Is He'eia Kea Pier General Store and Deli Still Open? (Kaneohe, HI)

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Season 15, Episode 1 Aired August 5, 2012

On the August 2012 Unconventional Comforts episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, Guy Fieri visited this pier-side general store and deli in Kaneohe for its plate lunches and deli sandwiches, made to order for boaters and beachgoers passing through. The store has operated at the end of He'eia Kea Pier on Kaneohe Bay for more than three decades, combining a small grocery counter with a hot-food deli line. Its bayfront location, with views of the Koolau mountains, has made it a landmark stop for the Windward Oahu community.

Yelp's listing for the store was updated as recently as July 2026 and carries no permanently-closed flag, and current business directories list daily hours of 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., consistent with ongoing operation. No closure or ownership change has been reported for the business.

Food Paradise, Season 14, Episode 2

Food Paradise's episode "Aloha, Hawaii" (S14E2) featured He'eia Kea Pier General Store & Deli, a small deli at the end of the He'eia Kea pier on Kaneohe Bay, Oahu. According to Food Network's restaurant profile, the deli has been run by chef Mark Noguchi and is known for plate lunches such as guava chicken and a signature luau stew, along with poke bowls and a catch-of-the-day plate sourced from local fishermen. This record was initially flagged in the research batch as a possible non-food pier attraction, but Food Network's own restaurant listing and a Yelp page updated in July 2026, describing it as a longstanding Windward Oahu deli, both confirm it as an operating food business rather than a standalone venue. No closure, relocation, or ownership change was found during this check.
