We were in Waikiki for a few days and when we needed a quick lunch or dinner, we looked at the food court there. We tried a few of the vendors while there. L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is a tried and true place for plate lunches and it did not disappoint. The food was fresh and hot - and as a former resident of Oahu, mac salad and rice is a treat. For a burger rush, we ate the Mahaloha burger - certified Angus beef and again, it was hot and delicious. Their fries were great as well. My brother-in-law asked about a malasadas and told him that it is more or less a doughnut but was brought to Hawaii by the Portuguese who came to work the fields back a hundred or so years ago. It's sold all over the islands now. When I lived here in the '70's, a food truck parked itself in a parking lot and people lined up to buy it. When they ran out, that was it until the next time and it was not everyday. Penny's malasadas was good and delicious. It was hot and sooo ono, as we say it in the islands! There's a price to pay for the delicious food though - and it's not cheap! So go try, yeah! read more

"Get in loser, we're going shopping." ― Regina George, Mean Girls What a gorgeous shopping space right in a central location on Kalakaua Ave! We're talking a four-stories tall, open-air, commercial retail complex. My colleague and I decided to pop in after a delicious lunch to peruse some of their offerings. Kira x Miffy?

A large mall located right on the main thoroughfare in Waikiki. It spans a couple buildings and has large selection of shops and eateries to suit all tastes. They have a food court area as well as other restaurants located throughout the venue. There are multiple areas to just sit and relax and take in the Hawaiian ambiance. They also offer validated parking as long as you spend a minimum amount, with more generous time allowance for locals (3 hr) with the same spend. If you're in Waikiki, definitely worth a stop by just to check it out, though maybe not worth the drive for locals unless meeting with friends or going for something specific. read more

We were walking around Waikiki and came across the Royal Hawaiian Center when we were looking for a little treat. I wanted a mid day pick me up so we were looking for coffee. They have shopping as well as food options. It is beautiful walking around in there. They also have seating that you can sit down at and enjoy.

We went here to watch Rock-a-hula. The dinner was buffet and there was a lot of food. The best for me was the lechon. Its skin was so crunchy and a lot of flavors. Include in the buffet was roast beef , chicken, fresh fruits. Drinks, macaroni salad, rice, fish. Potato dish that I forgot the name, rice. They had their own sauces. Everything was good and it was well organized. Inside the theater, we were not allowed to take pics or video of the show so, I didn't have much taken. Service was good and friendly. Value wasn't too bad. With all the food, you'd be satisfied. The show was very entertaining. In. Summary, it's the history of Hawaii and its music at the beginning until the present. read more

As a whole, I enjoyed visiting this center. When it came to the directory, I only wanted to visit the food spots. I'm not a person who tends to shop in the mall. If I do, it's for the holiday vibes and food court. Before the center got packed, I visited Penny's Waikiki malasadas. I noticed the other two places I wanted to try wouldn't open until later. I decided to explore the center as I devoured the malasadas. Once Mahaloha Burger Waikiki and Wicked Maine Lobster opened, I placed orders to-go. This center has a fantastic selection of delicious foods. If you don't want to go far from your hotel to grab a meal, the center has all you need for your entire trip. read more

My second favorite mall in Honolulu, conveniently located near the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and Waikiki Beach. They have a good selection of high-end retail stores, a food court, and great dining options. There's even a nice courtyard, The Royal Grove, where you can take free hula lessons and enjoy free entertainment. I see kids play around here with families. Recommended stores and eateries to visit: Dean & Deluca- lots of Japanese visitors go there for afternoon tea and merch Miffy x Kira for Miffy fans out there Koho Chocolates- Hawaiian-inspired chocolate souvenir Honolulu Cookie Company- pineapple-shaped butter cookies to take home Junbi- matcha Island Vintage Shave Ice- always a long line Kith Treats- soft serves inside a luxury retail store Kith Banan- frozen banana soft serve with fruits served outside of the building by walking through the beach access Island Vintage Coffee- always a line at 5 am TsuruTonTan- mentaiko ramen Tim Ho Wan- popular dim sum for Filipinos Restaurant Suntory- fancy Japanese restaurant Btw, their restrooms near the food court are labeled in Hawaiian, so remember "Wahine" is for women and "Kane" is for men for anyone coming from the Mainland and other countries. I also hate that they charge over $10 for parking past two hours, but you can get it validated at a restaurant. Prefer to walk from the hotel or take The Bus. read more

The Royal Hawaiian Center hosts live music and hula every night in the Center Court Atrium at 5:30 to 6:30pm. The highlights are the Kawika Trask show on Tuesday night.

They incorporate traditional hula with several dancers and explain every song and it's meaning to the crowd. Be sure to stay to the end of the show as you may get a fresh flower lei put on you to end the night. read more

Really enjoy my trips to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. Always find beautiful themed decorations to match the season: Christmas trees and bows at Christmas to red lanterns across the promenade during Chinese New Year! And I really appreciate the support they show for our military as well as kamaaina. With a mere $10 minimum purchase and identification to support, one can get three hours of free parking. Now that is an amazing treasure in Waikiki. And I have found some favorite places to frequent such as Junbi (best iced green teas and other green tea products), Tsurutontan for delicious midrange Japanese meals and happy hour, the entertainment at center court and the really nice food courts scattered around the Shopping center. Easy to get lost for a few hours in the mall! read more

This is the main shopping center in the heart Waikiki along with the International Marketplace. This center has mostly hight end luxury shops. Tiffany, Harry Winston, Fendi, Hermes, Saint Laurent, etc. all are located in this center. This center also has some of the best dining options.

Chang, Cheesecake Factory, Noi Thai, Wolfgang's Steakhouse, Doraku and Tim Ho Wan to name a few. The customer service center closes at 8pm.

The Royal Hawaiian Center is one of the many malls in the Waikiki area. It's right next to a bunch of hotels and right on the beach so you'll most likely find yourself roaming the shops here at some point. The shops here range from high-end brands such as Apple, Fendi, and Hermes to local boutiques. The mall spans multiple blocks and is connected via sky bridges. There are also plenty of restaurants and a food court across the three floors to satisfy any and all food cravings. They also have a stage in the middle of the mall on the ground floor for live music and hula dancing if you are able to catch it. They have 7 floors of parking lots here and you'll have to buy something at one of the shops to get validation (and you still might have to pay depending on how long you stay here). It's a nice shopping mall to spend some time or money (or both). read more

So much to see! Nice spots for pictures. A variety of different shops (Kate Spade & Tory Burch included). Food court and different restaurants to choose for brunch, lunch or dinner. It's located across the street from H&M. There are also Kiosks on the side of the street which include Island Vintage Shaved Ice. The bad thing about this shopping center is the parking. The parking spots are super small (compact size) and not a lot of space to back out from your parking spot. Other than that it's pretty close by and convenient to walk to if your hotel is near here. I would recommend walking instead of driving. read more

This place pretty much sums it up. It is at the center of Waikiki where the hustle and bustle happens. It is a tourist mecca where people can shop and dine and just enjoy the beachside lifestyle.

I love walking and exploring the shops, restaurants and cafes in every corner of this center. read more

I must say over the years, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center has really evolved a lot. I remembered as a kid, I used to take "The Bus" into Waikiki with my buddies, as we used to go to the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center to play video games at a game room at the shopping center, as well as eating MASSIVE amounts of pasta from pasta buffet at - Kenny Lum's "Spaghetti Spaghetti". Those days are long gone, and now most of the shops here at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center appears to just cater to the tourist, and not so much for the locals. Most of the shops here are geared towards the "high rollers", as some of the names of these shops here are - 1. Fendi 2. Salvatore Ferragamo 3. Furla 4. Harry Winston 5. Jimmy Choo 6. Kate Spade 7. Saint Laurent 8. Tiffany & Co. 9. Tory Burch 10. Valentino Garavani 11. Hermes 12. Cartier 13. Loro Piana For more retail shops, you can check out this link - https://www.royalhawaiiancenter.com/shopping#top If you're not into shopping, it's nice to see there are a lot of restaurant eateries within the shopping complex, as well as an open food court.

This is my destination the day I arrive in Waikiki, not for the mall, but for Wolfgang's Stakhouse on the third floor by the escalator. Best T-bone steak anywhere! And during happy hour, 4-6pm, a great glass of red wine for about $8:00. Other than that, I walk through when I need some air conditioning as I make my way down Kalakaua Avenue. There are a few decent shops here like the Apple Store, Forever 21, Tory Burch, Hermes, Tiffany, and some Hawaiian clothing stores, but nothing that is ever a driving factor for me. If you want good coffee drinks, Island Vintage Coffee has great drinks and some pastries. Also a Dean and Deluca, a large Seafood restaurant on the top floor, and of course, The Cheesecake Factory on the ground floor. I don't eat there but the tourists love it. For families, it is a safe option. The Waikiki Parking garage is adjacent and with any validated purchase, the first hour is free and the additional 3 are just $1 an hour. so 4 hours for $3! For Waikiki, that's the best deal around. And the main reason I come to this mall if I have a car. read more

Royal Hawaiian Center has it all! Lots of great food and shopping options located here. Some of the main shops include Tiffany, Hermes, Fendi, Harry Winston, Saint Laurent, Kith plus a lot of others. On top of the shopping, you can indulge in many different types of cuisines as well. If your looking for something quick there is a food court with a wide variety including Raising Canes, and Mahaloha Burger. On the other side there is also Island Vintage Wine bar. One more level up you will find more dine in restaurants, including everyone's favorite Wolfgang's Steakhouse. Even if you aren't shopping or eating, you can still find enjoyment in just walking through. Most times they will have shows on stage with guest interaction, and it also nice to just sit in the courtyard while you enjoy the ambiance. There is validation available as well. Visit the Helumoa Hale to get your parking validated before you leave. read more

When I worked part time in Waikiki during my college years back in the late 80's, Royal Hawaiian Center (RHC) was quite dingy and not appealing to me. RHC was built in 1980 so it was fairly new but just didn't have much appeal to me. Fast forward 30 years with a change in ownership of RHC and 100 million dollars of renovation, RHC changed its image with a modern look. There are still 3 levels at RHC with 3 different wings of many businesses that caters to both out-of-town guests and our Kama'aina. On the 4th floor they have a large showroom that offers a dinner or cocktail show. I vividly remember Legends In Concert where I used to refer my Japanese guests to this show. Since the pandemic, I find myself coming to RHC more often to offer my support to the local businesses. Today I went to pick up my preordered dessert at RHC. While paying, I noticed a flier advising spend $20 or more at the Paina Lanai Food Court and/or Waikiki Food Hall and receive a local bento bag, where I gladly redeemed at the Helumoa Hale Guest Services on the 1F. Probably the most popular business in RHC would be The Cheesecake Factory, where I understand this Waikiki location is the busiest chain worldwide. Other notable tenants include Apple Store, Tim Ho Wan (a Michelin star restaurant) and Tiffany & Co.. RHC also has a 1F stage where they hold special events, shows and exhibitions. Although the parking in this structure can be tight, I do appreciate the parking stalls that are/were dedicated for takeout orders during the pandemic and for customer parking. I continue to take advantage of their holiday specials where the parking rates are attractive with great validation perks. I also appreciate the automated parking ticket machines where the customer pays the parking fee prior to getting back to their car. This procedure reduces the long lines for cars to exit the structure. Overall, I find RHC a great place for shopping and eating for both tourists and our locals. read more

My shopping experience was so disappointing across the board today! Royal Hawaiian has been hyping their Fukubukuro for weeks. Communication between stores/vendors and guest services/ social media must be nonexistent. It clearly says on their webpage that activities start at 9:30am and participating vendors will START selling bags at 10:00am. I get to Dean and Deluca at 9:30 to stand in line only to hear that they started 3 hours prior to 10am and are sold out!! Strike 1! You should put on your page vendors will begin when they feel like it and call the store to find out when they start! I decide to go to Mana Up, who for the record starts selling their Fukubukuro bags at exactly 10:00am. I grab my bag, head to the register and take out my ROYAL HAWAIIAN GIFT CARD to pay and am told that RHC gift cards are difficult to process and they can't process the transaction. When you receive a gift card for a shopping center, it's my opinion that all stores at that specific center should be able to process a gift card specific to that center. I finally finish my shopping, and go to guest services where they are having a special promotion for lucky bay buyers. IT IS CLOSED!! This is a promotion that they have been hyping all over social media and we are well into the Pandemic. If you are going to Advertise events then you need to make sure you are fully staffed so that in case of Emergency you can still operate. At least update your promotions page .... Two years is enough time to come up with a backup plan or NOT advertise. Advertise the day of, when u know everything is in place so that way your guests are pleasantly surprised there is a bonus to participating instead of pissed they went through all this trouble to shop at your mall and Guest Services is closed. read more
