Emperor's Emporium 5460 Koloa Road, Koloa, HI 96756

"It’s alright for a gift shop. Lots of random stuff, some of which is related to Kauai, all at quite high prices. The workers are friendly."

"The staff is rude and unwelcoming. They made several comments to my kids about how they "expect them to pay", "hope you have money" and more when my little one picked a toy. Maybe it's because we are brown, seems like the woman at the store could have a thing against non-white people based on other reviews. It is really a terrible atmosphere for a gift and souvenir shop."

"Cute little store. They have tons of t-shirts, swim wear, socks, ornaments, etc. Although the shopping experience was a little strange, I did find a lot of Souvenirs I love. The signs saying what was on sale were a bit difficult to interpret. The lady helping us wasn't very nice, reminded us she was closing in 10min, and made some jokes about how long we were taking. Then when we brought our stuff to the counter to pay, she thought I had switched a price tag (didn't believe the price until I went back and grabbed an identical shirt with the identical price)."

"Bought a t-shirt for $44 over holiday break. Got home, washed it in cold water with a color guard sheet and the design on back faded on the shirt. Will not buy from there next time I am there in March. January 2023."

"I felt unwelcome in this store.The lady of the store was rude to me and my boyfriend. We live on the island, and were over the age of 18 and she asked for our ID's and would not allow us to shop in the store. Now im not sure if it was because of our race ( we are both asian) so we may appear younger. But the fact as soon as we just entered the store we got yelled at for the way we look. She said it was because something happened earlier but that was not us. Just felt like she could of taken care of the situation better."
