Palama Supermarket on King — Attraction in Honolulu

One of more 5 Korean markets on Oahu. They have a meat department that has your usual staples, such as shirt ribs, pork cutlets, and ground meats. He vegetables are pretty decent, and prices are better than most other markets. As you would expect, they have a great selection of Korean pears. The packaged goods sections are great for finding spices, seasonings, and pre-made items like soondubu mix, kimchi seasoning, and gochujang sauce. They also have a prepared foods kiosk area with kimchis, egg and veggie pancakes, mandoo, etc. However, the parking is problematic as it is one entrance in and another entrance out. Cars waiting for a stall can back up traffic into the street, and missing spot means you go all the way...

I don't know how many palama markets there are. I only know of two the one that's near downtown and the one that's near to Waikiki. They're very different in many ways. If I have time and I'm going downtown I prefer to shop at the one downtown on King Street. Everyone is helpful they go out of their way to extend customer service. The other one it's a parking nightmare. Everyone seems to be angry that's parking and extremely impatient. The attitude is just a little bit north of welcome to palama give me your money now leave! But that's just me. I'm sure either store can provide the items that you're looking for it's just that I believe and what I see is the customer experience is better at palama on King Street...

Today Thursday April 27 , I really wanted meatjun plate and we were at the food area in the back left at 9:10. Sadly workers just look at us and after waiting 3 min or so a worker ran and flipped the closed sign to open and took our order. We ordered meat jun and chicken katsu. Meatjun had 2 pieces of hair , one I ignored it and after almost eating all meatjun was another on paper before the rice. I am quite sad that whoever packed the food their hair keeps falling. and I am sure they saw the hair before putting meatjun on the paper. Meatjun was not hot but thankfully the chicken katsu was fresh. I wish whoever pack the food , was more thoughtful on how they feel if they saw someones hair...
