What Guests Say

“ Visited ‘Aiwi Waffles at this location. The Berry Banana with coconut custard topping did not disappoint. Cravings satisfied ”
“ I saw the outside and was intrigued... Plus I love ice cream so had to try. When I entered I was slightly confused, as I saw a bunch of touristy items and clothes for sale, but saw a lady behind what looked like an ice cream counter. Unfortunately, when I went in; they only had gelato the day I went. The lady behind the counter was extremely helpful and set me up with a cover for my gelato so I could carry it with my lunch items from one of the food trucks. There was also a lilikoi jasmine tea that I saw after I ordered that I will need to try next time. For a grand opening, it was not very busy, but overall a great place to sit and relax if you get too hot from being outside and cool down with some gelato. The Kona Coffee Gelato was fabulous . ”
“ Pretty cool place. Lots of odd and ends shops selling interesting things for reasonable prices. You can shop for gifts, get a haircut or facial, and grab a bite to eat at one of a few stands. Lots of workers nearby are part of the lunch crowd. You'll find something you'd like to eat for sure. The Korean lady with a food booth in the middle of the store is a pretty good value too. All Bentos = $5! Can't find too many of these options nowadays. And she has a small variety. ”
“ Love OHM for the variety of food vendors you can find here, especially the Pacific cuisines. You can try Vaifala, a Samoan dessert drink (shown in my photos), meat hand pies from New Zealand, Filipino lechon plates, and even kelaguen from Guam. Parking can be tough at peak lunch and dinner times, but there’s always street spaces available. There’s a ton of other vendors too, selling souvenirs, apparel, toys, stickers and more. You could spend the entire day there going from one end to the other. ”
“ Lots of different vendors to buy food, drinks, clothing, merchandise, hotsauce, so many different things it's like a swap meet but in doors and air conditioning. There is also a small bakery like shop in here with killer banana bread and cheese cake . So delicious, be careful because I drive back here just for that. They also have live music on certain days. ”
