A Kapahulu retail complex and Chinese restaurant that share the Hee Hing name are slated for overhauls next month that will downsize the restaurant while upgrading the building and adding a new tenant, a second Hono­lulu location for craft beer pub Pint and Jigger.

Property and restaurant owner KB Lee Corp. announced Monday that Hee Hing Restaurant will close for about six months starting April 15 while renovations are made to Hee Hing Plaza.

Other tenants in the 36,000-square-foot center are expected to remain open during the renovation work that will include adding a second-floor lanai, expanded ground-floor retail space, a 30-by-40-foot skylight and new air conditioning.

As part of the overhaul, Hee Hing Restaurant will be renovated but reduced in size to 6,000 square feet from 12,000 square feet while retaining capacity to hold banquets for up to 250 people.

During the restaurant’s closure, many employees will be transferred to a new KB Lee business focusing on local-style dim sum, Mana­pua to Go, which is slated to open next month at 580 N. Nim­itz Highway in Iwi­lei where Aloha Beer Co. was formerly located.

Hee Hing Plaza at 449 Kapa­hulu Ave. opened in 1983, providing a new location for Hee Hing Restaurant, which was established in 1963 by Kin Ball Lee.
