Like Like Plaza

Shopping and dining in Honolulu, Hawaii...I've been coming to Like Like Plaza on Ke'eaumoku Street often because of tenants such as:- YogurStory- Banchan House- Wholesale Unlimited- Tony Moly- So Gong Dong- Honolulu Sushi- May's Salon- Teapresso Bar Other businesses include:- Territorial Savings- JES Jewelry- Gradient Nails- Orient Travel- Ke'eaumoku ProduceA few businesses moved out and others have taken their places:Hakuyosha Dry Cleaners will soon be the new home of Kyochon F&B Fried Chicken. Banchan House is in N Cat's place. YogurStory replaced Like Like Drive Inn.Welcome to all of the new businesses and wishing continued success to current and new tenants! I appreciate the free parking, variety of shopping and dining opportunities, and clean environment!

For you malihinis, the pronunciation of this is plaza is "lee-kay lee-kay", the name of a Hawaiian princess. The same name also honors a major highway and elementary school on Oahu. Lesson-of-the-day out of the way, on to the review. THE PLACE:They're located in the heart of this lucrative business district with very popular neighbors including Walmart, Sam's Club, Don Quiote, Pagoda Hotel and Ala Moana Center. Finding (free) parking at this place is like winning the lottery. Numerous businesses plus limited stalls equals that very problem. Metered street stalls are available but not plentiful. The two level, 20-stall complex is almost fully occupied. The infamous Like Like Drive Inn restaurant that the place is named after takes up the largest space on the ground floor along with a mix of local shops and services throughout. HIGHLIGHTS:- Like Like Drive Inn- Territorial Savings Bank- Wholesale Unlimited (great place for local snacks)

I also need to leave a review for the security guard. Older local lady with hair in a ponytail. I was walking around with my son in a carrier on my back...I had just been to the bank and another store and was kind of looking around to see what other interesting stores were there...I'm not a tourist but usually just go to Sam's club or Ala Moana so I just wanted to walk around there a bit, plus it was raining. She rudely asks me if I was waiting for someone, if I needed an umbrella go to Ross etc. she came up to me a few times as I was just minding my own business. Basically chased me out of the center. I wasn't doing anything suspicious just a mama walking with a baby on her back. I don't understand why the security had to be so hostile and rude.

The only reason i am giving this review one star is because of the security guard. The lady security guard was very rude and aggressive toward my mother and i. She was asking for another customer what parking stall we were in, but she was very rude to us, and the only identification of her being a security guard was on the back of a white long sleeve shirt that said "Security". I am very upset with this experience.

Food prices, good service. Will be going back again. My pedicurist was Tanner, she did a good job.
