February 2026 There are very few establishments that I will go to having to travel there Via Dillingham Boulevard. As we all know, Dillingham Boulevard is a total mess. But, Island Green Mart is one of the very few if not, the only establishment I would go to braving the horrible roads that Dillingham Boulevard has become OK, here's my take Clean establishment Clean and neat vegetables Clean and neat frozen goods Clean and neat dry goods Interesting imported Asian goods Priced right It's like going to an enclosed Chinatown market, but clean, neat and organize organized Nuff said!
One Of The-Best places to get your asian vegetables you can't find anywhere else on island. i had to stop by and check it out. it's like a mini-costco for asian products. The snack section had a variety of filipino, japanese, thai and vietnamese snacks... their vegetable section was large and the walls were lined with deep-freezers carrying a plethora of imported goods. the main grocer aisles had even more stuff. Not to mention, this place is CLEAN!
We went to Island Green Mart to pick up some Avocados and Daikon and other items, should have picked up the papayas there! Safeway had a sale for $1.29 but the ones at Island Green Mart was in better condition and better size. The area is very clean and well kept and the leafy items are bagged in plastic bags and in the refrigerator section which keeps it fresher . They also carry fresh & frozen meats and frozen seafood and lots of groceries items. They are getting busier that customers are finding out about this hidden grocer, so now they have a parking lot attendant, but the movement is pretty fast as customers come and go pretty steady and there is hardly a line at the 2 check out at the most 1-2 customers in the line at the most. Still have a little traffic due to the road work but worth while instead of driving around looking for parking at Chinatown or the Dillingham Chinatown market.
I heard they have one in Chinatown and small store near by Chuck E. Cheese in Kalihi along with other markets. I like this location because of the free ample parking although the Dillingham road is one road I preferred to avoid. Once you in this large air conditioned warehouse, I like the produced section, since it seems the vegetables are fresh and clean. Unique fruits, herbs, and vegetable can be find here. They have raw peanuts to make boiled peanuts, vegan frozen foods and products from Philippines, Vietnam and China. There's a variety of drinks, meat, snacks, coffee, products. I love shopping here. I do like their herbs, produce, snacks and chilled drinks, Vietnamese coffee packets. You would find ingredients when making tapioca! I do like their selection of Asian cold drinks. I believe they are in the former GBC store across Honolulu Community College.
My go to for Asian groceries if I'm in the area and especially don't want to go to Chinatown. Many selection to choose from, fresh produce, reasonably priced, lots of parking, convenient, getting more organized and more options in stock.
This is one of the place I go to for Asian groceries! It has fresh veggies, fruits, meats, Taiwanese snacks, Thai seasonings, nước mam (fish sauce), all of that GOOD STUFF! It's like another target for me, i go there for a specific item, come out with a whole bunch of other goods! I love these Vietnamese bánh tráng cuốn and I added some fresh shredded mango and squeezed some calamansi (not in picture). So so good! Staffs are so sweet and helpful. I asked if they have any more of sweet mochi rice and they were happy to check in the back for me and got it for me.
If you want a ton of Asian cooking options, this is THE spot! It's big, clean, lots of parking and well organized. They have 2 freezer sections, organized by seafood and prepared foods. Fresh noods and dried noods. Noods galore! All kinds of ingredients including gluten free. Fresh meats including cuts you can't find in most places including intestines, blood, necks and even rectum. If that's your thang. Tons of snacks! Lots of seasoning. Fresh veggies at good prices. They had like 4 kinds of mangos. And tons of leaves. Like 2 rows of leaves of unusual things. And the surprise of the visit- TONS of vegan "meat" and "seafood" products, both dry and frozen. Labels are clearly marked including translations and lots of buy 2 for a cheaper price deals. I even scored ube flavor condensed milk!! Overall I'm mad I haven't gone shopping here sooner!
Disappointing to say, Chinatown isn't quite the place as it used to be. It was once the place to purchase fresh and unique produce at the cheapest price (no tax helps too), but now, there are more options outside of Chinatown with similar or even better prices, and also better parking. Island Green Mart is one of those newer places, and I've become an instant fan after shopping here a couple of times. It's conveniently located along Dillingham Blvd., across Honolulu Community College. Yes, get the rail construction going on, but it's not that bad getting there. Just bumpy. There's plenty of parking, and no other businesses sharing it. The inside is like a warehouse. Right side has all your frozen and dried goods, sauces, instant noodles, snacks, and etc. There's a chill section with noodles, tofu, eggs, and etc. Though, this section doesn't seem cold enough as I spotted too many noodles with mold. The left corner takes you to the produce section with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. This section is even more cooler! The variety is predominantly Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Filipino items. There's also a meat section where you'll find a wide variety of different cuts of duck, pork, and beef. You'll find many unique cuts as well such pork uterus, duck head, pork and duck blood, pig tails, and etc! Overall, I enjoyed shopping here. There are a lot of excellent deals if you purchase multiple items. The prices are typical to Chinatown and other places with a decent amount of variety. But not quite enough Chinese vegetables. Everything is fresh and well packaged. The whole store is quite clean and organized with everything clearly marked. The staff here are very friendly and nice. This is definitely my new go-to place!
Three and a half stars. It has a lot of items and the place is huge. It's not crowded and the produce is pretty fresh and at a great discount! Maybe I went on a sale day without knowing but they had a few items on sale. I wanted cilantro, a few spicy sauces and a few other items for I didn't want to go into Chinatown. Great selection of noodles as well as a few other items.

Clean, spacious, organized, with free parking in front, what more could you want in an Asian grocery? Removed from the griminess and hustle and bustle of Chinatown, you can feel safe and calm shopping in this warehouse and you don't have to hold your breath to avoid disturbing odors. It carries just about everything -fruits and vegetables. meats, frozen seafood, and packaged and canned goods from many different Asian and Southeast Asian restaurants. The only thing that might deter you a bit from getting there is the Dillingham construction in front of the Alakawa Costco. The road is rough and you need to know where to turn in but you can feel like you're in the Philippines or Thailand for an authentic experience. read more

Have been avoiding the dilingham area because of the ongoing road work but I guess I may have yo go there more often now! Island Green Mart is a relatively new Asian supermarket on Dilingham. It's easier to get there from the west and they got plenty of parking. They mainly sell groceries from South East Asia. Chinese groceries mainly from mainland China instead of Hong Kong or Taiwan. No Japanese or Korean products but that's ok those you can find at other stores! They also have a good selection of produce. There are some foods that I don't usually see at other supermarkets (at least I haven't) such as pork brain, balut, etc. Price is reasonable. Definitely not as cheap as Chinatown but it's clean and convenient you don't have to worry about parking :) read more

I love discovering new Asian grocery stores! I always pass by this place when making my way to Costco - I randomly decided to take a look at what they had to offer. It's literally a ONE STOP shop for all your Asian needs! Mainly southeast asian + Chinese groceries. From the different Asian produce that you CANT find at other stores, the condiments, cuts of meats, snacks, etc... What intrigued me the most is how they had a wide range of different rice papers and noodles. They literally carried a big variety of things I haven't heard of either! It's really hard coming across an Asian grocery store that has it all coming from a south East Asian - BUT they had everything you need for any dish like pho and carried fresh pho noodles!! I saw that they had a sign for fresh fish/seafood, but didn't see any. They mainly offered the frozen option - but had a BIG variety compared to other Asian markets like hmart or seafood city who only caters to certain Asian groups. They cater to a lot of different various Asian groups! The prices were reasonable and slightly cheaper as well! They had some items buy 2 get 1 free!! Which I felt is like a good deal in this economy. I highly recommend!!!! I will definitely be going back. read more
My first visit here to Island Green Mart on Dillingham Blvd. Bumpy roads to get here due to road construction. Once you turn into the parking lot you can park for free. Large open entrance to the mart. Big open aisles. There are separate sections for fresh produce, meats, eggs and dry goods. The mart has plastic baskets to hold your items while you shop. Items are from Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Hawaii, Philippines, Korea and more. Huge selection of Asian foods here. A really nice surprise. As you enter the mart, there is a wall of lunar new year items may be purchased. Cash and charge cards accepted here. read more
Do they have a wall of instant noodles? Yup How about drinks and snacks? Tons Do they have sauces and spices? Of course, do you even have to ask? Plus, they have ingredients that are hard to find elsewhere. Not just frozen whole ducks, how about duck wings, necks, feet, or just the heads? Their produce section has fresh taro stems, pandan leaves, and warabi. Most of their packaged items are from Southeast Asia so there are many types of frozen fish balls, dumplings, soup mixes, and preserved vegetables. Island Green Mart has another location in City Square, but this second location is larger and better stocked, so I would recommend coming to this one instead. read more

Hidden gem by dillingham blvd, is nice and clean and free parking. The only thing you have to look at is the date of the products. Some are manufacturing date some might be expired. So bring more people shop there and they can rotate new products quick. Went there for rice ball but came out whole bunch of other things. Very nice place if you struggle to find parking at China town. read more

Wow so many great and fresh greens here especially the Asian kind! I was able to find the pea shoots here that I couldn't in Chinatown. The produce section is in another room at the end of the hallways once you enter so don't miss it! I see this market as mainly southeast Asian kind. You'll find some mainland chinese stuff here in the dry goods section but not much cantonese japanese or korean. There's also a fridge full of vegan fake meat stuff. They're pricey but I'm not sure why because a lot of these are made from soybeans like tofu. The dry goods section was OK. A lot of the stuff on sale are expired or close to expiry so make sure you're aware of that. Their prices aren't the greatest. I think Chinatown might have better prices when it comes to the dry goods. But well you do have the convenience and comfort to shop in an air conditioned environment with plenty of free parking... I find it easier to come here from the west on dillingham because I can just turn right to go in the driveway. The never ending construction on dillingham makes turning left anywhere very challenging. So that day I stopped here first before I headed to Costco gas station. They're kinda slow when I went but they've been open since January. I hope more people know about this so they stay in business! read more

Asian market, on Dillingham, is much less crowded than Chinatown, clean warehouse, produce nicely pre packaged, well organized and neat. The dry goods area, like the noodles, have signs to indicate where each ethnicity is located. This is my second visit here. I noticed they did not have the same produce or fruits as my previous visit. There are cooking sauces, dry packaged foods for cooking, raw meats, raw seafood, snacks and more. Times goes by so fast when you're browsing every aisle! Especially when the warehouse has AC and free parking! If you don't have a shopping bag for your purchases, they have empty boxes. Their first plastic bag is free. They charge for additional bags. read more

I bought two bag of sunflower seeds. Both sign says 2 for $8, I grab one for each. When charged they charged one selling price. I asked them why. The cashier was yelling and emotional saying it has to be one kind. I said there is the sign. They said that's how it is. I asked the manager. She has very bad attitude saying special means has to be same kind, mix means you can buy different. I said as customer we didn't know the code of there. I said it would be better to let customer know with a better clear sign. The manager said we are not gonna follow your idea! I said you need think from customer's perspective. Some people may not know but pay two single retail price for each. That's sneaky. She said that's their issue.... came out from the store, the cashier couldn't find the sunflower seed I refunded. She chased me out asking me to open my trunk. I did then she started digging the box with all items I purchased. What kind of the service is that!!! What behavior is that?!! Soooo rude!!! Plus, lots of things get more expensive. And one item showed $25.99 they charged $26 in the system. I'm not saying that's 1 cent different. But many more customers made it different. Also, one time I found at home the small package of Thai chili pepper charged same with big package..... Not worth to come anymore! read more
Grocery shopping in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii... My friend, Donna O., gave me a list of New Businesses to check out... Like - was she giving me an assignment??? Haha! I was wondering why Donna had included Island Green Mart on the list. I saw her check-in today and thought that I could catch her, but she was too quick and left by the time I arrived. Shucks! Located in the middle of the block of Dillingham Boulevard between Costco and Kokea Street (across from Honolulu Community College), drive slowly along "The Rail" construction... Yes - the Boulevard has been narrowed down to one lane towards Diamond Head and one lane towards Ewa. It's slow-going, but it's worth it! Besides the free parking, Island Green Mart is cleaner and safer than Chinatown. It has everything you need in one location! I saw all kinds of canned goods, frozen food, fresh meats, and don't forget to check out the Produce Room! The prices may not be the best - for example, the Hilo Lychee was $8.99 a pound. Ouch! I saw Hilo Lychee in Chinatown for less... However, Island Green Mart is convenient and more organized! Service was friendly and efficient! Decor was colorful, simple, and pleasant. The air conditioning was better in the Produce Room... Anyway, give Island Green Mart a try... You'll probably like it! They're open daily between 8am and 7pm! read more
When shopping for grocery takes you on an adventure! I just happen to see that cute logo from Island Green Mart passing through Dillingham Blvd which the name along just piqued my interest and knew I had to check them out. Prominently asian mart with many other unique locally embraced items as well are surprisingly found here I was just amazed how spacious it was here. You first walk in and see some check out counters and continue to see a separate section dedicated for produce which is decently massive. The main part of the mart is very neat and organized with clearly labeled sign though many of the shelves are bare and in comparison some prices are pretty steep. Still in it's process to complete all sections to be fair "Meats" and "Fresh Foods & Eggs" are still under renovations though Produce, Frozen, Ice Cold Drink and Dry Goods are neatly displayed. What caught my eye was close to my heart...noodles the wall of noodles to be exact all sorted by countries (Thailand, Indonesian, Korean, Chinese, Vietnamese and Filipino) not including the impressive variety types of long rice noodles. There were many other snacks as well, the staff here is just so helpful and friendly super knowledgeable for any suggestions and even uniqueness to bring in some items requests by guests is quite impressive. Lots and lots of free parking available but the real struggle sadly is the rail construction making it's way right along the way so you need to plan your route accordingly so show this place some love during this difficult time is something recommended to see and compare you'll never know what you can find in your adventure. Thank you! read more
Free parking available in the lot. No membership required. Open to everyone. Staff are very welcoming and you'll find them in green. You're welcome to bring your own shopping bags. They sell green reusable bags and offer green thin bags for your purchased items. There's green baskets. However, I don't remember seeing carts. Spacious and wide aisles. On a mission in search of Menlo wrappers with the intent to make homemade lumpia for upcoming Super Bowl. There was only one type of spring roll wrapper. However, after searching and speaking with one of the courteous workers I didn't find what I was looking for. This place offers fresh produce of fruits and vegetables, frozen items such as shumai, dumplings, fish balls, ice cold beverages, snacks, non perishable items that are found in Asian Supermarkets. Not in a wide range or variety. On a smaller scale. For instance, you'll be able to find groceries to make your own hot pot. Not able to find everything that you'll need to make halo halo. I bought non dairy red bean bars for afternoon snack. That was satisfying! Will be back to see what other items are on sale or in stock. read more
New Asian market in Kalihi across the street from Honolulu Community College. In a warehouse setting with concrete flooring and high ceiling with industrial sized ceiling fans, this place looks to be a great resource for Asian goods once they're done stocking the shelves and opening the rest of the store. The place basically has 6 main sections. 1. Dry goods 2. Frozen 3. A huge separate room for fruits & vegis 4. A meat market ( due to open next month) 5. Fresh seafood and live fish section. ( still waiting for permits) 6. Fresh foods section. It's also not opened yet but I suspect this section will have prepared meals to go. A few items did look to be very good value. For example, $1 for a bag of herbs like rosemary and thyme. King and shiitake mushrooms seem to be well priced ( see photo). Lastly my fave fruit papaya is $1.09/lb. Wow that's cheaper than Chinatown and the papaya is from Hilo. Also this is the first time I've seen Bun Bo Hue in a can. Was tempted but the sodium listed made my blood pressure leaped about 10 points. The place is super clean and the aisles are easy to navigate. Very friendly staff from the ones I've encountered. Lots of free parking in front. Happy shopping!! read more

In the area so we dropped in. This new grocery shop is now open about a month. Wide variety of dried Asian products. They also have a selection of fresh produce. I noticed in the frozen section a number of different brands and selection of ice cream products. They will have a meat section soon. In all, come and explore . The service is friendly, and the person at the cashier was informative. Enjoy read more
