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.

I've been here a couple of times. Most recently, to see if the hype over Seki Slush was…read morevalid...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.

I visited the store before we started our day at the Polynesian Cultural Center and didn't want to carry my purchase around. I was happy to learn they would ship for me. It was about $15 to ship two wooden mugs to the mainland. They were packed securely and arrived in perfect condition.

This store is located in the Marketplace near the Polynesian Cultural Center. It is quite large and…read moremainly for souvenirs and gifts. The selection is varied and large. There is the usual assortment such as macadamia nuts and assorted foods. Some things I had never seen before, such as a bird house made from a coconut which we bought. There are also clothes, wooden products. Overall, the selection is such that if you are looking for a gift, you are likely to find it. The wife found some t-shirts for kids on sale so that was a good value. I did not compare prices on macadamia nuts which is usually a good indicator if a store is priced reasonably or not. The cashier was friendly so service was fine.

My husband planned an Amazing Race-styled Christmas present for me this past year, and my second…read moreleg of the race gave me experiences all over the island of Oahu, one of which led us to the Polynesian Cultural Center and this business. Here, we learned how to make a braided haku (head lei). Little did we know, braiding is the harder one of the two types to make, but we got the hang of it thanks to Patricia, a former world-traveling Polynesian dancer who's been making them for 35+ years. My husband has never braided anything before, and he did an amazing job for his first time! His braids were even tighter than mine! We visited a second time just two days later when we came back for the PCC's luau. I purchased 3 sarongs and a mother of pearl brooch/clip that adds a bit of decor when wrapping. The quality of the dye and fabrics is stunning. They are so soft and colorful! Definitely recommend a visit here for both the people and the items!

Beautiful necklaces. The headlands that are made on spot are beautiful and are fun to add to the…read morePolynesian Cultural Experience. There are some more high end jewelry, and also cheaper items that you can bring home for friends and family. They have some of the most beautiful sarongs that I've seen on this side of the island. Cool stop to add to the experience.

The gentleman who took care of us was great however, the following night when I removed the tape I realized my ring had an imperfection. I went back to the shop and Giselle and Haley were working. They took the absolute best care of me. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was taken care of. The setting was the last one and had been discontinued however they showed me another that was almost identical that I ended up liking even more! They also cleaned the pearl after they noticed there was some glue residue left on it. While Haley was setting the pearl in the new setting Giselle was kind enough to offer to clean up my wedding ring that was dirty and full of sand. They went above and beyond that evening! They were kind, energetic, knowledable and overall provided the best customer service. I even went home and raved to my family how fabulous these two ladies were and the service they provided me! Thank you Giselle and Haley for making the experience so positive!

DISCLAIMER REVIEW FOR POKE ONLY :: I just had the worst…read morepoke bowl I've ever had in my life. I did not go in store to purchase it, someone else brought it home to me. I would've immediately noticed that the fish is NOT worth eating. I'm starving. We are in a flash flood watch. I forced myself to give it a shot, & immediately was filled with regret as I spit it back out. It was disgusting & my "limu poke," wasn't even POKE. It was straight up mush. I'm even second-guessing if it was even ahi. I've never seen poke like that before, how it immediately disintegrated while using my chopsticks to pick it up. Not even the kine that is made to be patty style. I know it's previously frozen, but I have no idea what that was. On top of all of that there was a black hair in my poke. ** As seen in the photo ** My mouth dropped open when I saw the reviews of people raving about how good it is.... then I clicked on their profiles & saw they're all tourist, so of course they like it. As a local, do NOT waste your money. My food went straight in the trash. There's actually no good poke places on this side...even the Tamura's Hau'ula is the worst one on the island. I need to drive all the way to Kaneohe to Kbay Bros to get decent poke smh.

This location has realllyyyyy gone downhill in the last 5 years. They are definitely ripping off…read moretourists (because they can at this location). The poke is not fresh anymore and expensive! You're better off going to Tamura's for groceries and poke! Or somewhere local for poke! Also the young cashiers are weird...

Whether you are looking for a smaller item like a candle, a picture frame or a few toss pillows or something larger is larger like a mirror, framed print or small piece of furniture, this store has it all. With Hawaiian touch! Now that doesn't mean everything has a Hawaiian prnt; many items represent the colors of the sea, sand, and sky, a very soothing palate that goes with anything and everything. There were lots of beautiful serving pieces, glassware, ceramics, as well as tablecloths, tea linens, napkins and table runners. I particularly loved all the hand carved wooden items like round bowls in a variety of sizes and serving platters. I use them as charcuterie platters with the small bowls holding nuts and olives. Lots to look at so make a few rounds! I was there in late September and they had many Falk items during that time. Definitely worth stopping in! Everywhere you turn there is more to look at you look at I was there in the fall and so they had many Halloween and Thanksgiving items as well if you're not into home décor they are is home décor they also have a very nice selection of jewelry both fashion jewelry and some high end pieces that were unique and reasonably priced
