Pearl Kai Shopping Center

Well tbh, this place seems like the ONLY PLACE that is LIT AFTER the hours of 8pm. ONCE THE MALL CLOSES, everything is DOWN. So Pearl Kai is like the ONLY LIT UO AREA IN THE WHOLE PEARL RIDGE/PEARL KAI LOCATION.Aside of that, they have MANY small businesses that everyone could check out. They have GYM, A MOM & POP SHOP, COULLE BARS, KARAOKE PLACE (KINDA SHABBY), FAST FOOD SHOPS & a few other businesses that you might find interest in. I'm shocked they don't have an out door block party on the weekends. Maybe they should. lol! But here here to check out the place "OH MY GRILL" because this was one of the places Yelp pulled up for a place that is opened after 8pm where we could eat. It had some good reviews so we're gonna see how it is. I'll let you know in their review. Ok that's all! Thanks! Have a good one!

And yet ANOTHER 2-star rating. The management of this shopping center should really take a look at what all these fellow yelpers are saying and do some serious renovating and rethink the whole parking situation out. In the end all of the businesses end up hurting because of it.Parking is always a mess and there are many times that my family, friends and I have wanted to eat at Kuru Kuru or Curry House CoCo Ichibanya, but ended up leaving after circling a portion of the parking one or two times. Plus parts of the lot are one-way and people are always driving at you in a rush for a parking themselves. Many times we would leave and just go down the road to eat at Genki Sushi or Zippy's. Sometimes paying the higher price for sushi and getting a parking weighs far more than paying cheaper prices and fighting for parking. The stress is not worth it.

The only time I go anywhere near Pearl Kai Shopping Center is because of the bus stop. The one stop where people would get off from the bus then walk to the crosswalk in order to get to American Savings Bank, Pearlridge Downtown or Pali Momi Hospital.I did walk around Pearl Kai Shopping Center several times in all the years it has been around. I seen businesses closed down like 24Hr Fitness, Jelly's, Party City, as well Tower Records. What was that one store called that had Bob Marley shirts for sell? I forget. Is Krazy Karaoke still a tenant at Pearl Kai Shopping Center? I remember going there with coworkers one time.There are a bunch of food establishments for a person to choose from. Ramen, sushi, Italian, or Subway and McDonald's. There's bound to be a food joint for everybody.Besides the many food establishments located on the property...a person can get their vehicles checked out at Jiffy Lube, select a mattress at Sleep Train, buy some vitamins at Vitamin Shoppe, apply for a loan at One Main Financial, or even have a few alcoholic drinks at the bar.Someday I'll walk around the shopping center and try out one of the many food establishments located at Pearl Kai Shopping Center.157/200

I recently rediscovered Pearl Kai shopping center after Coffee or Tea open there. I walked to Mamaya to pick up some bento and the cool breeze reminded me of the old Tower Records days... Back to reality, I'm glad to see Pearl Kai is crowded either for lunch crowd or business deals. Whatever it is I'm happy.The only part that I didn't like was inconsiderate smokers walking in front of the stores or right next to the store. But that's so called life, right?

I frequent Pearl kai alot. For many years, living practically behind pearl kai I was always here. I have tried all of the restaurants here and must say I do have a few favorites such as Cuu Long, Curry House, hot pot, baskin robbins, coffee or tea, Yakiniku Jang su,Tadashi and Thai Bistro. I used to come here when powerhouse used to be 24 hour fitness, L&L and Moon Hoe used to be there. Sad, they no longer are there. I love all these restaurants here but parking sucks. They need to redo the parking lot and downstairs. I don't think they allow customers to park downstairs anymore, it used to and probably still does flood down there being that the river is so close. Parking can be junk but I try to come here during rush hour between 4 to 6pm sometimes 7pm is busy.

I used to frequent this shopping center in the past as I used to be a customer of the now defunct Tower Records (which incidentally still has the sign up on their former location), and most recently a member of 24 hour fitness. During the time 24 hr was a tenant in this shopping center, I loathed the parking situation as there just wasn't enough parking at all.Parking was just terrible. Last week, I visited this shopping center for the first time since 24 hr fitness moved to a new location at Pearl Highlands in '09. I went for dinner at Tadashi Restaurant with reservations at 6pm. I was actually quite surprised that there was parking available around that time, as I was accustomed to having to circle the parking lot for an eternity before finally finding a space. I was even more shocked when we left the restaurant 1 hour later only to find there were actually more spaces available than when we arrived!! That was certainly unexpected.Leaving the shopping center, we drove past the former 24 hr location currently occupied by Powerhouse Gym. I guess no one likes to visit Powerhouse on a Saturday night because it looked completely empty....at least in the cardio area. Bottom Line: Although this shopping center could use a major renovation and facelift, it seems that the departure of 24 hour fitness as a main tenant has freed up parking, somewhat, for other patrons of this shopping complex.

This shopping center has lots of great dining places. The reason it gets 3 stars is, there is not a lot of parking and the parking lot has a lot of potholes. I suggest not eating at peak times. Kuru Kuru, Cuu Long and Champa Thai are some great places to start! ^_^*~

Some of my favorite restaurants are located in the Pearl Kai shopping center, unfortunately the parking situation is terrible. Sugarlina has the best cupcakes, Ricado's is seriously underrated for the delicious food they put out, Tadashi has yummy sushi, Cuu Long has delicious pho, Hot Pot Heaven is always a fun, fresh food experience and the new owners at Thai Bistro Suksabay are putting out some incredible Thai dishes with exceptional service.

Be careful of suspicious guys looking into your car. Went to meet up with my friend to eat at the sushi place. I walked away from my car but turned around and caught a guy looking through my car windows. Went back and moved my car.

Overall this place has a few little gems but other than that there's nothing major here. They definitely need to upgrade to a better security because there's a lot of suspicious people in vagrants looking into cars and stealing from stores
