I love this store. They have the only hamburger that I will eat from this island. every time I go in, they're very helpful and since I'm a senior, they go out of their way to make sure I'm comfortable and get my groceries to my car. Their food, including their meat, fish and produce is always so fresh. I love this store woo hoo. read more

This Foodland salad bar is very sophisticated and I could eat it every day. I mean I grabbed the watercress tofu salad and the beet salad with purple potatoes. As dessert I grabbed some li hing pineapple. The poke bar always has a great selection! Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Overpriced and lacks real value. Here is an example, if they are going to sell upscale products at a higher price offer a public bathroom and sell cold craft beer. That is just for starters. read more

Foodland Pukalani has been my #1 foodland here in Maui, I live close to Kahului and Kehalani foodland (Literally in between) and I would drive all the way to pukalani foodland specifically for poke! Lol cheap and good! And they have more variety than other Foodland here in Maui. Service here is so good too very friendly, and approachable. They also make you try their new products without asking This foodland is clean and organized they also has Starbucks next door read more

I have been going to this store for almost my entire life. If you live up country you know what I mean. It is one of few stores left in makawao or Pukalani that has decent prices. It saves you from having to go downtown. They have pretty good poke and the poke bowls are affordable. They also have a pretty good offering as far as the deli and hot food go. I feel like this location is better than most of the other Foodland's on the island. I can say for sure that the Kailua pig Friday special is better from this Foodland than the other. I have tried it from almost all of them and it tastes better and they give you decent portions. Plus the ladies are a lot friendlier than Kahului and Lahaina. Only the Kihei location is as friendly. I feel like they have more offering in the meat department. My only complaint is that they closed the pharmacy and now I have to go to Longs for my prescriptions. They just redid the store interior recently and they did a good job with it. Definitely looks newer in the store overall it is nice to have a decent store upcountry. read more

We loved this stop. We were hungry after a hike and I had heard of Foodland before. Of course, the poke station was filled with people waiting! No wonder. They have a good selection. Got the California roll poke and a spicy kind. It tasted very fresh and the rice was good. Staff were so nice! Loved it. They have a lot of items too. Very clean. read more

Much Appreciation for many organic choices especially living up- country. Foodland Pukalani Rocks !

Standard Foodland fare. I stopped here in the middle of a long work day in the field to grab an energy boost and a quick bite. Ended up getting a sugarfree Red Bull and a plain bagel. I was supremely surprised about how good the bagel tasted and was also very happy that the Red Bull was on sale :) Lines were reasonable. read more

This is the first stop when I visited Maui and this was some delicious poke! Didn't know what to order and asked for recommendation and the worker was so sweet and recommended onion crisp & spicy ahi hawaiian and it was such a nice combination! This foodland poke tasted fresh and the fish meat was very soft. It was easy to chew through and the flavor was on point! Definitely recommend! read more

If you live in upcountry this is one of the few grocery stores. They are pricey for sure but have great prepared food options, poke bar, musubi and bento, pizzas, fried chicken. The cashiers are full of aloha and you feel welcome. They get plenty shopping bag designs too so if you like to collect em all, this is a good spot. Parking is easily available. read more

It's Hawaii and it's like ABC store local. Groceries is fine and dandy but the poke is actually very good, especially a poke bowl. Love this place and can't get enough of it. read more

I've been to this Upcountry Foodland numerous times over the years when I lived on Maui and whenever I go back 2-3 times a year to visit my 'ohana. I laugh when people say Kahului or town is "too far". Huh? It's a mere 12 to 15 minute drive. That's nothing especially if you've lived on the Mainland for more than a decade and a half. What? Oh no! Time to think about moving back home. The workers for the most part are not friendly. At all. They barely crack a smile. My husband always goes and buys a pound or two of poke nearly every day when we're there. That's his thing since the "poke bars" here are not "authentic" poke. It's more like a salad bowl with a side of poke. This past visit, we went there one time and we were done. They moved the poke station closer to the produce section, Starbucks, etc. However, I swear the ahi was spoiled. It was so gross. The tita (yep, I said it) was hella rude and she probably gave me a few days old poke. Seriously. I wasn't paying attention since their poke has always been okay in the past. It was disgusting and we threw it out. We were rushing to drive to Lahaina so we opened it in the car to eat it. We tossed it at Costco when my hubz gassed up since there was no way we were going to hold on to the poke and have it sit in the car for hours to show them how gross it was. My husband got scolded (embarrassed and lectured according to hubz) by a large male cashier in August when he bought a few items. Many times, I have told my husband to either enter my phone number or my mom's phone number (priority) so they can get their Maika'i points and he can get the slight discount. That employee told him he's not allowed to enter my or my mom's phone number so instead of his total being $20, it was nearly $30. He was buying a couple of cleaning items for my mom too. Oh heck no. I immediately called the store and grabbed the car keys and my mom and I went straight to CS. I was there within 2 minutes and on the phone as I approached the CS desk. The manager was apologetic (my uncle worked there as store manager for many years back in the day; but, I didn't even bring that up and probably never will in the store). Actually, my mom stood on the side as I marched my 'okole straight to their CS/manager area. Lol. Yes, Foodland is very convenient for Upcountry peeps. However, so is Longs and Puk Sup. Or, you can be like me and just take a nice drive down the hill to Kahului. read more

Why did i delete this review... ugh. I love coming to foodland is near my job so it's easy and convenient. Huge parking lot but done stalls are tight and usually packed in front of the store. If you park facing the pool be careful of the wagons some people don't give a rip of it hitting your car. Trust me it happened to me a huge dent on my bumper. Well enough about that. Foodland has produce, fresh meat, poke, sushi, dessert and a pharmacy and so much more. Prices are a little bit higher here then some grocery stores. They have a maikai card which you can save even more and they are partners with Hawaiian airlines so every time you spend you can earn miles. Perfect for me. For every 250 points you earn you can get a makai certificate which you can use for miles or save 5%or product of the week. Bring in a reusable bag and you can earn 3 miles or save 5 cents. Cashiers and the rest of the staff are always nice. On fridays and Saturdays this foodland usually sells steak and chicken plates. Perfect for a plate lunch 9.99 for steak rice and a green salad. read more

This Foodland is located at the Pukalani Terrace Center, which is one of the last (and best) stops on your way up to Haleakala National Park to catch the sunrise/ sunset. My husband and I came by this Foodland on a Sunday afternoon, a little before 4 pm. We headed towards the back of the store, to the seafood section for the poke. The employee helping us with our poke bowl was not very friendly and didn't seem to listen to us as we had to remind her what we wanted in our poke bowls. Anyways, this is what we ended up purchasing on this visit: 2 Choice Poke Bowl- Ahi Poke & Limu Poke, $9.99 prior to tax- I picked my bowl to have brown rice and 2 choices of non spicy poke. Both choices of poke was fresh tasting and the brown rice was perfectly cooked. A pretty large portion that can feed 2 people. 2 Choice Poke Bowl- Spicy Ahi Poke & Shrimp Kim Chee Poke. Each $9.99 prior to tax- My husband also picked brown rice for his bowl. Because both of his choices were spicy, I did not eat any (I don't eat spicy foods), but my husband enjoyed it. Since the portion size of this poke bowl is rather large, my husband saved the leftovers for another day. Spam Musubi, $2.19 prior to tax- Had to pick up one spam musubi to share with my husband as we drive up to Haleakala National Park to see the sunset at the Haleakala summit. This spam musubi was delicious and also unique from all the other markets (especially the other Foodlands) that we had been to on the island, as the rice had furikake seasoning (love adding to my rice). -------------------------------- (Total= $22.89, after tax) When I had asked to use the restroom, the employee at the register told me to head to restroom, next to Farmacy Health Bar. She gave me the restroom codes (ladies- 234. Gentlemen- 345. Please note that these codes are also written in black permanent marker in case you forget). However, I do not know if there is a restroom in this market for customers to use because I had read from another previous Yelper's review that her boyfriend was able to use the restroom in this market. But anyways, overall, we enjoyed our food purchase and would stop by here again (especially for the furikaka seasoned rice in the spam musubi). read more

We have no complaints with the grocery store but the parking lot is always a challenge. Seems like people just forget common sense and logical parking and driving skills. We went on Christmas Eve and it wasn't so bad in the store. The deli has a good supply of hot and cold items and plenty of desserts in the bakery. The 8 items or less had a long line but it went fairly quick despite the person in front of me that must have forgot 12 is more than 8 . We just kept the Christmas spirit and let them finalize their transaction. I love that the Starbucks is attached for a tasty treat too!! read more

Despite being an older location, this 24-hour store still holds their own, in terms of size and offerings. When they opened back in the 80's at the Pukalani Terrace Center, they were the largest Foodland in the state per square footage. At the time, Safeway was expanding on the rock, so Foodland went large to take control of the growing Upcountry population. The most recent renovation added a Starbucks counter inside. The aisles are wide and well-stocked. Other highlights are an in-house American Savings Bank, pharmacy, floral department, a deli that serves cold and hot foods including sub sandwiches, fried chicken, potato wedges, BBQ ribs, and sushi, a seafood counter (the pokē selections aren't as plentiful as Oki's in the Kahului location,) a bakery, olive bar, and Icee machine. Parking is plentiful and service is friendly. As is common knowledge of Foodland stores, they have a larger selection of Asian and local groceries than competitors. And, their Maika'i rewards program can't be beat, offering compensation of 5% off your bill, free/discounted groceries, or 200 Hawaiian Air Miles. read more

Just tried to order a cake from Foodland Pukalani for a birthday - ordered a cake off of the pictures on their website just to be told 2x that they don't have the colors to prepare the cake - then I was told I need to come down in person to tell her exactly what I want and what they have available and also because I have to prepay the order which I had no problem doing over the phone - but again - you need to come in in person. In this day and age - Foodland Pukalani Bakery is not very customer friendly and now I have to go to town to pick up my cake from Safeway - not cool No aloha read more

My first time in Hawaii and my husband brought me to food land to grab some snacks before hitting the beach. People were super nice and friendly. We bought shrimp chips and fresh poke. We probably could've lived off poke everyday if we wanted to. Can't go wrong with Foodland snacks and poke! read more

All Foodlands are not created equal! This Maui Foodland rates five starts for their friendly​ staff, fresh local produce and seafood counter. They also have a good selection of quality gifty type items for tourists and locals alike as well as fresh flowers and leis so you don't have to drive all the way down the hill when you forgot to plan ahead. They also have a selection of prepared items, deli meats and cheeses sliced to order, a sushi counter and fresh baked goods. Add to that beer wine and hard liquor and a gourmet cheese and olive bar section. They offer just about everything you could want or need to throw a fancy dinner party or a last minute picnic. read more

I go to Foodland for one reason and one reason only....for their selection of fresh poke! It is a must stop on every trip to any of the Hawaiian islands. The poke is always fresh, delicious, varied, flavorful, and SO CHEAP for this kind of quality. I usually opt for several different types/flavors of poke which range in price from $9.99 to $19.99 per pound. In this most recent trip to Maui, we had three meals at Foodland - perfect for poke to take to the beach. Foodland is also a great spot to get all of your Hawaii based food gifts for much cheaper than at the markets (e.g. coffee, hot sauce, chocolate, Locals sandals, candy, cookies). read more

Feels weird giving 5 stars to a grocery store, but this Foodland gets a solid 5 stars for the Spam musubi and coffee bean selection. We came upon this market by accident but man am I glad we decided to peep in. The musubis here were probably the best I've had because of the rice. It was so well seasoned and not just your plain average white rice. It had black sesame seeds inside that REALLY added a great kick of flavor and texture. So sad I didn't buy more to bring home with me :( We stopped by a Foodland at a different location and they did NOT have this kind of rice! So sad! We also bought some Hawaiian coffee here and the selection was seriously impressive! Loved walking down the aisle and heart-eyeing everything in this market. Also, I don't usually pay much attention to cashiers at markets, but wow ours was so friendly!! Mahalo Foodland for being such a pleasant surprise! read more

I can't understand what transpired this afternoon I wanted a sandwich, so after my main shop I stopped by the Deli Counter I wanted roast beef and provolone with mustard, lettuce and tomato I had bought a seeded rye bread in Their bakery dept. and asked the lady behind the counter to make it on that She said "we don't do that" Don't do what? Use the customers bread to make the sandwich on? Especially since I got the bread from right over 1 dept. I asked if they had rye bread in the deli dept. Of course not! WTF eats that kind of sandwich on "white or whole wheat"? She went back to ask the "manager" and it said no Then came the question I was actually waiting for "Do you want to buy meat?" NO! I don't want to buy meat! If I wanted to buy meat, would In have asked for a sandwich? I'm still wondering what these people were thinking read more

Nice grocery store in Lahaina. I would definitely recommend it. It has more of a Whole Foods vibe than some of the other chain grocery stores on the island. read more

This review is just for their fresh made sushi- very good and reasonably priced. $18.99 for 30 small slices - tuna, salmon, and hamachi sashimi. Also tuna and salmon maki rolls for $7.99 - fresh and yummy. I came at right time and they were rolling and packaging sushi. read more

The hubby says the best thing about a vacation in Hawaii is that you can purchase sushi grade ahi tuna from any grocery store (and Costco) for relatively cheap. Lo and behold, he bought some here, sliced it up at "home" and had a feast for dinner. We also got some regular type groceries and I was surprised at how inexpensive things were compared to my last grocery trip in Kauai 2 years ago. read more

My boyfriend and I aren't from Hawaii and the cashier was so awesome and gave us the loyal customer discount and we saved over $20. I would highly recommend getting POKE in the back. It's so fresh and much cheaper getting it in the grocery store. read more

Another grocery store to check out. We get our ahi poke, lomi lomi salmon, mussels with ogo and lihimoi here. We also found the elusive Nabeta fish that local fishermen keep to themselves for home eating. My hubby went fishing and caught one of these and I pan fried the cute and colorful little thing. Sad, but good. Another fun fish to catch while trolling is the Papio, that I also found here for sale. Service is always decent. Great place to find local food at an inexpensive price...for Maui, that is. read more

?? I went here, it's just a cheap grocery store. The potatoes I got had serious black spots on them.

I'm pretty surprised by the 4-star reviews... read more
