Discovering a Buffet inside a Supermarket -- Hawaii's Amazing $35 Foodland Farms Buffet
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 апр 2024
- Hawaii, especially the Waikiki area is great but it can get expensive. After exploring the island a bit, visiting the beaches and enjoying the sights, my friends and I was in search of some great poke on the island. And as luck would have it, one of the best poke offerings which happens to be at a great price is in a supermarket! @FoodlandHawaii to be exact. We certainly sampled many pokes including a king crab poke!
And after browsing around, we found that this was more than a supermarket! With a wine bar and a grill restaurant right in the supermarket. And upon further exploring, they even have a buffet!
The buffet that the Eleven restaurant situated in the supermarket as well offers a breakfast brunch buffet including your much needed morning mimosa on the weekends. We couldn't resist and we were not disappointed. For $35, there was an array of Hawaiian favourites: from the local catch of the day, to the luscious ny strip roast and everything in between. Just don't miss out on the great pastries and chowder like I did...
If you are visiting Waikiki or the Honolulu area, definitely give this buffet a visit!

I think I did 7 rounds in 30 mins 😂
Thank you so much Rishad for a great brunch! I think somehow some controversy was created over the dessert tart😅
I didn’t even know of this and I went to that Foodland a few times😂 I’ll look into it more how bout that hahaha
The face you made after eating the banana tart was priceless!🤣🤣
I'm not a big fan of bananas... it's funny because till this day, Rishad still disagree that it wasn't bananas 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo I know if someone does not like a food, they KNOW it's in there. I put one little banana in a family serving of sweet potato and my friend took one bite and knew! I couldn't even taste it.
@@melissalambert7615 thank you so much 😃
I burst out laughing 🤣😂!
How did we not know about this buffet?? lol Great find, Tim!
We didn’t know either until we stumbled in😃
At first I thought it was a key lime tart but as soon as I saw your face I knew it had to be banana, I always enjoy watching you
It was a bit of a surprise...😮😉
So nice to be in Hawaii, that is a treat in itself. Great find for the food, all looks delish. And again, you are always kind to thank the staff and recognize them. Thank you for sharing Tim. GOD Bless!
It was a very enjoyable Buffet and that servers and host there just like many people in Hawaii are very kind and friendly. Really enjoyable and and would highly recommend if you’re visiting.
Yes ! You found the right spot ! Foodland Farms Ala Moana ! Great Idea for a buffet ! Enjoy your stay in Hawaii Tim !
Thank you so much and we certainly did not expect to find a buffet there!
Thanks for the suggestion! I live across street and didn't know this existed. Went this past Sunday and everyone enjoyed it! 👍
Thank you so much for reaching out! Glad you gave it a try and also glad it was good🙏😃
Best food review on the Tube.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and just very grateful to get to visit and share these experiences🙏
Thank u 4 da tip! Didn't know, but now I do, gotta go!!! Love da selection...yeah u, Foodland!!! Awesome.
Tim your the first one I’ve seen mixing pork and clam chowder soup! You continue to amaze me. Tks for all your time and effort.
It's kinda like extra bacon in a chowder 😉
Looks amazing! Great find Tim.
They really did a fantastic job. Food was great and so were the servers and hosts.😀
Had to pause the video to make some breakfast. I should know better than watching your vid on an empty stomach!!😂
Food Land's Brunch Buffet looked amazing! Thanks, Tim.
Yup. I wait to watch Tim while I eat. I know better.
Foodland is a nice surprise. Very good food in the supermarket, and also having a buffet just tops it off.
I never would have imagined a buffet in a grocery store. An exciting find for sure. Everything looked delicious, except the banana tart. Thanks Tim! Be well!
I wish there was a buffet in my local supermarket
Fruits and veggies! Great looking breakfast plate ❤️
I think that was the most fruits and veggies I’ve ever got at the buffet. That broccolini was absolutely delicious.
My kind of supermarket!!
Mine too!
It's always an amazing day when you upload. Thanks for making my Friday night !!
Thank you so much! 🙏
Glad you have a friend today to share with, and try out new stuff with! You encourage me Tim, with these videos! Bon appite
Wow. It’s a pressure to see you on Friday, thank you so much for another beautiful video!🧐👍🏻🤙😎👍🏻👏👏
A very happy Friday to you!
Hi tim buffet in a supermarket interesting but the food looked good and the price was reasonable I'm glad you enjoyed it
I probably had the most fruits and veggies at a buffet. All the produce was so fresh
I am celiac and I truly live vicariously through you! You describe the food so well, I feel like I’ve eaten it too! Fantastic! Thank you for your channel. Im a big fan
Thank you so much... hoping there's not too much gluten from the buffet offerings ;-)
Love this vlog! It’s making me hungry😻
Thank you so much🙏
LOVE your buffet video tours. As a Foodie, I appreciate all the details.
Thank you so much and great to hear you enjoying dining/food as well. Surprised to have found a buffet here!
That face when you ate the banana tart beautiful scenery nice place and you had company this time have a great day ❤😊
I was not expecting banana😄
That French toast looked the best. Rashad was definitely eating his $$’s worth 😂 - always a treat to get a video from you, Tim!
One of the best French toast I’ve ever had. Yes after seven plates and the mimosa, Rishad certainly got his money is worth.
A buffet in a supermarket is new and exciting! Great idea!
Good one Tim♥️‼️🙋♀️🥰☮️super enjoyed this video!!!💕🙋♀️
Thank you so much 🙏
"I am going pretty slow" 🤣I still need to find a video that you're going pretty fast! Thank you for the good review!
Certainly do take time at the buffets😋😄
What a great buffet, it’s so cool they open to the public so early in the morning, very well worth the money. The food looks great quality too 😊
It is quite nice that they open so early, the bar opens right at 8:30 as well😄
Aloha Tim! I live 13 miles from Ala Moana and I didnt know about this brunch. What a great find. Mahalo!
Thank you so much and really appreciate you reaching out! Really love Honolulu and the Oahu island. We didn’t know this place existed either until we stumbled in.😋
😊❤😊Tim, yum. The food looks good. You guys are both looking handsome. Enjoy those buffets.❤ ✌🙏🙏
Wow, I wish we had seen this video before we went to Hawaii, next time for sure we will visit this buffet
Definitely worth a visit and do your shopping there as well! It is a nice place and hope you had a great time during your last vacation
@@TimLeeLetsGo we cruised from San Pedro to Hawaii , and islands on Princess. It was amazing
@@suedonnenwirth3269 that sounds absolutely amazing! I wonder if I can work remotely on a cruise ship😉
a pleasure even just watching! May everything be well and good with you, Bonnie
Best wishes to you and yours as well Bonnie 🙂
Burrah 😳 I had no idea there was a brunch there. Pearl City only get one bar, but the food is ono. 🤙🏽🤙🏽
The buffet looked small but you showed so many items I definitely gotta check this out
Nice suprise❤Friday video
A very happy Friday to you😄
❤ I loved watching this the chance to see the foods available and with you trying them out as well. Also your so personable to include all the workers names as well
Amazing that I live practically next door to Foodland Farms and never knew about this. What a great idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm definitely going to tell my mainland friends and relatives about it. Thanks again for the education.
Who knew a buffet in a foodstore! Enjoyed your video all the food looked good, was making me hungry 😋
Thank you so much and we were surprised to find a buffet there too!
Thank you for sharing your video very informative
Fun to see some fun spots in Hawaii!
Really enjoyed Hawaii for sure. So many hidden gems everywhere.
Looks amazing!
Was really surprised to find a buffet in the supermarket. Very good food and great people.
i'm happy i've found your channel, now i got to spots you have been to because of the reviews,,, i'm from makaha and love the content
Warmest greetings to you from Vancouver! Really enjoyed the visit to Hawaii and thank you so much for reaching out
Great video ❤👍
A buffet in a supermarket? Who would've thought? It looks great. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
I know! We went in on a weekday buying some groceries for a trip and happy to have found this
Thank you ❤greetings from Chicago
🥳 Fun video looks yummy
Haha 😂 you be calling out Rashad on his rounds lol
What a wonderful buffet annd a great value. I think it's time to cash in some of my FF miles and fly to Hawaii. Thank you Tim I loved the video
One can never go wrong with a vacation to Hawaii😃
so tasty looking! and a true gentleman, as always!
Thank you so much again,Gail! All the best to you and yours
Food always looks yummy Tim, ❤️
They really did a good job and one thing I didn’t notice was the freshness of everything
Nice restaurant good food. ❤❤❤
...and it's in a supermarket! 😋
Foodland, best grocery store 💯
Food so Delicious 😋 and Hello Special Guest. ❤
Thank you so much and will pass that along to Rishad🙂
Ive never had pork belly, but it's on my list now. All the food looked outstanding. ❤
Pork belly when done right is delicious
Pork belly in the chowder was a nice add. I gotta give that a try.
What a lovely laid back buffet..tysm for taking us with you...the big surprise was you taking seconds on the broccolini 😂
That was probably the most foods and veggies I’ve had at a buffet. It is a very laid-back area but so is all of Hawaii. On a sidenote, the bar was fully operational and busy at around 9 AM.😉
Didn't know about this, but it's now on the list. Going to try that pork belly in clam chowder!
I love watching your videos Tim. I didn’t know that you weren’t crazy about bananas! You made me laugh when you tasted the tart. Your facial expression was priceless. Right before I watched the video I shared a banana with my sweet dog. She loves bananas. Lol. Never been to Hawaii but it looks absolutely gorgeous! 💙💙
Thank you so much for reaching out… Yeah, bananas aren’t my favourite🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo You’re welcome!😊
Yum 😋 😋 😋
🙏
You are so very positive....👍👍👍
What’s not to like a Buffet?!😉🙂
Welcome back to Hawaii!
Thank you so much 🙏. Really grateful to be able to visit
Wow theres now a buffet at my neighborhood foodland! I just know it now! I bet u after this people rush crowded that place thnks to ur blog!
Thank You Tim. You know who I am =: ) Love You!
Thank you so much again! All the best to you
Buffet is a nice little hidden gem. Tim, your friend is putting you to shame. Way ahead. I know you were filming. The banana face was great - ha, ha!! Happy travels! Hello from a very sunny Oregon.
Rishad did 7 plates in the end🤦♂️😀
LOL at the banana bite! And cleansing the palette with A decadent Apple pastry
Lol, banana aren’t my favourite😉
Great price for a buffet wide variety. Should try it.
Thanks! We're going!
thats a nice gift, and very nice of you. he is a special guy for sure. love watching his vids.
Thank you so much Brad🙏. Very generous of you and thank you so much. I hope you get a chance to visit. It’s quite a nice experience😃
@@TimLeeLetsGo Took my family yesterday and they enjoyed it. Appreciate your content.
Poke are delicious ❤
😋
Great 👍
Travellife javad gee
Tim you're such a polite person. I would've ask to sit elsewhere, and if not, I would've left.
It was a nice area, and Elizabeth kept us company with all the drinks😄
Great find! looking forward to eating there the next time we are down there. Not sure if your still in Hawaii but can you do a review of the Liliha Bakery?
Unfortunately, there is a bit of a lag between the visit and when the videos are posted. However, really appreciate your recommendation and just adding this to the list.
I've seen the sign for the buffet at the bar during the week, and thought it was there. So glad to see your video on it. For $35.00 for a buffet in Honolulu that is the best deal in Honolulu, most are now about 60 some dollars per person. The food looks great and good quality.
It’s probably got the freshest items I’ve ever ever had. Great fruits and veggies and seafood. It is quite a good deal, especially including the mimosa.
The new Malama Market in Pahoa on Big Island has a very impressive cooked food selection and a wine and beer bar!!
Just got back to the mainland after 6 months on Oahu. We did do the poke at Foodland 1 or 2 times a week. Probably the best deal on the island and really good. We would just buy a pound of it instead of the bowl with rice. We had a rice cooker at our place. You get about twice as much poke for the price if you do the rice yourself.
I don't have a sweet tooth so love your selections. Goat cheese...mmmmmm
The pork belly on the chowder was an absolute pro move!
Thank you🙏😉
Omg it would drive me insane being behind him in a buffet line. He goes in obnoxiously slow motion when picking out his food, lol.
trolls, you people are so funny! 😂
Get your own buffet then😂
You always give very good reviews. You take us to the table and taste the food. Gracious, kind, positive. Looking forward to the next review.
Thank you so much ❤️
Hi @Tim Lee! This is OGW! I told you, I subscribed to your channel already. I'm the one you met at the skytrain.
Thank you so much and my apologies as that was my stop. Thank you so much.
@@TimLeeLetsGo No worries! I'm a fan of your channel! Nice contents! 👋👍😍
Ive lived on this island for years and never knew they had a buffet in foodland!
Being Foodland chain of supermarkets is wholly Hawaii run corporation, there's 3-4 Foodland Farms on Oahu. Foodland was started 1948 @Market City, approx.
Really impressed with the quality of food and the people there!
BUFFET? ITS CALLED THE DELI COUNTER ... OUR STORE IN HAWAI'I ... WE HAVE A FULL BAR! GIDDY UP, BIG BOY!
❤❤❤
❤️
Good video
Thank you 🙏
I had no idea that there was such a thing as a buffet in a grocery store, but I have had the poke at the normal Foodland, and it was delicious and made for a fantastic picnic!
Really impressed by foodland and their king crab poke was really good too! It was a surprise to find a buffet there...
@@TimLeeLetsGo Thank you for exploring for all of us! Much obliged!!
Hi Tim ....you are so funny with the face you made after eating that banana-chocolate tart 🤢
Yeah, banana wasn’t my favorite, but I certainly wasn’t expecting it either😃
You should try the Okinawan Haupia crunch. It's super good!
Thank you so much! Noting this down and will need to give this a try
Chunky, soupy clam chowder!
That looks like a good deal for the quality unlike some of the less expensive buffets that you have visited.
Agreed! $35 for the buffet and the drinks, including a mimosa is quite the deal. Everything is very fresh and high-quality.😋
Foodland is the beas, all over the islands.
The Kea'au, Big Island location is my fave.
🙏 really enjoyed the selection there. We actually got a chance to visit the big island this time😃
Thanks for sharing, but I need more bang.
wow nice video making
Thank you so much🙏
Wasn't there anything with shrimp? And what did you determine the fish was?
You know, that’s right! There were no shrimp🤔
It's hilarious... it's your ying/yang... banana/potatoes. LOL.
Lol, a love hate thing
People don’t care about the average items, focus should be on what’s the difference and value items 😂
Is this buffet all day or just breakfast items? Looks yum, got to try it when in Oahu. Thanks
It’s only from 8:30 AM to 1:30 PM I believe. The details in the video description and hope you get a chance to visit.
Buffet looked great! I was wondering if you liked the chicken?
It's a nice find. The chicken was pretty good and standard... The chowder and the steaks were very good!
Dunno about other Foodland Farms but the supermarket side, at this specific location anyway, has self-serve grab & go breakfast, different from this sit down. Pretty convenient for Ala Moana employees, in particular & Early risers/Dawn patrollers....
Nice to know!
To each their home 🤗🙏
l love Chowder!
