Looking for fun snacks from various Asian counties? This is the place! Looking for fun snacks from various Asian counties at ridiculously cheap prices? Nah. You can find cheaper snacks elsewhere on island, but not THESE snacks, and that’s the point. My son, who moved to the mainland earlier this year, found the store on social media and said he’d love a Christmas stocking full of whatever we thought looked yummy and usual. We went overboard, and had a good time doing it.

Love this import store with various products from other countries. The most variety and so interesting to try various sweets like cookies and snacks. They also have noodles and some skin care and hair products.
It's fun to walk around and see interesting flavors of lays chips.
It's an experience. It's nothing fancy but a fun experience to walk around and see things that you don't normally see in a grocery store.
It's a warehouse with boxes and signs to let you know what things are.
We loved the lays chips flavored Spanish ham.
Street parking and some metered .
Cash is king but you can use a credit card 💳 for a fee, cash apps and other ways of paying for the products. These are all non perishable items.

My husband and I had discovered this place via social media and couldn’t wait to come by. I have no ideas what the prices are for any of these products oversees (which come from different Asia countries) but it wasn’t a deterrent. This place was a lot bigger than I thought. There’s one big main warehouse and 2 smaller ones within the store. I was pretty excited at all the options. And super glad we are able to access oversees exclusives that I would otherwise never see or know of. Mahalo!!

I recently discovered this fantastic Asian candy and prepackaged grocery store that has become my go-to for unique treats. The variety is impressive, featuring rare finds like orange Kit Kats that are hard to come by locally. The store's diverse selection and delightful surprises make it a must-visit for any candy enthusiast. They take cash, credit, and Venmo. Grab a tiny cart basket, you’ll need it!

Pretty cool place. Warehouse style, nothing on shelves, everything stacked in boxes. Lots of selections for Chinese/Japanese/Korean imported snack, dry food, hotpot packets, instant noodles and etc. Very interesting selections of chips and all prices are fair. Will definitely come back for more! As for the expiration date comment. The date printed on body of the package is usually the production date, and it'll say X amount of month for shelf life in the ingredient box. That's how they do it there just FYI. For payments they take credit/debit and even venmo. Beware of the 3% surcharge on credit card payments.

Very barebones Asian snack store with a great selection. The warehouse vibe, stacked cardboard boxes instead of shelves, and prices written on the cardboard made me feel like I was in Chinatown.

Not only Chinese, Japanese, and Korean products, but also some Thai and Vietnamese offerings. Mostly snack foods and drinks, but also some noodles, soup mixes, spices, condiments, jarred foods, health foods, and more. Most of these are products that are hard to find anywhere else in Hawaii, and on the flip side they don’t carry products one might be expecting from an Asian snack store. For example, they only had one flavor of Japanese KitKat when I went. As others mentioned, excellent selection of Lay’s, from China and Thailand mostly.

And yes, a lot of the products, especially the chips, are past their expiration date. Most of them are only recently expired, so they will still be fine if you eat them soon. Those that are quite far past the expiration date are marked down 50%. The cashier also gave me a pack of expired snack bread for free with my purchase. For somebody like me who isn’t squeamish about expiration dates, this place is awesome!

@Ariel W. all of the products I looked at either had only an expiration date or both a production date and expiration date. And there were definitely expired products there.

Glad I don't have to shop online and pay extra for some of the snacks I like. This place has amazing asian snacks and drinks, along with some health items. A couple of the items are a bit past the manufacturers expiration date, but still good ninetheless. Will be coming back whenever I run out of snacks in my household!

Fun warehouse atmosphere, because that’s pretty much what it is, with all sorts of imported snacks from China and Taiwan and surrounding countries. Prices were much higher than I expected, but that doesn’t seem to stop the long line of people from buying all the packages of highly processed food.
