Kawaii Kawaii 2125 Kalākaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815

"Very uncomfortable shopping experience. The owner/cashier immediately came over to me and pretended to organize the slippers and accessories by the entrance. I felt like she was watching me shop. I left, not wanting to support the business. There is a similar souvenir shop a few doors down that was more welcoming. Looks like the owner is blocking negative reviews from people with similar experiences."

"Horrible product quality and customer service. Bought 4 items, two of them got broken within 1 day. Went back asking for exchange, was told " what are you expecting, they are cheap" . For a $20hat ,I expect it at least can last my 5 days vacation."

"If I could give 0 stars, I would. The person at the store was so very rude. All I did was browse through the store and that seemed to really piss her off, and I was kicked out of a store for no reason for the first time. I was not sandy or wet, i was there for barely 5 mins, I didn’t make any noise, I didn’t touch anything and I didn’t pester her at all. I noticed that she wasn’t behaving this way with everyone. I really don’t know what her beef was with me."

"AVOID GOING HERE!!! Only giving this a 1 star to write a review. Like another person stated, the employee (or owner, not sure) was racist. I was looking for jewelry with turtles, so it took me some time to check everything out. She kept following me everywhere I went, under the pretext of “cleaning” what was already clean. She then started mumbling about how I was taking a long time. I ignored that the first few times and went up and asked her if she had what I was looking for. She didn’t understand English so I tried explaining it to her and tried asking questions. She pointed out to some direction and I went there to check. She came back in a couple minutes and asked me if I’ve decided on what to buy. I said that I’m still looking and she sharply cut me off and said “I don’t think you’ll decide today, go back and come tomorrow “. I was taken aback, but thought she was just kidding and still kept searching. She came to me again in a few minutes and said “I need to go out to get something, so you come back later”. So I left the store, stood in front of it to check my phone for directions. While I was standing outside checking my phone, a couple customers went into the store, and there was no sign of this employee leaving. That’s when it hit me that she threw me out of the store on purpose. That’s not even the worst part. She saw me standing in front of the store, came out and shooed me saying “you’re blocking the view, people can’t see what’s inside, move out of the way”. This is the first time I’ve been treated like this by a fellow Asian. What this person did screams racism and the lack of respect towards a customer/ human being. Nobody should be treated this way. If you have self respect, avoid going here. Nothing justifies the way this person treats people, that too a potential customer."

"So the only reason why they got one star is because I had to give a star to do a review. Walked in the store they were basically racist, watching me my every move as if I was trying to steal something and make me feel uncomfortable. I went in to look for some areas that went with a dress that I had bought the previous day at another store. I just walked out. It’s sad to say that racism still exist and they just lost my business."
