    This boutique is so charming and has beautiful island-style clothing and accessories. The challenge for me is the same everywhere I go. I struggle to find inclusive places where plus-size options are truly part of the selection. Most of the time, the options are limited or tucked away in a corner. Unfortunately, that was the case here, which left me browsing only the accessories and cutting my shopping trip short. I'd love to come back again when plus-size options are more embraced.

    I love coming to this location. The girls here are ALWAYS so friendly and the AWESOME customer service is consistent with all of the employees. You can tell that they are happy to be at work and love it. The store isn't very big but a decent size which holds a lot of their merchandise. The sizes go quickly especially after new items come out, so keep in mind that if you need a certain size, you should go in or order on-line right away. The merchandise are boutique prices which is understandable. I love that the quality of the material and fabrics they use are good and worth the money. Great location, awesome service, and great merchandise with cute prints and styles. I will definitely return to this location.

    We came just in time to celebrate Chinese new year and it was also our year, Year of the Snake! 新年快乐! This was a gift with purchase!

    First Time, But Definitely Not the Last! I had my very first visit here, and what a memorable one it was! I flew all the way to Alaska to surprise my friend's sister for her 30th birthday celebration at Veranda at the Beachhouse--an elegant afternoon tea with a Muʻumuʻu and aloha attire theme. Naturally, my friend wanted to find the perfect muʻumuʻu to wear, both for the event and beyond. At first, we planned to check out Ala Moana for Hilo Hattie's, but after some quick online searching, she discovered Fighting Eel--a name that instantly rang a bell for me! I told her that my co-workers raved about this place, and that was all the convincing we needed. Before my friend flew back home, she called Fighting Eel to check if they had a specific muʻumuʻu in stock--and they did! They also confirmed they had dressing rooms, so we were all set for a shopping trip. When we arrived, we were greeted by the sweetest associate who truly went above and beyond. She made sure everything fit just right, even bringing out another muʻumuʻu for my friend to try--which ended up being an even better fit! Talk about great instincts! To top it all off, she steamed the muʻumuʻu before we left, making it perfectly ready to wear. Such a thoughtful touch! As we were checking out, the associate (I wish I remembered her name--she was wonderful!) mentioned a special Chinese New Year gift with purchase. It was the cutest necklace tucked inside a festive lai see--such a fun surprise! But the real shocker? As my friend and I were chatting with her, we realized we all shared the Year of the Snake--same birth year and everything! What are the odds?! It was such a fun and unexpected moment that made our shopping experience even more memorable. Thoughtful service, a perfect muʻumuʻu, and a surprise connection--Fighting Eel knows how to make customers feel special!

    If you would have asked me about fighting eel 10 years ago, I would have been excited to tell you all about how much I loved the styles and prints. Now that I'm getting close to my mid thirties, the short dress styles are a little too short for me to wear to work and I'm not as excited about the prints as I was before. Maybe I'm just getting old. I saw on IG that this kapolei location opened and even though I found myself in the area a few times with one of my friends who used to shop pretty exclusively at FE, we both opted to walk around target instead of going to FE. Today I went in looking for something specific I saw at the Kailua location. They didn't have the item I was looking for and I didn't have time to ask about it at other locations because I know they only hold items for like a day. Speaking of policies, they used to have a stamp card system a long time ago. Then they went to a computerized points system. Now they're back to the stamps. I wonder if they'll accept stamps from 10 years ago lol. The loyalty program isn't very exciting anyway..., you have to spend hundreds (maybe $1000) of dollars here before you can get $10 off. I never was able to use any points when they had the computerized system. It seems like Fighting Eel is trying new things with lunchboxes, beach chairs and stationary. It's cute, but so pricey.

    I was really looking forward to finding a nice Hawaiian shirt for my partner, and this shop…read moredefinitely caught our eye. It was beautifully organized and had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised (and honestly so happy) to see a small selection of plus-size men's clothing which can be so rare, especially in mall shops. It felt great to see 3X options available! Since the fabric wasn't stretchy, we searched for a 4X and were lucky to find one and my partner loved the design right away. We were both so excited. What ultimately stopped us was the price, it was over $100, for one shirt, which is unfortunately outside of our budget right now. That said, we absolutely see the quality and care that goes into each piece, and we truly respect how they're made. We're grateful for the inclusivity and hope to come back on a special occasion to finally take one home. Thank you for making us feel seen, we'll be back!

    On the hunt for an Aloha shirt that will stand the test of time? Reyn Spooner is a classic Aloha…read moreapparel brand. I believe that this shop is a pop up at Ka Makana Ali'i. When we stopped by they were doing a big sale, with things up to 70% off. They have 3 different styles of Aloha shirts for men, their classic button down, a slim fit, and a 3 button shirt. They also have women's apparel like dresses and shirts and slippers. I know my dad has shirts from Reyn Spooner that he has been wearing for decades- making an Aloha shirt from here a great gift.
