Local popular chef and restaurateur, Chai Chaowasaree, will launch a new Waikiki restaurant concept by the end of May. KALO: Hawaiian Food by Chai’s will occupy the spot formerly known as Spada Bar & Restaurant at the Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach.
“I chose the name KALO because it honors one of the most important staple foods among native Hawaiians,” Chaowasaree says. “In Hawai‘i, there are several foods that all visitors should try and kalo is certainly one of them.”
