Where can I find Manapua? (or even Polynesian Restaurant)

My father is coming to visit me and he mentioned that he hadn't had Manapua since he lived in Hawaii twenty years ago. I've never had them, but as I understand they are similar to Chinese bao.
Does anyone know a restaurant where they serve them? I have looked for a Polynesian restaurant but can't seem to find one, it seems like there would be my best bet.
Otherwise, does anyone have a favourite dim sum places. I've tried a few on/around Argyle, but am open to new places.
