Nice leis, reasonable prices and friendly service! They also had exactly what I was looking for with a wide selection of different styles and options. read more

Great selection Great prices Messed up service and workers Do I recommend? Maybe. Depends on your mood that day read more

The Leis here are gorgeous and theres definitely many to choose from. The owner is quite rude and mean though. She rushed us so much and yelled to not touch the leis or open the fridge to look at the leis a bit closer. We still got 4 leis from her for $200 total despite her attitude since we were already there. We'll be going elsewhere our leis next time though. read more

I was actually looking for a different lei shop originally but i didn't want to walk in front of the gaggle of men sitting along the side walk so i crossed the street to see what Lina's had to offer. I knew I wanted a pikake lei for mom's birthday and immediately saw it in the case. She had so many different offerings of lei which was awesome. So many different varieties and colors to choose from. Triple strand pikake lei for $35! The lady there was so helpful too, bc I wanted an additional lei to compliment the white of the pikake but not take away from the fragrance, so we went with a deep purple orchid, $35. So very reasonably priced IMHO. There's street parking if you're lucky and a parking lot across the street read more

Great place to get your leis for your special occasion. Helpful Aunties that you know spent time creating beautiful leis of fragrant flowers. Prices are comparable to the surrounding area. Parking is on the street. read more

Beautiful selection of leis but you need to be careful. Some times there are bruised petals so you may want to check the leis before purchasing. Of all the stands on Mauna Kea St they may possibly have the worst customer service. Do not try to photograph leis. They will ask you to FaceTime. Definitely do not try to open a refrigerator door or you will get a verbal lashing. I felt the wrath of the owner when I inadvertently did that by mistake. Will try to avoid going here now unless I can't find what I need anywhere else. read more

This is our go-to lei shop. It's right at the corner of Beretania and Mauna Kea in Chinatown. Usually if there's a spot open in the front, I'll just pull right up and get in and out of the shop quickly. If it does get busy, there is a parking area right across the street. The flowers and leis are always fresh and look beautiful. The smell of the ginger and tuberose leis are soo good. They really know how to make a lei and arrangements here. It's always so presentable and full. I feel really happy when I'm able to gift someone special a nice lei or haku. Price points are really reasonable and will definitely be a better deal compared to larger "flower shops." There was one time when I messed up and went on Mother's Day. I meant to go the day before, for more selection. On this day, the selection was slim pickings (DUH!), but I picked up a couple of leis, $50 a piece. Priced a little higher, of course and I had to bite the bullet on it. To be honest, when we gifted our moms with the leis, the leis were amazing. It was worth it. Besides, what's $50 when our mom's do so much for us!?! The people here are friendly as well. Oh, and don't open the doors. See which one you want and let them know. They'll grab it for you! We really love this shop for selection, freshness, and can't beat the pricing. We know that we will always find the perfect lei for the occasion here. read more

Lina's Lei & Flowers - Mother's Day lei - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I love this place, it is so convenient and you pull right up and pick up your order or buy lei in just a few minutes. I bought beautiful lei for my uncle and auntie golden anniversary and again for our pastors 10year anniversary and new roles. Sometimes I even treat myself to a lei from their day old case. They don't sell old lei and even the day old case looks fresh and lasts easily a whole day or two without wilting. I hope as the pandemic fades more people will give lei again, it's a part of the Aloha spirit I treasure read more

Went all over China town to look for leis for Mother's Day and this was the only shop that had pikake, and the ginger leis we needed, the girl was super friendly and although flower and leis are so expensive these days, the prices were reasonable. This is where I'm gonna check first before the other places. read more

I went to get a haku lei for a funeral last minute and this place was the only place that got what i wanted so i had no choice but to get it. Service was not great. I wasn't allowed to open the fridge to look at the haku leis. You had to just pick by pointing and he gives it to you. The haku was for the same day and I got it in the morning and put it in my fridge but by the evening service it was all dried and dying. I am hot sure if it was fresh like he said. The haku lei was 35 dollars and it did look good but value wasn't great. It didn't last long. read more

Lina's Lei & Flowers - Haku lei - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Lina's Lei & Flowers is a small shop by the corner of N. Beretania Street and Manuakea Street, next to Duc's Bistro. They had the best selection of haku (lei po'o) available in the fridge. It comes in all different colors and different types of flowers. I was specifically looking for a haku made with orchids and they had one available that afternoon. The haku was $25 and it still looked fresh on the 2nd day of wearing it. This was an excellent gift and the haku looked amazing in the photos. For parking, you can pull up on the side of the curb and quickly run in, buy your lei, haku, or flowers and come back out. The street parking in Chinatown is always full and I rarely find metered parking. If you plan to do a lot of shopping in Chinatown, I suggest parking in the Cultural Plaza parking lot or one of the Chinatown municipal parking lots. read more

My daughter told me (late last night) that she really wanted a white lei po'o for her birthday (today); I wasn't sure if I would be able to find one with such short notice. I got all of my leis from Lina's Lei and Flower shop and they've always provided excellent customer service and had beautiful flowers at a reasonable price so I crossed my fingers and stopped by on my way home. To my absolute surprise, they had a beautiful white rose with tuber rose and baby's breath lei po'o for only $35.00! I couldn't believe my luck! The lei po'o is absolutely breathtaking and I'm sure my daughter will absolutely love it read more

Bringing a lei (flower garland) to the mainland... A lei is a special gift of Aloha. The custom is to place the lei around the recipient's neck with a kiss and/or at least a hug. Nowadays, some people want to be politically correct and refrain from physical contact...Haha! Just toss it over the person's head! LOL! Either way, a lei is a symbol of friendship, Congratulations, and any occassion you choose to celebrate! I wanted to find a lei with a pink theme... one that would last a few days. My search up and down Maunakea Street in Honolulu's Chinatown led me to Lina's. This is an open air shop with refrigerators lining the wall on the right. The female worker greeted me and asked what kind of lei I wanted. She pointed out a spiral design that had pale pink petals intertwined with dark purple and white for a striking contrast. She reassured me that this lei could last up to a week! She was right! I hand carried it on the airplane, stored it in a refrigerator for about 12 hours, and presented it with no hesitation! I even refrigerated it again by wrapping it in the paper that it arrived in, spraying some water on the paper, and wrapping it in the plastic bag! It looked fine the next day, too! I'm really glad that I purchased this lei. The colors were perfect and the lei was hearty! I'll return because this employee knew her product, handled the flowers with care, and displayed them in a very attractive fashion! Note: I wasn't allowed to take photos of the floral designs. She didn't want others copying their creations! read more

Went in to buy a haku lei for a friends birthday. Flowers are always fresh and beautifully put together. Owners are friendly and made sure to spritz my lei with water before I left. They are located at the top of Maunakea on the right. Either street parking or park at the municipal parking one block mauka and walk across the street. read more

I like this lei shop because of the fair prices, selection and parking. There is usually one spot "loading zone" right in front of her shop. And if not right across the street. However be aware. Do not open the glass refrigerator doors. Look through the glass. She is all weird about people standing with the refrigerator door open. She's turns all cranky and she has no manners or tack about it. She is awful. It's like a switch flips. She really needs to either get new refrigerator or quit SNAPPING at people and learn a better way to express herself. If it wasn't for her Rudeness I would give it 5 starts, otherwise it's a great spot. read more

RUDE RUDE RUDE! Went there to order lei & boutonniere on Sunday for pickup on Friday. Lady there said we don't take orders just come that day and pick up. I said ok but what about the boutonniere? She said just come and get if we have. WTH? How can you go to a formal event and maybe have flowers??? I went down the street to Shirley's who was more than happy to take my order and my money. read more

Went to Lina's today to look for a lei for May Day. Immediately upon entering she came up behind me clapped her hands loudly, startled me and said "you don't buy anything, you just come to look and no buy. Go already. Go away". She kept repeating herself. I thought she was joking because she knows me and I have bought ALOT from her over the years, even custom orders. I can pull my debit and credit transactions over the years! I even bought last week for Merrie Monarch (from her husband) and my husband bought $125 of lei last week as well for a work event! But I realized she wasn't joking, so I said "I come to look at the selection at every shop on maunakea, sometimes you don't have what I'm looking for, but I still come in to see what you have incase there's something I want". She repeated again to leave cause I don't buy anything and was physically in my space trying to push me toward the exit. Mind you I had business attire on and, again, have bought MANY lei here over the years, my kids end of the year lei for classmates, Mother's Day, my birthday, performances, etc. I have never been treated so rudely by an establishment that I actually liked and supported! But now I will NEVER purchase from this dump again, neither will my husband, friends, family and I will make sure to tell everyone how ungrateful, rude, disrespectful and unappreciative this place is. Big mistake, HUGE! read more

This is usually my first stop for lei and lei po'o as well as loose tuberose stalks! They have a great selection and reasonable prices! Most importantly, because they are on the corner of Maunakea and Beretania, they usually have parking right in front of their shop so it's easy to park, jump out, buy your lei and jump back in your car!!! read more

My favorite place to get flowers on island! They open early and stay open relatively late compared to other flower shops. They have a large variety of flowers including Haku lei and options for both males and females. Pricing is super affordable, and they often have really great discounts/deals! read more

Lina's offers a great variety of fresh, beautifully designed leis & Haku leis and fresh cut flowers in every price range for every occasion. It's alway so hard to decide! I've been a customer for almost 30 years and parking is easy. Ask for Sonny. floral arrangement miscellaneous flowers at great prices. Sonny is quite knowledgeable about Quick street parking in front. read more

Considering I loved coming to this Lei stand because of the prices , I will no longer be coming here due to one reason only, the RUDE obnoxious older lady who works there. I went in, looked through the Refrigerator glass for Lei's and was so zoned out in looking at the Lei that I did not see the obvious sign that says Do not Open Refrigerator. Lady starts yelling at me and I apologized as it was totally my fault for not noticing the sign. After apologizing numerous times, Lady continues to yell and says "How did you not see the sign, it's right there!" Mind you, she was also on the phone while yelling and a customer waiting to pay. I than decided to take my business elsewhere because this level of utter disregard for customers is uncalled for. Go elsewhere if you don't want to encounter bad service!! There are numerous lei shops in that area that have much better service and nice workers! read more

Love this little local shop! They have all kinds of Lei's at different price points! Plenty of public parking in the area. Alohaness!

This is my favorite florist in Hawai'i. There is a young man that works there that is very respectful and professional he is the face of the business at least to me and my family. Check it out! ‍ read more

Lina's Lei & Flowers is the ONLY florist i trust to buy floral arrangements in vases. The floral arrangements are beautiful and affordable. The leis are also beautiful! Although the pandemic has caused many companies to close, I am SO happy to know that Lina's Lei & Flowers is still open...thank God! I think this floral shop continues business during the Covid-19 Pandemic because the son and mom tag team has blessed many people from around the island. The son and mom are kind hearted towards their customers . I am one of their customer and i will continue to support their business. I stopped at the floral shop to pick up a floral arrangement for my sister who had open heart surgery and what a blessing to have an arrangement perfect to cheer her up. I know the son and mom loves what they do, it shows in the floral arrangements. God bless your business and to the mom...what is your secret to looking so beautiful and young keep up the good work! *sorry, I didn't take a photo of the floral arrangement I was too excited to deliver it to my sister's room. I'm sure it put a smile on her face read more

Located in the corner of Beretania and Maunakea. On your right side. I know Chinatown is hard on parking especially if you're in and out for a Lei, there is a paid parking lot right across the street from them, or if you're lucky, you just might get a spot right in front of her shop. Customer service is on point. They're very helpful, even in between customers. We were on a last minute run and in search of a few leis and mainly a actual Maile lei, and this is the spot! And at a great price too - $40! Scored a couple tileaf maile leis for $5 and a couple others for $10/$12. Such great pricing. Compared to a few other spots I checked out. read more

Came in recently on a Saturday to purchase a bunch of single strand orchid lei. Was able to choose colors and the leis were nice and stayed fresh. (Put them in the fridge when we got home). Also picked up an orchid bunch too. The guy that was there was very helpful and friendly. Someone else came in while I was there and he was able to answer her questions about what would last. I have also come here in the past to get lei and haku lei to bring to the mainland for a wedding. I like to come here because it is easy to get to. read more

Beautiful flowers and lei's, very reasonable prices, and super friendly and helpful staff. The guy told us which flowers will last, which ones won't, and wrapped them for travel. I appreciated that extra gesture! read more

I walked over from my job on my lunch hour, the sale associate was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and patient with me also assisting me in choices. Helped me out with a lei for someone that is retiring at the end of the month. I came for the roses but ended up buying several items. I'm just loving these rainbow roses. He told me once in awhile they get these. I definitely want to get these again, they are so unique yet so beautiful. read more

Yesterday, I purchased a haku lei along with 3 others for a concert. The 3 were fine. But the haku smelled rotten! Something was definitely wrong with it. I've purchased from them before and never had a problem till now. I just called them to let them know and the man with a heavy accent refused to acknowledge there was a problem. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS BUSINESS! There are a lot of other lei vendors in the area to choose from. I will NEVER buy from them again! They are the first flower shop on the right when you're on Beretania St. turning left on to Maunakea Street. If I could give them less that 1 star. I would! read more

This has to be one of my most recent favorite lei shops in the Chinatown area. These guys are in a super convenient easy to spot location. My latest visit and purchase from this stand was Valentine's Day 2019. I was specifically looking for blue roses and out of 5-6 lei stand shops that I was walking around throughout the whole block of lei stands, Lina's lei and flowers had!!! They were only $4 along with other single roses. Anyways they are conveniently located on Maunakea St. right at the corner of S. Beretania. I think they should be the first lei stand spot when you enter through the Chinatown on Maunakea. They also have another nice assortments of leis and flowers for any occasion. The staff and customer service is good. Will be coming back often and suggest this place for other color roses! read more

Picked up a very fresh Puakenikeni lei for Mother's Day. Reasonable prices and helpful staff. They ensured they had a full stock for the busy day. read more

Fabulous selection with fragrant, long lasting leis. I have purchased leis here many times and I'm always so impressed! I park in the metered parking on Maunakea & N Kukui and walk over. read more

When it comes to buying leis, you inevitably will find yourself making your way to Chinatown. Yet, where to go? There are so many shops that seem to line Maunakea street and they all seem identical. When you ask your friends or family which shop to go to, each has their preference. For me, my vote is Lina's. Why, you might ask? Well, read the rest of this review and you'll understand why. The leis are always fresh and really nice. Whether you are looking for your staples such as an orchid lei or something more special, they are bound to have something for that special occasion. If you are looking for something specific, you might want to call ahead and try to order something or reserve a special lei. Prices are rather reasonable and service is good. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. So ask questions, not too many of course. When it comes to leis, Lina's is my spot that I go to! Plus...the loading zone parking out front makes getting in and out pretty quick! read more

No Aloha spirit her! Customer service on a late Friday morning is abysmal. I repeat: fail! Seems to be more important to eat saimen and watch Korean dramas on tv (in Chinatown) than to help a customer who wants to buy some flowers. Business is now going down da street and around the corner. read more

We ended up here after we discovered another shop we usually go to closed down and now we come here for all our haku lei needs! There are many other flower shops to choose from in the area but this is the cheapest shop with the best quality. 4 stars because parking sucks as do many places in town. Make sure you come here with two people, one for driving and one to jump out. read more

My absolute favorite lei shop in china town. Flowers are always fresh and they have this amazing day old section which is a great deal for people who will be using their goods that day! Service is mediocre but their products are great so I gave them more stars! read more

Was looking for simple flower bouquets but everywhere was sold out due to the holidays. After stopping at 2 supermarkets and 3 other Chinatown shops, I was so glad to see that this shop had flowers in stock. Yay! I was relieved to see that the workers were wearing masks (they were not wearing masks at some of the other shops that we visited). Will come here again :) read more

Better stuff than the majority of floral shops on Beretania between Smith and Maunakea. Mixed flowers for dead relative's gravesite, many colors but none artificial, pretty and a little priced high, but worth it, $8. Not the usual bunch of red ginger or anthuriums or carnations. Tuberose stalks for my friend's house, which she loved, $2 a stalk, SCORE! They also had stalks of white ginger, delicate and orchidlike, near the red ones. SO GOOD. Good service, and they take credit cards, too. Cut out minutes of shopping; if you need flowers, go here first. read more

Always friendly and so nice! I'm so happy to pick flowers here at my got to spot in Chinatown! I love the Rose bouquets the best but when I need something special or custom I will call ahead of time and they usually can get it done for me! Love this place too because it's super convenient - there's always parking right in front of the shop so I can carry the bouquets in the car easily. read more

I bought 63 orchids for my mom's birthday and all orchids lost their buds within 2 days and then all of them died within 5 days. Really disappointing. My guess is that they were chilled too much to stay fresh longer but they were actually very old, although I am not an expert; all i know for sure is that I always buy her orchids and they last almost a full month! Will definitely never buy from them again. read more
