I was looking for a very special gift of a ukulele. I was so fortunate to find Aloha City Ukes. Buying something long distance and site unseen is a difficult task. Many big companies seemed overkill and impersonal. I corresponded with Matt Cantion, who made my purchase a real pleasure.I was looking for a KoAloha KTM-00. Matt answered all my concerns promptly and to my satisfaction. In fact when I made my choice, he contacted me immediately to inform me that the online picture had not been updated to reflect the item he had in stock and immediately sent new pictures for my approval.Aloha City Ukes is a class act and exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this family owned business to anyone on the market.Great respect and thanks,RichardDallas Texas

High-quality ukulele selection and lots of great feel-good items at great prices. Family-owned, in-store performances, easy parking - what more can I say?! I’m so excited for this store to be open!

Can’t thank Matt and his staff enough for helping me get my new Kala Elite KOA-CT-T ukulele. After searching several of the nationwide music stores online with no luck, I found one in stock at Aloha City Ukes. This was a big purchase site unseen (besides the pictures and videos online) and I was able to call and talk to Matt about the uke, ask questions and feel much more at the ease with the purchase. The ukulele in the pics is exactly what I received. Matt and his team were able to help me use 2 payment methods so I could use a visa cash card. Ordered the uke on 12/14 and had it shipped to me in Florida with no issues by 12/17 and had it in plenty of time for Christmas. The sound and tone is pure and incredible. I am very happy with my purchase and wish we had a store like Aloha City Ukes down here in Florida. I will definitely use you guys again and recommend to any uke players I meet. Thanks!!!

Bought a Pono Baritone MBD from this store and it is excellent. Matt was attentive to any questions and concerns I had and responded quickly to my emails. Also had a K&K pickup installed into this uke by his tech that was a first rate install. This is a top tier shop run by a competent and knowledgeable proprietor. I certainly will be returning for any future purchases.

I’m an avid ‘ukulele player and while I own 5 none were great quality. I had been eying a nicer kala for a long time and finally decided to purchase it from Aloha city online. The free shipping is a huge plus. I messaged them multiple times asking questions and all were answered promptly. It arrived in great shape with just a fantastic setup. Action is perfect and the fretboard nicely conditioned. Would highly recommend over purchasing from Amazon. The setup is worth more than anything you might save from another store.

If I could give 10 stars I would.Excellent ukuleles. Very knowledgable Mom and Pop Staff.The best customer service! This is the place to get knowledgable fast custom service. Same day delivery, it was here in less than 24 hours! I am in love with the ukulele and the tuner I got. The customer service was unbeatable. I have been following Aloha Ukes on instagram keeping my eye out for one and I saw one I wanted to try, but it was out of stock the owner encouraged me to check out one and I wasnt sure, but this ukulele is sounds so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I mean the price and the service is unbeatable too. Forget amazon, forget guitar city, this place is the place to get a Uke. This place only has the good stuff.

I came in because they had a particular ukulele I had been looking at online- one you don’t find in a lot of stores.The store was very cute and clean; Matt was super personable and helped with me all of my questions.I decided I wanted the uke but in a different color than what he had. He ordered it for me from the company and did a great job keeping me updated on the order while waiting for it to arrive.He even threw in a bag for me at the end! Great customer service! Highly recommend!

I just bought a Kanile’a KSR Tenor at this store . I took an Uber from the loop for an hour. I was welcomed with the warm embrace of the wood smells. Treated with ultimate hospitality, kindness and assistance from the owner and a kind customer. The uke Community is the warmest group of people in the cold winter of Chicago. Thank you for helping me purchase my lifelong instrument.A big Mahalo to aloha city Ukes.

Just to let you know store sells online too. Excellent prices and fast shipping. Also, tested the customer service when small portion of order was incorrect. Received wrong size of ukulele strings. Quick email and replacement strings were on way. Will buy from them again.

Great store! Never knew there were so many kinds of ukuleles. First time seeing an instrument made of mango wood. John was super helpful in explaining their differences. Ended up buying a tenor Ohana. Definitely will come back for one of their free Sunday lessons/ jam sessions. Thank you John!

5 star customer service from beginning to end. I really appreciated how Matt communicated with me to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. My uke came in perfect condition and was ready to play right out of the box. My husband wants to buy a baritone ukulele and we both agreed that we would definitely be buying from Aloha City Ukes again!
