Okonomiyaki Chibo Restaurant, on the third level of Building A, completed its $900,000 renovation at the end of June in the new 3,881-square-foot location. Marking its 17th year of operation at the center, the restaurant offers Japanese cuisine, including "Okonomiyaki" dishes originating from Osaka, Japan.
Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center, which is undergoing a major multimillion dollar renovation, consists of more than 310,000 square feet along a three-block stretch of Waikiki's Kalakaua Avenue.
