I called, and they said that they had them. This place was just down the street. I liked it a lot. The best way to describe it is like a Japanese version of "Dollar General." prices are a little bit more than a dollar, but are very very reasonable. If you need something, there's a good chance they will have it. They have seasonal items, kitchen, wear, cups, dishes, items for the bedroom and bathroom crafting supplies, just a very, very good selection of "this and that. The store is spotless, and everybody was very friendly. I would come back in a heartbeat. Thank you! UPDATE: When I got back to California, I was visiting my sister. Her daughter was visiting from the East Coast, and they mentioned Daiso. I had no idea they were on the mainland, I thought it was just a "Hawaii thing." we went to the local store, and it was just as good as the store that I visited in Hawaii. Daiso is just overall a great store.

However, every interaction I've had with a parking attendant there has been condescending and terrible. They are on power trips. Combined with the clerks who never smile and barely acknowledge your existence when you check out, it's an overall unpleasant shopping experience. I'd much rather drive across town and shop at the Pearl City Daiso. Always lots of parking, the clerks seem happy to be there, and it's always clean and well stocked. There must be a difference in store managers.

There were even a lot of snacks here that I found in Japan which was amazing to see so I grabbed a lot of those. Comparing these prices to other stores around the island, we found that Wholesale Unlimited was the best bang for our buck. The worker (I never got her name) was so friendly!

The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of commercialized Waikīkī. Glowing tiki torches, it captures my every step. Curiosity takes hold of me as my eyes gaze towards wooden kiosks. They're closely knit, all selling a hodge-podge of brick-a-brac island-style pieces geared towards tourists. A jumbled assortment of curiosities, memorabilia and trinkets of remembrance. Cheap shell leis, carved wooden tikis, jewelry of all sorts, handmade items. Displays of bright Aloha attire and accessories complete the shopping experience from stores along the perimeter. Vendors chatting, laughter in the distance. A comforting hum, a laid-back vibe. Unpretentious and deeply welcoming. All centered around a grand, massive 100+ year old banyan tree. Balanced on urban living, it was a connection to the social fabric of Honolulu. Nostalgic, charming, extremely unique. This was the original International Marketplace in Waikīkī. From 1956 to 2013. I remember it vividly. Do you? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I grew up coming to this open-air marketplace. Eclectic shops and a food court. This place had personality, charm, island-style warmth. I frequented this spot from childhood into young adulthood when traveling from the Big Island of Hawai'i and during my university days at Mānoa. Memories with my family as a kid, with my college friends many years later. Having a quick meal as an adult at the International Marketplace food court while employed in Waikīkī. It was a spot for cheap eats in a relaxed setting. I've watched musical diva and Hawai'i legend, Melveen Leed perform many times. My parents still remember watching Don Ho here. At the original International Marketplace back in the day. Precious memories. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now it's a blend of fresh air and natural light on three floors. Polished, refined with modern touches. Still offering a lively yet sweet escape with a fluid layout and an unconfined atmosphere. Reimagined and reopened in 2016. Home to major brands and unique local boutiques. A shopping and dining destination. Exhibits and the century-old banyan tree trace the rich heritage of Waikīkī. Entertainment welcomes visitors and kama'aina like myself to this gathering place. I've dined multiple times on the third floor Grand Lānai. Featuring chef-driven restaurants and local cuisine. Casual food concepts line the Kūhīo Avenue Food Hall on the first floor. Breakfast, lunch or dining under the stars. There's something for everyone. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Since reopening in 2016 after a three-year construction phase, I've returned back a handful of times to the International Marketplace. Do I miss the version I grew-up with? Of course. But I understand why redevelopment was sought. It's prime real estate in the heart of Waikīkī. Physical expansion and a multi-million dollar modernization to capture high spending visitors as tourism and revenue shifts in Hawai'i. Honestly, I've shopped and dined at this modern version of the International Marketplace more times than the one I grew up with. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Revisit the International Marketplace like I have and embrace the transformed landscape. As it evokes deep sentimental meaning, a bittersweet clash of cherished history and modern progress. Take a photo by the iconic century-old banyan tree. Become lured by local boutiques along with luxury ones. Relax, shop, dine or people watch while taking in the view. Here, it's not just about spending money, it's about spending time. A space for everyone to create new memories.

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.

They are a sort of warehouse type store where things are on shelves stacked all over the store. However, everything is organized and the owner knows exactly what he has and where it's at.

My son picked up a wireless keyboard and mouse for $20! Brand new in the box. We found them online for $65 minimum!! They also have a large number of bikes of all kinds and sizes, kids ride on toys, baby items, patio furniture, home decor, and small kitchen appliances. You name it, they probably have it. If not, just ask and the owner will try and get it for you. They get new merchandise in regularly so it's worth stopping in to see what's new. They have a great page on Facebook that shows a lot of what they have as well as new arrivals. I highly recommend you come check them out for yourself or give them a call if there is something specific you are looking for.

Most of the shirts here are customized 88 Tee shirts. However, there were also other designs like Snoopy, Punisher, etc. The shirts are organized and categorized by size and each size has a HUGE variety of designs so you really gotta lift the shirts to open and see them. Aside from T-shirts, they have hats, button-up shirts, crop tees, shorts, everything, no matter the size, newborn or adult. The part that shocked me was that I was willing to settle for an oversized male t-shirt. Then, Tita Araceli came up to me without me asking and advised I make it off the shoulder WHICH I did want but didn't know they do it for you, FOR FREE!!! They use their special sharp Japanese scissors from Japan, literally in a special box lmao. She wasn't making ghetto cuts on the shirt. She legit knew what she was doing, stretching the shirt a certain way to get the aesthetic roll-ups, cut it a certain way. I honestly was going to do it myself but I'm so happy Tita Araceli did it!! IF YOU WANT OFF THE SHOULDER, YOU CAN ASK AND NO CHARGER :) I even tried to tip her and she didn't want it, she was just genuinely trying to help. The t-shirt I got was $31.
