I went to this Daiso location because the one on Piikoi is being renovated. Before going there I called the store to ask about parking. They were very helpful, pleasant and patient. They told me to park in the Pantheon Garage, same building as the store as well as other businesses. Address for the Pantheon Garage is 71 South Pauahi St. The entrance is located off Pauahi Street, a side street. Guest parking is available on the first floor only. You turn into a narrow lane and there is directions and a card scanner on the left side of the wall. You need to scan your credit card to enter the garage. When I scanned my card it said $10. It doesn't give you a parking ticket but make sure you know the license plate number for your car. Downside, parking is limited and stalls are narrow. Once you park, look for the corridor which brings you out onto Fort Street Mall. Exit, turn right and right again then you will see Daiso. A security guard is stationed in and around the garage at all times. After you make your purchase at Daiso, be sure to let them know you parked in the Pantheon Garage and give them your license number. You will be refunded for your parking payment. The charge will show up as pending but after a day or two it will be refunded. To exit the garage, just drive up to the gate and it will automatically open. read more

The downtown Honolulu location on Hotel Street is convenient (just a block from Fort Street Mall) so it's easy to stop by while running errands. I found the store bright, clean, well organized, and packed with a surprising variety of Japanese designed items. It's not a huge store, but they manage to fit a lot inside. Overall, the experience feels like a bit of a treasure hunt. You can find useful office supplies, household items, toys, and small gifts at reasonable prices, and sometimes you're pleasantly surprised by the quality. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the store itself is well maintained. read more

Fact: When Daiso first opened its doors for business in Hawaii back in December 2018 in Pearl City, I didn't jump. As a matter of fact, I've yet go to their original location. When the second store opened in Piikoi in March 2019, it took me MONTHS before I set foot in their store. I had no agenda of what to get but to check them out and see what the buzz is all about. This third location on N Hotel St in downtown opened in January 2022. At this location parking is your typical Chinatown parking woes but if I need to pick something up for home or my part time job, I'll casually stop by on my way back to my car after running errands. This location is smaller than the Piikoi store but it's bright, well lit and organized. There's a large variety of things at very reasonable prices where it's understandable to see many shopping here. In my opinion Japanese products tend to be of better quality and with discount pricing, a great value. I just recently came here to get some items to assist me with some filing at home and picked up some clear file sheets and a plastic case. I looked for pricing but couldn't find the stickers. But I then noticed a laminated sign with a price guide that stated no price = $2.25. Sold. I made my way to the register to check out. Staff are friendly and noticed a few on the floor either stocking or answering questions. So why not a 5-star rating from me? The foot traffic in this area is not ideal. It's unfortunate to see homeless and questionable people in this area, as well as many vacancies nearby. Doing business in downtown definitely has its challenges nowadays. Overall, great experiences shopping at this Daiso where I see myself coming back again. I don't have many errands to run in the downtown area on weekdays but will be sure to stop by Daiso if I need anything for the home or part time job. read more

We went to buy a stapler. They have staples but not staplers. We use both naturally so it makes sense they sell both, but not here. I guess we are so spoiled by DAISO in Japan, so it was disappointing. read more

This is only referring to the Daiso store in Downtown Hotel Street on a particular day 3/22/2025. I was looking for one particular item and found it for $1.83. I thought to make things easy and give the cashier a one dollar bill and the 83 cents in exact loose change. I had a lot of loose change in my pocket. Strangely the cashier picked up one of the pennies I handed over and tersely told me "This is no good!" I was confused as it was penny... just a bit old and worn but still a legal tender penny. She wanted me to give a better looking penny. Ok so I gave her a newer penny in place of that old one. Never had a cashier make a big fuss over a penny. It was not like I trying to pass off a penny instead of a dime. This cashier made me feel like I was trying to do something wrong. Then the cashier looked carefully at the one dollar bill I handed over and gave me a look as though she thought that this might be counterfeit. So she ran the bill checker pen over that one dollar bill. I'm just thinking to myself "Geez... not like I'm handing over a twenty dollar bill." It felt like this cashier was insinuating that I was trying to pass off a "bogus one dollar bill" by the way she was looking. Give me a break. Finally after completing this sales transaction... this cashier tersely tells me "no returns on this item!". As if I'm going to bother coming all the way back to this store in Downtown over one item that cost $1.83. Not worth the gas to drive over here for something like that anyhow. This visit to this store felt awkward and I got bad vibes from that cashier on that day when I was only trying to make things easy by paying for the one item using exact change. read more

This downtown Daiso location has more things in stock compared to the Daiso on Piikoi Street. They are on Hotel Street in the former space of Love's Bakery and next to a printing shop. The store is small but it's clean and the shelves were filled with merchandise. If you can't find an item, ask one of the staff and they'll help you find it. They have signs posted on all the shelves telling you what the price conversion is since not everything in the store is $1.75 anymore. I recently learned that you could get parking validation for the Pantheon Garage if you make a purchase here. The validation gives you free parking for 1 hour and it's great for when you just want to swing by and pick up stuff on Saturdays. read more

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

If you happen to be in downtown, stop by Daiso. This location is conveniently located next to Marukame Udon on Hotel St. The store is compact, but it's well stocked with a variety of items. I was browsing the holiday goods, and I found Disney wrapping paper, Christmas paper plates, and gift bags. I found some cute birthday balloons and party flowers to decorate at a party I am attending. I also found a bunch of Sanrio stuff near the register. These items tend to sell out at Pearl City and Piikoi. but the downtown location has a bunch in stock. I quickly found my items and went to the cash register. The cashier was very friendly and helpful. She also handed me a flyer explaining the free 1 hour parking in downtown. She thanked me for shopping at Daiso ... and even drew a happy face on my receipt. It's the little gestures that warm your heart and make your shopping experience so memorable here. read more

Heard about daiso for years but never went. Been to them in Japan and enjoyed shopping there. This shop is one block from fort street mall and conveniently located. I bought some scented kneaded erasers, these are a GREAT buy, fun, good quality, and price. However, the ice tray I bought broke after a few uses. Terrible! I bought purse hooks, these were great, I missed having them so it was fun to discover them after not seeing them for a long time, they work great. Also bought a Bluetooth speaker for $6 and works great with my laptop. So I guess you get what you pay for and sometimes you get pleasantly surprised, which I guess is the allure of daiso the dollar and a half store. read more

Daiso - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Oh Daiso, you naughty little store with your cheap, cheap, cheap $1.50 quality, useful items and other excellent deals. It's hard to not leave the store without getting something. You'll definitely find something you didn't know you needed. Opening a Daiso in Downtown is such a welcomed sight. Albeit along a sketchy area along Hotel St, near Fort Street Mall. I want to say this is where Love's Bakery used to be, but I may be wrong. This Daiso is much smaller than the other stores, caters more toward people working or living in the Downtown area as office supplies will be one of the first things you'll see when you enter. There's also small kitchen accessories, cosmetics, toiletries, tools, and even a fake security camera if you need one of those. I needed a new rice paddle, and found one with two in a pack! Also got an oyster knife, which should work better than a butter or pairing knife. Always worried I'll break them. Last thing was 100 empty tea bags. Much cheaper than Chinatown! Overall, an awesome store with many useful items at only $1.50! Great deals! Friendly staff. read more

Third location of Daiso on the Island of Oahu in Downtown Honolulu! The newest location of the Japanese "one hundred yen" store opened on Thursday, January 20, 2022 on Hotel Street. It's good news for people who work in downtown because office supplies and knick knacks are just $1.50 (plus tax) - unless the item is marked at a higher price with a sticker. PARKING: I visited on a Saturday when there's free street parking in the Loading Zone. (I parked on Bishop Street.) There's also free street parking on Sundays and Holidays. SERVICE: the cashier that helped me was very cheerful and a great conversationalist. She was also efficient and welcoming! ENVIRONMENT: inside of the store was clean, neat, well lit, and nicely air conditioned. Outside - watch out for vagrants, unusual odors, and questionable liquids here and there on the ground... I was looking for air fresheners for my mom. She likes a particular one that she had found in the past. The other location was sold out and this downtown location didn't have any either. Shucks! I did find doggie toys for my fur nephew and fur niece. Luna loved her pink bone-shaped toy to pieces... Literally!!! Haha! Welcome to Downtown Honolulu, Daiso! Best wishes for success! read more

Daisoholic is a real thing, thank goodness for keeping it real here and congratulations your third location. Though this location is the smaller of the three there never a shortage of curious shoppers looking for that item of inspiration, knickknacks, useful gadget or what my friend used to say tchotchke lol!! So many clever items that can improve the functionality for as little as $1.50 you just can't go wrong. Many with cute and fun graphics from Disney and Sanrio I find myself seriously bonding with it all immediately. This location is classically parking challenge though if you find yourself in the area it is a great stop as they also have snacks and drinks and who know that item you didn't know you were looking for ;-) Thank you!! read more

Who doesn't like a store full of items priced at $1.50? This location is quite small but it is filled with lots of items! I always walk out with way more than I was originally looking for. When I step through the doors I like Daiso tell me what I need. The entrance is on hotel street a feet from Marugame Udon. read more

Daiso - The entrance - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Have you ever gotten that Spidey sense of incoming danger? Well, I got the wallet version of that walking around downtown looking for something good to eat for lunch. A big ol' magenta sign with white letter beckoning me to spend all my money in $1.50 (or more) increments, hence the "danger, danger, danger" sense flashing. But, like a moth to a flame or thirsty woman drawn to an obviously bad for her can't resist the "but I can be the one to change him" jerk, we all piled into the brand-new downtown Daiso against our better judgement. The store is well lit, clean, air conditioned, very modern, with oodles and oodles of low priced Japanese designed goodies. From home goodies, cute toys, umbrellas, makeup, the works, it's all there. It's not a huge location, but they manage to pack a lot of stuff in there. I almost bought into temptation and grabbed magnetic spice jar containers, knock off Lego animal sets, picture frames, etc. Thankfully, the voice of reason kicked in and all I got was photos so I can measure to see if these items will even fit. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger, I will be back. We'll see if my voice of reason comes with me though to stop me from buying everything. Parking is a mess as always as it's downtown, but it's near Walmart so you can shop downtown and buy something from Walmart to get validated as a means of finding parking other than street. COVID Info: Mask required, and they have hand sanitizer at the front. read more

Daiso for downtown Honolulu: a great reason to take a break and momentarily escape the confines of your home or office. This is Daiso's newest location on Hotel Street, adjacent to Marukame (Fort Street Mall). Daiso's merchandise truly grabs your attention, especially given the affordable $1.50 price point for majority of items. I find myself having to exercise restraint, as their stuff is so appealing. Check it out: you'll be able to find something that tickles your fancy. read more

This Daiso location is located in Hotel street and not Fort street mall. Best to find street parking. (I think) and watch your surroundings when walking in the area. This location has probably the most stocked goods because it's not easily accessible in comparison to the other location. The employees are friendly and there is a great selection of merchandise with excellent value! This location is s little out of the way for me, but good to see what they have too! read more

Daiso is located in downtown next to Marukame. I'm a bit bummed they opened up now that I rarely frequent the office. They have the cutest office accessories. I brought my littles ones with me one day and they had a blast. The lady was kind enough to open the door as I had a stroller. I was able to maneuver through this location just fine as we were the only ones in store shopping. I had picked up this acrylic butterfly hair clip and wish I had purchased more as I couldn't find it again. It's the smallest Daiso location on island but they still have a lot of goodies. You can park at Ali'i place and pay on your way out the lot, or find street parking around hotel street or along Bishop street. They will not validate your ticket whichever building you choose to park though. read more

Anywhere I see a Daiso, I feel compelled to go in.... No matter how many in Japan, Korea, Oahu, California, Washington.... I must go in. This location is convenient for those in the dowtown area. Luckily, it is right next to Marugame!! :D Cheap...well, prices are on the rise, like everything else. You need to be careful and look at the posted prices. I made this mistake awhile back when the prices changed. When I went to the register, the cashier reminded me. But I bought the items nonetheless as I liked them and "needed" them. The store is bright, clean and pretty well organized. Staff are friendly :) read more

Daiso - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I already love Daiso but I found this location super cute. It's smaller than the Pearl City location but stocked up well and way less busy. Everything is pretty cheap which is great for me. I got rubber gloves, a desk trash can, two mini shopping bags, and a mini 5-in-1 mandolin for slicing vegetables and such, all for less than $15! The cashiers are friendly and ring you out quickly, and there are a few employees around the store who can answer your questions. The only thing for me is that it's pretty far from home, but I love the great selection of items and snacks and would come back again if we were in the area. read more

Well Daiso opened a new store on Hotel Street whee! So of course being nearby I had to check it out! It is a bit smaller than the other two stores but with the same character, being in Downtown it would cater to those working and riding the bus through here.

Congrats to Daiso for opening a third location in Oahu! Not sure if this was a great idea (for me) because being the Daiso-holic I am, I can see me skipping my lunch hunts and heading here for some office knick knacks. This location is a little smaller than the other two locations and as everyone else mentioned, a little hard to get to if you aren't working or living in the area. There is a little ramp in the store where it leads you to more knick knacks. I was quite pleased to see the merchandise that was offered. Luckily they have a good amount of stationary items that is perfect for the area. But it's unlucky for me because just like Dathan C mentioned, that big ol' magenta sign with the white letter got me under the spell and convinced me that its "only" $1.50. Overall, I liked this little location and I will definitely be visiting here again. read more

Located in Downtown Honolulu in Fort Street Mall area is the newest of the Daiso stores opened on Oahu! Parking is limited you will need to park in paid parking lots around the area or street metered parking which is pretty expensive, so that keeps customers from coming to this store which it was nice to browse the store without the normal crowds of other customers. At most items price at $1.50 if there is no price sticker on them the rest are priced at $2.00 - $6.00 per items, with the price of parking it no wonder not to many shoppers at this location unless you take the bus down. Beware of the area even though they have increased the police presence they are still a lot of homeless and transient roaming the area, read more

I was tripped out to find this store off 'Fort Street Mall'. From the necessary daily to the once a month object that would come in handy, to the obscure like a Magnum Water Pistol. They are polite to me and have more then (1) one register. It is an Air-Conditioned business so it is pleasant to drop into to escape the heat. read more

Daiso - Bethel and pauahi is one of the better locations to park on the street. No near parking on hotel street. - Discount Store Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Cheap, useful, and cute items for a few dollars or less, Daiso is such a great store that even without the free parking it would be 5 stars! Daiso has so many useful items and it can be fun to just look around for neat Japanese things. I needed organizing supplies and Daiso is the perfect spot. Not only do they have snacks but they have containers and garden items and cello bags that are perfect for gift giving. BEST OF ALL - FREE 1 HR PARKING DOWNTOWN I hope that they keep it, because it is such an awesome deal. Entrance to the garage is off Bethel street, make a right turn on Pauahi (after passing Hawaii Theater) and the garage is another right turn into an alley/driveway. Swipe your credit card to open the gate and park to the left. When I went in the afternoon it was empty! After doing your Daiso shopping, ask for validation and they will validate your license plate number so that you can just drive out with 1 hr free parking. After shopping you even have time to get some food before heading back to the car. read more

This is actually one of the smaller Daiso stores. They have all of the same products as most of the other locations. Some items that they do not have are the larger plastic storage containers and gardening supplies. Aisles are narrow and can get very tight with other shoppers around. The store is clean, well organized and the check out line and process was quick and friendly. All purchases are no return which is their normal policy. read more

This was a very good shop and browse around in. I was very amazed at the items were 1.50 and believe me it can't go wrong if you find things like rice scooper, stationery along with nail polish/cosmetics and household products. The only draw back was facilities. The only drawback was they didn't have a restroom and it would be great if there was a restroom for the customers who are shopping in the establishment. Other than that this is really good and for people who are on tight budgets and looking something that it is inexpensive and affordable to buy. So when in the area, stop by the store and see what they have to offer and everything in between. Glad I checked it out and see what they offered read more

Located at Fort St. Mall downtown Honolulu, the big plus for this Daiso is that its conveniently located where there is heavy foot traffic during the work week. If you need some handy items priced from $1.50-$5 this store makes for a better alternative to Walmart and CVS. The store doesnt have as much selection as Piikoi or Pearl City locations and staff are available around the store if you have questions, but they only speak unless spoken to so be prepared to initiate your questions. No dedicated parking for this location, so snag street parking or park in one of the nearby paid garages/lots would be your best bet. read more

From when I walked in I felt like I was profiled to look at food containers not even there for to long and a worker comes and act like he restocking items he keeps turn his head looking at me.

I was needing a tray for work and work for a popular night club in Waikiki. I was there with my girlfriend and at first the workers there were very polite and pointing us to the right direction. Then as we were about to pay this guy who I'm assuming had a bad day tells me to leave the store and has the right ti refuse service. I asked why and was confused on what was happening. He simply said he doesn't care and would not give me a reason. This was literally the first time in this location and have been to the Pearl City location in the past but my only conclusion was he was mistaken me for someone else and i get that. But when a customer asks, what was the name of the person you think i am so i can show identification, and his reply is "I don't care, just get the F out of my store quote to me that has poor service and a lack of better judgment. My fiancé ended up paying for the stuff which I was a little irritated by because why would I want to give my hard-working money to a store who treats me where they did? And for no reason at all, I'm actually going to go to corporate and Rick Clean And, because either it was discrimination or it was defamation of character because it was an embarrassing experience to me and for my fiancé. He will not tell me his name and we look like he want to tell me his name is because he knows what he's doing was wrong. This whole right is to refuse service policy is just a loophole for treating people like crap specifically people that are in downtown. I just moved down here from City for cheaper rent and it was a big mistake. In the first week, I've already had my guitar and clothing stolen, My fiancé robbed for her purse and cell phone, and now, this guy, mistakingly identifying me for someone else or discriminating me. This guy should be fired and if I had time would sue this franchise. With my schedule this best I can do. read more

Do NOT buy their hanging storage box - 4 compartments. Smells so bad! Too stinky to use in your closet. Have to toss away

I love this Daiso at Fort Street Mall, not a fan of the location though. They are very well stocked and found most of the things I was looking for, that I've been waiting for the other 2 locations to have. Parking is challenging. You can pay for street parking and after 5:30 pm it's free, unless your willing to spend $20 at Walmart and get it validated by the cashier, which is what I did and I did need things from there. Will be going here again, when I need to stock up on my doggies food. read more

Yes, I highly recommend this store The prices of their merchandise is very reasonable and their quality is "great" !!! You can't find their merchandise in other places for comparable prices !!! They have such a "good" variety of everyday items and some items unique to their store !!! You will not be disappointed in shopping here !!! read more

At $1.50 for nearly all items, it's incredibly hard to leave without making a purchase, even when the items aren't particularly "necessary".
