It's actually a 0! I went to Chinatown to find a maile lei (Cooke preferably). Walked into this store and asked the man if they had maile and he said yes Tongan maile. So I asked to see it and he showed it to me in it's bag. Then I asked if he could take it out of the bag so I could see it and smell it and he told me barely any smell. He wouldn't show it to me out of the bag! Then I said I would come back.

Just make sure you keep an eye on your vehicle, so you don't get a ticket for being in the...
Read moreThey literally kicked us out because we asked which lei were fresh (Some of them were, the ones that we wanted, were not). They have a beautiful array of flowers, BUT they will not let you look, nor even ask about their lei. So don't bother coming here because of their rude attitudes that they gave to my aunties, my mother, and I. They literally shushed and shoo'd us out.
