Busy weekend for restaurants with Mother’s Day, Graduation

Watch as Director of Operations and Partner Michael Miller discusses the growing demand for reservations, their special menu offerings, and how they're catering to local families during these challenging times. Don't miss out on this insider look at Hawaii's thriving restaurant scene!

HONOLULU (KHON2) — Next weekend is expected to be a busy one for Hawaii restaurants, not only will it be Mother’s Day but graduations are also taking place on the same weekend, but those waiting last minute to make reservations may still be in luck. 

The Tiki’s Grill & Bar Director of Operations and Partner Michael Miller said business is picking up, especially with the summer months approaching. He said reservations are coming in for Mother’s Day Sunday brunch, but they still have some availability during the later evening hours.

Miller said, “If you don’t have a reservation it may be up to an hour-long that day because most of the places that have been around that are doing a great job are going to be busy.”

Other places like 53 By The Sea have been fully booked since a couple of weeks ago. The restaurant manager Royce Takahashi said they are planning on being fully staffed. 

“A lot of it is a mental game as well,” Takahashi said. “But the staff here you know they’ve, they work very hard and it’s nothing that’s really new to them. As long as you come in with a good mindset, a game plan for service it should go, it should go smoothly, knock on wood.”

Restaurant kitchens have been preparing for this coming busy weekend for months. From creating a fixed menu or buffet, and making sure the ingredients are available.

Miller said they also factored in the cost of the items on the special menu and how much customers are willing to pay for a meal. He understands many local families are working hard to just pass by during economic hardships. 

“If you look at our pricing compared to some of our other friends in the industry, we priced ours below theirs,” Miller said. “And we did that on purpose because we didn’t want to gouge families so we thought ours was fair, to help cover our costs, make a little bit of money but really give a great experience.”

Even on Sunday, some restaurants may have a couple of tables set aside for walk-ins, or they could offer bar seating. 

The Hawaii Restaurant Association Executive Director Sheryl Matsuoka is asking folks to notify restaurants if they need to cancel, other people may be looking for that reservation.

Matsuoka said, “My recommendation is to call the restaurant, many times you can call the restaurants and they will say, ‘Hey guess what someone just canceled I can put you in on these times,’ a lot of times if you do call you might be able to get a reservation." Many restaurants will be updating their availability online as the week goes on, they asked that customers to continue checking if there is a certain time they want.

In Hawaii, Ohana is of utmost importance, and taking mom or tutu out for Mother's Day is a cherished tradition. At Tiki's Grill & Bar, we consider it our kuleana (responsibility) to host a memorable experience for the whole family. That's why we change our style of service to a buffet and welcome so many kama'aina and visitors. In this behind-the-scenes look, we'll share how we prepare for a Mother's Day celebration at our restaurant.

Step 1: Reflecting on the past
Our preparation starts with reviewing notes from previous years, including chef and manager insights, guest counts, online reviews, and staffing notes. We evaluate what worked and what could be improved to ensure we're offering the best experience possible for our guests.

Step 2: Scoping out the competition
We reach out to other establishments and gather information on their offerings for Mother's Day. By building a competition grid, we can understand what others are providing in terms of hours, menus, service style, and pricing for both keiki and adults.

Step 3: Collaborating with our entire team
The preparation for Mother's Day at Tiki's Grill & Bar is truly a team effort. Our chefs Ronnie, Jason, and Mikey reflect on past successes and consider new menu ideas, ensuring that we can source ingredients at prices that allow us to make a profit. Meanwhile, Jenni, our manager in charge of holiday planning, coordinates with Jennifer on staffing, building the OpenTable plan, writing scripts, and managing dozens of logistical details, from ordering tablecloths and linen napkins to ensuring we have crab crackers on hand, planning the flow in OpenTable, and handling the logistics of payments.
However, it doesn't stop there; it takes the whole management team's dedication and expertise to plan and execute a successful Mother's Day celebration. From the bands providing live entertainment to the dishwashers, every member of the Tiki's Grill & Bar family plays a vital role in making the day special. The synergy between the various departments is essential for smooth operations and an unforgettable experience for our guests.

Step 4: Crafting the menu
Our team assembles a mouth-watering menu, including various stations, hot foods, and a salad/cold bar. Some highlights include Alaskan Snow Crab Legs, a "Build Your Own" Omelet Station, Hand Carved Salt Crusted Prime Rib, Togarashi Seared Salmon, and a Poke Bar featuring Ahi, Marlin, and Salmon. To top it all off, we offer an extensive assortment of desserts, including Lilikoi Cheesecake and sheet cakes.

Step 5: Coordinating with other departments
While Jenni oversees the holiday planning, it takes the coordination of eight other managers and departments to pull off this incredible feat. From the front of house to the back of house, every team member plays a crucial role in ensuring a successful and enjoyable Mother's Day celebration.

Step 6: The big day
With everything in place, we open our doors to welcome families looking to treat their moms to a special Mother's Day meal. As guests arrive, our well-prepared team works together seamlessly, delivering an unforgettable experience for all.

At Tiki's Grill & Bar, we take our kuleana seriously when it comes to providing a memorable Mother's Day celebration for the whole Ohana. https://www.tikisgrill.com/mom

PRO TIP  no matter where you take your family make your reservations in advance.

ALOHA fellow ham radio enthusiasts! Gather 'round, and let me regale you with the tale of my most thrilling (and somewhat hilarious) experience using my ICOM IC-7300 transceiver. With only 100 watts max power and a G5RV jr wire antenna that's seen better days, I managed to make a mind-boggling 52 contacts on 20 meters, parking on 14.268 MHz. The pile-up was massive, chaotic, and incredibly fun – it was like the Black Friday of ham radio!


Working a pile-up like this can really train your ears to pick up call signs amidst the cacophony. It was like playing "Where's Waldo?" with my ears. And I must say, I've become quite the auditory detective.    

My time was limited, as I had only an hour and a half before I needed to have dinner with my wife. As the clock ticked, I could practically hear her stomach growling . But in that short window, I managed to have voice conversations (QSOs) and exchange signal reports with 52 people across 18 different countries or DXCC entities. Many of our signal reports were a true 59, which, as you know, is really good – or as I like to say, the ham radio equivalent of a high-five!

Sad to say I left at least 25 people hanging when I said I was signing off to have dinner with my XYL (WIFE)  ALOHA and 73 KH6ML


Here's a list of the countries and their prefixes that I managed to make contact with during my adventure:


As dinner time approached, I signed off with a mixture of pride and the realization that my wife was probably plotting to hide my radio gear if I didn't get to diner soon. I quickly wrapped up and rushed to dinner, grateful for my ICOM IC-7300 and the trusty G5RV jr wire antenna for making this amazing (and amusing) pile-up adventure possible.

If you've been considering upgrading your ham radio setup, I highly recommend giving this combo a try. Who knows? You'll be the next one to share your own pile-up escapades, and we can swap stories over a virtual cup of coffee.

Until next time, 73, happy DXing, and remember to keep your spouses fed!

Please feel free to share this video: as you see fit.

Exciting news for the Lana'i High and Elementary School! Students communicated with astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS) through Amateur Radio. This incredible opportunity was part of the ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) Program, which aimed to inspire students and promote STEM education.

The live connection with the ISS was facilitated by HAM operator Jan Poppeliers ON4ISS in Belgium, and the interview featured astronaut Warren Hoburg KB3HTZ. The amazing event was watched live on the ARISS YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/ARISSlive/videos

This marks the first ARISS contact for Hawaii in 20 years! Teachers Danyel Erickson and Tricia Calhoon have been preparing their students for this momentous event with science clubs, field trips, stargazing events, and guest speakers.

Also visiting and sharing with the students is our astronomer friend Heather, callsign AH7RF.

Amateur Radio, or "Ham" Radio, allowed communication across town, around the world, and even into space without relying on conventional communication infrastructure. It was a great source of electronics experimentation, public service, and fun!

If you are in Hawaii and interested in obtaining your license to communicate with the ISS, you can find more information at http://hameducation.org/education/

Aloha, food lovers and community enthusiasts! We are excited to share the heartwarming experience of our Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana, who recently volunteered at the Hawaii Foodbank to sort and organize produce and packaged foods.

The team had a fantastic time giving back to the local community, embracing the spirit of Aloha and living the true meaning of Ohana.

Our Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana, led by our passionate chef Jason and dedicated manager Drew, embarked on this noble mission to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most. They spent an entire day at the Hawaii Foodbank, where they rolled up their sleeves and got to work sorting and organizing fresh produce and packaged foods.

This act of kindness and generosity is an extension of the warm Aloha spirit that the Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana embodies. As a local business, we believe in not just serving mouth-watering dishes but also in contributing to the well-being of the community we call home.

The day was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the joy of giving back. Our team members formed an assembly line, working together like a well-oiled machine to sort and pack the food items. The experience was an excellent opportunity for bonding and getting to know one another better, strengthening the sense of Ohana within our team.

Mahalo to chef Jason and manager Drew for organizing this wonderful event and to the entire Tiki's Grill & Bar Ohana for their hard work and dedication. Your spirit of giving back and your commitment to the community are truly inspiring.

We look forward to more opportunities to serve our community and share the Aloha spirit, both within our restaurant and beyond. If you would like to join us in our efforts to support the Hawaii Foodbank or other local organizations, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Until our next adventure, let's continue to spread the love, warmth, and joy that make the Aloha spirit so special. Mahalo!

During the 2023 ARRL International DX Contest, I was able to make 133 successful contacts with amateur radio operators in North America, including Canada. Although I had to take breaks to work on some household projects, attend to a few work-related items, and spend time with my wife, I was still able to achieve my personal best with a score of 19,950. However, I am wondering if my score will place in any category.

As a resident of Hawaii with the call sign KH6ML, I was thrilled to participate in the contest and test my skills using my Icom IC-7300 and G5RV Jr Antenna while running my power at 100 watts. I also used the N1MM Logging software to keep track of my contacts. The contest aimed to expand North American stations' knowledge of DX propagation on the HF and MF bands, improve operating skills, and enhance station capabilities. We were limited to using the 160, 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10-meter bands.
To prepare, I spent time studying propagation patterns and ensuring my station was in optimal condition. During the contest, I focused on contacting DX stations to expand my knowledge of propagation on the HF and MF bands. Despite the challenges posed by my location in Hawaii, I remained determined and worked hard to make successful contacts.

The competition was fierce, with international stations participating in the mix. Nonetheless, the contest allowed me to expand my knowledge of DX propagation, improve my operating skills, and enhance my station capabilities.

Overall, participating in the 2023 ARRL International DX Contest was an unforgettable experience that allowed me to learn, grow, and connect with other amateur radio enthusiasts in the community. As a member of ARRL, I am proud to support the ARRL Contest Program, the world's largest, with many events from HF through microwave. Membership also grants free access to the National Contest Journal, the ARRL’s online archive of QST articles, and the Technical Information Service. I look forward to participating in more contests in the future and building my skills and understanding of propagation patterns and radio overall.

As a side note: Radio contesting can provide valuable training and experience for emergency communication (EMCOMM) situations. Contests simulate a high-pressure environment, requiring quick thinking and efficient communication skills. These skills are essential in real-world emergencies where communication is critical and every second counts. Contesting also helps hams to develop skills in operating equipment and antenna systems, setting up portable stations, and deploying quickly to remote locations, all of which are crucial in emergency communication scenarios. By participating in radio contests and training exercises, hams can enhance their abilities to operate effectively in emergency situations, making them well-equipped to support their communities when the need arises. Thus, radio contesting can be an essential part of preparation for real-world emergencies and EMCOMM.

Otoshi is a unique part of Japanese dining culture.


Have you ever visited a Japanese restaurant and found yourself faced with an unexpected fee called otoshi at the beginning of your meal?

To clarify, otoshi is not a side dish, appetizer, or drink; it is an automatic fee that comes with sitting down at a table in some Japanese establishments. Some restaurants even have signs stating "otoshi wa kanrisha ni narimasu," which means "otoshi will be served by the server."

Otoshi is not always a simple fee. It can range from a small plate of pickled vegetables to a full-blown seafood platter. And the best part? You didn't even order it!

The reason behind this practice is to encourage diners to start eating and drinking right away, rather than lingering and taking up valuable table space. So, in a way, you're paying for the privilege of having a seat at the table. #culture #restaurants #JapaneseDining #DiningCulture #Restaurants #uniqueexperience #Japan #travel

Halau O Na Pua Kukui Came Together for a Good Cause: A Kalua Pig Fundraiser

Halau O Na Pua Kukui, a traditional Hawaiian dance group, had come together for a special fundraiser. The goal of this event was to raise funds for the hula halau's upcoming performances and to preserve the traditions of Hawaiian dance and culture.

The highlight of this fundraiser was the sale of kalua pig, a traditional Hawaiian dish made by slow roasting pig in an underground oven called an imu. From cutting the hard Kiave wood and splitting it, Digging the pit, cutting of the banana stocks and Ti leafs, and backing and salting the pig with Pa‘aka Hawaiian Sea salt.

The kalua pig being sold at this fundraiser was made with the utmost care and attention to detail, ensuring that each bite was bursting with flavor and authenticity.

The hula halau had worked tirelessly to make this fundraiser a success, with each member lending their own unique skills and talents. From preparing the kalua pig to selling tickets and promoting the event, everyone was working together to make this a memorable and successful event.

This fundraiser was not just about raising funds, but it was also about sharing and promoting Hawaiian culture with family and friends and the community.

The hula halau invited everyone to come out and support this fundraiser. Not only would they be supporting a good cause, but they would also be able to enjoy delicious kalua pig and learn about Hawaiian culture and traditions.

Halau O Na Pua Kukui's kalua pig fundraiser was a unique and meaningful event that brought together a community of people who were passionate about Hawaiian dance and culture. It was a testament to the power of working together towards a common goal and preserving traditions for future generations. Uncle Ed Collier is the kumu hula of Halau O Na Pua Kukui

Being a invited to judge student projects by Dr. Jerry Agrusa, a Professor with the School of Travel Industry Management in the Shidler College of Business at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, is a great honor for me, as I was once a student of Dr. Jerry's back in the 90's, and I learned a lot from him. Dr. Agrusa is a highly respected and accomplished professional in the field of travel industry management, and I am grateful for the opportunity to work with him and the students in his program.

As a judge for the student projects, I have the opportunity to evaluate the students' work and provide them with valuable feedback. The projects are always innovative and well-researched, and it is inspiring to see the students' passion and dedication in their chosen field. It's also a great opportunity for me to learn from the students as well, as they present their ideas and solutions.

Working with Dr. Agrusa and the students has been a great experience, and I have learned a lot from the process. Dr. Agrusa is a knowledgeable and experienced mentor and it is a pleasure to work with him. He is always available to answer any questions and provide guidance to the students, and his enthusiasm for the subject matter is contagious.

In conclusion, being invited to judge student projects by Dr. Jerry Agrusa at the University of Hawaii at Manoa is an honor for me. It is a great opportunity to give back to the University and contribute to the education and development of future leaders in the field of travel industry management. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with Dr. Agrusa and the students and look forward to continuing to be involved in this way.

Gigi, a former employee at Tiki's Grill & Bar, recently landed a job as an RN in the ICU at UCLA. In an interview with the restaurant, she shared her thoughts on how working in the hospitality industry, particularly at Tiki's, relates to her career in nursing.

Gigi believes that the restaurant industry, and Tiki's in particular, and nursing have many similarities. During her interview at UCLA, she was asked how working at Tiki's relates to nursing, and she had plenty to say on the topic.

"Customer service, teamwork and collaboration, strong communication, and the ability to work in a fast-paced environment are all skills that I developed while working at Tiki's that I can apply to my nursing career," Gigi said. "Tiki's is such a busy and sought-after restaurant, and we're always on our toes 24/7. This has taught me how to use my prioritization skills, sense of urgency, and how to provide excellent customer service."

Gigi went on to explain that these skills will be crucial in her nursing career, as she will need to provide excellent patient care. She believes that working at Tiki's has provided her with a strong foundation for her nursing career.

In conclusion, Gigi believes that working in the hospitality industry, and Tiki's in particular, has a lot of similarities with the nursing profession. She believes that the skills she developed while working at Tiki's will be crucial in her nursing career and that it has provided her with a strong foundation for her nursing career.

The Great ShakeOut was a volunteer exercise for amateur radio operators (HAMs) to test their ability to establish emergency radio communications in the event of a natural disaster. The Hawaii Amateur Radio Emergency Service hosted the drill, which was based on a simulated 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Hawaii's Volcanoes National Park. The exercise objective was for HAMS with Winlink capability to submit one Did You Feel It? (DYFI) report to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) via Winlink within one hour. The mode used for communication was either VARA FM, VARA HF, Packet, Pactor, or Telnet. The DYFI form could be found in the Winlink Express and submitting the report should take less than ten minutes. The USGS encourages HAMS to participate in this exercise to help provide critical seismic intensity reports in the event of a real earthquake.

Great ShakeOut - This was an exercise to test the ability of volunteer Amateur Radio operators (HAMS) to establish emergency radio communications and send in reports to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) via Winlink.


Short video of the drill.

HAMS can now contribute to a more robust delivery mechanism for critical seismic intensity reports after major earthquakes through the U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Did You Feel It? (DYFI) system.

The Hawaii Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES®)  hosted this exercise.

The exercise was based on a real earthquake that occurred last year off of the Big Island and was felt throughout the State of Hawaii. However, this exercise scenario will be located inland, in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The simulation will be a 7.2 magnitude earthquake occurring at 8:55 a.m. HST resulting in various damages on the Big Island and felt throughout the State of Hawaii. No simulated local tsunami was generated.

The exercise objectives for Hawaii hams with Winlink capability:

  • Submit one DYFI report to the USGS with a cc: to planners
  • Submit within only one hour, between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. HST 
  • In the Additional Comments box at the bottom of the form, please indicate how you are submitting the report via what mode, which gateway, and your callsign.
  • ave fun learning.

The USGS DYFI form can be found in Winlink Express: click on Message, click on New Message, click on Select Template, under Standard Templates, scroll down to USGS, then click on USGS DYFI.txt.

The DYFI form is attached below.
Mode to be use will be VARA FM, VARA HF, Packet, Pactor, or Telnet.We hope those with Winlink capability will be able to participate in this easy exercise. It should take less than ten minutes to complete.

In a real earthquake, remember to duck, cover and hold on!

An example DYFI form can be found here: DYFI_example_form

The 2022 Sailboat Race, also known as the Lahaina Returns, was an annual event that took place on Labor Day. The crew of 8, Mark, Kana, Amy, Mack, Michael, Levi, and Hailey, set sail on Puanani, a Beneteau 393, from Honolua Bay on Maui to finish in Kaneohe Bay.


With a length overall of 39.25ft and a beam of 13ft, we had enough crew for the task at hand. Puanani is moored at Kaneohe Yacht Club (KYC) and the crew sailed her up a few days early to be ready for the race. 

The Lahaina Return Race is an 80+ mile downwind race that starts in Honolua Bay on Maui's northwest coast and finishes in Kaneohe Bay or Honolulu's Ala Wai Harbor. The race is accompanied by an inshore regatta and a long holiday weekend in West Maui.

The crew tried to check in early on the VHF radio but had little luck as they motor sailed to Honolulu Bay. As different classes of boats started, the crew was trying to get to the bay to line up for the start. They did check in and made it to the start line as the last boat to cross.

The race takes sailors through Honolua Bay, Mokuleia Bay and Lipoa Point, which are part of an area known as the ahupuaa of Honolua, located just north of Kapalua in West Maui. 

The fleet immediately started to spread out with a few boats racing side by side doing the dance. And as Capt Mark is known to say. Don’t worry about them the are not in our class as they have no class. It sound better when he says it.

Salt spay was flying as those who were not controlling sails or driving were ask to get there weight on the high side. To help the boat plane faster.


We hit some current a lighter winds for a bit as came up on Mokuho‘oniki is an small island of off Molokai near situated nearby to the Punolohi and Kekua‘ai‘opihi. We were making good time when we hit some heavy surface currents off of Cape Hālawa. Hand Lines we deployed but no fish were caught this year!


The race down the north shore of Molokai, home to one of the most stunning natural wonders in Hawaii: the Kalaupapa Cliff and Mooula Falls. The Kalaupapa Cliff is a massive sea cliff that stretches for over 17 miles along the northern coast of Molokai and is the world's highest sea cliff, towering at over 3,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. The cliffs are a sight to behold, with their rugged, jagged edges and deep crevices that have been carved by centuries of wind and waves.


Good conversation and sea shanty songs were improved and made. Our course followed the “rhumbline” that is an imaginary straight line between two marks. Downwind, this represents the shortest distance you can sail and it's generally the fastest to way to get back to the club bar to get a drink,.. So many people think its called the Run Line….

We did have some sail changes but were able to stay on course heading down wind with no tacts required. We did tear a sail as the wind was blasting on and off with massive puffs.

As the sun beat down on us and the sound of the ocean was interrupted by the Coast Guard trying to hail another boat from the fleet on Channel 16 VHF, we started to piece together what was happening. The boat in distress had lost steerage and was not able to control the rudder. Information was spotty at first, but we eventually received an updated report that they were okay and had rigged something up to sail. Later, as they got closer to land, they were able to contact the Coast Guard via cell phone. There were some tense moments while we waited for news.

As Makapu'u Point, the easternmost point on the island of Oahu, came into view, someone shouted "Land Ho!" We were all relieved and excited to see the island. 

The view of Oahu from the ocean is breathtaking and gave us a lot of time to reflect on our lives.

The crew of Puanani finished in 5th place in the K Series Standing with a corrected time of 07:17:01. Despite the challenges they faced during the race, we had a great time with friends and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of Hawaii. It was a truly memorable experience.
