It's like shopping at a secret club as there's no sign other than the obvious painted red gummy bear (thankful for the return of the original btw) and with a few parking stall right up front it's a great place to shop for goodies of all kinds here. No special entrance for all right through the warehouse with the owner working hard gathering items for orders I believe you see just shelves and shelves filled with snacks and candies of all kinds. Choices overload I kept reminding myself hmmm lol! Totally a warehouse setting as this is a business there aren't any prices of course so I didn't ask unless I was completely interested is a slight inconvenience as the guy kept running around looking all stressed out. I did decide on a individually wrapped Cheerios pack and some root veggies chips and you pay in a room right near the entrance. Great place to pick up some snacks for any occasions as it's super conveniently located right in Kaka'ako...it's no snackccident! Thank you!

Their candies also seem to be pretty fresh. I probably spent over $50 in snacks to bring back and there hasn't been one that I didn't like yet. But they range from about $7-$9 a bag. It's good checking out if you are looking for snacks and want to gift anything. The people working there were nice and parking was easy since they have their own lot.

I would not go anywhere else for candy lei! The price is great and you can't beat the Aloha spirit that comes with the order. Mahalo!

There's about three ladies and one gentleman doing all the food preparation Monday to Fridays, close on weekends. Bibimbap: They give you the red hot sauce put on. I'm glad...and would have over spiced and over killed it. I would not be able to eat it. I dropped little at a time to get the right spice level. It was delicious with egg, shiitake mushrooms, Ung choy, Teri meat, cucumbers, and carrots over rice. Ah! The merriment of vegetables, meat, and sauce...delightful! Tuna / Egg sandwiches were tasty and moist...shucks, no pickles! Chicken stew was phenomenal. Giant drum sticks with carrots and potatoes over rice. It came with side of rice and Chop Chae. I tried their California roll sushi which had a good size lettuce for that slight crunch factor... two to a container...yummy! There's lot of variety foods to choose from! Come check it out...Ciao!

I recently started a new job...and true to form, I still don't bring home lunch. My coworkers…read morenoticed that I am always buying food...and recommended this convenient mini mart that is literally across the street from us. The mini mart offers a variety of food items, like instant noodles, chips, candies, and snacks, as well as various beverages (i.e. coffee, soda, water). In addition to the normal food you'd find at a convenience store, they also offer various bentos and prepared food (i.e. sandwiches, pasta salad, somen salad). I love their bentos! It is like getting a mini korean bbq plate for half the price! I usually get their mandoo bento, which has 6 pieces of fried mandoo on a bed of white rice...and it comes with 4 sides (japchae, choy sum, bean sprouts, and cabbage). All for only $5.50! It is such a deal. They have bentos with meat jun, bbq chicken, pork...and they have a daily special. The only thing dangerous about this is that with their prices...I am not as incentivized to bring home lunch.

Writing a review for their Acai Bowls. These have become my favorite acai bowls. I love how…read moregenerous they are with the portions, the texture of the acai is nice, and the flavor combinations are ono. I usually take out-of-town guests to visit Ulu Mana (after we get fresh fried taro chips from the Hawaiian Chip Company across the street) because HCC gives out coupons for free cookies. I will pick up their ulu beet hummus and have my guests sample the ulu chips. One visit, I ran into a friend who told me the acai bowls were the best in town. I skeptically asked if she had tried all the acai bowls to determine that and she said YES I DID! lol. So of course I had to try one and was hooked! These are damn good acai bowls! Pictured is the PB & Cacao Acai Bowl. Note: They offer you a sample of whatever shortbread cookie they are baking that day. One visit, I got a cookie fresh out of the oven. HEAVENLY! Unfortunately, that spoiled me and "not fresh out of the oven" cookies just don't hit the same. I wish they set a time people could come in to buy fresh out of the oven cookies with milk or something. I would totally stop in for that!

Samples of cookies, as well as their different flavor 'ulu chips were handed out. Can also ordered a box of fresh chips. They suggested calling in beforehand to place an order so that it's ready upon arrival. The chips were thin and crispy. We walked out with a bag of the garlic bits - as good as the regular ones but just not as pretty, as well as a bag of cookies. We'll definitely be back to try a fresh box of chips next time.

I've come to know Pioneer Pantry for a while now. It's a small little convenience store that can be…read morea lifesaver and a place where life can restore some meaning in the universe. It's a place where you can be yourself. I've come to value Pioneer Pantry for what it is. They've been here for 20 years and I'm just noticing for a month or so now in June 2026. I recently relocated jobs and now work in the downtown Honolulu area. After discovering Pioneer Pantry, I feel like its been a good thing to have when you're running late and didn't have breakfast. Its nice to come here and score some breakfast muffins or those bag of chips, or even cold drinks to have during drab office hours during the day. Pioneer Pantry functions like a 7-Eleven with an actual live kitchen in the back. Pioneer Pantry is a small functioning convenience store that carries most things that many people enjoy on a daily basis. On most mornings, I would enter the store running late to the office and stumble through here. I would pick up a couple of items and a cold drink and be on my way. I wasn't sure if the fountain drink machine was operational or not, so I just grabbed a cold bottle from one of their refrigerators. The prices here can be a bit more than other places, but I was in a rush - most days anyway. The overall experience here at the Pioneer Pantry is good and blessed that they are here. It's nice to have them here for those of us who are rushing to work and have this oasis on the way there for breakfast and other necessities. During the early morning though, they are open along with the Wiki Wiki Drive Inn before 8am. During the lunch hours, they are open along with the other restaurants in the Pioneer Plaza food court fully open for business. The ladies in the back of the store are very friendly and are awesome. Small business owners are amazing for sure. I try to stop by every day here to pick up something for breakfast. Knowing my schedule, I tend to sleep in and rush to work anyway and having Pioneer Pantry here to help is a big boost for me. Majority of my experiences here are happy ones and don't intend on changing. For the most part though, it's always nice to have this place here. While people have their Starbucks or McDonald's in the morning, I rely on Pioneer Pantry for my cold morning beverage of choice, which incidentally includes a cold soda with or without ice. Most people love hot or iced coffee to start their day. I prefer cold soda. Not healthy, but its my thing and it's pretty good. The Pioneer Pantry is located inside Pioneer Plaza building on the 1st floor food court. It's physically located at 900 Fort Street Mall in downtown Honolulu. They accept major credit cards as well as cash. It's next to the taco place and the Subway restaurant. As far as parking is concerned, best bet would be either street parking or paid parking garages nearby. If you are like me, public transportation is good and there's a bunch of bus routes that traverse thru the downtown corridor. Pick the ones that stop off at either Bishop Street or Fort Street Mall and walk on over. And of course, there's always Uber and Lyft and even Tauro, if you need their services. For now though, if you work or pass thru downtown Honolulu and don't like what the others are offering you, consider Pioneer Pantry at the Pioneer Plaza building. It's a nice trip here to grab something on the way to work every morning. Or a quick snack for lunch too. Its definitely a lifesaver when you're running late and you can support local businesses too. 5.0 stars for the overall experience. Support local! A+

My co-workers and I have been frequenting this tiny convenience store in Pioneer Plaza for years…read more Joanne, the owner, is the sweetest lady you'll meet. She is so personable and a joy to speak with. She offers inexpensive breakfast bentos featuring white or fried rice, a fried egg and pieces of Portuguese sausage, bacon or frankfurter. The meat varies. It used to sell for $3 but now costs $4.50 (I think). It's still a deal and the containers are great! (We use them to hold leftovers.) During lunch she sets up an array of entrees ... Honey Walnut shrimp, Beef with Vegetables, Meat Jun, Spicy Chicken, Choi Sum, Vegetable Pancake ... the selection varies by day and she offers two or three starches. A two-choice plate ($9.75) comes with a choice of white rice, fried rice or noodles. You have to go early; she can run out of food by 12:30pm. I usually choose one chicken dish and a vegetable with fried rice or noodles. A co-worker always gets the Honey-Walnut shrimp. It's hard to find a better deal in a plate lunch in downtown Honolulu. Her drinks are "the deal", $1.25, $1.50 and $1.75, for large, larger and humongous. Add in the personable service and you have a winner! Hey, stay away, we don't want any more competition for her food. Highly recommended!
