Times Supermarket in Kaimuki is a very busy, full-service location and a go-to grocery store for the area. It covers mostly everything needed for regular shopping, offering a broad range of staples, consistently fresh produce, quality meats, and seafood. It is noted for its excellent poke counter and popular hot food counter, which serves plate lunches with great options, huge portions for cheap, and a wide variety of sides. The staff, including those behind the deli and poke counters, are consistently described as super friendly, pleasant, patient, and embodying the aloha spirit, making the experience pleasant. The location also provides additional conveniences like eating options, banking, and a Longs Drug/CVS. The primary drawback is the parking situation; the lot can be packed, especially on weekdays from 2-4 PM when parents wait for nearby school children, and on-street parking is limited. Customers advise being patient. Despite the busy atmosphere, the store maintains a good selection and service, making it a longstanding favorite for many.
I go here often at noon and before closing very helpful Anne Curtis they care about their customers.
