“This is one of my favorite town centres but you can find a lot of different things eateries souvenir shops a lot of stuff you can buy for knick knacks if you want to take home special if you're a tourist you will love this place”
“it's a good place for people to get together and spend time. Parking is limited and a store there validates a parking ticket that you could get a discounted rate instead of paying full rate-- once you visit a store, they will have a barcode available for the discounted rate.”
“This shopping center is cute. I went into the Safeway and everyone was friendly. I went to a restaurant (Vietnamese or Thai?) and they were friendly. Basically every time I'm there it's a friendly experience.”
“I like to window shop here, lots to see and for sale stores and mini boutique. I frequent Target and bought lots of grocery here during my three weeks vacation.”
“They have farmer's markets occasionally and the parking lot fills up fast. Got lucky and scored a spot. Lots of options in this center to please any pallet. The Greek spot seemed the busiest in addition to Zippy's. Kona brewery resides here but they were having an employee Christmas party so we didn't get to see it. The ice cream spot looks good but no free samples.”
“I mean...let's be real most people can't even walk through the doors here unless they have military ID,veteran or know someone but if you do, the Pearl Harbor NEX is basically version of Costco executive.
In simple terms, this place has almost everything. Need a new TV, standard household essentials, uniform gear, local snacks, or clothes? It's pretty much a one-stop shop. It's massive, and the layout actually makes it pretty easy to get everything in one trip. If not go next door to the Commissary for groceries. Tip compare the price .
If you have the hookup or the privileges to get in, it's easily one of the best perks around. Definitely hard to beat!”
“The service and waffles were great, the person who worked there was very friendly to us and my dad said she was a waffle master, so I felt like her waffles were so good they could win an award.”
“Sunday morning is a great way to go shopping in the shopping center at Foodland. There’s a lot of parking I got what I needed and I was out within a reasonable amount of time. The service at Foodland is excellent”
“An amazingly vast number of shops, with couture designers' flagship stores as well as your local ABC Stores BUT again, just SOOOOO incredibly crowded. It's a really nice outdoor walk along the strip, which is very clean, large sidewalks, and fairly friendly people/tourists, but would hope for better restaurants, I think they're lacking the number of restaurants needed to service all of us hungry people.”
“Nice place to go, but very tight to get around in my wheelchair. Aisles are narrow and could not move from aisle to aisle well. If you are walking you will be fine.”
“Multiple food, dessert, and other small businesses to choose from. Nicely kept lawns and parking lot. I usually will hit up Taco Bell or Panda Express if I am over that way.”
“Been a great venue for hosting all the dog-related fairs and exhibitions lately. Located conveniently near Ward theatres with a huge parking lot, this is a great location for dog ownes and lovers to converge. Place is always clean and with lots of sitting opportunities. AC in the main buildings as well as elevators between floors.”
“The Royal Hawaiian Center is absolutely worth visiting for the beautiful setting, luxury shops, and great restaurants... but honestly, the real star of the show may be the public restrooms. Heated TOTO bidet seats in a shopping center? Now that is luxury. 😂”
“It's a little cheaper than Waikiki.
You can get cut flowers with a tropical feel at low prices.
Displaying it in your hotel room will make you feel like you're traveling.”
“Whenever you head to Hawaii Kai from downtown Honolulu or Ala Moana on the island, chances are you will pass through the quaint area of Niu Valley. This small shopping mall sits between Aina Haina shopping center in Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai Towne Center & Koko Marina center in Hawaii Kai. It's a quaint little strip mall, anchored by a church, 7-Eleven convience store, and the Jack in the Box along Kalanianaole Highway. You may miss it if you're not looking for it, but it is a shopping hub, that's basically a food / restaurant stop for anyone and everyone who needs to stop here and pick up daily necessities. With that said, the Niu Valley shopping center isn't really a shopping center, just a collection of restaurants that come together to bring the community some variety in between Aina Haina and Hawaii Kai just so you don't have to travel too far into town to get what you need. I've come here twice already in the year 2020 just to check things out in the area. I noticed a couple of new additions in 2020 April, especially a new Vietnamese restaurant called "Pho Time" as well as two Japanese restaurants, called Café Asia and Gyotaku. Jack in the Box fast food restaurant has been around the property as far as I can remember - as well as the King's Chapel church. The 7-Eleven conveience store has been around for a solid number of years too. If you pass this strip mall, you're missing on a lot of potentially good eats here in east Oahu. The overall experience here at the Niu Valley shopping center can be described as underwhelming at best. While the shopping center is very much open air, it does lack that certain appeal when it comes to closed air conditioned shopping mall venues like Pearlridge shopping center and Kahala Mall, to name a few on the island. I arrived here around 1pm on separate occassions on April 2020 searching for cheap eats. The first time I discovered for the first time - Pho Time, which I assumed is relatively brand new or at least 6 months new. I can be sure that I'll be back to try this place when this pandemic is contained. Both experiences here on a Sunday afternoon seemed to be dead at best, but at least there was a few people roaming about and there was parked cars and a line of cars snaking through the Jack in the Box drive thru lane. Signs of life here on a weekend is nice, especially during a crisis. It was still quiet though, albeit eerie to see. Everything was take out only, but at least the restaurants were open. Just can't sit down and dine in though. Even the King's Church was closed for services. I'm sure it's like that across the island. You probably woudn't think it is a shopping center if you were crusing on by Kalanianaole Highway, but it's here open for your business. Come on by if you are in the area. The good thing about Niu Valley shopping center is that there is plenty of parking stalls here. Plenty for y'all to go shopping and your take out meals during this phase of year 2020. Since services for King's Church won't be held for a while, you can come here on the way home or on the way to work to pick up lunches or dinners whenever you can during this "stay-at-home" quarantine we have in place since March 25, 2020. I'm so grateful that many restaurants are open for take-out to help the community through this tough uncertain time we all are facing. I guess what makes us stronger will help us carry through this ordeal and onward to better days ahead. For me though, the shopping center doesn't feel like a real mall. Just a couple of buildings that is home to a few restaurants and a big parking lot, along with a church within a residential area and Kalanianaole Highway. While not a contemporary shopping center that you know and love like Ala Moana or even Hawaii Kai Towne Center, Niu Valley shopping center serves the community surrounding it without having to travel too far for basic stuff for everyday living. I know I spent about an hour here buying my meals”
“Amazing. Went to eggs and things. The staff is friendly and the food is oh so delicious. The staff even recommends places to go and eat. Great first stop on our vacation.”
“This place has quite the ensemble of stores that really leave you satisfied if not a little frazzled. Parking is a zoo up top fine on lower lot. It has one of the premier poke foodlands, fokas bbq, tmob, ben Franklin hobby shop. With just these it would be the legitness. But it's also the cheapest storage place on the island(not recommended for long term storage) l & l, curry house, a bunch others I never patronize but no less desirable. This wine shop. Crazy its wassup!”

“I got there early, and the receptionist (Aubrey) was very helpful, friendly, and accommodating. I couldn't pay my copay and she arranged for me to pay at a later date, then I remembered I just got a new credit card and she arranged for me to use it. She assisted me with my new c-pap machine and gave me extra items that I needed for it. Had me watch a video about the use of my machine and gave me verbal advice on how to use it.”
“Fairly good experience!
Only downside is they don’t take smart wallet / phone tap but only cards or cash. We didn’t have wallet with us after swimming so can’t buy food inside the theater. We went to Whole Foods next door and was able to get some food for movie (if you do this too, use elevator, walk 1st floor parking lot to get through the theater building, and then fast access to Whole Foods next door - don’t run around the block which is too far)
Funny part is that the guy smiled at us and said there is a ATM machine for cash; I don’t have my card with me otherwise I would just use it to buy food. So there is that interesting dead lock situation ?”
“I always come to the Marketplace here for fresh papayas. It’s like a farmer’s market. They have the best price ($1/lb, $0.5/lb for overripe) and always fresh and delicious.”

“I walked in the front door, took the escalator up, turned left ,and easily found the Post office. I was able to ship a priority box of large odd-shaped souvenirs home + it arrived three days later (the day after I got home).”
“I go there all the time, they have Longs Drugs, Times Supermarket, a cookie store, American Savings Bank & several other restaurants & stores. There is ample parking there. One thing that they right want to fix is the pee smells in the stairwell.”
“Our Kaka'ako... Ya chances are you've been here whether it's a sandwich at Earl's, or a pedicure at Lux, though teas at Sun Tea Mix is so refreshing there's just so much here as I've been to Queen's Island Urgent Care more times than I'd like to admit not to mention H Mart along with it's food court on the 2nd floor and with first hour free parking at multiple different locations is convenient or some street metered parking is also there unless you're lucky to find some street free parking right across the street. Not much community area outside of each business especially on a rainy day like today but is a lovely relaxing vibe with lots of food and services available is a great place to do it all making it a popular spot for many folks. Thank you!”
“I didn't order anything other than the roast duck and pork belly. It was expensive. My roast pork was overcooked. My whole roast duck was okay. I didn't try any other dishes. The staff was great, they were very nice and polite”
“It's not "Restaurant Row" anymore, but still has a few great restaurants. And the sheer number of office buildings... If there was a fire, the amount of high tech equipment damage alone could bankrupt an insurance company. We're talking plastic surgeons, orthodontists, clinics, at least one diagnostic lab, not to mention all the business offices. Legal documents... Lots of businesses here. Luckily there's a bunch of 3D models explaining the layout, lying about.”
“One of our favorite shops at Ala Moana for all the kpop finds! My girls love spending their time and hard-earned money in here on posters, stickers and all the good finds.”

“We tried there only once, but we will definitely go back again! There is a pizza place that has great fresh pizzas! We also tried some Chinese food and ice cream! They were all great! The only shortcoming is I wish they had more sitting places.”
“Fresh Vegetables And All Assortments Of Fish And Meat Cuts A Wide Variety And At A Reasonable Price. Also Many Other Vendors All Walking Distance And Services Available In Same Parking Area.”
“A spectacular mall where you fill find anything you need! A true experience if you are wandering around this area. The foodcourt is probably my favourite for how much food they have!”
