Restaurant Suntory at the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center has temporarily closed after one of its employees tested positive for COVID-19.

According to a posting on the restaurant’s web site, the restaurant closed Monday after the employee tested positive. The employee was last on the premises on Saturday.
