Marukai
March 9th, 1999
Marukai is a store similar to Mitsuwa.  I'm not sure if they are also a chain.   As for food they have more selection than the Costa Mesa Mitsuwa and they have better prices.  They require a $10 membership but generally you'll save more than $10 over Mitsuwa on your first trip.

They also have some Hawaiian foods although they are all frozen.  They have pork, chicken and fish lau-laus and they have kalua pork and kalua chicken as well as some poke mix and laup-chong (a sweet sausage that Hawaiians like especially in fried rice)

Directions: Take the 91 Fwy west until it ends just past the 110.  It becomes Artisia Blvd.  Keep going west on Artisia to Western.  Make a U-Turn then turn right into Marukai.  OR,  Take 405 and exit on Artisia East or Western North.  Marukai is at the corner of Western and Artisia.  Note: don't mistake the Marukai 99 cent store that's about a mile east of Western.

I've been told there is now a Marukai in Orange County too.

Marukai should have guarantee price
Today, I went to Marukai and bought "Ripovitan 6pack" for $6.49. Then I went to Mitsuwa, the price was $4.99. I was very disappointed about difference of price. If I can find things cheaper than Marukai, they shouldn't charge membership fee or they should have a money back guarantee.

some corrections

artisia -- artesia

there are at least five other marukai stores in california alone, it is a chain

there is an extremely large selection of non-frozen hawaiian foods such as cookies, macadamia nuts, candy, bread etc.  if one even thinks about it, any other kind of food from hawaii would go bad if not frozen
