Parking in this area of Kailua is difficult, especially with a 4-month-old baby and all the things…read morethat come with trying to have a beach day for the first time in months. We stopped here because the sign clearly stated parking was for paying customers only. I went inside, bought snacks and drinks, and paid while my wife walked across the street to Kalapawai Deli to grab sandwiches since their lot was completely full. Despite the fact that I had just made a purchase and the parking lot was still mostly empty, the owner chased me down as I walked across the street and abruptly told me I could not keep my car there. I returned to my vehicle and decided to simply wait for my wife instead of abandoning her and our baby while I circled Kailua looking for parking. Roughly two minutes later, the owner came knocking on my window demanding to know what I was doing. I explained, calmly and logically, that I was waiting for my wife and utilizing the customer parking that was advertised on the sign after making a purchase. Rather than respond reasonably, he became increasingly emotional, irrational, and confrontational over an almost empty parking lot. The interaction honestly felt less like speaking to a business owner and more like dealing with a child throwing a tantrum. By the end of it he seemed genuinely on the verge of tears over someone calmly sitting in a parking spot they had every reason to believe they were allowed to use. At that point I decided it was better to leave before my wife and infant walked back into an escalating confrontation with someone behaving so unreasonably. If the business wants to impose hidden rules or arbitrary time limits on parking, they should clearly post them instead of emotionally harassing paying customers in an almost empty lot.

My husband got the Salmon and Tuna poke, while I opted for the Ahi Tuna paired with the Crab Salad. I was glad I tried the crab salad--it was creamy and delicious! Overall, the bowl tasted good fresh and hit the spot, but keep in mind that they calculate costs based on weight. Because of that, the final price adds up fast and it definitely turns out on the pricier side.

They have QR CODED to SCAN posted in the buildings. I've NEVER noticed them before... Then again, I've only came during the evening most times. And don't stay LONGER than 2 hours. But if you ever need a drink for the food shops you're eating at... KNOW that there is a mom & pop shop in the center. It's a bit messy & cluttered tho. So, it kind of makes you wonder if they're renovating inside. Anywho, that's mostly the reason why I gave a 2 STAR because of the appearance. Otherwise, I'm glad they had drinks. And I think there's what looks like an adult "SAMPLE TASTE" station. BUT IM NOT TOO SURE! I didn't ask... he looked a bit grouchy. I didn't want to irritate him more. Anywho, you should check it out if you need simple snacks or drinks! Okie dokes! Have a good one!

And willow tree and bostons pizza. It's a great little shopping center with lots of parking. I come to this tamuras every so often to pick up poke. I just wish the poke counter was open longer, because I have to come after work and they're often closed before I get there. I can usually find something in the refrigerated section that they pack when the counter closes, but I'm pretty sure the kaimuki located has their poke counter open until much later. I like to come for the poke, I also like the chips and local snacks. The dips and other refrigerated goodies are also good. As for liquor, I've found pretty neat bottles of interesting flavors and brands. They're the only people who sell ever clear (I needed some to make homemade limoncello) and they have a variety of locally made alcohol. The cashiers are efficient, but not always friendly. Prices are reasonable I think. There are usually other people on the store picking up pau hana drinks and snacks. I like that there are little tables outside, but I don't think you can drink out there haha.

My partner and I were visiting Kailua and searching for poke spots when Tamura's came up as one of…read morethe recommendations. When you walk in, it feels more like a liquor store at first, with alcohol and wine bottles lining the space. The poke counter is tucked all the way in the back, and when we visited, there were only about 2-3 flavors available. We ended up trying the Ahi Tamura Sauce and the Spicy Ahi. The flavor and seasoning were really good, though it leaned more on the watery side. The fish itself was decent--not the freshest we have had, but still enjoyable overall. The rice was well done and complemented the poke nicely. Later on, we decided to take some poke to go and asked for the poke and rice to be separated. However, the price ended up being higher than the bowl when we checked out, which was a bit of a turnoff. Overall, it was a solid poke experience. Nothing mind-blowing, but satisfying, and we both left happy with our meal (and definitely confirm the prices if you go)!

Ahi Sunrise is more of a loaded Spicy Ahi, and you can really feel the heat from the sriracha mayo. As for the Ahi Tamura's Sauce, I liked how flavorful and tangy it was. They don't do samples of the poke but you can ask the staff all about the different types of poke that they have. The cuts of the ahi were HUGE, which was a plus for me. Really satisfied that I had this for my lunch, I told my coworkers about it so they ordered too and were satisfied as well.

Follow them on Instagram and you'll see the many collaborations they do around the island and you'll be surprised that you've already enjoyed the yummy flavors besides your local shave ice. Through work I do enjoy the flavors of Harders luckily which did make me think of my bestie who share the joy of our favorite drink and though why can't she take home and enjoy the island like we all do, and to my surprise I can purchase syrups online as well and yes they ship though I'm able to pick up at their warehouse located in Waipahu as well. From the street view there's no sign for Harders but "Island Maid Inc." and that's where it is curbside pick up is Monday to Thursday only from 7am to 2pm and there is a sign for you to pick up your order but as I drove up a staff came right out and knew exactly what my order was and it was just super easy. Love the convenience of ordering and pick up you just need to be mindful that it does take some time so it can't be a same day service but knowing that you're able to place an order easily is truly sweet. Thank you!
