“I visited the Don Quijote Honolulu store in March 2025, which had just opened on February 15, 2025.
There were many people in the store, and it was very lively, which made me realize how popular it is. There was a wide selection of souvenirs such as macadamia nuts and chocolate, and some items were cheaper than ABC Store and other supermarkets.
The aisles were also wider than Don Quijote in Japan, giving it an American scale. Japanese food and daily necessities were also available, and it seemed to be used by not only tourists but also locals.
There was a wide variety of products, so it was fun just to look around.
I visited Don Quijote Honolulu in March 2025, shortly after its grand opening on February 15, 2025.
The store was bustling with many customers, which showed how popular it has already become. There was a wide selection of souvenirs like macadamia nuts and chocolates, and some items were cheaper than at ABC Stores or other supermarkets.
Additionally, the aisles were wider than those in Japanese Don Quijote stores, reflecting the American scale. They carried Japanese groceries and household items, and it seemed to be a place not just for tourists but also for locals.
There was a large variety of products, and just browsing the store was enjoyable.”
“This place is amazing from the little shops in side to all the food options. It's a two story building with EVERYTHING you need. And it's absolutely beautiful inside.”
“It's cheaper than ABC and has a wide variety of products I buy it at Walmart on the day I arrive in Hawaii. I bought a whole pineapple and it was so delicious?
You can get the all-purpose balm (Surfer's Salve) cheaper than others ”
“This is a popular department store that operates all over the United States and is also popular among locals.
The essential thing to do when shopping here is to first obtain an International Savings Card, and if you show it at the time of checkout, you will receive a 10% discount.
There are some excluded items such as cosmetics, but even on sale items, you can receive an additional 10% discount after the ○○% discount.
The place to receive the coupon is at the cashier counter near the bath supplies section of the linen section on the 3rd floor.
Tourists are asked to show their hotel key or passport to confirm their identity, but Japanese people never forget to show their face pass.
Especially if you're looking for clothing regardless of brand (everyday wear, loungewear, etc.), it's much cheaper than the street stores at Ala Moana Center.
You can find items that fit not only baby and children's clothes, but even adults if you go to the American size high school student section.
A popular nationwide department store also favored by locals.
When shopping here, it's essential for overseas tourists to first obtain an International Savings Card. Showing this card at the checkout will give you a 10% discount. Although some items such as cosmetics are excluded, you can still get an additional 10% off sale items after the initial discount.
You can pick up the coupon at the checkout counter near the bath products section in the lingerie department on the third floor. For tourist verification, you may be asked to show a hotel key or passport, although sometimes Japanese tourists can get a pass just by looking.
If you're looking for clothing without a particular brand (such as casual or loungewear), this is much more affordable than the street-level stores at Ala Moana Center.”
“Some hidden gems with great prices but you have to sort through the items sometimes. Quite a bit of designer gear. There's a Nordstrom rack in the heart of Waikiki and another one about a 15 min walk from Ala Moana shopping centre. We found the one near the ala Moana shopping centre had more stock but the Waikiki one is still excellent”
“We visited on Easter Sunday and as soon as we entered we were greeted by 2 sales people. They were helpful and informed us of the sale that day. The store is smaller than we are use to but we did find what we wanted and with the 30% off it was a good price.”
“It was a two-story building, spacious, and had a great selection of products!
It's cheap and comes in many sizes!
Souvenir basket bag for $11
I bought a branded bath towel for $9!”
“I went and you have to be patient and look through racks but I found some good bargains and spent more money than intended but good prices couldn't pass up opportunity. Highly recommend if you bargains hunter.”
“We found all kinds of souvenirs for our friends and families. The signage to get from the gate to the exchange could be improved. Also, found REAL LABUBU dolls with accessories & children's clothing.”
“Great assortment of outdoor stuff. I assumed it was just plants and landscaping, but they have bbqs, coolers, and everything else you could need for outside. Good priced and helpful staff.”
“The store serves as a modest yet comprehensive spot for shopping clothes, shoes, home essentials, small gadgets, and gifts. Its location is quite handy, perfect for a brief shopping excursion during lunch breaks or post-work hours.”

“The store was clean and well stocked and the staff friendly. It is pretty much what you expect from a Ross. It is harder to find as it is off the parking area on the Ocean side with a sign above the door, not the usual big sign of the other Ross stores. It is more of a midsized store.”
“I'm a big fan of the discount sections at this store due to their impressive variety. It is an unbeatable shopping destination for clothing, footwear, home goods, small gadgets, and presents. The store's convenient location is ideal for a quick shopping spree during lunch hours or after work. It never disappoints me, and I always end up finding something appealing to purchase. This branch stands out in terms of cleanliness and overall quality compared to other branches I've been to.”

“It's helpful because I'm working late.
I stopped by because I needed disposable chopsticks to eat in my room, but they don't sell just chopsticks, and if you purchase a side dish, they will give you one at the register.
However, I was told that they were out of stock that day, so I received a fork instead.”
“Love Ross. Very friendly employees and very helpful as well. Love how the store looks. Love that I could find things that I needed. Thank you Ross for a great experience.”
“It’s have the best employees that are attentive and helpful. And has more variety of choices but you have to be quick because customers can buy out the products quickly.”
“Retail Obsessed Stressed Shopper... Yup this is my retail therapy and yes there are negative pros and cons shopping here but it's still five star regardless as all I can say about Ross...thank you as they provide amazing finds if you take the moment to browse which is very therapeutical lol! This Hawaii Kai Towne location isn't the largest though I did find some favorite items at this location sometime I think it's the layout as having a smaller sales floor does make it less overwhelming to go through each aisle which is very narrow here finding it frustrating to walk pass a shopper with a shopping cart as some aisle makes it impossible to browse pass them. The staff here is a delight as I bring my purchase with getting a huge compliment CUTE! We chatted a bit and loved the price is a fraction in comparison to other shops. Retail therapy is certainly found here. Thank you!”
“Michelle W. The store manager was so gracious in helping me,we had to walk around the store and was like no problem for her I really appreciated that when even initially the thing I was looking for was not there I was pleasantly surprised that she directed me to something even better mahalo for your service Michelle! Super satisfied customer!”
“I very much enjoyed my experience getting Jo Malone fragrances with Christine and the other very cool representative. Christine is such an awesome knowledgeable spokesperson, and very awesome. I will be back to get other fragrances and dresses in the future!”

“They are conveniently located next to our hotel, the Park Shore Waikiki. Great place to get cheap beer (compared to bar prices,) and snacks! Very friendly cashiers.”
“I asked multiple people for the 30% discount for the all motion clothing. I just came 2 days ago to purchase pants and he helped me. My friend wanted pants and everyone else said the discount ends today, May 26th,2025. No one knew what to do, they just told me there’s no more discount. Then I saw Vince tonight, he remembered me and helped us. Take care of him, he cares and he’s a good worker. Mahalo”
“It was great to have so many cute souvenirs.It is also a very convenient place as it has a fully equipped restroom and a sense of cleanliness.I was able to change my child's diaper, which was very helpful.”
“I was in the area renewing my ID with the Chief, aka Dad hehe, and we walked over to the exchange for some snacks, drinks and to browse around. This exchange has tons of all things Coast Guard. Plentiful shirts, jackets, baby outfits, and CG uniforms/costumes for the kiddos. The line at the register is never long when we stop by.”
“Always has everything I need when I make a trip to the Island. Would be very cool if they could stock Beatbox Hard Tea. Would definitely add to the awesome alcohol selection they have”
“Love shopping at the Navy Exchange or better known as the NEX. They have everything you could want in 4 walls. It’s a department store all in one plus a liquor store which is 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ right there, hands down! I literally can buy everything there except my grocery and that’s just right next door, but in the same building. You can’t get better than that! Great job Pearl Harbor, Navy Exchange!”

“This is not a typical Target , you will not find everything a regular Target store stocks as its a bit smaller. Has friendly team members stocking shelves who will help you if you cant find stuff. Big plus for me is the have real human (tax paying) cashiers - much rather support a neighbor vs some foreign made check out machine.”
“I was ‘ono' for a Ruscello's Burger and enjoyed the Burger and all the accompaniments very much! Service was great! Mandy was my server and she provided the great service! Also, Raven seated me and was welcoming which I appreciated! Looking forward to my next visit to Ruscello ...”
