KTA Super Stores - Kailua-Kona - Kailua-Kona, Hawaii

KTA Superstore –

We made several stops at KTA Superstore during our trip to the Big Island, mainly for groceries and fresh local ingredients. Being a home chef, I come prepared with a lot of spices and a well prepared menu for our 7 days. It’s a well-stocked store with a good selection of produce, meats, and Hawaiian specialties.

The fresh produce section had some great finds, but prices were steep— $18 for 18 eggs due to the ongoing bird flu issues. Luckily, we found a slightly better deal on eggs at $8 per dozen and grabbed two. Worth noting for memories of 2025!

One of the highlights was the fresh ahi poke selection. We picked up high-quality ahi that we used to make delicious poke bowls back at our rental. Much better than what we had at Big Kahuna Grill and way cheaper.

Pros:
✔️ Well-stocked with essentials and local specialties
✔️ Convenient locations for travelers staying in Kona
✔️ High-quality poke and fresh seafood

Bottom Line: KTA Superstore is a great stop for fresh local ingredients and meal prep supplies, but expect to pay a premium. If you’re staying in a rental and planning to cook, it’s still more cost-effective than eating out every night, but shopping smart is key!

Here’s a few pictures of meals we made:
Teriyaki Chicken, made Chinese Chicken Salad with Leftover, Poki Bowls, Ono Fish Tacos, Asian Sticky Ribs, Hawaiian Macaroni Salad, the best breakfasts and so much more! I think I want to write a cookbook now.

We do most of our shopping here thanks to the nice produce, meats, seafood, bakery and selection of Asian foods. This particular store has the best selection of Japanese specialties and fresh fish, two very important items for us (the Mrs if from Japan).
They stock the Parker Ranch grass fed beef, which I find to be excellent! It does not hurt to call ahead as they don’t always have a wide selection. It’s also the only store in town. I’ve been been able to find fresh ground pork. As for fish, they always have some nice fresh cuts, and even whole fish to choose from, the best selection of local fish we’ve found! Also, Kauai Shrimp and sometimes fresh Big Island shrimp! We love their prepared foods, and the poke is awesome!
They also have a nice wine selection and carry the Ola Hard Juices, my favorite!
We find the staff PARTICULARLY friendly, knowledgeable and helpful! The rewards club is great too!

First came here to shop some deli foods for quick meals. They have so many Asian foods and we found some hot Japanese deli for half priced at almost closing time! ( Regular price was affordable!) They were actually delicious, and shop staff were very helpful and friendly for tourists like us.

I love their poke! I'm not familiar with this grocery store, but I really enjoyed my first time shopping there. It was clean, organized and had a lot of variety. Seriously, their poke is excellent.

While we were in Hawaii, we visited this store to buy our groceries. We were impressed by the great variety of foods available. Our favorite items were the papaya, local sodas, and masubi made by the chefs. I can't wait to return!

It's probably none of my business but I went shopping for some thanks giving stuff with my grandmother and on out way out we saw one of the employees using the restroom in the parking lot near the bushes. It makes me worried on how clean the employees are and if they wash their hands or not.. not to mention they have perfectly good bathrooms in the area too. It brings me concern to other people's health if they didn't wash their hands and they are touching products people are going to eat, such as fruit, veggies and all other types of food. Not to mention children come into the store as well, they can get very suck or develop transmitted jerms from that kind of stuff. It's not hard to go to the restroom. I'm sorry but this just makes me very grossed out and I'm probably going to stop shopping here for a while.

Over all store and customer service is very good but that one employee ruined our shopping experience for us.

one of my go-to grocery stores as they serve local, fresh produce from the farm. Fresh catch seafood. Fresh baked pastries and deli sandwiches. I consider going here for party platters as well.
