    a sign in front of a building
    Irene M.

    Thank you Alvin... It's a place that if you know...you know. Yobo Mart is located right on the corner of Pensacola and Davenport Street in the midst of Makiki it's been on my mind for quite some time as seeing the pics posted by bestie Alvin though without Yelp directions I would have no clue where to find them. It is on the ground floor of Village Maluhia condos which is rare for this part of town and with a giant garbage truck blocking Davenport Street for quite some time I almost gave up as there's zero parking in the area I drove into the building's parking lot accessible on Davenport Street only to realize it's for tenants only...oops! The menu here is quite simple and the standard love of all things Korean food I really wanted the Korean BBQ Chicken and Kalbi though don't see it as an option and asked if that's possible...and yes it was woohoo!! This mart is quite busy with a steady flow of peeps coming in for various reasons, snacks, household items, or just a drink what a treasure to have this gem conveniently available for the neighboring area. I could smell the cooking in the back and mmmmm it's making me so hungry the generous portion makes it impossible to see the three compartment plate...two pieces of kalbi but into three and three pieces of chicken along with kimchee and Mac salad (are obviously store bought) but the proteins are just the most tender and flavorful bite I've had in quite some time. Chicken and kalbi both is tender not too salty but had the perfect flavor where you don't need a knife, there are some grocery items though mostly are snacks and drinks the food here is legit and place to rave about...if you can find parking. Thank you!

    Bul Go Gi Plate
    Alvin A.

    Received a post card in the mail several months ago and this caught the attention of me and my husband. He picked up dinner one night, and learned that new owner's took over Yobo Mart. Located on the corner of Pensacola & Davenport Streets in the Village Maluhia Apartment of Makiki. My husband ordered Gimbap and a Bul Go Gi Plate which was so delicious! I loved it! A couple Friday's ago, I wanted to try something else. Called in my order and asked the guy what's on the menu today. He said they were serving Kalbi plate, and I think it was also Garlic Chicken. It was ready for pickup in about 20 minutes. This Kalbi was even more satisfying! Mandoo was good too! You can also find small grocery items, liquor, snacks, and other household items. Street parking only.

    Spam musubi

    Im giving 5 stars because of the friendly service and the tasty yet unique spam musubi. Sam - is super helpful and friendly- if they run out of the musubi and you wanted more than 2 they will gladly make them for you. I also tried the bbq chicken which was also delicious but not as addicting as the musubi. Parking is on the street so call ahead if u don't want to wait for them to make your food. They do have lunch specials but i haven't been able to try all of them yet.

Poke bowls still a big draw. I saw the clerk give a gentleman three large raw oysters with his two-choice poke bowl. What a deal! They have bowls with salad instead of rice. A lot of grab-and-go options if you don't want to wait. Staff at self-checkout ready and offer chopsticks or forks. I haven't been here for a while so be aware of changes in parking in the area. Makes it easier to find a space to stop by and pick up a poke bowl but you'll for more than an hour. Lots of senior citizens (I'm one!) so patience and careful navigation required!

I didn't really know what to expect, but I was surprised by how many different kinds of poke they had. I stood there for a while trying to decide because everything looked good! I ended up getting the salmon and Hawaiian ahi tuna poke. Both were good, but looking back, I should've gotten one of the spicy mayo flavors because those looked even better. Next time, that's definitely what I'm ordering. You can get half a pound or a full pound, and you can also split your order between two flavors. We bought the poke here and got rice separately to make our own poke bowls. It ended up being much more affordable than ordering poke bowls from a restaurant, especially while visiting Hawaii. One thing to know before going: grab a number from the ticket machine when you arrive. The poke counter gets busy, and there were quite a few people waiting when we went. They'll call your number when it's your turn. Overall, this was a good and affordable stop for poke with a lot of variety. I'd come back, but next time I'm going straight for the spicy mayo!

The Sakeru Gummy was part of a Japanese ad campaign that had an 11 part TV series of commercials that were dramatic vignettes. It was called "Long Long Man" - watch it on youtube and thank me later...hilarious happy(?) ending. It was pretty good, as a gummy goes.

I ended up stopping at Don Quijote to see what they had in the prepared-food section. I saw the katsu curry and figured it was chicken, so I grabbed it without really paying attention to the label. I got back to my car, started eating, and pretty quickly realized, "Wait, this doesn't taste like chicken." Then it hit me--it was pork katsu. I have to be careful with pork because it can trigger a gout attack for me, so obviously this was not what I was hoping for. But I was hungry, had already bought it, and figured I wasn't going to return a prepared meal, so I ate it anyway. That said, the food itself was actually pretty good. My issue is more with the labeling. If something is simply called "katsu," you may not necessarily know what kind of meat you're getting. I think it would be helpful if the prepared foods were clearly labeled as chicken katsu, pork katsu, etc., because there are people who can't or don't eat certain types of meat. So overall, the katsu curry was pretty good--but buyer beware. Pay attention to exactly what you're buying, because you might not get what you assumed you were getting.

Hot and cold food available here, along with poke bar and food items of regional fairs regularly held here. Getting here may pose a challenge with lane closures due to rail construction.

Perhaps tonight I will be dreaming of having a shopping spree at Marukai where I get to consume what I wish to my hearts delight!

I went to the Money Services counter, where I was told the fee to cash my check would be $8, which I was fine with. The associate tried twice to cash my check, but both attempts were denied. She told me she couldn't do the transaction and went off to lunch. I tried getting someone else to help me but he stated he was an operator not a manager. So her co-worker explained to me that it wasn't an issue with my identification. At first, I thought it might have been because the address on my passport wasn't current, so I provided another form of identification along with a piece of mail showing my name and mailing address. Unfortunately, that didn't make a difference. The associate explained that it may have been because it was my first time cashing a check of that amount at Walmart and suggested that I go directly to my bank instead. While I appreciated the associate's efforts in explaining it to me, the experience was still extremely disappointing. I had planned to use the money to buy groceries, but since I couldn't access my funds, I had to return everything I had picked out and leave empty-handed. It was a frustrating and discouraging end to an already long workday. I understand that policies and verification systems are in place for security, but I wish there had been a clearer explanation or an alternative solution to make it right with me. I was so disappointed, I just deposited the check through my own Chase mobile banking. A bank I haven't used in over a year and a half since I moved to Hawai'i. To make matters worse, the employees started discussing my situation in the corner in Tagalog as if I wasn't right there. I wish people didn't do that. Speak in another language thinking other people don't understand you. I speak Visaya, English, and Tagalog by the way. I was born in the Philippines and understand the language... It was just a very discouraging encounter. I walked out of Walmart trying not to sob because after two weeks of waiting for a paycheck, and not being able to go to the bank with my work hours, it's been incredibly difficult to have money in my pocket. I was really counting on Walmart to take care of me today. So, reluctantly, I took a picture of my check instead and deposited it through my mobile phone and now I have to wait days for it to go through. What a rough day.

    One of my fondest childhood memories is going to Tamashiro Market with my dad…read more When we lived in Kalihi, this was our usual spot. And even after we moved, we would still drive out just to come here for the seafood. That's how special it was to us. The reason why he chose Tamashiro over other grocery stores was simple--it was quality and because of my Nanay (grandma). His mom purchased from here and made so many delicious dishes. He knew what to look for, and he trusted this place. For him, it wasn't just about buying food... it was about getting the best for his family. My dad isn't the type to say "I love you." He shows it. One of the biggest ways he showed love was through his cooking. Even after a long day on his feet cooking for others, he would come home and cook for us. That was his way of taking care of us. I loved coming here with him. It was a five-senses overload--the smell of fresh seafood, the sound of people talking story, the colors of fish on display. Back then when you were allowed to sample a grape or poke to make sure it was good before buying. But more than that, it was time with him. I still remember the excitement I felt when I saw the pink building with the huge crab. I thought back then was to look at everything but now I understand that it meant something more..... something special--time with my dad. It's with a sad heart that Tamishiro Market is now closed. Thank you, Tamashiro, for providing quality food and memories for so many years. You were more than a market--you were part of my childhood
