No matter where I am I can always find a Ross, went to grab a few things and walked out with a bag full. In Hawaii most items are for beach but I found some cute shoes and a traveling bag. read more

I purchased an item at the Waikiki Ross and came back about an hour later because it turned out to be defective. I first tried returning it at the Ala Moana location, but the line was about 50 people long, so I had no choice but to return to Waikiki. When I came back, the assistant manager understood my situation immediately and was willing to help me with the parking validation. Then the manager came over and started giving me a hard time about validating my parking, even though I had just bought the item there earlier. I told her clearly that I wouldn't have come back here at all if the item wasn't defective, and that Ala Moana's line made it impossible to return it there. Even after hearing all of that, she still said she would validate my parking "only this time," in a rude and dismissive tone. This was especially disappointing because Waikiki has always been my favorite Ross location, but the manager's attitude completely overshadowed the helpfulness of the assistant manager. Customer service from management needs improvement. read more

This is such a great spot. Literally right around the corner from the main street here. This was around the corner from my hotel and they have so many great things here from Hawaii that you can get cheaper than anywhere else. If you forgot your bikini, I need some shorts shirts cute. Top shoes. They have everything here at great prices. read more

I appreciate making sure no one is stealing from stores, but I'm 6 foot four. I kind of stand out and yet loss prevention here. Continue to follow me through the whole entire store asking me at least a half a dozen times do I need a shopping cart, sir can I help you with anything I can do for you it was continuous, and it was quite frankly annoying as heck. It's a good thing. I had a neat bigger than their annoyance because I still needed to get clothes so I got clothes and I left but I gotta tell you you guys gotta do better. That's absolutely annoying. I don't care if you guys get robbed all the time you need to leave people alone you've got a whole store full of cameras. It's absolutely demoralizing having somebody follow you through the whole entire store when you're just trying to shop. read more

Went to set down to rest my 68 year old legs. Told me i could not sit in the store. I guess they just what those without any health issues buying from this store. Found them very rude. read more

First time at this location. Looks nice with the Hawaiian souvenirs but I wasn't greeted by the security guard. She actually turned her back when I entered which was odd. I heard her greet sobriety ends and that's her job. An employee greeted me but still it gave be a bad vibe. I Didn't see something that was advertised on tik tok so I left Emory handed but if would be nice but to have her cherry pick who she speaks to. read more

Located on Waikiki next to the ABC store. This is one of the best ross stores i have been in travel wise! Clean bathrooms and designer shades on deck! They also sell many hawaii based souvenirs here. I have bought many items throughout my stay here in hawaii and my favorite purchases were the flower earrings which is form of plumerias for $6.99! Price wise some items I have scored for really cheap - cheaper than swap meet prices. Examples are clothing on the clearance rack. Scored items as low as $4.99! Customer service here is decent. They are helpful with assistance if needed. So the items you will find here "Hawaiian" based - are keychains, deck of cards, boxed christmas cards, boxed cards, hawaiian attire sets for man/woman/child, bathing suits, pareos (swim wraps), hawaiian dresses, hawaiian male shirts, tote bags, lunch boxes, luggage tags and straps, neck pillows, quilt sets / blankets, ornaments, snacks, hawaiian car solar boppers (ex: hawaiian hula girl), puzzles, 3d lego like small toys, stuffies / plushies, jewelry (wood, earrings, bracelets, necklaces) , mugs, luggages were the items I saw while my stay. This is a 2 story store the restrooms are upstairs - which is btw clean. The dressing dept staff stated that the store manager checks on the restrooms every hour for cleanliness. They charge for bags here when you purchase items - be mindful. So make sure you bring your reusable bags or you will be charged for bags. Hawaii now charges bags in most stores when you purchase items. read more

Well you can guess right .... Needed another luggage for my trip back to the Mainland as they call California! Too many shopping done in the last 3 days!!!! This location is only less than a mile from our hotel . Found the luggage for the affordable price I can afford but not RED !!! Guess what? I'll paint in the flowers to make colorful ones! This 2 floors of savings store need another week stay to browse all savings I could get!!! Found 2 dresses too that were priced right for my spare coins! Being Senior Discount Tuesday I got 10% savings!!! read more

I visit Waikiki regularly. However, it has been two years since my initial Yelp review. I am glad to say that everything I stated in my first Yelp review of this store location still holds true. If you are a local resident living nearby, this is your local Ross store. If you are a visitor, this store is a good place to visit: if you decide that the beachwear that you brough on your vacation is lacking; if you lost your sunglasses; if you need to buy luggage to haul all of your souvenirs; or if you want some souvenirs. read more

Nice to have the option to shop at Ross, where I usually find more things to buy than I was originally shopping for. As a general merchandise store, stock may vary but there are usually good buys in household items and children's clothes when I shopped. Usually good prices for kitchen items, linens, towels, and seasonal items in my experience Staff were friendly and helpful. Checkout Lines move quickly. read more

The best Ross, there is! Clean, organized and friendly. The only negatives that they took out sitting chairs in the entrance where family members can wait for shoppers so there's no longer anywhere to sit down. read more

A very close friend of mine Marian, turned me onto this Ross store. When I was on Oahu, I would visit Ross at Ala Moana. Until finding this Ross in Waikiki. It opens at 8 AM ,so we try to get there around that time. This store is huge. It actually has two stories. It's jampacked with amazing products from around the world. Everything you could imagine and more is at this Ross store. There's an escalator and an elevator to go upstairs and you can take your buggy. (shopping cart.) The staff is so nice and helpful. They're happy to show you where everything is ,if you can't find it. They have clean restrooms, but you must have someone let you in. There are nice changing rooms upstairs and down to try on your pre-purchases. We like to in the morning for the best choices. By 11am it's packed with people inside. So many great clothing choices, shoes, wonderful cosmetics from Korea. Food, luggage, household decor,and more. It's just a joy to shop here! My friend and I always have a wonderful time and buy so many things. We wonder how we're going to carry them all home. So next time you're in the Honolulu /Waikiki area and you want a good shopping trip ,check out Ross on Seaside Ave. read more

I like this Ross! Lots of Hawaiian souvenirs here. Also lots of clothing selections, less home decor and household items here compared to other Ross stores, but still a good amount. I found a German honey here that sells for double the price on Amazon. It's supposed to be high quality honey! The staff were very friendly and the items from the fitting rooms were put back on the racks quickly. The staff there work hard! I like how they validate parking. They'll give you a sticker. 2 free hours with any purchase from Ross if you park at the waikiki business plaza, the parking structure where you have to go through a corridor before you get to the gate bar, next to all the food trucks. Ross is on the 3rd floor. The parking machine on 3rd floor has been broken for a while, so you'll have to go to 1st floor or just bring your ticket with you as you drive out directly to the gate. read more

Chaotic place to shop but great finds always able to find something you need, staff are frat and helpful

Amazing store. Amazing staff. This particular location gets some of the best Ross inventory! I always patronize this Ross on visits once or twice a year during working retreats. Sort through tour favorite sections , will find some deals on great items . Just picked up some new ray bans , a JBL clip speaker , and top line athletic wear . Special Shout out to Lisa ,store manager and Evelyn. They both exuded true Aloha spirit while assisting with a simple , yet process detailed swap out . You guys are the best ! Shhh. Don't tell anyone ! read more

Today after purchasing an outfit I went to get changed and use the restroom. Figured I'd kill two birds with one stone. Didn't realize that would warrant the manager trying to kill me... read more

Very large Ross compared to the one we go to in California! Dresses are nice, lots and LOTS to look at and they have a large variety of good candles! If I lived in Hawaii, I would totally come here every week! Service is quick and kind and the value of the products are decently priced! read more

The positives: The upper level is much quieter because less people know about it. There's a big assortment of men's clothes, kids clothes, storage boxes, home goods, pet care and accessories, and holiday decor. The workers are friendly here as well. The negatives: The fitting room. I tried every open door in the fitting room and the locks don't go all the way across the door, so you have to hold the door closed with one hand while trying on. When I was leaving, I noticed the tile on the ceiling directly above the left side of rooms was completely moved aside so who knows if anyone's watching up there. There is not a very big selection of women's clothes that are more petite, everything left was mostly plus sizes. read more

Hello retail therapy at an affordable price is just bliss! This Ross is located in the heart of Waikiki next to the Hyatt Centric in the former Waikiki Theater so yes it's massive with two floors filled to the brim you know I'm gonna browse whenever I'm nearby which isn't that very common. Clearly a convenience as many forgot to pack or in need of certain essentials so this location honestly I do rarely find the things I'm looking for Ross does have a great return policy of within 30 days you can return if you change your mind just as long it's in sellable condition so shopping there is always non-negotiable as it's always a find here and it's so nice, clean and organized with the friendliest staff and though I'm usually walking from a nearby errand but there is parking and is free with purchase I believe so check for that much needed therapy and go home with a fabulous find. Thank you! read more

Their Price value and return policy is so easy. You can find so much things you need for a fraction of the price elsewhere.

Found weird items like trash crammed into the backpack I bought. Double check items before you check it out.

It's always nice to find great bargains and things that are discounted and good quality items. read more

We were staying right next door at the Hyatt Centric so I wanted to check out Ross to see what the Hawaiian version might carry. I was shocked to see designer purses right when you walked in - and the purse prices were between $75 and $125! Then I also found a cute dress in Hawaiian print fabric and guess what it was selling for? $6.99!! So a big spread in cost depending upon what you need and what you're looking for! Friendly dressing room clerk. read more

This Ross Location was taken to another level compared to others that I've been to. Literally and figuratively... It has so many items for sale that it required two levels! Prices are reasonable. Parking is available in the garage. The staff are friendly too! I'd be back again in a heartbeat. Dress for less for sure. read more

I am a local residence of Ewa Beach. We came to Waikiki to have dinner. Celebrating a birthday. We decided to come to Ross and check it out. Why is it the typical Ross operated this way? To Two cashiers open and a 100 people online? I am not exaggerating. There's literally 100 people in line and two cashiers open. Register two and register for. this has been an issuefor many years. What is it with your scheduling? Saving money on payroll and making customers wait? Horrible experience no matter what Ross i am in. Whether it's in Hawaii or in the mainland. read more

I am a bargain hunter and this Ross was a treasure trove. Tons of great deals on women's clothing. They had a large selection of both casual and formal dresses. Very affordable prices. They were a little light on handbags and shoes though. I also found men's classic hawaiian button down short sleeve shirts for half the price of ABC stores and other souvenir shops. In the fitting room, you can only bring 8 items of clothing in at once. And they count things like belts on dresses as separate pieces. So if you have a huge haul like I did, it can take awhile to try everything on because you constantly have to rotate all the items in batches. The checkout line was pretty long, but it moved relatively quickly. read more

What a Dream Come True this Ross is. I found the cutest souvenir s here. The selection of clothes are Perfect. I'm going back Sunday. Their were only 2 cashier's. But it's Worth the Wait. read more

There are 2 things that makes me want to shop at this Ross Dress for Less (RDL): large selection and parking. Oh, and did I mention the parking? RDL is a national chain of discount department stores that has currently over 15 locations on Oahu. Their Waikiki store took over the space of the old Waikiki 1 and Waikiki 2 theater spaces. Yikes, my age is showing. The Waikiki RDL store has 2 floors of merchandise and quite spacious compared with other locations. The men's section is quite impressive with a large inventory of shirts, pants, shoes and accessories. There are 2 entrances to this RDL: from the parking garage and the main entrance on Seaside Ave.. At either location you can pay for your merchandise. Just like other stores, don't be surprised to see a large inventory of various snacks while standing in line waiting to pay. This seems like a successful strategy to increase sales while you wait in line. And yes, I've fallen into this trap and have witnessed others do the same. Very smart. Too good. Validated parking to this location is key in drawing locals into this store where they can easily go to other RDL and not pay for parking. After you pay for your merchandise, take your parking ticket and receipt to the 2nd floor cashier to have your ticket validated. Then, step outside to the Waikiki Parking Garage Parking Pay Machine to have your parking ticket processed. Lastly, use that ticket as you exit the garage. RDL validation is good for 2 hours. Entrance to the parking lot is just before you reach Waikiki RDL. It's on the Diamond Head side of Seaside Ave and you pull in the driveway but you need to be careful as this entrance has heavy foot traffic of people going in both directions. If you into people watching, this RDL is for you. With some locals, there are MANY, MANY tourists who also shop here. Please keep in mind that you have to show your patience and ALOHA when waiting in line to pay. Not all tourists speak English so at times you see the cashier struggle with the customers in communicating and this holds up the checking out process. Overall, this RDL ranks high on my list of their numerous locations on this island. I've found the staff friendly and a great selection in their merchandise. 2020 #15 read more

Very popular tourist destination. Friendly staff. Help them out by removing the black hangers and hang them on the hanger rack provided in line, it helps speed up check out. If you're visiting Hawaii.. Please note, there is a plastic bag ban, you can either bring your own bag or purchase a paper bag for 15c or if available, a reusable Ross bag for 99c. Great value for future shopping trips or cheap beach bag. New inventory almost daily. See my tips in the photos for parking.. Ross validates free parking for 2 hours WITH purchase. Bring parking ticket with you and the cashier will validate. Seniors! if you're shopping on Tuesday, inform the cashier. Tuesday is senior discount day. You must ask.. read more

Ross Dress for Less - Line on a Tuesday afternoon..... at a Ross.... Lol - Department Stores Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Convenient location to visit while in Waikiki. This is the spot if ur on vacation and so happened to forget a few items, you will be able to find it at Ross. This store has two levels & huge inventory if things, & lots of luggage to choose from. read more

This is the nicest Ross I've ever been to. 2 floors. Spacious. Organized. Friendly staff. And best part is TWO hours of free parking with validation in the heart of Waikiki. Parking in Waikiki is a pain but with an option to shop here with free parking makes the experience totally worth it. Always love checking out their home goods and packaged food selection for new discoveries. They have such a neat variety at amazing prices. Clean bathrooms available in fitting room as well. read more

This Ross in Waikiki is huge! Why is that? Because this space was a movie theatre back in the day. I remember falling asleep twice in there watching Talented Mr Ripley and South Park. They were boring! I won't be bored now coming here as the Ross here isn't boring at all! This Ross is located along Seaside Avenue, before Hyatt Centric, and across Musubi & Bento Iyasume. There's parking, which you enter before Ross, across Lau'ula St. You can get validation from Ross for two free hours after purchase (of course). Its clean and organized inside with security guards manning the entrances. This store is definitely more geared more towards travel and for tourists related items to go with the plethora of clothes, shoes, and home items. Overall, a nice Ross to come to, but it can get pretty busy because of tourists. The staff are generally friendly and pleasant. You can't beat free two hour parking in Waikiki with any purchase from Ross. Grab a bottle of water and you're good to go! read more

Tuesday is senior citizen discount day, so plan accordingly and take granny. This store has 2 floors, it's very clean, and has lots of merchandise at good prices. They watch you like a hawk for shoplifting, apparently stealing is very common here. They always seem to have plenty of cashiers available, and the lines are reasonable. Don't go to the one across from Walmart behind Ala Moana Center because they are always understaffed and lines over there are miserable. This store is very good, though, and located in a fun area. They sell things like tourist souvenirs, sun block, European cookies and candy, beach clothes and casual clothes, toys, household stuff and suitcases. read more

We ended coming here because hubby needed an outfit for a luau that we are going to. The guy at the front was greeting all the customers but he also told us they close in 45 minutes. Hubby found some nice jeans for $7.00. Not bad. My daughter wanted a dress too so she got a dress. This store has two levels which was cool. The store needs to be bigger for customers to get around. I definitely liked that. I didn't really need anything but we also needed a bulb for our wires so our phones can charge. Thank goodness they had one available. I would definitely come back to shop here. read more

This Ross location is possibly the biggest I've ever seen with it having two stories and generally large square footage. I came here looking for a pair of sunglasses, and any other necessities we may have missed on our second day here in Honolulu. Something you don't see in California is Saint Laurent bag hanging at a Ross, so this was something I had to share! In Honolulu, you can see rows of designer shops showcasing their newest handbags - and it seems like their Ross even carries them too. Security is extremely friendly here, we were greeted as soon as we came in. Generally everyone who works here asked if we needed help with anything, which was really nice and not like the Ross we have back home. If you're seeking Hawaii souvenirs - you won't find them here. You can find clothing, beach gear, holiday decor, shoes, suitcases - but you will not find souvenirs. I have to make this clear because I've noticed people trying to get souvenirs here and complaining on my visit. However, right next door you can find a very cute Hawaiian souvenir shop and a milk tea shop as well! I'm really thankful to have found this location, because we had a lot of essentials that we clearly forgot to pack, so this made our trip easier! There are a lot of department stores further away, so if you're in the area, Ross is possibly the best all in one shop you'll find. The prices here are comparable to most Ross's you'll find, so you won't find any major deals. I will say although they have large shoe racks, the selection isn't that large. I was able to find a pretty cute pair of heeled mules here but aside there was nothing else that caught my eye very much. The second floor you'll find baby clothes, toys, and men's apparel. The entire first floor is women's, luggage, and some decor, so you're bound to find something you need here! The top highlight is how friendly and helpful the staff is here, but I do wish the location had more selection instead of the feeling that you're settling on something. I do think that it's the best bet for affordable necessities, so I highly recommended visiting just to check out the inventory and what's available. Aside, it isn't any different from other Ross's, so you aren't missing much if you don't need anything special. read more

I generally love Ross as a business. I was so excited to visit one in Hawaii. They had the cutest clothes that resembled Hawaiian vibes. I was able to purchase a lot of floral print clothing. Additionally, I found some dresses that were only $1.49! What a steal! The entire was so huge that they even had a second floor. I highly recommend coming to this particular location. read more

The lady at the fitting room was friendly, kind, helpful and very pleasant to talk with. She had the biggest smile and a friendly tone of voice. The security guards at the front, all three days we came here were so welcoming and greeted us upon entrance and even our exit. The lady at the register, Malia, was not. I understand you may hate your job, but I hate paying for something knowing it can be cheaper, so we hate some things but I'm not here to take it out on you so don't take your attitude out on me. I asked a simple question, wondering what the difference is on pricing on the same exact items and you can't respond without rolling your eyes and sighing? Then telling your manager almost instantly like we can't comprehend English? Giving you the benefit of doubt that you may have had a bad day, but hey, I had a bad day too, in paradise on my vacation no less so please don't make it worse. Customer service is a huge part of your job and you did not do very well today. Hope you're okay in life. This Ross is one of one of the cleanest I have ever been to. It's two stories as well so that's always a bonus! More things for us to want to buy. Found some really great deals we couldn't resist. We are going to pack them somehow some way bc the price on them were too awesome to pass up. A must to go to for basic necessities at a lower cost during your stay in Waikiki. Almost didn't want to tell anyone but if I can help you save, why not. read more

We've shopped this location many times over several years and have always appreciated the good customer service. I was particularly struck today by the 'greeter' Michael. He is a natural. Sincerely friendly and warm he greeted each arriving customer in a way that put a smile on their (and my) face! He thanked each departing customer with the same affability and sincerity. What a tremendous example of outstanding customer service, and representative of Ross. We'll definitely shop here again! read more
