The shop itself is charming, and the team was exceptionally polite and genuinely friendly. Their merchandise is creative and thoughtfully curated, with a nice variety of unique items that made browsing really fun. Prices felt reasonable for the quality and originality you're getting. What I loved most was the positive energy throughout the store. One of the employees shared a sweet piece of advice that stuck with me: "Believe me, my friend. when you're my age, you'll do everything you can to make your day and truly enjoy it." Moments like that make a place memorable. Definitely a feel good stop at International Market Place . I'd happily return.

House of Mana Up has an online presence and five store locations; this one is inside of the Royal…read moreHawaiian Center. Tongue in cheek .. I would describe this as a brick-and-mortar Etsy store featuring products made in Hawaii. Floor space is expensive, but the curators arrange things nicely, so each producer's product, or product category, has room to stand out. The range of products is diverse; but I would describe the main categories as: clothing and accessories; food items; household decor; and books and printed items. It is worth a visit to try and find souvenirs or gifts that are not the usual tourist kitsch.

Please check out the House of Mana Up website: https://houseofmanaup.com/…read more So many goods!!! I was able to find the perfect care package full of local goods for a special friend leaving the island. The package I selected included jerky, salts, coffee, chips, chocolate and caramel. They were all local goods, and so well packed, the packaging is beautiful and no mistaken products from Hawaii. I will definitely consider this place again. The gift packages will make a very special gift! Thank you House of Mana Up!

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.

Interesting that service is different for different people…read more Went to the Ala Moana location today. The person at the register, an older gentleman, spent a considerable amount of time with a Japanese couple, purchasing items. He wrapped, taped, and carefully put items in a bag for them, and handed them their purchase. My turn, maybe it's because I'm in my tshirt and shorts, just a local ol' lady. He rings me up, tapes the plastic bag the item comes in off the shelf, and hands it to me. I didn't get asked if I needed a bag, as it is a gift I'm taking to Japan. I ask if he has a bag of sorts I can put that in? He asks, "such as?". I say, a small bag of sorts? He says, "well we have this brown paper bag, if you want?". Picks up a brown bag from behind the counter. I was done. I said no thanks. And walked away. Why such a difference in service? Maybe I needed to dress better, I'm not sure. I was a bit offended. Products are super cute, this was only my second time here.. I guess it'll be my last as well. So sad. By the way, my husband and I went to Kahala store yesterday, we bought something there. We thought the service was wonderful, the lady helping us was welcoming and helpful. Ala Moana, felt a bit discriminating.

This was an interesting little maze of stalls selling wooden tikis, this, jewelry, aloha shirts and…read moredresses, and whatever other Hawaiian souvenirs and tchatkis you might want. It's a bit of a cross between a flea market and a Chinatown. The prices will get lower and some vendors will wheel and deal if you walk away. I bought a carved coconut tiki mug that started out at $25--my hesitation brought the price down to $15. Dog bandanas went from $15 each this $10 each. You get the picture. If it's fun to look around and bargain, but be aware that we saw similar items at the ABC convenience stores (on every corner--like a circle k but much nicer) for, in some cases, a lower price. Still, is kind of fun to go

This is a great shopping experience in Honolulu and is a short walk from Waikiki hotels. We walked…read morethere from the Hilton in about 10 minutes. It's a little tricky to get into the mall from the street as you have to walk into the garage and there are few signs directing you to escalators that take you up to the shopping areas. The mall is open air, so you might need to spend time inside some stores to cool off at times. Signage is actually surprisingly poor, and it was legitimately challenging to find specific stores at times. They have static printed directories in a few places, but some stores are actually located below in the garage area which was quite confusing. They also do not have mall concierge desks or other staffed counters to help with directions. They do have a large variety of stores here including upscale and designer options and our favorite Psycho Bunny. They have a variety of dining options as well from full restaurants to food court options. This is overall a pleasant place to spend a few hours shopping in Honolulu.
