White baby's breath, purple poms, and leather leaf ferns from Safeway Mililani
Lehuanui W.

My family likes shopping at this Safeway because it's usually pretty mellow (except for the $5 Fridays-as expected) and we always get quality products: meats, produce, etc. The store is clean and bright. The shelves are normally very well stocked. All of the staff is super patient, friendly, and helpful which is great for a large family with young kids. However, today's visit was probably the exception to the norm. I purchased some flowers and ferns (for a lei I was planning on making) from the Floral dept which was well stocked. When I got home, the baby's breath that I purchased ($8.99) was already turning brown at the bottoms. I wouldn't have seen it there because the parts that were brown was in the inside and was only noticeable when pulling it apart. I was so sad, but I made it work by spray painting it. So nothing was wasted, but just words of advice to check the bunches well and there's no shame in taking it over to the workers to have them open the bunches to double check the freshness of it ESPECIALLY if it is for lei! Which reminds me... $29.99 for a crown flower lei?! Dang!!!

Safeway at Mililani Marketplace

Safeway is the anchor tenant for Mililani Marketplace. Situated on Mehe'ula Parkway. I think Safeway and the shopping center have been here around 12 years. It is one of the smaller Safeways but it still brings grocery chain consistency and convenience. And they are open on Christmas Day. They have four self-checkout stalls and on this Christmas morning, they were fairly busy. Parking lot has plenty of stalls.

Safeway is the only national grocery store that has made a space for themselves in Hawaii. (Whole Foods does not count as a regular grocery store!) The chain has opened a few fancy new stores here on Oahu, but this particular location has a decades long history in the community it serves. It's almost a given that you will become familiar with your fellow shoppers here, and there's a good chance that they have been your close neighbors all along. The prices are often higher than in other stores, but they also carry a few things that are harder to find, so if you have a taste for a non local flavor, Safeway is a great place to check. They have a really nice app, so is very easy to navigate through the sales and coupons. Make sure to check out the Friday deals, as there are often amazing bargains.

Shopping in Mililani, Oahu, Hawaii... Since I was already at Mililani Marketplace, I thought that I should take a look at Safeway. I didn't really need anything, but the air-conditioning sure felt wonderful! I appreciated the clean, organized environment. I especially liked the fresh flowers at the front of the store. In the back, I scanned the Clearance items... hmmm... good deals, but nothing really popped out. The workers are friendly and helpful. I asked one employee if there was a restroom... Yes! Go down aisle 3, enter the swinging doors, and turn left! Thank you!

Sounds yummy

Safeway shopping... We all have our favorite spots to find the usual items we crave and are found in the convenience of our supermarket and Safeway is one of mine. This location is in the Mililani Marketplace one of the smaller shopping center and this location does seem a bit dated but is kept very clean and organized. Staff here is friendly as they greeted me when I walked in and browsed around to see the usual poke our local favorite and many grab and go treats and meals. Since I was in the area I was looking for a few specific items and know that they do have it here and decided to browse which is always fun since they do carry some usual and limited items as well and sort of found it and proceeded to the self check out and was delighted to see that someone forgot their change and another thing I do love about Safeway...they always have restrooms for us to use as well. Thank you!

I enjoy shopping Safeway because you can always find good deals. I just missed $5 Fridays. Today, meats were on sale. Various Mother's Day flower bouquets & Desserts as well. It's always clean and organized. You'll always see someone stocking up the shelves. More importantly, the staff here is always friendly. Only downside is since they've opened the self checkouts, there's never enough registers open. If you're in a rush- patience is a virtue. Happy Shopping

Looking for...FLOWERS? No need to find a florist, just head on over to your friendly neighborhood SAFEWAY! Yes, folks...I'm talking about a grocery store that has a quality FLORIST! You will find beautiful flowers at a REASONABLE PRICE,. They have a variety of FLOWERS . Just to name a few...Roses, Daisies, Mum's, Sunflowers, Hydrangeas, Baby's Breath, Tropical, Lilies, Spring mixes, Leis, Haku leis, Floral arrangements, Potted plants and so much more. If you go on a Friday, usually there is a $5 special on a small bouquet of flowers. Now, that is a pretty GOOD DEAL ! I'm here almost every other Friday picking up flowers. Lol. Not only does Safeway have a nice selection of flowers, they also have awesome SERVICE! Their florist will take the time to assist you in anyway that they can. If they can't assist you, they will seek help from another location of theirs. Whenever I have questions or need assistance, I always receive EXCELLENT CARE! On one particular occasion, I went to Safeway to purchase flowers to make a haku lei for my daughter's luau. I asked... Dhar...the florist for some suggestions on flowers to use for the haku lei. He was willing to spend a good amount of time with me. I selected a bunch of flowers before I asked him for help and he told me to put those back. He mentioned that the bunch wouldn't last on a haku lei. Thank goodness for him. Lol, I put those back and picked up mini pink carnations and baby's breath. I told Dhar that my daughter's clothes was blue and white. He suggested getting mini white carnations and he would spray paint the flowers blue for no additional charge. Unfortunately, he didn't have any at his store. Therefore, he called the Waikele store to see if they had any. Yes, they did and they would put it on hold for me. After he made the call, I decided not to do that and so I kept the pink mini carnations. I thanked Dhar for his help and I went on my way. Later that evening, my daughter mentioned that she was hoping for flowers that would match clothes. She was okay with the pink carnations, but I know in my heart that she wasn't as happy. I wanted my daughter to be happy with the haku lei that I would make for her. Therefore, I called the Waikele Safeway and spoke to Karen to see if they still had the white mini carnations. They had one bunch left, and so she saved it for me. The floral manager...Leila ( I think this is her name ?) okayed me to return the pink carnations for an even exchange for the white carnations. In the end, I made the haku lei with the white carnations, baby's breath and some greenery from a friend's yard. Everything worked out well, and the haku lei turned out...BEAUTIFUL and my daughter was so...HAPPY! A BEAUTIFUL HAKU LEI + a HAPPY DAUGHTER = HAPPY MOM! Mahalo nui loa...Dhar, Karen, Leila and Safeway for all that you did for me! I couldn't have asked for a better florist and outstanding team of florists! Cheehou! So, if you are looking for a variety and quality flowers at a reasonable price, check out SAFEWAY, You'll thank me for that!

I love going to Safeway to shop for grocery items when they have a sale on certain items. Hubby stocks up.on sodas when they have buy two get three free or something like that. I like picking up snacks and random items. This location was clean and items were easy to find. Most Safeways have the bakery section where you can order cakes in advance and a food section where you can get chicken with sides or sandwiches made fresh. I definitely like that. They have ads that come out every week so check out to see what they have. For every member, they give out a free item. You just have to click on every item on your app to get the deals. I definitely will be back again. Highly recommend if you're going grocery shopping.

This is the type of food I received on my plate lunch. The hot pocket and corn dog was over cook and hard.

This was over cook and hard and I had already left the town of mililani . It was such a disappointment and waste of money

The only spot I know that has strawberry cheesecake ice cream!  & rocky road for my other personality...

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.

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.

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.

Is it a supermarket…read more.. I say this because upon entering it's like a food court, as first you see Teapresso Bar with full offerings of drinks you then see an insane selection of baked goods more than some small bakeries offer along with plate lunch, smoked meat, pizza and even roast pork handing under the warmer...all this before I enter the grocery sections you see graduation leis, UH merchandise and various grab and go treats as well. It's a beautiful supermarket that nice and clean very well organized with displayed items neatly placed and the vibe here is just so calm and friendly I was just very impressed with it all knowing that I can purchase items already made before entering to shop is quite deceiving and tempting but is nice to know for busy folks that they do have you covered whether you're in a rush or just need a single ingredient this is the place to go and support all things local. Thank you!

I would not recommend Times Supermarket for a poke bowl…read more The portions of both poke and rice were inconsistent, and the employees seemed unsure about how much to serve each customer. We returned our poke bowls because our portions were noticeably smaller than those given to other customers. We ultimately chose pizza instead because we were not confident we would receive a properly portioned poke bowl. Pizza was fairly priced and we enjoyed the Goomba. There is an unpleasant odor in the facility. The atmosphere was busy and casual, as expected for a supermarket, but the service at the poke counter made the experience frustrating.

SERVICE: fast n' friendly INTERIOR: clean, organized, have merch for sale EXTERIOR: in Kalihi WAIT TIME: none, arrived around 12:30pm on a weekday PARKING: limited spaces in the front, tight stalls OVERALL COMMENTS: wish I came back sooner. Loved everything that we ordered. The roast pork was perfectly cooked, crunchy exterior n' juicy interior. Spicy ahi was fresh n' had just the right amount of sauce with hints of sweetness. The potato Mac salad had its distinct sweet flavor that makes it its own; all the ingredients work nicely together. That Kulolo crunch dessert was so yummy. If you see it, you need to get it. Already wanting to go back just to eat it all over again!

Oh no Alicia's! What happened?!…read more We always visit Alicia's and get the roast pork and limu poke bowl. Unfortunately this time, the roast pork had a weird flavor. It tasted like old pork, funky, unclean, and edges were very tough. Skin was ok, but not as crackly as before. Limu poke was still good but the sweet onion poke was too salty and the spicy poke was too sweet. Poke slices were inconsistent, some were perfect poke squares and some were random sizes. Wasabi scallops were scrumptious! Rice was cooked perfectly. We always crave Alicia's when back in the homeland but the past 2 years were a miss. I want the old Alicia's back! Service is always good with very happy and pleasant folks. When entering the store, you go through a turnstile and approach a small counter to place your order, then pay at the register by the door. They also have some local snacks and other food like Kulolo and musubis which we didn't try. Hoping quality can get back to the old days. For now, we're in search for a new poke bowl place.

Their win ton mein isn't that good since the won ton seems pasty. The pho comes with chicken rather than traditionally beef, watch out for those gigantic jalapeños. From the hot bar, my favorites are the Chinese style ginger fish and the sweet potato haupia squares. The best deal is that on Fridays it is $6 a pound! otherwise is is $12 a pound, I also like to get their bentos if headed to a ball game or just need a quick to go meal. They also have an okazuya, fried chicken, pizza, musubi, poke station. m My only wish is if they could expand a Foodland Farms in Kaneohe!
