Hawaii is more Asia than North America.

Our KFCs are also MUCH better than mainland KFC. Sure, it's still KFC. But ours are what happens when people show up to work and give a damn. All our fast food is better. We have different menu items at McDonald's -- the McTeri Teriyaki burger; and Portuguese sausage, rice and eggs breakfast. It's still Mickey-D's. But it's much better than mainland Mickey-D's.

What we don't have is many Japanese tourists anymore. With the yen in the toilet, they've largely stopped coming. That's a big problem.
