The staff are always super friendly when we come, store is always neat and clean. They have sale bins and other local snacks. Parking is good right in front and it's never really full. You pretty much get in and grab all the goodies and get out. Love it here!

Wholesale is definitely a place I will go to when I visit Hawaii as well as online order from them great service. Overall great experience.

i'd like to preface this with : i am not a smoker of any kind.... no cigarettes, no e-cigg's…read more... nothing. BUT i do know great service when i experience it. i went to check out this product for my mother. back story - my mother has been a smoker for longer than i can remember. i've also been trying to get her to quit for as long as i can remember. i know that e-cigarettes are very new, and the effects of them have not yet been fully researched as far as long term. the dangers known so far are specific to the chemicals used in the liquids, and with heavy use, pneumonia due to the "water vapor" that collects in your lungs (c'mon guys.... what do you think the vapor is?). those factors in mind - my mother was attracted to this product mainly b/c my other family members use it, and b/c i wanted her to quit.... this was the compromise. after researching the very popular Volcano Vapor guys, and hearing praise and complaints from dozens of my friends and family about the V.V. product, we decided to keep looking. Smokeless Hawaii was recommended by several of my family members and some friends, so we decided to check them out for a few reasons: #1 - cheaper than V.V. #2 - much less crowded than V.V. #3 - location so how do they compare? - S.H. has a large variety of "juices" (flavored liquids) like V.V. - S.H. is much cheaper as far as product itself, and liquids - S.H. will replace any damaged products, even if it was your own fault they broke!! - S.H. tanks do not leak.... every V.V. user i've talked to complains that their tank leaks.... - S.H. is much less crowded than V.V., so if you have a lot of questions, or want to sample lots of their product before buying, they have the time to give you their attention - S.H. uses a 4 wick technology, that does not require you to spin the atomizer, V.V. uses a atomizer coil that eventually burns out more quickly than the wicks do, meaning you have to replace them more often - S.H.'s liquids are supposedly the only liquids that have been tested by the FDA - if you are a V.V. user, you can still buy juice from them as it can be used in any e-liquid cigarette. i also wanna throw in here - Gerald the owner is SUPER NICE and SUPER HELPFUL.... great customer service!! check out my pictures for more details! they come in a ton of colors, different models, different cases, all kinds of stuff. basically, if you're comparing V.V. and S.H... it comes down to cost and preferred product technology. the main points are Smokeless Hawaii is cheaper, their product does not leak, and their juices have been FDA tested. right now, they only have one location, in the back side of the old social security building in Pearl City.... there is a good amount of parking there, and they are right next door to "Holy Smokes". happy hunting!

Long Overdue: My First Time at Azuma's (And Why I'm Already Planning My Return)…read moreOkay, I have to be honest with you all -- I've been sleeping on Azuma's. For months, people have been telling me about their dried aku, and I kept saying "soon, soon." Well, soon finally happened, and I have nobody to blame but myself for waiting this long. Now, before I go any further -- yes, I forgot to take photos. I know. I know. But here's the thing: the moment that dried aku hit the table, all my food blogger instincts went completely out the window. It was just me and that fish, and nothing else mattered. The dried aku was everything the hype promised -- deeply savory, with that concentrated, almost smoky flavor you only get when something is made with real patience and skill. The kind of dish that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. Absolutely ono. No notes. Next time -- and there will be a next time, probably very soon -- I'm going in for the laulau. I have a feeling it's going to be just as worthy of the word-of-mouth buzz. Watch this space. Azuma's -- go. Just go.

Aloha Kakahiaka from, Hawai'i Nei :) Happy Aloha Friday…read more \000/ Hau'oli Makahiki Hou '2026.... My 1st review here for, '2026, Chee Hooo!! Haha..... It's a bit cold here in Hawai'i Nei today, 65° to be exact!! Lol! Yeah, it's Cold here for Hawai'i peeps, well Imho :) I enjoy Shopping here @Crafts Way (for "Tiare stick Flowers w/Tahitian Pearls), especially after just recently a Wahine @one of our Local Eatery here on Oahu, asked me where did I get my "Tiare" flower from?? That's like the 5th time or even more times, I've gotten that same exact same question from mostly Wahines, either from Hawai'i, & or @Hawaiian Airlines (while boarding our flight, from Stewardesses) & in Vegas & also all the way from, WDW = (Walt Disney World), one of the Happiest Places in the World :). So, since I've always forgot the name of this SHOP!!, Brain Fart moment (lol!) which I now know it's called, "Crafts Way!", in Aiea, I can NOW share this info to any Local Wahine, Stranger or whomever will ask me about MY, Aloha "Tiare flower w/Tahitian Pearl", & be on my merry way, as I can now respond about, where did you get your Pretty Flower (it's a fake Tiare!) lol from, etc, & I can proudly reply & say, it's from, "Crafts Way" in Aiea, where it's located right in the back side of *Cutter Ford*, again in Aiea, on *Hekaha St.*, this place is not hard to find @all!! As long as your familiar where the Aiea area is, & you see *Cutter Ford*, on the far right.....&* here is *Crafts Way* Address below 98-015 Kamehameha Hwy, Aiea, HI 96701, you have pretty much almost reached your Destination here, to "Crafts Way!" :), that'll be on the right side, on Hekaha St. Got lots of prkg here for this Store, U can prkg right in front of the Store too!! Getting back to "Crafts Way", my main thing I enjoy about this Store, is basically their pretty "Tiare Flower" w/the Tahitian Pearl, that's my all time Favorite Flower from here, & also their pretty, "Puakenikeni" flowers, & they are all *fake flowers* lol. Keep in mind, these flowers do come in mini Sizes also, to where you can put them in your ka'a, In the A/C vent area, & or where ever your heart desires to place them!! I like keeping an extra of my "Tiares" in my ka'a, becuz I do leave our hale sometimes without my fave "Tiare", get a lil bummed (Lol!), but knowing that I'll have an Extra in my ka'a, etc, then I can use my backup "Tiare" right from my ka'a & I'm a Happy Camper for the rest of my day/evening, yayyyyy!!! Lol! These "Tiare w/Tahitian Pearl" usually costs, $4.00-$5.00 for one Flower, depending which Sz. You may choose, where I don't like the really Nui =(Big) ones, I enjoy a more Med. SZ. "Tiare". The last time I was Shopping here, right before our last trip to the 9th Isle (10/6/2025), when I went into this Store, I couldn't find any of the "Tiares" that I liked, but not too Worry, becuz the Wahine @the Register told me, I can make them for you, so I told her that's So Cool, I browsed more around the Store, as she was putting together my "Tiares w/Tahitian Pearls together, I bought like 5 or 6, becuz I like sharing some with my Sister Randi :), as we both enjoy wearing our "Tiare" flowers daily!! It's also Cute, to put any flower, right on top of a "Makana" as well!!! You'll also find here, a very much wide Variety of range of Hawaiian Flowers here, (their all fake) lol, from Puamelias, Tiares, *fake hakus*, just keep in mind, their are a lot of flowers you will find here in this "Crafts Way!" Store, including plastic Hawaiian Leis too!! Five Stars from me, knowing I can always come back here for my, "Tiare w/Tahitian Pearl" Stick Flowers, & buy as much as I want, in the Future.... Haha! Lastly, I'm Hawaiian & I don't Usually like "fake flowers", including "fake leis", that's just me, I would definitely enjoy wearing my "Tiare" fresh, becuz the Smell of a real Tiare, is heavenly, just as the "Puakenikeni" Flowers as well, they both Smell Sweet, etc. But, knowing that when you do use a real "Tiare & or a real Puakenikeni", they will pretty much only last a day or two & then they will make (mah-keh). Okay den, all pau again with my long Cray (lol!) Review for this, "Crafts Way" Interesting bright color Store, filled with lots & lots of *Fake Flowers*, Plastic Hakus, Plastic Leis, which I'll always come back here again & again to pick up my "Tiares w/Tahitian Pearl Stick flowers from here!! Aloha Nui!!, from Chilly Hawai'i Nei :) \000/

A spark of imagination…read more.. Crafts Way can guide you to that finished project with a whole garden filled with flowers of all kinds that are loved here in the islands. Located in Harbor Center in Aiea as soon as you drive up it's on your immediate right and with lots of parking provided by the center making it easy to shop and explore the vast selection of imitation flowers from a single stem to Haku and Kukui nut lei. Many are displayed in the classic clear floral container so that you can easily see each item with prices clearly noted with a very clean and organized showroom floor I was quite impressed of the selection and remembered in the past looking for some floral for crafting now know this would've been the perfect place for that and more. Thank you!
