Lin’s Lei Shop

Beautiful flowers, convenient hours, fair prices and super good service. My go to for flowers

The perfect place to pick up reasonably priced flowers and leis! I have picked up from there before and found it so easy! The easiest yet was running in this morning and picking up a bunch of single roses for a piano recital. An individually wrapped, long stem single rose with baby breathes was $ 4! At Safeway and Jr Lou it was nearly $ 7! The customer service was perfect in every way! Everyone was so caring and loving! Love this place!!!

Haku’s are absolutely beautiful!

I’m all about a discount and Lin’s always has better prices than other shops. They also have many other varieties that not all shops carry.

Beautiful fresh leis at great prices. If you don’t see what you want in the refrigerated cases, just ask. The staff are most friendly and well-​informed.

Lin’s Lei Shop is my place to get leis in chinatown for quality & price. It is located at the end of Maunakea Street close to King Street. You can park right in front of the store to pick up and go. It’s not a legal parking but unloading zone so park at your own risk. Otherwise, you have to park across the street in munipal parking garage or street parking.
I like how they display their leis. They are in this big see through refrigerator like the supermarkets. Usually, there’s someone close by for any assistance. I bought many leis over the years and they never make you feel uncomfortable.
Workers are very polite and nice.
Their leis range from $ 20 to $ 5. I think their leis are the freshest and prettiest.

I can’t say enough about how much Lin’s saved my Valentines dinner. Of four florists including Watanabe they were the only ones that could help me with a simple request for three rose bouquets for Valentines day dinner. The bouquets were perfect!

Always accommodating, not just with beautiful leis but with great customer service. Thank you Alex for your assistance!

Whenever I return to the island from a trip to the Mainland my husband treats me to a beautiful lei from Lin’s Lei Shop. My favorite is the lei with beautiful yellow/​orange blossoms along with tuberose. Not only is the lei beautiful it is very fragrant as well. Such a lovely way to say Aloha and welcome home.
I have also purchased leis from Lin’s for my husband made from ti leaves and kukui nuts. These are very long lasting. We also go to Lin’s to select leis for our guests who visit us on the island. The quality is always consistent and the leis make a special statement to our guests.
The people at Lin’s are always helpful and very pleasant to interact with. The trip to Lin’s is worth any challenges you may have with parking. Very convenient for those of us who work in downtown Honolulu.

There are so many lei shops downtown — so many that I never know which one to go to because the one around the corner may be better!
Leis are not as readily available during UH Manoa’s winter graduation ceremonies… And I needed to pick up some lei to congratulate a friend later that afternoon. Since I was nearby I stopped by Lin’s, and I’m sure I made the right decision.
Lin’s is a breath of fresh air when it comes to customer service in Chinatown. I had my eye on a kukui with ti leaf lei ($ 10) in one of the freezers and was having a hard time removing it. The shopkeeper’s nephew was working the register, and he helped me get it down without having to ask! The shopkeeper herself is very friendly, too.
They’ve got a nice variety of lei, for both men and women, at reasonable prices. There are some beautiful ones in the front freezers for only $ 6 or $ 10 if you’re looking for something a little more ornate than the generic orchid lei. They’ve also got colorful kukui lei hanging along a wall, all $ 3 — $ 4!
Will definitely be returning to support this family-​run lei shop.
CREDIT CARDS: Don’t worry, they take ‘em! A big plus in my book.
PARKING: It’s their only downfall. Street parking is your best bet, but it can be hard to find. The cheapest parking structure I know of is at Smith & Beretania (
), but it’s a bit of a walk. My suggestion is to go with someone who can drop you off and drive around the block while you pick up your order.

I called in asking what were their closing hours and they told me 8pm and i told them i was coming in for last minute leis.
I come to the store at 7pm and shop is closed already?
I knocked on glass, worker then came to window and asked what i wanted. I told her i called in, and she shooed me away! Talk about rude!

Like the great Unilocalers who have come before me, Lin’s has amazingly beautiful leis for sale. You are bound to find something in your price range as the leis I’ve seen range from $ 5−35+. $ 35 for a lei you ask? Yes, but they are beautiful and much nicer than what you would get for the same price at Foodland or a random store. Also if you’re on a tight budget, look towards the bottom of the display as there are sometimes marked down leis which are still very nice. You’re bound to find something you like, unless you’re like me and love everything. They accept credit cards which is nice for people like me who never seem to have cash on them :)
Why not 5 stars? Parking sucks in the area. You’ll probably have to drive around to look for parking, or if you’re lucky like I am, you’ll have a partner in crime to assist you by jumping out to buy the lei while you drive around the block :) Also I wish they were closer to me on the weekends when I need a lei for a special occasion (but that’s just me being needy) :)

Called around to find a place that could delivery flowers to my GF for her birthday at 5pm on a SUNDAY. Impossible right??? First place I contacted was closing in about 20 minutes, but could make an arrangment for $ 80 plus $ 30 delivery fee!!! the delivery was about 10 minutes from downtown. I then called Lin’s Lei Shop and was greeted by a very helpful female who said they could delivery long stem red roses in for less that half of the other shops charge. She assured me that it would be a very nice arrangment. Well about and hour and a half later my GF called and said WOW, thanks for the beautiful roses!!! she loved them and was so surprised since it was delivered to her work place.
THANK YOU LIN’S LEI SHOP FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN WITH LAST MINUTE NOTICE!!!

This place is great and there is ample, cheap parking in the garage across the street! I needed a few leis for my partner and I, and the concierge at Aulani sent us here.
I arrived on a Saturday morning and got exactly what I was looking for. I was nearly immediately taken care of by an excellent sales person who took the time to make suggestions and complete my order.

I love picking up leis, bouquets and floral arrangements for weddings and funerals from Lin’s!
My family have been going to Lin’s for years and they never let us down! There are a lot of things I love about their service:
You can hold an order! Sure graduation and holidays are always busy, but if you call ahead they can make an order for you with easy pick up!
They ship! Paying for a fee, they’ll send your flowers and leis any where you need them and they arrive neatly packed and still in bloom!
Parking is always a bit of a trouble, but if you can manage the parallel parking in Chinatown, you’re ahead of the game!
Prices range due to seasons and availability, but they got a huge selection of male and female type of leis for all occasions! Also, if you want a lei made a certain length they’re able to make it for you!
Friendly staff with great quality leis for reasonable prices!

After looking up and down Maunakea Street for a nice lei, I can usually find what I want at Lin’s Lei Shop.
They have head haku lei, maile, puakenikeni, pakalana, pikake, ginger, and the regular orchid and carnation lei. If price is a concern, sometimes they have discounted items in the refrigerated case on the bottom shelf.
My mom’s 80^th birthday was yesterday and lo & behold: there was the pakalana I was looking for — it’s her favorite! I gave it to her at church and she was so very happy! The delicate and unusual fragrance uplifts everyone in its surroundings! This lei looked so fresh and pretty — it matches anything you wear! Perfect!
Thanks to Lin’s Lei Shop for again pulling through!

This guys helped me out for ummmm around 10 years now, always friendly, prices are just right and the sense of coming back to meet your friends is something that always played big roll in my dealings,
Tony always helped me, even when I was last minute on valentines, guys a life saver ‚
They located on maunakea street with parking right in front of store so it’s always hassle free for me .
Really great store and great people, will stay a loyal client ‚
Ps they got the bombest pikake lei ever.

Lin’s Lei Shop exemplifies quality in both their products and their service. Much more than a lei shop, Lin’s offers a number of products and services for weddings and various events. Look no further for fresh, beautiful flowers, leis and floral arrangements!
We got married recently and Tony was our contact person. His calm demeanor put us at ease immediately. He was able to take our input and put together a package that included bouquets, boutonnières, centerpieces, leis and adornments for the alter and seating arrangements. I can’t recommend them enough, for quality flowers and great service, be sure to visit Lin’s Lei Shop!

I buy all of my leis at Lin’s Lei Shop!!!
ASK FOR LORETTA!!!
This lei shop is great for finding the perfect lei before you pick up friends or ohana at HNL. Celebrating a special occasion? Order your lei’s here. Need to ship to the mainland? No problem.
My standard lei for company is $ 6.00…orchids and pikake. Fragrant and beautiful. Sometimes I splurge and buy $ 10.00 ginger leis. My all time favorite…$ 12.00 Pukeinekeina. this fragrant flower of Hawaii embodies ALOHA!!!

I ordered my bridal bouquet from Lin’s for my March wedding and was pleased as punch. There was a bit of a language barrier as I asked for any colours except pink and yellow and sure enough, I got a pink and yellow bouquet, BUT it was absolutely beautiful and I did love it. I was a pretty go with the flow bride, so I didn’t let things phase me but that might not work for all brides, so more visits and phone calls might be good for those who aren’t. The bouquet was SO reasonably priced. $ 85 for a lily and rose cascading bouquet. I did my research and found nothing to compare, with similar bouquets starting at $ 200 all the way up to $ 1000. (See photo). A+++
