This place has survived for a long time because of their gifts to organize filled with luck & prosperity within a community. I was looking for a sacred buddha that spoke to me and found it at this shop. I had looked else where before deciding. Expression of this unique piece and knowledge of the owners was helpful in my decision (pic attached). It's Burmese jade and the carving is detailed and jade emits so many colors which will change with time as I plan to rub it's tummy often. Thank you Michael and wife. Strive to share your knowledge.

One of Honolulu's hidden gems, this small gallery hosts free exhibits and events showcasing various…read moreart forms by Pasifika creators. With the Festival of the Pacific being hosted in Honolulu this year, you can expect to see some fantastic exhibits coming up! The most recent exhibit I caught was Storyboards of Palau, featuring wood carvings from various artists of that Pacific Island nation. I knew of the storyboards from the few I saw on Guam, but this exhibit taught me how the art form evolved over the decades, from simple carvings to more ornate works that eventually eschewed painted boards for all wood. The gallery also offers family activities to go along with the exhibit, and on the last day you could make notecards and kids cardboard "necklaces" with stamps featuring the stylizations on the boards. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated and such a great extension of the work being done by EWC. If you've never gone, check out the website for the next exhibit and plan to go! Parking: There's a visitor lot near the Kennedy Theater that's free on Sundays - it's the first left after you pass the East West Center!

Glad I found this "jewel" in the mall

" I came the other day to return a Christmas present my daughter received! The sales clerk would not give my a merchandise credit even it was clearly a SOHA Living item marked $35.80 with NO red line! She said since I did not have a gift receipt or know my daughters girlfriends name so they could look it up, there was Nothing she could do!!! Really? I asked for the supervisor/manager! That's when Rita came to the counter, again asking me all those same questions that I didn't know! Why should it matter?? I have your merchandise, not marked down!! Plus, I showed her a 1/2 page advertisement that was in the newspaper stating "After Christmas SALE up to 70% off". I had come in on 12/26 and there were only signs of 50% off! When I asked, what was 70% off, the girl at counter said it was online! But she couldn't find anything online that was 70% off! So very misleading! FALSE ADVERTISING!! So when Rita said she had to call her manager, I told her to ask about the ad! Well, Rita returns and finally gives me a gift card for $35.80. No tax? I'm sure all my credits have included the tax!! Also, she didn't talk to anyone and just decided to do " the right thing" But claimed she did not give me a hard time! I really like this store and appreciate 2 sisters who went to Punahou started this business and SoHa Keiki but will have to think twice on patronizing them because of the bad customer service! Please note that I gave this business a 5 Star Review on 4/18/2018! Wow, how much has changed in those 6 years! So sad!!

This is the same building that has the satellite city hall office. Parking is either on the street or in nearby lots. There is a municipal parking lot in the same building which entrance is on Bethel Street. Parking is cheap. Both times I went, it was on a Sunday. I found the DAC to be so interesting with the artwork displays from mostly local artists. There is a different exhibit each month and the best part, it's free to visit. They also hold art classes there. The layout of the center is a decent size, white walls, and spacious walking thru. They also have their own restrooms which were very clean. In January, the monthly exhibit was about the WWII internment camp in Waipahu as part of the Honouliuli National Historic Site's 10th anniversary celebration. It was informative & I learned somethings that I never knew before. In March the Hawaii Watercolor Society had a member's showing, which was also an interesting exhibit seeing the beautiful water color paintings. Overall, nice experience to check out.

Not particularly well laid out with a table right as you walk in. Seemed clunky. Also - I was bugged that the work was not necessarily level...either the pieces were cockeyed or the labels were...sometimes both. And it was also weird that the labels didn't seem to be uniform...with one (maybe 2?) artist(s) having a QR code. Perplexing. The show itself was good...if kinda redundant.

Shopping in Downtown, Honolulu, Hawai'i…read more.. I've driven past this new store on the corner of King Street and Nu'uanu Avenue many times. The colorful, fashionable displays in the windows were eye-catching. I had to take a look! On March 3, 2026, local designer, Mae Young, opened this new location to showcase her beautiful garments! She had a shop in a different part of Honolulu, but I wasn't aware of it. This King Street shop should have a lot of customers because it's a busy street. Just ring the doorbell to gain access. Mae is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful! She could tell what size I was by holding the dress against my waist. She estimated correctly for my height! There also is a dressing room for a more customized fit. I thought that the prices were reasonable for the quality, types of fabric, and modern styles. Mae also pointed out little purses and jewelry. I got several dresses for upcoming events. I'm going to return soon!
