This supermarket is perfectly located in Kihei to do a quick run for a fresh poke bowl. They offer great variety of bowls at a decent price. Supermarket has everything you expect for it to have but prices are a little higher of course than sometimes Safeway and Walmart. Service is ok, not much to expect from the staff. They are just foing their job. It was missing a few items we were looking for even though it was early in the morning around 830am. Place is clean but it does look a bit worn down.

Why do you even need to search for a poke restaurant when there is Foodland. Their pokes were the best among all the pokes I have tried this trip. They also carries various unique snacks and delicious alcohol beverages. Highly recommended!

Love love love the poke here! Our go to during our visit here, we probably came here 3-4 times in the week that we were here. The poke here is really fresh and they have tons of selections. Our favorites: Kpop salmon (slightly spicy/sweet, and even tasted almost meaty with the marinade) shoyu ahi, and the California roll ahi. Don't skip out on the seaweed salad and the Mac salad (from the hot foods section). I got both a half pound as well as their bowls, and they PACK the bowls with poke. Definitely a great option if you want rice. Lines were never super long during lunch. No outdoor seating, but there is a park right across the street.

This Foodland is historic for me, as it marked my 100th grocery store rotisserie chicken of the year. It just worked out that we took a family vacation right when I was set to hit the century mark. I could sit here and gush about this whole journey and how much it has meant to me, how it took me from 2k IG followers to 111k, and how it genuinely did change my life, but I've done that enough on other reviews. I'm going to let it rest. A whole tissi ran $12.29 and it ended up landing at 8.8/10, which ranks it a respectable 16th out of 100 grocery store tissis I've tried. I also got the poke from here, which was PHENOMENAL. The spicy garlic ahi went insane. I never thought I'd be using these adjectives to describe grocery store fish, but Hawaii is built different. On my 3rd trip to Foodland in 10 days, I ended up trying every musubi they had as I've never seen another grocery store that sells musubis. It got me thinking about how much I love a regional grocery store, as they give you a granular look into the local culture. I learned a lot. I learned that spam musubis are so popular in Hawaii because during WWII, fresh meat was scarce as Hawaiian shipping lines were disrupted and the US Military brought in large quantities of spam. Hawaiians began creatively incorporating it into local cuisine... interesting facts like these always send me down the craziest rabbit holes. Anyways, shoutout to Foodland. They are running a great operation in here. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

I visited a different Foodland everyday on my visit to Maui. At this location, I grabbed a beet poke bowl for my plane ride home and I also tried the by the pound breakfast. I tried the rice, egg, and Portuguese sausage. It was average tasting, but I like the by the pound price as my breakfast was around $4.00 and I didn't have to worry about having left overs. Good service and easy parking. Please come and create your own adventure.

The Musubi display (8/26/25)

Loved Foodland in Kihei back in July 2015, and definitely over multiple visits late August 2025 a decade later. Nice, well stocked store and used by locals and visitors alike. Pleasant staff too! The Homie and I liked the deli/hot food section, cold beverages, and items available to supplement what's needed at the condo. Pro tip: join the MaiKai membership program. Purchases add up to significant savings and freebies.

Foodland is a great place to get fresh and delicious tasting poke! It's well stocked and clean. Everyone is really friendly. Plenty of parking!

Teresa A.

Such a neat grocery store and I love the variety of baked goods and hot food choices. Definitely stocked up on some treats for my time in Maui! I prefer the hot foods here compared to the ABC store. Friendly staff. I had to get some of the Ube crinkle cookies. Would highly recommend to check out. Prices wont break the bank and yes they have masubi and a cool poke bar!

Edamame
J C.

Wonderful poke - we recommend the spicy ahi. Also the store made edamame is amazing. The poke sometimes goes on sale later in the evening.

Shrimp, octopus, and scallop poke
Kenny L.

Honestly the best poke I've ever had hands down. I tried it twice here and the 2nd time was even better. The scallops are amongst the freshest and tastiest I've had. I also thoroughly enjoyed everything else such as the ahi and octopus. We tried it both with rice and some wonton chips and I preferred it with rice, but the chips were a nice change.

Easter to find off s Kihei road. Private parking lot which is nice. Be sure to grab a cart outside if you need one. Sign up for their rewards program there are bargains for being a member. They have a great poke bar in the back with helpful clerks to help you make a decision. On Fridays they have $6 specials-if you're a member of their rewards program. Great deals in the deli that day also, clerks there are super helpful if you have any questions. They charge for bags so you need to bring your own if you want to save a few cents. Happy shopping

Enjoying poke on the beach
Jennifer M.

If your in Maui, please try the poke from foodland!!! I went to a few other places and i kept wishing I just went back to foodland instead. During my one week trip I had to of come here Atleast 3 or 4 times. Everytime I got something different and there was nothing i didn't like. Oh and go enjoy it on the beach. Makes it 10 times better!

Spicy mayo and Hawaiian specialty
Samantha C.

I came here 4 times before finally getting my poke!!! The first time, being tourists, we didn't know the poke was located in the back so I only looked in the front. The second time, the couple in front of us took the last pound of poke. The third time, it was too early and they didn't have the poke ready yet. But finally the fourth time we got it!! The spicy mayo poke is the BEST I've ever had. The Hawaiian specialty was ok since the texture was a little too much for us. It's also in bigger chunks so the mouthfeel is off. Would come back just for the spicy mayo.

The fish is a fried blend of Mahi Mahi and Ono, cooked perfectly--crispy, flavorful, and delicious with the pineapple pico. The tortillas are packed with fish; you can easily make two tacos out of one. Absolutely a must‑try. Poke Nachos The Poke Nachos were great. We ordered the spicy poke with a mayo base. The chips were solid, though the dish could use some jalapeño or serrano to kick up the heat. Tiger Sauce Their homemade tiger sauce is sweet, spicy, and slightly vinegary--really tasty. Drinks They serve Kona Brewing Co. on tap. The Lemongrass Luau is excellent.

They sell only locally-caught fish which changes daily. For poke there are only two options: traditional and spicy. We got one of each ($22 each) and I preferred the traditional as it was saltier and had more flavor. I'm used to seeing more than just two flavors but it's fine. What I didn't like was that the rice in my bowl was hard like it had been out for a while. The other bowl was fine so I'm not sure what happened there. $46 total for two bowls seems like a higher price than normal for sushi, and the spicy one was just okay. Note that there is a 3% charge for using card.

The mochiko chicken was nice and crispy on the outside, and I really liked the crunchy bits sprinkled on top, which added some extra texture. However, the chicken itself was extremely bland and barely had any flavor. I was expecting something spicy and well seasoned, and it really could have used a LOT more sauce to give it some flavor. The garlic shrimp was probably the better of the two dishes. The shrimp had a nice garlicky flavor, but I really didn't like that they were fried with the shells on. It made them pretty difficult and messy to eat because you have to peel off the shell while trying not to lose all the garlic, seasoning, and crispy breading stuck to it. The mac salad was decent but nothing special. It was a little bland for my taste, and I wish there had been more potato mixed in since the potato was the element with the most flavor. Another downside is that there was absolutely no seating, so you'll need to plan on taking your food elsewhere to eat. This was pretty inconvenient, especially if you're not staying nearby and want to enjoy them while they're fresh. The cashier also wasn't particularly friendly, which didn't help the overall experience. Overall, I think this place is a bit overhyped. The food wasn't terrible, but the mochiko chicken really missed the mark in terms of flavor, and between the lack of seating and service, I didn't think the experience was worth the hype.

I've been to the Monkeypod kitchen in Ko'Olina, Oahu, and I have nothing but positives to say about that location. When my father wanted to take the family to this particular location on Maui I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we were severely let down. When we sat down, main server asked me probably 3-4 times if I wanted anything other than water, and finally I caved and got a maI tai. After I finished it, he asked me another 3-4 times if I wanted another one, despite me telling him I was good after the first one. I appreciate attentive service, but the guy was incessant and trying to upsell us. As far as dinner goes, Food started to trickle out slowly over the next 5-10 minutes, and it was clear that the kitchen wasn't organized. I ordered the bulgogi tacos, one of my favorites at the other location. Unfortunately, they were lukewarm. The worst part was, they completely forgot about my father, who only ordered fries, and when he received them, they were lukewarm, limp and soggy. After my father asked for the tab, he noticed there wasn't a mandatory tip included for the wait staff, but there was actually a separate 4% tip for the kitchen. Since when is this a thing? How about you pay your kitchen a livable wage and quit putting it on the customers? So my father refused the pre-selected 20% tip and tried to put in a "custom" tip of 16% of the bill, which when added to the 4% would have been a total of 20% - in my opinion pretty generous, considering the lackluster service. Here's where it got bad. The server was practically breathing down his neck while he entered his tip, and when he was handed the payment gizmo because it wouldn't take the tip amount, loudly exclaimed "That's not enough!" and then threw it down on the table and stormed off. How demeaning and embarrassing! Is this how you treat customers here? I helped my mortified father figure out how to make the machine accept his tip (despite my suggestion that we drop the amount down to a penny) and we left without another word. Monkeypod, shame on you for: - embarrassing my father, who is a very generous man, - employing wait staff that openly demeans their customers, - serving us mediocre, lukewarm food, - and demanding an extra 4% for the kitchen that didn't take any pride in what they made. What a shame.
