And let me tell you, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that didn't hit. Foodland understands the assignment when it comes to beach grindz.

There's an ABC store here, a pricey market and a deli. We got some burgers that were just ok with overcooked fries and some groceries for our suite because we were cooking breakfast at the hotel. They have a decent selection here.

I didn't realize this was supposed to be the gourmet version of ABC Stores, but ironically, it…read moreturned out to be my least favorite of all the ABC locations I've visited. The store itself is enormous and beautiful, of course, but my complaint is specifically about the food section, where they prepare and sell meals for customers to enjoy on-site. We decided to give the food a try, and the experience was unnecessarily frustrating from the start. After receiving our meals, I asked the cashier for some hot sauce and teriyaki sauce. Her immediate response was essentially "no" to both requests. "No hot sauce, just Tabasco." Um... Tabasco is hot sauce, so yes, I'll gladly take that! Then, when I asked about teriyaki sauce, she said, "No, you'd have to pay for that." Okay??? Then charge me! I wasn't asking for a complimentary lifetime supply of teriyaki sauce. I just wanted some sauce with my food! And unfortunately, the kalua pork moco loco desperately needed it. Everything was so bland that the tiny amount of hot sauce they initially gave me wasn't nearly enough. Not wanting to go through another awkward exchange over something as trivial as condiments, I sent my husband back and asked him to get six packets of Tabasco. They gave him two. When he politely asked for more, they looked at him as though he'd requested that they draw blood from their own veins to produce the additional sauce. And even after all that, it STILL wasn't enough, that's how bland the food was. I genuinely cannot stand establishments that are so absurdly stingy with condiments that customers have to keep asking, over and over again, only to be reluctantly handed another packet or two. It's uncomfortable, unnecessary, and frankly ridiculous, especially when the food itself is so lacking in flavor that the condiments are doing most of the work. For a place marketed as a more upscale, "gourmet" version of ABC Stores, you'd think the food would be flavorful enough to stand on its own, or at the very least, that getting a few extra packets of hot sauce wouldn't feel like negotiating a hostage release. Beautiful store, disappointing food, and an unnecessarily unpleasant experience over something that should have been incredibly simple.

However there was zero aloha spirit coming from this place. If someone is spending 50-70 bucks in your store at least try to manage a little friendliness. People work their whole lives to visit the place you call home, and you're lucky enough to live there. We never have experiences like this with native Hawaiian or true local businesses who embody Aloha and all the reasons we love Hawai'i so much. Yes I'm a visitor, but I definitely wouldn't shop here if I was a local either. If you're having a tough time that's okay, we all have our days, but don't bring it to work where people are financially supporting your business with their hard earned money. Or- go out of your way to be unpleasant. Instant mood killer.

They have no problem ignoring you and even giggle about it and talk trash about you while talking trash about their co-workers. If you ask them for help they tend to get fussy. I've seen this happen many times at THIS LOCATION and it's happened to me too. This was at night too and I've noticed that this location, particularly at night, has very rude employees. At the ending of the day it is a gas station and I'm there to get what I need and be on my way. Their food is great, I must say. The fried chicken and potato wedges--or even bentos is a MUST when stopping there. ***I was just there last night, 7/14/26 and there were 2 employees on the floor talking smack about one of their co-workers. I grabbed what I needed and waited at the register. The employee was standing about 6 feet away from me making drum noises on a pile of boxes and I asked her if anyone was at the register. She said "Yeah, SHE IS" and pointed to the other employee pulling trash from the hot food area. There was also another customer standing behind me waiting to check-out. The drumming of boxes continued too from the other employee.*** If you don't need to go there, go to the next gas station. They are my "emergency only" gas station and when on empty I'll put in $10 (when I actually need $85-$100) and fill up at the next gas station that deserves the business. 5 stars for food and 1 for customer service.

Today, one of the managers actually took the time to go full FBI forensic analyst on my account and finally fixed it. Honestly, I could go to KTA or Foodland, but I keep coming back because this place still has that small-town village vibe where people know you and genuinely care. The pharmacists have personally called me about medication interactions, helped with refill issues, and even contacted my provider for me when prescriptions got stuck in bureaucratic limbo. The cashiers have also saved me money by pointing out better deals before I checked out, which in this economy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Corporate really should invest more into this location because the staff is fantastic. Maybe start with better coolers before the beer reaches "lightly simmered" status. Good people.
