I went in looking for a gelatin free supplement. The lady working there was unfriendly. I asked about a vegan product, she said they had it, led me over to it. I read the ingredients and it had gelatin in it. She didn't care at all. As a resident, I want to support local businesses but that kind of attitude and inattention reminds me of how easy it is to shop on Amazon.

I love this strip mall. Great Starbucks, great stores and they have many fun free events. They also have the best Santa ever at Christmas time. If you have children, don't miss Santa!!

It's a depressing small outdoor mall, but it comes in handy during a rainstorm, and has some conveniences and a relatively interesting food court (Sone's for the win!) Only locals here.

Lihue's mall with anchor stores of Macy's, Longs Drugs, and Ross' Dress for Less. Kukui Grove is centrally located, clean and open. It is not a covered mall, so difficult to walk around in the rain, as it was earlier today. There is a nice, covered center stage with seating for dining or watching whatever special event is happening. It seems to be a gathering place for locals with their families. There are multiple dining options too! Worth a look see!

From the viewpoint of a mainland person, this is a small mall. For an island of 72000 people, this is the super-mall. But rating a mall on the basis of size is silly. The things that make a mall good or bad are the store selection, vehicle access, transit access, and amenities. This place has a pretty good variety of stores for its size. It's on a major highway, and parking is abundant. I'm not a Kauai Bus expert, but I assume it stops at the mall. That's all good. The real strong points are two of the amenities. One is the "Keiki Kourt". Although it hurts to see "court" spelled with a "K", our four-year-old had a blast playing there. There was no sign of official supervision, but the other kids all played nicely. Kauai kids are as friendly as the grown-ups. Another great amenity is the food court. A typical mainland mall has a selection of some or all of the same dozen or so chain restaurants, all so bland that the Italian chain restaurant tastes pretty much like the Chinese chain restaurant. By contrast, this place has a bunch of one-of-a-kind restaurants, mostly Asian. One of them is Sone's, which may be the best food on the island. The only chain restaurant I noticed in the mall was the Starbucks, and it's well away from the food court. I've only encountered one other mall with a food court in this league, and it's also a pretty small mall. When my wife and I took my parents here so they could eat at Sone's, my mother inexplicably went to a Chinese restaurant across the food court instead, and took so long to order that she had hardly any time to eat before they were off to the airport. She seemed happy with her soup, or at least annoyed that she had to leave most of it behind. Finally, I gather from other reviews that there's a farmers' market here. That's cool too. It's also nice to see that the mall doesn't have a lot of vacancies. (OK, the K-Mart is dead, but the vulture capitalists have killed those almost everywhere.) The managers here must be doing something right. People of Kauai, you can be proud of your little mall.

This was the only place where I could find my beloved Bang drinks when I was visiting Kauai and going to CrossFit Kapa'a. Great service and they introduced me to some tasty protein bars. This is my new go-to place for workout kit when I'm in Kauai. Mahalo!

I guess if you are a Kauai native, you are used to Kukui Grove being your definition of a "mall." Personally for me, this is quite sad. I have visited Kauai many times and have paid visits to Kukui Grove a hand full of times. Every single time I've been there, it is so deserted. My thoughts- How do these stores stay in business?! There is literally no one there... How do merchants make money? The variety of businesses at Kukui Grove are extremely limited. That said, this probably leads back to how deserted this mall is and which is why a lot of good retailers could come here, but choose not to due to lack of business. A few businesses include a Jeans Warehouse, Deja Vu Surf, Game Stop, Claire's... The biggest chain retailer in this mall is Macy's, which also has limited merchandise quantities. The entire mall is open air, which can be nice. Except, when it rains, the most shelter you will find besides entering stores, is a patio area with dirty tables and chairs. I also found areas of the mall filled with unpleasant urine-like scents. Kukui Grove definitely has potential. The should start by building customer volume. I guess since I'm more of a city person, my mall standards are higher. When I think of a "mall," I think countless varieties... which clearly Kukui Grove lacks.

Small time mall. Been around forever. It is what it is. Don't expect no Ala Moana and you won't be disappointed. I'm happy that they decided to put up a keiki play area. I'm sure they'll have more foot traffic because of it.

We were early heading to the airport and hung out here. Nice basic mall, did some last minute shopping and got some food.

If you go on a rainy day expecting a mall keep in mind the shopping mall is mostly outdoors, with a few covered areas. Personally I wouldn't go again as there are much better shopping areas on the island that aren't much further. The only two good things are there are 2 chains (Macy's and KMart) if you're looking for something super cheap, and the few places to eat weren't bad. If you do decided to eat there keep an eye out for the waves of pigeons.

Very no frills, but it's close to the airport if you need to grab sundries, hit up Macy's for clothes and get your Jamba or Starbucks fix. On our visit to the mall we got sandwiches from the Deli, smoothies from Jamba Juice and sundries from Longs Drugs. Lots of parking available and easily accessible location make this a convenient shopping stop.
