I had such fond memories of this place 25+ years ago... I recall multiple displays of marinated meats, freshly made salads, fruit platters, prepared spam musubi & other pupu platters. Boy, times have changed. Super small, minimal displays & prepped foods. Lots of empty shelves, not necessarily the cleanest of places. 5-6 different marinated meats at reasonable prices. 10-12 pans of various prepped food (musubi, cooked shrimp, dessert). Friendly service. If you're looking for balut or Kalding, these folks have it. Parking lot is rough, stalls are small. read more

Kalihi Super Meats is a one-stop shop for parties. A great place to pick up marinated meats to bbq or a variety of food pans for potlucks, parties, or simple get-togethers. I've bought marinated kalbi and chicken to bbq for a birthday beachhouse celebration and fried garlic shrimp for a work potluck, and everyone raved about the food. Although i enjoy all their foods, my favorites are their fried garlic shrimp and banana lumpia. If you need something for yourself, feel free to select from a wide range of items and customize a plate lunch. Parking can be limited, but I've never had an issue securing a spot. It's best to go during off-peak times. Service is always friendly and helpful. Support this wonderful family business. read more

First time in this new location, but was going for years, on original location. Love new store, a little more modern than original. They have marinated meats, frozen meats, fish, poke, cooked dishes, and desserts. If you lazy and don't want the hassle to marinate meats, for a barbecue l, this is the place! Great for barbque at the beach, at home, or wherever. They sell alcohol, soda, more like a mini grocery store. Cooked dishes is 50% off near closing time, except for mochi. I love their rainbow jello. Ube and cassava dessert is winnahazzz. Staff is super nice and welcoming. If going to the beach, and need meats to barbecue, this is the place! read more

Kalihi Super Meats is a local owned small business. They specialize in marinated meats but have a wide variety of food choices with already cooked food too. The prices are reasonable. Since the meats come marinated, it makes it easy to cook for parties or get togethers. The service is excellent and wear masks. I was greeted as soon as I entered the door and I felt welcomed. We ordered Korean Kalbi, Boneless Teri Chicken with Skin, Calamari, and Garlic Peanuts. The Korean Kabli is excellent. The flavor of the meat is good. Its not too sweet or salty. The meat is marinated enough to cook it without sauce and there is plenty of taste. Its best cooked till the meat is slightly caramelized. The boneless teri chicken with skin was one of my favorites. The meat is soft and juicy and teriyaki sauce was perfect. The calamari is pre-cooked and you can buy it already made. It has a light batter salted with a lot of flavor, and the calamari is tender. The garlic peanuts have garlic chips in them and are amazing. read more

Go to Kalihi Super Meats for their garlic peanuts! They're right next to the cash register and close to the entrance. Super addicting and full of crunchy garlic chunks! We first had them at Ishiharaya and wanted to check out the source of our garlic peanut addiction! Known for their party platters and marinated meat, I have not tried either. Apparently we went too early because the prepared food comes out around 11a. The marinated meat case in the back looked well stocked with teriyaki, char siu, and Korean style marinated meats. Lots of parking outside of the market. While the market looks a bit run down from the exterior and inside, it does seem to have a steady flow of customers. Most of the people we saw were buying marinated meat. I'll definitely return for more garlic peanuts and to try their other food stuffs! read more

Got some Lumpia the other day. The Cashier was grumpy and not friendly. Gave my change and didn't acknowledge my patronage.

Small and rundown-looking from the outside, with a teeny tiny parking lot, I was surprised at the selection of items when I first walked in to Kalihi Super Meats. Kalihi Super Meats is a mom-and-pop type grocery store where they offer pretty much all of the items you can find in a regular grocery store, this is just a condensed version. To my surprise, they have just about everything from eggs, meat, baking goods, snacks and even some catering items. There are tables right up front filled with pre-made party food trays. Most days, they have fried noodles, chicken and even musubi trays. So why do they call this place "Kalihi Super Meats" you ask? It's because they have a ton of marinated meat and poke for sale. They sell the meat by the pound and based on their recommendations, 1 pound of meat feeds 2 people. They add extra sauce after weighing the meat. I like the char siu chicken. Like the other Yelpers stated in their reviews, Kalihi Super Meats is a convenient place to pick up marinated meat. I know they've saved the day for me a couple of times when on my way to beach barbeques. As for everything else, I usually rely on a regular grocery store because the eggs, milk and the other necessities here cost almost $2 more than the average price. Customer service has never been their strong point either. read more

The outside does look run down and a little old, but there's parking right in front and in back of the store. When you walk in it may look like a small mom and pop grocery place but keep walking and on the right hand side there is a long case of marinated meat to choose from. In the front they also keep ready to go pans of noodles, chicken, sushi and mochi. This is the go to place when you dont have time to cook it yourself, I purchased 5 pounds of marinated teriyaki chicken and it was a HIT at my softball tournament. People kept asking me for my recipe! They did a great job of really wrapping up the meat for me, i told them that i was going to refrigerate it overnight and needed it for the next day. Flavor was really good and the chicken was boneless and very generous size. They also sell the marinades here. I plan to come back and try other meats and also order a tray of Broken glass jello next time. Hole in the wall but quality marinated meats and very convenient place when you need to bring something to potlucks. read more

Located in a new building near by the original location. Look for the San Nicolas cafe up in the front. That's the turn in you want to enter from King st. Same great marinated meats. Just a little smaller & looks like kinda new machines. Same great Filipino employees working. Came here to grab some marinated meats for a last minute planned BBQ at the ohana's hale. Picked up some teriyaki end parts & some teriyaki boneless chicken. Came out to about $45 in meat. 5# of the chicken & 2.5# of the Kalbi end pieces. We wanted to grab more of the end pieces but they ran out and we took whatever was left. We came in about 445p on a Sunday. They close at 6pm. All in all my ohana likes to grab meat from here. I think it's kinda pricey. But when you don't have a chance to marinate the meats before hand. You gotta pay the price. This place reminds me of a family owned meat shop that closed on Kaua'i back in the days. Used to go there all the time for their Kalbi meat. This place is similar in taste. Kalihi meats also sells their marinate sauce. I'm kinda tempted to purchase one and try to marinate some meats myself. Maybe on our next visit to Kalihi read more

When you enter Kalihi Super Meats (if you come early), there's prepared food in tin pans. This is what I mainly come here for (especially when we do BBQ's). They make life easier - rice, musubis, noodles, fried chicken. It good for a small party. The raw meats on the side is also very tasty. My boyfriend gets the meat so I'm not sure what he gets. I should ask him and update my review. SORRY! I'm always too busy eating to ask him. Kalihi Super Meats have been here for years. YEARS. I'm assuming at least 25 years. The parking lot in front of the store can be challenging but there's additional parking as you drive in. I believe they take credit cards. The workers are very friendly and helpful. Come by and take a look! read more

My husband went to shop for a party he ordered Kalbi short ribs and teriyaki chicken with bone. I cooked my chicken in the oven he cooked the shortribs on the hibachi and the food came out winners everyone enjoyed the food plus I made potato salad. Off the hook quality meats I can't wait to go back and shop again for some meats. I miss Kalihi it's still on Gulick Ave. in the back of its original space it's convenient and easy to find. I suggest you give it a try if you like char sui chicken or pork they also have teriyaki beef and pork . I'll be back to stock up my freezer very soon. I suggest you give it a try you won't be disappointed . read more

Love this place for pot luck conveniences. They have lots of choices from catering service to assorted meats for bbq.

My go to place for grilling meats. We really love the kalbi as it's seasoned perfectly like it's been soaking in their special sauce for days. Yummmmm my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Guys kalbi isn't cheap so just a warning but it's sooooo worth it!!!! It seems like you get 3-4 pieces per pound so you'll probably buying a couple pounds. It's a must try!!!!! read more

Used to go to Kalihi Super Meats all the time when I lived in Kalihi. Haven't gone for years. They moved to the back of San Nicolas.

I had Kalihi Super Meats book marked for a few days. The other day, I was too tired and busy to make dinner so I stopped at Kalihi Super meats for some boneless short ribs. Not bad... at $6.39/lb, I bought 3 pounds. The shortribs looked pretty fatty, but I asked the lady if I could have leaner. She pleasantly accommodate Le my request and put in leaner looking pieces. She weighed it, asked if I wanted more sauce which I said yes, and I was off. When I got home, I opened the package. Unfortunately, the ribs had gristle... and I mean tons of gristle. I cooked it up anyway. The sauce was yummy, but the cuts of meat were horribly chewy and bad cuts. Sad to say, I would return, but maybe try some other meat. read more

On Saturday and Sunday they have lots of premade pans of goodness to bring to a friends house. They have noodles, lumpia, cooked meats, desserts (mmm jello!) just to name a few. Also, this place has random things that you may need when cooking or barbecuing such as marinades, seasonings, soda, paper plates, beer.. I can go on and on. read more

I love this place for kalbi short ribs and other marinated meats. Customer service is great

I seldom go to Kalihi Super Meats because the place doesn't look the most sanitary and the marinated meats don't look all that appetizing, but every time I purchase meats to take home they turn out delicious. This place looks the same as it did 25 years ago and I felt the same about it back then too. My wife and I purchased 1 lb of teriyaki beef to take home, we don't need too much because we have an empty nest and 1 lb is just right for the both of us. The thing about Kalihi Meats is that they will add at least 1/2 lb pound to your order every time. This practice has never changed. For our order they tried to give us 1.6 lbs but I had them take some out. So maybe you should order 1/2 lb less than what you actually want. I took the meat home and pan fried it in a cast iron skillet and it was as good as ever. I also remember that no matter what you order here it's gonna turn out good. read more
