May is known for two things: a colorful month of new blooms and growing anticipation for spring to transition into summer, and Mother's Day.
Waikiki Beach Walk provides a tribute to both, with exciting new shops and eateries blooming and brimming with fabulous treats and eats that are perfect gifts for mom.
And all just happen to be on the newest shopping hot spot in Waikiki: The 2nd level at Waikiki Beach Walk! So take a step up and enjoy exciting new shopping and dining options in Waikiki!
Welcome back!
Waikiki Beach Walk is thrilled to announce the return of an old friend, Noa Noa!
This evocative and expressive clothier that graced Waikiki Beach Walk for many years has now returned to again offer shoppers the true essence of life in the Pacific. For a trip into Noa Noa is like taking a long languid sail to the South Seas.
To enter Noa Noa is to enter a tropical island world bursting with the patterns and colors in traditional Hawaiian and Pacific Island Tapa and ethnic designs from around the world. These hand-batiked all natural fabrics include cottons, rayons, silks and linens, cut in a style that flatters as well as comforts both men and women.
They also have a superb collection of artifacts, accessories and jewelry from all over the Pacific and Southeast Asia to complete your sartorial journey.
Take our word for it, mom will love the trip. Especially when you add a delicious meal to the itinerary.
Thanks a brunch, mom!
Of course, along with flowers and sweets, an exquisite brunch ranks at the top of the list of tried, true and extremely popular Mother's Day gifts.
Now, most folks don’t even think about Ruth’s Chris Steak House when considering the best place to brunch, because people know Ruth's Chris Steak House is known for elegant, white linen fine dining.
However... this year Ruth's Chris will be open early with special hours for Mother's Day and expand their menu to include brunch, with imaginative creations like
Tenderloin Eggs Benedict, that play to their strengths of having what most people think (and vote as) the best steaks in America.
So whether it’s a creative, well out-of-the-ordinary brunch or a superb and exquisitely traditional dinner, you simply can’t go wrong picking Ruth’s Chris for your location to treat mom on her special day.
Throw in one of Ruth's Chris' luscious desserts and you'll be checking two of the three Mother's Day staples from the list. You’ll just need to add flowers.

If you're looking for the perfect gift for mom, treat her to a soothing session at
Blue Sky Thai Massage & Spa, also on WBW's 2nd level.

Crabby and Happy at the same time!
Also joining Waikiki Beach Walk's 2nd level is Cajun Crab, an exciting new dining experience featuring fresh local seafood prepared with exclusive recipes made with vibrant blends of Cajun spices. Perfect if you want to add a little spice to mom’s life.
The "Secret Sauce" of success for this eatery is actually five of them, as in your choice of 4 succulent and savory dipping sauces or a spicy dry rub to accompany a menu brimming with fresh-from-the-sea choices like crab, lobster, crawfish, clams, oysters, calamari and mussels.
A juicy slice of fresh local pineapple is served with every entree, along with perfect side accompaniments like succulent and crisp corn on the cob, fresh-cut tater tots, onion rings, and five varieties of french fries, including a sweet potato variety that might become your favorite after trying it.
A refreshing selection of local and Japanese beers tops off what is sure to be a fun and, depending on the choice of sauces, fiery meal for mom. As well as the entire family.
