Such a big store with plenty parking and great AC!! When I went, there was a sale and some samples to try! I got their dried plum snacks, chips, and various drinks. Their stuff is limited edition or seasonal so it's better to buy when it is in stock. They even had this Asian anti hair loss shampoo, which was so nice to try. The cashier is very helpful and nice as well! I'm so glad there's a place where I can buy unique snacks you can't find anywhere else. read more

Oh my, I read several of the reviews for this store and decided that I must check it out myself! Though the store isn't fully stocked I had a great time wandering around the brightly lit store checking the stock on hand! I was truly amazed at the variety of flavors of potato chips and Kit Kats! I couldn't leave without trying Roasted Chicken and Steak flavored Lays Chips and Strawberry Kit Kats! I was amazed by the Roasted Chicken Lays...they really had a roasted chicken taste! I will return again for more Lays and whatever other interesting items I find!!! read more

My husband and I decided to come here to grab some snacks for our TRYday, and we had so much fun walking through the aisles looking at different snacks and drinks! You know those snack boxes that people sell online with snacks from Japan or wherever? I'd imagine just grabbing a bunch of these snacks and candies and curating your own box lol You can tell that they're still setting up, but there was still enough to keep us intrigued! We initially said we didn't need a cart, but we were so wrong. We grabbed some random snacks just to try and review with each other, and compare them to the ones here in the States! We grabbed almost a cartful of snacks... not even ashamed to say it, but the total came to around $43, which to me wasn't that bad. All in all, we're gonna come back again or even check out the one on the other side of town! read more

One 2 Buy - International Grocery Near Me - Aiea, Hawaii

The second location of One 2 Buy in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. It's on the west end of the center, near McDonalds. Plenty of parking on that side. This store is spacious, bright, and new. Everything is very organized and easy spot the price. Compared to the main store, this one has mainly snacks and edible items, but a lot of more fragrance and cosmetic items. We even found some items cheaper at this store. The weird thing about this store is the flooring is not level. About 8 feet from the windows toward the parking lot, the floor slants down, so your cart will run away or you might feel a little dizzy from the imbalance. Overall, a nice spacious and clean store with a good amount of Asian snacks and food items. A nice addition to the neighborhood. No need to go into town now for these things. Cashiers were nice and friendly. Besides the unleveled floor, this is a more comfortable place to shop compared to the main store. read more

Came to this shopping center to buy lunch. Heard about this place so wanted to check it out first. As we were browsing, we noticed there were a lot of prices written on painter's tape or no prices at all. There was only one worker so when I had a price question for something that was in the back of the store, she had to glance around, run to the back to look at the item, gave me her answer then ran to the front. I was interested in a few other items that wasn't priced but didn't want to bother her so I passed. When I return, I'm hoping all items will be priced. They have a LOT of foreign snack items but noticed they were pricey...guess this is due to the tariffs. Hmmm, if you think about it, it's cheaper than flying to the foreign countries to pick it up. This place doesn't have their name posted outside yet. They are located on Kamehameha Hwy in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center right next to Queen's Island Urgent Care. There's a lot of free parking but it's shared by other businesses so it's always crowded. read more

Shopping in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i... We were at the Honolulu location of 1-2 Buy in Kaka'ako when the cashier told us that the Soft Opening for their second location, One 2 Buy was that day... July 13, 2025. Irene and I looked at each other and said: Let's Go!!! One 2 Buy is located on the Kamehameha Highway side of Pearl Kai Shopping Center, next to Queen's Urgent Care. Look for the bright green shopping bags in the windows! This store is cleaner and brighter than the Kaka'ako location. It seems more organized and has so many cute plushies, snacks, grocery items, tissues, and Lafufus! I actually got two because the prices were lower than the Honolulu location! The guy at the checkout table was very friendly and efficient. He gave us a nice shopping bag and a large handful of candy! Thank you! read more

Snacks galore.. It's even easier now as 1-2 buy has opened their 2nd location at Pearl Kai Shopping Center in Aiea as we found out after visiting their Kaka'ako location and the staff told us about their soft opening today in Aiea and that it had a bit more stationary items we just had to dash over and check them out. Located in Pearl Kai Shopping Center it took a bit of search to find them but we did as their right next to the Queen's Urgent Care which is perfect if you're heading east out the entrance is just right off the street and with lots of free parking to choose from you know that much easier than the town location. You can definitely see that it's not the warehouse vibe like the town location and with all merchandise on the shelving is very nice as items are out of the box and really able to see the various items much easily. All the yummy exotic flavors and the unique items that we love are found here as well along with some stationary items were found in the back of the store but what's prominent here as well are the Labubu...well looks like them amongst a lot of others as well were here lots of blind boxes which I think was fun as well looking pretty cute and I just couldn't resist a couple of them as the price was a deal along with lots to choose from, though we did arrive at their soft opening so no price tags are listed yet as I browsed around though the staff promptly informed us on the price of each item as we checked out and to confirm our purchases. What a treat it is as we checked out and had our items bagged he grabbed a handful of candies as well was a nice treat added to our treats and am so happy that we have found this new place for my cravings and so much more. Thank you! read more

1-2 Buy Hawaii opened a new store at the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. They are located on the end of the center closest to the Mcdonalds side, right next to the Queen's Urgent Care. They specialize in Asian snacks such as Kit Kat from Japan, chips and snacks from Taiwan, China, etc. They have cute Sanrio stuff and Lafufus, This place is a worth a visit as there a lot of different kinds of snacks, asian ingredients, instant ramens, drinks that you don't see at other stores. read more

This location just had their soft opening on July 12, 2025. At first glance, you can tell they're still setting up the store, especially since there's no signage up yet. It was a little difficult at first to find but it's right across of Queen's Urgent Care. In terms of what they have so far, it is definitely much more organized compared to the location in Kakaako (although to be fair, the last time I went to that location was last year). Inside of this store, they have a variety of items that are from different countries. Most notably, they have items from China, Japan, and South Korea. A majority of the items are various savory and sweet snacks, but there are also non-food items such as Sonny Angel hippers (unsure of how genuine they are, some of the packaging have questionable spelling) and soap. I definitely will come back here again because the snacks were really cheap! I bought four different snacks for about ~$12 and they were decently sized. Currently, the prices aren't on the packages/items but I'm assuming it's because it's just their soft opening. You can always ask a staff member at the register to check the price for you though! read more

So happy they finally came on this end of the island. Went a few times since the opening. Very pleased. They said they be getting more products as time goes on but they do have a full store. Can never go wrong going there. The service has been great too. read more

1-2-buy has a couple locations now. So far, I have shopped at their pop-up in Pearlridge, the original location warehouse in Kakaako, and the Pearl Kai locations. I heard the Waipahu location has gachapon games too. Fun!! I wanna check it out! The Pearl Kai location I frequent the most has a variety of snacks from all over the world, and the workers there gave me some samples to try. I took my friend there to shop and they also gave her samples. My only problem is I buy too many yummy snacks! Lol! I always leave with a box! Hahaa. Please check them out. I think this location also has a beverage drink place inside now. Yum yum for my tum tum! read more

I absolutely looove that they opened a location in the central area of the island. It makes it so much easier to get your snack fix without having to drive to Kaka'ako. This location is not as big and not as stocked as the Kaka'ako location, but they still have all the top sellers there! I absolutely love the shopping carts, they're super cool! I'm grateful for this location, of course I'll keep coming. So much more convenient, just off of Kamehameha Highway in Aiea in the Pearl Kai Shopping Center. Super easy to find since it's street side and lots of parking! read more

We were stoked to see that a One-2 Buy opened up closer to the west! My family and I love unique fun snacks, and we took full advantage of the labor day 50% off sale! They have a little bit of everything here. Snacks, household goods and even popular blind boxes! We love anything truffle and this place did not disappoint. We're making this a monthly thing because we've found so many pantry staples! Make sure you follow them on Instagram to keep up with the ads. We paid $40 for everything! The cashiers are also very kind. They always include freebies! read more

Saw that they opened a location in Aiea and immediately had to check it out. If you've gone to their town location, you know parking is sparse and the warehouse is huge. This location is in Pearl Kai across Urgent Care. They are having their soft opening right now and have their usual imported snacks along with those crazy Labubu, Sonny Angels, and other plushies. This location is obviously not as big as their town location and they are still setting up but I did grab some of their snacks and am happy to know I don't need to drive to town for these goodies anymore! read more

Cool store. Lots of snacks and drinks. Brought a couple of items to try. Wish it was in English. Buy trail and error.

Went here last week. The inventory is very sparse. I didn't end up getting anything here. Most of the floorspace is empty. Maybe they're still restocking everything. I'd wait a few months before coming back or go to their Honolulu location in meanwhile. read more

Highly recommend giving this place a try. It's a must come back. New location in Pearl Kai, a much better look than the town location, more like an Asian snack shop. I love coming here after school for something to munch on, and I always have new drinks that I'm eager to try! They're pretty well priced for what you get on certain things. I saw that they're gonna open up a café that I can't wait to try! I wish there was some music because the store is often quiet and they don't have many workers, so don't expect Walmart levels of service. read more

I went in just to look and came out with so many things. Even Kuromi items!!!! The teas are delicious and refreshing as well. Staff was super sweet and even gave me free face masks read more

Sooooo they were open for business and there were items on the shelf & items in boxes and on the floor. Place was dusty and still needed to be clean & stocked. Before I walked in I asked if they were open and the young man said "yes we are". Despite items in boxes and items on the floor I walked in anyway to shop. Found a few items and proceeded to the cashier and a few of the items weren't in the system for purchase; does that make any sense? So I had 8 items and only 4 were in the system. The 2 boxes of chips were not worth $3.99 ; I guess the tariff is pretty steep! So I suggested you wait awhile before visiting this location and be aware of the prices on items. But, definitely they have snacks from China. I personally prefer Hmart or Dondon read more

I've been so excited for this store to open and it didn't disappoint! So many different types and flavors of snack for cheap prices. The cashier was super friendly and helpful (I forget his name) he swooped in with a free sample for my screaming toddler and made our shopping experience so much better. The best part for us was the store owner sells hot wheels from his private collection and my son and I love getting one or two anytime we see some. Overall amazing selection, amazing prices, and amazing customer service. The free goodies at the end were also a great bonus! read more

Check out was nice by the owner. However, items purchased was not that great. I think the treats purchased at Hmart are better. Prices were not good at all. read more

Beware if you are using a credit card for your purchase because this place charges a surcharge! Merchant Fees should be a cost of doing business and NOT be passed to the consumer. While a surcharge is legal, they are NOT compliant with the laws because the cashier did not disclose the surcharge amount/percentage before making the purchase. Any surcharge must be clearly stated. If you are going to surcharge your customers, do it right! read more

Incredible service! We ordered a Volcano Ice but one of the employees mentioned their ice machine was acting up, so the manager actually ran to the McDonald's nearby to get ice just to make it for us. She even comped the dessert and gave us a little extra treat for the trouble. Such a rare level of kindness and customer service. We will definitely be back! read more

This place is very cute and I see the vision! I love the many different interesting snacks there are to try and to know that they come from different parts of Asia is very cool! I thought this one young boy worker was very helpful so if you need any help or questions, go ask him! He was such an outstanding guy with good customer service and made me want to come back again. I went to the location another time before and the worker there wasn't as good as the young boy worker. read more

Everything is super cheap! Friendly service, but usually empty. There is no music so I felt a little awkward shopping there, but the food was really good. 10/10 would become a regular here. read more

We waited for the store to open the owners walking in and we thought they'll open. They put a sing up saying they closed for the day but no notice on any social media for a heads up so we don't wasted our time. They need to do better. Having customers wait for them to open the store and to turn out they decided to close for the day they should update their social media and look around to see if anyone is waiting for them to open and let them know that they'll be closed. Poor customer service they need to do better. read more
