A Taste of the Philippines in the Heart of Kona

Tucked away for locals who crave the distinct, comforting flavors of home, Bahay Kubo Asian Store serves as a vital hub for Filipino ingredients and prepared snacks in Kailua-Kona. Unlike standard grocery aisles, this shop specializes in the staples that define Filipino cuisine. You will find the shelves stocked with everything from imported banana ketchup and cane vinegar to bags of freshly sourced lumpia wrappers.

The Sensory Experience

Stepping inside, you are greeted by the sharp, familiar scent of dried fish and the sight of colorful snack packs that trigger instant nostalgia for anyone familiar with island living in the Philippines. It is a no-frills, utilitarian space where the focus remains entirely on the quality of goods. Keep in mind that the aisles are compact and intimate, so you might need to navigate carefully if the store is busy with fellow shoppers hunting for their favorite pantry essentials.

What to Expect

This isn't your average market; it is a community anchor for those looking to recreate traditional dishes like chicken adobo or pancit at home. Beyond the dry goods, look for the rotating selection of house-made Filipino delicacies that often sell out quickly. It is an ideal stop for residents and visitors alike who want to move beyond typical tourist fare and dive into the deep, savory, and sweet profiles that make Filipino food unique. Whether you are searching for a specific spice blend or just a quick fix of ube-flavored treats, this shop provides the authentic inventory necessary for an honest meal in Hawaii.

Small specialty shop with food goods, novelty items, and shipping options to Philippines. Excellent ube shakes and other halo-halo goodies.

This place is horrible. My mom wanted to buy jasmine rice so she went here and took me with her. She bought a 10-pound jasmine rice for $16, along with peanut oil for $6. As soon as we got to our hotel, many little insects were found inside the bag and started crawling in and out. They spread around the kitchen area crazily. They were all over the place. My mom had to kill all of them which took about 20 minutes. They were all over the walls, the counter, and almost contaminating the food. It was such a waste of $16 and of our time.

Not bad,they had mostly what I needed to get. The only problem is 95% of their products in their store are no price tags,so you don't actually know how much the item until you go to the cashier, pay and check out your receipt. Mostly the items I bought were 4 times as much as the other store. 50% of their products sells it at walmart and it's 4 times the price way cheaper,I didn'tknow they carry those products at walmart until Isaw it with my own eyes and see their prices on same products I bought and I was shocked they ripped me off.I suggests they better lower their price or other customer like me will never go back their again.
