King's Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant

"Transport your taste buds straight to Hawaii with just one bite of the ever-popular Paradise Cake. It’s a three-layered triple threat of guava-, passion fruit-, and lime-flavored cake with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, and peach filling interspersed between plush chiffon. Fruity glazes echoing the three primary flavors add the finishing touches. — Cathy Chaplin, senior editor" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff

"The aloha spirit permeates the entire operation at King’s Hawaiian Bakery & Restaurant. Tables filled with multi-generational families are a common sight, where kids can’t resist the all-day breakfast, Spam musubi, beef galbi, and chicken katsu. Make sure to save room at the end of the meal for a slice of cake or a doughnut from the bakery." - Eater Staff

"Your family might be happy if you just brought a bag of sweet rolls to dinner (or showed up on time for once), but you can also stop by the King’s Hawaiian restaurant and bakery in Torrance for unique pies, including chocolate haupia, apple, custard, key lime, and banana mac berry, as well as fresh fruit tarts and cakes. Pickup orders must be placed at least 24 hours in advance, online or over the phone. " - sylvio martins

"King’s Hawaiian Bakery doesn’t just make the grocery store rolls we’ve been devouring at cookouts since we were kids, they’ve also got a restaurant in Torrance with pretty forgettable food. But the restaurant isn’t why you’re here – the bakery up front serves a huge variety of excellent, mostly Hawaiian pastries. The almond stars are good, and the malasadas are the biggest, fluffiest donut holes you’ll ever eat. You’ll get them to go, but probably spend a few minutes on the patio eating one by yourself before you take them back to the office. " - Nikko Duren, Garrett Snyder
