This is definitely a great place to stop by if you have someone special in your life who loves cute things and you're looking for a gift.

You can't help as the signage in Ka Makana Ali'i signs are much bigger and higher for you to see as this one definitely captures your attention with a cute bunny on ballon font signage on a building painted purple stopped me in my tracks...window decor not so much so but gosh when I walked in and see all the Sanrio characters that we love and get to see it all in one store is a dream. Everything from stationaries, totes and plushies the cuteness doesn't end there as there's Snoopy, Pokemon and even One Piece section in the back along with an actual character displayed there is really cool! Lots and lots of blind boxes many are $24+ is quite painful but is a unique item though I'm more a stickers kind of gal, my only dilemma is resisting all these cuteness to take home. Thank you!

Besides outfits, shoes, glasses, accessories, and hats for your Labubu, they also have decals and Create Your Own Pen Charms! Everything (like the Dodgers and Warriors outfits) was organized and neatly presented! Service was efficient and friendly! I'll be back for more cute items!

Ever since they closed their Mililani location, this location at pearlridge is unfortunately the…read morelast store standing. Located in Pearlridge Mauka, near Macys, this store is open 10 AM to 8 PM daily except on Sundays when they close at 6. They are an anime store, with a lot of inventory of toys, action figures, and other type of collectibles. They are on the more expensive side, but tbh honest what isn't? You may find a better deal at maybe animation magic upstairs but I feel like Mini Q has a better selection and is geared more towards anime. The workers there are also very nice and helpful. Just as a tip, I just call them to ask if they have what I want in their store or something equivalent. They offer good recommendations when possible and even suggested I check out Razor when they didn't have the item I wanted in stock.

First off, I have actually been shopping here since they first opened in Mililani Mauka. This…read morespecific issue only started when they moved to Pearlridge Mall. I was hesitant on posting this review, but unfortunately this certain situation keeps on happening and I am not going to stand for it anymore. Me and my partner frequently go to this shop whenever we are wondering the mall, and almost every time we have gone and shopped, we are almost ALWAYS being watched... it is very disturbing and disappointing seeing that it seems like they are profiling us. Things to note about us: my partner ALWAYS wears small fanny packs, and me, a purse that is closed at all times. We wear casual clothes, and yet, they continue to stare at us, and follow us around the store. Of course, we had NO INTENTIONS of stealing, and yet them watching us makes us feel like criminals. There should not be an excuse of the employees being "too shy" because this is inappropriate behavior, and again, makes me feel very uncomfortable, leading me to my next point. I will no longer shop here again. The amount of times we have caught employees literally WATCHING US is unacceptable, especially since I have previously worked retail myself, and am always frustrated with theft as well, but just choosing random people to watch without any actual ques or a real reason is just disgusting. There are things that you are trained to watch for when you work in retail, and it seems like there is a lack of that. It makes me sad because I loved your products and what you had to offer, but I am sorry, if I can't shop here without being watched like a hawk, then I can just take my business elsewhere. Please train your employees better and train them correctly on watching for theft in the right way. I hope no one else has to experience this. :(

37 vendors at Pearlridge Center (downtown) in Aiea, O'ahu, Hawai'i…read more.. Located above Longs Drugs and in the Hallmark wing, the Kawaii Friends Fair is a great indoor craft fair with carpeting, free shared parking, convenient restroom, no admission fee, and good air-conditioning! There was a map on their Instagram page - that showed which vendor would be there both days, and which ones would be there just Saturday (7.25.26) or just Sunday (7.26.26). They're so organized! If you spend $10 or more at a vendor's booth, you can get a stamp on the Loyalty Card. Five stamps from different vendors gets you an entry into the drawing for great prizes! Local small businesses were selling handmade greeting cards, keyring, crocheted plushies, clothing, tote bags, jewelry, and more! I'm looking forward to their next event!

FAKE KNOCK OFF PRODUCTS…read more I came here because it seemed cool and the wannabe influencers on socmed said it had good products. Boy were they wrong. Pretty much EVERY single thing in these stores are obvious or well-hidden fakes and knockoffs. Nothing is official. Everything is dropshipped. Before Aliexpress stopped shipping to Hawaii, you could get all of this stuff for literal pennies. It's just dropshipped garbage that they're trying to pass off as quality toys or collectibles. DO NOT support this business filling our islands with cheap and unsafe knock offs. If anything, go on Aliexpress or Temu to buy their products at 5% of the price they're asking for in this store. Disgusting and disgraceful

Cute merchandise at a kiosk on the Ground Level of the NEX (Navy Exchange), Pearl Harbor, Honolulu,…read moreOahu, Hawaii... Everyone must pass by the kiosks at the lobby of the NEX. How can you resist looking at items as you walk by??? You don't need a Military ID to shop at the kiosks (and the food court)! I saw so many Sanrio characters such as Kuromi, My Melody, Pochacco, and Hello Kitty... PLUS, they were tanned! I also noticed a Hello Kitty purse and a bunny stress ball... too Kawaii!! There were no Cony (Line Friends) items... shucks! Well... I know where to find useful, foldable, reusable tote bags... and lanyards... and keychains, towels, t-shirts, backpacks, mugs, fans, bowls, plushies, wireless headphones, insulated tumblers, and luggage tags!

Prices are great as well and to find all these cute items in one area is the real deal and a find. Thank you!

On a visit from a previous year, a friend mentioned wanting to come to a sports card store. I…read moreagreed but, caught up with the activities the rest of our travel group wanted to do, I forgot to fulfill his wish. My travel companion on this trip told me his wish to do this so I made a point to dedicate time for this. In the early '90's, when my friends and I were annually coming here for the Pro Bowl, we'd wander the strip malls along Kam Highway. After stopping at another nearby store, we found this shop coincidentally right by where I was going to suggest having lunch. As my friend browsed, I studied the glass cases and it reminded me of my request for my Bay Area friend to find me a particular WNBA superstar's card. Not knowing the market price, I bought a card due to its high grade. Here is my purchase and another friend gifted card (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=264&select=2HUYa_if69E1-pOb9VNCVw).

Being it's his first hobby grade RC I wasn't ready to go all in on an expensive one. The man that answered was very helpful and immediately knew what route I was leaning toward. He had a beginner friendly option that just so happened to be on sale and available for a super good price. I couldn't pass it up. The buggy came RTR with 2 batteries and a charger with a decent tool kit. PERFECT! We came in and just the sight and smells of the good old hobby shop brought me right back to the days when I got my first one. My son's face made it all worth it. Such a helpful staff that made sure we knew how everything operated and gave us a few suggestions for future trucks I was already drooling over lol. All in all, this is a great local hobby shop that has options for people of all experience ranges. Thank you Ohana RC for the great experience and we look forward to picking up a few more for our collection soon!
