Ka Makana Aliʻi — Attraction in Oʻahu

I've never had a problems in any of the places I have reviewed. I have 1.7 million people who have seen my photos and reviews. I had a drink in one place and left walking around. Everything was fine, some young man gave me a stinky eye and I gave a 🤙. He kept giving me a stink eye, until I said "you have more aloha than I do?". He returned the 🤙 and then all then sudden a man stopped his truck. Got out and started to accusing me of hitting on female young ladies, with the gentleman who gave me the stink eye. I've been a professional reviewer and travel guide for years. I would never do such a despicable thing. He continued to harass me, threatening me, and fliming me. My phone was dead or I also would've took a picture. The security arrived and did not step in. I said "this man is harassing me and blocking the street". Then the young lady that was with the young man who gave me the stink eye. Also claimed I, me, was harassing them, a complete fabrication. I've never experienced such radical behavior. The security was no help at all, they flimed the man yelling, spitting at me and threatening me. Also recording me on private property without consent. One female security guard told me to walk away, the other security guard a black elderly man was the one that filmed me. I asked "can I leave? Can you get him away from me?" Finally the man backed off, and I started to walk towards the exit. The black elderly security guard followed me. Even tho I was threatened, spit on, assaulted, and accused. The police showed up and asked me questions to which I anwsered. No report was made and no trespassing was filed. I've never been so humiliated in my life as a travel guide. There stems some type of hatred, I have never seen before in any place. Later I found out this man posted a video on an Instagram post. When I find a lawyer, I will be seeking for him to grab video. If there's me doing a 🤙 on video and people will see it. It'll look bad for this shopping mall, and security. I called the security department and asked if the video expires. I spoke with a Kai and he said the videos are never deleted. I'll take his word on that and will update this review upon things being set in motion legally. I would never set myself upon teenagers, I've never experienced this kind of savage behavior. I am severely disappointed and expected better. Especially from hawaiian people, from what I gather. This looks like a hate crime with perjury. No proof, those teenagers didn't stay to report to the police. If the allegations are true, they would've stayed and made a police report. This man who harrased should be sued by the mall and trespassed for causing a disturbance. A mall is place for rest, and consumers to enjoy a day. Buying, eating, resting and enjoying their families. Not for some wannabe gangsta or childish behavior to intimidate foreigners! I just wanted to have a good time, and people watch. All the sudden that's a crime?! I don't recommend coming here, until I upgrade this review.

And eventually I will send a proposal to the governor. To change the age of consent to 18, all it takes is a two page letter. And none of these people with a college education knew they could change that. It tells you alot about the island that, that hasn't changed for decades. I do not take pleasure in writing bad reviews or in the allegations people...

My family and I were very excited about this mall opening. We live in Ewa and food options are very scarce. We are extremely disappointed in this mall!!! First thing is, it's outside! Why is it not closed with air conditioning in hot Kapolei ( Ewa heat)?!! It's so hot in the afternoon that it keeps me from strolling through and entering multiple stores. If I have to get something quick I wait to shop at this mall until 4 or 5 pm(sun less strong). Second, those metal beams overhead are so stupid! They don't provide shade just a place for the pigeons to sit and poop on shoppers even while they eat!!! Now the worst, the food court! 1-the seating is so limited that people sit on the curb to eat their plate lunch. 2- the food shops are all hole in the wall (panda, yummy etc). You can't sit inside with air conditioners only outside in the heat(or rain). The lines to order are not that long but since the little room is so small the line is out the door and blocks traffic for people walking by the food court. Who designed this mall??!!! This would of been my first place to go if it was air conditioned!!! Nothing better then shopping in a mall without sweeting, sitting for a break to relax and think of where else to go to get something for my mom or siblings and their kids etc. Now it's, go to Macy's(mini version), Old Navy and bounce. They do have nice new up scale restaurants and theater but you can't do that every time you go. Lines for that are crazy too. I am still going to Pearl and Ala Moana!!!! Also, who was the genius that gave the great piece of real estate to Burger King? Really, the face of this brand new up scale mall is...

Location is good, can only get better with time as more developement occurs in this area. Big turn off for me is that it's too close to a middle school and the high school is a bit further down the street. Meaning you could see (more than usual) groups of kids loitering about acting a fool. Albieit kids will be kids, but for a business and attraction interest this could turn a family trip/ shopping experience sour.

The food court could have been planned a bit better. It's nothing more than a wind tunnel regardless of what side you sit on. The furniture is nice and consistent with the design but the placement of tables only leaves gaps to get to the center area seating at certain 15-20 meter intervals. This also creates a bit of a hassle to throw away garbage because the openings to the trash bins are only accessible from the center seating area within the food court.

One other detail I noticed during my visit, which is also a huge pet peeve of mine is the doors of the bathrooms. To exit the bathrooms you have to pull (turn) a door lever handle to open and exit the room. Not so bad except the fact that the food court bathroom was the only one with paper towel dispensers, and the other bathroom closer to a mall outlet only had hand dryers. Unfortunately I know that not every individual upkeeps the same hygiene levels but there should be a consistent accessibility to open these doors from the inside without the use of your hands.

Just my two cents. Thanks...
