I live close to this Daiso and shop here regularly. I understand that parking here is tight and I…read moredon't mind waiting. However, every interaction I've had with a parking attendant there has been condescending and terrible. They are on power trips. Combined with the clerks who never smile and barely acknowledge your existence when you check out, it's an overall unpleasant shopping experience. I'd much rather drive across town and shop at the Pearl City Daiso. Always lots of parking, the clerks seem happy to be there, and it's always clean and well stocked. There must be a difference in store managers.

Wholesale Unlimited Inc. was founded in 1965 when Betty Nagamoto initially sold beef jerky to local…read morebars and markets from the trunk of her car. The warehouse is located in Waipahu and they now have six locations under "Wholesale Unlimited Express" throughout Oahu. This location in Honolulu is in a small plaza with a small amount of parking. Although the shop is small, they have a variety of Hawaii snacks including many with li hing powder. There were even a lot of snacks here that I found in Japan which was amazing to see so I grabbed a lot of those. Comparing these prices to other stores around the island, we found that Wholesale Unlimited was the best bang for our buck. The worker (I never got her name) was so friendly! We were chatting about some of her favorite snacks and we got to sample some as well.

When the Kaheka location changed from Daiei to Don Quijote ages ago I think there was some excitement but never thought twice about it. I also didn't realize Don Quijote and Don Don Donki are essentially the same company, despite noticing the same penguin and font and color scheme etc. Took me quite some time to connect the dots haha. Anyway we shop here every time we need Japanese and other Asian ingredients. Like when I got obsessed with Japanese rice, Don Quijote was my first stop. Or when I was obsessed with saba and stocked up on packs of frozen fillets. Or when I wanted cheap sake for DIY skincare. Huge selection of everything - cosmetics/skincare as soon as you enter, souvenirs, fruits and vegetables, bakery, aisles of ramen and snacks, etc. Interestingly, the hot food section serves a variety of local Filipino items as well. While conveniently open 24 hours, Don Quijote is not the place to pick up freshly prepared food before 6:00am (despite what Google told me). Jet lag was rough last week and I started work earlier and wanted bento for breakfast. I only saw pre-packaged sushi from the night before. No musubis either. But the inside is as brightly lit and clean and safe as at any other time.

High quality seafood and fish! Also bought some items from the grocery, as our hotel has a kitchen. So, we can cook soups and noodles and try some new flavorings! Looking forward to the uni/urchin cream sauce Staff are also very friendly and approachable! The checkout was smooth. Similar to the warehouse stores, show your receipt at the door upon leaving. There's picnic tables outside to sit, relax, and eat so that is very convenient! There's SO MUCH here at Don Quijote! From Waikiki, just head towards Ala Moana Center and go about 3 blocks north.

A night in Kaka'ako is always a fun place to explore, and just be entertained!…read more The Honolulu Night Market at Our Kaka'ako is indeed a fabulous adventure into the biggest street/block party filled to the brim with all things local...food, retail and culture. I've been to so many and each and every one is very unique where you can find either fashion runway stage, live street art, or even a dance night in the barn. I just love the vibe SALT and surrounding Our Kaka'ako brings with the vibrant art we're so blessed to have and this particular night (November 19th) there was actually much more shopping just perfect for the holidays and the party went further down to Ya-ya's. Tonight I was fortunate to have gone after work so I kept it short but found some awesome treats. Some straw toppers to add to my holiday gift giving and some cheesecake cups (OG, Strawberry and Cookie Butter) of course I got one of each to share...ate the Strawberry which of course omg was yummy!! Not too sweet as the Strawberries was just perfect as I tried to get an even scoop of it all in every bite. Walked further down and honestly wasn't in the mood to wait too long for anything found something that would just exactly work for me. Ya-Ya's Chophouse & Seafood and tonight they had two items - Steak Kebabs - Fat Fried Rice with TAB (aka Thick Ass Bacon lol!) I seriously wanted the fried rice but thought that the Steak Kebabs was more sensible for me personally and it came with two kebabs each fully loaded with steak, mushrooms, peppers and onions with a huge scoop of rice! So many options I really was considering including Henna from Henna Happens, Birria Tacos from Dolce Vita, Corn from Corn Onoz Hawaii but though there's always a next time yes!?! I remember pre-pandemic Yelp had a booth here and hoping as things return to normalcy that we'll see it back again one day (hint hint!) Absolutely love this Honolulu Night Market as it offers so many cultural coolness that you can't find anywhere else! Thank you!

The perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of commercialized Waikīkī. Glowing tiki torches, it captures my every step. Curiosity takes hold of me as my eyes gaze towards wooden kiosks. They're closely knit, all selling a hodge-podge of brick-a-brac island-style pieces geared towards tourists. A jumbled assortment of curiosities, memorabilia and trinkets of remembrance. Cheap shell leis, carved wooden tikis, jewelry of all sorts, handmade items. Displays of bright Aloha attire and accessories complete the shopping experience from stores along the perimeter. Vendors chatting, laughter in the distance. A comforting hum, a laid-back vibe. Unpretentious and deeply welcoming. All centered around a grand, massive 100+ year old banyan tree. Balanced on urban living, it was a connection to the social fabric of Honolulu. Nostalgic, charming, extremely unique. This was the original International Marketplace in Waikīkī. From 1956 to 2013. I remember it vividly. Do you? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ I grew up coming to this open-air marketplace. Eclectic shops and a food court. This place had personality, charm, island-style warmth. I frequented this spot from childhood into young adulthood when traveling from the Big Island of Hawai'i and during my university days at Mānoa. Memories with my family as a kid, with my college friends many years later. Having a quick meal as an adult at the International Marketplace food court while employed in Waikīkī. It was a spot for cheap eats in a relaxed setting. I've watched musical diva and Hawai'i legend, Melveen Leed perform many times. My parents still remember watching Don Ho here. At the original International Marketplace back in the day. Precious memories. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Now it's a blend of fresh air and natural light on three floors. Polished, refined with modern touches. Still offering a lively yet sweet escape with a fluid layout and an unconfined atmosphere. Reimagined and reopened in 2016. Home to major brands and unique local boutiques. A shopping and dining destination. Exhibits and the century-old banyan tree trace the rich heritage of Waikīkī. Entertainment welcomes visitors and kama'aina like myself to this gathering place. I've dined multiple times on the third floor Grand Lānai. Featuring chef-driven restaurants and local cuisine. Casual food concepts line the Kūhīo Avenue Food Hall on the first floor. Breakfast, lunch or dining under the stars. There's something for everyone. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Since reopening in 2016 after a three-year construction phase, I've returned back a handful of times to the International Marketplace. Do I miss the version I grew-up with? Of course. But I understand why redevelopment was sought. It's prime real estate in the heart of Waikīkī. Physical expansion and a multi-million dollar modernization to capture high spending visitors as tourism and revenue shifts in Hawai'i. Honestly, I've shopped and dined at this modern version of the International Marketplace more times than the one I grew up with. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Revisit the International Marketplace like I have and embrace the transformed landscape. As it evokes deep sentimental meaning, a bittersweet clash of cherished history and modern progress. Take a photo by the iconic century-old banyan tree. Become lured by local boutiques along with luxury ones. Relax, shop, dine or people watch while taking in the view. Here, it's not just about spending money, it's about spending time. A space for everyone to create new memories.

They are a sort of warehouse type store where things are on shelves stacked all over the store. However, everything is organized and the owner knows exactly what he has and where it's at. So, if there is something you are looking for, just ask! Most of their items are new, although they do have some slightly used items. (But most things are brand new) The prices here are great! My son picked up a wireless keyboard and mouse for $20! Brand new in the box. We found them online for $65 minimum!! They also have a large number of bikes of all kinds and sizes, kids ride on toys, baby items, patio furniture, home decor, and small kitchen appliances. You name it, they probably have it. If not, just ask and the owner will try and get it for you. They get new merchandise in regularly so it's worth stopping in to see what's new. They have a great page on Facebook that shows a lot of what they have as well as new arrivals. I highly recommend you come check them out for yourself or give them a call if there is something specific you are looking for.
