Reviews for King's Hawaiian The Local Place Bakery & Cafe in Gardena, CA

The people who work there are great. Really friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Great decor and atmosphere. We came here... because of the great reviews and unfortunately felt underwhelmed. The dried noodles were straight up soy sauce--no umami orsweet Hawaii ???? flavors--just straight bitter Kikkoman. Spam musubi is ok because there was no flavor on the spam. Just driedout rice that's wrapped with old seaweed. Teriyaki bowl was dry, but tolerable. The mochi donut was decent, especially the maple???? flavored one. Read more

Effortlessly delicious. The loco moco here is such a star, even with its simple construction: rice, beef patty, eggs, gravy.... You don't need much for a great meal, but because of that, each part needs to be done well. The rice was cooked where you canfeel each grain, the eggs and patties were cooked well, and the gravy tied it all together. Oh yeah, they have other foodshere, like the breakfast set, guava lemonade, and an array of baked goods. I can't wait to come back! Parking wasn't bad at10AM. Plenty of street parking if needed.

5 stars just for the Paradise cake! My in laws used to bring us a paradise cake whenever they visited for one of the kids... birthdays since they lived in Torrance and we lived all the way in Temecula. Now they moved to the Philippines and we moved toAlabama so obviously on my birthday when we came to visit CA I had to get my paradise cake and I wasn't disappointed. Sostinking good. The food was ok. I love katsu so I enjoyed my meal. Although I did tell them I wanted the BBQ chicken and theycame out with the katsu. I liked my ramen salad a lot! Makes me want to make it at home now. Read more

This was a really cool place I had the pleasure of visiting. What a pleasantly unique place to grab quality delicious food... with an amazing tempting display of bakery cakes, pastries , donuts and the like, yet they have healthy delicious meals, andnot so healthy choices like I chose. I had a bacon Angus cheese burger and fries. Very quality in flavor and texture. Bought ahawaiian pastry rolls package and was given some of their sweet dinner rolls. What a delicious treat. I think there's somethingfor everyone here. Great atmosphere and really cool round tropical fish aquarium inside and nice large windows and open spacing.I highly recommend these folks! Read more

This place is amazingly good, on this particular trip we picked up desserts. All their baked goods are amazing. They have plenty... of fresh items to choose from as well as bagged items. Parking is pretty small in this location, and the dine area is very smallas well. So I seriously recommend either get there early or plan on taking out. Either way this place is great. Read more

Nestled in next to the King?s Hawaiian Bakery is a little counter-service restaurant and bakery. The staff was warm and... friendly and patient with our ?first time here need to absorb the entire menu before making a decision? status. Things of note- once getting wrapped up in the menu we forgot that the Hawaiian rolls were the draw. We should have ordered sandwichesinstead of plates to achieve the experience. The fried rice was different than any I?ve experienced- pretty sure there was Spamin it but since I haven?t had spam since childhood I?m not sure. French fries should have been cooked more. I should haveasked if there was a breast meat option for the chicken. Water is only available by purchase. The desserts were delicious witha wide variety. There is also a stand with packaged rolls and treats to take home. Read more
