“Janelle at the Poke section and Phee at checkout are so nice it made me come back again the next day for another bowl. I think they should be recognized for their excellent customer service :) mahalo!”
“KTA Superstore –
We made several stops at KTA Superstore during our trip to the Big Island, mainly for groceries and fresh local ingredients. Being a home chef, I come prepared with a lot of spices and a well prepared menu for our 7 days. It’s a well-stocked store with a good selection of produce, meats, and Hawaiian specialties.
The fresh produce section had some great finds, but prices were steep— $18 for 18 eggs due to the ongoing bird flu issues. Luckily, we found a slightly better deal on eggs at $8 per dozen and grabbed two. Worth noting for memories of 2025!
One of the highlights was the fresh ahi poke selection. We picked up high-quality ahi that we used to make delicious poke bowls back at our rental. Much better than what we had at Big Kahuna Grill and way cheaper.
Pros:
✔️ Well-stocked with essentials and local specialties
✔️ Convenient locations for travelers staying in Kona
✔️ High-quality poke and fresh seafood
Bottom Line: KTA Superstore is a great stop for fresh local ingredients and meal prep supplies, but expect to pay a premium. If you’re staying in a rental and planning to cook, it’s still more cost-effective than eating out every night, but shopping smart is key!
Here’s a few pictures of meals we made:
Teriyaki Chicken, made Chinese Chicken Salad with Leftover, Poki Bowls, Ono Fish Tacos, Asian Sticky Ribs, Hawaiian Macaroni Salad, the best breakfasts and so much more! I think I want to write a cookbook now.”
“Highly recommend KTA Keauhou. Excellent selection of groceries, meats, seafood, bakery, vegetables, fruit, Hawaiian souvenirs. Friendly staff and great location right off Ali'i Drive in shopping mall.”
“The staff there especially Trish is very helpful, respectful and a delight to meet on the big island.The store is in a great location.Had exactly what we were needing for our vacation..Thank you.. Andy and Jenn”
“The Kona WalMart & their famous wall of SPAM .. see photo !!Since World War ll, spam has remained an island staple. It's available everywhere. Even the McDonald's inside this Walmart, SPAM & rice is a featured meal.On the brighter side, the WalMart's in Hawaii have a huge assortment of quality Hula material for those talented enough to sew & craft. They also carry an entire department of Hawaiian based tourist items at prices far below the gift-shops. The 4 star rating is due to WalMart discontinuing their complimentary shuttle bus from the cruise ship dock to the store. This is a serious setback for crew members who need to stock up on personal items & can't afford taxi cab service.This store sits high in the hills above town & has the best unobstructed view of the Kona Coast & Pacific Ocean in all of this beautiful area's landscape.”
“What an amazing bathing suit collection! I was so impressed — their clothing selection is actually better than the food options. The styles are perfect for Hawaii living, not the same ones you see on the mainland. I could’ve spent hours browsing and even went back twice because I didn’t get through it all the first time. Super happy with what I found! Pro tip: go during the day — I went once around 5 p.m. and it was packed.”
“Oldest store on Big Island. 110 years old this year. Thank you Madeline Fujihara for starting such a Legacy store that South Kona can call their own with dried fish, musubi and dried banana...”
“Visited Doris Place this past June during our family trip to the Big Island. We visited Holualoa during our trip to pay respects at a local cemetery there. Afterwards we stopped by a pleasant mom and pop small store called Doris. According to my wife's aunt, the store is named after Doris (who we also visited) who has run the store through many generations (she has recently retired). If you are in the area I recommend visiting Doris Place in a small little town called Holualoa. You will get good local community store vibes there.”
“Very tiny but best place in town for cheap produce (you won't find everything, but essentials and some local produce).
And delicious Filipino / Asian snacks”
“Came to get groceries, 3rd time in a row over 2 months. Mid afternoon, sign says open, hours say open, lights are on but door is locked and no one answering the phone waited each time over an hour. Simply wanted some spicy peanuts and a lufa.”
Open 24 hours

“Only place open in the late night/ early AM, and I needed some med and I am grateful it was open. Seems like the biggest Safeway I've visited as a tourist. Thanks!”
“Large supermarket with wide range and best fresh fruit, veggies and salad section for out of main towns in Big Island. Fresh meat section good too and they had local fresh marlin and tuna plus Alaskan salmon steaks. Usual expensive Hawaii pricing but not more than others as far as I could tell.”
“Not as cozy as Hilo side stores, but staff issues great.
The cashier called to LMK we both had forgotten my $50 cash back. I went back and picked it up.”

“Great place to shop. They should have what you need meats, rice, pasta, canned good, or even baked good fresh out their bakery. And breakfast/lunch options in the bento section.
I love that they hire teenagers and special needs but please teach them the basics of bagging.
Lost a star due to me constantly having to re bag my groceries”
