Times Supermarket

i needed their keys to take a dump. no one was in the stand. one lady counting money saw me and kept counting money. got the keys 15 minutes later and ran for it. btw i regularly buy their plate lunches but service is zero. next time i’ll get the keys from another store.

This store has to be the worst store I’ve been on I won’t be heading back to this location

Limited edition of RED VELVET Oreos is out today! I got my fix! Thanks, Times! No other store has it!

Open pretty early good service

Clean, good customer service, nice variety of fresh produce and food, and really great poke! I find that the sale items are cheaper than the other stores. Extra kudos for having a solar roof that doubles as shade for parked cars and parking spaces specifically designed for electric vehicles with free plug-​ins.

I’ve been coming to this times since I was little. Foodland and Times are the only places we go for groceries.
The customer service here is great. The employees are really nice!
The store itself is clean, and are always stocked! which is a plus!
I love coming here for the fresh poke. They’ve been there since October 2013, and every time I go I always see lots of people getting the fish. They have more variety then Foodland Liliha, so the extra 30 second drive down the road is worth it for the fish.
Not much to say about this store, its your basic grocery store, so whatever you need in the kitchen, this is where you can get it!

This is my family’s go-​to place for fresh produce since it’s pretty close to our house. The store is pretty rundown and unattractive, but it gets the job done.

Great supermarket located in my neighborhood. Love that they have plate lunches for sale on Monday, Thursday, and Fridays. I usually get the steak plate on Mondays. Can’t go wrong with the price $ 6.99 for Roast Beef, Mushroom Chicken, or Hamburger Steak. Also comes with a drink. Only sold on Thursdays. They also renovated and added a seafood section which makes it better if you feel like getting some poke. Overall great place to get my grocery shopping done and affordable.

Found my used gift card and went online to try to find out the dollar value of it. No can do. Wanted to contact Times to find out how or why I could find the amount online. Big, long form to fill out including name of store I visited, date, etc. which has not happened yet. Sigh. $ 5.00? $ 50.00? It matters to me when I step into the store how much I am able to get. Do I buy snack or dinner?
Hate to say this but Foodland has a vastly superior interactive site that not only can I find out such things, but also my past purchases, how many coupons I have traded in and for what product. I can find out how many points I have before I can receive another coupon. And BTW, Foodland coupons may now be cashed in for gas. Albeit $ 25.00 worth of Aloha or Shell gas used to be redeemable for 2 coupons. Now it takes 4. But at least with FOODLAND, you know where your dollar amount stands!
So what if these memberships track customers! I like them knowing what products I’m interested in!!! I want the store to remember that I had to return stinky strawberries or decided to get free eggs and bacon from them!!! I WANT THEM TO KNOW ALL OF THAT~END RESULT, BETTER PRODUCTS, BETTER SHOPPING EXPERIENCE.
Last week and the week before that I bought large watermelons at Times because the price was lower than Foodland. One was gritty, light pink and not sweet. And the other was red, cottony with a big crack in the hollow middle. So disappointing. I’ll never buy a watermelon from Times again.
And nevermind telling me to use the watermelon app on my phone. I did but it was unreliable, at best.
I tested it ON MY OWN HEAD and it said, «Melon is old, over ripe and probably rotten. Best to throw it out.» (D’oh?)

This is your typical Times Supermarket-​mainland and local products and a little pricey compared to other grocery stores. Good news is this location has a good selection of liquor. Bad news is that I found a lot of refrigerated sale items were about to expire-that’s why they were on sale. For instance, there was a whole bunch of sour cream that was on sale that was going to expire the very next day! That’s cutting it too close. Another negative is the parking. The lot’s full of potholes and it’s pretty crazy on the weekend as this is a small lot that they have to share with American Savings Bank, Subway, a Chinese Restaurant, Fantastic Sams, and a nail salon. So plan ahead ’cause parking is tricky during the weekends. Oh, and did I mention that the customer service isn’t that great? I have yet to encounter a friendly employee at this Times. So overall, this Times is not my first choice to buy groceries at.

I had already snagged the Chicken & Waffles (School St Foodland) and Sriracha (Pali Safeway). I was going through the possible stores to obtain the last of Lay’s Flavor Contest chips. I ended up calling Liliha Square Times and the Customer Service rep advised me she had only 1 bag left of Cheesy Garlic Bread and Sriracha. I asked her if she would hold the bag for me and she took my name down.
Unfortunately, the Liliha Square parking lot is going through construction so a chunk of parking was blocked off so it was kinda nerve wracking as I wanted the bag of chips really, really bad! To my surprise, they had valet attendants to guide customers and to prevent people from being overaggressive with parking.
This Times may need a face lift but it was bright and clean. I walked up to the Customer Service counter to see my bag of chips on the counter and I was soooooo happy! I didn’t have to stand in line as I was able to pay for my chips at the Customer Service! NICE!!!
A big Mahalo for such awesome customer service. I had to dock them a star from the parking chaos today.

I’ve been coming to this Times for years to pick up family prescriptions from the pharmacy and do a bit of grocery shopping. Their dairy section is a bit lackluster, though the whole store shows its age right down to the cardboard and duct tape patching over some low spots in the floor.
The lunch plates vary significantly in quality. Sometimes, it’s excellent. Other times it’s banal and mediocre. Some of their prices tend to be ludicrous, given the appearance of the store. If the place were fixed up, the prices might not seem so garish.

Years ago when we lived in Kalihi, Times Liliha was our grocery of choice. Even now that we live in the Salt Lake area my mom still gets on the freeway to shop here.
It’s a little hard to see that Times is no longer locally owned. You really can’t tell the difference — especially at the Liliha store. Virtually nothing has changed in over 25 years. Some of the clerks from my childhood are still there (including a lady in the Pharmacy who’s been there for years), and the newer ones are always pleasant and happy to help.
The shelves are always stocked and the store is clean. Their prices are comparable to that of Safeway and Foodland, and while some might complain that their prices can get high — they tend to carry several items (like the Asian/​ethnic foods) that are a lot cheaper at Times.
I’m also a fan of their steak and plate lunches. I only wish they could have steak every day and not just once a week.

Times… Everyone has their own preference of where to shop. I have no favorites. The closest to my home is Safeway. But recently i have found that if i just drive about 2 minutes more, i can get to this Times. The store is pretty clean and the AC is blasting so dont forget to take a jacket. I must say, i have been finding more and more deals at Times… I do like to comparison shop and so far, Times has been a winner. I guess it would depend on the type of foods you buy since some things are more expensive than others. The only problem i have with this location is the parking lot… it is likebroken up gravel. cant be good for the tires, shocks, suspension, and your eggs if they are in the cart while you are pushing it through the parking lot… :) But overall, i give this Times a thumbs up because of the easy access from home, and the good deals. Thank you times.
PS… dont forget to fix the parking lot.

I shop here from time to time, since it was near my work. Supermarket prices has been inching up recently, but that’s why I go to Costco for more value but when you need that specific item and at a reasonable price, Times is the place to go.
I didn’t know they started to sell steak plates at lunch until I saw it for myself. The way that they prepared it kinda turned me off, since I was a lover of steakhouses. This place does not do steak justice at all. Then again, it’s Times.
For whatever else you need for daily use, Times tends to be higher than the others, so you might want to ship around for the best deal. The staff is great for locating what you need, so that’s a plus. Plenty, but limited parking at Liliha Square.

Steak plate. how can you go wrong. It’s pretty cheap and they do a good job with the steak. The groceries are ok too.
G

I never knew they served steak plates during lunch. Did you?

I didnt used to like Times, but recently the other supermarkets have gotten unreasonably priced. Safeway down the street claims to have ‘thousands of everyday low prices’ and tons of specials, but i hate having to do maths when shopping… (buy three 12 packs of soda at $ 6ea and get 2 free… making cost per each um… carry the 2… $ 23.64??!)
This Times is a little run down, but they are slowly improving it… they just upgraded their wine section, but really, if its a little run down and they dont have to jack up the prices, thats all good.
The produce is pretty good, the liqour prices are now more reasonable and a decent selection, lots of local stuff, specialty baked goods available.
The Monday steak plates are awesome!

I was communicating with my cousin recently and we spoke of the neighborhood supermarket across for where I used to live, and about the days we went shopping there. It was great to have a supermarket across from home. Just crossed the street to get needed items. Talking about the store brought back a lot of memories.
With the power of the internet, I just checked their sale prices for items, and I have found the sale items competitive for Hawaii. However, when I was home during the last visit, June 2009, I found that the non-​sale items were little high compared to what I go get them for at the major retailers, which are starting to offer non-​perishable food products.
Now that there are the major membership stores, and big box stores, which offer great pricing; hopefully, they will start noticing and price accordingly with the market forces.

Not a 24 market. Closes at 10p
Some items can be unusually expensive.
I’d go to safeway for most of the stuff they have.
