Dining and shopping in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Waiakamilo Shopping Center is an open-air strip mall with McDonald's and Firestone on the Dillingham Boulevard end and bars at the mauka (mountain) side. There are many bars here: Club Lilac, Club Eclipse, and Club Lucky Frog... to name a few. I haven't been to any of these... LOL! I have been to Original Pancake House, Lucky Box Restaurant, and Ha Long Pho Noodle House. There's a veterinary clinic and a liquor store that I haven't patronized. I didn't even realize that there was a second level on the mauka end! There are many exits and entrances - one on each end (Dillingham Boulevard and Kaumualii Street) and about three along the length of Waiakamilo Road. Just drive slowly and carefully... Be safe out there!

BEWARE IF ORDERING TIRES ONLINE AND HAVING THEM DROP-SHIPPED TO FIRESTONE FOR INSTALLATION. They…read moredo not all sizes of tires. The Manager there said that they do not have the proper equipment to mount lower profile tires. "We can still do it but your rim may get scratched or damaged". Of course I didn't agree to this and ended up having to put the tires in my trunk and leave. Such a limit in services (low profile tires are not at all rare) is already bad enough from a National Tire Shop. What made it all so worse was but they didn't tell me this until I was there for my installation appointment. Why didn't they work with Tire Rack ahead of time so Firestone wouldn't come up for installation for low profile tires? Also when Firestone received my tires, why didn't they let me know they couldn't install it. Instead, they completing my reservation both online and on the phone. After all, they had my tires for over a week before my appointment day. Or at the very latest, at least when I had checked in that morning and not after waiting an hour when my car actually was going into the repair bay for installation!

One of two buildings…read more.. Right across from Wal Mart is this little shopping complex still standing between some development in this very busy area it's nice to see a couple of buildings home to various local small businesses one is Keeaumoku Plaza and the other is Sam Sung Plaza though both seem to have their own identity it is a shared spot when it comes to parking. Sadly it isn't free but if you're just stopping by to grab a quick take out they usually let you park in a specific stall they'll tell you to park in and I never have issues whenever I do so if not I stop by on a Sunday as street parking is free. Kickin Kajun is the prominent business you'll see but there are several biz upstairs like a nail salon that I've tried to see if I was able to get a service done but they were booked as this convenient location is quite popular with so many biz to choose from I can see why they all come to this wonderful place. Thank you!

Shopping and dining in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. Across from Walmart on Ke'eaumoku Street is Samsung Plaza. It's a two-story building that houses many small businesses. Kickin' Kajun is the first restaurant at the entrance of the parking lot - on the ground level. One of the newest eateries is Pate Vietnamese Cuisine. Another well-known business is Cafe Gangnam, a karaoke bar. Upstairs, there are some hair and nail salons. It's kind of spooky because it's isolated. The tight parking lot is shared with Ke'eaumoku Plaza (which is the building across the parking lot). Some businesses will validate. The first half hour is free. I prefer to go on a Sunday or holiday when metered street parking is free... and after 6:30pm on a weekday and Saturday... Or figure out somewhere else to park.

Our favorite…read morewas going to get a 90-minute Thai massage then eating at Siam Garden (Thai restaurant) afterwards. Sometimes we would pau hana (meet up for after-work drinks) at Eagle Cafe. There were always lots of free parking and last week when we went, we had to pay $7 since we stayed over 2 hours. It sounds like a small parking fee, but the frequency of our patronage to the businesses in this building runs 4-5 times/week. We are now moving our business meetings and leisure elsewhere since there are so many other places nearby. I hope the property manager realizes the financial impact that will come using this new parking vendor....

Shopping and dining in Kalihi, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. This plaza is probably overlooked because it's located on the busy corner of King Street and Dillingham Boulevard. Jollibee is the most prominent tenant, followed by Jiffy Lube on the Dillingham Boulevard side, and 7-Eleven on the King Street side. There are two entrances - one on each side of the property. Note that there's no left turn out from the King Street side... and - no left turn out from the Dillingham Boulevard side. The traffic pattern is basically: enter from Dillingham Boulevard and exit onto King Street. (Although you can enter from King Street... Just drive slowly!) I have shopped at the Dillingham T-shirt Outlet and S7 Icy Bubble (for Cony merchandise). I've gotten takeout from Shiggy's and S7 Icy Bubble. I've dined at Jollibee. Watch out for the sketchy characters hanging around. They're actually everywhere, so... Always be cautious - wherever you are!

I stopped by today to go to one of my favorite dumpling places, Paul's Poppers. It is the only business that I have been to here. I used to go to the KFC that used to be here. Unfortunately, KFC is no longer here. One place that I definitely have to check out is Jollibee! It's relatively new and believe it or not I have never had any of their food! I can't wait to finally try something from there. Besides the street level parking lot, Kingsgate Plaza also has an underground lot. The parking lots are rather small compared to larger malls, so it can take a little maneuvering to get a stall sometimes.

Just be careful because you can enter and exit from both King Street and Young Street. I usually enter from King Street because I know that I should slow down when I'm near the Old Stadium Park (on the right side of the road) which is across the street from Old Stadium Square. If you haven't visited Old Stadium Square, chances are that you will be able to find some good eats here when you do visit!

Many tenants has been here for years before my knowledge like Golden Eagle Chinese Restaurant my absolute go to for a quick convenient bite, also Fresh Bites, Lunar Tea, Niu Softserve Parlour, Aloha Vietnamese Foods just to name a few...saying goodbye to a few like India Bazaar Madras Curry, Sweet Home Cafe, Cocina de Roja and welcome newbie Thai Village. 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!

What are you here for…read more.. I see the low ratings though I think it's a mess in a good way when you have popular tenants you get more traffic and if you do head over during peak times yes you may have issues with finding parking though finding free parking is always always greatly appreciated as you find many lots are starting to charge finding gems like this I don't know about you but is still one the reason we come here but then again grabbing a couple pounds of poke along with my Starbucks run does make it a convenient stop as well. Whether it's a quick stop or dinner with the group Nuuanu Shopping Plaza is a great place. Thank you!

In-between, there's a Supercuts, Paradise Poke, Territorial Savings, and Shinsho Tei (restaurant and bar). It's a convenient place for residents who live nearby! Note: if you need a restroom, get a key from the business that you're patronizing. The restroom is in the corner by the mailboxes and security office.

I guess it's because they have some key places that people go to a lot like LnL's, Savers, Pricebusters, Yummy's, Foodland, etc. It's actually a pretty nice combination of businesses all lined up if you think about it. There's a convenience store, thrift/department store, eating place, grocery supermarket place, etc. Very affordable and money friendly combination of places. What more can you ask for. They have a Taste of Kalihi Festival over here every year which makes it a pretty good area for a block party. Right across of Colburn St. you also have the gas station, Popeye's, Sizzlers, etc. All in the heart of Kalihi. Yelp 365 Challenge #89/365

That's exactly how I feel with this newer part of Kahala Mall where Waialae Bowl once sit connected to McDonald's still sits very deep in my memory of once what it was as many groups would spend a great amount of time gathering for various occasions still remains the same to this day though sadly without the bowling alley. 4618 Kahala is still home to McDonald's but to also a bunch of various business including Kozo Sushi, Hakuyosha, Brug, L&L, Sharetea, Mandarin Kitchen, Jersey Mike's and Caswell Orthodontics along with a great amount of parking just steps away from any of these businesses it's such an easy access along with shaded seating area makes it nice even on this hot afternoon at this clean and relaxing place in Kahala.
