    Ahi Poķe bowl for under
    Wayne I.

    Checkout Tokyo Central if you're looking for a cheap but tasty bento or poke bowl. I found food for under $10 - Yes, under ten dollars. Perfect grab-and-go food. I didn't try the sushi this time but will be back to give it a try. There's plenty of free parking which makes it convenient.

    Such a fun place to go through and check out. We ended up buying a lot of things to try. Found the viral chocolate coated ice cream in the shape of a fruit. These were grapes and it was very delicious. Even tasted like fruit jellies within the ice cream. Parking can be hit or miss with the lot sharing stalls with many other businesses. We got lucky with a stall but could see people had to circle during lunch on a Sunday. Check out the pictures for all the treats we found and what we thought!

    Nice bags!

    This Japanese Supermarket is where the Times Supermarket used to be. It feels like Times/local supermarket had a baby with a Japanese supermarket and this is the result. Upon entering on the right are grab-n-go desserts and meals. Local veggies. Japanese toiletries. There are sushi plates and poke bowls near the cashiers. Some items are super reasonable and others not that reasonable. Just gotta look around and know your prices. Friendly clerks. Lots of parking in this strip mall but at certain times it can get busy. I felt like a took a little trip to Japan and poof, I walked out of the market and was returned into Kailua town.

    This was a disappointment for me since Sundays they don't have hot food for sale. Also I wanted the sukiyaki beef bowl that they don't have here but they sell on the mainland. We got two things of nigiri blue fin tuna and scallops. The blue fin toro was alittle chewy for me. The scallop was yummy. And good sizes.

    Oh, how I wished I lived closer to this only Tokyo Central in Hawaii. I know it's basically like a baby Marukai with a hint of Don Quijote and Times, but it has more unique and quality items for their meats, produce, bentos, beers, and etc., and also it's special Japan fairs somewhat similar to Marukai. Just less often. This place is located at the former Times Supermarket location at the Kailua Shopping Center along Kailua Road with an entrance directly from Hahani St. There's an okay amount of parking, but it can get busy on certain days. Inside is spacious, clean, and bright. Each section and aisle are organized and easy to browse. There are a lot of variety of items at almost every section with a strong focus on specialty products from Japan, especially its snacks. The meat section offers a wider variety of cuts and the quality looks better than most places. Overall, a nice store to shop in, and a big welcome to the East side of the island as it's the only one that offers this much Asian goods. Everything is similar to Marukai, Don Quijote, and Times, but there are a bit more unique selections and more quality products compared to its fellow stores. Staff is friendly. Store is clean and organized. Sales are two week long. Let's open more of these!

    Tokyo in Kailua... Sad to see the sign of "Times" leave Kailua though welcome something that is hard to find are some asian grocery items though I'm not from the area I can just imagine that finding some ingredients to make various asian items is very much needed. Walking in is the first thing I see are various Hello Kitty items of all kinds along with snacks totes and various Japanese merchandises. Right along side seems to be the most popular that I see many find the need to stop and browse are the hot grab and go bentos and is quite an impressive variety from the classic tempura and chicken katsu to okonomiyaki and omusoba which really got me drooling lol! It's nice that they do label some potential allergy ingredients and right beside that are the chilled bentos along with some fruit sando. Poke and sushi counters are there as well so that doesn't leave much room for an actual grocery store but somehow manage to squeeze all the basic necessities as well, just nice to see this option for the local folks to have though parking at Kailua Shopping Center is the real challenge as the lot is quite small and with just one way directed traffic can cause you to wait behind ones that are waiting for stalls but is it worth the wait, it sure is. Thank you!

    Stumbled onto this market while my husband was shopping at the local bookstore nearby. I was starving and always love a market. Walked in and couldn't believe my eyes! As I walked down each aisle, my astonishment just got bigger and bigger ... why don't we have this market at home in LA? And what is it doing here in little Kailua? Luckily I snapped out of my dream state and got to the sushi station. Absolutely unbelievable selections of premade sushi - I could not choose. Finally I grabbed some hamachi at a ridiculously low price and headed for checkout. All I could think of is, can I move here? And if so, can I just come here everyday? The hamachi was even better than it looked and I reluctantly shared with my husband. As we were only visiting Kailua for the day, I almost cried when we had to leave. Still dreaming of Tokyo Central. And found a few branches in LA - not near where I live. About an hour away. May still be worth the drive!

    Poke counter

    Staff is very kind and friendly! Absolutely love the quality of the poke! We got the spicy ahi and Mauna Kea poke bowls & Tofu Watercress. Everything we got was delicious and there were no leftovers. So many Japanese snack and drink options. They also have a good selection of bentos and sandwiches.

    Nice Japanese market like Marukai or a much smaller version of Don Quixote located in Kailua, where Times Supermarket used to be.
    Wina G.

    A mini Don Quixote in Kailua town in the strip mall. Used to be Times Supermarket. It's nice and clean and has meat department, fruits and veggies, etc. Pretty much a Japanese supermarket with some sundries as well. There's a hot food counter and the wagyu stick place from the Kaheka DQ store is there too. Yay! You gotta try it- yummy! Miss the Times but at least a supermarket took its place

    Tokyo Central

    After seeing post after post about Tokyo Central on my IG feed, the excitement was building. I thought this was going to be something new and innovative. But sadly I wasn't that impressed. I guess it may be because I live somewhere where I can go to Don Quijote, Marukai, or even Daiso within 10 minutes. Tokyo Central is a blend of Times Supermarket and Don Quijote. You can get American brand foods and Japanese brand foods all in the same place. It's an awesome mix to bring the best of both worlds together. You can grab a poke bowl and a bento all in the same place. This store caters to locals and tourists alike. There's a Hawaii souvenirs section for the tourists to grab omiyage to take home. There's a Sanrio character goods section with Bandai Namco goods right next to it as well. I overheard an employee telling a customer that Times Kailua was the lowest producing Times store. This is why they rebranded it to become Tokyo Central. I must say it's a step up from just a Times Supermarket. So while it may not have knocked off my socks, I must say for Kailua, it is impressive. You don't see these types of grocery stores in that city. It gives access to popular Japanese items to those living in the area so they don't have to make a trip into town.

    Walking into Japan and immerse in egg sandwich and sushi. Endless items to look at, one can probably spend an entire morning here looking at all these interesting and delicious food items. We brought an egg sandwich , a tuna sandwich, a strawberry custard sandwich, a mochi dessert and the tako balls. They are all delicious. The staffs in the store are all very nice.

    5-26-24 As soon as we took one step in it smells like a seafood market to me. To the right are prepackaged prepared food items. Further to the right are fresh fruits and vegetables that looked fresh and organized. I recently read in an article that the healthiest items are on the perimeter so we followed that advice and did not go row to row. It seemed most shoppers were like us just curious since it recently opened. Word of advice don't just finish a meal before you come cuz you're less likely to put items into your shopping cart. We only bought the pink mochi and the pink pickled garlic. A good looking variety of cuts of meat followed by fish and sashimi. From the left of my vision I saw scallops and duck in the freezer section. They have cartoned beverages followed by beer and other alcohol. I looked quickly as we passed the ice cream section. I didn't see Roselani brand. It kinda felt like Marukai or alittle like H Mart to me: no spacious aisles and not airy or bright like Safeway Waikele as a comparison. It didn't have the wow vibe but I'm glad there were customers shopping. The cashiers I saw while we were leaving looked seasoned. Congratulations on your opening in Kailua. The parking lot is shared with many other businesses but we got a space right in front of their entrance a couple row back.

    Shopping in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii... When one door closes, another door opens... That's what has happened here on the Windward side of the island... Times Supermarket closed, and in its place, Tokyo Central opened! I missed the Grand Opening on 5-10-24, and the FREE exclusive green EcoBag with $50 purchase. However, this cute kitty bag is still available for sale. Other reviews and photos focused on the food items from Japan. I mainly looked at the Sanrio x Creme collaboration merchandise. I've seen some of these cosmetic items at other stores, and I have been to Tokyo Central on the mainland. There weren't too many new things for me. Maybe I should go back for the green EcoBag before it's sold out! I will take a closer look at the Bakery, Okazuya department, Poke selections, and the sushi corner!

    Donki is not a store. It is a side-quest…read more After dinner one evening, my twinsie, "Auntie" Nadine C., turned to me, whispering almost conspiratory, "Have you heard about Don Quijote?" Don Quixote? The titular protagonist of Miguel de Cervantes' 17th-century Spanish novel, often considered the first modern novel? No, not him. Side-quest unlocked: Go to Don Quijote to looks at Trader Joe's-like bags and peruse affordable macadamia nuts. Imagine if a Japanese convenience store, Costco, Walmart, Japanese pop culture, and a late-night snack gremlin all moved into one building and decided to co-habilitate. That's Don Quijote, or as locals lovingly know it: Donki. Don Quijote is Japanese discount megastore in Honolulu where you walk in for one bottle of water and somehow leave an hour later with Japanese cheesecake, body wash, a rice cooker, novelty socks, a plush penguin, Spam musubi, an ankle brace, and at least one item that made you say, "Well, I've never seen that before." Every aisle is an adventure. It's part grocery store, part pharmacy, part souvenir shop, part beauty supply, part snack paradise, and part "why are they selling this and why do I suddenly need it?" The shelves are packed to the ceiling, the signage is loud, the deals are good, and the whole place feels like a treasure hunt designed by someone who drank three Red Bull Kyoho Grapes and said, "More products! More fun! No empty shelf space!" The Honolulu location is also gloriously open 24 hours, which means it serves a very specific and beautiful type of chaos: jet-lagged tourists like myself, night owls craving Japanese curry, and people making questionable but spiritually necessary 1:11 a.m. purchases. TL;DR, Don Quijote is less of a store and more of an experience. A slightly overwhelming and delightfully unhinged retail adventure.

Many Chinese products, but also Korean, Japanese, Thai, etc. Snacks range from exotic chip flavors to candies and sodas. Further back you'll find more substantial instant noodle meals. The Chinese ones are actually great and are way more complex ingredients-wise than your standard instant noodle. Also in the back are Chinese cooking ingredients such as sauces and dry goods, but my favorite is the super thick, wide glass noodles that I use for hot pot. There's also a small section with Asian toiletry products that I've personally never tried. I must say it feels like there is less variety of items since they moved locations.

It's sour with good umami flavor. I'm not a real Korean so I prefer kimchi that is a bit more fresh and not as aged, but I can see how some would like it. I also tried their japchae made in house. Not bad, but definitely not the best I've had, not enough sesame oil for my taste. They also have the popular fried strawberries snacks for sale. I also got a frozen musubi and some abalone congee to try. (The congee is really tasty!) There's also the famous fancy hotel kimchi for sale here if that's what you're into. All the products look interesting!

    Marukai is that spot where you can find products from Japan that aren't mainstream, but are…read moreabsolutely delicious. I enjoy the seafood and the meats are absolutely prime cuts. I haven't tried their hot and ready foods, but the foods that we get to cook with are top notch in quality and value. Hubs is one of those guys who will drive the cart and add what he sees and wants to try, so when I just need one or two things, I leave him home. What can I say, sometimes willy nilly shopping can get expensive! The staff are all friendly and helpful and they have spotlighted areas in Japan which rotate regularly. If you want to know what area they are spotlighting, I suggest getting on the digital mailer so you can see the sales and specials. If you are a fan of wagyu and kurobota pork, this is your spot. When I make sweet and sour spare ribs, this is the only place that I can find the ribs cut long way (makes for more meat and easier eating). If you are a fan of hot pot, they have soups ready to go. They also have veggies and noodles premade and all the cuts of meat for that shabu shabu experience. The construction on the rail makes the entrance a little tricky depending on what side of the island you are coming from, just know there is a back entrance behind the gas station.

    This store has a lot of products, food, and drinks to choose from. So much great food and…read moredrinks...my goodness! The hot foods and cold foods like the sushi...amazing! I really enjoy the hot food line they have. Everyday there's different dishes they have you can purchase for plate lunches. The store is pretty clean. The only thing is that the store needs to have the floor fixed and redone. The floor has cracks all over the store. Plus the floors are uneven. If you leave your shopping cart unattended, you may see your cart rolling off in different directions due to the uneven floor. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    My go to place to buy quick lunch / eats nearby…read more I love japanese eats and for something quick and priced reasonably this is the best spot to grab something. I have enjoyed buying the black cod bento rice plates here because for the price and the amount you pay its a deal to enjoy black cod fish that is grilled with sushi rice, along with sides of mac salad, pickles. The fish is tender and cooked perfectly with the soft rice and the mac salad is delicious as well. They are priced the same so I usually pic the 2 slabs of fish that are larger than others. LOL Quick snacks of buying ice cream cones from japan costing $9 and you get 6 cones with 2 different flavors. Also tapioca bowls, and japanese custard cups also fresh sushi rolls are available. They charge for a bag here so you are better off grabbing a "vegetable produce" bag nearby the sushi roll area and bagging your items and eating your food in their food court area where I hear the ramen spot there is delicious. The food court has a microwave to reheat bento plates and also they offer a hot water pot for ramen bowls to be eaten. You have to hunt down napkins and utensils so its best to ask the cashier for these items before you leave the cash register. Across this store is the Magnolia halo halo ice cream shop. A filipino shave ice / ice cream eatery.

While browsing, I noticed a very small section of face masks, and surprisingly they had the exact masks I'd been desperately looking for. I couldn't find them anywhere else, not even Don Don Donki or Don Quijote have them. So I immediately bought three packs, which should last me for the next several months. Definitely a convenient stop with some unexpected gems!

    Shopping in Kailua, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Strolling along the sidewalk, I passed by Aloha Kira and did a double take. I saw Miffy on the top shelf of this store. I had to go in and ask... "Is this store related to the one in Waikiki?" Yes! This is the sister store of Kira x Miffy at the Royal Hawaiian Center! Of course, we had to look at all of the Miffy merchandise... fanny packs, hair clips, stickers, caps, plushies, etc. Other items featured Hello Kitty, Kuromi, My Melody, Snoopy, and more! There were pet gifts and a children's corner! The decor was cute and bright! Service was cheerful and attentive! We'll be back because this shop is more convenient than Waikiki! Plus... there's free parking behind the building!

Everytime we go in, they are sure to give Lando so much love and treats. When I try on clothes, the girls here even offer to hold Lando when I'm in the dressing room. Lando will pull me to Aloha Kira everytime we're in the area- he loves the cute dog sections with dog toys and bandanas. The curation of all the stuff here is immaculate - exactly my style! My biggest weakness is baggu bags- and they always have all the newest styles and colors. I will always check Aloha Kira before buying it online and avoid the shipping costs and wait. The selection here rotates so they always have the newest trends- from dresses, matching sets, and I love getting sunglasses from here. If you're looking for a gift for the "it girl" in your life, Aloha Kira is the shop to check out! It's a good price range, especially for gifts!
