    New store pick up
    Kathy A.

    I shopped online at this location in Salt Lake because they carried an item not available at the Waimalu location and figured why not, the distance is about the same and I'm utilizing the DUG (drive Up grocery) option anyway. Was I happy with their service....hmmm. I'm a firm believer in honesty and even though it can sometimes be trivial there's that old adage of dishonesty in small things will lead to dishonesty in large things. Did my shopping on line as usual, set the time for pick up as usual. Got to the store and texted I'm here! What I got back was "your order was delivered at 10:50 AM" like 30 seconds after it texted my arrival. Confused I wrote out another text to tell them I neither received my order nor did I get a number to confirm. Before I could hit send a young woman walked up to my car and handed me one bag and said thank you. Again I was confused because the confirmation was for three bags but they jammed everything into one and affixed three labels on it. Checked and all my stuff was in it but here's the dishonest part....i was charged for three bags and yes it's only 15¢ per bag but that's not the point. In addition I ordered two containers of fresh raspberries and for the first time using this service I received containers with moldy berries in the bottom of both. Then carrying the bag up stairs the handle broke because there was too much stuff in the bag and I'm now picking up groceries down a flight of stairs. I wont be using this store again. They shouldn't be allowed to shorten their delivery time by texting when they haven't actually delivered to my vehicle or charge for labels instead of bags or give rotten fruit....not what I paid for and doesn't happen at other locations.

    Not the biggest, cleanest or best safeway, but it's conveniently located at the Salt Lake shopping Center among a row of eateries, longs and stores. This safeway is smaller, and if I shop in the afternoon or early evening, seems like most of the sale items and other regular items are out, especially on $5 friday. Items that are remaining are still fresh, but not much selection. $5 friday special cooked items like fried chicken tenders, nuggets, spareribs, etc are prepacked. Lines are always long, even the self check-out, but service is always good. Lots of parking since it is in the Salt Lake Shopping center, but the parking lot gets dark around safeway area, and sometimes there are sketchy people that hang there, so I avoid going to this area after dark.

    You can certainly feel the ancient vibe here... Since I was in the area and knew that Safeway would have the item that my time crunch day was ending besides my exhaust and patience and decided to give this place a visit. Knowing a friend that used to work there and the stories he's told me...still to this day...it all came to me as soon as I walked in the door...wow! The guest service area is just the basic as you feel the time this place has done without any updates is quite sad though as a neighborhood grocery store it's still embraced for it's necessities but sadly lacks all the items that the larger/newer stores offers. I do remember visiting this location when I my bestie lived in Salt Lake and she loves to cook and I loved hanging out with her that I would stop here for items to prepare and make it a girls night out, you can still certainly find that basic items here though for more "selective" items you'd save time by going to the larger stores. I do hope that they will improve this location as it has taken us though covid and various situation and does deserve better.

    This Safeway is the one in Salt Lake and must be one of their oldest. You walk in and can just tell that it needs a facelift compared to all the newer Safeways. I used to come to this Safeway all the time about 15-20 years ago as my ex lived in the area. It still looks the same as it did back then. They sell what every other Safeway sells. They have a produce, meat, deli, bakery and poke department. I love my clam poke. I always check it out no matter what grocery store I'm at. At all the other Safeways that I've been to the clams are in the shell. This is the only time that I've seen the clam poke deshelled. I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing. At least it's easier to eat and you won't be paying for shells that you're just throwing away.

    This review is for the online contact less curbside pick-up service. This is one of the older Safeways that has been around forever. It's located at the Salt Lake shopping center on a very busy corner. I placed an online order for a product that's not available at my normal grocery store. Plus, added bonus, the item I needed was on sale Their. website & ordering process was very user friendly. They also had a wide selection of pick-up times to choose from. And if you're late, you have until store closing that day to pick it up. Received an email that my order was ready. When I got to the parking lot, I headed toward the front entrance to look for the designated curbside spots, there wasn't any. I went up & down each aisle, nada. WTH? I rechecked the email & it said park near the entrance & indicate if to the left or right side. Easier said than done. Found no spots near the entrance, store was busy, & the closest spot was midway up an aisle. Responded to the email make, model, & car color, along with info like where in the aisle I was parked, & by a tree. It was useless info since the parking lot is full of trees & there were at least a dozen gray cars. So I stood by my car & watched the exit for an associate carrying my order. About 5 minutes later, a female associate walked out with my order & I proceeded to walk toward her waving. She was quite friendly. Once I identified myself, I got my order. I asked her how come there's no designated spots for curbside like other Safeways. She didn't know. I told her she needs to let her management know since it doesn't make for good customer service. Because of this, this review gets knocked down to 4 stars. Everything else was great from ordering online, friendly associate. & my order was well packaged & nothing out of stock. Safeway - you are a national chain. Surely you can arrange with the shopping center mgnmt for some designated spots. It makes for good customer service.

    Michael was so informative and helpful here in produce.
    Thomas B.

    The store will be my local store for the next couple months. I went in and checked it out last night they're well stocked but law and some items probably do to problems with trade and covid. But I did find all the items I was looking for and I was very happy. Michael and produce was very personable and pointed me toward items that I had never seen before so I added it to My Shopping List. He also gave me Cooking tips for a couple unusual items. I didn't have much contact with many of the people in the store as they seemed to be busy with other customers but my exiting contact was with Layla as she was very personable and fun. I enjoyed her conversation while we checked out.

And they've got everything! It is widely regarded by locals and visitors as having some of the best grocery-store poke (like spicy ahi and shoyu varieties) sold deli-style by the pound. Unfortunately, we were not there for the poke. My wife was on a mission to find my son his fav bread- ube pandesal. And her personal fav- butter mochi. For the life of me, I couldn't find either or. But thanks to a staff member who offered to help, we secured the goods! And both my son and wife scored big-time. Not only did she help us locate our two essential products, but she also made some really good food recommendations for the future (as we were already stuffed from eating breakfast earlier). Overall, I was really impressed with my first time visiting. The grocery store is clean, well organized, and fully staffed! I can't wait to be in Hawaii again so that I can pay them a visit and try the famous poke!

The fish was thick, flavorful, and didn't feel overly sauced or heavy. What stood out the most was the quality , you can really tell the difference. Every bite was clean, rich, and satisfying. It's a quick service so as well. It's also way more filling than it looks. I didn't expect it to hold me over like it did. Honestly, no complaints. If you're in Hawaii and thinking about poke, this is a must. I can't wait to come back and visit and this be my first stop!

Huge selection of everything - cosmetics/skincare as soon as you enter, souvenirs, fruits and vegetables, bakery, aisles of ramen and snacks, etc. Interestingly, the hot food section serves a variety of local Filipino items as well.

I went to the Money Services counter, where I was told the fee to cash my check would be $8, which I was fine with. The associate tried twice to cash my check, but both attempts were denied. She told me she couldn't do the transaction and went off to lunch. I tried getting someone else to help me but he stated he was an operator not a manager. So her co-worker explained to me that it wasn't an issue with my identification. At first, I thought it might have been because the address on my passport wasn't current, so I provided another form of identification along with a piece of mail showing my name and mailing address. Unfortunately, that didn't make a difference. The associate explained that it may have been because it was my first time cashing a check of that amount at Walmart and suggested that I go directly to my bank instead. While I appreciated the associate's efforts in explaining it to me, the experience was still extremely disappointing. I had planned to use the money to buy groceries, but since I couldn't access my funds, I had to return everything I had picked out and leave empty-handed. It was a frustrating and discouraging end to an already long workday. I understand that policies and verification systems are in place for security, but I wish there had been a clearer explanation or an alternative solution to make it right with me. I was so disappointed, I just deposited the check through my own Chase mobile banking. A bank I haven't used in over a year and a half since I moved to Hawai'i. To make matters worse, the employees started discussing my situation in the corner in Tagalog as if I wasn't right there. I wish people didn't do that. Speak in another language thinking other people don't understand you. I speak Visaya, English, and Tagalog by the way. I was born in the Philippines and understand the language... It was just a very discouraging encounter. I walked out of Walmart trying not to sob because after two weeks of waiting for a paycheck, and not being able to go to the bank with my work hours, it's been incredibly difficult to have money in my pocket. I was really counting on Walmart to take care of me today. So, reluctantly, I took a picture of my check instead and deposited it through my mobile phone and now I have to wait days for it to go through. What a rough day.

And even after we moved, we would still drive out just to come here for the seafood. That's how special it was to us. The reason why he chose Tamashiro over other grocery stores was simple--it was quality and because of my Nanay (grandma). His mom purchased from here and made so many delicious dishes. He knew what to look for, and he trusted this place. For him, it wasn't just about buying food... it was about getting the best for his family. My dad isn't the type to say "I love you." He shows it. One of the biggest ways he showed love was through his cooking. Even after a long day on his feet cooking for others, he would come home and cook for us. That was his way of taking care of us. I loved coming here with him. It was a five-senses overload--the smell of fresh seafood, the sound of people talking story, the colors of fish on display. Back then when you were allowed to sample a grape or poke to make sure it was good before buying. But more than that, it was time with him. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw the pink building with the huge crab. I thought back then was to look at everything but now I understand that it meant something more..... something special--time with my dad. It's with a sad heart that Tamishiro Market is now closed.
