Sam Choy’s Kapahulu says aloha

And we don’t mean hello. Rising costs eating into operating margins has forced Sam to close his Kapahulu restaurant and consolidate. It’s last day will be Sunday. All employees at the closing restaurant will be offered jobs at the much bigger Sam Choy’s Breakfast, Lunch, Crab & Big Aloha Brewery which will be renamed simply Sam Choy’s. They will continue to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner and some menu favorites from the Kapahulu restaurant will be moved over to the other restaurant. No worries if you’re a fan of the Sam Choy’s Kitchen cooking show, it too will be moved over to the other location and renovations will begin in the fall. If you have a gift certificate for the Kapahulu restaurant, they will be honored.

Sam is apparently in talks for a new restaurant concept to fill the old space with a partner in his restaurants and building owner, James Lee.

You can visit Sam’s website to order some of his delicious dressings/marinades if you’re not on the islands.
