I found that shopping in US supermarkets is so much fun, but make sure money in your pocket is also ready because their goods are very alluring. We fell in love with both Don Quijote or usually called Donki and also Walmart. Two different supermarkets, one is Japanese store chain and another is American retail chain. But the two are similar in terms of they both sell a vast range of groceries, apparels, electronics and home goods in a very competitive price with some items are even cheaper than any markets out there.
With Donki, we love their fresh made Japanese food, you can find varieties of sashimi, donburi, fried food to baked goods as well. In Walmart, their toys selections amused me the most. If you are looking for some authentic Hawaiian souvenirs for family and friends back home, trust me you can find so many things in these supermarkets, from chocolates, mugs, cloths to merchandises and magnets that embody the Aloha spirit. So, it is like a one stop service.
Another best thing is with Don Quijote, the branch that located near Ala Moana is never closed. They open 24 hours. How good it is! When you crave some sushi or couldn't sleep at night, you can just wander around in this shop. We went there twice like nearly midnight, and every time we're there, there was quite a few groups of teenagers sitting and nibbling on the dining area right outside the shop. And the area looks pretty safe too.
