I don't feel like looking up stats, I'm sure someone else will post them eventually, but I think Honolulu would be the most obvious choice, if you consider Hawaiians Pacific Islanders. I cannot speak for any other city, other than Miami. Although Metro Miami has a very small Asian population in general compared to other American cities, we have a fairly significant Filipino population. Again, not sure on the numbers, but it's there.
Wouldn't by definition Hawaiians be "Pacific Islanders"? (Seeing as they are of an island in the Pacific). I'm pretty sure Native Hawaiians are considered Polynesians, if you want to break down the "Pacific Islander" name further.
Probably you should take Honolulu out of this poll.
Okay I was slightly off, here is Census 2010 for Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders(such as myself)

Both Salt Lake City and Dallas (mostly around Euless) surprisingly have a large Tongan population.
