    Taro
    Paul C.

    After gawking at the high prices of taro chips at Nico's Pier 38, my friend wanted to try making taro chips. I told him it's just like making homemade potato chips but using taro instead of spuds. He mentioned about getting some taro at Whole Foods, where I started to gawk because Whole Foods made be a specialty store with great variety but their prices are on the high side! So, being born and raised on Maunakea Street, I knew if you looked around Chinatown you can find inexpensive produce so I was on a mission to find CHEAP taro. Muwahahaha!!! I have my go-to shops in Chinatown - - fresh seafood, live crabs, fruit and veggies, look funn noodles, etc.. When it comes to taro, I usually order it at restaurants when I have a craving for KAU YUK (pot roast pork belly). Not having a go-to taro store, I wandered around Chinatown until I came across Wing Cheong on Hotel Street. This is a small store which carries dried goods, packaged Chinese goodies, canned Chinese ingredients and some fresh produce. As you walk into the store they have lots of things all stacked up or in boxes and they also have some things for sale in front of their store along the sidewalk. This is where I noticed the taro! Compared with other produce stores, I find the taro here are larger and more cheaper with savings of about 30 cents per pound. Please keep in mind that when shopping in Chinatown, don't expect good service, a smile or a "thank you" greeting. The lady here behind the cashier gives you a stoic look and very robot-like. Once my taro was $7.01 and I didn't have a penny with me. I gave her a $20 and perhaps it was wrong of me to expect $13 in change but she handed me back $12.99!!! I did come across an unusual species of fresh mushroom here as I have never seen it at any store before (a very large ENOKI mushroom that is thick) one day so I gave it a try. It was not bad and when I went back to get it a couple of weeks later they didn't carry it! It wasn't a deal-breaker to get the same mushroom so I instead went to one of my go-to produce stores for fresh mushrooms. Overall, a general store in Chinatown where the things are cheap here but don't expect good customer service. Make sure to go through this check list: 1) have cash available as many Chinese stores don't accept plastic 2) find what you want to buy 3) check the expiration date 4) pay for the item and don't expect first-come, first serve because the elder Chinese peeps tend to rush to the front regardless of peeps standing in line. 5) check your change 6) walk out with your purchase

    Spicy lemon and lychee are my favorite flavor

    My favorite seeds store. It is hard to find the real deal without aspartame or other fake sugars.

    I absolutely LOVE their spicy dried lemon. So ono! And of course all the other dried and preserved seeds that they have.

    I've enjoyed going to 1-2 Buy since they were in their old, warehouse-like location. Now they're in…read morea shiny new space that is more like a normal store with shelves. I always come here "just to look," but end up with a gigantic, branded reusable bag filled to the brim with imported Asian snacks. 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. Some snacks are repeated in different spots on the shelves to make it look like there's more variety. My favorite latiao that I used to get at their old location is no longer available. :( I'll keep coming back regularly because they're always getting new items in stock.

    Hooray! One 2 Buy has added price tags to most of the items!…read more A number of items I looked at had English nutrition labels as well. Not everything, but it's a great improvement. The back of the store now has lights on. You can see in the back of the store. You no longer need to be apprehensive about venturing in the back of the previously unlit store. There is air conditioning, however, it doesn't seem to work well. I was in here for ten minutes and perspiring due to humidity and heat. I asked the one employee if she was uncomfortable in working in this heat. She replied that they are required to keep the front door open to let customers know it's open, so much of the cooled air escapes. It is crazy warm inside. Service is good. The one employee must stock, look out for customers and ring up sales. There is a half off table that I didn't observe in the past. Some of the drinks in the refrigerated section appear ready to burst. Overall, plus one star for labeling and price tags. I picked up a few sugar free and low calorie drinks to try here.

I decided to do the long walk from Waikiki down to the store, and I was so rewarded for the effort. Walking up and the row of epic restaurant stalls had me grinning from ear to ear. There were so many delicious options OUTSIDE the store that I almost never made it in. From handrolls featuring the freshest seafood from Hokkaido to wagyu kushiyaki and more, my mouth was watering seeing it all beautifully displayed in the windows, and I'm surprised no one said anything about my gawking. Don Q is such a fun store because they have anything and everything you can think of across nearly every category. If I said they're like the Japanese Walmart, it wouldn't hit quite right because the quality and breadth of the selections here are far better. My favorite part of visiting Don Q has to be the incredible array of Asian specialty ingredients and snacks they sell and the reasonable prices. I picked up some gifts here including some exceptional styles of furikake and togarashi, but saw way too many other things I wanted. They also have amazing prepared foods here, specifically Japanese items. There's an entire sushi counter featuring all cuts of bluefin and more, freshly made onigiri, great selection of bentos and and poké too! You really owe it to yourself to visit!

You know those snack boxes that people sell online with snacks from Japan or wherever? I'd imagine just grabbing a bunch of these snacks and candies and curating your own box lol You can tell that they're still setting up, but there was still enough to keep us intrigued! We initially said we didn't need a cart, but we were so wrong. We grabbed some random snacks just to try and review with each other, and compare them to the ones here in the States! We grabbed almost a cartful of snacks... not even ashamed to say it, but the total came to around $43, which to me wasn't that bad. All in all, we're gonna come back again or even check out the one on the other side of town!

This store is spacious, bright, and new. Everything is very organized and easy spot the price. Compared to the main store, this one has mainly snacks and edible items, but a lot of more fragrance and cosmetic items. We even found some items cheaper at this store. The weird thing about this store is the flooring is not level. About 8 feet from the windows toward the parking lot, the floor slants down, so your cart will run away or you might feel a little dizzy from the imbalance. Overall, a nice spacious and clean store with a good amount of Asian snacks and food items. A nice addition to the neighborhood. No need to go into town now for these things. Cashiers were nice and friendly. Besides the unleveled floor, this is a more comfortable place to shop compared to the main store.
