    The place is small and compact. All the stores are situated on the edge of a square like complex with the parking lot and driveway in the middle. There's Starbucks, Mcdonald's, Times Supermarket, some Asian restaurants, Long's, and a GameStop. A great place to just quickly shop and go.

    Parking lot is terrible. Park upstairs for your sanity's sake. I go to Times for meat, fish and shrimp. Fantastic Sam's for haircut. See Jenny if you like fade style cuts. Peppas is my favorite plate lunch place anywhere. Sides are good and main courses are cooked perfect. It's a little pricey but always delicious 😋

  • 4/5 Honolulu Door-to-Door Pick up and Delivery S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very clean, full time security. There are plenty of necessities—4 banks, 4 ATM’s, a mailbox, electric vehicle charging station. There are 24 hour services too-Longs, or CVS, and McDonald’s drive through. There’s a Times supermarket, a Baskin Robins, several take out eateries, including a bakery. A nail shop and a Fantastic Sam’s, and Fun Factory show that it’s kind of marketed to women and families. It’s 24 hour feature and the availability of running water make it appealing to many homeless people who mostly do not cause problems to customers but the few that do are removed by security. Parking is pretty good though it might take a few minutes to get through the lot with cars stopped to reverse out or into parking stalls. A person can get most basic needs met here and it’s best reached by getting off the freeway (going west) at the Likelike exit. Getting off the freeway at the School Street exit takes too much unnecessary time, especially in heavy morning traffic if a driver has to go through downtown.

    I love the local music playing in the parking garage! Makes you feel so welcome and takes you AWAY from the fray of all the "not so local" things of town. Also, there's plenty of parking and such a good variety of stores, shops, restaurants!

    Plenty of parking but a bit hazardous with where. Some handicap parking but it is a bit to navigate. Great shops and wonderful food to have

    I grew up here and I just loved hanging out here with my family and friends...there used to be a bowling alley called Kam bowl but now they have a Kam bowl restaurant.

    Very convenient stop on our way from Kalihi to Kaneohe stopping at Starbucks. Good parking. Great service at Starbucks and we were on our way!

  • 3/5 Steven W. 1 year ago on Google
    Don't come here often.. Mainly because I hate the parking structure.. To clustered for my liking.. Don't really need anything there...

  • 5/5 Alan Snell (. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this place. Grew up in Kalihi and always awesome to see how much things have changed and stayed the same as well. We went to eat lunch at the former Kenny's now Kam Bowl restaurant. We went during lunch. They have awesome service and the food was greatly portioned along with their deserts. The coconut pie was so good with 1 large e scoop of ice cream. It was enough for my wife and I and my 3 year old. We also went to Jean's warehouse and Times to go to the Bank, however there is no Bank Of Hawaii no more only 2 of their newer deposit atms.. that was kind of a bummer. They also have a Longs drug store, Chinese restaurant, fun factory and other retailers to dine at and shop at. Will definitely visit this place again.

    It's always a gamble coming here. Tight parking and lanes. Shops are mostly good, but miss the right window and you could be standing in line for a long time or stuck in traffic.

  • 4/5 Justin W. 1 year ago on Google
    It's amazing how many stores there are. The layout is a little wierd but it's a good place to go if you want something to eat or need different types of services like banks, phone, and supermarket.

  • 4/5 Raisa M. 11 months ago on Google
    There are plenty of awesome shops and restaurants in this very tiny shopping center. I really just wish the parking spots were bigger for all of the big cars the people in this state love.

  • 4/5 R L J. 11 months ago on Google
    Parking is available on the 2nd floor. Expect waiting in line at some of the sit-down restaurants when dining on the weekends.

    One of my spots. The GameStop in this shopping center is one of the best on island. And the staff here are probably the best out of the locations Ive been. Times here is also a good one, second to only kaimuki times. But the T-Mobile store here is one of if not the best on the whole island. Been a T-Mobile fan since the "uncarrier" days. Having been a sub contracted repair tech during covid for the downtown Honolulu store before it closed, this stores staff is the best of all other locations. Very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and most of all approachable. Don't waste you time at other locations, make this your store. Only issues I have is the BBQ place. We all know them, hit this location needs fired the whole crew and start over. Seems everytime I eat here, I feel like death afterwards. Yep, Mac salad always warm for starters so I can only imagine how little attention the other raw food is treated. Sadly I try to support local, but this one is a for sure loser of all the food spots in this area!!

    It's really good shopping Mall to hang around and shop and eat they have everything you needs so bring the Ohana support the local business buy Hawaii Mahalo

  • 4/5 Milton K. 9 months ago on Google
    Starbucks and McDonalds I usually go for; and there is a Times and Longs Drugs too along with some restaurants and B&R Ice cream... Might seem crowded, but there really is ample parking, mostly in the shade. Easy access on and off freeway.

  • 2/5 The Travelling Crone Curiosity Shop, L. 9 months ago on Google
    This place is a nightmare for parking, very small parking stalls crammed into the lot, and the ppl visiting here are rude, and definitely not courteous to other drivers. I think mainly it's a cultural difference and if you are a haole and don't "fit in", you are stared upon the entire time of your visit. It has happened each time I've visited here, but unfortunately it has the closest grocery store (Times), which I find more expensive than Safeway.

  • 4/5 Cris Estrada J. 9 months ago on Google
    We went to the Kam Bowl Restaurant. Comfortable atmosphere w/local menu featuring their signature entree, "Oxtail Soup.

  • 5/5 Javier R. 4 months ago on Google
    Working here is such a fun environment the people are nice, the food and drink options all taste great, there's also grocery shopping and arcades to play at and you could even get your hair or nails done while your child stops by GameStop. Over all this place Kamehameha Shopping Center is a 5/5 stars for me because it is so convenient for whatever you may need! 😁

  • 5/5 James W. 5 months ago on Google
    Great collection of food and shops. There's something for the whole family. Parking can be a bit fun. Sometimes with cars coming and going so often it can get a bit crowded but as long as you have patience it works out really well and there is a good bus service here.

  • 4/5 Truckngirl 4 months ago on Google
    This is one of the oldest shopping centers in Honolulu. Anyone remember Kenny's (🎶At the Kam Shopping Center in Kalihi! 🎶)? It's parking lot challenged, but just be patient.

  • 1/5 Barbara W. 6 months ago on Google
    There is not one public restroom in this entire complex! Places like McDonald's and others don't only say "for customers only," they block the restroom doors entirely! Every Safeway on this island has a public restroom, but Times does not. The man I spoke to in the meat department said, "Our restrooms are for employees only, go to McDonald's!" Very rude and when I explained that McDonald's blocked their restrooms, he said, "Oh well!" I have a myriad of medical conditions that make using a restroom necessary in a quick fashion. This is a place I will never visit again!

  • 4/5 Jimmy F. 7 months ago on Google
    Old school shopping center with several anchor tenants and lots of small eateries and some shops. Longs Drug, Times Supermarket, McDonald's, Baskin Robbins, Jamba, and Starbucks are the major names to me. I personally like the Teoshoku Japanese restaurant, Bale Vietnamese sandwich, and the Fun Factory arcade. It doesn't have everything, but it has a good mix of things to run errands and keep the kids busy for a couple of hours. I'm not a fan of the crowded parking spaces, but I should just bite the bullet and park on the second floor vs. wasting my time hunting for a space on the ground floor. Iw I'll say that during rainy periods you are gonna want covered parking. I've never used the elevator or seen the security guard in the security station, but I know they exist there. We go here once every few weeks so we will be back.

  • 5/5 Diane L. 2 years ago on Google
    When I last stopped here, I always forget how busy it can be, but it's no wonder when it's a one stop shopping center. So many eatery's, sweets and supermarkets to get things done. I love how much it's thriving I like the idea that it's helping other stores keep business going.

  • 5/5 Maureen P. 1 year ago on Google
    Lots of choices to shop & eat. Times Supermarket is there, as well. Longs Drugstore also! Banks and Tmobile also

  • 5/5 Tayne 2 years ago on Google
    The parking lot is a gauntlet. It’s fun racing through and dodging cars and people, it’s like vitamins for me. They got lots of good shops, McD’s and starbucks is a go to.

  • 3/5 Ted Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Not the easiest place to navigate, either on foot or in the parking lot. Starbucks had zero pastries and I was the only customer. My only reason for a stop was coffee and a restroom. But, even that was a challenge. I'm sure the locals are happy to have this mall. But, a complete nightmare for any tourist.

  • 2/5 Sierra M. 2 years ago on Google
    Sadly no public restrooms. The bakery here had treats that fell abit more on the mediocre side. But the market store there would have pretty much anything you need.

  • 4/5 Brian B. 2 years ago on Google
    Times Market has well stocked shelves, fresh produce and great poke. There's also a CVS/ Longs with a pharmacy open 24 hours lots of delicious places to eat

  • 5/5 Dee A. 2 years ago on Google
    Good spot, need movie theater though, some kind of playground for the community of kalihi

  • 5/5 M V. 1 year ago on Google
    They have so many wonderful places to dine and shop. Longs, Times (they also have a stall that sells great roast duck and Char siu). Honu Bakery is amazing, Teishouko Japanese Restaurant, Peppa's Korean Food. Generous portions, great Kalbi. They also have a Vietnamese Bahn Mi Sandwich place too.

  • 4/5 Jervorius R. 2 years ago on Google
    Chill shopping center, minus the homeless guys (no offense, I love everyone equally) and police interactions. Excuse my honesty, it’s full of security guards, homeless people, and police (I assume because it’s so busy). I assume (assumption) this is high police traffic area, because I’ve seen 5 police cars in 2 hours—flying by and some random gentleman swinging a stick (martial arts) Still good food there; nevertheless, I stopped at Baile (Vietnamese restaurant), very GOOD and EXCELLENT customer service!! The employee (beautiful Asian woman & SUPER helpful with ordering!! Don’t let the drama of the surrounding space deter you from the restaurant—good spots in this place!!

  • 3/5 John W. 1 year ago on Google
    Alot of good places to shop. Very tight and packed parking

  • 4/5 Shawn S. 2 years ago on Google
    A small but, great local shopping mall. Free parking on 2-levels. You can get a haircut, coffee, phone services, bakery, drug store, grocery store, local foods & much much more...

  • 5/5 Michelle P. 1 year ago on Google
    It has my favorite clothing store here, Jean's Warehouse. And a Baskin Robbins. And a 24 hour Longs Drugs.

  • 5/5 Anne M. 2 years ago on Google
    This bakery has the cutest cupcakes and cakes, however, they are known for their turtle bread which is so delicious ... it's really hard to eat just one piece! They also serve a decent cup of coffee. When i was there, i was sorta in tunnel vision so i didn't notice if they had reopened the seating. I have been there for a book club meet up ... pre-pandemic, so I know they have a seating area. Definitely try out that turtle bread ... It makes a good snack/dessert to share ... Or not!!! Heck, i basically are mine for breakfast! Oh. I usually get the big one, but they also offer a smaller version. I'm attaching a photo, but I've reviewed them before and may have posted pics of their drink menu then.

  • 3/5 Achilles K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice selection of restaurants and stores, but parking is horrendous. Highly recommend avoiding during lunch hours

  • 3/5 Annette N. 1 year ago on Google
    It's ok The oxtail soup was flavorful but kinda pricey My brother's locomoco left much to be desired. The place had signs everywhere regarding the wearing of your face mask It will be awhile before I go back

  • 5/5 cj 1 year ago on Google
    Times Supermarket, Longs Drugs, banks, starbucks, subway, jamba juice, and a few more restaurants! Perfect for stop & go/pit stops.

  • 4/5 John C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great shops here. Has one of the last Bale sandwich shops. Also home to Kam Drive inn and a great ox tail soup.

  • 5/5 Tiana A. 1 year ago on Google
    Grew up shopping here so I may be bias, but I LOVE it. So many memories and nostalgia. It's fairly clean and I love the shops they have here.

  • 4/5 WarCrusade 1 year ago on Google
    Great place, especially for locals. Not much around here but get one arcade, pharmacy, supermarket and some kinds of clothing and many restuarants. People are kind and nice round here aslong as you respect one another. Many kids come here too afterschool in the afternoon to chill out.

  • 5/5 Shannon Gay, R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is like home. I love a lot of the stoperiod know a lot of the people who work at the stores and I just enjoy the place over all.
