Kaimuki Shopping Center.
Fran C.

I grew up coming to this shopping center all the time..... Through the years, a few businesses have come & gone, but the two main anchor stores - Times Super Market & Longs Drugs have remained steadfast at this small shopping center. Not a whole lot of shops at the Kaimuki Shopping Center, but it has what I need, and the convenience factor is great for me. A few shops that are located at this small shopping center - 1. Long's Drugs 2. Times Super Market 3. Cookie Corner 4. Fantastic Sams 5. American Savings Bank 6. Hawaii State Federal Credit Union 7. Hibiscus Korean BBQ 8. J Hara Store (Gun, Ammo, Fishing Store) 9. Fairwood Drive Inn / Hi Yip Restaurant 10. Makoto Sushi & Roll They also have some doctors and dentist offices in the upper floors (sorry, don't know how many offices are there) Parking can be tight sometimes, as both upper & lower level parking can fill up quickly during prime time hours. There are a few free street parking spaces on 5th Ave., (by the back side of Sacred Hearts Academy). Overall, a nice small shopping center serving the Kaimuki/ Kapahulu neighborhood area.

#smalltownliving #hometown I've grown up in Kaimuki and still live in the area. Been around this place all my life and it always will be. Home is where the heart is, as they say, and the Kaimuki Shopping Center is certainly apart of it. I usually don't come here very often, but if you need an alternative place to do your shopping and dining, the Kaimuki shopping center can be the one to check out on any day of the week. It's definitely a place to hang out if you don't have any other place to be. Whether you love to shop or eat, this shopping center has a small, but limited variety of shops and eateries to quench your thirst. While 75% of the businesses here are offices on the 3rd floor, Times supermarket on the 1st, and of course, Longs Drug store on the 2nd, you can always find something you'd like here. Well, most of the time - at least. I've been coming to the Kaimuki Shopping Center ever since I was a little kid back in the 1980's. Very little has changed here, while there's usually very little business turnover here, you can always bet that Times Supermarket and Longs Drug store anchors this shopping center throughout the decades. It's a commercial hub of Kaimuki town for sure, that's been here over over 25 years and still here standing. The overall experience after many visits over my lifetime have been good. From small kid time to an adult, there have been subtle changes over the years, but it's always usually the same. Just got around to writing a review for it on yelp. Kaimuki Shopping Center is a small vestige of the commercial hub that binds Kaimuki town together, along with Market City shopping center just down the road. Kaimuki shopping center is located at 3221 Waialae Avenue in the heart of Kaimuki town, with McDonald's Palolo and the entrance to Palolo Valley nearby. Traffic in and out of this corridor can be frightful at times, but at least it's controlled and not that bad. Just try not to come during peak times and you should be alright. Most merchants here accept credit cards, which is always a good thing. Not sure about the businesses on the third floor, but I'd imagine so. If you are like me, public transit can be the answer to your traffic woes. Bus routes 1, 1L, 9, 14, come through here and stops off right in front of the shopping center on Waialae Avenue. I always lived for the Yummy's Korean Barbeque place back in the 1990's growing up, but I know they have redone the entire thing. Still there under a new name and management, I think. Also a favorite is the Cookie Corner, one of the mainstays at Kaimuki shopping center. Longs Drug Store is a daily favorite for those who need their fix here as well as getting their pharmaceutical needs filled here as well. Usually, for me, Kahala mall is the alternative mall, but Kaimuki shopping center is almost as far from home as Kahala Mall. Only thing about Kaimuki shopping center is that they don't have indoor theaters for feature films. For those of y'all who love to shop, Times Supermarket is your one stop shop here for your grocery needs. Plenty of parking underground though, as well as on the 2nd level too. 4 stars. From my childhood then to nostalgia, and just everyday needs recently, there's something for everyone here at the Kaimuki shopping center. There's American Savings Bank too on the second level. :) Support local! B

"One of our absolute FAVES in Oahu!!! "…read more Ala Moana Center is hands-down one of our favorite places to visit every time we're in Hawaii . It's the perfect mix of shopping, food, and island vibes -- and the fact that it's open-air makes it even better . Location & Hours: Super convenient and easy to get to, right between Waikiki and downtown Honolulu Most stores are open around 10am-8pm, but restaurant hours vary (some open earlier or close later ). Parking (the BEST part): FREE PARKING!!! Yes -- totally free self-parking with tons of garages all around the mall. There are so many spots, but it does get busy on weekends, so coming earlier is always a good idea . Performances & Entertainment: They often have free live performances like hula dancing and Hawaiian music at the center stage -- such a fun surprise while shopping and a great way to soak in the culture! Best Restaurants & Food: SO many good options Mariposa - great for a sit-down meal Tanaka of Tokyo - always a fun experience Food court - perfect for quick bites Ruscello / CPK - easy and family-friendly Tons of dessert and coffee spots for shopping breaks You could literally eat here all day . Tips & Tricks: Wear comfy shoes -- this place is HUGE Park near the area you plan to shop or eat Come earlier in the day to avoid crowds Make time to just sit, relax, and enjoy the vibe Final Thoughts: Ala Moana Center is always a must-visit for us . Free parking, amazing food, great shopping, and fun performances -- it never disappoints! Whether you're shopping or just strolling, this place always feels like Hawaii .

Ala Moana mall is open-air, tropical designed that merges modern architecture with koi ponds, and a window to the many high-end shops. 2 food courts, the one on the 2nd floor near Macy's seems slightly less crowded. I enjoyed the onsite live music, which highlights talented young performers. I recently caught "LoveJack", who played his cello. His booming, heartfelt music, vocals truly warmed the atmosphere.

L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is a tried and true place for plate lunches and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and hot - and as a former resident of Oahu, mac salad and rice is a treat. For a burger rush, we ate the Mahaloha burger - certified Angus beef and again, it was hot and delicious. Their fries were great as well. My brother-in-law asked about a malasadas and told him that it is more or less a doughnut but was brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese who came to work the fields back a hundred or so years ago. It's sold all over the islands now. When I lived here in the '70's, a food truck parked itself in a parking lot and people lined up to buy it. When they ran out, that was it until the next time and it was not everyday. Penny's malasadas was good and delicious. It was hot and sooo ono, as we say it in the islands! There's a price to pay for the delicious food though - and it's not cheap! So go try, yeah!

A major renovation in 2016 transformed the IMP into a contemporary shopping and dining destination while still respecitng its Hawaiian heritage. The banyan tree in the shopping center is really impressive. A banyan can reach a height up to 100 feet and spreads laterally indefinitely. Aerial roots that develop from its branches descend and take root in the soil to become new trunks. It's really a highlight of this mall to walk around this enormous tree.

High end stores, high end restaurants and other great things like art exhibits. Now that I live in California, I do visit Oahu every two years. At the time when we came here in 2019, we went to a photography exhibit by National Geographic. Now this is something I enjoy. I think tourists could enjoy it too and bring in the modernized look for Waikiki. I have been on the fence about the traditional vendors over these overpriced high end stores. I look at it in a business perspective. Hawaii drives its economy through tourism. We are in the United States of America and you got major cities like New York, Miami, Los Angeles and such. It's competing for more tourists to come to Hawaii. I hate to say this but Hawaii versus Miami? You got people with money that spend at high end stores. People now look at Waikiki like you're shopping on Rodeo Drive. Well if this is what attracts tourists - so be it to help the economy. It is a shame that it has to be this way to survive in this economy. The workers in Waikiki have pride in their job and make an honest living in an expensive state. I do miss the old International Marketplace. It was nice seeing vendors sell things.

Parking here is decent thought you need to be aware and plan your visit during peak time and some are reserved so you must read and be careful parking in certain stalls as the Diamond Head building has a second floor with certain offices that has some reserved stall. Some 20 minutes stalls are super convenient for a quick dash in for some boba tea *yum!* and with a little patience you really don't have a problem parking here as in the evening the street parkings are available as well. Keeping the old as they welcome the new is a way to preserve some of the history Moili'ili has and it's truly a gift. Thank you!

Parking can be tough, and Uber is usually the easiest way to get around if you're hopping between spots. I've parked at the Honolulu Zoo before and walked everywhere I wanted to go, which works... until I get a little lazy and tired . I do wish they offered some kind of bike, scooter, or cart experience to make getting around easier. Full transparency: this review is coming from someone who isn't super fit, so walking can be tiring but despite that, I absolutely love the experience here. The nightlife is so fun, the live music is always a vibe, and I love the bubbles floating around at night. I enjoy wandering into shops to window shop (and sometimes actually buy things), and yes, I still smile every time I see a bunch of ABC Stores lined up. I fell in love with them when I first moved here. I don't come around as often anymore since I live on the west side of the island, but whenever I'm in the area, I really enjoy it. Walking around, taking pictures, seeing the beach, and just playing tourist never gets old.

Our hotel was situated on Lewers Street and I greatly enjoyed being on such a bustling street with good eats, high-end shopping, and lots of art & culture. They even have a free art gallery, frequent pop-ups of booths that sells local goods, and other fun and free entertainment. What really stood out to me was how easy it is to just wander here. No strict plan needed. One minute you're browsing locally made jewelry or handcrafted souvenirs, and the next you're drawn in by live music drifting through the open-air walkways. It feels lively without being overwhelming, like the perfect balance of energy and ease that Waikiki does so well. It also has that effortless day-to-night transition. During the day, it's bright, breezy, and great for a casual stroll or a quick bite between beach time. By evening, the whole area softens into something a little more magical: Music, people lingering longer, and the gentle breeze giving your nighttime stroll that movie magic. It's the kind of place where you say, "just one quick walk," and somehow end up staying for hours.
