M & M Tomo's Market

MUSUBIs!!!! Small Mom & Pop store that carries everything from beer and wine to musubis and ice cream. Hey they even sell fishing supplies and make keys. Generally I feel like prices are good (considering the store type), about what you would pay at 7-11 or Aloha Mart. Parking is not the greatest, maybe 3-4 stalls, but rarely are all the stalls filled. Most people are quickly in and out.Our family lives in the area, so of course we love the location, but what we REALLY LOVE are the MUSUBIs.They just seem to have the perfect blend of flavor, rice to spam ratio and of course price. The spam is more than likely simmered in a sweet shoyu based sauce and it's cut about a third of an inch thick and placed on a rice bed slightly less than two inches thick (maybe an inch and a half). The spam, rice and nori are, in my opinion, very balanced (OMG, writer's salivation). I'm not quite sure what the price is now, but I believe it's $1.89 each. I stopped paying attention after the 20th time I bought one.The couple that works there is so nice. Instead of going to one of the Gas Station Stores on School Street, give this place a try.

Tomo's market is conveniently located in the Kalihi residential area. From the outside it may not look like much but they have a good variety of stuff when you are on the go. Out of the small mom and pop shops in the area I feel that this is one of the cleanest and feels safe. They carry things like alcohol, fishing supplies, grocery items and snacks. The owner are very nice and are always friendly. The wife also makes cute art which you can see by the register.

Small neighborhood store with snacks, drinks and spam musubis! The neighborhood wakes up smelling them making their spam musubis in the morning, nice and fresh! I run in to grab a few for home lunch or a quick breakfast! The spam is a little crispier and firm, cooked with sauce, but there's no sauce soaking into the rice. Kind of reminds me of John's Store musubis!

Was a nice small store - I would come to buy 1 or 2 items, always under $10 and it was simple. Suddenly today I bought two items under $10 and was told there's a 30¢ surcharge for purchases under that $10 line. Having been 4 times in the last week this never happened and seemed like a shady cash grab for just a couple extra cents. Unfortunate, I thought this place was alright but practices that like are off putting - even for such small amounts.

Musubi is yummy and fresh. Cause they make every morning.And Owner is very kind.

Best musubi in the town!!! Small store by Korean owners, but they got pretty much everything you would expect.
