“When we got there around lunchtime, the line in the back for fresh poke looked long. We weren't hungry yet, but that definitely would have been our go-to (also the salt and vinegar chicken wings in the deli section). We saw some cute bags and they had a great selection of leis. The cashier was friendly.”
“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.”

“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 had such a wonderful experience at Kumu Farms. The produce is top quality, especially the papayas and herbs. You can really taste the freshness. Friendly people, beautiful setting—definitely worth a visit!”
“Good place to get your basic groceries and Specialty Asian items. Great selection of wine spirits and cigars. But they are grossly on demand and understaffed so there may be a wait if you need to access the area that this place liquor and tobacco. That's my only deal with this place. If you want some assistance with purchasing liquor and or cigars you will probably need to wait anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes before someone frees up to help you.”
“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.”
“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!”
“I am not a huge fan of Safeway stores, but they are usually in convenient locations and offer a lot of selection, maybe too much selection. I do frequent the sushi options, the bakery, and sometimes vegetables if they are local. You really have to shop around for bargains, as I find prices here are higher than other outlets. But when they have premium ice cream on sale, stock up!”
“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!”
“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.”
