so good and the locals are super excited to share with you their favorites!

I love this food-land usually. EXCEPT The young girl behind the bar where the food and sushi is was ignorant. I go here all the time and get a tray of just sushi ginger and she wouldn't do it. First she said "I don't know where the ginger is" when it was clearly right there labeled "Ginger" then she kept saying "I don't know how to do it". Long story short. IGNORANT. You shouldn't be behind the counter if you can't help with simple stuff like that. read more

This Foodland location has it all! They have a great selection of food she drinks. The store is very clean and organized. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

If I'm ever back in Kapolei and need food and drinks...this will be the grocery store I'll be going to. The only thing I could minutely complain is they need more parking. But I can totally understand why their parking lot is full. This Foodland is a good one to go too. read more

Came in today for some produce for dinner. When I entered, I was greeted by a nice security person. He is always so nice and helpful. I walked into the produce section finding all of the vegetables that I needed. This Foodland has good fresh produce and it's rare that I find bad produce. They have a great bakery section and love that they sell individual cupcakes in separate containers for birthdays. I think that's pretty awesome! They are always stocked with lots of fried chicken and salt and vinegar wings especially when there is a line. Their poke counter is always busy when I'm there, but the employees are always friendly and patient with the long lines. The poke selection is big and tastes good! It is located in a great location which is in a strip mall with many different restaurants and close to the hotels in the area for tourists. They also have a coffee bean & tea leaf inside which is plus and good sales and decent prices. This is my go to grocery store! read more
