Brand new edition…read more.. Did you know that Fighting Eel has just opened its newest location on Friday March 7th in Manoa and what a stunning shop that literally has it all. You can find them just a block down from Manoa Marketplace right across from Morning Glass they do have five dedicated parking stall for convenience and without a storefront sign don't pass right by this building. This vibrant and spacious layout makes it so easy to browse as it's all nice and organized as you walk in you'll see the various merchandise from coolers, plates and some stationary items along with some fun and beautiful accessories the selection is quite impressive. Lots of clothing to choose from on easy to see racks including some shirts and fun casual wear and baby eel in the back and as I grabbed a few items gift receipt is also given here which makes it great and if you have American Savings with minimum required purchase you make does earn you as discount along with a stamp card for additional savings. The staff is very warm with a lovely greet as you enter all the way to checking out though parking can be the biggest challenge this location does have a wonderful fighting spot. Thank you!

" I came the other day to return a Christmas present my daughter received! The sales clerk would not give my a merchandise credit even it was clearly a SOHA Living item marked $35.80 with NO red line! She said since I did not have a gift receipt or know my daughters girlfriends name so they could look it up, there was Nothing she could do!!! Really? I asked for the supervisor/manager! That's when Rita came to the counter, again asking me all those same questions that I didn't know! Why should it matter?? I have your merchandise, not marked down!! Plus, I showed her a 1/2 page advertisement that was in the newspaper stating "After Christmas SALE up to 70% off". I had come in on 12/26 and there were only signs of 50% off! When I asked, what was 70% off, the girl at counter said it was online! But she couldn't find anything online that was 70% off! So very misleading! FALSE ADVERTISING!! So when Rita said she had to call her manager, I told her to ask about the ad! Well, Rita returns and finally gives me a gift card for $35.80. No tax? I'm sure all my credits have included the tax!! Also, she didn't talk to anyone and just decided to do " the right thing" But claimed she did not give me a hard time! I really like this store and appreciate 2 sisters who went to Punahou started this business and SoHa Keiki but will have to think twice on patronizing them because of the bad customer service! Please note that I gave this business a 5 Star Review on 4/18/2018! Wow, how much has changed in those 6 years! So sad!!

Sure, you could walk to the Ala Mona…read moremall but you're going to spend a ton of money for one toy vs at Keiki 2 Keiki you can let your kids go wild and pick out many things. I was surprised to find that things were priced cheaper than the Once Upon a Child stores we have on the mainland-- particularly the clothes. Speaking of clothes, we found Barbie clothes that normally are $10+ at the store here for only $1.99 new in package! Like new backpacks for like $5.99 and much much more! (loved the $0.99 books). And the quality of the clothing for sale was fantastic for being secondhand-- even the swimsuits. I will say that the store isn't the easiest to navigate (there is A LOT in here) but perhaps that's part of the fun (you could always ask the owner where to locate stuff if you're looking for something in particular). This shop is great way to fill your hotel room with some toys too just incase you have the unfortunate experience of getting sick on vacation or get really badly sunburnt and need a day in (keeps the kiddo happier). Owner was nice too, allowed my daughter to use the restroom. PS If you're a Disney fan there were lots of hidden gems, from Disney pins to Disney purses/packs to jewelry and more!

Where do you shop for quality, pretty sterling silver jewelry pieces? There's just one store that I…read moredepend on for this and it's located right here in our very own Kahala Mall. Sold here are just two kinds of wardrobe necessities: (1) Purses of all types that are more unusual to find that at the same time are fancy and or somehow unique, and (2) Delicate, sometimes intricate, higher-end, fashionable and fashion jewelry sometimes not but often made of sterling silver that also but not always tend to have a Hawaiian Island vibe. I don't mind the island vibe. I'm here for the European-look pieces. When this store is open (meaning that it's not boarded up secured for the day), walk around the perimeter to look in through the glass windows and showcase "walls". When you find what you want, go to the opened end of the kiosk to inform the salesperson what you'd like to see and the willing salesperson will retrieve it for you to inspect. Amazingly they have perfected warehouse inventory as not only is this kiosk small yet impactful but makes for really quick shopping. If you've not got a lot of time, this kind of kiosk shopping is really efficient. They'll put your items in boxes and or ziplock sleeves and a cute brown paper or floral bag, oh and hey, don't forget to ask for that gift receipt if ya need one! It was here I got my favorite pair of dangly sterling silver earrings. Quite pricey at the time but let me tell you about the joy I feel whenever I've got them on. It took me some time to realize I liked them and get over the price when first seeing them, and by the time I realized I'd been thinking about them non-stop, it was already too late to get a matching necklace. Drats! Please learn from my painful lesson :( and get what you see when you find something here that you love! :) Most things sold here are limited quantity and also all sales final. Like any other place it can be hit or miss according to your taste vs. what the shop owner finds thru what her resource jewelry- and purse-makers envision but because you'll never know what you'll find, be prepared for that moment when you fall in love with something pretty, unique, gorgeous, or downright smashing! Located right in the middle of Kahala Mall across from Apple between Compleat Kitchen and Banana Republic, in the main connecting walkway no matter from which entrance you enter the mall :) They operate same hours as the mall, usually until 9pm, or later if it's Christmastime. With this quick and easy unique-finds shopping experience, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this becomes your go-to place for pretty jewelry and purse finds, too!

Just heard as I was watching the Korean Drama that Woorimart has a closing sale! Probably because…read moreof low sales, but they were there for years. Over the years I have gotten a bed quilt, little gadgets and a lot of household items. They have a wide range of items from Korea. Not too many places carry many products from Korea. Some items might be pricey compared items you may find at Daiso from Japan. Korea products are well made. I'm not sure when they are closing, but I want to shop one more time before they close. They have a sale so perfect time to check them out if you haven't been there! It's on Beretania Street on the right side between Kalakaua Avenue and Makiki St ! It's in an old car repair place. Thank you Woorimart ! It was fun shopping there!

Terry K. wanted to buy some tea cups for an upcoming Yelp UYE, and we had time after lunch so I…read moreoffered to take her to look at some places where they might be sold. She had gone to Daiso on Piikoi but had heard that they recently opened a location downtown on Hotel Street. So off we went. After finding parking on Bethel Street, we walked a couple blocks mauka and spotted the new store. Terry found a few tea cups but needed more. Next we drove over to the Daiso on Piikoi where Terry had purchased a few cups recently, hoping they had restocked. No such luck. So we drove over to Woori Mart which is a Korean home goods store. Neither Terry nor I had been there before but it has great street frontage visibility on Beretania just past Kalakaua Avenue, so when Terry said she wanted to look there, I knew exactly where it was, despite the strange name. The store has ample parking on the right side of the driveway as you enter the property. IIRC, that warehouse used to house an auto dealership in the glory days of auto sales. Now it houses a Korean version of a mini IKEA. There were no customers in the store when we got there and I had an eerie feeling in the virtually empty store like we would be rushed by zombies from the "Train to Busan". Happy that the zombies were not gnawing on our legs, I still maintained my alertness because the strong vibe continued. We acknowledged, then ignored the two employees as they ignored us, but I still kept them in my peripheral vision while Terry milled around the aisles for her vials. Yups, her cups. And then it happened. The conversation between the two employees became a little agitated and their voices climbed an octave. So I moved around to the side just in time to see one of the employees semi-flail her arms and then take a couple hops like a bunny on its hind legs. I was a little taken aback but not shocked because it looked harmless like she was excising herself from the slightly malevolent spirits of boredom after working there almost all day. But I was not sure because I did not want to look directly into her eyes. It was at that point that I realized my camera had not eaten so having missed recording that moment, I decided to take shots of the interior. As I turned toward the door to compose my shot, two Korean women walked in and turned right to the back of the store where towels, blankets and mattresses were displayed. If anywhere, I thought, that would be where the zombies would be sleeping, waiting to attack. But the eerie feeling was gone. There were no zombies in the store, and very few customers. And soon Woori Mart may be gone as well.

Shopping in Kaimuki, Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I had heard about Calico Cat, the fabric store, but never visited. I think I couldn't figure out where it was located. I happened to park right across the street from Calico Cat... in a metered street parking stall. Carol is the cheerful owner. She saw that I was confused because Every Day Better by Green Meadows is next door to Calico Cat. Carol explained the sign above that shows the name of the shop closest to each shop - depending on which way you face the sign. Ahhh... Calico Cat was described by their neighbor (Every Day Better by Green Meadows) as having fabric "eye candy". LOL! Yes - if you sew, you know that these bolts of material are very beautiful, whimsical, and unique! They are very inspirational and made me want to sew! Of course, I purchased a lot of material... thinking that Christmas is coming... I need to get a head start! Remember to get a Loyalty Card. Carol can hold it in the shop... among the 1000 cards she already has... filed by last name! Thank you for the free pen! I'll be back soon!
