932 Kapahulu Avenue, Honolulu HI 96816
“Been meaning to check Kusina Asian Market forever and today was finally the day! I’ve heard so many good things about this store from the Kapahulu community and wow — it all lived up to the hype. Heard they’re one of the first merchants that trusted Save a Bite and now I see why. Quality Southeast Asian + local Filipino groceries, zero waste mission, and true aloha spirit the moment you walk in. Staff was super kind, store was clean, and I left with way more than I planned 😂 Kapahulu is lucky to have a place like this. Supporting local + reducing food waste? That’s a win-win. This definitely won’t be my last visit. Maraming salamat, Kusina! 🌺💛”

“Came in around 6:30pm on a Thursday, not too busy. There's obviously a ton of ABC stores but this one is a bit unique. It's mich larger and also has a substantial food section that sells deli food, rolls, icecream, musubi among other things There's an amusingly large section of plush toys, like hello kitty and friends or doraemon, specifically their tan versions more themed towards hawaii. There's also a section for musubi plushes and other cute animals”

“Hey a gas station review! Well actually yes, this is an excellent gas station. It has lots of room, plenty of stalls which are seldom out of service, and the store is actually a medium sized supermarket. They even have a coffee food truck that is one of the best coffees in town!”
1678 Lusitana Street, Honolulu HI 96813
“This little neighborhood store is a gem. The family that work the register is always pleasant and their prices beat any 7-11, I go there quite often, always greeted with a smile and fast service. In and out. The parking in front is often full as they share parking with the laundromat but the grassy area across the street is convenient.”
6890 Nimitz Rd Bldg 6890, Honolulu HI 96819
“I like getting gas there. Now that it just reopened a few days ago. Not so crowed as the main gas lanes.Right now the Mart is in renovations and implementing new shelving. Half of the store is blocked out. Great location within the residential area to pickup some snacks and drinks. Must have a military ID to purchase.”
2005 Kalia Road, #TT-3-01, Honolulu HI 96815
“During our 10 night stay we were in this location 1-2 times a day. Prices are fair for the convenience and location if you're stay at any of the Hilton Towers. The staff is constantly restocking so you be hard pressed to find an item that's sold out. Make sure to keep those receipts, the points add up.”

“I remember making my way up to this location for my first time about a year ago to pay my bill. Their office is located on the 17th floor. The waiting room is such a nice and cozy little area, it's decorated with a few old fashioned style gas pumps. I got helped pretty quickly, i forgot her name but she was nice, professional and really helpful in assisting me with all my questions. Tip: If you work or live in the downtown area, save a stamp and drop off your payments here. You'll like how they decorated their waiting area”

2499 Kapiolani Boulevard Apt 101, Honolulu HI 96826
“This place has recently been under new ownership in the past couple months! Their food offering has been completely revamped. I tried their butter Mochi and chocolate Mochi and I was over the moon!!! It was so yummy, a must try for sure. The new owner, Rj creates really yummy specials. I've tried both the yellow and red curry and both are really good. I always grab 6 or so musubis, a couple breakfast bentos and some of their yummy caramel rice krispies to take to the beach for my family. All in all, I love the rotating food selection here. I'm always impressed when I try something new at Iolani.”

“As a black fat female in this world we live in now. I love the guy at the register. I have never seen anyone else work it but him and he has ALWAYS been so nice to me. I always leave a tip and he always tries to give it back to me. Good prices as well. He has never assumed I was in his store to steal and I like that about this place.”

2432 Koa Avenue, Honolulu HI 96815
“Really well stocked. Clean. Very nice manager, genuine guy and is helpful. Saw him deal with a crazyy entitled customer pretty professionally and calmly too. I think his name is Dane…? I asked an employee and I heard “Sir Dane”, could be wrong. Anyway I think this is the best ABC store. Has a bit more of a chill vibe going and has what you need.”
526 North School Street Ste 103, Honolulu HI 96817
“I accidentally parked in the manager’s spot, but he was kind enough to let me stay there. He and the cashier attendant also patiently explained the various Micronesian food foods that they had available. They also talked to me about the traditional Micronesian skirts (“urohs”) and the full-body tubular outfits (I believe these are called “mumus”). They were very kind to me and happy to share their culture with me. I hope to return and experience more of their food!”
1403 North School Street, Honolulu HI 96817
“This gas station is in the heart of Kalihi near a lot of other restaurants and stores. You hardly come across gas stations that have working air stations and this one always has theirs working. It cost $0.75 to get air started. And their pump stations come with contactless payment options.”
846 Richards St, Honolulu HI 96813
“If you work in downtown, this is a quick and convenient place to pick upsome Korean bentos or poke bowls. Just a tiny little market that serves take out. The poke bowls are pretty reasonably priced for how much you get, compared to other places on downtown. And the taste and spice of the spicy ahi is just right. They have a large selection of korean-type food choices available in take-out bentos. I've only had the mandoo so far (to eat with my poke), but I'm looking forward to trying the other items, like the kimbap! I have to try all the kimbap. Haha.”
749 Amana Street, Honolulu HI 96814
“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.”
3368 Campbell Ave, Honolulu HI 96815
“Stopped by Campbell Stop & Shop and found the sticker machine really fun ?✨ There were lots of colorful and unique sticker designs, and it gave off a cool local Hawaii vibe ?? I got a shiny sticker from the machine, and it felt a little nostalgic in the best way. A small but memorable stop while walking around Waikiki ??”
