Honolulu Star-Advertiser
On June 7, 2011 we celebrated our one-year anniversary as the Honolulu
Star-Advertiser. In our first year, we reached many milestones and
continued to evolve as we delivered information in more formats than
ever before. Readership of our many products continues to grow, which may be
one of the reasons we had a record-breaking number of “Hawaii’s Best” ballots
completed and returned.
Those listed in this publication should be proud that our readers believe so
much in what you provide and how you deliver excellence and value. Whether
you were first, second or third, you should be proud to be part of this exclusive
group.
We would like to thank our Star-Advertiser readers (more than 500,000 every
week), whose votes continue to make “Hawaii’s Best” an award sincerely
chosen by the people. It is an honor for these businesses and services to be
recognized by their peers, and it is our pleasure to present them as the “cream of
the crop” for 2011.
We would also like to thank our Star-Advertiser team that tirelessly counted
the thousands of ballots. It is important to us that we maintain the best integrity
we can by allowing only original ballots, and making this a true indication of our
readers’ choices.
We hope this year’s compilation of “Hawaii’s Best” will serve as a great
guidebook and keepsake that showcases all that the Islands have to offer.
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you for all your brilliant work.

Arose by any name may smell just assweet, but Hawaii residents know a rosefrom Watanabe Floral is guaranteed to be
the freshest pick of the bunch, which is why thepublic has voted thelocal companyHawaii’s “BestFlorist” multipletimes, includingthis year.
“We understandour position in thecommunity andwork tirelessly tomake a positiveimpact with thosearound us,” saidMonty Pereira,sales and market-
ing director. “We relish the opportunity to useour creativity to create something special forour guests.”
Started in 1945 by Ernest and SueWatanabe, Watanabe Floral Inc. has blossomed
over the years from rose growers and whole-salers to a full-service floral operation withmore than 60 employees, including a designteam of 10 literally assembled from all over theworld.
Though it no longer grows its own products,the company specializes in weddings, corporateand gala events, celebratory and sympathywork, and everyday cut flowers. In fact, withtwo stand-alone locations in Waipahu andHonolulu, as well as clients that include Sam’sClub, Walmart, Costco, Foodland, PolynesianCultural Center, Watabe Weddings, Target andHyatt Regency Waikiki, you can expect thatthat bouquet you purchased or lei you receivedwas created by the folks at Watanabe Floral.
“There is still nothing like seeing the smileon someone’s face when they receive flowers— that is priceless!” said Pereira, who joinedthe company in 1997. “We try our best, in alldecisions that we make, to show appreciationfor each and every person who chooses tospend their hard-earned money at WatanabeFloral.” – Sarah Pacheco

Atrip to the dentist often fills people withanxiety and fear, but visiting the offices ofDr. Wynn H. Okuda is more akin to spend-
ing the day at a top-notch spa, a reason whyOkuda was votedHawaii’s 2011 BestDentist.
“After coming to ouroffice, patients don’tsee going to the den-tist in the same way,”said Okuda, who origi-nated the revolutionaryDental Day Spa con-cept in 1996.
“The Dental Day Spaaddresses the multiple sources of dental anxietyto promote calm and relaxation,” Okuda stated.“We enjoy pampering our patients and try to helpthem forget they’re at the dental office with suchcomforts as spa amenities, five-star customerservice and massage provided by licensed mas-sage therapists.”
One of only 280 dentistsworldwide to be accredited bythe American Academy ofCosmetic Dentistry, Okudaentered the dental professionas a way to use his love of artfor a good cause — enhanc-ing the health, function andbeauty of teeth to bring out aperson’s best smile.
“I’ve seen many patientswho have avoided going to thedentist for 10 years or more orhad other circumstances thatdrastically affected their den-tal health. Their smile wasbroken down severely, andlikewise, their spirit and hopewere too. But when theirsmile was repaired, so weretheir self-image and their ability to communicateconfidently with the world,” Okuda said.
“By applying my artistic side, he added, “it
allows me to realize a vision for my patients for arenewed and rejuvenated look. This is what makescosmetic dentistry so exciting to me.” – SarahPacheco
