Patrick, meat manager, is Awesome! He helped me order my Prime Rib dinner for Christmas Dinner! 7 lbs bone in, cut and tied. And i could get it for the sale price to top it off! Such great customer service!

I used to make my own Turkey Brine, but I find using one of these pre-made Brine packets waaaaaaaaay easier! Happy Thanksgiving gang!

Bing! Bing! Bing! Any supermarket that has da gall to put up a Frrrrrrried Chicken Wing bar at the hot foods deli section will easily get a 5 star rating from Bruddah Fran!!! I'm known to cruise Safeway in Friday's, cuz Bruddah Fran digs da DEALAGES, but in my most recent adventures to the Hawaii Kai Safeway, I came across Safeway's Frrrrrrried Chicken Wing bar & decided to pick up a few wings for lunch. What can I say about the wing bar??? Da Frrrrrried Chicken Wing bar was nicely stocked, clean, & of course the wing bar had my two all time FAVORITE Frrrrrrried Chicken Wings - Da Salt & Vinegar Wings, and the Mango Habanero Wings!!! Had to pick between the two, so I mine as well get both, because making tough decisions like that can be too stressful for me! Buwahahahahaha! What can I say about the wings??? The Salt & Vinegar wings was outstanding! The wings were nice & crunchy with the right amount of seasoning to make your mouth pucker with joy! As for the Mango Habanero wings, if you like sweet & spicy, then this is the wing for you. I would say it would be best to get this wing made fresh, because if the wings were sitting in the sauce for too long, it make the wing texture soggy. I have gotten these wings from the deli dept., where the clerk made it fresh for me, and when I got the Mango Habanero wings fresh, the texture was excellent with the nice sweet & spicy taste. Ummmmmmmmmmm! Either way, both wings are excellent in my book, but if you're not into Frrrrrrried Chicken wings like Bruddah Fran, Safeway does offer an array of items you can buy fresh from da market!

This is the Safeway in Hawaii Kai. The store was ok. You can tell that it's not one of their newer stores. I was here the day before Christmas and they were out of a lot of items. The cheese section was depleted and the cereal that I was looking for was gone. I asked the stock guy and he told me that he brought out the last two boxes from the back earlier and someone bought them. I do love that they have a sit down area sectioned off for the Starbucks in the store. In town, they only have the kiosk for Starbucks. The sit down area is on the outside. I saw a lot of people converging in the center of the store. It turns out that all the Christmas candy was 90% off. That's right, 90% off. The Hershey's bags that are usually $5-$6 a bag was less than a dollar. I got seven bags for around $5. It was definitely the best deal in the whole store. They have a branch of the Hawaii State FCU in this place if you're a member.

SW Friday deals.  12/29/2023. Poke bowl $5. Deli ham $5# Maui chips 2 for $5

Store manager Dane is hard working, personable and friendly. Been here many times. Good layout of Store, easy to find items. Came here for $5 poke bowls, deli ham off the bone $5#, Maui chips 2/$5. Normally go to Costco in the shopping center next door, Hawai'i Kai. There are 6 self service check outs, which is very convenient. Parking lot is Normally busy. CVS, McDonald's, Bale, Texas 808 are in same shopping center

They improved quite a bit since this happened. And they now have a rule providing compensation if they overcharge.

OMFG -- there needs to be one of these EVERYWHERE…read more The musubi was SO good. I ended up getting about five of them plus a drink and still spent under $20, which honestly feels unheard of these days. Everything tasted fresh, the portions were satisfying, and every bite was ridiculously good. I was basically having a food-gasm the entire time. Affordable, fresh, delicious, and dangerously easy to keep ordering more. I'm already wishing there was one closer to me. 10/10, would absolutely come back.

I will start by saying my family and I come here often, and enjoy their food, poke, deals, etc…read more Today's review is totally reflected upon today's experience. It would have been 1 star if not for me realizing, I should have done my own due diligence first. I figured to stop in early for a quick breakfast for my son and I. He ordered his mix plate from the hot bar, which he enjoyed. On my end, I never get their sushi, but I said hey why not, it's early and should be fresh since they recently oepned. Sit down all excited about my tempura topped with ahi, crunch, and sauce.......it looked delightful. First bite and I was like ahhhhhhhhh. I thought what the heck this tasted like day old sushi. Rice cold and hard ish, tempura dry and stale. Maybe it was just the end piece. Grab a center piece and ahhhhhh. Maayyynnnn I just wasted my money and set me in a disappointed mood. So this is where I realize.....huh I may be partly responsible. I grabbed, ASSuME'g it would be fresh, but never checked the date. Turn over wrapper and tipped prepared yesterday. If not for my own fault this review would have been a 1. So I bumped them one star for my mistake. Still bad review as WHY are you selling day old sushi. It's terrible. I get not trying to waste money, but still that's a shame. Oh well, never again sushi for me from here. But I will be back for other food and shopping.

Visited our favorite Japanese / Asian store, Marukai Wholesale located on Dillingham Highway. The…read moreroad work is in its final stages, but you still have to approach the driveway heading Ewa along Dillingham. Today they were featuring products from Okinawa. I love the produce department which features imported produce from Japan. Although pricey the quality and taste are Top Notch. Local produce is fresh and vibrant. The fresh meats and seafoods are replenished daily always fresh. Sales associates and cashiers are always helpful and friendly.

I Heart Marukai…read more Going to Marukai is like being in a candy store for me. Entering the store, my senses are barraged with upteen choices, starting with snacks. Really have to hold myself back as I could subsist on Japanese snacks alone lol. Love that freshly milled rice is available here, amongst the myriad of bagged rice choices. Hot and cold food available here, along with poke bar and food items of regional fairs regularly held here. Getting here may pose a challenge with lane closures due to rail construction. Once you get here, finding parking is usually not an issue (save special holidays). Perhaps tonight I will be dreaming of having a shopping spree at Marukai where I get to consume what I wish to my hearts delight!

One of my fondest childhood memories is going to Tamashiro Market with my dad…read more When we lived in Kalihi, this was our usual spot. 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. Thank you, Tamashiro, for providing quality food and memories for so many years. You were more than a market--you were part of my childhood

Goodbye to another Hawaii landmark! Tamashiro Market is closing its doors on April 30, 2026…read more FPO and I went the Sunday before for one last tour of the legendary fish market. It looked the same as it did the first time I went with my grandfather. I picked up a couple pounds of dry aku for my favorite sister and some tee shirts as memorabilia. It was pretty busy and I expect that will continue until They close. Still, the people were nice and very helpful. I'm really going to miss it!
