Beverages, produce, sweet treats, and/or a hot cup of coffee this local store always has just what we need. I also like to pick up post cards, souvenirs, and tote bags! Like I said it is a one stop shop. I encourage anyone to shop local whenever you can. Morihara's has been open and ready to assist us especially with the pandemic and I think if you haven't shopped local in the past; now is the time to consider this gem of a store.

I especially loved the Chi Chi brand mini bottle of margarita. Morihara Store is a Kula tradition since 1948 located, offering a unique, local shopping experience there are tons of stuff in this cute shop, which looks tiny from the outside but you will be surprised from you see inside. A little mini supermarket store that has mostly everything, even variety of hot foods. The alcohol section really caught my eyes. Great selection btw. hehe. Mr. Cashier ( local guy) was full of Aloha, very friendly. I enjoyed looking around the store, after browsing I paid for my alcohol and thank you! Check out the store when you here at Kula esp. if you need alcohol while dining at Kula. Oh, one of my old boss' last name was Morihara, wonder if any relation heeh.

I've already come back multiple times just for it. Grab a bag of Maui onion chips and a coconut water with it and you have the perfect beach lunch. Usually there's a line at the poke bar but it goes by fast. Now as an actual grocery store... I did a full grocery run here to get ingredients for a SALAD, mind you, and it was HELLA expensive So I probably wouldn't come back to do all of my grocery shopping here. But for poke?? Absolutely. I will be back every time. My fav is the wasabi & spicy Hawaiian style ahi.

Fong Henry General Store is so nostalgic opened in the 1930s, great selection of merchandise at this shop. I needed to grab drinks and also checking out the alcohol selection caught my eyes, the prices are low too! I ended up with few seltzers for the road and tried a new one which I loved! Another reason to make a stop at Fong Henry is for the hot dogs! Yep, they have hot dogs here and It is really good and so cheap too! I loved how it is cooked, hot, fresh, old fashion style. Condiments ( relish, peppers, mayo, ketchup, mustard) are provided. Owner request that you could use the relish/peppers first before the mustard, ketchup, mayo to avoid contaminations of spoons, keep it clean too when using the condiments. I like it better than the Costco hot dogs. I've never met Ken, from the reviews and thank you note on the wall but I always the see the same lady ( owner?) that helped me, she is friendly and she must wonder why I take so many pics of everything at the store. Great service! The hubby and I enjoyed our snack, hot dogs along with our seltzer! I can't wait to visit again and for more hot dogs! Support this local mom and pop shop, make a stop here when you at Kula, recommend! Oh and don't forget CASH only! Look for the telephone and scale, really old school!

Believe it or not, the Pukalani Superette has been around for 100+ years (they celebrated that…read moremilestone anniversary back in February 2026). A nice family-run grocery store in Makawao and Maui's Upcountry region, they sell pretty much all the groceries that you would need as well as fresh hot foods and grab and go items. I stepped in here for my first time in the 8+ years that I've been coming to Maui and was definitely impressed by the great service and items overall! As some Yelpers have suggested, this would be a great locally owned supermarket to go to prior to going up places like Haleakala!

I'm writing this review to help clarify the inventory for anyone with dietary restrictions…read more A few previous reviews mentioned finding paleo, sugar-free, and healthy dessert alternatives here. Sadly, that information is outdated or incorrect; this store does not carry healthy alternatives. Aside from that, it's a solid little local market that reminds me of a 7-Eleven. It's perfect if you need to stop in quickly to grab a cup of coffee and a standard meal to go. I love supporting local shops, so I'll still stop by for convenience, but skip it if you are looking for healthly foods!

In case one has never been, it is a great shop in Tokyo for all your Japanese souvenirs so this Express was a slice of the shop and prices were super reasonable. There were Japanese specialty items in other parts of the store as well including shabu shabu and yakiniku pork and beef which looked like super nice cuts and again at very reasonable prices for the quality. Definitely stop here first to stock up your grocery and staples as well as made in Japan items when grocery shopping in Kihei. They also had an island gifts section.

In the back, you will find a food court with endless options, whether you grab what is already laid out or order fresh off the menu. I had the California roll twice, and the rice was so soft with a perfect rice-to-filling ratio, easily the best California roll I have ever had. I also tried the BBQ flatbread, which was pretty good. Ordering off the menu was also a great option. I got the fried rice and galbi, which came with sides and were all delicious. One thing my friend could not stop talking about was the poke, which was slightly on the spicier side but fresh, soft, and very tasty. This place has it all, and you really cannot go wrong. It might be a bit more on the expensive side depending on what you get, but it is pretty in line with the rest of Hawaii's pricing. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can also grab groceries and snacks while you are there.

I mean there is not much to purchase in the store but it is like a museum that takes you back to when times were simpler. And, if you decide to drive up to Ulupalakua choose a nice day because the view as you drive up is phenomenal and well worth it.
