About Tommy O’s

Few people get to create a lasting relationship with their first love. Tommy Owens has succeeded in bringing together several of his loves, which he graciously shares with everyone who walks through the doors of his bistro.

 

Hawai’i, his first love, plays a prominent role in his restaurant. From the Pacific Rim creations to the tropical décor, Tommy strives to create an island experience that relaxes and nourishes. In Hawaii, to “live Aloha” is to act with courtesy and caring so the world we treasure will thrive and endure — a value that is omnipresent in Tommy’s restaurant.

 

Another of his loves – Tommy’s wife – introduced him to the restaurant business nearly 25 years ago when she was cooking with 5-star chefs in Tahoe. Thinking it might be fun to have their own restaurant someday, Tommy went through the Chart House manager’s program, ultimately committing 12 years of his career managing and opening some of their most prominent locations.

 

After completing his corporate run with the Chart House here in Vancouver, Tommy had the vision of opening a restaurant that served high-quality food in a relaxing atmosphere. Thus, Tommy O’s Aloha Café was born at the Vancouver Marketplace. Since then, Tommy has expanded his restaurant from a popular sandwich café to a full-service dining destination with a loyal following of fans.
