It's located in the back corner of the Supermarket in a spacious area. It's packed in a four pack and made fresh and with no preservatives. Theres a variety of choices, All Red Bean Daifuku, Peanut Butter Daifuku, Kinako Daifuku, Fresh Mochi Combo, and Ube Daifuku The cost used to be $5.99 Now it's $6.99. Still not a bad price. I've always liked eating mochi growing up... It's great I'm able to get freshly made mochi. My Favorite is the Red Bean Daifuku. 3 stars for its freshness, softness and deliciousness. It's too bad I wasn't greeted by the worker behind the counter, of the making of this delicious Japanese sweet treat.

I've always like the location of this store with the huge parking lot & how clean & well-stocked the store is. The eating area is good sized with a pizza bar, hot soup & food bar, & salad bar. For made to order food, there's a coffee bar with baked goods, sandwiches & burgers, wok bowls, and smoothies. Lots to choose from. We came mainly to try the new promotional mac nut haupia smoothie. It comes in one size only, 16 oz and pricey at $11.99. The drink is ono but I think the toasted coconut made it too sweet. The haupia would have been enough to give the drink that coconut taste. We each ordered the black bean & beet burger - my fave! It's very tasty & a good sized sandwich with toppings of your choice, very filling. I also ordered from the salad bar, the kale & beet salad - another fave! It's the only way I'll eat kale. Over the years I've tried a lot of their food. The baked goods are even better than Starbucks, especially the banana bread & the blueberry scones. Ordering is easy from the kiosks set up in the food area. Since it's all cooked to order, not fast food so it does take a few minutes wait time. Down to Earth is a great place to get some healthy, tasty food, give them a try!

We just wanted to eat some dessert and someone had said let's go get a smoothie. So I figured why not. They got the new haupia drink and I got an açaí bowl. It was fast and they have nice seating outside. The place was big and they offer a lot. Unfortunately the price of the drinks and bowls were rather high but it seems the norm now eating out. I guess it was a splurge

I live just two minutes away from this location, so I visit their deli when I'm ono for it. I often…read moreencounter the associate named LUZ, her customer service, on average is subpar. She always doesn't seem very happy to be there, and she does not hesitate to make her customers feel that. It never bothered me, nonetheless. Today, however, I stood in line behind a mother and her son. Luz was tending to them as I waited for my turn, then LUZ just started asking, in a very loud manner, several times "ANYTHING ELSE?!?", while the mom and son were deciding (in an uncomfortable way, as she was pressuring them). As I observed this, I couldn't help to notice how rude this behavior was for a customer service staff. I continued to mind my own, until she then turns to me, and RUDELY says, "CAN I HELP YOU?!?". So, I answered that she is being very rude to the customers in front of me and that she needs to exercise patience because they are not finished yet. The boy thanked me for giving them more time, and he shows photos on his phone of what they needed more, LUZ, showing irritation towards the mom and the son, demands the phone so she can see for herself. Which again is not a very ideal way treat customers when you are representing a company like Safeway. No Aloha. Nothing. Just sheer rudeness. Fortunately, Judith was there. She smiled and patiently helped the mom and son instead, then helped me afterwards. The boy thanked me for showing patience, something LUZ did not, I personally commend and thank JUDITH for showing professionalism and ALOHA. That's what SAFEWAY is all about - ALOHA from staff like JUDITH. LUZ, however, needs to be corrected by the management ASAP. I understand working in customer service is not easy, sometimes even frustrating, we are just humans after all. However, the mom and the son, and I, were not demanding excellent service from LUZ. Just patience, and lack of rudeness (to say the least) will be appreciated next time. FIVE STARS for JUDITH ONE STAR for LUZ

I will have to admit I rarely shop at this particular Safeway located at the Salt Lake Shopping…read moreCenter, but if I'm just so in the area working, sometimes I'll pop on in to pick up some DEALAGES. This week Safeway had some coupon DEALAGES on a dozen mainland eggs, so I went in and picked me up two cartons of eggs for $2.99 each......can we say DEALAGES Yo? This Safeway looks a bit dated as compared to the Kapahulu Safeway that I normally shop at. On the bright side, the Salt Lake Shopping Center Safeway is clean & well organized with lots of parking so access is pretty easy. Besides the few cashiers on the check-out stand, if ya don't wanna wait, luckily they have several self check-out stations where you can ring yourself up, which alleviates the wait time.

"Lucky you live Pearl City! $6 Meals!!?"…read more  Did you hear about Pearl City Foodland's $6 Specials they offer Monday - Friday?  They are the bomb!!   With the prices of everything going UP, UP, UP there's now a place you can enjoy ono food for only $6! I have 2 favorites -- Tuesday & Thursday.   I eat it practically every week and you'd never guess when you see it! Tuesday is the BBQ Bowl -- You get ypur choice of meat, rice, and a side (banchan). I always get the smoke meat with pickled onion on rice. The smoked meat has plenty smoked taste, just enough fat, and it's not tough (you know what I mean).  The pickled onion is the perfect compliment!   Love the bite and the vinegar taste -- cuts though and brings it all together!   They give you quite a bit in the bowl.  Definitely enough to make me smile!    Again ---- $6.00!!!!! Thursday is another winner in my book.   It's noodle day!!!  I used to get the Mega which had everything in it.   It was a special that they had at the beginning but it's been discontinued.  I think the only one I'm not too crazy about is the curry.   I know some like it -- but having watery curry with noodles is just not me.   The rest are pretty good.   They warm up the noodles right there and add all the goodies on top.  It's take out so they give you the hot broth in another container ---- perfect so your noodles don't get soggy!   I think it's a great 'buy and eat later' meal! I think the only negative is that sometimes the parking lot is very, very full.  If you go early it's not too bad.    The rest of the days they have kalua pig burrito, nachos, and the $6/lb food bar Friday.   With all the prices on everything going UP, UP, UP, it's so nice that we can have a good and satisfying meal for $6.00.    Thank you Foodland -- Food, Family, and Friends!!!

I got conned by an influencer. Damn them all! Ikura and uni from Japan, chutoro, otoro, fresh fried karaage and even wagyu skewers. Believe it or not, they can all be ruined. 1. Nigiri sushi - pass. Rice is seasoned with far too much vinegar and MSG. 2. Karaage - Room temp. Oily. The basic shio, flavorless. 3. Wagyu skewers - IF it's wagyu, it's unrated scrap meat. Not even A3 (equal to USDA Prime). The beef is thinly sliced and assembled on the skewer. Despite being marinated and cooked medium, it is chewy and contains a lot of sinew. Further it does not taste at all like the wagyu breed. USDA Select? It's not all that bad. Items like the futomaki and Cali roll aren't bad. Bentos are OK for what they are and plates (2 scoops rice, tossed greens, and either karaage or 8oz of beef skewers) are inexpensive. Finally, there's nothing wrong with the sashimi. Chutoro, Otoro at supermarket vs sashimi platter from a true sushi resto; talk about savings. 10:00 - 16:00. Will it last? Doubtful but at least for now, a cheap and easy source of decent sasahimi close to home.
