There are few Anime/Japanese Stationary stores on the island and JQ is one of them. It's one of my…read morego-to spots when I'm in town to buy collectibles or gifts for friends who love anime. Located inside a small plaza near Ala Moana (Piikoi st.) They share a private parking area with Cho Dangs Honolulu and Nijiya Market. They have a wide variety of items that changes constantly and something new available at the shop. Once you set your eyes on something rare, I recommend buying it instead of waiting because I guarantee you it will not be there the next time you visit. I also advise that the store can get really expensive because these are mostly imported goods from Japan. So spend wisely! Sales and discounts are also provided, but on rare occasions. The employees are also very helpful and nice. They will support your purchase just not your wallet (lol).

My daughter wanted to sell her Pokémon cards. I was going to take her to a different, well known…read morelocation but my son suggested this place instead. His friend has recommended, saying they offer more closer to value than the other location I was going to go to. He himself had sold cards here and was offered way more than other places. I'm so glad I came here. The guy was really nice. They were somewhat busy but he gave the option of grading cards for her and Venmo so we dont have to drive back! We got a great deal. She was super happy. Lots of parking as it's in a little shopping center. Where Chuck ECheese was. Definitely recommend coming here to sell (and buy) cards. Support local!

Service 4.5/5 I wasn't rushed by the associates but through context clues of trying to close up, I rushed myself. I appreciated they didn't try to boot me near closing time. Selection 5/5 So many cute things for purchase, I had no idea where to start.

So many cute items that you can purchase for yourself, friends, family, and love ones. It's a bright spot with lots of fans also purchasing the Kira x Miffy goods. Good luck practicing self-control. There's so much fun stuff to look through and buy. Even if you're not a fan, you'll still be able to find something cute to purchase.

Many of their locations are pop-ups around the holidays, but this one is going to be a permanent fixture at International Marketplace. It's located on the second story near the Banyan Tree; with big open windows it's hard to miss all the colors inside. Parking is validated for purchases of $10 or more, but it's much easier to get here walking around Waikiki. Their stores sometimes are overpriced, or charge more than similar stores. Despite the visitor heavy area, their prices seemed on par with what I would expect. At the time of this writing, they're having a 40% almost all of the store, which makes prices on some items even cheaper. Check sales on your next visit. They have all kinds of toys: action figures, ships, dolls, higher end collectibles for adults, board games, card games, puzzles, calendars, and cheap odds and ends near the checkout at the back. The clerk was super friendly to talk about the store and still attentive to handle customers. I look forward to dropping in on my walks.

This spacious shop is very clean and organized which makes it very easy to browse and see what they have to offer, and seems like they also buy, sell and trade items as well which is pretty cool though not sure how it's done but for the true collector this is a great deal and a valuable convenient place to do so, it's not quite my vibe but is a cute shop which many seem to enjoy. Thank you!

5 Stars Mini Q at Pearlridge - Outstanding Customer Service!…read more It was a pleasure shopping at the Mini Q at Pearlridge. Employee "Kaitlynn" did a wonderful job with customer service. She helped my 11-year-old son with the Warhammer tiny models, taking the time to explain everything needed to get started in painting. Her thorough and detailed explanations really made a difference. "Kaitlynn" was incredibly authentic and genuine - it's rare to find such dedication and care in customer service these days. I really appreciate her outstanding work and wanted to applaud her for it. If you ever visit this store, be sure to ask for "Kaitlynn" - a sweet, hardworking young woman with exceptional customer service skills. Aloha!

Located in Pearlridge Mauka, near Macys, this store is open 10 AM to 8 PM daily except on Sundays when they close at 6. They are an anime store, with a lot of inventory of toys, action figures, and other type of collectibles. They are on the more expensive side, but tbh honest what isn't? You may find a better deal at maybe animation magic upstairs but I feel like Mini Q has a better selection and is geared more towards anime. The workers there are also very nice and helpful. Just as a tip, I just call them to ask if they have what I want in their store or something equivalent. They offer good recommendations when possible and even suggested I check out Razor when they didn't have the item I wanted in stock.

I like their little collectibles and half the shop is a candy store. The pricing is to be expected for imported goods so expect it to be a little expensive but not many shops in Hawaii carry what they have. The cashier is always friendly and sometimes they do have a cute dog inside. Unfortunately the setup can be difficult to walk through because they have tubs of merchandise on the floor and tables. Just be careful not to knock anything over!
