Tumana was very helpful, sweet and pleasant. She helped me with a very special (wedding ) day for a special friend of mine.

"The rose is a rose, and was always a rose. But the theory now goes, That the apple's a rose, And the pear is, and so's the plum I suppose. The dear only knows, What will next prove a rose. You of course are a rose, But were always a rose." Robert Frost (1874-1963) I forgot just how good Watanabe Floral is.... Been a few years and many miles but they're still the number one florist on Oahu for me. It's staggering the amount of flowers, leis, haku, etc are offered here. Needed some fresh flowers for someone's birthday and I didn't want to play "roses roulette" with the typical less-than-stellar selection at the...ah... neighborhood grocery stores' inventory which is very convenient, but comes at the expense of quality. Ms Emma at Watanabe was absolutely brilliant, kind, patient and helpful with my questions. She engineered a most lovely arrangement complete with 2-dozen South American long stems, baby's breath, and St John's Wort flowers! Not only did they look amazing the day of the event but a week later they were still intact and blossoming slowly. Most other florists the petals start to fall on day 2 or 3. Will be back. Highly recommended. Mahalo nui for reading. read more

I've ordered from this company multiple times because I live off-island and rely on them to deliver flowers to my mom for special occasions and holidays. Up until now, they've always done a great job, but this recent experience for Mother's Day was extremely disappointing. First, the delivery driver brought the wrong bouquet. I paid $209.41 (including delivery), but my mom received a bouquet that was clearly not what I ordered later confirmed to be a lower priced arrangement. I had to call customer service, who then contacted the driver immediately. While I appreciate that they responded quickly, it still took about 47 minutes for the driver to return, take back the incorrect bouquet, and retrieve the correct one from the truck. When the correct arrangement finally arrived, the presentation was still off. The vase was too short for the flowers, making the bouquet look unbalanced and like it was falling out. For over $200, I expected much better attention to detail and quality. On top of that, the company advertised "free delivery," but that only applied to very limited areas on the island. I still had to pay a delivery fee despite the initial mistake being entirely on their end, which felt misleading. Overall, this was a frustrating and disappointing experience, especially for a special occasion like Mother's Day. I've had good experiences before, but this one really missed the mark. read more

Such an easy process from ordering, to customizing your flowers with thoughtful words and hand delivery, to an on-time drop off for my loved ones. Text updates every step of the way were worth it! 10/10 service and quality flowers! Bought the tulip bouquet for next-day Saturday delivery to a nursing facility. read more

Thank you for the beautiful red panther roses. Wife loved them. Happy wife, happy life, amirite? They came out much prettier than expected. I was worried they would be a deep red with black accents to the petals. But instead the roses were a deep red with pink accents. Very pretty! read more

Bright. Cheerful. Full of Sunshine. This photo features the "Wishing You A Nice Day Animotion!" arrangement from Watanabe Floral, Inc. -- a vibrant yellow floral design arranged in an adorable keepsake container. The blooms are fresh, sunny, and beautifully styled, creating an instant mood boost the moment you see it. At about 9 inches wide, it's the perfect size to make an impact without overwhelming the space. It truly feels like sending a little dose of happiness -- and a reminder that flowers heal. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to brighten someone's day. read more

Watanabe Floral - "Wishing You A Nice Day Animotion!" arrangement from Watanabe Floral, Inc. - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Solid choice for flowers and leis. Can be on the pricey side but they are fast, efficient, and convenient. During busy times like graduation they frequent run out of items. I chose them because they were listed as doing the USDA pre inspection for items leaving Hawaii. Turns out smaller lei shops do that also so likely will be using a smaller Chinatown shop. read more

I recently made several visits to Watanabe Floral to pick up some poinsettias for the holidays! Their selection is much more plentiful and vibrant than most other shops we checked out. This place has the best selection and quality of flowers, plants, bouquets, etc... for special events and/or to be given as a gift here in Honolulu. I was impressed with the amazing, gorgeous holiday display at front entrance! Loved it! read more

Watanabe Floral has been a mainstay in Honolulu forever. If you really need flowers or leis this is the place to get them. Recently I stopped by to get a couple leis and an arrangement for a burial. I was very impressed on the beautiful selection of premade arrangements and leis, but I was also surprised on the cost of these flowers nowadays. I purchased an arrangement for $99 and 23 leis for just over $100. It's been a while since I needed flowers so I guess I shouldn't have been so surprised. While shopping I asked a female employee for assistance and was told that she would be right with me. Never happened. Pretty disappointing when you spend $200 on 3 items. I will still come back because their products are beautiful. read more

It turned out really well. read more

Great selection of flowers and helpful staff. They have premade arrangements or you can design your own. There are vases to conveniently choose from. (Or you can go to a Ben Franklin for better pricing). They have premade ribbons for your self made arrangement as well. So convenient. Oh and snacks, balloons, stuffed animals, and other items to add as "additional" for your floral arrangements. They offer delivery as well. read more

I had a dinner function to attend last night and wanted something special for the hostess. Watanabe popped into my mind because of the advertisements I'd seen on television regarding their services and selection. I was out running errands so decided to swing by here. Coming on Nimitz and getting into this business is tricky, you have to turn left at waiakamilo then make a quick turn then right back onto Nimitz and finally a right into the business parking lot. Once in the store there are many small businesses allotted space to showcase their wares in addition to a walk-in refrigerated room to showcase and sell flowers. Everything is clearly priced as retail or wholesale and reasonable. I picked out a Haku lei for my friend, stood for a minute in the marked checkout line and was fetched by a great smiling associate to check me out. Fantastic experience, not as inexpensive as Chinatown but I didn't have to deal with that parking hassle either. Beautiful experience and a heavenly fragrance too. read more

I'm a recent Hawaii transplant to Northern CA and needed lei. I didn't want to wear the purple orchid lei that they sell at Safeway in CA so I ordered two men's lei to be shipped to the Bay Area from Honolulu. I'm an educator and had a whole week of graduation events so I chose a delivery date of Thursday. The box actually arrived on Wednesday morning! No problem because everything was super fresh and packed with extreme care. These folks know what they're doing! The box was super heavy duty. The lei were packed with great care in tissue, newspaper, and foam sheets. A chill pack was wrapped in multiple layers of paper and plastic and taped to the side of the box to ensure that it kept the lei cold, didn't get them wet, and didn't bruise them during shipment. Shipping is very pricey but you get what you pay for. The lei looked exactly as they did online. The $25 kukui with ti and $100 double ti with orchid were both so nice. The orchid lei woven around the maile style ti was also easy to remove once it started going soft by Sunday, which gave me even more opportunities to keep wearing it into the following week. There are many options for lei shipments to the mainland but I figured I'd have the best luck with one of the big companies and I'm glad that I chose Watanabe. I will not hesitate to order from them again. read more

They were so nice to deal with and were able to deliver the flowers I ordered the same day. Arrangement was beautiful.

I've received several arrangements from Watanabe and they've all been so beautiful and last.

Beautiful, fresh flowers and fast delivery--excellent service on Oahu! Highly recommend!

The online ordering process was easy and flawless. Same day delivery or a scheduled day that you choose. Great assortment of flowers to choose from. The arrangement was beautifully done by the expert florists. The complex and multi-layered scent of flowers are nonexistent in most supermarket flowers. Not these! I haven't smelled a more fragrant bouquet before. Delivery was done with great care by a wonderful person. Watanabe Floral delivers a start to finish floral experience. Watanabe has been voted "Hawaii's Best Florist" since 2003. They are artistic professionals that will take care of all of your floral needs. Highly recommended read more

Watanabe Floral - Fragrant Beauty - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

12/5/2023 Yesterday I ordered a Holiday bouquet for my last surviving aunt and uncle first thing in the morning. It was the first time I ordered on line for a flower delivery. It was very easy as there are photos of arrangements for all types of occasions. The price of arrangements seem to have increased over the years but the convenience of adding delivery and a tip were available. I got confirmation for the order as well as when the delivery had been made the very same day. My uncle even sent me a VERY long text of how beautiful the arrangement was and seemed overjoyed. In this case the cost was well worth it. If you check their website they have daily specials and the best deal I saw was on December 12th. Send someone you love flowers for the holidays to make their day. Merry Xmas! read more

I'm just disappointed in the customer service given today to my husband. He went in specifically for Anthuriums for some visitors. The flowers are VAGUELY marked for pricing. When he asked which was which price he was told the ones he bought would be in the $4 size. They charge by the inch for these. Flowers aren't marked as to what color they are nor sizes. When he asked if they would be alright in the car the saleswoman said they'd be okay but when they wrapped them she'd add a wet paper towel to the stems. He went to the register and asked for this to be done to be told NO they don't do that but he could buy a water tube for each flower he's buying for .25 cents each. My husband said no that's okay. Husband was buying a vase and the man said he could give him some water in the vase. So now my flowers are $5 each, unwrapped in a vase to be transported home. The one flower ended up split somehow? Edit *The man flattened the flower to measure it and suspect this is where it split. Some sales people just seem to not be interested in you unless you're making a big purchase. . I know this may feel a bit harsh for this ONE flower But I've had this experience with them before and just tired of the attitude some salespeople give off. EDIT * appreciate Monty reaching out as fast as he did. I give him as a manager read more

Look no further this is the best. They have all your floral needs. Whether you're a planner or last minute shopper. The store is huge and has plenty options you didn't even think were options. They also have fresh Lei's and flowers that I have never seen before. I went here last minute to get a dozen red roses. I ended up getting a dozen colorful flowers, a vase and a fresh pink and white lei. If you go last minute they only offer flower cutting services. From the flowers you pick out of glass fridges throughout store. If you actually schedule you can get a bouquet of flowers done. The store even has its own free street parking lot. With plenty of parking spaces available. You can also buy other gifts here to included Christmas gifts. This is now my spot for as long as I am here. read more
