KTA Super Stores - Keauhou

"Hit the Safeway when we first landed because KTA was closed, but was so happy to patronize the KTA afterwards. Amazing poke bar, amazing local prepared foods. And oh so much spam. Great beer selection as well as Japanese snacks. This store makes me happy."

"Loveeed this grocery store! I came here about every other day during my trip. The poke is so good!! It was about $16 for rice, spicy tuna, and marinated spicy salmon (my fave). The ube mochi donut balls are also a MUST. I still think about them all the time. I would go back to Kona just for those!! Sushi is also great. And of course lots of great snacks, souvenirs (I got a few magnets), and everything you could need."

"This was the first place we went after arriving in Hawai’i, as it was a five minute drive from our hotel and we needed groceries for the week. It’s my understanding that everything in Hawai’i is a little more expensive than where I’m from - and that was the case here as well. We were able to get groceries for the week for the two of us for about $80. (Nothing fancy - mostly stuff to pack lunches for beach days.) The produce section was nice, there’s a swimming gear aisle - we bought cheap scuba masks here near the end of our stay. There’s a small selection of souvenirs and an Asian food aisle. The staff were friendly, there’s convenient parking and you get a small discount for bringing your own bags. The photos are most of what we bought back in our hotel. We also got ramen, apple bananas, pop tarts, chips, and tater tots. $84. Not too bad for Hawai’i and we got four lunches each out of it plus breakfast for most of the days and some snacks."

"Hawaii’s supermarket. I think it might of originated in Hawaii. Lots of fresh produce, freshly baked goods, hot foods prepared daily, along with your standard groceries. So there’s a bakery, deli, and pharmacy also in this store. We visited this store about 3 times during our vacation and also encountered friendly and hospitable staff. There’s lots of free parking and there’s lots of stores, restaurants, and a movie theater in the same plaza. Keauhou Shopping Plaza. And you can’t miss this plaza, for it located right off the main roads. Also there’s some spectacular sunset from this place. Side note: there’s a free Hula show every Friday night around 5 or 6pm in the courtyard."
