There aren't many shopping centers or marketplaces when driving along Kamehameha Highway along the way to or from the North Shore. The ones that are along the way are quite dated. Having Hukilau Marketplace is a welcomed addition with many eateries and boutique stores. This place is connected with the Polynesian Cultural Center. There's plenty of parking. This is a newer place (opened in 2015). It has a vintage, casual, outdoor marketplace vibe, but everything is clean, open, and spacious. There are many unique eateries and stores that you can only find here, such as Kiwi Style Fish and Chips, Sodabomb, Kiwi Korner meat pies, and etc. Hukilau Marketplace is defintely a very nice pit stop from your drive to refresh and grab a bite to eat. read more

We visited the Polynesian Cultural Center, and the Hukilau Marketplace is right next door. You can order food from each food truck or stand to go, then find a table to sit and eat. The prices are a little high. I hope they can offer more food variety, especially more Hawaii local food instead of regular and common options. Overall, it is convenient if you are already at PCC, but the food choices could be improved. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Most recently, to see if the hype over Seki Slush was valid...it's very good though I only tried one item. Also, went to pick up an online order from Chunky for their cookies that are better than that corporate chain that have a couple of locations on the Isle. A few food trucks and stalls offer food / desserts. Yes, the majority of patrons are tourists...buses line the the lot and entranceway coming into Laie from Hauula. I have neighbors who are also stalkers...but this middle-aged couple are home bound so they can't visit the North Shore...but they can live vicariously through my social media. I recommend this place....even to crazy "Karen" and her Daddi...who is 80% straight. read more

If you're in Oʻahu's North Shore or visiting the Polynesian Cultural Center, Hukilau Marketplace is a worthwhile stop. It offers more than just tourist traps because there's real charm, tasty food variety, and a sense of place. It's especially good for browsing, snacking, or relaxing for a bit between cultural activities. read more

This was a really nice area to walk around. There are a lot of shops and booths to shop at. While a lot of the items found here are expensive, I saw many unique items that would make amazing souvenirs or gifts. Great way to support a lot of local businesses at once. I know they do a hula show here as well. I didn't get to see it, but that would be fun to see given the chance. read more

Too much hype for this marketplace. Flagship restaurant is Pounders - didn't eat there but has mixed reviews. Small shops and other restaurants for sushi, poke, etc. Think giant Polynesian food court. read more

This marketplace is well planned out. The stalls and shops have a reasonable amount of space throughout the area. The signage is clear and not to overwhelming. The restrooms were very well maintained and clean. I appreciated the variety of stalls and shops as well as food options both sit down or food truck options. read more

Hukilau Marketplace is located next to the Polynesian Cultural Center that offers food trucks, and restaurant, food stands, clothing, jewelry, etc. Sure, it's a tourist spot but it's neat to walk around and learn, eat, and just enjoy! read more

Our hotel was conveniently located next to the Hukilau Marketplace, so we were able to walk to the market in a couple minutes. They have a bunch of vendor stalls for restaurants and shopping, so you could easily spend a few hours here. It wasn't that packed when we visited around dinner time which was a plus, we ended up dining and checking out a few shops. Great place to walk around and explore one of the gems in Laie! Best, Charlie read more

cute place to walk around the check out some food trucks and little shops. Its well organized with shops for everyone ... souvenir shopping, jewelry, etc It's connected to the Polynesian Cultural Center and if you are going to catch a show there, come early or stay late to see what the marketplace has to offer. Everyone was friendly and there's a cool things to see and yummy treats to eat! read more

Oahu has changed so much in a great way, so much more places to go to and 1 week trip wouldn't be enough. PCC is one of the must-see places on Oahu if you haven't been yet. Hukilau Marketplace is next to Polynesian Cultural Center and last time I went to PCC, this market wasn't around yet. It was so nice to see that they've added this place...they have souvenir stores, restaurants and food trucks! It's a cute hangout place, I love it! read more

Located right in front of the Polynesian Cuktural Center, there are several foot carts and restaurants offering a variety of food and smoothies, ice and deserts. Tita's Grill, made famous by Guy Fieri, is located here. Around the food carts are several tables of all sizes so whether you are alone or with a large group, there is plenty of seating. If you are shopping for souvenirs, Goo's Plantation Store has you covered. They have all the common Hawaiian food items and some unique, like dark chocolate covered pineapple. Wooden bowls and cutting boards, beach towels, magnets, t-shirts, jewelry - everything you see in the smaller stores but all located here. Hapa Home is filled with home decor and gift items, all with a beachy theme. Pillows, ceramics, glassware, serving platters, wooden bowls, small pieces of furniture, jewelry and more. Plenty of parking, and it's free. Stop here before going to the Polynesian Cultural Center or in your way to the North Shore. read more

Absolutely love this place and really great prices all around. Everyone was super helpful and friendly and the service was great. They had a great selection of pareos (sarong) and the price was really great. I liked it so much. I got a couple of them. I thought I'd find more on the island or even in Kauai and they were thin and backing was lighter almost like someone took a piece of fabric and just cut it and made a sarong..... but not this place! I can't say they were the best for the shaved ice, but it was pretty good. There was a lot of variety of restaurants and shops. When I go back, I'll definitely go there. read more

We loved our time at the Hukilau Market and PCC. While we had a few missteps with the food trucks and their fare, we found the market itself well-stocked and full of clever and interesting items. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Items were priced consistent with the O'ahu cost of living on North Shore. read more

Right outside the PCC. Lots of cute little vendors selling trinkets and souvenirs. Plenty of food options. Clean and safe. read more

It's a little touristy for me (says the tourist), but we saw it from the road and had to stop. It's a cute place to visit. This is connected to the Polynesian Cultural Center, but what's good about this one is it has everything you probably want in touristy items: Food, candy, jewelry, souvenirs, etc., and restrooms! I noticed some of the food trucks as well, which looked inviting. Too bad we were full, the malasadas truck looked pretty good! read more

I never knew this awesome place existed! lots of choices of places to have lunch, and many refreshing ice cold drinks and treats to help cool off while touring here. It's far from my home town, but so worth the drive and visit. It was crowded, but still lots of places to sit and relax. Lots of souvenirs that all tourists love. Next return, I'm wearing walking shoes so I can explore more! read more

As we were staying just right next door, we decided to take a peek at what dining options there were as we were a bit soaked and tired and hungry from our car trip over. P A R K I N G As this is the "Downtown Disney"-esque style spot for the Polynesian Center, there's a lot of parking (two huge lots) and it's all free which is nice. We actually considered parking here as our hotel charged for parking, but was unsure how legal that would be! D I N I N G There are several options. Mainly a lot of stationary "food trucks" on premises with your typical Hawaiian fare as well as Thai, Mexican, and of course desserts. There's also a couple sit in restaurants and of course the famous Polynesian luau buffet but of course that's a little more pricey. O V E R A L L It was nice to walk around the area. The food options wasn't to our liking and we ended up driving a little bit a ways to get some burgers at Seven Brothers. It's also a nice spot to stretch your legs and take a potty break before heading to your home or next destination. read more

If you're looking for a throwback outdoor mall, this is a good place. We came here looking for lunch and were not disappointed. There are a lot of good restaurants and shops. We ate at Pounders and also got a Kona ice from that stand. We had an exchange at the Na Hoku store. We browsed the gift shops and considered buying items. It may be a bit touristy but I'd still go here as a local because the food looks really good. There was plenty of parking and a lot of great options for food and desserts. Definitely worth going here. There aren't a lot of other options in the area. read more

This is the closest thing you'll get to a night market here in this area. There's plenty of shopping and activities you can do in this area, it's better if you go at night. Papaya Vanilla Ice Cream @ Real fruit Ice Cream 8/10 - This was made fresh right in front of me! The cold chunks of papaya was so yummy and fresh. The vanilla ice cream was creamy and not too sweet, the sweetness mostly came from the papaya. I'd prefer this over the dole whip, that's saying a lot. IG @ hweedafoodie for more reviews!! read more

Hukilau Marketplace - Papaya Vanilla Ice Cream @ Real fruit Ice Cream - Shopping Centers Near Me - Laie, Hawaii

This marketplace has a lot to offer by way of shopping and food. We walked around and enjoyed a few very large, unique, and very well kept gift shops. There were a ton of food, ice cream, dole whip, and other unique food options, including a few food trucks. If you plan to eat and see the marketplace, I'd say there's about 1-2 hrs (max) worth to see here. The marketplace is connected to/part of the Polynesian Cultural Center. There is a day time garden/park experience including students from several polynesian cultures with booths showing and talking about their culture, some including dancing or other small activities. The night time activity seemed to be like an indoor fire or polynesian dancing show. While we wanted to experience these, both are pay-only, so we decided to opt-out. If you plan to visit both the marketplace & one or both of these Cultural Center activities, your visit here could probably extend to 2-4 hrs. Overall, we are very happy we visited and I would suggest stopping by if you're already driving through the northern windward side of Oahu, perhaps to or from the North shore. However, I wouldn't make a separate trip or go out of my way to visit the marketplace, especially if you're not going for the Polynesian Cultural Center attractions. There isn't much around this northern side of Eastern Oahu, so it's really only an attraction worth stopping for on the way to something else. Very little shopping or food within 20-30 mins either north or south of here. read more

We loved our visit to the Hukilau Marketplace. We started at Pounders for dinner. Everything was delicious. We got out to the shopping just as the sun was setting and the crowd was growing. We bought some souvenirs (good prices), and then got treats and sat and listened to live music. So relaxing and fun. Everyone was very friendly. read more

The market place is attached to the PCC Polynesian culture center. Which is a great Show, I have heard. I think this place has some cute trinkets that are pretty authentic Hawaiian things. I really like that this place also has some great food trucks. My family and I enjoyed some ice cream and really like walking around and enjoyed walking around and seeing all this place. Will definitely go back if I am in the are again:) read more

This should be a must-include on your North Shore bucket list! If you're heading over to the Polynesian Cultural Center then you're sure to walk through on your way to purchase tickets, grab a snack or pick up an island souvenir. One of the Marketplace highlights is nightly live entertainment featured in the gazebo from 6-7pm which makes for quite the step-up dinner experience from the usual takeout. My favorite is taking visiting friends to grab a dole whip (I don't see the point going to Wahiawa Dole Plantation), Penny's malasadas or a drink at SodaBomb. My friends from Utah can get their Island-Utah fix all in one place. Be sure to check out Pounder's restaurant. Great sit down option with reasonable prices for families or those on a travel budget. Plenty of free parking. No alcohol. read more

So far so good. Got here around 5:30pm. First stop was Délice Crêpes. Gotta have one!! The restrooms are located right outside the theater and are very clean. There are several shops in this place, which is located next to the theater where the PCC show Hā- Breath Of Life is performed. There's a shop of home furnishings, a Whalers General Store type shop a sweet shop, a kiosk of Kahuku Red Raider fan gear, and one for smoothies. As for places to eat, there is Baguette food truck specializing in sandwiches, theres Seven Brothers food truck, but I don't know what they serve. There's a hot dog place and Pounders restaurant which is the only "sit down" restaurant here, and I can't find it on Yelp!, so I'm going to review it here. The two items our server recommended are the Ham Shank that comes with cheese grits and some kind of Southern style greens, and the Filet Mingon that comes with bacon mashed potatoes and French beans. Sister ordered candied bacon appetizer which I found to be quite tough and chewy. Not what I expected, but they're still new, so I'd give it a second chance. The ham shank: the portion size was enormous! I couldn't even finish half! Not sure how it was prepared, but it did come to the table covered in a spicy barbeque sauce. The cheese grits were great. Nice texture, a little firm, but softened as I chewed, and the cheese flavor ran throughout. The filet mingon (sp): portion was on the smaller side, but the French beans and bacon mashed potatoes' portion was a good size. Sorry gang, no dessert ordered here as we had already had a crêpe earlier. I will definitely be back to try something else! Oh, and one more thing, they do have a kids menu, but you may need to ask for one. Enjoy! read more

The Hukilau Marketplace is in the same location as the Polynesian Cultural Center. You actually go through the market place to get to the PCC entrance. It was a nice walk with different vendors and restaurants. Spare at least an hour to tour the market. There's a shop where you can buy Dole Whip. We bought a Cali Dog from Hale Pops Hotdogs. It was very good. read more

We went to Hukilau marketplace in search of some lunch when driving back to the Northshore from the Eastside. Loved the parking and access to the many shops and food vendors here. Hale Pops is where we decided to eat and let me tell you, it was good and local bruddas manning the place were excellent. The service and food were really great, enjoyed talking with them while waiting for the food. I am special order kinda guy and it was spot on. Thanks for the great grinds, we will be back to try more! read more

The marketplace is a very touristy spot full of great food trucks and shops. I often come here to get souvenirs, jewelry, and even beautiful flower crowns! They also have the best food! I love going to get drinks from Sodabomb then some Thai food from elephant truck. They also have a great fish and chips place and a sweet shop where they have dole whip!! I'm a sucker for pineapple soft serve :) In the marketplace they also have live music around dinner time and I think they still do a movie on the lawn once a month. It's just a fun environment where you can see and meet so many diverse people. Very touristy, but a fun place to hangout, look around, and get lots of food. read more

RESTROOMS: These are some of the CLEANEST restrooms on the North Shore!! That on its own should warrant a stop. PARKING: Huge parking lot with lots of handicap parking plus since this is one the Marketplace side the parking doesn't fill up as much as the parking near the main PCC entrance. Definitely will be back read more

We live on Oahu and come here weekly! Many options to eat. Great breakfast spots, good coffee, brunch and lunch places, many food trucks that are some of the best on the island! The atmosphere is inviting and fun. Live music and lots to do. Grab some Mango Otai when you see the stand with the bananas and fruit hanging! Lots of places to shop for clothing and fun souvenirs. Great for all ages, too. read more

Apparently, the Hikilau Marketplace is a brand spankin new shopping area outside the Polynesian Culture Center "park". They offer a great variety of shopping, from crepes to smoothies, to hello kitty items, home items and burgers. There's even a little bandstand/ stage area, where they have people perform. Let's be honest, PCC is for tourists. Tourists love buying "Hawaiian" items they really don't need. I get it... I've done my fair share of world travel and go gaga for shopping too. It was fun to people watch and to see how much people are willing to pay for things they could get at the swap meet. You can get novelty items like light up "fire" batons that looking like the ones the fire dancers use. They also sell those brown slip on sandals that you can get for like a dollar at longs. Because PCC is owned by Brigham Young University, many, if not all the salespeople are BYU students. The students are an interesting mix of kids from Utah, Asia and the South Pacific. PCC doesn't really advertise the fact that they are owned by BYU and the church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints... But I guess the tourists are too consumed in the cultural appropriation they are experiencing to notice or care. Just fyi. read more

Cute little marketplace out in Laie next to the Polynesian Cultural Center. They have a restaurant, sweet shop, crepes, sandwiches, hot dogs, gift shops and more.

Shopping and food in one spot! Amazing food choices, trucks, restaurants, street style vendors. Then clothing shops (a little pricey but nice stuff for gifts or in a date night pinch) all staffed by super sweet workers. The trucks and shops are independently owned so I liked knowing I wasnt just supporting the PCC itself. read more

Fun and educational and entertaining for the entire family. They take you on a tour through all the Polynesian cultures, have you join in with learning about each culture, they start out with a lunch at pounders restaurant, then start the tour with learning about leis and bring you to the Samoan culture introduction, then continue to New Zealand, then on to Tahiti and Fiji, there's a river ride you can take after the tour, then you go to their luau buffet feast, where they entertain you with dancers. Lastly was the big show, it was a beautiful story, brought tears to my eyes, no pictures are allowed in the last show! Make sure you pay attention, it's beautiful! read more
