Times Supermarket

This place has been around forever and has always been a staple in my family’s grocery shopping. There is lots of variety with all sorts of foods available ranging from fresh fruits and veggies to fresh meats to bentos, and even a hot food line. One thing that I have really liked has been the hot food line. The food there is already made, affordable, and delicious. They have Hawaiian food, steak, and salmon plates.
I like how Times specializes a little bit and carries a wide range of ethnic foods and different food staples that big box stores don’t have. I enjoy going to smaller stores because they usually have more variety and I can pick up the things that bigger stores don’t have.
Parking is not too hard to find with a reasonably large lot. There is a bank that shares the parking lot, but it still leaves a lot of parking spaces for everyone.

Most places make you pay for plastic bags. I forgot to bring my own bag and bought two ½ gallon cartons of juice, nice cashier gave me a free bag. Very Akamai and nice. So I bring my Times plastic bag to Don Quiote and other supermarkets to as advertisement for Times.
Times you rock!!!

Overall this is a nice store, they usually have decent prices on things. There selection is a little small but that’s to be expected from this size of a store. My one complaint with this place,(and it’s every day when I walk in there), is the lady who works behind the lunch counter in front. She is the nastiest, rudest lady in the entire store. She always has a grimace on her face and will not even a knowledge you if you say hi… really, try it sometime. I went up to order, not knowing ahead of time that you need to pay at cashier… and she snaps…” where’s your receipt, you need to pay first at the cashier! «…Wow!!! I do not know what her deal is… but I just walked out of there and she still looks like she is mad at the world… and I go in there every day, so I know it’s not just a one time thing. Try and monitor ALL of how your customers are treated, not just the ones at checkout stands… who by the way, are some of the nicest ladies and gents on the Island. I still love the store, I just try and avoid that section…

Came here because a friend swears by the steak here and because he wanted to let us know this place is better than Blazin’ Steaks. LOL. So one Friday right around noon we decided to give it a try. They do the grilled steak thing on Fridays so we came to check it out. Don’t mess with the guy cooking the steaks — just go inside and order at the lunch counter. Sterling Silver beef cooked on a grill — what’s not to like? So this is really a review for the grilled steak plate lunch because I don’t actually shop here. I got the grilled steak with rice and salad. The only problem is there’s no real area to eat inside Times and I didn’t wanna do the eat-​in-​the-​car thing so we drove down a little ways on King Street to Stadium Park and had a nice picnic there. I had to agree with my friend that recommended this option — the steak IS better than Blazin’ Steaks. Even my dining companion who dragged me to Blazin’ Steaks twice agreed. Price: very good value for what you’re getting! Parking — was easy to find when we went but it was a weekday before lunch. Your mileage may vary.

Mahalo to Ed in the meat dept. On 2÷5÷15 they were sold out of the ground turkey on special. I got a rain check, and on ²⁄₁₃ I phoned to see if they had restocked since they had just run a repeat ad. Ed, from the meat dept., offered to hold three trays for me since I have a 15-​minute walk to the store from my home. Thanks, Ed! I would have been peeved if they were sold out again.
Times prices are generally higher, so it’s this kind of customer service that will keep their loyal customers.

I love their steak plates although this time I only bought 2 side orders. I fonna make my own rice and sides. I can’t make my steak taste as good as theirs and i eat it with shoyu and tabasco. Soooo goood. Especially the one in Mccully because they cook their steak med rare to medium.

Did you know that this location was the first Times supermarket?
Based on the store’s appearance, you can probably tell. The building is a bit shabby but don’t let that prevent you from shopping here. Out of all the supermarkets in town, this store has the most reasonable prices for fresh produce and meat. The only downside/​exception is their fresh ahi poke. You may want to shop at another location for seafood poke. In addition to their low prices, the service here is excellent. Everyone there is very helpful and incredibly friendly.

I am very pleased with what I needed. .the cashier was very polite to me when I asked for the lemon meringue pie and soon enough, I found it
This really made my day a much better one so I can get ready for my next Christmas party on Monday night. I will be back shopping at this location when I am in the area. I am happy that I was able to find the pie and get it so I can enjoy my party

This is focused on the plate lunches, although the market is pretty good and the prices are better than other local stores.
So, Times, Steak. This is an amazing combination. I follow their online schedule, planned family meals around it and questioned my friendship with my beloved grandma after she didn’t enjoy their medium rare prep. Seriously I love my grandma BUT how do you NOT love times steak? Once I heated it for a second meal, she was more forgiving although she insisted that they should just sell it that way…
In conclusion, if you love steak, and grandmas, Times is an amazing, and affordable option.
The staff at the plate lunch counters is always helpful. They are probably humored by how obsessed people are with these pieces of meat.
Prices and portions are awesome!

Times on King Street is my quick stop grocery store. Easy to get in and out on the way home and the people here are really nice…
They seem to have adequate stock of everything… and I don’t find long lines here.
The market is layed out so it is very easy to find things… there are main aisles on the left and right and then the other isles with the merchandise go all the way through. so you don’t run in to dead ends as some markets have.

Store #1 Times McCully.
Did you know that this was the first Times Supermarket built?! Yep this location has been around since 1949. That’s why it’s also probably the smallest location.
[[ THE STAFF ]]
The management and staff are all friendly and helpful. They are pretty much like family, goof balls I tell ya! & I love them to death ;D
[[ PHARMACY ]]
The pharmacy at this location is great! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Christine is always great in answering my health/​medical questions and concerns!
[[ PLATE LUNCHES ]]
The plate lunches are okay. I ate them so many times, I’m personally tired of it: P

[[ TO FELLOW CUSTOMERS ]]
Keep your stupid dogs OUTSIDE. I don’t give a rats butt if they are «service dogs». If you are putting your dog in a wagon it is not doing ANY service. That is so unsanitary. I put my food in those wagons. HOW DARE YOU.
Now if the dog is actually assisting you, like they are suppose to be… Then please do what you need to do.

I have written so many bad reviews recently so I am going to try to look for the positive aspects of everything instead of focusing on the negative.
I live right by this Times, and today I am writing this review about the people who work there, the one I recall the most is Jasmine Temblor, she is always kind, smiley, no matter the time of the day, she is always helpful and you can see she is real and enjoys helping the costumers. Everybody else is the same, very kind and nice.
I love the saturday’s ribs so that adds up.
1,2,3,4,5 stars and a Woot Woot! for all the Times King St. workers.

Small town supermarket in the middle of a big city, this is one of two places I regularly shop. Times are always laid out in a logical manner with produce inside the doors. This is one of the main reasons I come here: there are lots of items locally grown available at normal prices. Fruits obviously are shipped in; they rotate sales, which helps. I never see bruised or rotten produce as I do at other stores.
They have a lot of typical groceries, I stick with healthier items. The meats looked super fresh today, I was tempted to buy a steak.
My favorite reason for coming here is the beer selection and sales. There is always a premium brew for about $ 1 a bottle. Tonight, I went with Kirin Ichiban at that price. In the past I’ve had Stella Artois, Beck’s, and St. Pauli Girl all around $ 12 for a 12 pack. Also a great wine selection.
This particular store always had friendly cashiers and is clean. I love the oldies they play over the speakers.

Love this store. Everyone treats you like family. I was so stoked that I even took the time to give positive feed back on the times corporate website.
Plenty parking.
Funny story. Don’t push your cart too far. It will lock on you. I had to pick up the cart like the hulk and carry it 20 FT to the cart area.
Don’t forget Huli Huli chicken Fridays.

This is a smaller store format, however, it will cover all the basic food necessitates. The store needs a remodel, it’s definitely old and warn, but the employees keep the shelves clean and provide good service. The prices seemed a little high to me.

this location needs a renovation but the products are still good.
Hurry up and renovate this location so people will want to come more often.

I’ve been going to Times Supermarket for decades! I even remember when Honolulu Federal Savings and Loan shared the same parking lot. Unfortunately, due to large membership stores like Costco and Sam’s Club I seldomly go to neighborhood markets anymore except for their sale items .
One of the things I frequently buy when Times Supermarket advertises in the newspaper, is my one big weakness, Haagen Dazs ice cream! I love that stuff. Especially chocolate chocolate chip! Just like many other Times Supermarkets, this times has a very spacious parking lot. They’re open relatively late and like many stores, give you a rain check if your favorite flavor of Haagen Dazs ice cream is temporary sold out.
Times has a very friendly neighborhood feel of pleasure and sadness caused by remembering something from the past and wishing that you could experience it again. I try to do more my shopping while I’m there for the sale items but it’s very tough to purchase their regular priced items due to the fact that is just very hard how to price beat Walmart and Costco.

Hey Guys, have you ever took the time out to check out Times Supermarket’s plate lunches???
I must say, they do serve up a value packed plate lunch… and you get quite a lot for your dollar. I found this out, as a friend told me about the bargains, as well as seeing some friends post pics on Facebook.
About two weeks ago, I was looking for some grub and could not decide on what I wanted to eat. All of a sudden, Times Supermarket (McCully Branch) came to my mind, as I was jonesing for some Huli Huli Chicken!
I’ve had their Huli Huli Chicken in the past, and was quite pleased on what I got, but today as I picked up my Huli Huli Chicken plate, I noticed there was a little change in the way they this this dish.
As a Huli Huli Chicken connoisseur, I know in the past when I got this dish, I received ½ of Huli Huli Chicken.
But when I had ordered this dish recently, I noticed the Huli Huli Chicken was all cut up in pieces. When I ate it… I noticed the chicken meat was basically breast meat. It still had the nice smokey flavor, but I felt it was missing something. I like to have my drumstick, chicken wing, thigh, & breast. But oh well, I guess they had to change it up for some reason.
Still a great bargain, only $ 5.99 for this plate. You get two sides, and a scope of rice (white or brown), and also a drink (soda or bottle water).
I ended up getting two servings of mixed veggies, and a scope of brown rice, and a bottled water with my Huli Huli Chicken. Still a great deal for $ 5.99 + tax.
There are also other great items that they serve over here, like the steak plate… check ‘em out, no can go wrong.

What happened to you?! This is a review for the plate lunch that they sell at this location. Garlic Shrimp Plate. I didn’t think it was possible but it was mushy on the outside and a little bit rubbery on the inside. K let me explain it was like it was sitting in liquid for a while so it was mushy soft on the outside while the inside was kinda rubbery like it wasn’t cooked through. The kicker was that it didn’t have any flavor. No garlic taste, no buttery flavor. Nothing. I don’t think I will be ordering this again.

This is a good neighborhood Times Supermarket and if you’re a rando tourist in the area or a local, you can get what you need here. Good stuff includes:
— discounted sushi and bentos in the early evening. Just watch for the lady stickering new prices as soon as you walk in
— fresh stuff to the right. processed straight ahead
— alcohol to your left
— meats and seafood in the way back
Not the largest market, but it’s got what you need.
