THEY HAVE A BEAUTIFUL FISH AQUARIUM!!
No need to drive all the way to King’s Hawaiian on Sepulveda, The Local Place has many of the same bakery items, and they’re just as delicious!
I ordered the Kama‘aina Plate with three entrées (beef, kalua pork, and chicken katsu), all perfectly cooked and full of flavor. I couldn’t leave without something from the bakery! I purchased a slice of pumpkin cake with a rich orange icing and a piece of bread pudding, both absolutely fantastic.
I also met Amethyst, the manager, who was such a sweetheart and provided outstanding customer service. My only small critique is that I wish the same friendliness she shows could be reflected a bit more by the rest of the staff, especially at the register.
Overall, a great experience, I can’t wait to go back for more bakery treats and another delicious meal!

King’s Hawaiian is local staple in the South Bay. I grew up having their wonderful Paradise Cakes for special occasions and the taste always reminds me of sunny summer birthdays.
My favorites treats include the sweet rolls, rainbow bread slices, guava cake, and paradise cake. They also have wonderful pies, crinkle cookies, fruit tarts, and pineapple dole whip. They also have a large savory menu that is worth a try.
Definitely worth a detour and visit!

Happened to be in Torrance to do some shopping. Got a taste for the Hawaiian Local Bakery & Cafe and was hungry, too! I got their Hawaiian Plantation Chicken plate and my sister got their Beef Stew plate. Oh my was it delicious and really hit the spot! The rice and macaroni salad were perfectly made and so yummy. Ate so much and did not even have room for their deserts . Going to have take some home for later.

Stopped by The Local Place for breakfast after a few years. Last time I was here, I’d noticed three kūpuna, good friends having a spirited discussion over coffee and a pastry. Pretty sure the same guys were there today, shooting the breeze.
The restaurant’s vibe was different today, however. Used to be able to come in here feeling like ohana. Today? Just another customer. The next person to be served by the lone counterterrorism trying to get through the line.
Sat down for the Island breakfast. It’s why I came in after all these years: just wanted some King’s Hawaiian French toast. That was as I’d remembered. Sweet (didn’t need the syrup), light crunch with a soft (not soggy) interior.
Utensils were as flimsy as ever, barely enough to cut through the bread. Lone counterperson apologized for not having ketchup for the spam, which I was totally fine with, and offered hot sauce.
None of that detracted from the breakfast. Decent food at a decent place.

First time here. Loved it. Ordering was easy and quick. Service was friendly. The food was amazing! I regret not taking any of the bakery items home for dessert. So we will definitely be back soon

I don’t dislike it. Ordered 3 entrees and 2 sides. Chicken, Katsu, Hawaiian chicken, teriyaki beef, fried rice, and potato macaroni salad.
Fried rice tasted like bonito or dashi stock. Flavors from the rest of these items are generic, or can easily be found in many Japanese or Hawaiian restaurants.
Overall quality was good.
I’d return if convenient, but not something I’d go out of my way for.

Good sized portion. I got the one entree plate with teriyaki chicken, salad and brown rice. They messed up on the salad (missing the dressing), but fixed it when I brought it to their attention. The chicken was ok but not spectacular.

I love this bakery & restaurant. I just did not like the macadamia pineapple dole whip once it got towards the bottom.

Parking spaces are tight and small. The vibe is ok. The food is delicious. Had the Miso Salmon and the Plantation Fried Chicken. Very tasty and worth trying. Lots of selections of dessert and Kings breads. The Hawaiian music tracks are… tacky Hawaiian. All in all was fun and enjoyable. Get the Chicken.
