Shopping and dining in Pearl City, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. I didn't know the name of this Shopping Center until Peter Y. told me. I described it as: McDonald's on one end and TJ Maxx on the far end. In-between, there are stores like Longs Drugs Store, Petco, Sally Beauty Supply, Rokaru, and Foodland Farms. There are two small buildings across from the long strip of businesses. One building has shops such as Hana Tea and AT&T. The other building with Dunkin on the corner has a nail salon. He took a while to think, but he figured it out! It's not even in Google, but my friends, Rachie, Liza, Malia, and Joyce, wrote reviews for Pearl City Gateway! I've been visiting this shopping center often because Longs, Dunkin', and TJ Maxx are within walking distance of each other. I like this Dunkin because it opens earlier than the Pearlridge location. Thanks for the great selection of shops and free parking!

The gateway to it all…read more.. From McDonald's to TJ Maxx this shopping center is home to many local favorites all in one area making it a convenient stop to have lunch, shop and even get your pedicure done all with lots of free parking. Located just down the street from Pearl Highlands this lesser known named area is a place that many have been myself included out of convenience as the last time was for Hana Tea with my bestie which later turned to a retail therapy session at TJ Maxx we laughed and reasoned with our choices. One stop shopping is at this great place along with various services not just saves time but supporting various local businesses is always something I do love and they offer that here. Thank you!

The monorail has been broken for months. Please fix it.... I minused a star…read more I still enjoy the wide variety of stores and can always find something to buy. Love shopping here. Many free stalls and I can always find a space even when its usually crowded.

While I do like going to the mall management and its security are running the operations poorly…read more You can't find security anywhere at night. No phone numbers posted in prime areas. The monorail has been out of service for so long it makes getting around difficult. Basically the whole idea went down hill. Elevator and escalators are always out of service making it difficult for seniors and disabled people to gain access. A law suit should be addressed for NOT being ADA compliant. In certain area maintenance of debris and leaves and yard waste does not get picked up often enough. Parking lot strips are so faded the markings are hard to see. Lights are not working and visible in some areas. Management needs to be more active and walking the grounds instead of being in the office all day long. Security needs to be out and about roaming and visible more often. Not just watching a camera.

Pearl Highlands Center has a mixture of shopping, dining, and entertainment. Located in Pearl City,…read morethis shopping center has an array for different tastes and preferences. Visually appealing and well-organized with retailers such as Ross, Guitar Center, a Food Court, chain restaurants like Buffalo Wild Wings and Regal Cinema. Free Ample parking is available for all members of 24 Hour Fitness as opposed to Downtown Bishop and Kapiolani locations. For those who take public transportation, it's easy to get here via The Bus or The Sky Line!

Shopping and dining in Pearl City, Oahu, Hawaii…read more.. Pearl Highlands is a long strip mall with two levels. Sam's Club and 24 Hour Fitness are on the lower level, and everything else is on the top. There is another building - on the street side - with Pizza Press and a few other businesses. Parking is free, but the stalls are a bit tight. This is unfortunate because there are many great shops and eateries here! Regal Theater is on one end, and Ross Dress For Less is at the other. The food court, Pearl Highlands Market, is in-between - next to Little Joe's Steakhouse and Liliha Bakery. In the past, I only went to Ross, and the theater. Today, I went to Cotti Coffee inside Highlands Market. Before today, I've been to the food court a couple of times, but now that Chicken & Brisket is there, I will have to return!

Who's down wid' DEALAGES???…read more Bruddah Fran is gonna be generous & share da 411 with ya. Did ya know on Oahu we actually have an outlet mall? If you're interested in looking to DEALAGES, just head on down to the Westside (in the Waipahu area) because the Waikele Premium Outlet stores is there! There are so many stores here, so when you do visit the Waikele Premium Outlet, hopefully you'll find a store that will appeal for you. As for me, a few of my favorite stores I like to visit is - the Lowe's hardware store, Reyn Spooner, & the Van's shoe store. Beside shopping, the outlet mall also has restaurants, a small food court, & numerous food trucks in the parking lot so finding something yummy to eat shouldn't be too hard. Parking here is a breeze, as the outlet mall has ample parking. If you don't have a car, I noticed a lot of tourist would catch a shuttle to this outlet mall. I guess you just gotta do your homework to see the transportation options before coming down here. Here's a link of the Waikele Outlet Mall - https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/waikele/stores

For years love shopping at the Waikele Premium Outlets. Coach, GAP, Sephora, Starbucks, Levi's &…read moreVera Bradley are my go to stores, but every store is fun to browse and great to enjoy lunch with my family. Parking is easily accessible, and there's a Chilli's Restaurant, McDonald's, KFC, Baskin Robin's, and many other eateries. The food trucks are also there serving delicious varieties of local hawaiian & authentic flavors. Leonard's Malasada doughnuts is a must, can't go home without a dozen!

The little slightly hidden place…read more.. Not the only shopping place in the area Waimalu Plaza sits on a busy corner of Moanalua Road and Kaahumanu Street but don't let this hidden place fool you as it's filled with great local small biz including a full Safeway. Would you expect to find City Mill along side Pink Box and The Face Shop or Hakuyosha, Red Wing Shoes, N&J Nails, Pet Clinic or Pacific Diamond...I honestly didn't think so lol! Sikdorak III, Subway, Jamba, Pho, Pancakes & Waffles and even Paesano is something that got me hungry though I really came here to chill at their Starbucks as this location is a great place to do so as it's spacious with lots of seating. Lots of various parking areas including the ones right beside Starbucks does make it an easy place to swing by and to get a long of shopping or just errands done. Thank you!

Got here around lunch time on a Saturday. It's great to see the businesses here are doing great!…read more However it took a while to find a parking spot and the parking lot was jam packed with cars. My usual spot is Kabuki's Restaurant, and I like the okazu-ya. Also Chun Wah Kam for their baked manapua, and pork hash. So happy these businesses survived the pandemic phase.

Huge parking lot lots of eateries stores shopping areas lot to choose from from a Chinese…read moreRestaurant Kam Wa Chun just a few to mention Marie

The forgotten mall…read more.. Well it's more of the old school type of mall with a single strip going down a straight line with various biz mostly foodies type are found here but you'll read it's the parking and yes I agree as many of us would rather find the one that's closest to the biz of your choice it's seriously the luck of the moment. Though parking at the very next lane is no different really from the first as it's just a few steps but what really gets me is that it seems like the sun just beams straight down to this area as it's blazing hot which is why it's not my favor spot the does have a slight shade from the building itself but everyone else bakes if you're here for a long period of time. We came for some tea and talked but didn't stay very long and the bathroom situation is pretty much non existent as well. Thanks!

*To update: the guy I referred to in this review is named Ryan.*…read more This place is always busy with people browsing and buying. You'll come out with something for sure. From office supplies to bath products - there's something for everyone. I went in for one item and left with more things than expected. Mostly Japan imported goods with a price tag; if not - price is $2.25. The beginning of each aisle has a sign with prices. So far, everything I've bought was $2.25 items. The items may not be of high quality but you get what you pay for. However, I did buy some well-made, durable items. All sales are final by the way. I like the customer service here. They're helpful, informative and pleasant. One clerk, who was stocking, stopped what she was doing and took the time to explain and show me the price system. Since I haven't been to Daiso in years she refreshed my memory. The cashiers are also pleasant with a laidback disposition. A guy who rang me up today at the far right register stood out. Unfortunately, I didn't get his name. Just the way he told me to have a good day gave off vibes that were so genuine. Don't pass this place up if you're in the Pearl City Shopping Center. It reminds me of a novelty shop with all kinds of stuff and gadgets.

My husband is traveling for work and is currently in Hawaii right now. He's Japanese and loves to…read moreseek out the Japanese stores like this because there are always so many different things to find. This store is very large and clean. It's well lit and has a lot of room to get around. There were a lot of meetings to look at and find! He was able to grab a few things for our grandkids and enjoyed chatting with the employees and other customers. If you're looking for something to do and want to check out a slightly different kind of dollar store, give this one a try!
