King’s Hawaiian Bakery: A Taste of Aloha in Every Bite

I only checked out the baked goods. It was busy! Busy enough you have to pull a number at the baked goods counter, but the waitbwas short. Haven't tried the desserts yet, but my eye was drawn to the haupia mocha cake, banana pie, key lime pie, a triple chocolate cupcake, and I can vouch that the walnut brownie is pretty good. The prices were only $4 per dessert for most things. The vibe was kinda like a Hawaiian version of Cracker Barrel in the sense it has a mini store and a restaurant. I'd love to check out the restaurant side sometime. Apparently they even do wedding cakes.

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!!

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).

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.

Cool place to eat all the Hawaiian favorites are available. They also have a full bakery with more stuff than you could ever imagine. If you're looking for good food at a decent price and a dessert that is to die for definitely check this place out!!

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.

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

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.
