    View from Joe Lukela park across the highway.

    Convenient location for those on the East Honolulu Hawaii Kai location. Free parking, Satellite DMV, NAPA automotive store, other office buildings and near Outback Steak House. Will need to explore to find out more but definitely a prime location to meet the public needs of a Hawaii Kai residents and visitors. All social distancing and use of face masks required.

    Hawaii Kai Towne Center has various restaurants and eateries to choose from. There's also a GameStop, Ross, and Costco nearby. On Wednesday [7/11/18], my mom has to do some errands at Costco, while I had do a quick trip to Ross. When I was finished, I walked around and hung out by the seaside of the Koko Marina. This patio area had a stage for what I could only assume hosted small concerts. This area is also home to a Farmer's Market on certain days. What I loved was simply enjoying the sound of the ocean and the view of the distant mountains. There were a couple of tables lined up along the ocean's edge with umbrellas for shade, perfect for lunch with an outstanding view. For me it was one of those "soak it all in" kind of moments. What I used to take for granted everyday, is now something I greatly appreciate.

    This center has small shops and a great by the water open dining area. So if you want a pleasant lunch, go and buy your food and then sit out by the water and enjoy the summer shine fresh air and some company. Unfortunately the food is so so and service is also so so. Maybe they are all stressed out by Covd, so I dont take it personally but I've gone to 3 spots in past month and been disappointed by all three experiences. See my individual reviews on why. So I'm giving this review of the shopping center.

    The view, so beautiful!! @ the marina.

    Hint: If this is your first time at Hawaii Kai Towne Center, allow youself time for lunch, get take out and enjoy it at the marina, enjoying your lunch or coffee with a view. A secret of this shopping complex. When I use to live in Hawaii Kai during my teen years, Hawaii Kai Town Center was my favorite shopping complex. I remember when my parents would go to Costco, I look forward to tagging along. I love coming here during my teen years. After high school, I would come here on my own,mostly for Ross and Costco. The great memories I had of Hawaii Kai Town Center. Hawaii Kai Town Center is located in the Heart of Hawaii Kai, A community oriented shopping & dining complex with many family friendly events, ex. annual boat parade, Easter, Halloween, Chinese New Year,and Christmas events. Besides the beautiful marina view, another reason, why I love Hawaii Kai Towne Center, the place is huge and has tons of parking. I never had a problem with finding a stall during my visits. ( Except near the Costco parking lot area) Hawaii Kai Towne Center is very clean with beautiful landscape. The bathrooms are located next to Ross, I noticed security are working hard to keep everyone safe, and I noticed the maintenance crew works hard to keep the towne center nice and clean. Hawaii Kai Town Center is home to the famous Costco Wholesale, besides Costco, there are many shops and eateries. The Towne Center consist of: *Aloha Medical Supply *American Savings Bank *Burger King *BYO Bowls *Costco & Costco Tire Center *City Mill *Diagnostic Laboratory *GNC *Great Clips *Go Wireless *Instyle Nails *Jersey Mike's Subs *Koa Pancake House *NAPA *Panda Express *Ramen-Ya *Ross Dress for Less * Sally Beauty Supply *Sprint *Starbucks *Sushi Man *T-Mobile *Taco Del Mar * Yogurtland Lots of shops for everyone here at this Towne Center. Note: Hawaii Kai Towne Center has 2 other sections, Corporate Plaza and Executive Plaza, The Corporate Plaza consist of: Aloha Petroleum, Aina Imagery, Brick House Personal Training, Central Pacific Bank, Collatral Analytics, East Oahu Realty Inc., Hawaii Kai Satellite City Hall, Intellectual Services, Island Urgent Care, King Kalakaua Center, Monica Ra Salon & Day Spa, Pro Service Hawaii, Roy's restaurant, Surf Paws Animal Hospital, The Firm Pilates, Title Guaranty Escrow Services. The Executive Plaza consist of: Allstate Insurance, Cambe Corp., Diehl & Weger Attorney at Law, Edward Jones, Extra Storage Self Storage, Hawaii American Water, Hawaii Kai Chiropractic Center, Hawaii Kai Family Dentistry, Hawaii Kai Salon & Day Spa, Hawaii Mortgage Experts, Hawaii Pacific Dental Group, Hawaii Kai Towne Center Management Office, Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, Hawaiian Ocean Promotions, Honolulu Home Loans, Kaiser Permanente Hawaii Kai Clinic, Koko Head Denal, Lyle Y. Matsuo DDS, Outback Steakhouse, Periodontics Hawaii, State Farm Insurance, Wakeboard School Hawaii Overall, I love coming here, esp. for Costco, Ross, Starbucks, & Pandas. I am sure there is something for everyone here. Don't forget check out the marina when you are here and enjoy, just like I did during my recent visit, I sure enjoyed my lunch with a view!! #85/100 for 2017

    here's where the bathroom is hidden...

    This is the first time I'm reviewing a shopping center because of their bathrooms, but during the time of this Covid-19 pandemic, I think this review is pertinent. Sometimes when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Luckily, the restroom was open. It was clean, well lit, and most importantly, after you get out of the stall, everything can be operated hands free. You don't have to worry about getting germs turning on the water or getting soap or even getting a paper towel to dry your hands! The only small thing I noticed is that the toilet stall doesn't lock as good as it should... Kudos for everything else! *Extra note: My face mask must work pretty well because their were some ruffly sounds coming out of the stall next to me, but no smells permeated my mask!

    Mala Market menu and hardworking crew. I don't know if they're serving breakfast yet

    When our millennial daughter visited us a couple days ago she mentioned that we have a new sandwich place in our neighborhood, so today hubby and I went looking for Mala Market at the Hawaii Kai Towne Center. It's a cute, clean sandwich shop located in the Center's courtyard/stage area, with friendly, knowledgeable staff working behind a short counter. We ordered a chicken salad sandwich, side of tossed greens and tomato soup to share - because what if it's junk? It wasn't! Chunks of chicken, grapes, walnuts mixed with I don't know what else made for a darned good chicken salad. With assorted veggies and a slice of cheese, everything came together between two slices of grain bread to form a big, delicious sandwich. The salad was fresh and the green dressing it came with was good. I thought the soup was really tart but hubby didn't think so and said it balanced the sandwich well. There were a few white cafe tables and chairs set in front of the shop, with cool breezes and a great view of the marina. All in all a good experience; we won't hesitate to go back and try the shrimp salad sandwich next. Or maybe the roast beef, yum! Actually the Italian sounded good too...

    There are only a few shopping centers located on the east side of Oahu. One of these is the Hawaii Kai Towne Center anchored by Costco and City Mill on the opposite end. There are other smaller brand name shops and other local businesses offering services and food choices. Costco being the giant in this center consumes the majority of parking and it is a very busy place especially on Saturdays and Sundays. Most of the parking stalls on the Costco end are striped to provide comfortable spacing between vehicles but the other end are single striped and very tight. This center has several sections with the main portion being retail then the two separate office complexes and Outback Steakhouse. Eateries in the center offer a good mix of national brand such as Raising Canes, Panda Express, Jersey Mikes and Starbucks. Local options to name a few are Chopsticks and rice, Ramen Ya, Mala Market & The original Roy's.

    Beautiful back area of Hawaii Kai Town Center.

    Hawaii Kai Towne Center is a gem for those who live on the east side! There's a Starbucks, Costco, Hair Salon, few eateries, GNC, Ross and a beautiful view in the back! AND they are dog friendly! It's so popular in fact, that sometimes it's hard to find parking. Hawaii Kai Towne Center also hosts a farmers market and zumba on certain days. If you want to grab some food to go from any of the restaurants and walk to the back near the stage area, there are plenty of tables and seats for you to enjoy your meal and to soak in the view of Koko Marina. I have caught a classic car show and a performance by the two-time NaHoku Hanohano Award-wnning band, Streetlight Cadence at Hawaii Kai Towne Center.

    I like coming to this shopping center not only because it has three of my favorite stores (Costco, Ross and Starbucks), but it's right next to the marina. So if you're tired and need to take a break, take a walk and relax by the marina. This shopping center is split into two sections. The first area has the City & County Satellite City Hall, Police Sub-station, Hawaii State Federal Credit Union, Napa Auto, Doctors, Roy's Restuarant, Outback Steakhouse, and many other business offices. The second area has BYOB Resturant, City Mill, Burger King, American Savings, Starbucks, Taco Delmar, Ross, Costco, Panda, Sushiman and many other eating and businesses. This shopping center host many events from concerts to classic car shows. So come on by and see what's going on. There's plenty of parking, except during the holidays then all the shipping centers are lacking parking.

    I work in the office park in the Towne Center and I love that management and the maintenance team are proud of their property. The place is always clean and well, maintained, and every holiday results in festive, beautiful decor around the place. There is a good amount and variety of food places, retail and utility stores for our little "village" here in East Oahu. The Costco is good, there's ample parking. I also love that our little Town Square is right here on the gorgeous marina and there are always events and fun things being held at the pavilion to entertain us. It's wonderful to grab a bite to eat on the water, and just watch the waves with Koko Head in the distance. We're pretty spoiled here in east Oahu, and this property is such a great, essential block of our little community for all our needs.

Deserted and most likely forgotten, this once vibrant hub of economic activity in this portion of East Oahu has been vastly erased from the community's consciousness for a while. Normally, I would frequent Koko Marina shopping center or the Hawaii Kai Towne center in my outings to Hawaii Kai, but I felt compelled seek this place out just to see Kalama valley, the surrounding neighborhood, and the larger community. I was here on July 4, but clearly the shopping center was not at all a thriving engine of commerce in this area. Located on Kealahou Street, this derelict shopping center is nearby to the Koko Head Botanical gardens, which I included on this day trip to Kalama Valley before heading to Sandy Beach for much needed R&R before returning to work on the day after the 4th of July. Yep, gotta work on a Friday, especially when there's a crapload list I need to get done or I get busted. Anyhow, also nearby are some community parks for sports, and a cute little golf course. Kalama Valley Shopping Center reminds me a little like Aina Hina Shopping Center, but wow, I didn't know it was this bad out here. There is a private parking lot, but as you can imagine, it's virtually empty. Pretty sure it's lone active tenant, Thai Valley Cuisine isn't filling it up packed on the daily, but its good. If you are like me, TheBus route #23 passes by this shell of a shopping haven, but I think that the Thai Valley Cuisine is pretty good. (See review). Not sure what else to say about the Kalama Valley shopping center, since there's not much to review about a shopping village that's lost it's mojo. I should do some research as to why this shopping center is the way it is. Hoping that there is a revitalization plan in the works, just so it will be a better visit the next time around. This mall is like your basic community strip mall that can be a decent vestige of community pride when the investment is there and the community is behind this instead of venturing out to Koko Marina and Hawaii Kai Towne center for their everyday living and entertainment options. There wasn't much in the way of chairs and seating areas around this strip mall. There is restroom facilities here, but under lock and key. Looks like the upkeep isn't particularly good and it probably had lead to the shopping center's decline, among other issues. As mentioned before, I have faith that this shopping village can overcome its challenges and be a spotlight of economic prosperity that the entire community can enjoy. Just not recently, I'm afraid. Just gotta believe and I'll be coming back when that time has come. I do like the architecture that this shopping center sports. Reminds me of the Kona-Keahole International Airport, where the roofs are pyramid in shape. Support local! Unrated.

This small shopping mall sits between Aina Haina shopping center in Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai Towne Center & Koko Marina center in Hawaii Kai. It's a quaint little strip mall, anchored by a church, 7-Eleven convience store, and the Jack in the Box along Kalanianaole Highway. You may miss it if you're not looking for it, but it is a shopping hub, that's basically a food / restaurant stop for anyone and everyone who needs to stop here and pick up daily necessities. With that said, the Niu Valley shopping center isn't really a shopping center, just a collection of restaurants that come together to bring the community some variety in between Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai just so you don't have to travel too far into town to get what you need. I've come here twice already in the year 2020 just to check things out in the area. I noticed a couple of new additions in 2020 April, especially a new Vietnamese restaurant called "Pho Time" as well as two Japanese restaurants, called Café Asia and Gyotaku. Jack in the Box fast food restaurant has been around the property as far as I can remember - as well as the King's Chapel church. The 7-Eleven conveience store has been around for a solid number of years too. If you pass this strip mall, you're missing on a lot of potentially good eats here in east Oahu. The overall experience here at the Niu Valley shopping center can be described as underwhelming at best. While the shopping center is very much open air, it does lack that certain appeal when it comes to closed air conditioned shopping mall venues like Pearlridge shopping center and Kahala Mall, to name a few on the island. I arrived here around 1pm on separate occassions on April 2020 searching for cheap eats. The first time I discovered for the first time - Pho Time, which I assumed is relatively brand new or at least 6 months new. I can be sure that I'll be back to try this place when this pandemic is contained. Both experiences here on a Sunday afternoon seemed to be dead at best, but at least there was a few people roaming about and there was parked cars and a line of cars snaking through the Jack in the Box drive thru lane. Signs of life here on a weekend is nice, especially during a crisis. It was still quiet though, albeit eerie to see. Everything was take out only, but at least the restaurants were open. Just can't sit down and dine in though. Even the King's Church was closed for services. I'm sure it's like that across the island. You probably woudn't think it is a shopping center if you were crusing on by Kalanianaole Highway, but it's here open for your business. Come on by if you are in the area. The good thing about Niu Valley shopping center is that there is plenty of parking stalls here. Plenty for y'all to go shopping and your take out meals during this phase of year 2020. Since services for King's Church won't be held for a while, you can come here on the way home or on the way to work to pick up lunches or dinners whenever you can during this "stay-at-home" quarantine we have in place since March 25, 2020. I'm so grateful that many restaurants are open for take-out to help the community through this tough uncertain time we all are facing. I guess what makes us stronger will help us carry through this ordeal and onward to better days ahead. For me though, the shopping center doesn't feel like a real mall. Just a couple of buildings that is home to a few restaurants and a big parking lot, along with a church within a residential area and Kalanianaole Highway. While not a contemporary shopping center that you know and love like Ala Moana or even Hawaii Kai Towne Center, Niu Valley shopping center serves the community surrounding it without having to travel too far for basic stuff for everyday living. I know I spent about an hour here buying my meals while I was here and checking out the restaurants I plan on coming back to when this pandemic is more under control and we can do siit down dining again. 4.0 stars for the overall experience. 3.0 stars for the asthetic appeal, but the community needs are there. I am glad that there is a Vietnamese restaurant I can come to that I haven't tried yet near home. Support local! B

    There's a Ross Dress for Less in the HI Kai Towne Center, almost 2 miles from my home, and if I…read moreneed something, you would usually find me there on a Tuesday when the senior discount is offered. Ross is a high-quality department and specialty store that offers discounted prices and bargains for many name brands. Because of good purchasing power, Ross works directly with the manufacturers to negotiate the best deals, with savings passed on to the consumer. And there's no fancy advertising. And Ross gives back to the community by partnering with the Boys & Girl Club of America, which helps kids achieve academic success, build confidence, and lead healthy lives. The first Ross Dress for Less store opened in 1982 in CA. Ross is presently in 43 states with the exception of New England and Alaska. The HI Kai store has been operating for 16+ years. While this store is not as large as others in the State, many have noted that the HI Kai store has better products than other stores. I don't have an opinion on this, as I don't normally visit other stores unless I'm unable to find what I'm looking for at the HI Kai store. Ross Dress for Less has almost everything you can imagine: clothing, shoes, accessories, home décor, beauty products, toys, handbags, luggage, furniture, crafts, electronics, bath & bedding, kitchenware, food, electronics. I have used and continue to use Ross for the following reasons: * Toys. You can't beat the discounted prices off of name-brand toys, esp for Christmas and birthday gifts. Be sure to ask for a gift receipt for easy returns. * Children's clothing. I'm always looking for clothes for my grandkids, as they grow so fast and outgrow their existing clothes in no time. * Activewear. I like to wear Nike Dri-fit and other active wear around the house, and Ross has them at discounted prices! * Luggage. I always seem to be looking for the lightest luggage on 4 wheels, and many that are brand names, for upcoming travel. * Bath/bedding. You'll find towels, shower rack, clothes hamper, bed sheets, mattress pads, pillows, and bed spreads in my home, and they're all from Ross! Huge discounted savings! * Paper products. I love the printed tissue papers in varying colors, gift bags, craft scissors, etc. used for gift giving. * Journals. I'm always on the lookout for journals that I use for daily Bible devotions journaling. * Furnishing of condo rental. Ross was a lifesaver when we got our condo unit, as we had to furnish it for rental. Lots of things that were needed: bar stools, kitchen utensils, dishes, bedding, shower curtain, bath towels, small appliances, trash can, cleaning supplies, lamps, pots & pans. * Seasonal. I look forward to celebrating holidays with décor around the house, e.g., spring pastel tablecloths and Easter appliques, Christmas holiday cheer furnishings, Chinese New Year gold/red dragons, etc. I am amazed at the huge savings of items, many brand name and designer names, at prices significantly lower (20% to 60%) than department stores. With the high turnover of inventory, it's important to purchase the items you want before it disappears into the hands of another purchaser. Yes, at times I feel like I'm on a fun treasure hunt, as you never know what you'll find in discovering unique and discounted merchandise with the constant changing inventory! As I usually go first thing in the morning, staff is friendly and willing to help. Merchandise is neatly stocked on shelves. This contrasts with the afternoon at this store and at other locations where staff may be tired, and merchandise has been picked over and is messily strewn on the floor and misplaced on the shelves. Also wished that the front doors open automatically instead of manually opening the doors, which makes it difficult if you have a lot of merchandise or a wagon. And it's usually Tuesday morning that I'm there, as every Tuesday is designated as senior discount day, with 10% off of merchandise if you're 55 years of age or over. Hours of operation are Mon to Sat 8:30a to 10:00p and Sun 8:30a to 9:00p. Ross is located in the HI Kai Towne Center, in the same complex with Costco HI Kai and Raising Cane. Free available parking in the private lot, however, parking may be a premium but spaces open up. Yes, I'm grateful that there is a Ross Dress for Less near my home, and I will continue to patronize them, knowing that I am the recipient of great savings! Thank you, Ross Dress for Less!

    Retail Obsessed Stressed Shopper…read more.. Yup this is my retail therapy and yes there are negative pros and cons shopping here but it's still five star regardless as all I can say about Ross...thank you as they provide amazing finds if you take the moment to browse which is very therapeutical lol! This Hawaii Kai Towne location isn't the largest though I did find some favorite items at this location sometime I think it's the layout as having a smaller sales floor does make it less overwhelming to go through each aisle which is very narrow here finding it frustrating to walk pass a shopper with a shopping cart as some aisle makes it impossible to browse pass them. The staff here is a delight as I bring my purchase with getting a huge compliment CUTE! We chatted a bit and loved the price is a fraction in comparison to other shops. Retail therapy is certainly found here. Thank you!
