Well-stocked with an amazing variety of local favorites and grocery staples, friendly helpful staff and top tier bakery section...KTA Puainako has always been my families go-to store bakery for birthdays or just sweet treats to bring home. Happy to say since moving back to the Big Island I now carry that tradition. Must trys: KTA chantilly cake (second only to standard bakery), date nut bars which are def underrated or the scrumptious macadamia nut danish! For a quick and affordable grab n go lunch you could also opt for their prepared poke bowls or fresh bentos. Mahalo KTA Puainako :)

We like KTA for their unique Asian foods and snacks, their pastries, and fresh local fruits and vegetables. Their seasoned meats are also really good. Their prices on most items however are usually higher than other supermarket in town. Because of that we go elsewhere to do regular shopping.

Seafood we bought here is so fresh and tasty, the poke for scallops, mussels, hokkigai and pipikaula is delicious. We also like boiled peanuts, edamame and fried rice.

Always a must stop when I visit home. Love their mountain apple branded products and their mochi by Aunty Gladys Harada. Love their selection of everything!

It's a grocery store that has what you need. It's a must-stop if you need food for home or food on the go.

Great store. Selection of Hawaiian grown produce is limited but good. Has organic food from the mainland that is less expensive.

KTA is the place to go for best variety of groceries plus the fresh food is awesome. They are also an organization that gives back a ton to the community so support local and stop going to Safeway!

The best place in town to get fresh produce and fresh baked goods! The lines can be long in checkout but they move quickly!

Good selection, but high prices. This place gets very busy, so be prepared for that.

Wow, just wow. I can't believe how silly they are at this place. I hope they fix their policies because that's crazy. My partner put on a pair of rain boots on My 1 year old daughter. They didn't fit so he put them back. My daughter tore the tag accidentally when she took them off. At checkout, I was written up as stealing and had to buy rain boots that don't fit because of a torn tag. I hope that one torn tag was worth losing years of my weekly grocery business because I'm never shopping there again. I shop local for the aloha but I guess kta lost that spirit and I didn't notice. My bad.

The workers are really lacking in Aloha. Customer service is not what you would expect for living in hawaii. Personal feelings should be left at home. We are all not rude. Aloha starts with you.

Amazing selection of everything you can name. Meat quality is great. I've had the best green onion ever. The soba selection is more than I can find in Los Angeles. Some of the snacks are not the best, but the selection is crazy big. I can easily spend 2 hrs shopping here.
