Foodland is a known favorite to buy poke (raw, seasoned fish). They have an amazing variety of fresh poke, usually sold by the pound, including classics like Spicy Ahi, Shoyu Ahi, Limu Ahi (with seaweed), and others like Tako (octopus) poke.
Freshness: The quality and freshness of the fish are magnificent. the sauces are amazing and the spice gas a good kick to it but if you're a spice enthusiast, we wouldnt consider it spicey but if you find black pepper to be "spicey", then yes, you will find the spicey tuna to be a struggle.
This store is very well organized and clean. very easy to find products you need. from kitchenware to bath products, this store is excellent to stock up on home products. if youre shopping here before heading out to your next Maui adventure, this place is great.
Overall, a great Foodland location with plenty of parking spaces.

This Foodland is historic for me, as it marked my 100th grocery store rotisserie chicken of the year. It just worked out that we took a family vacation right when I was set to hit the century mark.
I could sit here and gush about this whole journey and how much it has meant to me, how it took me from 2k IG followers to 111k, and how it genuinely did change my life, but I've done that enough on other reviews. I'm going to let it rest.
A whole tissi ran $12.29 and it ended up landing at 8.8/10, which ranks it a respectable 16th out of 100 grocery store tissis I've tried.
I also got the poke from here, which was PHENOMENAL. The spicy garlic ahi went insane. I never thought I'd be using these adjectives to describe grocery store fish, but Hawaii is built different.
On my 3rd trip to Foodland in 10 days, I ended up trying every musubi they had as I’ve never seen another grocery store that sells musubis. It got me thinking about how much I love a regional grocery store, as they give you a granular look into the local culture.
I learned a lot. I learned that spam musubis are so popular in Hawaii because during WWII, fresh meat was scarce as Hawaiian shipping lines were disrupted and the US Military brought in large quantities of spam. Hawaiians began creatively incorporating it into local cuisine… interesting facts like these always send me down the craziest rabbit holes.
Anyways, shoutout to Foodland. They are running a great operation in here.

Ordered the ahi spicy poke and it was excellent! Fresh fish, just the right amount of heat, and a great balance of flavor. Portion size was generous for the price. Perfect quick meal—I'll definitely be back for more!

We got the spicy ahi and the spicy ahi Hawaiian style pokes, and both were delicious and fresh! We came back another day and also fried the spicy chili garlic crunch ahi with furikake wonton chips and it’s a really great combo of salty, spicy, and crunchy.
