Iolani Mini Mart

This place has recently been under new ownership in the past couple months! Their food offering has been completely revamped. I tried their butter Mochi and chocolate Mochi and I was over the moon!!! It was so yummy, a must try for sure. The new owner, Rj creates really yummy specials. I've tried both the yellow and red curry and both are really good. I always grab 6 or so musubis, a couple breakfast bentos and some of their yummy caramel rice krispies to take to the beach for my family. All in all, I love the rotating food selection here. I'm always impressed when I try something new at Iolani.

This is great and so convenient because I live in the building. The prices are very fair for the convenience. This shop has saved me on multiple occasions.

This place saved my life all the time lol! It's literally right there where I live. I usually go there when I'm craving some snacks or to get my tutu some cigarettes. They have a good variety of stuff in there as you would expect a small mom and pop store would. There's ice cream, drinks, microwavable food like hot pockets and burritos. They have chips and alcohol too. The owners are very nice. They were never unpleasant to me when I was there. One of them always makes conversation which is great as some other mini marts do not. They close at 10pm which I like. I can go there of I'm craving anything and I don't have to walk far or drive to the nearest store.

I used to visit this store after school when I was a student at 'Iolani. We ate Slim Jims, Melona bars, kim chee ramen bowls, ice cream, and macaroni and cheese bowls. I miss those days when I could eat that kind of crap. The store has changed management since then, and now that BF just moved into the building, this store has become our default stop for groceries and quick snacks (especially morning coffee/caffeine). The selection of household goods, groceries, and alcohol is limited - it's no substitute for a full grocery store - but we can usually find what we need. There is also a small refrigerator with ready to eat food that is replaced daily (sandwiches, musubi, hot dog manapua, etc.). The owner is very nice and always smiling, and I feel good about giving him our business :)

Great local Bodega... Can find common household items you might need in a crunch but don't want to go all the way to Safeway or foodland for like milk, butter, soups, small dinners, snacks etc. Decent selection of beer. The two owners are always friendly, they have good open hours too.

I never knew this store existed till my 5 year old son told me about it ....so we went and got ice cream one day on our way home from school . Today he wanted to get ice cream ..we went in with his little brother in the stroller ..and the man at the counter greeted us . While we were looking for his ice cream my son starts dancing around and now says he has to pee . I said ok let's dip our house is maybe 5 minutes away ...I guess the guy heard us and handed us the key for his restroom . He even made sure we found it and locked up his store just to make sure everything was ok . Anyways ..we then went back to the store to get his ice cream and I thanked him ..such a life saver . He said no problem it's for the kid no problem ! I don't really think any mini mart or small grocery store would do what he did ! I'm thankful ..and I just wanted to share with anyone that comes across his yelp page :)

went there several times and the guy over charged me for certain items...be careful and watch every scan of items and watch what he punches in the register if the item doesnt scan...

Great little mini mart. Hours are different than stated. Adding a picture for most recent hours

this hidden gem is under new ownership and RJ & the crew has been super helpful with all of my needs. definitely recommend to anyone looking for an early breakfast grab n go or any essentials that you may need. they're fully stocked with literally everything lol thank you for the solid service always!
