Alan Wong’s Closes After 25 Years, Town After 16 Years

But just as with family, our present relationship doesn’t change our past. More than any other restaurants, Town and Alan Wong’s laid the foundation for my understanding of Hawai‘i. And, I’d argue, over the last two decades, few other restaurants and the restaurateurs behind them have shaped modern Hawai‘i cuisine as much as these two.
