Hawaii Banchan Company in Honolulu is a Korean specialty grocery and banchan shop offering a curated selection of imported Korean foods and side dishes. The market focuses on authentic Korean products — including a variety of kimchi, banchan (Korean side dishes), snacks, and pantry staples — many of which are imported and flown in from South Korea on a regular basis.
Inside the shop, refrigerated cases display an assortment of traditional banchan and kimchi varieties, alongside frozen Korean items and packaged snacks not commonly found in larger supermarkets on Oʻahu. Some products — such as perilla oil, honey from Jeju Island, and specialty kimchi brands popular in Korea — highlight the store’s focus on niche and high-quality imports.
The store’s size and layout offer a boutique-style shopping experience, with clean aisles and clearly labeled items, making it easy for visitors to browse and discover unique Korean food products.
