If you like home-grown businesses, it doesn’t get any more home-grown than this. Mr. Sakai’s, as I’ve known it for my entire life, is a place that you can always rely on to get spot on knowledge for your fish, birds, and other little critters. Oh, and you can also buy them there as well! Mr. Sakai keeps his store stocked with all types of nice freshwater and even some saltwater fish, along with a multitude of domestic birds, ranging from parakeets to cockatiels. He also has mice and turtles from time to time! Being that Mr. Sakai runs his business out of what is essentially part of his house, you can almost always trust that he will be there to help you out when you need it. I also can’t stress enough how nice he and his wife are. They are seriously some of the nicest people you will meet, and truly embody the feeling of Aloha that you always hear people talking about. If you’re a local and you for some reason haven’t heard of Mr. Sakai’s pet store, I would strongly urge you to check it out. I’ve never had a bad experience there, and it just feels nice going there, like you’re giving back to the community and truly shopping local.

The best place to find what you need for your pets… or to get your new pet. I’ve gotten birds and cages from here for ever. I know that if my finned or feathered friends need something it can be found here. Mr. George is a great guy.

I’ve been going to Aqua and Aviary Hobbyist aka ‘Mr Sakai’s Pet Store’ since I was a little kid. I love the fact hat his pet store is run out of house and that he open 7 days a week, even on holidays. Mr. George Sakai who owns and runs the store told me today that he started his pet store over 45 years ago, and that he will be 88 years old in April! He is so full of knowledge and good spirit every time I go there. Mr. Sakai has many different types of fish and fish supplies. He also carries some smaller tanks and has pumps and filters for almost any size aquarium. His store has tank decorations, tank treatments and many fish foods for all varieties. He also sells birds, to include parakeets, canaries and love birds. His prices are very reasonable, and you always get treated with aloha when you visit his store. I will continue to buy all of my fish and fish supplies from Mr. Sakai as long as he is in business!
