It's located at Ualena street and close to Lagoon Drive! Sign up and your card will be ready when the next time you visit again.

They probably have all the design and sizes. Most places only carry the medium size as it's their most popular. Here they have it in small, medium and large. I couldn't help myself and had to get one. I got the medium Sushi Crew bag $18. Service was ok. The cashier was nice. The sales guy working the floor seemed irritated when I asked him to help me locate the bag.

Shopping in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I didn't know why my friend wanted to go shopping here. I try to avoid Simply Home (at Kahala Mall) because there are cute things at the front of the store... luring me in... I tell myself I don't NEED more stuff... However... The merchandise in this store is useful. Dish towels, tote bags, shower curtains, hooks, pet supplies, kitchen gadgets, trivets, and charging cords are some of the items in stock. I even saw a bunny toothbrush holder and a panda hand sanitizer... so cute! I will return to get gifts - especially for mainland friends. Some of the designs have Aloha themes like local grinds... such as okazuya, pineapples, and laulau! Service is very friendly and positive! There was a young man who was sincere about wanting to help me find whatever I was looking for! Thank you! Anyway... it turned out that my friend wanted to get me a Bowl Hugger. It's like a potholder that goes around your bowl when you place it in your microwave, so you can protect your hands from the hot bowl when it comes out from the microwave! Clever, thoughtful gift, right?

They only had a few selection of the things I came in for but ended up getting other things that I forgot I needed as well. Some things didn't have a price label which I felt was inconsistent through out the store... but it's fine. The cashier was friendly and even gave me 10% off my first purchase! Overall a nice warehouse of things for your restaurant business!

I was just counseling browsing the store and saw these vacuum pump that caught my interest. The salesperson is very friendly and nice. Explained to me about how the product work, he also suggest several discount packages if I'm interesting to purchase, at the end, he recommended a full set of vacuum product that is 50% off the retail price which is hard for me to ignore, so I purchased this 32 pieces vacuum set. I'm still in the process of trying now this product but so far so good. If you're interesting in purchasing kitchenware, knifes and accessory, this is a place to visit, recommended.

From Solingen to Berlin to New York to almost every important culinary region. ZWILLING expanded quickly and became the specialist for the international culinary culture that you know today." I only knew Zwilling for its reputable knives. I entered this store believing I would only be looking at knives. This store has far more items here! Pots, pans, mixers and more. Take a look at the pictures. I was greeted by Chase at the store. He was very polite and enthusiastic about Zwilling products. He was also surprised that Zwilling did not have a Yelp site. The store was well organized and easy to view items. Clear signs advertised the item and price. Service: 5/5 stars Selection 5/5 stars Ambiance: 5/5 stats

This company has never let me down in terms of inventory and what its able to provide. Thats because the owner, Trigo, is well connected and has a bevy of resources.

Nothing worse than cutting food with dull knives. Since I never sharpened them professionally since I bought the knives, it was all worth it.
