“They have a wide variety of liquors here, but the highlight is the poke. It’s very fresh and a variety of flavors are offered at a reasonable price. The ninja ahi was my favorite, garlic ahi & spicy ahi were also very good. Everyone working there was also very pleasant, can’t wait to come back!”
“Amazing customer service!
So friendly, so much Aloha!
Their expert knowledge gently guided us to the best sake we have ever tasted.
We had the kinka Tedorigawa (cold sake is the best sake) and can’t wait to finish the second half tonight with some of japans best beer, Hittachino ale!
If you’ve never been to “THE SAKE SHOP” you’re missing out!”
“I stopped by to get my early lunch, Ahi Poke Bowl, for $8.37 with tax included, which is a very cheap price. It was delicious also and so convenient. The diet pepsi was only $0.60, which was also so cheap. Very cheap and convenient so it is a great spot for cheap lunch while passing by.”
“I asked one of the workers about fishing tips as I was ready to pay for my stuff and after getting more knowledgeable experience, i decided the tackle I choose to get didn’t suit fit for the type of fishing I wanted to do, so I ended up re-choosing some things and they helped verify a better fit of tackle. Mahalo Nankos!”
“One of the few places where you can get authentic Japanese groceries. Prices are a bit high, but not too bad. They have a good selection of fresh fish and produce. The meat section is a bit limited. Great selection of imported Japanese stuff. Also a great selection of Japanese hardware, office supplies, clothes, etc.”
“If you need something, they probably have it. This is a quaint more than a liquor store kind of store, where they sell goodies and supplies and where you are always greeted with a smile. The beer is cold and the food is hot.”
“4.5 Star NOT 4. I can appreciate how hard it is to find good alcohol. Probably the best selection of bourbon/whiskey on Oahu, if there is a better LMK. I was able to find allocated and non allocated everywhere in the store. Allocated was high secondary but if you “needed” the bottle, they had it. Ended up walking out with OGD114 for MSRP because I couldn’t find it anywhere else. Definitely gonna come back and see if I can get some seasonal bottles. Maybe I’ll try to build a rep w them to get Btrace offerings for closer to MSRP. $399 for stagg Jr knocked a half star. Good hunt store”
“With a vast selection, these friendly guys know their products and will help guide you to the perfect choice, and you will want to return for another when the bottle's empty. Cool location in the basement.”
“There are wine/liquor shops that are quaint/cute; there are ones that have a wide selection; and there are ones that are good values. Fujioka's is the only place I know on the islands that are all three in one. Their specialty liquor selection looks smaller than other places (even very good shops like Tamura's and Foodland Farms) but the variety is so amazing and has much that is unique (esp. in European liquors like grappa and vermouth) in Oahu.”

“I am a white wine drinker and they did not have the selection I hoped for. But, they have everything else. And the clerk was helpful. Not his fault. It is hard to find a white wine on the island we like. Most are too sweet for me.”
“Hands down the highest quality, most friendly wine & cigar bar in Honolulu. Intimate feel where friends become like family. Such a personal touch with wine recommendations, cigars, and cocktails. Rick & Elaine could not be kinder and more welcoming hosts. The new food connection with Bocconcino is genius. The only danger in writing this review is that even more folks are going to find out about this gem, but it's simply that special of a place. Can't wait to come back.”
“Large variety of wine and spirits. They even had Amarula and about a half dozen bottles! (It is hard to find, and if you do, usually an old dusty bottle about to go bad). Thank you, Tamura's! Nice poke bar on the side. Other 'go-withs' like snacks, chocolate, cigars available. Reasonable prices.
Be aware the building is on the corner and the entrance is 1-way, right turn in only from Waialae Ave. The exit is 1-way exit onto 10th Ave. Free parking in their lot.”

“Picked up a few items for breakfast including: Ube roll; pineapple fritter; croissant; and dragon pitaya bowl. It was delightful to find real pineapple chunks inside the pineapple fritter, so tasty and not too sweet. Baked in store, worth a try! There is a special on acai bowls, but the dragon pitaya bowl was so satisfying. Some of the sorbetto melted on the walk back (in the photo), probably better to eat it on the spot. There are a few tables indoors to dine in. Friendly and efficient service.”
“It was quick, easy, and convenient. They have an entrance and checkout at the section. The prices are great! I bought two cases of Simply Spiked, they were on discount!”
“Tamara's is a local small supermarket that does cater to the areas population of customers. You will find more culturally diverse ingredient options here rather than the other big brand supermarkets in the area. Their Poke, seafood and in house plate lunch plates are terrific. The store itself is rather old and run down. The staff is friendly and helpful. No fresh bakery type of foods available but there are other stores/bakeries in the area if that is the products you are shopping for. Adequate parking available and fairly easy access to the town itself and main thoroughfares.”
“Liquor, tobacco, vapes and all it's accessories, including snacks and basic camping stuff like butane for your portable stove duct tape etc. If you enjoy playing fish games n reels they'll hook you up.”
“Nice option, however seem like they do t understand supply and demand or maybe it's just hard to get certain items. Buffalo Trace is highly desired but it's seem they only get one case every few months.”
“Great store with friendly customer service. Shaved ice and Greek gyros outside and all sorts of products, snacks, and every beverage you can think of. Great interior.”
“Nice place, you can find all kinds of drinks and snacks here. The prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere is very friendly. Inside, there is an ATM and even a Bitcoin ATM if you need it.”
“The staff is incredibly friendly, and the service is exceptional. They cater to all your personal needs, whether you're looking for fresh groceries or a chilled six-pack of your favorite IPA. It truly feels like a family atmosphere, where everyone is welcomed with warmth and kindness. I've even witnessed the owners brighten my kids' day by generously offering them free candy as a reward for their good behavior. It’s the little gestures like this that make the experience feel so special and personal.”
“Went for 1 item, wasn't sure if they would carry the product. The angels were with me because despite crazy drivers, ridiculous rain and absurd winds, I was able to purchase this item without a problem. Oh, and for the first time I paid contactless ..... super weird but oddly satisfying.”
“Spam musubi comes in two styles: wet, where the spam is caramelized in a sweet shoyu glaze, and dry, simply pan-fried for a salty crunch. Wet brings a burst of sweet and savory, while dry offers a straightforward spam flavor.The spam musubi here at Middle Street Market is a dry version giving it a straightforward spam experience where the spam is the star giving it a clean, classic spam flavor. The same technique is applied to their red hotdog musubi.That being said the spam musubi here lives up to my expectations and more. the rice was fluffy and well cooked while the nori held everything nicely together. The portion is the normal size of any other spam musubi. Overall I would definitely recommend Middle Street Market because I know I will be back.”
“Nii Superette is a hidden gem on Oahu! When I decided to be sober and researched alcohol-alternative beverages, I stumbled upon this one-in-a-million store! Steven is nothing short of an alcohol-free "sommelier" and I look forward to his wisdom and guidance with each visit!”
“Best plain musubis on the entire island. For those that don't kno, musubis are most commonly made with a slice of spam on top of rice, and wrapped with a strip of nori (seaweed.) They don't make them to order, but they off the shelves and are almost always hot. Many stores sell theirs with some kind of sauce with too much or too little rice. Kaneohe gets the saltiness of the spam to rice ration right, every time.
Growing up and living in Kaneohe, I've been a patron of this store for a long time. The owners are Korean and always smile, except for the uncles. But, once you get to kno them, you find out that they have an incredible sense of humor.
They offer just about everything you could want from a convenience ?!”

“They are nice people, and they sell the "MNKE BARS" disposable nicotine vapes, the best kind there is, that last 3x the amount of any other disposable vape.”
“Literally a mini mart...Located on the corner of Ward and Halekuwila across Longs Go-rae is a very tiny mini mart is basically a place to be for snacks and to quench your thirst and is the place for $8 bento which is a nice combination mix plate filled with variety of meats on rice as well as spam musubi.Get there early for the best variety as at times when I swing by after work for there wasn't that many choices as all musubis were sold out but did manage to grab one of their spicy pork bento. Their spam musubi is cooked in some. shoyu sugar sauce which is nice and is topped on a generous amount of rice.Parking is available right in front or along the side of the building as well, the owners are just quietly manning the shop sitting there until you're ready, but are nice and friendly as I asked what each items in the variety of bentos, a great convenience for value and yummy munchies.Thank you!”

“They make a really good spam musubi and also sell some good bentos made fresh daily. Not bad for a liquor store. It's a good place to grab a snack if you're hungry and don't wait. They also make sandwiches which I haven't tried yet. Owner is very nice and helpful.”

“Who would have thought a liquor store would have decent Vietnamese food at reasonable prices? I was here for 30 minutes and only saw people getting food. Maybe they should change the name of their shop. This place is in the Pacific Grand condo. Entry is through the lobby or through a back door. Menu on the lobby door is out of date. Prices are $2-$3 higher now. Don't let that deter you. The prices are reasonable and the food is tasty. They will even let you order stuff not on the menu. I ordered the spicy lemongrass chicken but on rice noodle (bun) instead of rice. It came with a small basic salad. For $13 I thought it was a fair price. Not huge, but filling enough. They have 4 tables in the store for dine in which is convenient. And hey, if you need a liter of Vodka, or a 40 to go, they have that also. Brown bags optional.”
“There are very good poke, the parking lot is large, very convenient, and the prices in nearby stores are very reasonable. I can't think of a reason not to go here.”
“Nice shop that’s packed. Has a good selection of some of the harder to find whiskeys that aren’t allocated as well as plenty of wines. Gentleman who runs the shop is super personable and tries to give back as much as he can to regulars. Worth a quick pop in to see what’s in.”
