KTA Super Stores - Puainako - Hilo, Hawaii

KTA is one of the first places I hit up for omiyage for family and friends back in Honolulu. Get snacks and treats you won’t find on Oahu … including Two Ladies Kitchen mochi and manju!!! That’s right, if you can’t make it there or don’t want to stand in line, call your closest KTA to check they have some in stock. It’s a variety of pre-made mochi and manju so you won’t get your pick (and I don’t think there were any fruit ones) but hey, at least you got some!

This location is larger than the one in downtown Hilo, and their bakery had some fantastic looking doughnuts. It’s a large store with a large parking lot, so if you have the time during your Hilo trip, stop by here!

The plate lunches here are great! I was really hungry and stopped here to pick up some items. This was the first time I tried thier deli. They had a bunch of good food to choose from. Ribs, Pork adobo, Pork and Peas, meatloaf, turkey with gravy, mashed potatoes and gravy, stuffing and rice. I could have ordered a whole Thanksgiving meal here I was very impressed. The quality of the food, temperature, and taste were all very on par with what I would find exceptional. Great food and a great price too alot of places charging an arm and leg for a plate lunch nowadays and they werent stingy with the helpings. The staff was very helpful and quick even with a line. The mac salad could use a bit of seasoning and flavor not the best I've had, I prefer Blane's style mac salad.

We like KTA for their unique Asian foods and snacks, their pastries, and fresh local fruits and vegetables. Their seasoned meats are also really good. Their prices on most items however are usually higher than other supermarket in town. Because of that we go elsewhere to do regular shopping.

Amazing selection of everything you can name. Meat quality is great. I've had the best green onion ever. The soba selection is more than I can find in Los Angeles. Some of the snacks are not the best, but the selection is crazy big. I can easily spend 2 hrs shopping here.

More expensive than the Sack n' Save right down the parking lot, but it's got a lot more options and specialty items.

Love this grocery store. We encountered a lot of friendly workers and customers. They had lots of inventory and lots of local foods and favorites. Very busy parking lot, but it’s free and you normally can find someone leaving. And it’s easy to locate and it’s right off one of the main roads heading into Hilo.

Huge KTA with lots of selection. Large local products aisle. Prepared/hot food selection changes daily. Large bakery selection and good seafood counter.
