I think it went out of business in the mid or late 1970s, or early 1980s. There is a Kuhio Grill in Hilo today, but it is no relation to this iconic Mo‘ili‘ili tavern.
I remember going there in the late 1960s when I was at UH. And I remember it was still there in the early 70s. Since Kuhio Grill was near the UH (very close to Puck's Alley), there were a lot of students who went there. It was almost like going to a Korean bar, except the waitress were more like your Mom. You didn't buy them drinks; you just left them a good tip to pay for the "free" pupus they served you, so that next time you come, they would served you something good (again). We always went there to "study" (yeah, we brought our books), but by the second beer, it was a losing battle.
Here's a link to artist Doug Young website (with text by Glenn Grant) to get more info (and a painting) on this most unique bar/restaurant. Click on the "details" at the bottom right hand corner to see where it used to be.

I wrote about KG in my The Companies We Keep book. It opened in 1945, was my info.
KITV reporting this week that Peppa's on King Street has closed for good after a brush with e.coli.
Peter Kim, the owner, tells me the tests for e. coli. came back negative. I find it upsetting that the DOH goes public before it knows what the scoop is. They put a good place out of business.

Yes, that's off the chart bogus.
Look's like Satura Cakes in Ward Warehouse by Borders may be done, stuff is still inside but lights out for a week.
I don’t know if this is the end or if it’s just temporary, but Tanabe Superette on Keeaumoku Street is closed. There’s a sign on the door that says “Closed until further notice.” Usually (from past experience), this means the end. If that’s the case, then it’s the end of a 94 year old name. They’ve been around since 1917. Absolutely some of the best musubi on the island. Great convenience store. Like a local-style 7-Eleven.
But then again, they may come back in another form. Or not.
The Beard Papa Cream Puff Shop in the Salt Lake Shopping Center closed. I always wondered how many little cream puffs they had to sell to pay their rent. They tried to diversify with breakfast cream puffs and meat cream puffs but it just wasn't enough.
My guilt wouldn't allow my fat body to buy and eat those calorie-laden morsels. I liked them very much but hadn't had one in well over a year.
You can apply any terms to any situation to suit your perspective.

Not surprising at all. If Beard Papa couldn't even make a go of it in Waikiki (with all of the Japanese tourists there), they didn't stand much of a chance anywhere else on this island.
Erika Engle provides some details on the abrupt closing of Pablo's Cantina in Ward Centre.
