“Totally recommend this lovely little store! Over spring break, our family stopped daily for drinks and snacks with our teens (sometimes more than twice!). We were staying in a house near Mama’s Beach, and it was convenient to have amazing food choices in the neighborhood! The employees were super friendly and gave us a delish free coffee one morning! We usually go to Costco when we arrive on Maui but this time, instead of buying too much food to finish in a week, we stopped in Kū,au and ordered a variety of their delicious sandwiches, salads, and sweet treats for breakfast and lunches instead, and then went out for dinner!! The freshly delivered bakery breads and other unique treats were amazing, not to mention the beer wine and spirits available too! We did go to Costco for steaks to grill one night, but honestly we were all happy with the convenience and options at Kū,au store and the nice people who worked there too! We will be returning next year for sure!”
“Best prices for clean and local food, amazing hot bar, soups, grab and go juices,sandwiches and wraps. A real community resource. Shop local! Oh and you can get gluten free tiramisu.”
“Poke is fresh, prices for drinks are fair compared to other stores, musubi are where it's at! Staff are friendly. Come in, buy, leave as parking is limited.”
“I LOVE LOVE LOVE the PukSup!!!! What a find and it has some of the best hot food around and there's lots to choose from! Produce, Maui meats, groceries, booze and local treats! Omg my new favorite upcountry find!!! MAHALO”
“Love this little market in Wailuku. ?? They carry raw meats, ready made individual items like side dishes and desserts, bentos, and snacks. And an aisle of dry grocery/pantry items. Prices are very reasonable. You can make a meal for around $11. The $6.99 mini bentos are awesome for light meals or small eaters. That plus a side dish or two would be enough for a full meal. Their poke/poki is delicious. No long lines, unlike some other stores. Some of their food items qualify for SNAP. My guess is their dry grocery caters to visitors in all the nearby hostels. They’re better stocked than a convenience store and they’re not common goods for Japanese grocery. Give this place a try.”
“Went there Saturday and Sunday @930a. Love the Local feeling of this place & the food is great. If you know Bento boxes back in my day,this is the place to get it.”
“Cashier was super helpful and friendly. I can't remember her name, but she was awesome. Didn't know exactly where everything was because it has been a long time since I went, so just asked her and she let me know with a friendly, positive and professional manner.”
“It is a very good local grocery store with OK reasonable prices,poke and lunch plates are fine too,a good sized ones that i get for my kids meal ,tastes good and they like it,that means all for me,that my family is good with their meals being purchased in Wailuku food land.”
“Chili rice when I don't have energy to cook is a life saver... Also their coffee is really good and strong not like most places with weak coffee that doesn't taste like coffee. They know what's up ?”
“We have a little gem here in our backyard! They had tons of cool unique groceries and the prices are reasonable! Super cute store and always nice to be able to stock up and get one-of-a-kind items. Root Beer made on Maui! I'll definitely be back.”
“The tour is so much fun and informative. The tour guide was awesome. The staff is super friendly. If you come to Maui this tour should be on your list of things to do.”
“The store is exceptionay maintained. The reasonably priced hot and cold food bar selections will tempt you to get takeout, whole the variety of fresh fish will make you wanna go back and cook. The sushi and pome options are on point! Mahalo to the team.”
“I didn't know this Tamuras has a full supermarket as well as the usual extensive liquor selections. The poke is why I came in but I'll be back for the staples as well.”
“Definitely worth a visit. Lots of local and island products like coffee, candy, lotions, t shirts, produce, etc. Appeared to be quality stuff and store well decorated.”
“I’ve had a great experience with this pharmacy! Prescriptions are filled quickly, and their vaccine program is amazing. The staff is efficient, organized, and makes the whole process incredibly easy. I was in and out for my vaccine with very little wait, which I really appreciate. Overall, they provide fast, convenient, and excellent service!”
“Good selection of frozen and packaged items. Also a good selection of fresh produce. The lady helping us was the absolute sweetest human being ever. Good place to check out if you're looking for Filipino groceries and/or asian groceries in general.”
“I'm visiting from California and I'm used to getting great salsa. I spotted Tiffany's Salsa at Safeway and decided to give it a try. I wasn't expecting much since the Islands have traditionally had mediocre Mexican food. Wow, was I wrong. This stuff is great. I'm going to stop on my way to the airport to grab some to take home. Tiffany, if you're reading these, you should put take home packs at the airport along side the pineapples and Maui onions.”
“If you live in upcountry this is one of the few grocery stores. They are pricey for sure but have great prepared food options, poke bar, musubi and bento, pizzas, fried chicken. The cashiers are full of aloha and you feel welcome. They get plenty shopping bag designs too so if you like to collect em all, this is a good spot. Parking is easily available.”
“Great neighborhood convenience store! Always clean, well stocked, and the staff is friendly and quick. Easy in and out. They have everything I need without having to run to a big grocery store.”
“Great makau side neighborhood general variety store. Has great food cooked in house daily. They carry everything from charcoal & firewood to pet food,fresh local produce, spirits,gas ,air,water & tobacco products.”
“Stopped by for cold drinks after going to the Maui swap meet. Peach juice! It was a perfect, convenient stop-off. Auntie working here is super kind and complemented us on our mini-cooler from daiso. Healthy food! Kimchi's and banchan here are so authentic and fresh made delicious! So glad we found this amazing little gem of a market, imports and freshly prepared Korean staples! Good ambience. Fresh veggies!! Would love to go back and try more!”
“This unassuming Asian market is located on Lower Main St. in Wailuku and carries mainly Filipino offerings, but other Asian and local products as well. There's some interesting finds here if you take the time to look around and they have more variety than some of the other little Asian markets around town. My favorites are of course, the snacks. From chips to chocolates - many of their products remind me of my childhood vacations in the Philippines. They also have a hot food line that feature your typical Filipino dishes like pork n peas, dinakdakan, adobo, chicharon, empanada, lumpia, and more. You can get them in plate lunch style form or containers to serve as entrees.What I really come here for though is the Mais Con Yelo -- the only place I know on island that offers this delectable cool treat. Mais Con Yelo is a layered, Filipino dessert that consists of sweet corn, shaved ice, evaporated milk, leche flan, and a scoop of CORN & CHEESE ice cream. I love corn and cheese ice cream and the whole combo of ice and evaporated milk are SO good! It's similar to a halo halo, but with corn. For whatever reason, the last time I got it, the aunty made it so so good that I can't stop thinking about it and will probably go get more tomorrow. Hahah. Speaking of ice cream, they also have the Magnolia boba ice creams here in various flavors and I really, really like that ice cream. I've only seen it around a few stores here so if you like that, you can find it here too.Check them out sometime!”
“My favorite lechon place. This store has all the unique things I want to find in Safeway but cannot. It’s a little store but has a cafeteria style food area with so many good Filipino dishes.”
“I really like to go there at the evening hours when they prompt the $6 deal that they bring sometimes for the plate lunch on the front of the store,it tastes great and it is a very affordable price for that size,A good size,chicken katzu and rice,sometimes fish, it is very nice variety. Also their cakes and cookies are yammy too.”
“Great place to buy some local food and whole fish in Maui if you know how to prepare!! Some fish are sashimi glade!! (All the pictures are prepared ourselves) Our favourite is their Aji and blue crab!! It was so delicious 🤤 All the staff were so friendly and very nice 😊 people at the shop!! We will be there few more times during our trip for sure!! We got some Maui local lemon 🍋 ginger and green onions from times supper market & some shop on the way. It was amazing too!!”
“Highly recommend it's close to the airport and if you have safeway points , it's definitely helpful on the gas price. Longer lines during the day , shorter in the evening.”
“I wasn’t sure where to leave a review for the Drive Up & Go since I couldn’t find a place on the app, but so far I’ve placed 4 different pick ups and each time I’ve had a great experience. Though some items ended up not being available in-store though it said it was on the app, I appreciated the service via the chat when confirming/rejecting substitutions. Great service from the workers so far! I wish I remembered their names better.”
Walmart wants your groceries at the door before the ice cream softens. On May 29, the retailer said its 30-minute-or-less delivery had reached 33 U.S. markets, adding a wave of new cities across the Northeast. Shoppers in those areas can order from more than 100,000 items, everything from fresh produce and baby formula to pet food, electronics, cold medicine, and prescriptions. Behind the scenes, the service leans on Walmart's store network and an algorithm that factors in order size, available drivers, and distance from the store.
