There's a whole row dedicated to macadamia nuts, priced better than Target or the ABC stores. They also have a poke bar, along with the usual Japanese bento boxes, sushi rolls (nigiri), sashimi, and onigiri. Pokémon cards are sold here, but may be sold out by the time you see this. Come early for the andagi donuts (before 2p) otherwise there's a small table set up before the registers to buy a 3, 5 or a dozen. I was able to score a pair of steaks for $8 for my birthday dinner!

Super cool shop! We…read moreloved the Donki stores in Japan when we went last year so we were surprised to see one in Kapolei this week while driving around. Very fun place to walk around. Prices for merchandise are pretty high, like $30-50 for a medium Hello Kitty plush, but I guess everything in Hawaii is pretty expensive. But what we loved about this store was the grocery section. They had an amazing selection of grab-and-go foods. We had a scrumptious dinner of donburi, teriyaki chicken bento, tuna oniguri, bluefin otoro nigiri and more. Husband is here on a business trip, so work paid for our meals. Keeping up with the inventory is quite a feat at Donki stores--there's SO MUCH stuff! Definitely a fun place to walk around because there's so much to see. My husband and I agreed that it would be so awesome if there was a store like this closer to us in Rocklin.

This is a short update on my visit and review from last week. It's a "good news, bad news"…read moresituation. The food news is that the stench is gone. It appears that whatever was causing it (most likely the clogged drain pipe) was quickly fixed, and everything is smelling clean, and back to normal. The checkout still had only 1 line open, but there wasn't much need for more when I came at 11:30am. The clerks smiled and were more cheerful than I had experienced in the past, so always a plus. On the negative side, one of the main reasons I came today was due to the Tuesday special ad items. They unfortunately didn't have one of the items I specifically came for, and after one of the floor clerks checked in the back for me, he said because they "share" these items with Times Market, they often don't receive any; which I think is terrible. It's not the first time, this has occurred, and it's very annoying, and I hope they remedy the situation for more fair and equitable allocation, so it doesn't feel like a "bait and switch" type of situation (I know it's not, but still, very frustrating). Can't give more than 4 stars.

Banchan has been the item that I've always looked forward to whenever I order a plate and never really knew that it had a name and as everyone has their favorite so did I and there are a few places that you can find some yummy banchan I had no idea about Hawaii Banchan Company but know that Elite Peter Y had gotten some snacks from there that I enjoyed and knew that I had to give them a visit one day...where!? You can find them right on Kapiolani though you can barely seem them from the street view as it's not the prominent located spot as they're located right below The Republik right beside the ramp where you can find several parking stalls it shares with other tenants. Open daily except Sunday I love how clean and spacious the shop is where each item is labeled along with price so you know without picking up the item to search makes browsing very easy with items like drinks, snacks both savory and sweet and of course display case filled with various banchan. Love the convenience of this location and now know that I can now find some of the unique items they carry and though I didn't walk away with banchan on this day know that my cravings will certainly bring me back. Thank you!

A lot of interesting Korean groceries here. And except for the hot food in styrofoam trays,…read moreeverything is imported from Korea! I got to try some real Korean kimchi. It's sour with good umami flavor. I'm not a real Korean so I prefer kimchi that is a bit more fresh and not as aged, but I can see how some would like it. I also tried their japchae made in house. Not bad, but definitely not the best I've had, not enough sesame oil for my taste. They also have the popular fried strawberries snacks for sale. I also got a frozen musubi and some abalone congee to try. (The congee is really tasty!) There's also the famous fancy hotel kimchi for sale here if that's what you're into. All the products look interesting!

They have a refrigerator of various banchan, as well as premade musubis and bentos. The owner is really nice and gave us a sample plate with a lot of food. I really enjoyed the japchae. We bought a bunch of different things, but I only ended up trying the kalbi musubi. It was super flavorful and the rice texture was good. There is some street parking. This is a quick and easy spot to pick up food from. I will definitely be coming back here to try other items if I'm in the area!

All of the banchan was delicious, the daikon wasn't spicy at all but it was flavorful On this trip, he bought me a spicy pork bento. The pork wasn't spicy but there jalapeño and onions cooked with it. The pork was a mix of thinly sliced pork belly and thin sliced pork butt. I get that pork belly is more expensive but wish it was only pork belly. The bento came with rice send Furikake, kamaboko 1 steamed mandoo , Taegu, 1 small piece of broccoli, 2 sticks of takuan, japchae and a Partridge in a pear tree (jk). Husband got a free spring roll too. Not sure if they sell it or if they just hand it out as " saahvice" Overall a great store with lots of take out options and friendly service. I'm sure their bibimbap is lit.

Tastes so yummy and better than the ones we have in the regular stores. SORRY... but it's OUR opinion. Oh and their fruit snacks are pretty good too! ANYWHO, this place is worth TRYING and I'm not saying more cause I want to have them all to myself! HAHAHA! Nah nah but I'd rather YOU go in yourself to see it instead of listening to me on what I liked or thought. They have so much new and yummy flavored chips and I swear... it tastes GOOD! I got the buldak flavor, crab (MY FAVORITE), steak (my husbands choice), chicken, cucumber flavor, ketchup, lobster, chicken and then they have some others I didn't think to try like avocado or nori. I figured they'd be good for a second try. But the best was the apricot snacks! Idk ‍ it's probably because I needed it. But overall, it's NOT DRIED OUT! Not YET at least. Anywho, they've been out for about a year and they look as if they're not that busy. So, I'm hoping this will get MORE people to go here and visit to keep them open and so they CAN bring in MORE Asian snacks that we ALL wait for. Okie dokes! Thanks for reading and enjoy!

Hooray! One 2 Buy has added price tags to most of the items!…read more A number of items I looked at had English nutrition labels as well. Not everything, but it's a great improvement. The back of the store now has lights on. You can see in the back of the store. You no longer need to be apprehensive about venturing in the back of the previously unlit store. There is air conditioning, however, it doesn't seem to work well. I was in here for ten minutes and perspiring due to humidity and heat. I asked the one employee if she was uncomfortable in working in this heat. She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

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!

Best part it's across the street from my office. :) highly recommend

Luckily I had an extra set of eyes helping me look lol. I've been following this store on Facebook and what got my need to come here was the fact that they are now selling ube butter mochi!!! Yay!!! The store rep was very pleasant and was quick to offer assistance! This store has so many different Asian products! Not to mention a wide variety of longanisa sausages, fish, meats, etc.... I was able to get what I came here for (ube butter mochi) and a few more items. Sad to say I did have to share with my husband haha... My only complaint is the butter mochi wasn't cut into pieces, it was just a really big slice placed in a plastic container. Hopefully they will be able to fix that, then again maybe it's not meant for sharing!!! Lol My overall experience here was great! So, if you are looking for a one stop Asian store this is it!!! And don't forget to try that ube butter mochi!!!

Open from 8am-12pm, every Sunday. There's a parking lot right after the intersection. You'll see security guards at the front. From the road, you'll see many white tents all lined up, making it appear to be a huge farmers market with many vendors. There wasn't as many vendors as I imagined, but a decent amount with two rows with roughly 25 or so total. Almost all the vendors were selling food or homemade items with only two selling produce. There were several unique food items that looked appealing, but I wasn't here for that. Overall, a solid farmer's market to grab food. Everything was neat and organized. It also had covered eating area and musicians performing that added to the ambiance.
