“We are thrilled to introduce the Waikīkī Food Hall and welcome a new assortment of eateries to Royal Hawaiian Center,” said Marleen Akau, Royal Hawaiian Center Vice President, General Manager. “Our Food Hall is designed as a food-driven gathering space that offers something for everyone – from superfood smoothies and coffee to start the day, to regional favorites like made-to-order musubi and garlic shrimp dishes, a local craft beer bar for pau hana, and much more.”
