The recommended replacement for the now closed Beretania store. The Ala Moana store is smaller, with less selection, and for a Sunday morning not as prepared as Beretania used to be or Market City was this morning. They honor the sale prices in the ads but for other regular items prices are higher. I guess it goes with the pricey mall rent that they have to pay for them somehow.

At 8 am there was no poke or pork rinds ready and the salt and vinegar wings looked like they were soggy and leftover from the previous day. Left there and went to Market City and the seafood case was fully stocked with multiple varieties of poke, there were 3 flavors of pork rinds packaged and ready for purchase, and fresh salt and vinegar wings ready for purchase at 8:25 am when I walked into the Market City store.

Parking at Ala Moana is typically bad. If you park in front of the store you will be unable to easily head back to the mauka side of the mall afterwards. If you park on makai side you must cross 4 lanes of traffic to get to the store. Because of the congestion on the street level I think it's easier to park on the mall level and walk down and then back then deal with the craziness down there.
