Palama Supermarket

"A thriving local Korean market. As a tourist, Was able to use UPS service and did a haircut that my family said be the best scissor job ever."

"Last visit here about a week ago (Palama on corner of Kalakaua and Makaloa). It's the usual asian style Korean market. Lots of fresh banchaan selections to fill your fridge, along with ample Korean ramen selections, assorted beverages and snacks, fresh produce, and fresh kim chee. Very clean aisles and pleasant. Market gets 5/5 stars. Worker MIMI gets 10 stars. She is the epitome of customer service. Very kind, friendly, and very helpful! If you can't find what you're looking for, she will get it for you. Absolutely the BEST of all market associates I have experienced compared to many other Korean markets (including Los Angeles county area, H-Mart, S-Mart, Market World, etc). Mimi is the role model of all customer service industry. I believe Mimi is the reason why many customers return to this location in Honolulu. Mimi is the BEST! Parking can be tight and limited when busy. Don't ignore the parking attendant if there is one, and don't be angry at him. He's trying his best to ease the congestion at the driveway. I haven't eaten at the food court, so I can't comment on that section."

"7/2026 Gimbaps rock! 9/2022 Haven't been in a long while since I used to work nearby. Do miss their fried chix thighs from years ago - not the Vons, fyi. They used to make their own. So bummed. However, there are a handful of nice options to satisfy that hunger, Vons, sushi counter, K plate lunch and my personal favorite, the ala carte bento cart. Still great deals to be had on that lunch counter display. I love the Kimbap and Jun items. Complete meal the way you want it! It's also K- town central if you want produce, meats, foods, beverages. Miss this place and would visit much more often if I lived closer. Open up a mini store in Kaimuki/ Kahala please! Will try and make it back soon."
