Waikiki Market is a very nice grocery store just a few minutes from Waikiki Beach. Please note that some of your regular grocery items might be on the pricier side compared to other stores around here, but the quality of ready-to-eat food like their poke, sushi and hot meals is definitely worth stopping by! I came here because I was a little tired of the ABC stores around the area and just wanted to try something different. The store itself is pretty small but very nice and as soon as you walk in, you are greeted by the amazing staff. They have a really nice selection of ready-to-eat meals, which I would recommend, and they also have a huge selection of wine and beer. They also have a nice selection of souvenirs and handmade items, and they carry many local products and brands not seen at other stores.
Located in the heart of Waikiki, off Kuhio Ave, on the 2nd floor, is a Foodland branded Waikiki Market! The AC is always pumping, and it is immediately cute as soon as you step in the double sliding doors. I find the market is always pretty laid back, which is nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki streets. The aisle are fully stocked, people aren't crowding the way, and local products are promoted throughout. There are both self check out and maned cashiers upon exit. And both high top and coupled tables to sit at to enjoy your grab and go meal. You can never go wrong with my favorite classic turkey croissant sammie and lihing pineapples.
This market is located on the second floor, I walk up the stairs and I find this cute, organized, and well-stocked store with plenty of snacks to eat. I had a mini routine in Waikiki where I'd walk here and eat poke for breakfast. Why not?! I'm in Waikiki! There's cut fruit, poke, canned beans, drinks, wine, cheese, coffee, chocolates, a lot of things you can expect from a small grocery store. There are apartments above Waikiki Market so there's things you'll find to whip up a meal or grab a quick bite to eat. I did the latter. The workers here are super nice. One guided me to check out and another helped me find something I was looking for. Definitely check this place out!
After arriving onto the island, I made a quick stop to pick up a much needed quick lunch. This place is on the pricier side but mighty convenient. Food was delicious and easy for on the go!! Some items are on the pricey side which naturally makes sense since it's wrapped around so many Waikiki beach hotels.
This place is pricy for everyday staples, but the poke and hot foot stations are not only great value, they serve up top quality grindz. The store is a clean, well lighted gourmet grocery with an abundance of takeout options from the poke bar stacked with at least 7 varieties to the malasada bakery display, decked out in powdered sugar. There's a large and varied vino section, but you may find many of the wines cheaper elsewhere like at nearby ABC. Staff have plenty of aloha spirit yet keep things moving effectively to get you through the shopping process. As a bonus, there's an outdoor area overlooking Kūhiō with a few tables, so you can enjoy your takeout onsite.
BEST tip I got all week! Server at another spot told us about the Poke selection and samples here. kids returned to hotel after dinner and hubby and i came here to check it out and buy some rooms snacks. we had a blast sampling the Poke!! came back next day so the kids could order themselves a poke bowl for dinner ...they LOVED it so much!! i picked off of both of them ...my fav is the wasabi tuna poke..yum!!! the market has some hot food options and an adjacent restaurant plus full grocery store. we came back a few times throughout the week. love it here
I've been here many times every time I stay in Waikiki and this is my favorite spot to grab poke! Today I went in around 8:40am, already packed with Japanese tourist. Phil, who works at poke bar is amazing at his job. Without saying at word he started letting me try multiple type of poke and warmly welcomed all my request through process. Poke tastes fresh and great as usual. $15 for fresh poke is amazing deal for 2026 I think. I also love all the side pupu option at the end of poke making process. Highly recommended!!
I stayed at the outrigger right across the street so this market was a good find. The hot selections and poke were so good, and prices were decent. Some prices were better than Target. They had a nice selection of beer and wine.
We wanted to stop by Waikiki Market to grab a few things for a beach day, and ended up being way more impressed than expected. We picked up a half-pound of Hawaiian-style spicy poke, which was super fresh with a nice kick of heat, and it paired perfectly with the furikake wonton chips we already had. Honestly such a great snack combo. We also grabbed a sushi tempura roll and were surprised by how good it was since we saved it for the next day for an early morning snorkel sesh: it was fresh, crispy, and filled with big chunks of shrimp, easily better than what some sit-down restaurants serve. The crispy Japanese sweet potato drizzled with a bit of honey was incredibly comforting and homey, and a nice balance of sweet and savory. We also tried the chicken katsu, which had a light, crisp breading and came with fluffy white rice topped with furikake. The side potato salad was refreshing with nice, chunky pieces of potato and not overly heavy. Perfect spot to grab quality food quickly before heading out to do other day-long activities. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and way above typical "market food." Would absolutely stop by again on future trips.
Stopped by on a Wednesday night around 45 minutes prior to closing and was able to get poke - there were a few choices left but the person who was working hooked it up with hella samples and even lots of poke when we ordered the poke bowls. We enjoyed the friendliness of the employee, the fish was fresh and they definitely packed our bowl with lots of fish and toppings. Was able to stop by again Sunday morning prior to the airport and was able to order 1/2 pound to bring back to the mainland.
Well it's pricey but you get quality items and the best part is that the food court is open again! Poke is the best, get the bowl it's worth it! Service great too and clean sleek ambiance.
It can be a little difficult to get a proper Hawaiian Poké fix in Waikiki. There are no Foodlands and unless you've got a rental car, you're kind-of SOL. Sure there's Maguro Bros and a few other mainstays; but some of the Waikiki retailers have fallen into the California Poké trap where it's got carrots and edamame and quinoa mixed in. I'm sorry, but THAT is not poké. That is a salad. I'm talking Ahi Limu, Shoyu, Pipikaula, Spicy A'u with two scoops rice. You can get this at Waikiki Market, just a short walk from Kahanamoku Beach. They're fully stocked and the aunties at the counter are happy to talk story like you're in Temura Market. Auntie even gave me extra limu! There's fresh poi. There's fresh spam musubi at 7-Eleven prices, all the local drinks, and even really nice lei (though way more than you'll pay in Chintatown). There's this nice little walkway with tables that overlooks Ka'iulani Park, and I ended up just eating there because it was (still Waikiki though) quiet, there was an excellent breeze, very few birds, and a nice view. Only minus one star because it's def more expensive due to the location, and I think the poké could've been more finely chopped, but beggars can't be choosers, ya know?
This is a beautiful little market in the heart of Waikiki. They have great pizza and breads. They have a great Hawaiian deli. I got some smoked Aji tuna and crackers there and it was perfect for a beach picnic. Their prices are a little better than ABC markets. And it's beautiful inside it was a real treat. My credit card accidentally fell out of my wallet while I was there. I got all the way back to my hotel and realize that it had fallen out. When I got back, they had it waiting for me at the customer service counter. And they said that they were Willing to mail it back to me in the states if I didn't come back and get it. They were super sweet.

I don't know why Waikiki Market doesn't come up more often in foodie convos in this area. The prepared food section is massive with musubis, wings, local plates, baked goods, we probably stood there way too long trying to decide. The market itself is super clean and has a Whole Foods kind of vibe. Upstairs, there's an outdoor patio with wraparound seating. Bring your food out there for a chill dinner. The street view is great, and the vibe is super relaxed, whether you're by yourself or with a group. Salt & Vinegar Chicken Wings, Mac Salad, Rice- We built our own local plate, and those wings were next-level. Fried crispy outside, juicy inside, with a bold vinegar punch and the right amount of salt. The rice and mac salad were the perfect balance. We've been to Hawai'i plenty of times, and I'd come back just for those wings. Garlic Cheese Breadsticks- Crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, totally satisfying. Overall Service: Everyone was super friendly and helpful while we were picking our food. Even checkout was smooth. Classic good Hawai'i vibes all around. read more

Central shopping... With a lot of options to grab something to eat and shop for souvenirs it does get quite a bit overwhelming and exhausting to decide on a short amount of time but on my first visit to Waikiki Market awhile back when they first opened I was quite surprised to see the options they have here as for us locals are obvious that it's by Foodland but with a slight twist as not many are here for the basic grocery items and do love the vibe as they give us some suggestions for gifts or seasonal goods. As many grocery stores are offering some grab and go meal items it's nice to see them offer that here as well without going to restaurants as this informal option is nice with not just poke bowl but bakery and various plate lunches as well, as I had a bit of celebration here as well I do love that it's possible as our busy lives do need take moments for various needs. Thank you! read more
12/26/25 OK, this is a quick rather maybe descriptive update. I don't know if I said this before, but I do believe that the pizza has improved drastically. I have now included meat into my diet from the last four months I was pescatarian and vegetarian for about a year and a half but I went here and had their meat lover and a margarita pizza slice. I do apologize if any time you see half of my plate gone it means that I just enjoyed every bite of what I was eating so if you do read my reviews and you see half a plate eaten Then you know I was really enjoying what I was eating. That Margherita pizza it is a gradual component to what we all know as a Margherita pizza it does hint off quite lovely--The pesto is very well given in portion. I do believe that one of the things that I want to touch on about their pizza hopefully it doesn't change from here -- and hopefully someone from in that bake shop is reading this. "Don't change your bake time" . This pizza is perfect. It has that slight very, very slight hint of a crunch when you bite down on the portion of the bread that the pizza is made of and then it's very soft. It's much better than what it was before. This is exactly how I like to eat my pizza and if they continually make it this way then you will see me coming back again and again I had bought it from the last time, but I believe this time it's much better Plus it has a very enticing look to it where sometimes you do see something delicious but when you eat it, it has a different taste & or texture--- this top off both ends. It looks great you bite into it and it's perfect. It's supposed to be like what you see is what you get and so if you're going to get pizza from this place, it's worth it 9.99 for two slices Very large very perfect for lunch and or dinner. I highly recommend the pizza from the Waikiki market even if you don't get a meat lover slice or margarita maybe if you got the HAPA which is the chicken and or maybe the other offering of looks like it could've been just a pepperoni but --The bread they used and how it was baked the time taken put in for bake time or cook time of the pizza itself is amazing. It's spot on. I'll be back!! read more
Shopping in Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii... Waikiki Market is like Foodland Farms for tourists... LOL! Located on the second level of the Lilia Waikiki (apartment building), this grocery store has a rather challenging parking situation. I don't like to pay for parking, so I would walk from the Ala Wai or something... haha! Inside, it's really fancy, clean, bright, organized, and air-conditioned! There's lots of fresh produce, canned goods, freshly cur flowers, and Poke department, Bakery, merchandise, etc. Take a look around... you might find something you like! read more
Great selection of everyday groceries, snacks, and grab-and-go meals. Everything was pretty pricey but what isn't in Waikiki?! Service was okay. The cashier's weren't the friendliest. We came here to try their poke bar. It was very good but I have to say I enjoyed the poke at Foodland better. I also tried one of their flatbread pizzas. I'd pass on this. The flatbread was too doughy and greasy. read more

5/23/2026 still no fresh Poke. Only pre packaged are available. The market was not busy but was able to eat by their patio. I enjoyed the ambiance without being rushed. Hoping their deli/Poke opens up soon. The man attending the counter was super nice and welcoming. Will visit again. read more
We've been here at night and during the day. The downstairs bar is generally packed at any hour. Great place to grab a snack or shop for missing items you want to bring back home or to the hotel. The morning of my visit was met with a breakfast platter that included eggs, sausage and fried rice. Something our hotel could easily improve on. The food here is fantastic and the auntie behind the counter was everything and then some. Certainly a short conversation to talk story and joke about how everyone (so far) thinks I'm local but I'm not made its rounds and by the end of our laugh my food was ready and tagged. The market is open and airy both indoors and out. The restrooms are easily accessed by walking passed the restaurant and turning left into the hallway. Great place that is tucked away on Kuhio. I'll keep on coming back. Sometimes the convenience of location outweighs hauling my butt to Foodland! haha! read more

We were looking for fresh poke within walking distance from our hotel (the Lay Low) and it was only a block over. The poke was so fresh and flavorful! Yummy yummy! They are on the upscale side so pricing is slightly higher than Food Land ( which btw was a zoo, line was 30 people ahead of you), I'll gladly take Waikiki market over Foodland, for the everyday tourist. The surprise find: fresh local Longan, it was so good, I went back and bought 2 more packs, and liquor choices galore! There's also cooked food and bakery section. I didn't look produce or meats since who cooks on vacation anyways. read more
Came here for poke on our last day and was so pleasantly surprised! The poke station started at 10am on the Sunday we went and there was such a great variety of different types of poke / marinade. It wasn't very busy so the staff actually allowed us to sample some before picking out what we wanted. I got the rainbow poke and furikake tuna and both were incredibly fresh and delicious. Would definitely recommend for takeout poke! And much closer to our hotel than foodland. read more
Pros: convenient in the downtown area, made to order hot food options, generous poke samples before you buy Cons: really expensive!! This is definitely a bougie store that takes advantage of all the tourists. Better to go over to Foodland or Times to get your groceries read more

I came to Waikiki Market almost every day when I stayed at Agua Aloha Surf Hotel around the block. When I arrived at HNL Airport, I pulled up my Yelp app and trying to locate the cheapest restaurant to go near my hotel. I already knew how expensive everything is in Hawaii. For some reason, Waikiki Market kept showing up. I thought it's a market, but I need a restaurant. Not until I actually visited Waikiki Market to see why it shows up as the cheapest restaurant. Well, to be fair, it's the less expensive place to grab a quick bite at the food stands inside. Gee, I was here at least twice a day to get something. I felt like the cashiers already knew me. lol. My first trip was to get those 2 big jugs of water. Because I want easy access to drinking water at my hotel room. Next, I bought some delicious locally grown Kau Oranges. These looked ugly but they were sweet and juicy. I brought my friend to try poke next day. He felt in love with the island hospitality and those food vendors. I couldn't take him there anymore because he just won't leave. hahaha From way back when I lived in Waikiki, this location used to be a tiny supermarket in front of a bus stop. I think it was called Food Pantry. I remember I often shop there to get something quick because I was too lazy to drive to Foodland or Daiei. Also, around the corner was Perry's Smorgy Restaurant, where me and my hubby loved to dine there on special days. Now, the land is being used for a high-rise condo called Lilia Waikiki. I found an article about Perry's Smogy that closed in 2010. https://www.staradvertiser.com/2010/08/29/hawaii-news/perrys-smorgy-restaurant-in-waikiki-closing-doors/ read more
Located on the second floor of a building on the Waikiki beach strip surrounding area. There's a security personnel at the door for safety reasons. It was a nice and clean super market that had specialty deli stations with unique food offerings. read more
