Upon entering you're warmly greeted & constantly checked over during the shopping trip which is always plus! The store takes in good quality items so you know what you're buying is something they would purchase for their own family. I could easily spend an hour in here just digging through the toy bin, racks of clothes & shelves. Parking lot can get busy at times but hasn't been an issue for me for the times I have been. Can't recommend this place enough when I know you have littles in your life who go thru so many growths & interests.

She's at the age where she changes shoe sizes every couple months and we're not sure she's going to be a Ginger Rogers. The store is somewhat cluttered with lots of great deals. Every square inch is covered with merchandise. The clerk/owner is Aloha friendly and will help you find something. Several other people were shopping for clothes and backpacks. We did find the tap shoes at about a third of the price of new shoes. What was nice is that she could try them on so we could sure they fit right before we bought them. She tried about six pair before we found the perfect fit. (She is a princess, for sure.) We also picked up a gymnastics leotard for her for a couple bucks. The shop has a small shared parking lot with free parking.

Unfortunately, all these stores are set to close sometime in June 2026 due to new development, which is disappointing for the local mom-and-pop shops in the building that will likely be replaced by condos. I strongly hope they will preserve these stores as they are, resisting the push for more condos and apartment complexes. Let's all unite to keep these beloved shops intact and prevent new development.

There was just one clerk there and the reason for this poor review is the way i was treated as a customer. I asked for a recommendation for what is popular and the woman pointed out an item, which I bought. When I went to check out, she was almost hostile, did not crack a smile, say thank you, or anything. When I asked for the gift receipt she said something like, "just a minute" and not in a nice way then kinda tossed the gift receipt at me. The items in the store are cute, but expensive, but I try to support small businesses. I've shopped here before and have never been treated this way. This woman was not a teenager or young help who did not know better. It may be awhile before I stop in here again bit hope their service improves.

She was uncomfortably pushy on other products when the single product I wanted didn't have the correct size. I can clearly see the other options, I dont need to be heckled about them. I also asked for a bag in the end and she was very curt and said "you didn't ask for one". I replied to her that typically a shop will ask me if I want one. Overall, limited selection and poor costumer service. Next time I'll take the time to go across the street to Taj Clubhouse in the Ward Village Shops where the customer service and product variety is at a much higher standard.

I saw the sign where you could get 25% off an item in the window and went in. Maybe it was senior moment but lately I can go into a store for a specific item and leave with something else, only to kick myself when I got home. So when I went to purchase my items I completely forgot about the special. I wasn't reminded about it either. I went to Complete Kitchen and bought a couple of items there. The cashier was telling everyone about their sales and the discounts. So I went back to Up and Riding and asked if the items I bought (over $100) were eligible. They were and she did take 25% off the most expensive item.

I would stock up on socks and sweaters with abandon from the Uniqlos closer to my home in San Francisco. That was why it surprised me that I would seek out this familiar store at the mammoth Ala Moana Center. However, I had seen a local vlogger's YouTube video where he showcased the Hawaiian-exclusive clothing they sell here. Jamie W and I decided to drop by when we were at Ala Moana. Although not at the scale of the Tokyo Ginza flagship, it's one of the global chain's larger stores with an expansive multi-floor space. They offer the Brands Hawaiian Loco line, which is quite a distinct array of T-shirts spotlighting locally renowned businesses like Leonard's Bakery, Hawaiian Airlines, and Zippy's. I even bought one featuring a bowl of Zippy's saimin called Zipmin (Photo 4). I also really liked their line of aloha shirts because designs came from top quality Japanese block prints. I fell in love with one shirt based on Hokusai's "The Great Wave Off Kanagawa". I had never seen one like that before. They even offer opportunities to customize T-shirts and tote bags using exclusive designs from local artists. There's enough here to justify a shopping expedition. If you think one Uniqlo is like another, reconsider and come here. RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/06Oa2Epa6T
