Take this from someone who worked here. They sell out of date product, they sell meat in chill past its recommended freeze by dates, they sell meat and chill products that were out of temperature above 40F (Bacteria grows fast between 40F - 70F) during transport from mainland, and weigh products without removing the weight of packaging.The pricing within the store is ridiculous overpriced. Seriously, just go to Costco. They offer Business Delivery. Save yourself some money.

One of the BEST stores for chefs, foodies and restaurant owners! Excellent selection with a fraction of the crowds of other warehouse stores.

The kind of place where you go to stock up or buy big quantity of your favorite items.Great customer service.The prices are on point!The selection is more than awesome!The freezer is so huge and cold, BUT... they have jackets!Its not always easy bringing the littles places... this is not one of those places! Keeping them entertained so you can fill your cart with everything you need and than some is completely do-able here!

Despite many shoppers, everyone attempted to social distance and wearing their face masks properly. Customer service was great as we asked for help in purchasing a specific item.

Love shopping there. The kitchen and food products are is to find. Very clean store. Customer service is very helpful.

Review №16

Clean, nothing overwhelmingly special but very restaurant and kitchen focused. Unless you buy large quantities, you might be better off going to your local grocery store and buy the same stuff at a little higher price to equate the gas costs you incurred going here.Nevertheless, kinda fun shopping here...

Great deals, free membership friendly customer service, and about the only place on island that I could find 00 flour... Best part is it was cheaper than buying it online.

If youre going to buy food or food related wholesale items, you might as well shop local. They have everything you could need and more for your kitchen or business. They have a good variety of locally grown produce and other select items you wont find elsewhere. I am like a kid in a candy store everytime we go there.

Provides a different selection of food items not found at retail grocery or big box stores. Most items are sold in bulk, so make sure you have enough freezer space available.

Review №33

This place is fantastic for buying your food in bulk. Possibly better than Costco and Sams. Where else can I buy a 80LB box of chicken thighs for under $1 a pound. They have your standard sizes you see in the grocery store but its far more cost effective buying the giant sizes. Sizes far bigger than Ive seen in other bulk stores. Great for stocking up your kitchen for a month or two. They even have a lot of kitchen tools and fine knives you typically only see online living in Hawaii. Word of caution though, bring a jacket. Their walk in cooler with the meats and produce is freezing. I love the cold and even I couldnt handle. They have jackets to borrow but using the same jacket as complete strangers? Ew, no thanks. But I cant recommend this place enough.

Cool place - lots of gadgets for the cook in all of us. Bulk supplies for parties at home, or anywhere. The crew is professional and spot on with everything. Very clean, well organized and plenty of room to just shop and look. Bring a coat - the refrigerated section is cold, and BIG!

Awesome place for foodies. Better than Costco in so many ways. No electrical or pet food and no prepared food but the various meat alone makes the trip worth it!

This is a pretty big warehouse to find some supplies in bulk. You can spend a good amount of time walking around taking a look at the merchandise.Sometimes you can find better deals on weekly sales ads but overall this place is pretty good to get your much needed supplies or ingredients

I love this place! Its like a hidden costco, but smaller. Its a restaurant supply store. The deals on the bulk food items are really good and not everything is in extreme bulk. Definitely come here to shop for parties.

One of my favorite places on the planet. A restaurant operators dream. Full assortment of products, good prices, easy to get in and out, buy a case or buy a unit, full of great menu ideas and options, nice folks, locally owned and supports local manufacturers/producers and farmers. Wow!

I like that you can get things here that you would otherwise have to shop multiple places for. When I went, it wasnt crowded, the place was clean and the workers were pleasant.I also grabbed a few things here that I dont see in other stores. That was surprising and a nice change.

Not crowded! Friendly service. Large selection of meats and seafood .Refrigerated foods are in a large refrigerator. Its cold so bring a warm jacket or use one that they supply.Large selection of restaurant supplies.Seasoning galore . The only thing they dont have is a large fresh bakery and fresh seafood .

Review №66

Think of it as a Costco for restaurants. All of the food you didnt know that you had access to as well as togo and kitchen supplies. Its worth a look and open 7 data a week.

Ma
Review №67

They do have some foods you cannot buy anywhere else but their prices are similar to or more than Costco. Resturant supplies are great but you cannot be sure when they will have what you want. But for some really nice things like real Spanish sherry vinegar or green rice or such they have itSadly they do not carry many of the products they bring in for professional resturant accountants. Many of the foods they sell are cheap artificially flavored mixes and such for cheap restaurants or food service organizations

Cl
Review №68

Costco prices without the Costco crowds. There is a free membership and a wholesaler membership. Keep in mind this is primarily for restaurant owners and such, so its all industrial sized portions but theres plenty of regular sized portions as well. If you like to cook this place is heaven.

Review №70

After being their loyal customer for 3 years, now that I needed to return some items, their answers was a big NO without any hesitation because of their newly updated return policy. Wont recommended at all.

Jo
Review №71

They have so many awesome products. Everything you could need to throw an excellent party, lots of pupu choices (your favorites from the pub or lounge), entree basics to exotic storage containers, etc. Dress warmly if you need produce or frozen items as their cold section is really really cold. Jackets are available to borrow. I tried it wearing a dress and couldnt make it to the back aisles lol. Long sleeve and heavy Jeans recommended... also items are only sold by bulk so be prepared for extra storage unless its a good sized party you are having. Also, gotta bring your own bags.

Review №80

Chef Zone is similar to a Cost U Less which is what Hilo, Hawaii has since the only Costco on Hawaii Island is located on the westside of the island. Anyways, downside to Chef Zone is they dont have employees on the floor when you have questions. But thats to be expected in a warehouse store. I love the prices. I wish Hilo had more vendors that were similar if not the same. But oh well, I make it a point to stop here whenever Im on Oahu.

For us, this place is great. We often cook for 300+ people so to be able to buy things in bulk is great (restaurant supply quantities) they have lots of items to choose from, a demo kitchen, samples of items.

Free membership, apply as a business or personal. Walk in freezer with jackets available to help cope with the freezing cold temperature, buy in bulk, affordable prices depending on what youre buying. Restroom available as well. Check them out and support local!
