Popular North Shore Oahu restaurant expanding to Honolulu's Chinatown


Opal Thai, which has gained quite a following at its North Shore of Oahu restaurant in Haleiwa, is expanding to Honolulu with a new location in Chinatown.
The Thai eatery is opening in the former Scratch Kitchen & Bake Shop restaurant space on Smith Street. In 2011, Opal Thai opened a brick-and-mortar location after operating out of a food truck for several years.
The restaurant at the Haleiwa Town Center is owned by a husband-and-wife duo. Its Chinatown restaurant, which is expected to be met with much enthusiasm by the growing restaurant and bar scene in the area, is its second eatery in Hawaii. Opal Thai gained fame when it was featured on the show "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives."
Scratch Kitchen recently sold its Chinatown location and closed down. It is now focusing on its other restaurant at Ward Village in the Honolulu neighborhood of Kakaako called Scratch Kitchen & Meatery. 
Honolulu-based Hawaii Commercial Real Estate was part of this transaction.
