Grocery Stores in Aiea, HI

“Underrated hot food bar, and I enjoy the deli. Some of their vegan desserts aren’t very good (minus the s’more cookies). I think they do a great job with their deli sandwiches. Updated from previous review on 2021-05-30”

“This is strictly for the sushi/okazuya section only! I rarely go to this Times location but, we needed to kill time while waiting for our food upstairs at Aiea Bowl. We were pleasantly surprised that they expanded and ate more like the Times in Mililani! There's a bakery upon entering which smelled sooo good! I'll have to try that place out next! To the far right once you enter is where the sushi and bentos are located! There were 2 workers making fresh sushi. The one thing that stuck out to us was the "From Japan" stickers! My hubby loved the fresh hamachi sushi! It's 5 pieces for $9.99! Much more reasonable than sushi places. I love Inari sushi and I especially love Tuna Inari sushi! I'm so happy I can now get my fix here! There was a 5 piece set and a 10 piece one! They also had a mixed inari set we tried. The combo of the aburage (tofu skin) adds so much extra flavor! They also had full spicy ahi inari and ahi poke inari if you love the fish & inari combo! I also saw hot entrees which were salmon bento, tonkatsu bento and katsu curry bentos. So there's definitely something for everyone if raw fish isn't your thing! Overall, we have come back 2 Saturdays in a row so we recommend checking it out!”

“Palama Supermarket is one of my go-to spots in Hawaii when I'm looking for authentic Korean ingredients and dishes. One of my favorites has to be their bulgogi sushi—it’s a perfect fusion of tender, marinated beef and the simplicity of sushi. When I'm just grabbing a quick bite, Palama Supermarket always gives me a real taste of Korea.”

“Shopping in Aiea, Oahu, Hawaii... Most Hawaii residents know that the Times Supermarket chain has a fantastic produce department and carries local goods like popular snacks, candy/yarn/kukui nut lei, and ethnic groceries. This Times - located on the lower level of Aiea Shopping Center (below McDonald's and Aiea Bowl) - also has an area in the back with a Deli, sushi, and mochi station. It also has pharmacy and self-service check-out capabilities. I actually was trying to pay my auntie's electricity bill. (I was thinking that I could save a stamp...) However, personal checks are not accepted. I offered cash, but the bill needed to be linked to a phone number. I gave Customer Service auntie's home phone and cell phone, but neither number showed up. I'll have auntie call and have her bill adjusted... LOL! I ended up mailing her check to Hawaiian Electric. Haha!”

“One of the oldest and original Safeway stores. Usually well stocked. Staffed by great, kind and helpful employees. Shop the specials and it won't sting so bad.”

“Anna from the bakery does it again! Beautiful birthday cake and it is delicious too! Chocolate cake with fresh strawberry filling! The cake was super moist! Reasonably priced. Looks good and tastes great! I'll be back for more cakes. Make sure you see Anna!”
