Fun place to grab something to eat or hang out with friends. There's lots of eateries like Pioneer, Okame Tendon, Moku's. There are street parking options but unless you come early or at an off time, spaces can be hard to find. There is a paid parking structure you can park in - most places validate for one hour. There's music in the evening and various events hosted there as well. Fun place to spend your evening read more

I finally got to explore this outdoor mixed use space as I was on foot while the spouse was at an appointment nearby. The name plays homage to the former salt ponds that once occupied the area. The city block consists of several buildings no more than a few stories high and its own parking garage on Keawe Street. Tenants are a mix of local restaurants, small biz retail, shops and services. I had a delightful breakfast at Morning Brew. OVERALL: You're definitely supporting local here. read more

A lot of nice shops that I no longer go to because of the atrocious parking vendor. I made the mistake once of staying over an hour and discovered I had to fork over a conspicuous amount of personal and banking information. Then I was charged the listed fee along with a sketchy processing fee after waiting in a line for 15 minutes just to get out. Then, after I left I got a slew of vaguely threatening texts about how I still owed them money (I didn't). I had to go on their website and give them even more personal information just to tell them they were mistaken. They acknowledged their mistake, but promptly began sending me creepy unsolicited texts about "deals" and "points". Sorry, but I'm steering clear of SALT until they go back to a ticket based parking system. read more

Salt has a new parking system that charges a $1 service fee per parking. Now a 1.5 hr parking is like $3 after validation. Some people have even told me that they were charged this service fee when the parking was within the free first hour. Definitely do not like this look for Salt. Salt otherwise has trendy upscale eateries mixed in with lifestyle stores. read more

We came to this shopping center for a night market that was happening while we were in town. It was a great way to check out the shopping center and see a lot of different local food vendors and shops. There was A TON of people and lots of different entertainment and snacks. We got mochi donuts from Aloha Donut, garlic shrimp from Da Bald Guy food truck, and shopped a lot of local vendors for things like jerky chips, pet accessories, etc. read more

If Salt at Our Kaka'ako was a person, it'd be the effortlessly cool, well-traveled friend you secretly wish you could be. This small, yet charming shopping center is a treasure trove of culture, flavors, and aloha, brought to life by Kamehameha Schools. Whether you're here to shop, eat, or simply vibe, Salt delivers divine treasures within a highly artistic setting. Pro Tips for Max Bliss: 1. Treehouse: Ditch the camera phone and explore this gem for all of your film photography needs. Trust me, digital can't compete with the magic of old-school film. Even if you're just here to pretend you know what an f-stop is, this place will make you feel like an artist. 2. 7 Gradi: Unique, locally inspired gelato flavors that will make you question why you ever settled for plain vanilla. Seriously, why, when you can indulge your tastebuds in Ube, Riso, and Lilikoi? So ono, as the locals would say. 3. Moku Kitchen: Come during a less busy time period (midweek lunch) or be prepared to wait to enjoy the fresh island flavors or the delicious cocktails that live within these walls. The amazing news is that if you do have a wait, there's plenty around to explore. Salt is more than a shopping center--it's a cultural experience that wraps you in the warm Hawaiian hug filled with aloha. A must-visit if you're looking to support local, soak up good vibes, and savor the island life. Five stars, because six isn't an option! Mahalo! read more

It was so nice to attend an event since Covid. I met a friend there and with the traffic so bad she was running late. With that said yo be together we ended up being on the 6pm time slot to enter the different stations. It was a little confusing trying to find what was in the schedule so we ended up doing our own thing. Although there is was a map it was a bit small to see everything. As it was getting darker it became a little more challenging maneuvering ourselves around. A number of places were already running out of food so that was a big bummer. But for the places we did go to the staff were so nice appreciative that we stopped by and gladly stamped our card. It was nice sampling food and visiting the different shops I have not been at in Kaka'ako. I did not realize there are variety of various businesses not just food. I always appreciate yelp and meeting other helpers. Ty for a great evening. read more

Todays event was AWESOME! Although we only had an hours time because we came a lot late. LOL! But still the booths were interactive for the Keikis. And then there's A LOT of vendors with foods, snacks & things! read more

While checking out the farmers market and street art in Kaka'aku we came upon the Salt food mall. Unfortunately since we grabbed some bites at the farmers market we were not hungry while we were there. Seemed like there were some nice eating choices there so we will have to revisit this area another day. read more

Went in with no expectations and was extremely happy. I wish there was more time to explore all the shops.

I love coming to place this place. It's every foodies dream. It's comprised of multiple eateries. It's anchored by Highway Inn, Moku Kitchen and The Boiling Crab; the three biggest restaurants. Salon Tiffany, Revolusun Smart Home, Lash Love Beauty Lounge, Verizon and T-Mobile are also located here. My favorite establishments are Pioneer Saloon, Redfish Pole Bar by Foodland and 7Gradi Gelato. The parking rates aren't horrendous. The parking is free with validation if you leave before the first hour. After the first hour be prepared to drop a few dollars. read more

Been a huge fan of SALT, their shops and events, and what they bring to the area/community. They, however, recently updated their parking garage system (metropolis.io) which first experiences have been extremely poor. Multiple issues creating an account, subpar UX (surprising for an established company), not to mention... I have to now have an account (name/number/email/CC stored) TO PARK!?! Not to mention the biggest frustration of getting stuck in line on exit for 15+ mins as multiple uncles and aunties skipped account creation altogether and had to pay manually. Will forgo using this garage unless as an extremely last resort going forward - do better. read more

Shopping and dining in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii... SALT at Our Kaka'ako is a relatively new outdoor complex. There are nooks and crannies everywhere and even an upstairs. The directory is helpful because I can't even tell you where things are! PARKING: metered street parking is free on Sundays and holidays. If you're lucky, you can catch free street parking on Keawe Street. The parking structure at SALT has reasonable rates. It's free with validation if you exit before the hour is up. Personally, I have visited: * 7Gradi Gelato - the space used to be Butterfly Ice Cream * 9BAR HNL - coffee and scruffin * ARVO - coffee * BEVY - nightlife * hank's Haute Dogs - hot dog *Highway Inn - Hawaiian cuisine * Hungry Ear Records - music * insomnia - Cafe * MOKU Kitchen - dinner * Morning Brew - coffee and bagel * Starbucks - coffee * Taco'ako - tacos * Village Bottle Shop - adult beverages There's a wide variety of eateries at SALT. There are many more that I want to visit! I'll be back! Note: if you need the restroom, ask for the code to unlock the door read more

Parking: Easy to find the entrance on Coral Street. Free for one hour. Restaurants give some validation, so it's reasonable. Shops: Many different kinds. Several restaurants. Bathrooms: Several locked (needed code) and was clean. Map: Helps you locate different establishments - necessary because there are multiple buildings and a second story so you could wander a long time otherwise. Walkways between the buildings were clean. I need to come back and check out the establishments here more. read more

I kinda understand what some Yelpers refer to - design of the parking structure. It really sucks when is super busy in the lot, the two roads are narrow and when some drivers drive really quick in the lot, it is easy to hit into each other. First hour is free regardless you have validation or not. Second hour makes the different. Validation rate: $2 and no validation ($3 for half hour). I could mistake with the no validation rate, please check the rate sheet yourself. Most stores give validation ticket. Come early if you don't like busy parking lot, is usually empty and some vendors does open early! Like Morning Brew, Arvo and 9Bar. read more

Salt in the middle of Kaka'ako is it's own community sandwiched between Ala Moana and Downtown it's an artsy urban chill zone with little bit of everything a few small parks with cool playgrounds and basketball court, parking garages and many eateries and unique shops not found anywhere else. SALT and Pow! Wow! Hawaii have us looking not just at the breathtaking murals but fried egg art scattered on sidewalks, chain fence art and more! My favorite is The Barn @ SALT and is called that because it's shaped like a barn, this outdoorsy covered area has seating scattered safely and is a fantastic place to take a break. Follow SALT on Instagram @saltourkakaako for events and info and see what's it's all about. Thank you!! read more

One of the best places to visit in O'ahu - a bevy of food places ranging from breakfast to dinner, to vintage shops that sell old film cameras and vinyl, to places to stay active and fit, to places that you can take some beautiful photos at via murals painted by renowned artists. A must-visit each time I come to O'ahu and Kaka'ako specifically. read more

What an incredible place and surrounding neighborhood! I found this place while on the search for local art, this did not disappoint. Murals and sculpture are intertwined in this neighborhood. I early saw the work of 59 artists working 6 square blocks. The pieces onsite at SALT were lovely and protected from the elements. There were lots of places to sit out site or take pictures. I went during the week so not all the businesses were open. The grounds and restrooms were clean which is a huge plus. Loved it and would go back for sure! read more

New Parking operations: I've been to SALT twice and can't stand Metropolis. The first time using it was difficult and not intuitive. I can imagine older people not being able to figure it out, as I had a hard enough time. I did not like that I had to give them my credit card number and other personal information. They kind of trick you into doing that by letting you in the parking garage, but then making you enter the information to get out. If I had known that before entering, I would have looked for on-street parking first. That's what I did last night so I would not have to deal with it. Couldn't find on-street parking so I went into the garage. When leaving, I had trouble scanning the QR code to get my validation. I accidently hit "never allow" when it asked me if Metropolis could access my camera. I did not think that I needed the camera to scan the validation. It took me a while to figure out how to get the validation to take without using the camera. Finally, the added 99 cents fee sticks in my craw. Why should I pay a fee in addition to the regular parking rate to use an app that they force me to use? Call me old school, but I prefer pulling a ticket. read more

SALT had filled up with businesses prior to the COVID pandemic. It has a nice urban vibe, which is fitting being situated amongst industrial businesses, offices, and condos. There is a nice mix of businesses from boutiques (Milo) to artisanal coffee shops (Arvo) & restaurants (Pioneer Saloon) that offer a melange of products and services. The Barn provides a nice venue for outdoor seating and events - in the future, COVID-allowable. All the COVID protocols are in place...there are several hand sanitizer dispensers in place throughout the premises. Social distancing is in place. Parking garage has six levels and fronts Keawe St. First hour is free without the need for validation. Metered street parking is also plentiful. read more

They have a new parking app where you are automatically charged by tracking your license plate. Anyway, the shops apparently didn't know how to validate so one hour cost me $4 in parking ($3 for parking, and $.99 service fee). Stay away from this place or park on the street. read more

This was such a cute, space and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I came here for a hot dog that I couldn't eat, and found this instead. They have a lot of cute little shops and a performance space. Some of the shops were closed, as I found when I looked for them, and the signage for them should be taken down. A directory would be helpful. They hard a bar, a nice place to find drinks - to imbibe inside or take to go, some eateries, specialty shops and so on. There was enough to keep me there for several hours, well spent. And while everything wasn't perfect, it was good. I got some great gelato, some too sweet chocolate drinks, and an underwhelming lardon dish. I'd like to come back, a bit earlier to get breakfast at a cute little breakfast spot they have. But there's a lot of potential here and we're coming out of a pandemicky space, so I'm hoping that going forward, I will be able to come in and find some food that is suitable for me to eat. Then the space will deliver on the promise it presents. read more

When I first went to SALT in 2017, I didn't care for the complex. Most of the structures were unoccupied, and the grounds were unappealing. It was still a work in progress. While now, you can't say the structures or grounds have changed, it somehow feels much more appealing to me. The vibe is hip, industrial, and semi-grunge, and seems somehow more natural. The eateries and shops seem to fit in well, and they seem interesting enough to make me want to check them out and browse the complex. I wouldn't say I'm a regular, but sorta an infrequent patron, at best. Still, I have gone to Fish, Moku Kitchen, Starbuck's, Sprint, Highway Inn, Hank's, and Arvo. There are a few more places I would like to try. I used to frequent the location (then called 680 Ala Moana) decades ago when my CPA was upstairs, and Little George's Restaurant was on the ground floor. And decades before that, in my teens, we used to go to a pool hall in the complex on the back side on Auahi Street. My most memorable experience in that pool hall was having been there when the vice cops raided the place. One of our friends who dove out one of the windows never made it back to the car and in these days before cell phones or even pagers, we found out the next day that he had run all the way home to Palolo valley! The biggest problem now is parking. While there are quite a number of stalls, there are still times when parking is an issue. My advice is to get there earlier than you need. It may cost a little more but at least you will get a stall. Still, recommended for those who have never been. read more

If you've never been here, it's a greaat spot to check out! This area has restaurants, entertainment, work out place, bars, seats, Starbucks, whatever you're looking for to eat, drink, chill out. Come with a group of friends or on a date and I'm pretty sure your taste will be satisfied. Now parking... there's a 6 level garage but depending on the time it's like you drive forever for a parking stall. For the first time ever I had to go all the way to the top and park uncovered! Apparently at 5pm on a rainy Friday everyone had the same idea. Just make sure you get your parking tickets validated at whichever place you end up at cause you will pay a lot less. MY parking ended up being $2! I came here for dinner at Moku which was super enjoyable. When you are ready to leave go to pay parking first because you will save time on the way out of the garage! There is a parking kiosk right by the elevator. It didn't take my dollars though and I ended up having to pay with a credit card. I admit that was annoying to pay with card for $2 parking but whatever. It was fast and easy enough. Just warning, it can get crowded and parking can get tricky but take your time, make your dining reservation (if you can) and don't rush! No one lIkes to come out to find extra dents on their cars! Just be courteous and patient cause that makes everyone's night better! read more

SALT At Our Kaka'ako - Shopping Centers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Stumbled upon this while my husband and I were walking around a few months ago looking for vintage clothing shops, and we were thrilled to find a complex with some really lovely food options and ambiance. This is a great place to take someone if you want to give them a fun taste of Honolulu. Whether you want a smoothie, coffee, sit down meal, local art, or a boutique clothing store to look through, this place has it. A good one-stop-shop if you only have an hour to peruse and want to make sure multiple people in the group are happy- but you'll want to come back for more! read more

SALT is pretty awesome. Its like a new take on a shopping,community center, performance/event space, art gallery. I remember it being built and also known some people who helped build and design it. I watched all the murals go up by the like of Kamea Hadar, Pow! Wow! Hawaii do their thing. Fashion shows, yoga, musical acts, Pub crawls, Light saber battles, etc. Its just arranged in such an excellent way with so much development and art around it. The space of the warehouse area has as much potential as you can put it. So many restaurants and retailers to choose from. It's just as a whole a great centralized community meeting space. It shines during the events where you're seeing the full potential of its arrangement and location. I hope it maintains its full utilization as the city grows around it. I love attending events like HNL Night Market, which I wish occured more often, seeing the young and old, musicians, local designers, vendors, chefs engaging together. read more

No star for the parking lot. Whoever designed this lot didn't give much thought or tried to utilize every space. It's awful and cars need to wait because you can't fit with another car on opposite side. Sharp angles & turns. Just awful. Worst lot ever! read more

SALT is Honolulu's newest outdoor mall, one that is trying to focus on being the center of a new community in Kaka'ako. While their intentions are good, it is not fully developed even after a year of being open. Kaka'ako itself is historically a warehouse and industrial area, now it's reinventing itself as a residential neighborhood. If this experiment works, I see great things coming to SALT. SALT still is primarily empty, but new businesses are trickling in. The ones found here that we frequent are excellent. My favorite is Village Bottle Shop; a neighborhood bar with a coffee shop feel. There are restaurants, both old and new, that have adjusted to the feel of the area. Hot dogs, light dainty foods, ice cream, American comfort food, and local Hawaiian selections abound. Moku Kitchen is a great choice for a sit down meal. There are also small specialty shops. It is easy to spend an afternoon and evening here without leaving. Again, nothing is cheap here so be prepared. The architecture is one of my favorite things about it. It's a lot of exposed concrete and metal; but it adds vibrant colors. Despite being in a city, it has open spaces and burgeoning greenery. I like the second story with the walkways and bridges. As is true of the whole neighborhood, be sure to check out all the murals; they change every few months in partnership with a local art program. This area was well planned and includes plenty of parking: they have a validated garage, but I do not recommend this if staying for long periods as it gets pricey; validated lot parking along Ala Moana; and street parking, which is free in certain areas, and metered in others during certain hours. SALT is also close to other classic shops and dining areas in the greater area that are easy to walk to such as Honolulu Beerworks, This Is It Bakery, Kaka'ako Agora, and Idea's Books & Music. Their events area also becoming more frequent, so keep an eye out for what's going on. The best way to stay informed is through social media. I'm a big fan of the pub crawls (that include Village, Moku, and Bevy all within 2 minutes by walking). The central courtyard is perfect for hosting people, yet being away from the noise of traffic. They have a giant multi-purpose room as well. Live music is a fixture and easy to hear from all over. Individual businesses have restrooms, but SALT also has shared ones that can be accessed with a code available from by asking. The entire facility is very clean. There is one glaring negative that is often complained about: SALT was founded to aid in gentrifying Kaka'ako; it's expensive and many people who live in the greater area are not able to frequent the restaurants and boutiques found here. A few years ago, all the shops and restaurants here were cheap and simple. With that in mind, for a different sort of experience, or a fun night out, this is a great place to come. read more

Not experienced business establishment. Owner / Manager needs to understand customer service. You have the best chief working for you if you do not understand the physics of your operations and what needs to be done to survive you will never succeed. The night we experienced was far from 5 star tho hopefully you will grow from the experience. There are ways to be overcome mishaps and make your customer know how important their feed back is. Customer beware established is newly opened just don't know how your experience will go. I say give them a year to figure it out and if there still in business give them a try. read more

So I need someone to take me on a date to SALT because I LOVE the industrial / urban feel but haven't had the chance to experience it to its fullest just yet lol. The juice bars are great. I like that there's a Starbucks to help balance the abundance of niche artisan vendors with something cheap and mainstream (gotta have that one shop you can count on for a quick drink and paninis). Arvo is a must for a coffee experience on the opposite side of the spectrum and Hank's Haute Dogs is one of those eateries you can count on for something quick and delicious every time. Other than that, I haven't had the privilege of a sit-down meal and some drinks at any of the restaurants though I look forward to it in the future. The only sad thing about my recent visit was noticing a lot of people not wearing masks while walking around outside or sitting down. Over in the shaded pavilion especially, people were sitting down working on laptops without any masks on (and they weren't eating), I suppose because they think that they're sitting alone and far enough away from others. Someone needs to tell them it doesn't work that way. I was disappointed but probably shouldn't have been because it's town. It's to be expected from people who don't have to live with kupuna and in large polynesian family homes where at least 2 of the 8 residents are immune-compromised. But at the same time, it was still just disconcerting and I made it a point not to walk through the pavilion on any future visits. read more
