Alii Antiques of Kailua

Owner is a dick!
I went out of my way just to download this app because of the bad experience i had at this place. I got kicked out because I was talking on my phone, i was toled «hang up or get out» because he was «trying to eat his lunch» obviously he doesn’t want business.

Recently revisitd both locations after not being in for quite a while. There’s such a variety of wonderful treasures and it seems more organized & less cluttered than in the past, so while there was PLENTY to see, I didn’t feel «trapped in.» The prices were very reasonable at both locations & the people were very friendly.

If they don’t have it they’ll find it Reasonable price, good service, very knowledgable. If you are a serious hunter you won’t be sorry

I had the door shut it my face when I tried to come in with my son’s stroller. I somehow managed to miss the «NO STROLLER» sign, which was written in 12 pt. font. I couldn’t believe how incredibly rude the owner was. However, I was interested in what they had and did go in to look around. The owner was again rude to me even after complying with their rules and putting my stroller away. The store was very messy and unorganized. I don’t know how anyone could find anything in there. Anyways, I don’t recommend this place. There are so many other antique stores, spend your time and money somewhere else!

wow this place was anoher stop on my antique shopping to do heard so much about this cute antique shop well it you want anything this is the place to find it the hoarders paradise stuffed with alot of stuff with a little pricey items but if you are a collector and needs this special item here it is… not only they have one store but two stores. double the fun of shopping…

I’m bumping this spot up a star, but it’s actually for the Alii Antique 2 location. I’ve been in twice now. The first time I left with a mint condition promo pyrex dish that I’d been looking for for awhile, and it only set me back $ 25. Pretty good, pretty good. The second time I went in I found another pyrex bowl I wanted, and chatted with the guy behind the register. I told him about the different patterns, colors and years of the pyrex collections. I asked that if he ever come across some pink butterprint that he not sell it and wait for me to come look at it first, he said that he would. Out of the corner of my eye I spotted a painting I fell in love with. It didn’t have a price tag on it, so I asked how much. He said $ 200. YIKES! Well, just the pyrex bowl then. He said that he appreciated my business and that he also knew I’d be back in the future so he dropped the art piece down to $ 50, and the pyrex to $ 10. HELLS YEAH!
I’m still claustrophobic to hit up his wife’s shop, but Alii 2.0 is the spot!

it is the PYREX mecca! don’t bother with another antique store if you are looking for corning ware, PYREX or fire king, they are the place to go. can’t believe the amount and design of all the PYREX dinnerware! you’ll pay as much as eBay or amazon, except without the shipping. and they give 20% off all large Pyrex sizes. (the smaller dishes are favorites of the tourists, so, no deal) I’ll be back for sure. the only warning. do NOT wear bulky clothes, everything is packed in tight and shaky, one bump, and it can get topsy-​turvy with all the creatively stacked treasures, hj

Personally, I love an antique store with treasures piled to the ceiling! I stop in this store regularly for jewelry, antique prints, gifts, and just to look around. The store owner has always been nice to me if I have any questions or if I want to see anything in the cases. 1 out of every 2 times I visit the store there is a sale going on and she lets you know at the door. Also, she has given me discounts for buying multiple items.

My first impression when I stepped into this store was «omg…I’ve seen a collection like this on Hoarders»… not the animal or disgusting kind, just the kind with WAY too much stuff and no space to put it all…
A ton of things ranging from bags, antiques, glass, jewelry, etc., piled on top of each other made it super difficult to walk around! That’s how packed it was, things on top of things, no shelf space. There were signs all over that said «ask for assistance! you break it, you buy it!» Resembled Hoarders but not the kind with animals, think of one of those episodes where the house was filled with collections from the floor to the ceiling, and no walking space. Prices ranged a lot, some inexpensive items and some more expensive antiques.
They need a store with more space. While trying not to touch or break anything, I kept wondering how the owner filled the store. «Storage Wars» also came to mind because it kind of reminds me of one of those storage units that people bid on. The store looks like a combination of a storage unit and Hoarders.
I don’t think I would come back to this store, it feels too claustrophobic for me and it’s hard to see everything since it’s so packed in there. I would suggest going here just to experience what I saw. Maybe you’ll find something. I’m sure there are quality items, but they might be hard to find in the piles.

Never in my life have I experienced worse customer service. I have nothing else to say. It’s that bad.

DO NOT SHOP HERE!
Reviewer Hedda A. is right it was the worst customer service experience I have had as well.
I am tempted to really rant about how bad the OWNERS of this business treated my friend and I when we came in but I think it will be sufficient to say…
The wife is condescending and makes it clear she is inconvenienced by your presence. The husband cosigns her BS by ignoring and justifying her disgusting treatment of customers.
There are plenty of other antique stores on Oahu with polite owners and staff. Shop there it will be cheaper and save you a lot of aggravation.

This place has the worst customer service I have ever encountered. I highly do not recommend shopping here. If I could give zero stars I would.

Step into the junk drawer, but be careful, ’cause you break, you buy! They have tons of weird old stuff, from a creepy doll collection, to full feathered headdresses, not cheap but fun (except those dolls really freak me out)
