I'm lucky to have cross paths with beautiful Kauai. My previous visit was over 25 years ago. Yes,…read morethose times I remembered were filled with driving around the island with lots of sugar canes. It's good to know, even with small shopping centers in certain areas, it still doesn't take away the beauty and lushness of the mountains, trees, and the ocean. This shopping center carries the necessities and some luxuries if you choose to partake. Some of the shops: Safeway-pick up some groceries and snacks Starbucks-morning coffee Health food store-pick up something healthy to eat and try their sample tastings Abc stores-tourist souvenirs Subway-sandwich to go-for the beach Jewelry store-something for yourself or lover Stop by and take a look for yourself! It's coveniently located close to where I stayed. :)

Stopped here to grab lunch and stock up on snacks. Lots of great stores including Safeway, Ross,…read moreABC Store, Subway, Starbucks, Panda Cuisine, and so much more! They have a good mix of completely predictable chains (so that you don't lose your mind from trying all new things) to locally owned businesses (so you don't lose your soul from selling out to the corporate machines.) We got lunch at Subway, stopped in at Starbucks, ABC Store and Ross. Yes, we are total corporate chain sell outs and I am completely ashamed of myself. Tomorrow I make the commitment to buy my coffee from a local hipster coffee shop that only single origin pour overs from a responsible fair trade grower, buy all my produce from a farmers market, go to Goodwill and buy used clothing so I create less waste, and get my takeout from a mom 'n pop restaurant who sources 40% of their product from local organic growers. Who am I kidding? I'll just start with the coffee and we'll see how it goes from there...

I would rate the bathrooms as worse than public beach, at least the one behind Quicksilver. - Slightly lower prices - improved sidewalks

The Rice Shopping center has seen better days. I was here most recently during the Labor Day…read moreweekend 2017 and decided to look around. Needless to say, there's a bunch of options here for everyone. The Rice Shopping Center is what you would call your neighborhood shopping center, even though there's only a small handful of shops that reside here, especially with a large section for the laundromat and there's a bowling alley too. It was nice to explore here and found out there was a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho Kauai. I came here on a Saturday afternoon and again on Sunday evening to what this part of Lihue has to offer. It's not really fair to say that this shopping center is fairly ghetto, even though the parking lot was nearly full when I came here. Although it's a far cry from the malls I have been to on Oahu and Maui, this strip mall is a little disappointing and sad at the same time. For what it's worth though, it has its industrial charm and it helps the community with its presence. Especially with the communal laundromat there, many residents can do their thing here while having a meal or even go bowling on any time they wish. The overall experience here at the Rice Shopping center was okay and average. While it was nice to enjoy the benefits of travel and also enjoy restaurants and businesses via yelp, the Rice Shopping Center was not really your typical shopping center. As mentioned before, the laundromat seemed to be the key feature at this mall, as well as the bowling alley. They also have a restaurant and bar too, although I didn't go in there during this go around. I wish that they had more stores here, but the ambiance was decent to zilch. Since it was a weekend, this place was a ghost town and I thought it would have been busier. Rice Shopping center is located on Rice Street and Kress Street in the heart of Lihue, Kauai. I suspect that most merchants here accept credit cards, but cash is always king most places. I am not sure if the Kauai Bus comes through the area, but I rented a car during my stay on Kauai, so best bet is to check the Kauai bus schedule if you are commuting that way around Lihue and on Kauai in general. For the rest of us, there is plenty of parking here and more in the back lots, as well as nearby residential areas too. For me, I ended up checking out Pho Kauai as dinner option for Saturday night and the bowling alley as an entertainment venue for Sunday afternoon. Pho Kauai was a good option for y'all who love Pho and any type of Vietnamese cuisine. For the most part though, it was cool to be in a vintage bowling alley, especially when these kinds of businesses are a dying breed. We need to keep bowling alive to keep the business going! For me, while it was good to come here to Rice Shopping center for food and entertainment options, I've seen better and been in better places. This shopping center lacks that charisma that other neighborhood shopping centers do. Would I recommend this shopping center? Maybe. While the restaurant/bar is always a good choice, or maybe the Pho enticed you, and the bowling alley is your gym, come on down and experience this shopping venue for yourself. It can be a downer though, just fair warning. You've been warned. 3.0 stars for the overall experience - the shopping center as a whole. I was underwhelmed. Support local! C
