Twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C. is the pua to my la'au. Throughout my trip to Oahu, everyone had me feeling lei-vely. Especially Nadine C.! Thank you, Twinsie "Auntie" Nadine C., for gifting me the most gorgeous Lei Po'o. I wore it on my birthday and felt ridiculously loved. Multiple staff at Arancino at The Kahala complimented me on the head garland and I was tickled. I even took it with me to Waikiki beach to take photos with it. Gorgeous, lightly fragrant, and it lasted the whole trip with a light spritz of water in a bag and popped into the refrigerator. What else can be said? Come here and get all your leis here. This place is a daffodil-ight! read more

Lin's Lei Shop - Lei Po'o from Lin's. - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Top of the list for lei. This family is so friendly, and their lei is always beautiful. They are a staple in the Chinatown community. read more

Located on left side of Maunakea almost at the end before you hit cross street of King. Parking is a challenge but usually cars are pulling out from Manapua place or park in loading area. I usually order ahead so I can just park there and pick up. Been using them for over 20 years and Loretta and Tony are the best! Always a large selection to choose from, their po'o are beautiful and reasonably priced. I love their hair combs with Pikake or tuberose which can be found in the bottom right side of case but if I want to make sure i have one, i order ahead. Super reasonable. I even ordered maile and other lei to be shipped to Arizona for my daughter's college graduation and they arrived on time and looking good! These guys are pros and the women making lei in back of shop you can kinda peek in and see are tops! Will always be my go-to because of constant professional service. read more

Amazing! Walked in hoping to get wedding Leis the day before my elopement. They were so helpful with picking out what I needed and I ended up buying fresh Leis. They made them for me and allowed for me to pick up the moment they opened. They were gorgeous. I got a Haku(flower crown) and a beautiful Neck Lei for my husband and it was less than $100! read more

Such a friendly staff and was able to get just what I needed for Mother's Day! Grateful they had so many options for a last minute buy.

Ordered online for delivery, and was very impressed with the quality of the arrangement! Will definitely order from them again.

Love this lei shop!!! They have a wide variety of beautiful leis and hakus. I also purchased all the leis and flowers there for my mainland relatives who attended my Dad's funeral last year. read more

I always get my leis from Lin's. Earlier this year we needed several leis for a graduation on the mainland, and they shipped everything to us perfectly in time for the event. They really came through! Their service is always great -- super fast, easy, and convenient. Plus they have a really nice and affordable selection of leis and haku leis. Definitely recommend. read more

Incredible service and leis! The ladies that were there took pictures for us, had great prices, and had beautiful leis. Highly recommend!! read more

Amazing- so great to work with- very friendly and helpful staff - the leis arrived on tim,e and they looked fantastic!

My family has been coming to Lin's Lei Shop for years so I know I'm never going to be disappointed. Stopped by on my birthday looking for a Haku Lei and found the perfect one for $45. They have a selection to choose from & their services are super helpful! The parking isn't the greatest. I had to several around at least 3 times before I got lucky & found a stall right outside their shop. There was one person in front of me and so I browsed their amazing shop which I waited to get assisted. Was in and out within 10 minutes tops! My haku lei lasted freshly for a week so it's definitely worth the price! Check them out! You won't regret it! (: read more

Lin's Lei Shop - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

had a very disappointing conversation with the man who was working at the front of the store the other day. I inquired about pre-ordering a graduation lei po'o, only to be met with comments including, "it's too early to order," and, "well, that's mother's day weekend." what was interesting about these comments was there was no resolution, making it seem like the employee simply didn't want my business. i even asked when they typically start accepting their graduation lei po'o orders, with no response. after making these comments, he asked me what I was looking to do for my lei po'o. while showing my inspiration photo, I was met with more discouragement, informing me the flower and size choice I wanted were not available, and to check their instagram stories for their available flowers instead. when he pulled up the instagram himself, the 2nd photo showed the exact flower I was looking for, and I was met with some defensiveness, with the employee saying, "sometimes we don't have flowers in stock, even if it's on our instagram." for those reading, do what you will with this review. if you value customer service, I would take your business elsewhere, but if you don't mind blunt conversations, then this store should suffice for you. read more

Whenever I need leis, my go-to place is Lin's. They always have what I want and the prices are reasonable. As a Lion, I often attend events where we recognize special people such as First Responders, scholarship recipients and honored guests on Veterans Day, I've had to pick over a dizen leis, and I can always count on Lins to have what I need. read more

I wanted to get something fragrant for my friend visiting the island for the first time. But all plumeria flowers leis were sold out. The next thing I thought about was to give him a manly lei that would look good for few days. I found there was a bozu lei at Lin's Lei Shop 蓮氏花鋪 in the cooler with the perfect colors. Except it was on clearance. I asked how many days would this lei last. The lady said several days. Ok. So, I bought it. As soon as I got to my hotel in Waikiki and put it on the person, the pedals started to fall. I felt so embarrassed all night. Thank goodness, it dried nicely when I returned to the Mainland. read more

I was very satisfied with the quality and freshness of the lei's that I purchased...highly recommended The service is just amazing as well The Value cannot predict that at all.,,it's reasonable everything nowadays are expensive...got to be within reason that is all...they got make money too ...its fair for everyone that they can accommodate such reasonable prices..that's all read more

They never run out of leis, they have all kine. i grabbed a lei po'o last minute right before closing so thank you for being a life saver!

Love Lin's Lei Shop! It's affordable and they usually have a lot of variety to choose from. The parking isn't the greatest, as it's in Chinatown, so definitely be prepared to drive around to find parallel parking or find a parking lot nearby. The employees there have always been helpful and really sweet. They're patient to answering questions about prices and seeing what else they may have in stock to purchase. I always recommend Lin's to my family and friends read more

Got the last haku lei on a Saturday afternoon. It was reasonably priced @ $45. We've been coming here for years if we're "in the area" near Chinatown. read more

Reasonably priced. Breathtaking flowers. I was looking for a maile lei for a spur of the moment event. It can get difficult to find an authentic maile lei without notice, but Lin's came to the rescue and the price is surprisingly reasonable. I also purchased a couple of bags of loose flowers and it was only $5 a bag! what a steal!, they also sold me a handful of Lily's. They not only sell Lei's but will accommodate your request for flowers in general. These beautiful flowers added that special touch to our last minute event, as if we took a while to plan. So friendly, so easy to place an order. Thank you Lin's Lei Shop! read more

Friendly helpful customer care! You will not be disappointed and beautiful lei and more

I love this downtown lei shop staple. My family has been coming here for years and will continue to do so. I still drive here to get leis even though I have moved out of town and more towards the west. Thanks Alex for the great service. read more

So happy they had pua keni keni my favorite. Lady assisting us wasn't too friendly and we almost felt rushed but they had a better selection compared to the other two we stopped by. Pua keni keni smelled great as ever but pikake barely had any fragrance. Recommend this shop but you have to go to the shop that has the flowers you are looking for. read more

A very close friend passed away, and I was on the island during her birthday. I wanted to honor her and throw a lei into the sea because one year, a bunch of us were out here and it was so much fun. I remembered that she got married at Turtle Bay, so I came down to Chinatown to get some leis. I remember Lin's being next to Sin Cheong, and I planned on picking up something to eat too! There are a lot of premade leis in the refrigerator case and so many to choose from. Prices are reasonable depending on what you want and how fancy. I saw some basic "Welcome to Hawaii" leis for $9, and some really nice maile leaf entwined with orchids for $85. I chose three leis: yellow roses, a pink and purple, and a deep magenta. She: Oh, this one is no good (yellow roses)....oh this one too...(a second box) Me: I'll take them both if you discount them. I'm throwing them in the ocean. So I got my two leis, and the yellow roses for $30 bucks! I can't remember how much the other two were...$12? $15? $18? Great place to come to! The people were very friendly. I got what I needed. Mahalo Lin! read more

I pre-ordered a maile lei with tuberose about a week before an event. The person who I spoke with over the phone was short with me, which is fine (I understand businesses being busy) as long as the product quality is good. The last time I ordered one for prom (more than a decade ago now haha), the maile lei was full and fluffy. The maile lei with tuberose costed $100 so it was a bit disappointing to see the maile lei appear sparse compared to other maile leis at the event, so if there's another event where I need a maile lei, I'll be looking elsewhere unfortunately. read more

Lin's Lei Shop - Maile lei with tuberose for $100 - Florists Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

One of the two busiest lei shops on Mauna Kea. Great selection to fit your budget. It's a bit crowded but they do have 3-4 workers to help you choose, pay or place an order. They also have cut flowers - roses, carnations etc. The workers are helpful and nice. read more

Loyal customer for years. I've been shopping at Lin's Lei Shop for all my lei needs for as long as I've lived here! I knew this place was the real deal when a friend of mine bought three or four leis for a graduate, and also a couple leis to honor our departed friend's birthday. When my husband and I were still friends, he also bought me a graduation lei from Lin's! We have bought countless leis for friends' and family members' birthdays, graduations, a hui hou celebrations. Lin's was even my first choice to buy leis for mine and my husband's parents and a maile lei for my husband on our wedding day, but they didn't have a pick up or delivery service that I knew of. I felt like I was cheating on them by getting the wedding leis elsewhere! I actually thought of Lin's and to finally write this review since my husband's birthday is coming up...shh. Lin's provides fresh, beautiful leis at reasonable prices, and they take cash and card! Like any shop in Chinatown, be mindful of legal street parking. Oh, and after shopping at Lin's, be sure to pick up some manapua (char siu bao/siopao) or pork hash (siu mai) from Sing Cheong Yuan! read more

Great selection of leis in gorgeous colors! Usually has a great selection of $5 discount leis, and there is one really full and fragrant lei left (go now if you want it, they are open till 6!) since we arrived quite late in the day. After much loud "over each other" talking, we put the peeps on speaker phone, told them to behave, and we went for the well priced $10-12 orchid and mixed orchid leis. Headed to the Edge for the grand opening of Artistree, Kori's new band! Band members are sporting single purple orchid lei. Mahalo to Cindy and son for putting up with a group call with us and some zany friends on the phone, as we tried to figure out which lei to buy for the band! read more

The only lei shop I could find that's open late. Kind of a sketchy location, and you have to pay in a municipal lot or do stress parking--but so convenient because they're open late. Most other lei shops close early. Get your lei here and support local instead of getting crappy lei from the grocery store. They have traditional lei and haku lei as well! I went right before closing at night, and they still had a ton of selection. read more

I love this place. Fresh, fast, and fragrance. I love supporting local Ann A. family business. He is the most sweetest thing to walk into that flower shop and be able to ask the elderly ladies to create the color scheme you want and design a beautiful label and Head Lei or a floral arrangement for a deceased loved one. Lin's put their heart into it. read more

Quality lei, reasonable prices. Parking can be challenging. It's best to go with another person so you can pull up in front of the shop and hop out to make your purchase and don't have to search for parking. read more

This lei stand stands above the rest! (pun intended) The flowers are fresh and the service is always top notch. I don't care to drive into Chinatown most days but it I need lei this is the best. There are specials on leis that are a little older, or more simple, but are still beautiful. The people who run Lin's are so helpful and willing to show you why things are marked down. Parking is dodgy (it's Chinatown) but worth looping around the block for a stall if you really want that quality lei. They also have pre-order and bulk pricing. When I was in a rush, I strayed once.....I picked up a lei po'o up the road the other day.....and paid a ton for it, but when I opened it, the lei was moldy!!!! They wouldn't refund me! Ugh! So I drove down to Lin's just being grateful that I tried to open the other one in the car before I got too far, and got a gorgeous lei for less!!!!! I'm sorry for straying. I'll never do so again! read more

I phone ordered a 3 strand pikake lei for my daughter's wedding, last week, sight unseen. They assured me it would be ready on the day requested and that it would be 'tight' and the buds new and closed. They did just that!!! Best, beautiful and fresh. My daughter was sooo happy. Thank you Lin!! read more

I've been coming to Lin's since 1994 and was always happy with my flowers. However, this past week I was absolutely blown away with how beautiful all our flower arrangements (wreaths, tropical arrangement, and photo & urn arrangement) for my aunty's funeral were. The photo album they have at the shop to choose from doesn't do it justice. At first, I thought the prices were a bit steep, but the quality and the quantity of flowers and the service was completely well worth it. It was great working with Alex from the florist. His expertise, commitment to excellence, and communication is top notch. Today we went back for the third day grave site visit, and ALL of the flowers were still beautiful, even after being under the Hawaiian sun for three days! Highly recommend Lin's Lei Shop not just for lei's, but for all your floral arrangements needs. read more

They are artisans in lei crafting. The variety & quality of lei is worth the drive. Tucked away in Chinatown Honolulu, curb side. They also created a beautiful sympathy wreath for my grandfather that was navy inspired. Heart shaped with blue & yellow flowers. We appreciated the attention to detail. read more

I have picked up lei and haku from them in the past. They have reasonable pricing and the selection is great. I guess it doesn't matter if they have good customer service or not, they are well established and at the end of the day, if you want a lei and they are open, they aren't a bad choice. BUT if you want to place an order, go somewhere else. The woman I spoke to went on and on about how she is so busy, and can't take orders just come in. I couldn't chance that they would have what I wanted, the amount that I needed - especially some specialty items so I just went to Harriets at the airport. Harriets has a good selection, good pricing, and the ladies there are pleasant to deal with. read more

Called the day before to inquire if they had any pikake lei available. She did! Took my name, number, credit card info and I picked up the next day with ease. The 3 strand pikake lei I ordered was beautiful and sooooooo fragrant. Cost was $40. read more
