Foodland Farms is Hawaii’s largest and most well-known local supermarket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a popular grocery store that almost every resident in Hawaii loves and shops at regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended Poke at Foodland Farms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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

Smaller stores may have fewer options, but rest assured they always stock the classic and popular items!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For classic poke flavors, we recommend options like Spicy, Shoyu (Soy Sauce), and Hawaiian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Popular choices include Wasabi Shoyu, Oyster, and California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re curious about a flavor, you can ask for a sample, so don’t hesitate to ask the staff!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Order at Foodland Farms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ordering poke from a display case in English can be a little intimidating, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Foodland Farms’ poke is such a great deal that we really hope you’ll give it a try. Haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, if you want to buy just the poke by weight, you’ll order it by the pound (lb).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’ll pile a generous amount of fresh poke on top of rice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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”!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foodland Farms’ Reusable Bags<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Supermarket-original reusable bags have become a classic souvenir from Hawaii.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whole Foods may have started the trend, but Foodland Farms also offers a wide variety of reusable bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foodland Farms’ Membership Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
