We had to stop when we saw it was King’s Hawaiian Bread. We were NOT disappointed! Great service by Nick as he deftly made a change to my order and served me exactly what I wanted. Even though the restaurant was about half full the kitchen got our meal to us very quickly! The food was delicious and exactly as we ordered it. If I lived closer id be coming 2 or 3 times a week!! Highly recommend!!

We are beyond grateful to King’s Hawaiian Bakery for creating the most beautiful and delicious wedding cake for our special day! From the very beginning, Monique went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. She was so kind, professional, and genuinely cared about bringing our vision to life.
The cake was not only stunning to look at but absolutely heavenly to taste — light, moist, and perfectly balanced in flavor. Our guests are still talking about it! Monique’s warm spirit and attention to detail made the entire process such a joy, and we couldn’t have asked for a sweeter experience (literally and figuratively!).
Thank you, Monique and the King’s Hawaiian Bakery team, for being such an important part of our wedding day. You truly made it extra special!
While we were there we enjoyed yummy food too first time there the service was great! Did I mentioned they give your warm fresh Hawaiian rolls.

Building is old and musty. Needs renovation. Definitely negatively impacts the first impression.. The hostess was very sweet. The server wasn’t the most accommodating/ personable. Breakfast being served ONLY until 11am. So that was a bummer. Sweets from the counter were pretty good. Worth checking out if you’re passing through. Salsa for the breakfast burrito was really good.

We’ve been driving past this place for years and recently decided to go inside. We’re glad we did because it reminded us of our recent trip to Hawaii. The food was delicious. I enjoyed a couple of desserts and a perfectly cooked salmon bowl. The rice and fish were both good, and the flavors were great. Then we tried some of the round Hawaiian bread, which was perfect—sweet and delicious, similar to an Almond Long Danish. We took some of the dinner rolls from there to our Friendsgiving, warmed them up, and slathered them with butter—oh my God, it was so good. We were pleasantly surprised by the King’s Hawaiian bakery and restaurant and plan to go back soon. I also liked the marine aquarium inside. #KeepGoingOAM

I had such high expectations for this restaurant, as it came so highly recommended by a true foodie. I believe that even the best cook can have an off day, unfortunately my visit seemed to fallen on such a day. I started with the spam musibi and it was okay, as I would have liked for the spam to have been fried a little harder. The teriyaki sauce seemed a little off to me, but my friend enjoyed it. We ordered the highly renowned oxtail soup, but it seemed unfinished – the oxtail were tough and the broth seemed to have been a little rushed. The flavor was there, but it needed to feel the ohana of cooking longer to bring about the rich taste they are known for. So we moved onto the Korean beef short ribs… now this was a winner! Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Their macaroni sald is delicious. The Passion Orange Guava juice is perfection and a large serving size too. We also enjoyed the Dragon Fruit wine cooler. The hot macchiato came in a coffee cup from a machine and I would not recommend it, but my friend enjoyed it. Our server Sarah was okay.
Next time I am in the area, I might give them on more try.

I never knew they had their own dining restaurant til I moved here! Our family has always loved their breads, but here every mean is a compliment to it, it seems! We were not only overfilled, but over joyed. Terrific employees, each were very polite and fast, food cooked to perfection, and who knew they offer donuts too! We had to get some to go, plus stock up on their rolls. What a great place! And good prices too.

Great place to eat. I was worried about not having a reservation because of the well known name but it was a large place with plenty of parking and we were seated immediately. The food was amazing. I had the King scramble which was great but the hash browns were out of this world. The staff was attentive friendly and courteous. Henry was our server and he was the best!

I ended up coming here three times in just two days — and honestly, I would’ve gone again if I could. That should tell you everything.
From the moment you step inside, there’s this unmistakable aloha energy — warm, welcoming, and unhurried. The staff greets you like family, and there’s this genuine sense that they care about every plate that leaves the kitchen. It’s rare to find a restaurant that feels this personal in a city as big as LA.
The saimin hit all the right nostalgic notes — light, flavorful broth, chewy noodles, and comforting simplicity that feels like home in a bowl. The tonkatsu curry was hearty and rich, the kind of dish that makes you slow down just to appreciate it. And the mochi donuts? A dream — soft yet chewy with so many creative flavors that it’s impossible to pick just one favorite.
But the real star for me was the King’s Hawaiian dinner rolls. I’ve had them in grocery stores before, but fresh from the source, they’re on another level — slightly sweet, buttery, and so pillowy soft that you just want to tear them apart and eat them plain.
The ambience sealed the experience — bright, open, and full of that Kihei, Maui vibe: relaxed, friendly, with the scent of baked goods in the air and a hum of happy conversation all around. It’s the kind of place where families linger, friends laugh over coffee, and time just feels slower — in the best possible way.
Everything — the food, the people, the atmosphere — reminded me why Hawaiian hospitality is so special. It’s more than service; it’s heart. And King’s Hawaiian delivers that effortlessly.
If you’re ever in LA, make this your first stop (and probably your second and third too). ✨

Walking up to the restaurant, we were greeted by a man in a Hawaiian shirt sporting a fresh lei who happily exclaimed “enjoy!!” to us as we passed by. And that is how we knew we were where we needed to be.
King’s Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant has the answer to all of your problems. Can’t decide on dinner? King’s Hawaiian. Bad day at work? King’s Hawaiian. Too many drinks the night before? King’s Hawaiian.
Once we sat down inside the restaurant, we were greeted with a basket of six warm Hawaiian sweet rolls. Heaven in a basket am I right? We ordered the Mix Plate to split and it was more than enough. Everything was so delicious! We finished the night off with a slice of Paradise Cake, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. Throughout our meal, all the tables around us were beaming with joy and it felt like home.
Their menu is robust and there are so many options to choose from for whatever mood you are in. They even have breakfast all day. Their bakery menu items all looked amazing and you can even buy a bag of ground Hawaiian coffee! If we had one of these in Georgia, I am confident my family and I would frequent every month, if not weekly. I’ve already asked my husband if we can fly back out here for my birthday. We’ll see?

Always delicious food. The oxtail soup is so bomb, the mac salad is perfect, and the bakery always has the freshest, tastiest treats – I get something different everytime I visit! Its on the other side of town from me, but worth the drive for delicious food.
