Grocery 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.”

“Moi, the owner, was delightful to converse with and the selection of food items is absolutely amazing! She packs a lot into that store and I found it be nirvana for all my food needs while staying in Waialua. Great natural food brands, excellent selection of fresh produce including locally grown greens & sprouts. Even local coffee! I am a forever customer as I believe strongly in supporting local businesses!”

“This is an amazing place to catch some break and eat locally produced fruit. They have great coconut water and local vegetables available. Please check the time for opening and closing.”
