Oriental Cabinet And Granite

My experience with Oriental couldn’t have been better. The service was fantastic, the products are a good value for the quality/​cost, and the installers did a great job and went above and beyond! Overall, I am very pleased with the entire process! I’ve attached some before and after photos. I chose the cherry walnut cabinets and black quartz countertops. They look great! Oriental threw in the matching bathroom vanity (cabinet and counter), a bathroom wall cabinet, and undermount sinks for the bathroom and kitchen. My cost for everything was under $ 10,000.
From the time I walked in to the showroom off the street to completion, Aaron C assisted me from start to finish. Aaron is a pretty laid back guy who laid out my options, made recommendations, worked with me on the design and tweaking it along the way, and at no point did I feel pressured. The other Aaron at the shop was equally as good, and he was present when the measuring took place and also offered some great design ideas along the way as well. The owner Jerry is a pretty cool guy; professional and easy to work with when I needed minor design changes.
I wish Unilocal allowed more review length, as I cannot say enough good things about the installers. These guys went above and beyond on several occasions, it blew me away. They really took their time to measure and precisely install the new materials. It took half a day to tear out the old, and four full days to install the new. Everything was installed meticulously. All handles are centered and straight, everything is plumb, the counter seams are very beautifully done. I couldn’t ask for more out of the installers. If your experience is as positive as mine, definitely consider giving them a small tip for their skills and talents.
I would write a book about my experience with Oriental if I could, but Unilocal doesn’t seem to allow that. From start to finish, everything was amazing. I hope my story and the photos speak for themselves. Definitely consider Oriental if you’re in need of new cabinets and counters!

If I would to talk about My experience with oriental cabinet I would say it was outstanding. First day going in at there shop we already had a good business going. They compare the quote we had with other place and made it it payable in our price range. Very reasonable price. I had my whole kitchen remodeled and flooring. First day to the last day of the project I had stuff I needed done. The workers working were so easy to talk to off stuff I wanted done and so as the owner jerry. The staff and owner were very professional and will try to help you with the best of there ability and work with your price. Overall the job they did for me with the flooring and kitchen came out to be very satisfying. I can’t say more. They did a tremendous job. I would recommend oriental cabinet to people who is looking to get there kitchen or flooring done, if I have any other renovation I want to get done like the bathroom in the future I wouldn’t hesitate to come to oriental cabinet to do it for me. Thanks again jerry, grace and your staff and your worker for doing business with me.

If it’s inexpensive cabinets you’re looking for, then this is your place. If you’re hoping for any sort of customer service, follow up, problem solving, then keep it moving there’s nothing to see here.
We purchased thousands of dollars worth of goods while completely renovating our kitchen this summer. Initially everything went according to plan.
At the time, while they had very little options in the way of granite, epic I found odd as its right there in the name of their business. But they encouraged us to buy from a competitor. We did and paid to have them install it. The first issue was while installing the granite, they misaligned the holes of the sink and faucet by a couple of inches (very obvious). They also installed the granite too close to a window, making said window virtually useless as you can operate (open or close) it.
Dealing with granite isn’t like, «no problem, we’ll just fix it». Issues like these, while they may seem minor to some, are really major issues. We dealt with it, complained about it, but besides replacing the granite, which of course they didn’t, they didn’t do anything.
But the major issue was that we ordered, and PAID FOR, false doors to go on the end of our cabinets. These «doors» hide one from looks right inside of the cabinets. Without them the cabinets look totally incomplete and a very poor job. Aaron said they were on the next delivery and would call us.
To date, we’ve called him at least 7 – 8 times. While he always calls back, he’s never one initiated the call to give us an update. His answer is always, «ohhhhh, yeah. Well, ummmm, they weren’t in our last shipment from China. But don’t worry, I’ll call you as soon as they’re in.» He did not.
Finally, last week I called and got a different response. He said they were in and I could pick them up. I drove from the other side of the island to get them. Personally, had it been my business, I would have delivered and installed them for my client having had them wait NEARLY 6 MONTHS!
I get there to pick up the doors, and Aaron is with a client and asks, who I believe was the owner’s son, to help me. I tell him what I’m looking for and he tells me to come back some other time as he’s busy right now.
I don’t think so, guy. I tell him I’ve been waiting for these stupid doors for six months, and if he doesn’t make these doors appear in the next few minutes, I will, very successfully, sue him. He runs in the back and brings back something other than doors. [buzzzzzz] wrong, try again, I tell him. He disappears again and comes back with the correct doors FINALLY.
So here I am. I finally have my doors. Now it’s left to me to find someone to have them installed when it should have been this company who dropped the ball. But at least I have my doors, I suppose.
Future buyers: beware, be cautious, and know what you’re getting into with these guys to avoid unexpected frustration.

Went with Oriental Cabinets because of the high rating on Unilocal.Wanted to redo my whole kitchen from cabinets to countertop. First time I entered here was the last week of October. This whole remodeling was suppose to be a surprise gift for my parents since they were going off island for vacation on Nov 19^th. I talked to Frankie and explained everything and right away knew which style of cabinet and granite I wanted. Told me it was no problem and could be done. So I was excited to get this all done before my parents come back from vacay.
I went to their shop in person about 8 times just to make sure everything was going as planned to meet the deadline. Frankie and the owners son came to my place to do measurements. Later Frankie designed a rough draft of what the kitchen would look like and what cabinets I would need. Just by looking at the thought draft I could tell he didn’t know what he was doing. There was a huge gap in the corner. Not sure the reason why but everything was spaced out too much. One time I went to the shop and one of the other workers (Caucasian guy) asked if he needed help. Frankie was being sarcastic saying «No I don’t need help, if I do then I’ll let you know». I should of went to the other worker because he sounded like he knew what he was talking about and wanted to make sure I got stuff going through because it was taking long.
I emailed him and didn’t get no reply so went down to look for Frankie. He told me that he didn’t reply to my email because he didn’t know what to do since he told me the owner was going to come my place to double check the measurements and design a different draft but never contacted me on doing so. Frankie told me that he didn’t have time to come but scheduled me for a day a week ago. So he just kept telling me he doesn’t know what to do. He keeps repeating I don’t know what to say which got me upset because it was almost time to get everything done.
So I ended up going to Golden Cabinets & Stone Inc. Not only did they design a draft the same day but it looked great ! They also explained the draft on which cabinet would go well in that area and how if I did it this way then the cabinet doors would cross rah other. They even told me they can get it to me within that time and this was all last minute for them since I had to switch over. I will be writing a review on their page a week or so from now. In the end. I don’t recommend going to Oriental Cabinents. BUT if you really insist on going then DO NOT go to Frankie!

I had very satisfying experience from 1^st. visit the show room, Manager Aaron was very knowledgeable to explain the product and installation showing with 3D drawing made me real sense of finish look of my new kitchen and bathroom, owner Jerry came out to job site for measurement and we pick the product and all that took little more than week a so to completed.
Jerry was exceptionally kind and made process smooth and quick every step of the way, language was challenge with worker they speaks very little English made communication real tough but Jerry step in every situation to do the right job. They delivered the promise all the way I want it, I was very happy with product and workmanship and price I paid. I recommend them to my friend and family 100%, Happy renovation with Jerry and staff.

I just love, love, love my new kitchen quartz countertop. I bought the countertop at another company because Oriental Cabinet ran out of their stock. But I asked Oriental Cabinet to install it due to their reputation. The final product was just OUTSTANDING! I could not stop saying, «Oh, My God!» «Oh, My God, I can’t believe this is my home.» They gave me the best deal of all the places I visited. They also cleaned up very well. All the people who have come to my home have all had positive things to say about the countertops. One neighbor also offered to rent my home if he can get out of his lease. I highly recommend Oriental Cabinet.

We’re pleased with the new kitchen that Oriental Cabinets installed. You can see the difference in the before and after photos I posted. One of the best things about the company is the let me pick out the quartz counter top from another store, when Oriental didn’t have a pattern I liked. This was at no extra expense, how great is that.
One small negative was some communication problems. All of the people who do the installation are Chinese and speak little to no English, which made it a challenge to resolve some issues when they came up during the work.
Also, to be clear, the blue glass tile backsplash was installed by myself, after the kitchen was done.

Great cabinets at a very reasonable price. Aaron was a big help very friendly and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back for my future projects.

First off, I made a Unilocal account just to make a review for this company. They have worked on both my brothers homes and did an excellent job that we went with them as well. They are professional, reliable, and affordable. Such talented hard workers! Will definitely use them again.

Too good to be true is what I thought when I met and got quoted here. Well it’s not! Amazing from beginning to end. Get your kitchen AND bathroom done here. Extremely good pricing, outstanding custom work every inch measured and custom done for everything. Did I mention they do plumbing and carpentry? New framing door, plumbing lines, etc. Jerry and his crew really try to make you happy w/​o charging extra for all little ideas/​things that came up. Very talented quiet workers who work very hard all day long. If you’re reading this you should use these guys before they get REALLY popular and still have an open schedule and great prices. Cabinets and drawers are birch, dove tailed, and soft closed. Quartz was very sparkly and cleanly placed. Communication a little tough but not too bad. Go to work come home and watch the magic happen. Best experience– feel good about the money you spend for great work. Kitchen took less than a week. Thanks oriental cabinet you deserve it!

I wrote a review this month ‘after the fact’ – that happened when they were just getting started in 2013 – 14 and they were awful. The cabinets were fine, well made –no particle board and several styles and colors of hardwood doors, good prices (half or less of home depot and lowes who have particle board cabinet boxes (terrible!)), but they just couldn’t seem to get my order done, and the newly hired staff were rude and inappropriate. So I gave them 2 stars only. Happily they have vastly improved, fired the low-​life guy they had and now have a helpful, professional staff. C and C cabinets (across from Home Depot in town) have the same things but they are so busy they cannot be bothered helping you. Try oriental cabinets instead!!! They also give contractor discounts and do special projects as well.

First off, nestled in Kalihi, off of Waiakamilo Rd, you’ll find this place. We were looking to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms and was led here from online searches (i.e.‘Yelp*’) that gave good reviews. I have to say, we were pleasantly surprised with what we found. Not only do they offer competitive pricing (which by the way was the absolute lowest that we found!), they also offered to come out to our home to provide an estimate that was free of charge.
Jerry was the person we first met, only to find out that he was the owner. Not only did he come out to our house to oversee the remodeling in progress, he even came to put in work! Talk about awesome!
Now, if you’re like us, spending a lot of money can make you worry. Especially doing a home remodeling venture. However, have no fear… Jerry is easy to talk to (not to mention very tolerant) with us as we often found ourselves getting involved with the work taking place and asking lots of questions! But lo and behold, Jerry was ever so patient to our concerns and listened to everything we asked… now that’s customer satisfaction!
So, after about a weeks of worth, our kitchen with the quartz countertops and cherry wood cabinets (including matching bathrooms) was finally completed and let me tell you… It came out even better than we imagined! It’s beautiful! Thanks, Jerry and crew for the wonderful work!
If you’re ever thinking about doing a kitchen, bathroom, etc. remodeling, really, look no further. Oriental Cabinet And Granite LLC are professionals all the way that do top notch work to your hearts desire… and just like the Unilocal*tag says for a 5-​star rating…,“Woohoo! As good as it gets!”
Highly recommended and don’t forget to ask for Jerry. :-)
P. S.- Their showroom is even open on Sundays… Awesome!

Oriental Cabinet and Granite is the most unprofessional business I have ever dealt with. On several occasions, I either called or stopped by and no one could find a file on me after two measurements were conducted at my home. After weeks of consulting, my file was finally found. I was told my cabinets were ordered and would be received by the end of the month. After no response, I decided to call one day before the end of the month and of course No one seemed to know what was going on. They did admit there has been a communication problem because I have been the only one trying to communicate in this whole process. Truly a waste of time dealing with this business. Furthermore, after consulting the BBB, it was discovered they are not registered as a licensed contractor nor or they BBB accredited. I find it hard to believe the other reviews associated with this business. If you are looking for unprofessionalism and lack of communication you have come to the right place. I do not give this business my recommendation.

Promptly scheduled and work completed comprehensively and ahead of schedule. Hard working team that did outstanding work.

Very pleased with two kitchen updates and a deck railing and roof!
Jerry, Andre, Jon and Jean were wonderful in getting a rental duplex transformed!

Hey for those looking for cabinets, this was the place that met most of my needs concerning cabinets. I had a low ceiling and they had 39 inch wall cabinets which was perfect. I had checked other places but most couldn’t do a 2 day notice in fabricating my order, most needed 2weeks notice.
I did my own install but was very helpful when I had problems in certain areas. The day we finished the installation of the cabinets, Jerry the owner came to measure for the Quartz counter top, he said probably 5 days before the can install. 3 days later they there installing, good job, very professional, knew what they were doing, also gave me an extra Quartz piece for my window sill.
Most people’s concern is how long you’r without a sink and the rest of kitchen items in boxes, but 5 days turnaround was bearable. Jon the manager met all my needs, and hopefully will continue helping me out if their concerns in the future.
If you’r looking for cabinets make sure Oriental Cabinet and Granite is on your list. I was very happy with the end results

I was 9 months pregnant when we decided to totally redo our kitchen. We had a termite issue in our old cabinets and they had to go. Figured easier to do before I had the baby.
We went into the show room and made an appointment for the weekend to get measurements done of our kitchen. Instead they were able to come the same day to take measurements. They told us they could have our kitchen done within a week and they finished in five working days instead.
It turned out just as I had pictured in my head. Of course after you have used your kitchen there are little things you would always would change. But I love it and it was good work and quick work. We worked with John and he was very easy to communicate with. My husband ended up texting him many times to ask questions.
I would recommend… I did

We shopped around and got the best service and lowest estimate from Oriental Cabinet and Granite. Our two bathrooms and kitchen were remodeled and they look great! We had unexpected setbacks and delays in our renovation schedule so our scheduled cabinet and countertop installation needed to be pushed back several times. We were so appreciative of Jon and the crew at Oriental Cabinet for being so flexible and for working with our schedule. We would definitely use them again!

For those that are considering remodeling their kitchen, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Oriental Cabinet and Granite LLC. Our original kitchen was very worn out and on it’s last leg; since we live in a condo, it is the first thing you see once you enter our home. We definitely knew it was time to do something… anything that would at least make our kitchen look decent.
We did our homework and inquired at a ton of places; one place that prided themselves on doing top quality work came in for an estimate and quoted us $ 20,000−30,000 to renovate our kitchen. WHAT?! For a kitchen that would fit in my cubicle at work?! That was ridiculous! We perused the home renovation section that comes in every Sunday’s paper and saw an article on «Oriental Cabinet and Granite LLC.» It gave a brief history of their business and the types of problems/​questions/​headaches associated with first time renovations. It immediately grabbed our attention because of what we had encountered at other places.
We went down to Oriental Cabinets and Granite LLC thinking the worst but was surprised at the results. Jonathan Magbual helped us out and really made us feel at ease. He came to our place for an estimate and quoted us a reasonable and affordable price; he answered all of our questions and was most accommodating! We felt no pressure and decided to think about it. After about two weeks of deliberating what we should do, we decided that this was the place for us. Because of the size of our kitchen, they insured us that the whole process of the renovation would take about a week.
On day one they demolished our old kitchen and cabinets within a matter of a couple of hours; the workers then took more measurements for our new cabinets. Day two involved the arrival of our new appliances and us replacing our water heater; Oriental Cabinet and Granite did not come this day because they were building our cabinets to specification. Day three came and they laid down the tile for our new floor and left so that the tile could set. Day four arrived and the real work began; cabinets were going up fast and it started to take shape. Later in the day, they took measurements for our quartz countertops. Day five and the last of our cabinets were installed with the stove, microwave and refrigerator set in place. Day six our countertops arrived with our brand new sink and they put up the back splash on. They did minor touch ups to finish off their work. That was a gist of our kitchen renovations.
Throughout the whole process, we were in contact with Jonathan Magabual and he assured that all of our questions were answered and all of our demands were met. Even on his days off when we needed something answered, he was there. Overall we felt that our first kitchen renovation was a success!
I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND «Oriental Cabinet and Granite LLC» and Jonathan Magabual if you’re thinking about that first time remodeling job. They are fast, reasonable and GREAT customer service! I know that we will DEFINTELY go with them again in the future if and when we get a bigger place.

My co worker was showing off his upgraded kitchen. we were so impressed and called Jonathan Magbual, he came and gave us best deal and services… now I have amazing kitchen that I enjoy everyday. can’t find word to describe how thankful we are for the kitchen we have… aloha and definitely recommend them.

Unfortunately I did not have the same experience with this company, and yes Jerry was at my job also.
The major issue started with them not providing me with any drawings to show the heights and elevations. This caused many problems at the completion of my job. I felt they did sloppy work. They did not clean up after themselves, and actually I had to clean up the glue that had dripped onto my floor. A lot of my cabinet door handles are not straight and crooked. Some of my cabinet doors do not close flush. On one drawers they actually miss drilled a hole and did a sloppy job to try to fix it, brand new cabinet has a miss drilled hole in it. You would think that they would have some kind of jig so that all handles would be uniform and have a clean finish.
The 2 major issues that would have not been had they provided me with drawing were the back splashes in my bathroom and kitchen. The splash in the bathroom covered my outlet. Of course this could have been determined earlier had he given me drawings, I could have happily moved it when my drywall guys were prepping the interior. Instead I had to pay someone to relocate the outlet after everything was done
The final problem that was my tipping point was that they just installed my kitchen back splash with no regard to the over the range microwave that they knew would be install later. They made the splash too high. Jerry’s response on site was to just build out the gap ¾″ of an inch and then secure the microwave into the granite. Well that’s great, thanks Jerry. I later found out that it was not that easy to do and it now would make my microwave come out an extra ¾″, so I called Jerry to come back, remove the splash and cut to the correct size. He instead of admitting he put the splash in too early instead claimed it was my fault. I couldn’t believe this guy. At that point I had enough. I paid my contractor to fix the mistakes and left the ones that I could live with. Very disappointed.
It is sad because had the 2 splash issued not have happened I am pretty sure I would be happy. Yes Jerry and his guys were quick, too quick in my case. I felt there was a serious lack of communication.
I have to say that the cabinets do look nice, the counter tops look very good and overall I got what I wanted. Was it perfect, no, but it got done and for a price that fit in my budget.

What can I say! I am truly impressed. I got a flyer in the mail a few months ago and recently decided to check them out. My wife wanted a new kitchen and their flyer was like a sign from above. We went to their store, located down the street from Sand Island, checked out what they had. Went back to their store after doing some more looking around and looked again. Went back yet again and made the deal.
Negotiate fellow Unilocaler’s. You have nothing to lose and much to gain.
Three days! Yes, three days for a full kitchen remodel. The cabinets are sturdy and look classy when installed. If you are tired of these high priced locations all throughout the island check out Oriental Cabinet and Granite.
The owner, Jerry, actually comes out to the site and puts in some work. I was surprised to see the owner out there as at other locations you never get to meet even a high level manager, let alone the owner. I threw a few audibles to the design while they were at the house performing the demolition. Jerry being the mellow guy that he is just says, «O.k. We can do it.» Sweet!
I can’t say enough about this company. Quality work, they clean up after themselves and cater to the customer’s needs.
Just look at the pictures and you can see for yourself.
