Chong's Market

Convenient little liquor store with Korean food prepared to go (bento). The food is good and easy to pick up and go for a quick in and out. Breakfast is always good and ready to go early in the morning.

Asian guy is very rude. The entire place wreaks of cigarettes. No wonder this place had no customers. Such a shame.

this man denied me parking after being his customer Wish I had known before buying anything...business could've been brought elsewhere! your parking lot is empty and my parking here did not interrupt your business at all. I don't even know if you're just the manager maybe an employee or even the owner but whatever you are you are bad at it! I also spoke to the employees at the restaurant across the street to inquire about his attitude. All the same, this man is disrespectful on a regular basis. and has even towed car of people working in the businesses in the area. I don't know why he's still open honestly.

Have you ever seen that TV show called Kim's Convenience? That's what this place reminds me of but without the kids around. This is a small mom and pop's convenience store which is located on the corner of Kalihi and Kahai St. If you are unfamiliar with the area it is the Kalihi-kai or ocean side of Nimitz Hwy. There is a parking lot which can get pretty busy of people going in and out. It is not unusually to see Semi trucks parked in the middle as well as a lot of workers in the area running in and out. How do I know this? It's because I drive by this place and I see it first hand. I was always curious to see why so many people are going in and out of a convenience store?!?!?! I had time this one morning before my appointment so I decided to see what is going on. I snagged a open stall in their small private parking lot and was actually greeted by the husband as he was walking out and I was walking in. There was a short line of people waiting to pay. I looked at their hands and they all had drinks and bentos. I looked around and saw a table filled with pre-packed bentos like kim-chee fried rice and one fried egg, pork bowl, breakfast special which has spam, two eggs and rice, regular fried rice. After the wife rang everyone up she came over and said hi. I asked her some questions and decided on the kim chee fried rice. Like a good Yelper I took a picture of the food and then dug in. The kim-chee fried rice had a nice kim chee flavor to it. Not too strong and not too light but just right. Small little pieces of pork and onions. There was one fried egg, it would of been nice if they gave two but hey I can't complain as I was hungry and not at home to make my own. Next time I go, I will try the pork bowl. banana bread, and spam musubi. If you are in the area, stop by and support local business.

Owner is very rude for someone who owns a "very small" convenient store. I wanted to buy some thing and he told me to move my car out of his parking lot. He didn't even know I was gonna go to buy something.

I wish I could give this place a zero star Today I thought they usually close at 4. I did my laundry and when I came back they closed evrryrhing. Really? So pretty much my clothed will be there until mobfay? Wow how rude you guys can be. Pls be aware becusde they don't even bother posting their stupid business hours. I wish I can call the policy and file w report on these assholes

This is a quaint liquor/convenience store located in the heart of industrialized Kalihi! Korean owned and run, I could hear and see the owners talking loudly to each other in their native tongue as I entered the store. I just came in to use the ATM to get money to eat some wonderful food from Ethel's Grill across the street. Ethel's Grill only accepts cash for payment. This store's ATM has a limit of $120 per withdrawal and charges a fee of about $2. Not too bad when you need quick access to your moola. Items for sale includes soda, alcohol, chips, shampoo, cigarettes, and lots more. Excellent place to stop if you need something in a jiffy. The owner was friendly as I was walking out even though I did not buy anything. He gave me a warm smile which was pleasant. Definitely a good place to stop over if you need fast cash or a convenience item.

Chong's is a great little market! They begin preparing hot breakfasts about 4:00 in the morning and have a nice local selection. They also have fresh salads and fruit's as well as a fairly good selection of groceries and quick-fix packaged goods.They are very friendly and are open from around 5AM to around 9PM Monday through Saturday and often on Sunday mornings. Their prices are competitive-to-lower than most convenience stores, easy parking, and quick friendly service! Enjoy a nice local flavor mixed with some Korean hospitality.

6/11/2024We went there this morning and was surprised this little mkt had breakfast bentos, which we bought 7 of and were surprised how cheap it was and pretty tasty.My daughter and I bought bentos, musubi's and banana bread. Big family lol. If the man that was helping us was the owner, I thought he was Very accommodating. He made a box, and threw in all the condiments needed for our bentos. If I lived this side, I would go there more often, as prices were right.
