Emperor's Emporium - Koloa, Hawaii

Sharn Kung

A lot of stores were closed but they were open so we ended up doing some shopping here. There's a bunch of random stuff in here but the prices are over the top. We found a lot of our items at other stores the next day for 20-40% less. The store is cramped and also has an unwelcoming vibe. But like I said, they were open so that's a plus!

Every visit to the store is never a good experience and will never go back again after this. I was trying on a pair of sunglasses and accidentally broke them as I try to put it back but before I could apologize and say I was willing to pay for it, the lady at the register says aloud “Whats wrong with you guys, you’re just breaking everything! You need to pay for it!” and she was associating me with a different asian family who also knocked some merchandise off a shelf which made me feel targeted. Also maybe don’t sell cheap items that break at the slightest touch.

the staff is HORRIBLE. i was looking at their tshirts and the tan old lady with glasses came and asked why i was messing up all her shirts. I let her know i was looking at how big they were and she said i didn't need to do it to every single one. i looked at 2 and i had 2 in my hands to purchase! she was rude to me several more times before i decided to leave without anything. her response to me leaving was "yeah good, go". l've honestly never been treated that way in a business especially a tourist attraction like that. i have no idea how they sell anything (or if they even do) with that lady working there. will never return !

Nice selection of souvenirs, prices were high so same as everywhere else, employees were nice, which was a pleasant surprise considering recent reviews.

Cute little store. They have tons of t-shirts, swim wear, socks, ornaments, etc. Although the shopping experience was a little strange, I did find a lot of Souvenirs I love. The signs saying what was on sale were a bit difficult to interpret. The lady helping us wasn't very nice, reminded us she was closing in 10min, and made some jokes about how long we were taking. Then when we brought our stuff to the counter to pay, she thought I had switched a price tag (didn't believe the price until I went back and grabbed an identical shirt with the identical price).

The staff is rude and unwelcoming. They made several comments to my kids about how they "expect them to pay", "hope you have money" and more when my little one picked a toy.

Maybe it's because we are brown, seems like the woman at the store could have a thing against non-white people based on other reviews. It is really a terrible atmosphere for a gift and souvenir shop.

I felt unwelcome in this store.The lady of the store was rude to me and my boyfriend. We live on the island, and were over the age of 18 and she asked for our ID's and would not allow us to shop in the store. Now im not sure if it was because of our race ( we are both asian) so we may appear younger. But the fact as soon as we just entered the store we got yelled at for the way we look. She said it was because something happened earlier but that was not us. Just felt like she could of taken care of the situation better.

If I could give no stars I would.!!! I bought three small items in the store adding up to 54.17. My credit card company alerted me that they charged it three times. I turned them over to fraud department . We tried to use cash . They insisted on the card. I should have suspected something. They were having a closing sale. I don’t want to think that they were trying to cheat unsuspecting tourists, but it sure seems suspicious. I hope they make it right.. if so I will change this review.
