There were many hawaiian restaurants in queens at one time. Sadly all are gone now. As far as I know the Hawaii Kai was there on Broadway into the 1980s not long before 'Goodfellas' was released. There is still one Hawaiian restaurant left in Queens called King Yum. I was there last year and business was booming. Apparently they have a very popular Karaoke night on Wednesdays and Fridays. According to the management every seat/table is full on Fridays, so I would like to think that they're still there now carrying on as usual.
