We are spending a week of vacation in Waikiki, looking for where to buy poke, lau lau, salmon fruits, guava drinks and local dishes. I found this Safeway in our neighborhood. I made a good purchase, everything very fresh and well presented, I even added some colorful Hawaiian wooden spoons, a precious souvenir for my kitchen. I highly recommend it.

The local grocery store....not too bad. The food was reasonable, the store was clean and the customer service was great. If we need more food, this is definitely our first stop. Thanks Safeway ❤

Holy smokes! Food in Hawaii is expensive. Place was very clean, organized and easy to move around. We forgot that you had to purchase bags so just a reminder. Great place to grab food to cook while being in an Airbnb.

Covid shots are fast here, so long you register on line which is also fast and easy. Took mom to get her booster.

This place is terrible. The staff is rude and not helpful when trying to find things. There’s not enough parking spots in the lot so you have to try to find parking far away and walk. The lines at the checkout and deli are slow as molasses. On top of it all their selection is garbage. Other Safeway’s offer a lot more. The one in Makiki is way better. 0/5 dumpster fire

The Safeway app is really good. My last visit, i got a free bag of popcorn. My next free item just sent to me is ice cream!

Clean, organized, great produce and its open 24 hrsForgot to thaw protein and missing 4/7 ingredients you thought you picked up? Fear not this Safeway location has you covered!Very clean, well organized store so everything is easy to find (and makes it easier to compulsion shop....) The produce seems to last longer than what we get from other stores which makes weekly meal prepping easier.They have a membership points card (like most grocery stores) but here you can redeem then for free groceries through the app. You also get fuel rewards with Texaco to help offset fuel costs.The only negative is that its a bit more expensive, but the quality, coupons and fuel points make the price easier to swallow.

Great store. Has pretty much everything and a few specialty items that are hard to find elsewhere. Prices are also not too bad. When they see lines get longer they open up more registers which is super nice. Staff is also very friendly.

Occasionally has some really great sale prices, but overall things can be a little on the expensive side here. The store is definitely a huge American style supermarket. I prefer places that are a little smaller personally.

Overall a good grocery store. Just make sure to come during the daytime as the overnight staff are all very unpleasant and unfriendly. If it weren’t for the fact that this is the only 24-hour shopping option available in COVID times, i wouldn’t recommend this establishment after 10 pm.

I’ve been here multiple times while staying in the area.Each time the lines to checkout have been insanely long.I watched a guy stuff a hundred dollars of steak in a bag and walk right out the front door tonight. I couldn’t blame him, he probably didn’t have an hour to stand in line.

So expensive! Walmart is cheaper. But this place has more of a variety of items! Prepare spending $200 for 4 to 5 days worth of food for 4 ppl.

Go here quite often and would like to point out how awesome Beau is at the self checkout. He’s so helpful and always smiling and full of good vibes. If I was running the place, I’d make sure Beau gets a managerial position immediately.

Security guard followed me and yelled at me for using a sweater instead a mask. He was so rude and disrespectul and started arguing with me. That’s not how you treat customers. I will never go back to this Safeway. Thanks to the security guard from completely ruining my experience there

Came here during our trip in waikiki. I was impressed by their standards in their meat department. Im actually a meat manager for a Kroger division, and I was impressed that they are actually still cutting their own meat. Most chains are going to prepackaged meat that is flushed in gas(to enhance shelf life and maintain red color), and this store is still doing it the old fashioned reliable way. It may not look perfect like a machine that cuts meat, but the art of cutting isnt always a perfect image. Keep up the great work and keep the trade going.

Great find on an expensive trip!Safeway is very well maintained and will save you a lot of money IF you go to the service desk and ask for a club member card, its free!There is a food court and a Starbucks inside.You can take the elevator to the parking lot on top of the store to take some pretty nice pictures of Honolulu!Also just about a hundred yards away is the famous Leonards Bakery, a MUST visit!The only shock that we saw was a gallon of milk $5.49 to $8.99!And seedless watermelon $1.49 A POUND! We placed a mellon on the scales, it was a little over 24 pounds. That comes out to $36.00!DOLE should plow their pineapples under and start growing Watermelons!

Cole in the deli section of the Kapahulu location was so nice and extremely helpful. I ordered the chicken tenders, he squeezed one and suggested that I wait 8 minutes for a new batch. The batch in the bin he said was probably dry. So nice of him to share that info. It was very much appreciated. I ordered the honey turkey and he shared the red mark with me. Asked if I would rather not have those marks on my slice. Once again so nice. Wanted tofu salad but was surprisingly not available. He shared the delivery days with me. Such an outstanding employee. Safeway should be proud to have him on board.

I love this location! The employees are nice. There is a discount section in the back. There is a dollar section in the front (left side). There are bathrooms in the front (left side). There is a florist who can make actual arrangements. There is a bakery who can make custom cakes. And check out the cheese section for hidden discounts too!

Review №58

Is that what it is? The Safe Way? I certainly felt safe, although my mind overran with the keenest of desires to succeed. Anxiety, mental illness, spiritual gift? I do know but one truth, this life is finite, we are all going to die. Does that not make us bretheren. Does that not make us all akin to a commonality that is entirely unshakable. Be that as it may, I do not support the slaughter of Gods creatures in Mass. Safeway certainly kept me safe, from starvation, and hopelessness. Be good to yourself, unfortunately I am not able to join you in such tithings as is. I am cursed and must live according to the tithings of others, thats where my happiness lies brothers, and sisters. In yours.

This is a super Safeway so theres fresh meats,seafood and an assortment of poke. Also its own bakery with fresh made breads,cakes,cookies and pastries. There is also a deli with meats,salads,chicken,sub station and fresh sushi. They even have a big floral section with cut flowers,plants,lei,bouquets and assorted vases and balloons. Theres also an automated post office where you can mail out parcels along with everything you need to pack it up.All of that plus a really big regular grocery store and even some tourist stuff like postcards and souvenirs. Most Fridays they have $5 deals being offered.The cashiers are friendly and helpful. Starbucks and Bank of Hawaii are located inside and there are other eateries and businesses located at the same complex.

Review №63

I love Safeway genuinely. However when they put out an ad you have to buy so many of one product in order to get a discount you cant just buy 2 for six dollars. A lot of other stores allow you to just buy one for $3 rather than even having to buy two for six dollars

Review №69

Im super irritated at this place. I made an order that only got less than half of what I ordered. They brought the eggs but none of the other breakfast stuff, conditioner but no shampoo, and the only meat they brought was meat I rarely eat. Im using wholefoods from now on because most of the time the things they show are actually in stock. To top it off the delivery service they use has some kind of bug that showed the delivery was coming tomorrow but the delivery guy was at my door. Basically it is a dumpster fire

I usually shop at a grocery store because even though food is getting expensive, you get a better quality for a little less cash than if you were to get that product at say a convenience store like 7-11.

Wasnt to happy with last online order and pickup experience 1st of all they didnt delivery service, I had to go the store to pickup my order. Then I had to ask Customer Service Desk where do I pickup my order. I was told to call Doordash # and I had to wait for order. Finally I got my order, but it was missing my cookies which I had ordered. Ill will never reorder anything through your Safeway App again.
