I'm lucky to have cross paths with beautiful Kauai. My previous visit was over 25 years ago. Yes,…read morethose times I remembered were filled with driving around the island with lots of sugar canes. It's good to know, even with small shopping centers in certain areas, it still doesn't take away the beauty and lushness of the mountains, trees, and the ocean. This shopping center carries the necessities and some luxuries if you choose to partake. Some of the shops: Safeway-pick up some groceries and snacks Starbucks-morning coffee Health food store-pick up something healthy to eat and try their sample tastings Abc stores-tourist souvenirs Subway-sandwich to go-for the beach Jewelry store-something for yourself or lover Stop by and take a look for yourself! It's coveniently located close to where I stayed. :)

They have a good mix of completely predictable chains (so that you don't lose your mind from trying all new things) to locally owned businesses (so you don't lose your soul from selling out to the corporate machines.) We got lunch at Subway, stopped in at Starbucks, ABC Store and Ross. Yes, we are total corporate chain sell outs and I am completely ashamed of myself. Tomorrow I make the commitment to buy my coffee from a local hipster coffee shop that only single origin pour overs from a responsible fair trade grower, buy all my produce from a farmers market, go to Goodwill and buy used clothing so I create less waste, and get my takeout from a mom 'n pop restaurant who sources 40% of their product from local organic growers. Who am I kidding? I'll just start with the coffee and we'll see how it goes from there...

The Rice Shopping center has seen better days. I was here most recently during the Labor Day…read moreweekend 2017 and decided to look around. Needless to say, there's a bunch of options here for everyone. The Rice Shopping Center is what you would call your neighborhood shopping center, even though there's only a small handful of shops that reside here, especially with a large section for the laundromat and there's a bowling alley too. It was nice to explore here and found out there was a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Kauai. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday evening to what this part of Lihue has to offer. It's not really fair to say that this shopping center is fairly ghetto, even though the parking lot was nearly full when I came here. Although it's a far cry from the malls I have been to on Oahu and Maui, this strip mall is a little disappointing and sad at the same time. For what it's worth though, it has its industrial charm and it helps the community with its presence. Especially with the communal laundromat there, many residents can do their thing here while having a meal or even go bowling on any time they wish. The overall experience here at the Rice Shopping center was okay and average. While it was nice to enjoy the benefits of travel and also enjoy restaurants and businesses via yelp, the Rice Shopping Center was not really your typical shopping center. As mentioned before, the laundromat seemed to be the key feature at this mall, as well as the bowling alley. They also have a restaurant and bar too, although I didn't go in there during this go around. I wish that they had more stores here, but the ambiance was decent to zilch. Since it was a weekend, this place was a ghost town and I thought it would have been busier. Rice Shopping center is located on Rice Street and Kress Street in the heart of Lihue, Kauai. I suspect that most merchants here accept credit cards, but cash is always king most places. I am not sure if the Kauai Bus comes through the area, but I rented a car during my stay on Kauai, so best bet is to check the Kauai bus schedule if you are commuting that way around Lihue and on Kauai in general. For the rest of us, there is plenty of parking here and more in the back lots, as well as nearby residential areas too. For me, I ended up checking out Pho Kauai as dinner option for Saturday night and the bowling alley as an entertainment venue for Sunday afternoon. Pho Kauai was a good option for y'all who love Pho and any type of Vietnamese cuisine. For the most part though, it was cool to be in a vintage bowling alley, especially when these kinds of businesses are a dying breed. We need to keep bowling alive to keep the business going! For me, while it was good to come here to Rice Shopping center for food and entertainment options, I've seen better and been in better places. This shopping center lacks that charisma that other neighborhood shopping centers do. Would I recommend this shopping center? Maybe. While the restaurant/bar is always a good choice, or maybe the Pho enticed you, and the bowling alley is your gym, come on down and experience this shopping venue for yourself. It can be a downer though, just fair warning. You've been warned. 3.0 stars for the overall experience - the shopping center as a whole. I was underwhelmed. Support local! C

(Visited 04/24/26 FR @ 5:00pm and 04/25/26 SA @ 1:00pm): This old town was cool like a koala!…read more Old Kōloa Town was an original plantation-era shopping village in the heart of historic Kōloa Town, which I came upon while I explored the area, the shops, and specifically Mucho Aloha Brewhouse. Kōloa Town was the home of Hawai'i's first successful sugar mill, so this quaint outdoor shopping emporium catered to this important time in history to try and meld the two times and worlds together. Otherwise a sleepy town, Old Kōloa Town attracted visitors and tourists for its smattering of businesses that ranged from art galleries, local souvenirs, restaurants, and more. Did this old town hold enough coolness to warrant future returns!? PURCHASE(S) Mucho Aloha Brewhouse ($98.00): My mandatory visit to a nearby brewery. Mango's ($16.00): Some dessert onsite and also something for later. Kaua'i Island Brewing Co. ($87.00): My first experience while in town, it was so nice I went twice! EXPERIENCE A slow-paced town where my legs casually led me along the main road and pathways as I stepped into one storefront after another https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=WqrC5FX_CFg_bHOJm2Yn5Q to see what was inside possibly for that must-have gift or something to be wowed by. I gave the respect each business deserved, admired and held their wares in some cases, curiously people-watched, and eventually was a patron at one specific business within the Old Kōloa Town shopping complex as well as two other nearby businesses in town. Iconic roosters https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=G1mYSbhamHS-3nlBBlMmzw roamed everywhere (please don't feed them), and the gentle wind blew against me as I stood waiting for the bus to take me back to my hotel. SERVICE Generally speaking, all of the employees I came in contact with were friendly and helpful. The only business I actually spent money and time at was Mucho Aloha Brewhouse, and the service was efficient and straightforward. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I took the bus, so this wasn't an issue for me. Otherwise, there appeared to be some onsite parking with spots along the main drag of Koloa Rd. and other side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A cluster of businesses divided into buildings paired with other non-associated stores and food trucks in town, you had various options that helped separate you from your money, from art, clothing, restaurants, trinkets, and more. Each shop had its distinct feel, but the overriding theme was the Hawaiian aloha spirit. Each storefront had plenty of natural lighting while various electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. TVs and background music (if applicable) varied by merchant. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=144&select=QQmaC7rAXbteMyjTfkSJ3g ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Old Kōloa Town - both the shopping complex and the actual town - was a lot of fun and I would definitely visit it if I were in the area. There were still many places to spend my money, the vibe was totally chill, and I could possibly spend an entire day just putzing around. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $201.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, at least the stores I shopped at accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

I mean, mostly shopping centers here in Kauai I noticed they aren't that big but still it makes so feel excited as they have different things they can offer to you. And the great thing about this shopping center is that they have ample parking space! Now that's a deal. Through my further research, the property is owned by Stanley Togikawa, & managed by Coldwell Banker Commercial. And for sure they are planning something for the place. I mean, they should! It needs a lil bit of improvement too! Can't wait for the vague time that I'll visit kauai again. For sure I'm going to be back here coz there's one Filipino restaurant that I need to dine!
