Kapolei Shopping Center

Shopping and dining in Kapolei, Oahu, Hawaii...This VERY large strip mall has almost everything! I haven't had time to explore it fully, but someday, I will!So far, I have been here twice recently for the Hawaii State Federal Credit Union. In the past, I was at Sushi Bay... a very popular eatery.I know that there's a Safeway... and I saw some fast food restaurants across the parking lot... and Hele Gas Station! That's good to know!Longs will be useful to me in the future... and maybe 85°C Bakery and Mamaya.I'll be back!

12-9-22 Oh how I wish this shopping center was in our neighborhood. Why?They have so many good comfort food dining options, H&R Block, a nail place, a high school and so much more. There's enough parking whenever we've visited.My favorite pho place of all time for Bo bun hue is here.Where is it? If you are coming from Kapolei Commons, once you're out of the parking lot, take a left then go straight til you come to the main drag and take another left.An elevated service station will be on your left and Burger King will be on your right. Turn left into the parking lot.

This shopping center is the OG of Kapolei. I come here several times a week to eat atrestaurants like Sushi Bay, Tanaka Ramen and Pho & Co, shop at Longs and Safeway, bank at Hickam FCU and First Hawaiian Bank, and get awesome massages at Blue Thai. Love that it has lots of parking.

Visited the mart at this location and it was definitely worth the visit. The value for this location was great and they had specials at Safeway that was worth the drive.

Kapolei Marketplace is a strip mall right next to the freeway. It is anchored by the grocery chain, Safeway. It contains a multitude of different businesses. It has eateries, banks, automotive, salon, and specialty stores. The only reason I come to this place is for Sushi Bay. My husband always goes into Game Stop. They have a few fast food chains located here. I've seen KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and Panda Express.

I just picked up some Chicken fromthe Kapolei KFC. Janna, who works there gave such great customer service! She was helpful, cheerful and had such a beautiful smile. I deeply appreciated such service and will definitely go there again

I come here a lot. It is now a busy center. Miss those days when it was still growing and it looked kinda dead here. This is one location you use to measure the growth of Kapolei. It is now a hustling bustling center just like the city. This center helps to make it convenient in that growing chaos.The biggest problem is trying to get out of the parking lot. The main area is if you park on the east side of Baskin Robbins, the First Hawaiian Bank end, you can get caught in a jam. My recommendation is to park on the other side closer to where you can exit by the Tesoro gas station. It may get jam there too but you will not have to wait as that long.Chilli'sLike coming here for Monday night football if possible during happy hour.McDonald'sKinda small but doesn't get crazy busy like some other locations. There is a little bit of the homeless element in case that may bother you.First Hawaiian BankI don't think i've ever walked in here with a line. Maybe I'm just lucky.Cookie CornerThese are okay. I'm not that much a fan of them as my other family members are. I will partake to be social.Baskin RobbinsGood to get that $1.31 scoop on the months that do have a 31st day. On those days, you may want to get here before lunch because there is a good size line that continues through dinner.SafewayHow convenient. My fave, every day, grocery store. GoodyearUsed them once when I didn't have a choice due to circumstance. Prices a little high than average.Da Crawfish and Crab ShackThis is the happening spot right here. Love this place. Put this on your seafood bucket list. Good desserts too. Great to hang for a couple chugs. Friendly owners.Sushi BayThis is the other happening spot especially if you like them super jumbo size. Gets kinda crazy when it is super busy.Jeans WarehouseI like walking in here to enjoy the ac while I'm waiting for my name to be called next door. If I have traveling guest with me, it never fails they buy something. I think I should get a commission.LongsIt's not the location I frequent but it's nice when I need something on the spot.TesoroIt's gas. Fun FactoryMy son likes it but why is is so dimly lit.Game StopAnother store my son likes that I drop money into. So, you can get gas, food and have a little fun here. Convenience at it's best.

A decent shopping center with mostly food options. From Filipino cuisine to Koa Pancake House and steak plates, they've got just about everything covered. Not particularly clean and with a difficult parking situation, it's not the very best place to shop, but it's pretty good - and reasonably convenient.

On a whim, I decided to go to Kapolei, since I was bored after donating blood @ the Blood Bank in Dillingham. Got on the #C Express and it was a good 1/2 hour ride to Kapolei. It was awesome to be on the bus and not have to spend $$$ on gas. But anyways, Kapolei Shopping Center is literally the Shopping Center that you see when you get off the H-1 in Kapolei. It's on Farrington Hwy and Makakilo Drive. The shopping mall is really a strip mall, that was larger than it seems like. There is basically everything you do need here, unless you prefer WalMart down the road. Now I know why people who live in Kapolei dread the commute back into town every morning to work. It's pretty crazy! My favorite restaurants here in Kapolei Shopping Center include the McDonald's, Chili's, and Baskin Robbins. I did try Sushi Bay and Pho 808 on this epic adventure to Kapolei, but I wasn't impressed with either of them. See reviews on them. Other than that, the day trip to Kapolei and the vicinity was nice and would love to be back sometime.There is plenty of parking in the vicinity. There is Jack in the Box and Burger King across the way, along with Starbucks and Jamba Juice across the street. I'm sure they are not part of the shopping center, but it's there if you need them. I might have to come back and try JulieZ. I still haven't tried authentic Filipino food. The only time I do have filipino food is at the office parties.Also got a chance to score 6 DVDs for $11 at the close out sale @ Blockbuster video. I guess I was there at the right time and got major savings. Will likely come back. I love to explore - especially when you are bored of your own neighborhood (Kaimuki) and need to get out and see the rest of the island. And Waikiki don't count.!B+
