Great owner Reynolds, good prices and great service been using this Pawn store for many years, honesty is the key word and great Jewlery

Came to Drs appt from Maui and stopped in this place. Sam and the other gentleman were fantastic! I will do business with them in the future. I felt they are upfront and honest. read more

Professional, courteous, and gave me a great deal. Highly recommend for selling any old guitars, jewelry, or gaming consoles.

I brought a gold necklace to be repaired. The 14k necklace needed a tiny link added. Previously a repair was done by a local jeweler. Sadly instead of adding a link they chose to do a clump solder. Ala Moana actually added a link which looked way more professional probably involved a highly skilled goldsmith. Moreover service was outstanding and it cost me $20 which included a small amount of gold. They are really "nice" and excellent in delivering. I definitely recommend them if you are needing a repair. Thank you Rey and 2 guys who are in the store. read more

This was my first experience pawning anything in my life. I was surprised at how easygoing, friendly, and helpful the staff was in securing my pawn loan. I felt they treated me fairly and honestly. They even allowed me some wiggle room and didn't sell my stuff when I foolishly forgot the deadline! Five stars all the way! read more

Ray is knowledgeable and gives great deals. He got lots of other things, but you gotta ask for it. read more

See all

WoW! So glad I found them. Like another reviewer said, her husband drove by the shop every day! I too would drive by it a couple times a week. I finally went in when I saw the sign in the window that said "Jewelry Repair". I had been looking for a jewelry repair place here in Honolulu, ever since I moved here from the North Shore. Not only is their work excellent, but their prices are excellent! Have a large selection of jewelry for sale. I was always told by my dad, that the best place to buy gold jewelry is at a pawn shop. Don't pass them up. Oh and they have a great knowledge of gold, white gold and silver. Real cool place! read more

Ala Moana Pawn Shop provided excellent customer service from the moment I walked into the shop. The associates were very knowledgeable providing me with up to date information on the cost of gold and silver which helped me tremendously. I was impressed with the assortment of items that they carried which made it easy for me to compare pricing and the return that I would get for the items I wanted to sell. Aloha Pawn Shop will provide you with honest and straight forward information. They will tell you straight up what the value of your item is and how much to expect. Don't let the gruff persona intimidate you. They are certainly there to help and give you the best deal possible. Thank you Reynold for helping me! read more

This place of business was very comfortable and very trustworthy.they do have a wide variety of items you could buy and they price the items you're trying to sell very decent.id definitely return and would recommend to any one looking for an honest pawn shop in town.their customer service is top notch and they're very knowledgeable 12/10 recommendation read more

Ladies (and gentlemen), don't overlook this establishment if you're looking for beautiful gold (or silver) jewelry without the store mark up. Ray will help you if he's got the ring you're looking for or if he can make it for you. The folks here are very friendly, courteous, and helpful. read more

When in need this is place indeed, straight up and honest blokes , no bs at all, so good to see old fashion customer care, Thank you gentlemen. read more

The business has a small store front and floor space but do not let that deter you. We came in looking to buy a plumeria pendant and necklace for our niece. I had called ahead because I was through with driving from shop to shop, which were either closed or excessively priced, and not the way I wanted to go about vacationing. I am not new to pawn shops and Googled most locations within a 2-mile radius. The reviews are solid and accurately describe the friendliness of the owner. The other gentlemen were equally welcoming and polite. I am a no nonsense type of person when it comes to cash sells. The market value of gold proposed was fair with enough of a bargain for everyone to feel they walked away with something. I highly recommend Ala Moana Pawn Shop. I prefer to shop locally and would rather this family have my business before the shopping center up the street. Parking as you can imagine is very limited. We parked at the Kapiolani Parking at $3 per hour, which is half a block away. We were in and out within 20 minutes based on friendliness, value, and the accuracy of item availability. read more

Ala Moana Pawn Shop - Kapiolani Parking. Park here and save yourself the trouble of driving around. $3/hr is a bargain! - Jewelry Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Owner and workers are very nice always have what your looking for great prices for buying and loans highly recommend

I've been to a lot of pawn shops and second-hand stores. No places offer a better rate and fair value than this place on gold, silver, and other high-quality goods. It is located on the corner of Piikoi and Kapiolani next to El Burrito. Other places will try to maximize their bottom line, but this place cares about the customer getting the best offer they can receive. read more

So many positive reviews on this place. My experience was super positive as well until today. Rey called me to ask about jewelry I pawned back in May. Up until October, I paid to continue my extension because I couldn't buy back the entire set. I returned a call for a message I received last week. I was told the message would be left for Rey. From what his workers and reviews mentioned about him, he was an easy going person who wanted to work with the customers. All I got from him today was "you're very past due", "what do you plan to do", and "if you don't make a payment, we're going to melt your items". I assumed I had forfeited my items already when I did not make an extension payment in November. I appreciate that I guess he was giving me another chance but he was abrupt and rather rude about it. I told him I'm not sure if I can even afford the extension and won't know until Tuesday, and his reply was "See you on Tuesday." I can agree the workers I encountered in person and on the phone were absolutely pleasant. I cannot say the same of Rey, which is unfortunate because they made him seem like he wants to work with and help the customers. That was definitely not the vibe I got from my conversation with him today. I am grateful he called to offer me to continue my extension, but the rude tone and shortness wasn't necessary at all and very much not appreciated. You do what you need to do with my jewelry. That's the nature of your business and I respect that. The three stars are because of the workers there. read more

Shipped my daughter's Hawaiian bracelet to Reynold's shop from Vegas to get it resized bigger and he did an AMAZING Job, cannot even see the join and on top of that he has the best price on Oahu and Vegas. Mahalos Reynold! read more

I was looking for a MacBook last minute to gift to my boyfriend who really needed one. I came across Eric who was really nice and had this one for sale. Very reasonable price and good quality product. Service went smooth and well. I would definitely be going back again when I need to find something else. read more

January of 2020 we were experiencing a financial hardship. My Son was reviewing the best Pawn shops in Honolulu and Ala Moana Pawn Shop had the best reviews *****. The day we decided to go to Ala Moana Pawn Shop it was closed. We visited 2 other shops, but we were not comfortable with their Business Moto. So on another day we headed to Ala Moana Pawn Shop. We met the staff and the Owner. They were friendly, knowledgeable and the business practice is with integrity and understanding hardships happen. The Owner works with the Customer. We have been so grateful that we placed a our valuables with Ala Moana Pawn Shop. This place is a small shop but with a Big Heart read more

Located next to El Burrito Mexican restaurant on the corner of Kapiolani and Piikoi and close to Ichiriki, you'll find a great resource for buying and selling jewelry, coins, investment metals and short-term loans. I don't refer people to any other pawnbroker because I've found many of them to be disreputable or underhanded. The owner is very knowledgable about fine jewelry and is an expert on high end timepieces and precious gems, always helpful and informative, helping educate their clients about their items, which is unusual for consignment and pawn shops. Fair rates for secured loans and always willing to work with their customers to make sure they can recover their items, other places will be quick to resell any valuable items with no consideration for the client. read more

Incredibly tiny, hole-in-the-wall store, but the two men working were very friendly, knowledgeable and straightforward! *Tip: push hard on the door, I laughed at myself because I couldn't open it correctly. Although what I was looking for wasn't in stock, I'm happy I checked this place out. The heat that day was immaculate, so thank you for the cool AC. If you're gunna go in quickly, park in the nearby alleyway parking lot near Ichiriki. read more

Love these guys- there's been a few times I've needed to pawn my MacBook Pro for extra cash and they always work with me. They are not only professional but also fun to talk story with. I look forward to seeing them again this week when I go pick up my laptop!! Thanks for always helping me out, Ala Moana Pawn!! read more

At one time or another you will need money,This place is the only place you can TRUST, what ever it maybe talk to Reynolds or the Two Gentlemens that works there and they will make SURE Your JEWELRY gets back to you Its a WIN WIN SITUATION, THANK YOU GUYS FOR LETTING ME SLEEP AT NIGHT!!! read more

I pawned some jewelry in 2002 at Ala Moana Pawn Shop. Over the years I had to leave the island because of medical conditions. I recently returned to the islands, and reached out to them 19 years later on the off chance that my jewelry would still be there. I knew it was a long shot, but AMAZINGLY they still had my jewelry after 19 years! I couldn't believe that any pawn shop would hold someone's belongings that long. Not only did they have my irreplaceable jewelry, but the gentleman helping me was able to give me a deal on all the back interest I owed. NO OTHER PAWN SHOP in Hawaii provides that kind of service and care to their customers. I hope I won't ever be in that position again where I would need to pawn my jewelry, but if I do, I won't hesitate at all to go back to Ala Moana Pawn Shop! read more

What fun! I felt like a little girl playing dress up as I tried on beautiful rings. The staff were very gracious and most welcoming. I walked away with four gorgeous rings that fit perfectly at a generous value. Bring cash! read more

This Buy &sell / Alamoana pawn shop and I have done business for a very long time. They know me well! Life is not easy here in Honolulu and I have gone to them many times because being a single parent I had to be resourceful. And honestly sometimes I go into debts with daily expenses..A LOT!!! I trust them !!! Even if at the risk of harsher times they always assure me that my Jewelry are all safe with them as I make effort to extend and they help me so I can get my sentimental pieces back on my and I recommend them with my mind & soul... read more

I wouldn't take my jewelry anywhere else! Reynold and the guys there are awesome and have always taken care of me!

From the very first time I came here they were "AWSOME" and till this day they're still "AWSOME"!!! The workers there are very polite and helpful in every and any way they could possibly be! And I've been to practically every pawn shop on the leeward side. They always give me more than any other pawn shop would give for what I bring in. And even when it's past the forfeit due date for a loan, they'll make exceptions, just as long I call and explain why I couldn't come in at the time and they'll give me a little more time. I love coming here and this is the only pawn shop I'd do business with jus because of the way they are! I highly recommend anyone that wants or needs to pawn or loan to go see them! You'll be satisfied every time, guaranteed!!! read more

Should be zero stars, bought a small hand tool just $4 less than new at WM. First pawn shop I've ever seen that wouldn't negotiate, so rude he started walking away. I left and came back just because I didn't want to fight the crowd at WM. Avoid Ala Moana Pawn!!! read more

Best pawn shop in hawaii!! Excellent customer service...only place to be when you want to pawn things and buy things .. Great prices!!

they are honest，courteous and extremely fair with the prices. Been to many other pawn shops in the area，by far this is the best shop

Long layover in Hono on my way home and needed a gold piece. Came by the shop and the jewelry guy wasn't there so I chalked it up as a loss. After walking round and round ala moana center looking at all the overpriced gold I went back and met Reynold. He was very kind and helpful and I ended up purchasing a nice solid gold chain. I was a little sketchy at first but there was a nice lady in there doing her transaction that was speaking highly of the shop and was chat chat with Reynold about her kid and that gave me a good vibe that the guy was good people! read more

I recently pawned some luxury jewelry at this shop. The owner was understanding, fair, provided good service, and responsibly took care of my items. When presented with a Rolex watch, they knew exactly where to look for the serial numbers, and when presented with diamonds, they knew how to evaluate and appraise the gems. I would buy, sell, and pawn with them again. read more

Don't like pawn shops period,100% of them are out to make money on the average persons misfortune. KEEP IN MIND when you are doing a "pawn" you are getting cash that you will have to pay back PLUS 20% MORE. So if you pawned a ring for $500.00 you will HAVE to pay back $600.00 with in the 30 days. You can see how easy it is to get in trouble if you can't come up with the hole amount. You just keep paying the $100.00 finance fee (A MONTH) to keep your stuff safe until you get a break. ALL PAWN SHOPS WORK THIS WAY SO JUST A HEADS UP TO THE AVERAGE PERSON. I give this pawn shop 5 stars as compared to what is out there. I went to the "gold guys" to sell some items but wanted to get it appraised. I went around the corner just to see the difference at Ala moana pawn. Ala moana pawns prices were better than the fancy Gold guys and The wedding ring shop. I would say Ala Moana Pawn is honest and all there fees are up front. one of the few that can be trusted! read more

i wish there was a lower rating than one star...these guys are a rip off and their attitude towards customers is terrible. when asking about items in the shop the owners were very ambiguous and never answered my questions and then slammed the door in my face when they determined "they had enough"...AVOID DOING BUSINESS with these guys if possible. read more
