Absolutely love this mall! Why? Friendly staff everywhere I go-- helpful to find items, check out, offer chopsticks/forks for dining on site, directions around the mall (it is HUGE!) Many things to do, see, buy: -- Wide variety of options for shopping -- designers (LV, Dior, etc), shoes stores ,Target ... honestly too many to name! -- Hula shows daily Many things to eat: -- Food Court -- BEST MALL FOOD I'VE EVER HAD! LOVE Jollibee LOVE Poi Bowl (especially the squid luau and tripe stew) -- Grocery stores with amazing food selections (Foodland, Nijiya Market). * Foodland is my GO TO when I want variety in one place at an affordable price -- pizza , sushi , bakery, hot buffet by the pound, and poke by the pound to name a few! * There's restaurants inside with brunch and happy hours. * Coffee and tart options for buying and bringing home. * SIGN UP for the Maka'i rewards because it adds up and you can get free reusable bags, % discounts and $ rewards! See my separate review for more photos. * Nijiya Market is also a regular spot for finding high quality sushi and unusual items I don't find back home (see my separate review for more photos). read more

This is a great shopping experience in Honolulu and is a short walk from Waikiki hotels. We walked there from the Hilton in about 10 minutes. It's a little tricky to get into the mall from the street as you have to walk into the garage and there are few signs directing you to escalators that take you up to the shopping areas. The mall is open air, so you might need to spend time inside some stores to cool off at times. Signage is actually surprisingly poor, and it was legitimately challenging to find specific stores at times. They have static printed directories in a few places, but some stores are actually located below in the garage area which was quite confusing. They also do not have mall concierge desks or other staffed counters to help with directions. They do have a large variety of stores here including upscale and designer options and our favorite Psycho Bunny. They have a variety of dining options as well from full restaurants to food court options. This is overall a pleasant place to spend a few hours shopping in Honolulu. read more

As Oahu's largest shopping mall, Ala Moana Center has always been a place to meet up with friends and family for decades. I actually stopped here that often, years ago, because it started getting a bit too "busy", especially with all the confusing store locations, accessing different split levels, parking areas, and just the overall "halfhazard" nature of the expansion. This all changed when my granddaughter started walking, because it's still a great place to let toddlers run around to explore, and of all the new dining spots to go to. They do have their ongoing issues with maintenance, especially the elevators, escalators, and the issue with water during rainy days like today. I don't remember a time when everything was working, and there wasn't at least one escalator or elevator out of service. Still, it's the place to go for locals and tourists. I love that they still have entertainment happening at Center Stage (even though it's facing the opposite direction from the original), and new generations can start building their own memories, although remembering where I parked is more difficult with all the new levels, lol. read more

Love all of the stores to shop at. Love the open air scenery. Nice selection of food vendors as well.

What's not to lava? At 2,270,186 square feet, Ala Moana is thee largest open-air shopping center in the world! What makes it a five-star mall is the free parking, 95% occupancy, million dollar art installations (including a Yayoi Kusama pumpkin), koi ponds, comfy seating area outside the bathrooms, the biggest food court I've ever seen, and a centerstage giving 800 performances a year. Because of its iconic mid-century modern architecture and lush tropical landscaping, Ala Moana has been a frequent backdrop for Hollywood, including both the original and reboots of Hawaii Five-O and Magnum PI, plus White Lotus and LOST. Scenes include Hurley eating three pizzas, multiple close-ups of eyeballs, and Jin mistaking the cat cafe for the food court. Just kidding: just flashbacks of Jin in the Shirojiya store, posing as South Korea (S1:E17). Elvis even appeared there shortly after its 1959 opening. He didn't sing, but if he did, an appropriate mall playlist could have included: Don't Be Kohl's, All Shake Shack Up, (Let Me Be Your) Build-a-Bear, Heartbreak Hot-topic, and A Little Less Conversation (A Little More Gamestop). read more

Biggest mall on Oahu yet they can't afford to fix the escalators and elevators. Back then I never thought much of it but now with a baby, not really accessible for people with strollers nor is it accessible for people with wheelchairs. We tried looking for an elevator but the one that went to the bottom floor was down. We then decided to just use the escalator even though it is not the safest and the escalator wasn't working as well. Mind you, this has been the case for well over a year... it was down way before our daughter was born and she is now 6 months. I don't know, maybe the Ala Moana owners has a problem with babies and wheelchairs cause why is it taking soo long for them to fix it. read more

This shopping center has it all! There's plenty of food options, many different types of clothing stores, jewelry, activities, and more. What I love the most is how outdoors it is. Even though it is 3-4 stories, it still has trees, water features, grass, plants and more with no ceiling so that it's very organic and natural. There's plenty of free parking which is rare around here from what I can tell. Their bathrooms are scattered around. There are some homeless people who walk around asking for things. Overall it's a really fun atmosphere and a great time to walk around. read more

Ala Moana holds a special place in my memories. As a prior reviewer wrote, I also took the bus to the center when I was a child. It has kept up with the times. They have a great selection of stores. Where else can you buy a designer bag, then go to Longs and get some li hing mango? There are many dining options and entertainment too. read more

Nice mall near Waikiki that we almost always visit when in town. The mall is huge so we often get lost or at least turned around trying to find places. Love that they have free parking in every lot and garage; just don't forget where you parked! Our favorite spots here include the humongous food court, Target, and Foodland. They also have a free hula show daily at 5 pm in the center stage area of the mall. read more

Ala Moana is the largest open-air mall in the world and it does meet the standards. It's a really gorgeous four-story mall that goes around in a circle, making it ideal when shopping around. In the middle of May and during the day, it was not busy at all. We felt like we were one of the few people there which made it really peaceful to walk around and explore. So many different stores to shop at in combination with really retail stores and luxury. They have a Yayoi Kusama art installation - very cool. We also happened to stumble upon a high school orchestral quartet! read more

I'm surprised I haven't already reviewed this place when I've frequented this center most times I've been here in Hawaii. We usually come here because there's a lot of stores we like to enjoy here such as: Dave & Busters, Uniqlo, Foodland, Cat Cafe MOFF, Yeti, etc. just to name a few. They also have a wide variety of food options in the food court as well, so it's nice to meet up with friends and family who have different tastes in food and eat together. This is not our first time here and won't be our last. read more

Ala Moana Shopping Center is definitely showing its age and mall management needs to make improvements immediately. In particularly the escalators. My wife and I walk and shop there every week and there's not a day that goes by that we see more than one escalator down and under repair. The elevator on the second floor that leads to the street parking next to Macy's also needs constant maintenance and when it's in working order it is so slow moving between floors. And the smell of sewage coming from the street level on the Macy's side of the mall is unbearable. When it rains the sewage flows out and onto the street between Atkinson Street and Ala Moana Blvd. This has been an ongoing problem for years and it seems to be getting worse every year. read more

If Valley Fair took a tropical vacation, it'd look a lot like Ala Moana Center. This outdoor mall is clean, vibrant, and full of island charm with palm trees, ocean breezes, and a great mix of shops. You've got everything from Nordstrom and Macy's to Ross, Old Navy, Coach, Target, Foodland, and yes, an ABC Store. There's something for everyone, whether you're after high-end or budget finds. The food court is massive, with local and international favorites. Jamba Juice, Raising Cane's, Happy Lemon, Jollibee, Sbarro, and a wide range of Asian eats make it a foodie paradise. One of my favorite places to explore in Honolulu. Great for shopping, snacking, and soaking up the vibe. read more

This problem with the homeless at the mall needs to be addressed immediately. They continue to hang out behind the mall by Nordstrom (Piikoi Street) and by Foodland. The mess they leave behind is an issue because the mall maintenance workers don't clean up after the homeless. The smell of urine in that is very bad. Mall security needs to patrol the area more and ask the homeless people to leave the premises. read more

This is one massive outdoor mall. Located at 1450 Ala Moana Blvd, you could literally get lost without even trying. The good news for the directionally challenged, like myself, is even if you're trying to find your way back to your starting point, you will likely stumble upon a shop that you weren't looking for but interests you enough to walk right in. They do have plenty of high end shops if that is your thing also. Food shops are strewn throughout the three floors. Being an outdoor mall of this size has its benefits but the one drawback is weather can put a damper on your shop till you drop outing. Parking seems plentiful and there are easy rideshare pickup and drop off spots. read more

I'd like to make a complaint than a review. It is very annoying that we have normalized people into walking their dogs around the mall that they have become negligent in being mindful that other people share the space with them. I've seen several dog owners let their dog defecate on the mall grounds and walk away not doing anything to clean up after their dog. I have seen them let their dog shit in front of stores and the food court and they do not seem to care that someone may step on it. Then a minute later, oblivious people walking by DO step on it unknowingly. The mall needs better enforcement because this is unacceptable and quite unsanitary. I am not a confrontational person to confront these irresponsible dog owners, but as a dog owner myself, DO BETTER. The mall is NOT a dog park. read more

I have been here so many times over the years, it's finally time a drop some love for the Ala Moana Center. I always visit when here I'm in the Waikiki area, which is about a 10 minute drive to get here. This mall is massive and has pretty much all of the designer, high end shops and useful shops you may be looking for. You can get your steps in by just browsing from store to store and level to level. Like I said, this place is huge and you could spend most all day here, of course if you're a shopper like me. I like how it is outdoors but also has plenty of shaded areas. It can get hot here. Generally, the mall is well kept up and clean all around. This is a no brainer to recommend first if you're looking to do some shopping, all in one mall. read more

This is my favorite center to go to in Waikiki. the Foodland Farms is exceptional and the bext place to get your poke and all other snacks and meals before hitting the beach and streets of Waikiki. I love going to other restaurants including Liliha Bakery and Signature for happy hour. Especially Wednesday happy hour with the piano guy. Marshalls is fun although Ross is now my favorite go-to for Hawaii themed items before i go back home read more

Although this location is walking distance, amd the first time we used it, we will spend our hard-earned $$$ at the University location instead. It is no accident there was NO LINE at dinner time on a Wednesday night, the community must already be aware the Gen whateverZ have absolutely no customer service or common sense when handling online ordering, preparation and presentation of orders. My 12 year old had online order number on her phone, two (2) standard boxes with two (2) 24 oz drinks, " to go." How do YOU think this order should be packaged? Well, I instructed my daughter to grab the order as I went to the lavatory and I would meet her at a nearby table. As I approached the counter, I saw her ask for a drink holder. And then I saw her attempt to stack the boxes atop the other!!! Wth???? Hold up, Baby Girl??!!! "XqquuuZzee mee?? Please may she have a bag???" My child says, " I got it!" " I'm sure you do. Wejust spent $30 here on 2 meals and you are here alone. The least they can do is offer you a drink carrier and food carrier!" The counter clerk gives me the bag, I say TY, pack it, and turn to leave. Another staff says something to that clerk, who then turns to me," what name is the order under?" I give them my name. And walk away. In most work situations, these are training issues, and I have great compassion for ignorance. However, upon observation the patron appeared to be struggling with gathering and collecting the order in their possession therefore the transaction has not been completed yet. My daughter is my bias. Don't mess with MamaZ Baby!!! read more

Lots of variety shops. Great atmosphere. Good selection of food court and great restaurants. Did some shopping with the wife at Macy's and came away with some great savings. I saved $100, my wife $250. Caught the pink line back to the hotel (only $6 per person. Had a little difficulty because you must download the app and pay and the person checks for the confirmation from your email. We missed the first bus because we had issues downloading). read more

Ala Moana mall, an easy bus ride or a leisurely walk. Mid connections for vacation trolleys and transportations. Mall would be a perfect 10 if they would restructure the parking lot. Ala Moana mall is open-air, tropical designed that merges modern architecture with koi ponds, and a window to the many high-end shops. 2 food courts, the one on the 2nd floor near Macy's seems slightly less crowded. I enjoyed the onsite live music, which highlights talented young performers. I recently caught "LoveJack", who played his cello. His booming, heartfelt music, vocals truly warmed the atmosphere. read more
