I was staying at the YMCA again, and I needed some clothes hangers. I had never heard of this store before, but I found their name when I googled the term "dollar store." I called, and they said that they had them. This place was just down the street. I liked it a lot. The best way to describe it is like a Japanese version of "Dollar General." prices are a little bit more than a dollar, but are very very reasonable. If you need something, there's a good chance they will have it. They have seasonal items, kitchen, wear, cups, dishes, items for the bedroom and bathroom crafting supplies, just a very, very good selection of "this and that. The store is spotless, and everybody was very friendly. I would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you! UPDATE: When I got back to California, I was visiting my sister. Her daughter was visiting from the East Coast, and they mentioned Daiso. I had no idea they were on the mainland, I thought it was just a "Hawaii thing." we went to the local store, and it was just as good as the store that I visited in Hawaii. Daiso is just overall a great store. read more

12/06/25 First time to this location. I usually go to the Pearl City store but they were out of an item I wanted so decided to check here. This store is located on a very busy corner of Piikoi and Young streets. If you are coming from the west and set your GPS, it will take you east on S King street, turning left on Piikoi, then left into the Daiso parking lot. Do not follow these directions! You cannot make a left turn into the parking lot because they have it chained off and closed. The only entrance to the parking lot is on Young Street. If you turn left on Young from Piikoi, you cannot turn left into the parking lot because there is a huge no left turn sign. I had to go down Young then turn around by Longs. Talk about frustrating. Finally got to the parking lot and saw a couple of open spaces. It is a small lot and spaces are pretty tight. There are signs saying to wait for the attendant as he directs cars. If there are no spaces available at the moment, you sit and wait for the attendant to direct you. Fortunately, I was able to grab one of the last 2 available spaces. From the outside, the store looks small but once you walk in and turn to the right, the aisles stretch the length of the building. The store is well stocked and clean. Somehow in this small space, they manage to not only pack in so many items but seems neater and more organized. I found what I was looking for which were silicone covers for bowls. The cashier that helped me was very nice and friendly and she did confirm that this location is smaller than the Pearl City store. Overall, I had a good experience here except for entering the parking lot. Best thing for next time if coming from the west, instead of coming down S. King St, come down Young St heading east and then turn right into the parking lot. read more

Finding this place is not easy, and the parking lot is so small! This is one of the smallest stores I've seen of this chain. I was looking for a shower cady/organizer for my parents shower, but they didn't have anything I was looking for. But they sure had a lot of other fun things! I didn't buy anything cause I can just do that on the mainland. But it is a fun store to browse through! read more

My husband visited this store recently while in town, traveling for work. He said the store was large, well kept, with a huge assortment. He did say that parking was not the best, however. He was able to find some unique and interesting items that he probably would not have found at a store similar to this, back home. Everything is priced very reasonably for what you get. If you're looking for a store, that's not your average souvenir shop, where you can spend a little time looking at a bunch of different stuff, give this place a try! read more

Went in to grab some hair clips since I lost the one I bought in Daiso Japan. The clips from Japan were way better quality than other clips I've tried elsewhere, and still affordable. I got lucky finding the same style here--price was just a bit higher than in Japan, which makes sense. The parking lot is small and the spots are arranged a little oddly, but I found a space right away. Inside, you turn the corner and the store is actually bigger than it looks. It does not have as much as the Japan versions of the store, but it had what I was looking for. Definitely a good spot if you want quality stuff without breaking the bank. I wish it had all the snacks that are in Japan. read more

The selection of goods was impressive.I needed pens and there was a good selection. The dishes, cups, coffee filters, garden supplies, and cell phone accessories were excellent. The coffee maker was great for camping. read more

Value is the major condideration but quality is quite good for the price. They have items that you can't get elsewhere and at their price. Also a nice place to browse but you may leave with more than you expected!!! read more

Anyone who has visited Japan will undoubtedly visit Daiso. They have a varied amount of products for sale, even Japanese goodies to eat. Some of the stores are multi-story and quite extensive. Here in Hawaii there is a Daiso store in Honolulu and a larger one in Pearl City. Neither are as big as anything in Japan bit they have a nice selection of goods, knick knacks, most quite useful, all fun peruse. They kind of remind me of the old variety stores that used to dot Hawaii, like Ben Franklin, Woolworths and Kress. The town, Piikoi location in Honolulu is central for us townies and is great to check out. Parking can be an issue as it can get crowded. There is a parking attendant to help with the traffic. The sales associates are friendly and helpful and pretty knowledgable about the location of their many offerings. Check out the gadgets that could be useful. You'll never know what you might find. read more

I just love that Daiso is located on the corner of Piikoi and Young Street. The entrance of the parking lot is on Young Street before hitting Piikoi. It's a small lot but you can wait on Young Street and the attendant will let you in once spaces open up! You usually do Not have to wait long as there are 3 standby spaces in the lot. Plus, people seemed to shop quickly! Don't forget your own bags! I try to shop regularly as you never know when new merchandise comes in?! You don't want to miss out on anything especially if you see it Now, you need to buy it then cause it may not be there next time you go!! So I went on Thursday and saw these cute blue and yellow vases with this inscription: "Smiling brings happiness! It's a beautiful day and I have a feeling that something wonderful will happen." Went back Friday morning and bought all of them for only $1.75 each! What a deal! Even Faye the cashier (#6986) thought so. She is so nice, friendly and personable! She is amazing because she even went to check in store room if there were more?! Low and behold, she brought 2 boxes full with 10 each ( 5 blue & 5 yellow) Perfect!! Blake, is also amazing! He patiently packed the ones on the shelf with bubble wrap!! He told me that he purchased sake cups for his wedding favors! Now, what guy cares about wedding favors?! So nice, friendly and personable too! I hope I remembered their names correctly because they are so helpful! Kudos to them both! Thanks a million!!! read more

I was familiar with Daiso in Japan, but this was my first visit to Daiso here on the island. Turning left into the parking lot from Piikoi side of Young St. was not allowed and the lot was full at the time, but the attendant navigated all the cars waiting, so it was well organized. The store was not that big and I couldn't find what I was looking for, but they had decent selections and many people would probably find this place useful. As for the price, it was more expensive than the one in Japan. However, it was still cheap compared to other stores here. Definitely worth checking out. read more

Daiso - Inside - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Almost all products are sold at a price of less than 2 dollars, and are of good quality. Some are $2 or more, but the price is not expensive. But the quality is all good. I believe that this store sells products that many women wish to have. The items change depending on the season, so I go there regularly. ほぼすべての製品が 2 ドル未満の価格で販売されており、品質も優れています。 2ドル以上するものもありますが、決して高価なものではありません。しかし、品質はすべて良いです。多くの女性が欲しいと思う商品を取り扱っているお店だと思います。季節によって品物が変わるので、定期的に通っています。 read more

I've been coming to this location for the past 3 years and I've always loved it. The employees are always friendly and helpful, and whenever I come in they ask how I've been and it's so nice. However, recently the aisle layout of the entire store changed drastically, and it's completely changed the experience for the worse. Instead of aisles being shorter but more navigable, the main area is dominated by long narrow aisles that barely have enough room to get by another customer, and are completely impassable if there's a stocking cart or customer with a mobility aid (wheelchair, walker, etc). The amount of products stocked doesn't seem to have increased as a result, so I'm not sure why this decision was made. If it wasn't mandated from corporate, please change it back!! I miss looking forward to shopping here :( read more

Daiso has raised their prices to a point where most shoppers are not buying as much as before! I was shocked to see so many basket available at the front entrance of their store! I used to buy these glass tubes for plants (hydroponics) for $1.50 then 1.75 now $4.00? I google searched online and found Temu and a few other online stores were at $1.75 or less with free delivery! I decided to go thru the check out to pay for two vases only to find out that what was once $2.25 was now $6.50 each!!! I also noticed that no one in front of me had shopping baskets filled??? I also noticed that there were more staff putting back items that customers decided not to buy vs. staff refilling or putting out more new merchandise! I hope Daiso can sustain the challenging tariffs, but it looks like what the old "PRICE BUSTERS" went through, and eventually CLOSING THEIR BUSINESS! read more

Normally, i love this store. However, today, Sat. 1/10/2026, a little before 6:00pm, the parking lot attendant was rude and made me feel harassed/uncomfortable. Though i love this store, i will not shop here again. I would rather drive to another Daiso or go to Don Quijote instead. read more

All kind stuff from kitchen supplies to organizing gadgets etc at a discounted prices

Just returned from Japan....my 12th trip. Daiso stores are huuuge, and welcoming. And fair..... This Taco Stand has aisles so narrow one cannot navigate. It's a joke! Just uncomfortable and unnecessary. Wanted to purchase wrapping paper, but there is no scotch tape....and when I went to purchase the wrapping paper, it was this skimpy roll priced at over 4 bux....hey, we are all aware under the Biden Administration you thought u could raise prices. Time is over...eggs, groceries, gas has gone down...stop gauging us. Off to WalMart. You are aware your monthly sales are down? Good bye! read more

Aloha Auinalā. \000/....my lil Shopping Adventure from yesterday @Daiso Hawai'i Store in town, on Piikoi St. Love our Hawai'i Daiso, I mean who doesn't?? Although this location I really thought had they had "Shopping Carts", but they don't, BOOO! Haha! I haven't been to this Daiso for awhile now, but it's actually fine with me that you grab a "Shopping Basket" as soon as you enter in this location & start your Daiso Shopping, Whoo Huuu :). Lol! I'm glad that this Store wasn't Super Crowded yesterday (*9/12/2022*), Whew, && you actually have time to browse for whatever you Heart desires to buy in here @Daiso Hawai'i. I came in looking just for a few items, their are So much things to see in this Daiso Location (Imo) (@*1024 Piikoi Street*), that till this day I haven't gotten a chance to go down each & every single Isle yet! Lol. That's one of my goals here in our Hawai'i Daiso, is to browse & go down each & every Aisles! Lol. This *Daiso* @Piikoi St., Hi is a clean Store!!! Helpful workers here, Mahalo Nui *Daiso Hi*. From every size plastic Containers, Japanese Ceramic Bowls, Hair Accessories, Japanese Snacks/Chips/Candies, Disney Stuffs too & so much more things that you will see in any *Daiso Stors* I'm sure, & don't forget to check out the, "Hello Kitty" Section too, which btw, you are only allowed to purchase (5) items of anything Hello Kitty per day, which makes total sense to me, that gives everyone else a chance to pick up Hello Kitty Cute Stuffs!! I got stuck in Hello Kitty section today (lol!), it was so much Fun choosing my (5) items & (5) items more, since my Hubby was also in the Store picking up a few items too. It's very easy to choose (10) Hello Kitty items in this Store!! So, if you've never been to our *Daiso Hawai'i* Stores, this is a must see Store, filled with Tons & Tons of nick knacks which range from $1.75, & up, if you see other numbers on items, this Store has this price list that you just need to refer back to for a particular price, etc. If an item says 200 Yen = $3.00, etc, again just refer back to that chart that is pretty much provided all over in the Store in each Isle. This is a Happy place to Shop. Why yes, they even sell lots of different Reusable "Cute" tote bags & our Hawai'i Daiso Reusable Bags also, pick up 1 or 2 or more like me meeeeee!! They are great for gifts, (to put gifts inside these bags) especially our Hawai'i Daiso Reusable *Shopping Bags* are Pretty Cute. I'm glad that I didn't buy 10+ more ea. of the Hawai'i Daiso Reusable Shopping Bags like I did in the past, when our 1st Hawai'i Store opened in Hawai'i in the Pearl City area, I mean again these Hi Daiso Bags do did come in handy when I wanted to share them for gifts for my *Mainland Ohana* & also to put Mele Kalikimaka gifts in them. This time around, I only picked up a few of our Hawai'i Daiso Reusable Shopping Bags, Whew, I'm sure my Hubby was a Happy Camper! Haha! Lastly, the prkg lot is not the biggest here, doable, but they still have a few ppl/Workers outside to control the the prkg traffic at times, especially during the Weekends & Holidays, etc. Parking for us today was a breeze, luckily they had parking Stalls available when we arrived, Hip, Hip Hooray, we Scored!! Yayyy! Lol Can't wait to go back again to our Daiso Store here in Hawai'i & see what else kind of stuffs that I may need & or what I may not need, but will still buy them for, $1.75, that's a great deal! Cheers! Heehee! Aloha! read more

Going to Daiso is a little treat I give myself when I have some time and I'm so glad there is one now in Honolulu. I never park in the parking lot but go during the day and park on the left side of Piikoi Street on metered street parking. I always find a bag full of things that call out to me: little sauce dishes, small handcloths, washi tape, tablets, cooking tools I may never use. The best part is that when Ieave I usually have not spent more than $20! Of course the inventory always changes (and they carry different things than the Daiso in Seattle across from Uwaijimaya that I tend to frequent) but then that's the joy of browsing the aisles. read more

Daiso - Japanese dishes! So inexpensive. - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Our day trip to Oahu included a stop here, which was a first for me. Friend who was driving said "There's no food there!" as she knows me so well. I said "That's okay, I'm curious to see what's inside." PARKING: While their tiny parking lot is a problem, it really isn't as there's a pay lot just across the street ($1 for 2-hours). But, the majority of shoppers make it an even bigger problem as they'll wait for a stall to open, engines idling, unnecessarily polluting the air and causing a line of cars to overflow onto the street. They even employ a parking lot attendant. I guess if you're shopping at a dollar store you'd want free parking? I just can't! LOL. THE STORE: It's not a big footprint to begin with. Narrow aisles + no crowd control = an unpleasant shopping experience. It's a good thing they don't have shopping carts as you're already weaving through trying not to bump and grind with total strangers; unless you're into that... The inventory is overwhelming. It's really a clusterf*** of goods ranging from kitchenware to crafting to office supplies and everything in between, and yup, no foods except for some chips and candies near the registers. I did check out their selection of miso soup bowls which had some weight to them and felt of high quality. I have something similar at home but they're old and the inner lacquer lining isn't holding up well in the dishwasher. I mentioned to my friend after the fact that there were no prices listed. She said something about a sticker color and currency converter? That's too much work! OVERALL: Definitely a place where you weigh the pros and cons of price vs. pleasure. read more

Daiso on Piikoi Street is very clean, organized, bright lighting, friendly helpful employees, and has a diversity of items in various departments. The aisles have signs above them for easier finding of items. Although they have small amounts of various items, there's still alot to browse through. Prices are reasonable which matches the quality of the items. They have price signs on the walls to explain their pricing. I take a picture of it and refer to it when need to convert the yen to US dollars. If there are no pricing on an item, it's $1.75. You can plan to go in there for a couple items but end up buying more because they're cute, cheap, or a must-have. At the entrance of the store, there are bottles of hand sanitizer for customers and masks are required. There is free parking but the lot is not too big so there might be a short wait. There is a parking lot attendant guiding customers and notifying them when there is an open parking space. read more

And who said $1 will get nothing???? It's been a few years that Daiso has presence here in Hawaii. Daiso is the Asian Japanese Dollar Store. If you are looking for little trinkets or household items or office items or just something for nothing? This is the place to go. There are quite a few useful things; like kitchen items, hair items, storage items, gardening items and so many other things. Make sure you have time to browse in the store. All sales final. Parking in the Daiso parking lot is an issue. Seasonal and special items (like Disney) are available. You would never know unless you go to Daiso. Not all Daiso's are alike so it's like hunting for the hidden treasure Enjoy!!! read more

There was so much good stuff price was cheap . Not much parking but glad I found parking fast that time . Had some cute stuff like Sanrio.

Cute dollar type store!! Very happy with purchases so far! I will be back to get some gardening pots and kitchen needs!!

Terrible parking situation overall. Parking attendants do absolutely nothing (and are rude) , but with a lot that has about 20 spaces, dont expect much. Great selection of items but better to Amazon them. read more

Nice, and had a good selection of items. the staff were nice as well however some of the shelves were quite messy and had lots of mixed items. read more

If it weren't for the rough parking situation, I am down wid' da Daiso DEALAGES!!!! :D So I've heard about this great store, as my friends who have gone to Japan had told me about it. Later I also heard that Daiso was also on the mainland, but now we also have two Daiso stores on Oahu. The 1st store that opened was in Pearl City, and the 2nd store opened up in Honolulu right by the backside of the Makiki Walgreens & PetCo area. Truthfully when I do get a chance to come here, I am not looking for anything in particular, I just come here to look for unreal DEALAGES!!! Daiso sells an array of nick knacks like - household products, stationaries, gardening stuff, snacks & drinks, automobile items, hardware items, kitchen items, electronic accessories, office supplies, and even small toys. I can probably go on & on about this place, but truthfully Daiso sells many types of items in this store, and it's really hard to remember. I guess you will have come down to Daiso to and see for yourself, to know what this store is all about. There is free parking available in front of the store, but unfortunately the parking lot is tiny, therefore getting a parking space is a premium. Not to fret gang, if the Daiso parking lot is full, there is metered parking, as well as free parking within the Makiki neighborhood, but upon parking your car, you will have to take a short walk to get to Daiso. Lookin' for DEALAGES??? Daiso is the place my friends! read more

Super bummed that I couldn't go to Japan so I googled Japanese stores and found this downtown Honolulu Daiso Store. It's a franchise store that is headquartered in Japan. It specializes in inexpensive imported items. Most items cost $1.50 each or marked accordingly. This location is on the corner of Piikoi street and Young Street. There is a small parking lot dedicated specifically for the store with a parking attendant that monitors it. We actually parked across the street. Probably best if you wait to park in their lot. It was a little sketchy near the 7 Eleven store. So much fun going through each aisle and looking at all the cool and mostly unnecessary stuff. I found some fun things. Totally cheered me up and I only spent $10 ....a lot cheaper than flying and quarantining for 14 days in Japan. read more

Parking here is horrible..... But they have an attendant to keep traffic flow. Make sure you're on the correct side of Young street... No left turns... Asides that who doesn't already know about Daiso! Cute items and maybe things I don't even need for $1.50 or marked prices. Anything range from garden tool to hair ties to notebooks. Even has snacks and holiday items. Disney items are a hit, like the mickey rice scooper was a big hit when they first open, now they have variety of items with disney like lanyards, reusable bags, notebooks, planners, clipboard, etc. I buy disney laundry bags everytime I went because it's great to wash not only delicates but plush dolls, pillows, yarn, etc. but they have raised the price to $3-$4 and not $1.50 as when I used to pay. Good thing I bought a bunch before the price hike. It really has all kinds of stuff, you have to be patient and look at everything which can be overwhelming and easy to over spend. Make sure when you see an item you like to get it because the next time you go it may not be there. You never know what's in stock. When they first opened I bought glass jars to store honey or sugar and I haven't seen them since. All sales finals for this. read more

Ok yes I'm guilty of buying lots of stuff that I really don't need lol. But it's so much fun looking at all the products from japan here. The prices are good and I love just to browse through and find something new lol parking is limited but I do street parking and walk over read more

Located up the road from Ala Moana (turn right down Pensacola and left on Pi'ikoi), Daiso is a small shop with a lot of value to offer. In terms of parking, there's a dedicated lot with an attendant there to manage the traffic (parking is free), but it can be tight. Street parking is also available. Once inside, you'll find a range of goods at prices beyond reasonable. I could try to list all the categories but it's pretty impossible. Garden tools? Yep. Stationary? Of course. Kitchen goods? Plenty. A selection of American and Japanese treats? Yes! Actually, that's probably the area I'd like more of. Prices are marked on the packages and conversion charts are on every aisle. Though, you don't even need to bother with all of that. Stuff is so affordable that the only real reason to look is to note the surprise you feel every time. read more

I love coming here to help cure my longing to go to Japan. Of course, it is not the same as the larger Daiso stores in Japan, but they still have a lot of items that are fun and useful. One recommendation, if you see something you like, buy it. A lot of things run out and are replaced by newer items. read more

"All items $1.50 unless priced otherwise" except like 60% of the items are priced otherwise LOL There are many items, but items of all the same design - the variety is much smaller than that of the Daiso in Japan (which is totally understandable). The store is well-lit and the large signs make it easy to find the aisle you're looking for. I think the dishware was probably the best value for the price. They're exactly like the ones you'd get at the Japanese Daiso - good quality and most were about $1.50-$2. Workers don't really approach you to see if you need help with anything, and some may take this as a sign of neglect, but as an introvert, I love it lol This Daiso is located on the corner of Piikoi & Young, across from Zippy's/Hakuyosha. The Piikoi entrance seemed to be blocked off when I went, so entrance & exit was only from the Young Street side. read more

Every once in a while I like to see what Daiso has to offer. My friend posted her haul of a million Disney items from Daiso, so when I got the chance, I went for it! I pretty much shopped for anything and everything that was pink and cute in there. A dried laver stamp...is a seaweed stamp. Pretty cute to decorate on your own bento. Not sure when I have the time for it but one day it'll come in handy. I can't get enough of shaped ice trays! Seems to be what I've been collecting lately. A Minnie make up brush and pink hair brushes, I'm obsessed! And honestly, this one brushes through my long hair smoothly. The peach and lychee gummy candy is super yummy! Shoutout to one of the security guards. He was really sweet. He allowed me to stay in the parking lot until Kupuna hours was finished and then knocked on my window when it was time to go in. Even though the parking lot is tight, I trust in the security guards guidance to get everyone in and out efficiently, and shoo away sketchy peeps. Kupuna hour: 9am-10am read more

Great store with a variety of items. It's like an upscale Dollar Tree. The items are good quality at great prices.

We had been wanting to stop by Daiso for some time and finally had the chance to enjoy it. Daiso is a Japanese dollar store chain; it has that bright clean look, with good quality items at cheap prices. They've opened a few dozen stores in the USA, with only two on Oahu. The store is located on Piikoi and Young Streets; they have a dedicated parking lot out front with an attendant. It's free but gets full quickly. The store entrance is nearby. It's shaped like an L with cashiers on the left, and merchandise extending around to the right. Everything in the store is $1.50. There are exceptions that are clearly marked, with some things like candy and drinks costing less, and nicer items like glassware with higher prices. Regardless, everything is Japan quality. They have a huge selection of items from housewares, cooking, organizing, gifts, souvenirs, toys, snacks, and gadgets. Guaranteed you'll end up buying more than you came here for! It's worth coming in whether you're a local or tourist new to Japanese goods; you'll find something useful or cute! read more

Daiso - New Hours! - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

We came to Daiso after hearing it was a good place to find some cheap souvenirs and a wide assortment of a ton of other things! We wanted to see if we could find a lunch-bag, chopsticks, and anything else. We thought about parking in the parking lot out front but it was full - there was even a lot attendant! We had to park in another parking lot but there's plenty of parking around, you may just have to be creative. The parking lot has a roped off area to provide some safety while walking to the front doors since there's no sidewalk. Once you walk in through the doors, the store seems small, but just turn to your right and it all opens up. The aisles are wide, clean, organized, and well signed. This store had everything from arts and crafts to dog toys. Everything is $1.50 unless marked otherwise. We filled a basket pretty fast! read more
