REVIEWS OF Costco Wholesale IN Hawaii

Kirk Powles

This is America's busiest Costco. Let's say that again. THIS IS AMERICA'S BUSIEST COSTCO!!!!!! So when your they're and complaining about the amount of people, reread the first line of this message.

Irene Viernes

Today was a good day to shop. Not very many people and no long lines. Fast and easy.

Juliann burke

Fun place. Good and cheap outside food

Renee Fontenot

Great gas, great shopping. Get a Rotisserie chicken.

Greg Linnemeyer

I returned a Tommy Bahama chair that broke. Easy breezy, plus got $8.00 credit for another one I had purchased at the same time. Great customer service.

Cullen

Pizza shop does not answer their phone. Showed up within 30 minutes of closing time to order 7 pizzas and was told I was out of luck. I told them I'd tried calling to make sure they had pizza and/or to place order. I was then on my way empty handed. If they'd only answered the phone I could've saved a bunch of time. So it goes.

Taylor Pierce

There's a lot of choices and the workers are very friendly. Only problem is that everyone and there cousin wants to go to this one. So parking can sometimes be an issue depending on the time you go. It's best to go here eaither right after they open or around 2:30-3pm.

Cerina Cottrell

Great service and good deals with Delicious foods and Desserts with awesome memories

Nathan Anoc

Great had no problems

Hapa Kama‘aina

The employees who work here aren't particularly helpful or pleasant. And the parking lot is always ridiculous, no matter what time or day you go. But you can't beat some of the deals.

Jay Cho

I saw a lot of peoples. but they dont have some stuff ,compare to the one in hawaii kai.

Losivale Lui Yuen

It was very busy today but went smoothly.

Lucas Nathaniel

Fast and considerate customer service, in all departments I have required services from, the only downside that comes to mind is the parking issues that arise when you have a popular business in a dense area.

Brittany Ward

I love costco. I'm not giving five stars solely because parking is HORRIBLE. It's not because it's busy, I get that. Home Depot on the same block makes parking a breeze with a parking structure. Costco could greatly benefit from adding one. I understand it may not be feasible to shut down the store to build this for their customers, but it'd be nice.

David

We love Costco, especially in Hawaii. The prices are great and there is a great variety of merchandise to choose from whether you are living on Oahu or visiting for a week. Best value is the food court.

Pieter Vliet

The evening before a holiday and the store was pretty busy and lots of empty shelves... But, it's Costco so everything is good

Sandra Wainwright May

Love Costco! Their fresh fruit is awesome though getting pricey. Right now the organic peaches are so juicy and sweet. Their steaks are the best and in general their products are trustworthy.

mkmy808 .

Busy on the weekends but definitely the best Costco on Oahu. Big parking lot and easy to get into and out of the lot. More room to line up for Costco gas compared to Iwale location. The crowds are not so bad weekdays, the staff are great as any Costco location.

Evelyn Okuma

Got everything I wanted. Went early to beat the crowd. Parked right in front. Lucky!

Michelle Covey

A whole aisle of Hawaii treats, nuts, etc. Pretty much the same as all Costco merchandise, and better prices than anywhere else on the island, if you can afford to store bulk amounts of things. The gas is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, too. Like every Costco ever, try to go first thing in the morning or right before closing. The parking lot is atrocious any other time, and for some reason everyone at Costco saunters through the isles so slowly and then stop and stare all around them for large chunks of time.

Morgue Rata

Love shopping at Costco for deals on selected products...However the parking lot is a hassle ...they dont cut prepackaged meats.. and they dont have a self checkout or an app to self purchase your items. .

O'Connecting Worldwide

A great place and I still got some items in my refrigerator. The prices are very good!

Eric Okamura

Got there half hour before closing on a weekday, plenty parking and very small crowd! Where in the world do these ratings post to?

k. Y

Love going Costco! But the cashier gave ready bad attitude because my family and I had multiple carts. "Why do you have so many carts for? You could've fit everything into 1" first of all, my kids were in one and I dont have to explain to you why. Just scan and I'll pay.

john Castillo

Well it's actually a good place to get many things in bulk if your in to that. They never let me down when I have to fill an order for a weekend outing. Big chips, big meats, big fruits, big condiments, big snacks even things like battery packs. Double AA, AAA C,Ds thay come in big packs. The only thing is prepare yourself for the crowd. It all depends on what day and time you go. For most if not all weekends are bad if your not in to crowded. Crowded store, crowded parking lot. Long lines during check. Sometimes it's amazing how good they can be in getting you through the lines. I guess it depends on who's managing the checkouts during the busy times. Somebody knows what they're doing. I like the cheap eats out side it's all good. Just remember the lines can be long...

Alexandra Serratos

You can purchase a Hawaiian pineapple on the cheap, if you're on vacation. Friendly service, and tasty Hawaiian snacks -- loved it! :D

Mai

Typical Costco, friendly staff, good finds, spent too much money, ate pizza.

Scott Paxton

We just love Costco. It's a little crazy to get to though.

William Okamura

It was very busy Sunday Morning at about 930am, the number of cashier's moved people out in a timely manner. I like the early morning opening times it allows me to grab and go. Thank you costco.

Tiare

Great Rotisserie chicken in their supermarket section. Good sales in the department store side, fun cheap & good, outdoor food stand with great prices, a good mauka view, long picnic table area and usually a good breeze on hot days, when the wind is still in other places.

Dr. Chris Keliiwaihoikeone Camarillo

great service and awesome prices on things I use everyday

Jai Chotalia

What can you say about Costco. I love this place. There are so many good deals. Always keep an eye out and watch the pricing even after you buy your high ticket items. Customer Service is GREAT. YOU HAVE TO BE A Member to go in. CHEAPEST GASS PRICES if they have a gas station. Food is very cost effective. Pizza is yum. The smoothies are delicious but be aware of the caloric intake! Enjoy!

Tacy R.

Impressed with the employees at the Waipio Costco. They go out of the way to make your experience there a helpful one. Although, the lines at checkout are long, the cashiers are quick. The next thing you realize, you're on your way toward the exit with your 101 purchased items.

Joyce Guieb

This is one of the busiest stores in the nation. Great store. Cheap gasoline.

Roberta Hyatt

This place is a LIFESAVER! Especially here on the Islands. The prices help save money, the pharmacy and eye center are a huge benefit. The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Their little handmade quick fix meals...man, every single one of them from the Bulgogi to the pot pie and everything in between is perfectly made and tastes great! I highly suggest getting a membership for the many, many benefits this place has to offer. From the bulk purchases, great prices, to the insurance and travel options. It truly has everything!

Ashlee Wheeler

I was so excited to have Costco back as an option when I moved back to Hawaii last Summer. I have had the membership almost a year now and finally asked for my money back today. I have attempted to shop her dozens and dozens of times and have left less than 5 times with actual goods. More often then not there aren't even carts because it's so jam packed. Sam's club, sadly, is the place to be on this island, incomparable lines and typically cheaper by at least a few cents and same prices on gas.

Carol Luke

Return line is very long they should have more cashiers for retirn. The person who gave me refund made mistakes and was rude. When check out I was supposed to given a blue slip so the cashier will be able to give me the same price of the item.

Lynn Kealohaleimakamae

Forgot to use my coupon. Love corn crab chowder and lobster bisque. Mix them up with extra corn and seafood.. delicious. Thanks for carry out help. Makes a difference in the wheelchair. Love the new crab displays and variety and rib eye steaks. Made a beautiful Christmas for many of us. Nice to have calm people helping you during the holidays.

Seymour Hale

Whenever I'm passing by Costco I have to stop and get a snack. I am a single guy so it doesn't make sense for me to buy in bulk, but the place is super busy and I always hear folks talking about the lastest deals. One-day.... I'll have a family to look after and I already know where I'll be shopping

Vance Duke

Great way to save money if staying in Waikiki. We wanted a quick dinner so we can hit the boardwalk. We bought the pre made chicken salad and it was good. There food court is outside and it is a fun place to people watch. Prices were not that much higher then on mainland. My only complaint. Why don’t they sell surfboards at my Costco? The pic is of a foamie but they did have the hyper lite surfboard. Illinois is so uncool.

Justin Wiseman

Love Costco! Deals on deals. Gotta love the cheap gas and outside food that they got too.

diane shimabukuro

Costco does a great job moving the line through the check out and exit. PLEASE improve gas service options... Too LONG lines trying to drive into gas station, Sam's has a separate location just for gas.. love it! No lines, same prices.

Kenny Lay

Like any regular Costco wholesale. Best place to buy food and supplies.

Mr Del

A lot of people. Lucky I only visit Hawaii

Deloris Hairston

My most favorite place!! I was taking a friend, and I helped her spend all her money...not all, but more than she planned to spend. I could not let her miss out on buying those items.

George Junior Paco

Their prices and the to die for chicken bake that is sold outside at their small kine food court. A great place to purchase great quality and unbelievable low prices food after shopping

Dee Dee

We love going to COSTCO because of the outstanding monetary savings available to us, and the very professional & friendly cashiers. Long lines move fast, largely due to the focused COSTCO staff. We can be in and out of the customer line waiting -- in about 8 minutes. Not sure how that equates for COSTCO, but that's incredibly fast for my family abd friends. Great management organization!

sharynlynn bradley

I am disabled but don't look it much.I was dreading shopping after a recent fall.They sent an employee to assist me while shopping. "Michelle", was friendly and entertaining. Best shopping day ever at Costco! The Aloha is abundant at this Costco.

Kathryn T

Best prices on the island for food and snacks!

Donna Fong

Large Costco. Had good selection of meat but breads were on the low side. Poke selection not that great. We came here to buy chocolate covered macadamian nuts which were plentiful.

A Martinez

Sad to say but I'm going to tell the truth about my last visit. I've been coming here for over ten years and this was the best place to get the best I mean the best because Costco usually Carrie's the best Pizza on the island (sorry if you thought it was going to be a big end of the world problem but it's my story and I'm sticking to it.) When I ordered a pizza and picked it up and got a table to sit down to enjoy my favorite place to get a

Sean

Way too crowded. I feel a certain bit of rage guild up whenever I go to this location.

ALFRED CHEONG

Great place for merchandise and groceries, with tire sales and services. The gasoline price is great for Costco members. Counter servers are fast and efficient.

Chala Bone

Super busy. Food court has good food quality. Fast service. Long lines. Sketchy people on the outside area.

J Camacho

I went to get a new car battery which is in the tires department. I was third in line and it took about an hour and a half for me to be helped because they prioritize the people coming to pick up cars after working on their tires. I wish they put the batteries in the main warehouse again, as it was so much better. Apart from this, Costco is the best for everything else

One_ Thunder 808

It is a great place to get food and other thing that you need.

John Lee

This Costco has plenty of selection, a food court, and gas station. All are great!

Aubrey Behrends

Good place to get macadamia nuts, coffee, pineapple, sea salt, leis & more if you are visiting. If you need a coer bag or a beach bag they have the nice cooler bags that are Hawaiian themed and the design changes each year. They also have some of the cheapest gas prices on the island. Food Court prices are the same as the mainland with the same selections.

Deb K.

Always great shopping here!!! Love the selection and prices.

Steven Raymer

A gem here for stocking up on basics and they have local goods which is a bonus. It does seem to always be busy so give yourself some time. The south side of the parking lot always seems less crowded and easier to navigate.

Doug Rohn

The absolute best place to get fuel in all of Hawaii !!

Lorna Hu

Anyone who knows Costco is familiar with their wide range of bulk products ranging from food, furniture, sports equipment, pet products and more. For a very busy store, it was easy to get around, parking didn't require any circling, found everything on our list, check out lines averaged three deep but moving, courteous and efficient check out.....not bad for a Thursday just before lunch.

Nick Wendrych

It's a Costco, have you not been to a Costco before?!? Okay but seriously, I gave this Costco a 4 because it's just SO DANG CROWDED! Seriously, so many people go here. Same as every Costco, buy your Gallon of Shampoo or 6 pounds of bacon, they've got the bulk you want, and a lot of times a surprisingly thorough selection at that. Also, they have a lot more food at the food stand (which is outside btw, so no Costco card needed to get that footlong polish dog) e.g. Pizza, salads, cold brew coffee(I don't recommend it though), pasta, burgers, plus all of the usual suspects. It's a Costco guys, other than the food stand is exactly the same. STOP GOING THERE THOUGH, it's too busy! Thanks

Kristen Maua'i

I have always loved Costco no matter where it is... But the reason why my husband and I like this is because this is one the closest one to the north shore. There are 4 Costco on the island of Oahu! There are so many great things about Costco here are A few A. Depending on what days you go will depend on how much samples will be out... So in other words free snacks... B. When shopping in Costco you can nearly always bet on bulk. No matter what you get... So in A lot of ways you are saving money that way... But not so great if your only wanting one thing of shampoo and not a bulk load of shampoo. C. There are always great deals on all kinds of products. D. The gas prices are undeniably cheaper then any other place on the island. So if your a new couple or family wanting to find where to go to get everything and not break your bank account.... Then Getting a member ship for Costco is a great way to go!

John La Rúe

replaced a broken glasses frame. VERY HELPFUL STAFF. Made several accomodations to adapt to my problem. Better organic selection each time i go here. Apples, Okinawa sweet potatoes, raw nut mixture, bananas, and great price on avocados! very pleased at quick checkout/ease of shopping and oh, great new blue cheese hummus.

debbie k

Debbie K. I love going to Costco. Altho it's scary.

Kelsey Chow

Costco is great whether you're on the mainland or the island. The best part about Costco here is the Hawaiian specific snack and products you can find! They have the best price on macadamia nuts for bringing back home for yourself or others. Also, lots of other interesting and delicious snacks you can't find anywhere else. If you need beach or water sport things, you can generally find them here too.

Rod Diaz

Very clean and Great deals as always oh and

Naydine

Busy busy busy. Great customer service!!

Linda Chang

Great, all my shopping, marketing done. Wonderful bargains in quality clothing if you are there WEN merchandise arrives, otherwise problem finding sizes. Great return policy!

Carlos Phillip

Staff is very good assistant personnel Very Good store

Kori Lono

Its the busiest Costco in the nation. But the deals are awesome here. Parking spaces leave ample room for fully opening doors while loading up your haul. However with the amount of traffic going into the store you will spend some time finding a stall.

Harry Wasson

Was wondering about rechargeable battery set. And when will you have sewing machines for sell again? I ask a worker where the hefty white paper plates was? The worker facial expression was I'm to busy to help you, but go look in the area where the detergents and paper products. If you don't see any we out.

Nancy Azeri

The employees and check out process are organized and quick. Great service.

Christian Smith

Actually 3.5 stars. I would've have it 4 but I finally joined Sam's Club and I mean Costco overall is better because of the strategic locations and amount of Gas stations and appearance.

Chris Whipple

Who doesn't love Costco? This is a great place to stock up on everything. The parking lot is jammed full anytime you go, but so is the store. They move people through pretty quickly so it's not too long of a wait. They don't carry all the same discounts as the mainland, but they're still pretty affordable.

Joseph Reinhart

Very very very busy!!! They have everything you need and more, just be ready to fight the crowds to find parking, maneuver through the store, check out and get out! A lesson in patience.

Rick Dennis

This is your standard Costco with large quantities of everything. Lots of food samples and massive amounts of people. The parking lot is very large and very full. Finding a spot was difficult. It was a Saturday afternoon to be fair so possibly not so bad at other times of the week.

Curtiss Ako

Costco Iwilei has well priced consumer items like other Oahu Costcos. However, it is overcongested; parking is difficult, cashier lines are quite long, and customers bump into each other with the large shopping carts. This morning they were understaffed with cashiers and the wait for checkout too long.

Leslie Lewis

It was very crowded and lines were long on Saturday. There are many interesting and useful things, quality of goods seems higher than another warehouse store we go to. The cashier was friendly and helpful.

randy peiffer

Tremendous deals. They pay and treat their employees with respect.

Orlando Stephenson IV

Always crowded, but staff works hard to be quick

Susan Sisco-Berry

This is just like every Costco on the mainland, except it is the busiest one I've ever seen!! Just trying to maneuver in the aisles was a nightmare--not to mention waiting in line! Although it's truly a great place to purchase things on the island, this is not their only location. If you have the ability to go to one of the others, it might be worth your time!

Helen Oshiro

Made a late payment for my membership. Interesting place to browse around and find some new items there.

Vince Kahawai

For the gas prices and the cheap hot dogs and soda or the 5 dollar whole chicken (cooked & hot)....cannot go wrong!!

Ms. Lee Grant, MSW

Good shopping and a great place for lunch or dinner

John Ferraro

Costco is just simply the best. And, mine is better than yours.

Alex Parkes

When it comes to items necessary for bulk purchase or larger items that may need a superior warranty, Costco is the way to go. Costco offers a lifetime, satisfaction guarantee on most of its products! Whether you have a large family or just have some items you buy regularly, buying in bulk at discounted rates at Costco can save you a lot.

Jolyn Tenn

Had my front tires changed at the Costco Tire center. The staff was friendly, price was reasonable and the job was done in the timeframe quoted. No appointments available on Saturdays, so I suggest you get there early like 6:30, they open at 8 if you need you car done quickly.

Boris Sztorch

Great prices when buying bulk. Great deal on tires and hot dogs! Hawaii Kai store less crowded than Honolulu store.

Michelle Tapales-Iacob

Must stop for budget friendly food, snacks during your holiday & Hawaiian treats to take home. Never disappoint. Food court got good selections of hot meals to go.

Karen

Great prices. Free parking. I had to return light bulbs and didn't have a receipt but no problem. They just got the info from the computer. Quick and easy! Love shopping at Costco!

Nohea Leopoldo

Gas line long but prices are great!

Alan Hashimoto

People lets be considerate of the people grabing the wagons and the people that are walking to their cars and for the people walking please look before you walk and no just walk in front the cars other then that the employess work very hard and have great polite attitude with the very harsh conditions they have to put up with it aswome customer service keep it up you guys are great

Kayla Morikami

Excellent. Helpful and friendly staff. Great return policy. My favorite place to shop. They will help you load your car.

Sarah Moore

I prefer the hawaii kai location.

James Somera

My visit today was very busy but I found everything I needed and didnt have to wait in the check out line to long. They were fast and professional considering how busy they was

David Castro

Good place to shop for groceries. But I love the food court. If you want a couple of slices of pizza, a big hot dog and a drink or a nice tall frozen yogurt to cool off on those hot days look no further for a great deal any day of the week.

Jeffrey Hosley

What can you say, Costco is Costco. Best gas prices on the Island. They have some things, Sam's has others. Their prices are sometimes lower than Sam's and sometimes not.

Amanda Lee

It’s a Costco so expect lots of people and hard to find parking. The only reason to make a special trip to this Costco for tourists is because they carry a large selection of macadamia products to bring home as souvenirs/gifts.

Cliff Murakami

There are different products at this Costco from the Costco I go to in California. Wide range of products from the Hawaiian islands. I wish it was available at my location.

William Jager

Good stock and friendly workers. Food court outside makes it rather accessible. Lots of car traffic and not enough parking are the downside

N40M1 D4N6

Great sales. Very rough parking.

cam o

this review is only for the tire center. I dropped off my car to get the front two wheels balanced at around 13:30. I was given a time frame of about 4 hours, and I understand that they're busy and there are a lot of customers before me. but I went back to check on it around 19:30 and they still weren't done. I got my car back around 20:00. at least the customer service is not bad... bottom line, if you want to bring your car in to the tire dept, check in at 7 am. any time after that, they say, is busy.

Marc Florentino

If i compare Costco and Sams Club. I rather go to Sam's Club. Sams have a better deals. Costco feels like the checkout lines are unorganized.

Mark De Guzman

great ... me and mom found what we lookin for

Susan Keogh

For what I can see Costco has used the same business plan in Australia and Hawaii. So much of what l saw today was the usual line up that Costco has to offer. Same store layout obviously because it has worked.

Raphael Tirca

Costco is just perfect if you need 500lbs of ice asap.

Leighton Leong

Great bargains. Iwilei Location not to good. Street traffic getting there horrible.

Sarah Sutherland

Very busy and clever shopping here!!! You need a strategy to care for your purchase!!!

Duane Hamada

Too crowded, but centrally located. Helps that the staff are terrific! Bargain Carry out prepared food especially for the price.

Jennifer Harris

Most affordable store on the island! Even when it seems expensive or like it will be hard to go through that much... go check out market prices elsewhere and you’ll see Costco is the way to go. Then check out any Foodland location for the smaller items, fresh herbs and such, and you’ll find great deals there too.

Jus Ar

Always crazy here. always has what I need in and out and 30 minutes

Holly R

A good Costco, but VERY busy and full of tourists.

Craig Mills

this costco is huge. Good wine selection. Good selection of everything. Always busy.

Chris Knorr

Great selection and prices! -Especially electronics! It's costco. Parking a little bit tough to find a spot - but okay. Great return policy! Staff are fantastic!

Garrett-Michael Lee

Good prices. Very popular destination. Crowded.

Raymond Do

Hardest part is finding parking because it's really busy. But overall great service and you don't need membership for the food which is located outside
