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.

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)!

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.

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.

We ended up bonding over McAllen, Texas, and how much we miss Texas food. It made us laugh because the tacos just aren't the same here. It was such a comforting experience to connect with someone who understood a piece of our culture. One of my favorite parts of this trip has been meeting new people and feeling more connected to the local community. While we were there, I picked up a little something for my bar cart, a surprisingly medium sized bottle of Fireball for under $2. I couldn't believe how affordable it was for the size. I also found Dos Equis, which brought back memories since it's one of the drinks my partner and I always enjoyed sharing with friends back home. I decided to try something new, too: Guava Cart. It's been catching my eye, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. I enjoyed looking around and seeing all of the different types of bottle choices they had. I definitely would like to create my own little bar at home. I had a bar at my parents house that my dad owned and owning one of my own will bring me a piece of my dad here with me.
