Convenience Stores in Waialua, HI

“Best poke on the island! This is one of those if you know, you know places. The food here is really good! In addition to the best poke, they have delicious Filipino food.When it comes to poke, my favorite is the Kaarie. It is a masterful blend of ahi, cucumbers, imitation crab meat, and avocado, with the typical spicy sauce. When ordering a poke bowl, I usually get the two choice option. For my second poke, I either get the Sweet Areya Oyster Poke (Oyster Sauce) or the Shoyu. The Oyster Sauce one is similar to the shoyu, but a little bit saltier.When it comes to the cooked food, my favorites are the chicken adobo and two of the noodles (chow fun and pancit). The adobo is very tasty, however, it does have bones (my kryptonite). The chow fun is tasty and not as oily as traditional Chinese style chow fun and the pancit is just as you would expect it--traditional and delicious! Oh, and I cannot forget to mention the cascaron. So delicious! If you are not familiar, cascaron is a Filipino donut made of deep-fried ground glutinous rice, grated coconut, and sugar (thanks google for the formal definition). They are round and about the size of golf balls. They come with 4 on a stick, so you can share with a companion if you are feeling generous. Great dessert after a poke bowl! The aunties that work here are extremely nice. The store is tucked away in the small strip mall behind the Waialua Public Library. If you are out on the North Shore, this place is certainly worth a visit if you want to treat yourself to some seriously tasty poke and Filipino food.”

“I come here often for the Korean foods and bon chan. Kind of pricey but worth it. I constantly rotate between the fried chicken, fried calamari, & the Korean pancake (veggie tempura). But my last visit I chose the chicken w different bon chan. I got the Namasu (vinegary and sweet and I think there is a slight spicy to it) it tastes like pickled seaweed w bits of onion and carrots, the dried Dai Kong (radish) Kim Chee style and the taegu (codfish -I think- w a sweet spice).”

“I’m a regular here and know all the ladies that work there. They automatically know what I need. The gas pumps are close together so you gotta work your around that but no biggie. Don’t use pump 2 it takes forever lol but I prefer it over the 7-11 close to my house because I enjoy seeing my regular faces everyday”

“Highly convenient, hours are just right for a snack or refreshing beverage after a long day. I usually get off at 1900 so I need that relief at the end of the day.”
