This store has been a part of Oahu for a very long time. I have loved shopping here since I was a kid and still love it. They have so much variety of different things from groceries to many different Asian products for your household needs and a poke bar that has delicious poke as well. I definitely recommend shopping here and the prices are so reasonable. Don Quijote is my go to grocery store they also they have a food court inside if your looking for a quick bite.

Don Quijote at Waipahu. East end of Waipahu on Farrington Hwy. Between Zippys and rail station.Property change several times. Former Gems and Daiei, now a Don Quijote of Japan bought out the business. Sell US and Asian grocery/goods. Open 24 hours. Sale starts Sunday to Saturday. Weekly paper ads or sign up online. Small Food court inside.

Loved my shopping experience tonight and most definitely loved the 210% customer service Robin from stocks gave me. She is by far the sweetest employee Ive encountered while shopping here at don Q so good job Id give you a raise for this!

Friendly staff as you enter and a wide variety of products from good veggies and Fruits to a sorted types of liquor and nick nacks and some collectable Toys and crafts. Not your typical grocery store..So much more than that

It is opened 24 hours also has some very good eating places that are opened late as well. The store is clean and carries many different products to fit any nationality and ethnicity. They also sell Electronics coolers and grills and camping equipment.

Initially, I admittedly had a difficult finding my way around the store, however found that maps of the floor were made availabe, which was quite helpful. Some prices beat other local stores; be on the lookout for the treasure tags on the prices. Wonderful selection in my hometown.

Went for the spare rib stew (which is 5 star btw) and saw this shirt which made me laugh...the place is a bit run down, but the food is good!

The hours are very helpful for people who work odd schedules. The prices are even better, Some of the prices I saw in the Waipahu Don Quijote were even better than on the mainland in Washington state!! This grocery store was the first one I went to when I moved to Oahu, and the prices made me realize I could still eat how I wanted to and be able to afford it. Spent about $200 and filled up the fridge for two people. This place is really good for frozen items and meat, as well as produce (a lot of the produce is from Hawaii as well, so that’s a big plus in my book!) and a few canned items were reasonably priced as well. Don Quijote has definitely become one of my main grocery stores when doing my monthly food shopping trip! I always go here first. They also have their weekly advertisement listed online, so it made planning and budgeting for what I needed and the prices I needed it at much better. Staff was incredibly friendly and helpful as well! Thank you!

Great place to pick up things you cant find in other grocery stores. Need some Japanese food products or drinks? You come here for the convenience. You need some instant noodles, you come here at 10 pm, they stay open 24 hours.

Don Quijote is a good place to buy a lot of local vegetables and ethnic foods. The food court is really big and whatever food you buy you can eat there comfortably. I enjoy going there.

Review №22

Love Don Quijote! Minus one star as I noticed it was kinda smelly this particular day but thats not normal. Excellent customer service always, and the food court is Awesome, I highly recommend the Pastrami Sandwich from Bale!

Review №23

I only shop here to buy vegetables. This place is drastically cheaper than whole foods, down to Earth, and Safeway. Once the rail construction ends, the parking lot will be easier to navigate. The staff is friendly and quick. I love how the cashiers will vehemently enforce the Express checkout item limit. Not the biggest fan of the food court: dingy, dark, and in need of a facelift. My advice is to get your plate to go. Easily the best selection of Chinese and Japanese ingredients.

Review №24

Amazing Deals! Especially as a small business local food owner, the produce department had great customer service and great prices compared to other places! But Id still go to Walmart for laundry soap. But other than that, everything was great!Great customer service at Produce and great customer service at check out!

Review №26

This store has so many things you may be looking for and several more you didn’t know you needed. It can be a little overwhelming with how many options they have but don’t knock it until you try it! It’s nothing fancy, but definitely a good one stop shop for those hard to find food items and/ or little trinkets. Definitely a great place for all your get together needs.

I will always remember the previous names of Don Quijote.... Holiday Mart and Gems! They still have a great Asian selection. Best place to find BIG rice cookers. Camping supplies other store dont carry!

Great Supermarket with everything you could possibly need. A friendly staff are always willing to help you choose just what you want. The freshest fish absolutely did most tender steak on the island can be found at this wonderful store. They also have a fast food takeaway counter with daily specials and tasty broasted chicken too!

This two stars is not for don quijote I give them 5 stars, but I give 2 stars for the Filipino food in there food court. Went there yesterday the food tasted spoil, i told the man that worked there all he said was sorry... but keep in mind the food must be sitting there for a while I guess I will not be eating there again

Wow. great place to shop. First time I was here I didnt have the chance to look around, only been there to use the bathroom, which was clean and well kept. Second time, it was a place filled with so much produce and merchandise to choose from. Shirts, hard, electronics, restaurants, ready made food, local produce and many other things in here. They accept cash, credit/debit, EBT. Bathroom available, different restaurants to eat at theres about 5 or 6 of them I think. Good place to shop and relax as well.

Review №37

A general store in every sense of the word.. Supermarket, food court (mostly Japanese and Filipino foods), household, clothing, electronics, etc. If you cant find it there, you probably cant find it anywhere... Heavy on Japanese and local foods and products.. Not fancy but fun!

Review №38

This place has everything you can imagine. I recommend buying stuff that youre unlikely to return. I purchased some RCA cables and returned them because they wouldnt transfer the signal; but the rep gave me a hard time-asking what I meant and if I plugged them in correctly. Not as effortless as Costco or a big chain. In a sense you could say that its a huge store with great variety, but they operate like a small mom and pop establishment when it comes to returning stuff.

I shop here very often because its not to far from home. They have a variety of merchandise to choose from and their prices are fair, compared to your usual grocery store. The hours of business is very convenient since heyrere open 24 hrs. everyday, except on certain holidays. The checkout lines are usually long especially between 3 and 10 pm however....the cashiers are quick at ringing you up, bagging your groceries and sending you on your way so if your in a line at the check outs....no worries because you wont be waiting in line for very long.

Undoubtedly one of my least fave DQ. Floor plan took a little bit to get used to. I did notice produce is generally luck of the draw either its super fresh or super dead.. its not a bad store just needs a little work.

Review №55

Came here for first time with family that recently moved on the island. I was really excited to go here but my mother was stopped at the door and asked to keep her bag at the front on a rack. The guard was outside and the rack inside the store behind him....someone could easily swipe her stuff. Other people in the store had backpacks and their purses. I cant help but feel like we were being judged racially and I normally dont rush to that conclusion. She didnt even walk into the store because of this request. It feels horrible to be treated like this. Shes a woman who will spend her money. We will no longer be returning. If blacks have to leave their bags up front...everyone else should too. Very disgusting place.

They have just about everything you can think of. If you love sea food, they have a wide selection of fish and shell fish. If you like meat, they have a wide assortment available. If you dont see something you like, ask the butcher. Hell get it for you. They are great. If you dont want to buy in bulk, go to Don Quijote.

Havent been in to this store in a really long time. I intended to have dinner at the little food court area. Only to be disappointed because a lot of the places had closed down.
