Takahashi Market

Oh mang! this is our all time favorite when missing the ohana and comfort food. Since finding this spot by dh i remember we would go every weekend because we were that excited and there werent great stores like this many many many years ago but we're very happy that they have been here and would like for the store to stay for many many years to come The owners and their staff are very friendly and helpful. Lastly, omg the food and quality hands down! Just like in Hawaii! 😋😋😋😋🤗 the boys really love their BAM musubis regular and spicy and mochiko chicken while we the adults lol have our local boy, portugese spam and salmon musubis, pork lau lau and of course, salmon and ahi tuna poke we have been coming before the boys, but we'll continue to come here and HELLA recommend this place!!

It's a small market that has a kitchen to prepare Hawaiian specialties. We went on a Saturday morning. They open at 11 and by 1050 there were ppl lined up outside. When you walk through the door, someone is there to get you and take your order for the kitchen. If you're one of the few that is shopping and not ordering food from the kitchen, you will see the ppl rush to the musubi warmer to the left of the shop or to the back of the shop for fresh poke or to the front door fresh butter mochi/ strawberry anko mochi, or other manjus from the Shuei-Do manju shop. There are lots of items you'll find in Hawaii only. Reminds me of the little mom and pop shops on the island. We bought 3 different musubis (unagi, spam, and bacon egg spam). Unlike the hand held size you'd normally get, you get a foil wrapped package with 2 pieces inside. Each one varies in price. I really like the unagi. The bacon egg and spam...eh. like the egg, but the bacon was an after thought. We got a 1/4 lb salmon poke and a 1/4 lb Hamachi poke. They both come with a side of rice (white or brown). Super fresh, so delicious 😋. I'd give it a 5/5. Hubby ordered Loco moco, laulau with Kailua pork, and mochiko pork plates. That's right, mochiko pork! They have chicken too but we wanted to try the pork. Loco moco was really hefty. Thick luscious gravy over the burger patty and sunny side up egg over rice. That put hubby in a 3hr food coma. 4.5/5. I wish there were a little pepper in the gravy. Mochiko pork was good but we didn't eat it right away so it got soggy. 3.5/5. Dad, who normal don't eat much meat really enjoyed and raved about the laulau kahlua pork plate. We bought other groceries and can't wait to make some Hawaiian meals of our own. Super fun experience. Hidden gem for sure.
