They definitely need to widen the parking and add more handicap parking stalls. Sitting in the restaurant eating my breakfast I had a front row seat to watch others try and fit into the narrow stalls. Several of them ended up over lapping the stall next to them and just giving up, staying like that as they dashed into the various shops to grab something and go.

Five stars for City Square Shopping Center (CSSC)CSSC is a great shopping center in the lower Kalihi area. It's situated next to the Kapālama Canal and diagonally across from the Honolulu Community College.CSSC houses numerous great businesses such as Sugoi (the best garlic chicken), Thang's, Kamehameha Bakery (home of the poi malasadas), Young's Fishmarket, UBAE, and many many more. There's the Chinatown Marketplace and a variety of other stores such as a pet store and even a 7-Eleven with a gas station next door.I like to visit CSSC earlier in the morning versus latter in the day. The parking lot gets crazy crowded later in the day, so it's better to hit there earlier, if can. There's also metered parking on the perimeter of CSSC, if there's no parking available.Overall, a great little shopping center in Kalihi with a variety of great businesses. Enjoy!

For an alternative to shopping for fresh produce in Chinatown, head to City Square Shopping Center. There's ample free parking, though you may need patience during peak weekend hours.You can check the quality and compare prices among the many vendors, without worrying about whether your parking meter will expire.

Parking is cray cray but what's even more cray cray is the grumpy ol security guard. I guess HCC students would park here for classes because it is free but they're not supposed too as it is only for customers. The security guard watches cars and marks their tires with I'm assuming chalk. And if it hasn't moved after 3 hours, he writes you a nice (sarcastic) ticket. So if you plan on spending a good amount of time here, be sure to always move your car around..whether you are getting your hair or nails done, dining at the pancake place and getting some groceries...best to just move it or pay the meter on the street..

Great services along with Shops that carry what you need, find them all at City.... City Square Annex building is across from Young's Fish Market on Kalani Street. With ample free parking space, surely you'll love it more, but not when it's congested. Meter street parking is available too just in case parking lot is full.~City Square Shopping Center in the heart of Kapalama, Kalihi a.k.a "The Center of Hawaii's Food Universe. All in one place, Asian like me will surely love it. Convenient place to grab some of our produce & fresh fish. Browse an amazing array of stores & diverse services, everything from A-Z. After shopping, just a few steps and you'll experience a unique selection of international culinary delights & plenty of local favorites too! You'll able to experience an indoor Chinatown Market Place where you can grab locally caught fish and fresh local produce & fruit. Got kids? Heads up to Chuck E. Cheese to entertain them. There is also a place to grab your tropical flowers and stuff for garden nursery ~ Koolau Farmers will help you with that. And a whole lot more. Arrange your day and don't skip this one to explore.~Mahalo & HAPPY JUANDERING fellow yelpers!

It's great place to go now with lots of parking riot to the COVID19 during lunch hours not suggested to go. It's a grab and go for many laborers and many banking institutions nearby. They do have many eateries of your choice...pet shops, barber shops, young's Hawaiian foods, Chucky Cheese, China towns indoor market and many more one can explore that you'll find eats that one will not be disappointed!

Love this place. Lots of ample parking and it's FREE. Mom likes to come here to get her produce and it beats me having to go to Chinatown and pay for parking and deal with the homeless.The kids love to go to the comic bookstore, Kamehameha bakery is also in the same shopping center, the pancake restaurant, Ubae, and Sugois. Were fond of the boba spot b/c they use fresh fruits as opposed to the powders for flavoring.

City Square Shopping Center is located between Dillingham Boulevard and a little pass Kalani Street. It's a very big area that consists of different food establishments, Koolau Farmers, pet shop, hair salon, a little toy shop, credit union, 7-11, as well as produce and fish market.The Department of Motor Vehicles was located at the City Square Shopping Center. They have now been relocated to a different building in Kalihi.There are ample of parking in front of the many businesses. There's even a section with small picnic tables for people to use. Tables can be used to enjoy a meal, sit down and talk story with coworkers, or smoke a cigarette.I have been to the City Square Shopping Center several times. Twice to Kamehameha Bakery to buy some freshly baked pastries. Once to Pancakes & Waffles to have breakfast since I was craving for pancakes. Twice to have onolicious Hawaiian food from Young's Fish Market.Too many food establishments to check out. Visits to City Square Shopping Center will happen in the future. 34/100

Bought Arizona green tea thought it would be 99 cents, but no they sold it for $2 almost $3.I asked why? Can clearly say 99 cents. Told her no matter where you buy this they have to sell it for 99 cents and asked why are you guys selling it for more than 99 cents.Owner says they can sell it for as much as they want.. I said it's illegal to sell something different to what's its advertising. Owner says No and hush me out.
