Foodland Farms – Hawaii’s Largest Local Supermarket

Foodland Farms is Hawaii’s largest and most well-known local supermarket.

It’s a popular grocery store that almost every resident in Hawaii loves and shops at regularly.

While they sell a wide variety of products, they are especially famous for their poke, which is reputed to be the best in Hawaii in terms of both selection and taste.

You might wonder, “Can poke from a supermarket deli really be that good?” But the truth is, it consistently wins first place in Hawaii’s popular food rankings every year!

With over 30 locations throughout Hawaii, you’ll likely see them everywhere, but the store at Ala Moana Center is highly recommended as it’s the largest one.

Recommended Poke at Foodland Farms

The display case is always filled with various types of poke, including tuna and salmon, as well as octopus, squid, marlin, bonito, and mussels.

Smaller stores may have fewer options, but rest assured they always stock the classic and popular items!

For classic poke flavors, we recommend options like Spicy, Shoyu (Soy Sauce), and Hawaiian.

Popular choices include Wasabi Shoyu, Oyster, and California.

If you’re curious about a flavor, you can ask for a sample, so don’t hesitate to ask the staff!

How to Order at Foodland Farms

Ordering poke from a display case in English can be a little intimidating, right?

But Foodland Farms’ poke is such a great deal that we really hope you’ll give it a try. Haha.

First, if you want to buy just the poke by weight, you’ll order it by the pound (lb).

One pound is about 453g, which is quite a lot, so it’s common to order a half-pound (227g) or a quarter-pound (113g).

Since it’s priced by weight, we recommend getting a quarter-pound of a few different flavors to try them all!

If you want to buy a poke bowl, it’s even simpler. Just tell the staff you’d like a poke bowl and then choose your favorite poke.

They’ll pile a generous amount of fresh poke on top of rice for you.

By the way, you can get two different types of poke for an additional fee, so if you want to compare flavors, just ask for “half and half”!

For poke bowls, there’s an extra charge if you choose a premium poke, but otherwise, the price is the same regardless of which poke you select.

Foodland Farms’ Reusable Bags

Supermarket-original reusable bags have become a classic souvenir from Hawaii.

Whole Foods may have started the trend, but Foodland Farms also offers a wide variety of reusable bags.

The cheaper ones start at just over $1, and there’s a rich variety of patterns and materials, including limited-edition designs.

Since it’s a grocery store, many designs feature food items like poke and Spam musubi, but there are also unique Hawaiian-themed designs that could be a fun conversation starter. Haha.
