Kapolei Marketplace is smack dab in the heart of everything. This marketplace has eateries, grocery…read morestores and some other shops that may entice you to visit. Parking is free and there are bathrooms, but they will only give the code to paying customers. My only issue is sometimes the parking and the exit get clogged from the stop lights. Other than that, it's a great place to get groceries, crack seed snacks and a quick bite to eat. Popular places to check out: Sushi Bay Da Crawfish and Crab Shack En Fuego Plantation Tavern Pacifico Pizza Napoletana Agu Ramen Julie'z El Mariachi Hungry for the familiar places? Not to fear. There is also: Taco Bell Pizza Hut Subway Panda Express Loco Moco 808 Steak and Shrimp Pho 808 Quizno's Mc Donald's Chili's Games and entertainment more your speed? Westside Comics and Games Fun Factory Gamestop Just need to get some water and groceries? There is Safeway CVS/Longs Drugs Seriously, I could go on. I come here a lot because of Orange Theory Fitness, which is also located here! There are more shops I never mentioned. So if you are wondering what is here, just check it out!

It's a bit confusing as Kapolei Market and Kapolei Shopping Center is separated by a simple traffic…read morelight turn that leads to both centers. As Chili's is the dominant restaurant on the shopping center side, En Fuego and Julie'z Filipino Food are the most notable on the Marketplace side. You have Kapolei Family Medical center and Diagnostic Labs located here. There is also a credit union, food eateries, smoke shop and Fun Factory for the kids to enjoy. A must try is Ono Steak and Shrimp. They are a steak and shrimp place BUT their garlic shrimp is so good! Them sauce is a bit thicker and full of flavor. Another staple would be Koa Pancake house. No explanation needed for this place! A little more shops and this side may be as bustling as its neighbor center. Kapolei continues to grow and I can't wait to see what new shops will join this growing area.

We stopped by on our way back from a day at Yokohama Bay and weren't disappointed. We got spicy and shoyu bowls and nachos, and the fish was so fresh. Drinks are reasonably priced, and they have ice cream too if you want dessert. We sat outside at the tables and devoured them. You wouldn't think a surf shop would have among the best poke on the island, but they do.

The staff at this surf shop went above and beyond with their care for their customers. As we were…read morerenting kayaks and other gear, I got the impression that this surf shop is mainly used by locals who have a truck or vehicle to transport the rented gear where they want. We had over estimated our ability to walk the heavy kayak down to the beach and the owner was very kind to assist us by loading it in his vehicle, while at the beach he introduced us to the life guard because he was concerned as there were strong winds/currents that day, and he also came to check in on us and helped drive the kayak back. We were super grateful for the effort he put in because it truly was exceptional. The boogie boards and snorkel gear were good quality and easy to carry if you're going to a local beach. If you do want to rent the kayaks, just make sure you have the transportation figured out. When we returned we also had some shaved ice which was some of the best we had during this trip. Very refreshing!

All my favorite stores in one place?!? Yessss, please!…read more As a Mom and lover of good deals, my favorite stores are: Target, Ross, Tjmaxx, and Marshalls and they're all at this mall! Not only are my favorite stores here but, they always have fun family friendly events! Since they have a big open grassy field, they're able to have outdoor events here. One of our favorite events is Touch a Truck where all types of construction and service vehicles meet at one place. Kids can touch and go onto all types of vehicles such as excavators, fire trucks, police vehicles, and much more! Overall, I absolutely love coming here! There's also a movie theater, tons of takeout and dine in options and for dessert, Crumbl!

Central Oahu coffee shop gem! Located in the Wahiawa Industrial, Bizia has been one of my go-to…read morecoffee shops over the years :) Bizia has an assortment of coffees and food items. They use Poai by Pono Potions as their latte syrups which I love! If I get a drink, I'll get an iced mac nut latte. HOWEVER, I truly think the star of the show is the SOURDOUGH WAFFLES! It's made to perfection with a crispy outside and soft, chewy inside! You can choose waffles by itself or with fruits. The addition of fruits on top truly elevates it! In addition, the staff is always so kind here! I also just love what the owners mission is and the story behind Bizia's name :) Check it out their IG or look it up! They also highlight a lot of local artists and brands and sell some of their items in shop! Parking: Spacious lot to park Seating: Plenty! A few lounge seating downstairs + work area tables/chairs upstairs WiFi: Yes | Bathroom: Yes Go-to order: Iced Mac Nut Latte or Sourdough Waffles w/Fruits

Multiple things went wrong during the visit. We ordered an iced mocha but received a hot mocha instead. We wanted a strawberry waffle, but they were out which was fine, so we ordered the blueberry. But then later when we followed up on the waffle, they stated they actually didn't have blueberry and only had banana. We had to follow up and remind them a couple of times for our orders: 1) We ordered a breakfast burrito and the worker forgot to put it in the oven to heat it up. It was sitting on the counter for a while, and we had to point it out to them. 2) They didn't start our waffle order right away, and we had to follow up for them to get started on it. They stated that the waffle was "going" but it was obvious that they only started working on it when we followed up. We went on a Sunday morning, and it was not busy at all. We were there for about 40 minutes waiting for the burrito and the waffle. I am generally a very patient person and would understand that mistakes can happen when there's multiple orders and things going on, but aside from one other customer who received her order pretty quickly, it was just us there so it was honestly super disappointing.

I usually park in a specific section with the Cookie Corner, Jersey Mikes, and California Pizza Kitchen right out front. A family gathering at Fun Factory will usually mean a stop also for a glass of wine before and after a pickup if bag of cookies . Doesn't get any easier. Huge parking accessibility for fast in and out and a huge Times Supermarket. I will drive to Mililani rather than stopping at Pearl Ridge for those reasons but it's a definite stop on my way around the island.

Shopping and dining in Mililani, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. If I ever went to Mililani Marketplace in the past, it was before Yelp, and before I can remember... This Shopping Center is probably most known for Safeway. We visited because of Sakura Restaurant. I had a gift certificate from an Instagram Contest in which First Hawaiian Bank collaborated with small businesses such as Sakura Restaurant. Sakura is a stand-alone business. Everything else is like a strip mall. Luckily, Irene M. knew her way around. We walked over towards Subway, passed Super Cuts and Po Sing Chinese Restaurant, and saw a nail shop around the corner, past Meet Tea. It looks like this Shopping Center has some vacant space. I wonder what was here and what's coming...

It is one…read moreof the smaller shopping center in Mililani that has Safeway which anchors it and see many come here to shop though my first visit here was for Meet Tea and you need to know because the signs aren't quite that visible and sadly they no longer sell tea (sigh!) but there are a few other biz here like Sakura which is the reason I'm here because lucky Nadine has won an Instagram contest and I was the lucky enough to experience it all. Subway, Super Cuts and a few other services are available here though what I'd come back for is Po Sing Chinese Restaurant as they seem to have some yummy roast pork and plate lunches here that I never knew existed. Lots to explore in Mililani and this shopping center has some spots that I hope will be filled with more biz to keep me coming back. Thank you!

To this location though I do prefer it over the town location because it just feels so much more spacious and organized though don't ask me where to find a specific item the last time I've been here has been quite awhile.

The signs here are nice and clear so you know what items are found in each aisle the vibe here is just much more mellow and never a long line to check out does make it a calmer experience to shop whether it's for groceries, UH merchandise, luggage for you vacay or just that Japanese health item you can't live without all in one spot.
