Breakfast Burrito
Seriously, my favorite breakfast burrito. It sounds odd but it's the most delicious thing ever!
Hawaiian Paradise
Travel far for this cake!
Teriyaki Chicken Sandwich
The food here is always tasty. From the teriyaki chicken sandwich to the salads, and you cannot and I mean cannot forget their bakery items. It's not just the food that is fantastic, it's also the employees. They are always friendly, even when things are crazy busy there. I say your next meal should come from here. Go now! Those bakery items go fast.
Hawaiian Paradise
I love Love LOVE this cake and it is the greatest tasting thing ever!!!!!!!! I crave for it all the time now. Now I won't have the problem of finding the best cake for future birthdays and my future wedding cake! Yeppieeeeeee!!!
Macadamia Nut Cream Pie
The macadamia nut creampie was delicious ,the Bavarian cream made it rich but not too sweet
Paradise Cheesecake
So delicious and topped with flavor fresh fruits rich slice of paradise in your mouth. Will definitely order again!
Hawaiian Paradise
AMAZING cake. I have it for my birthday every year. Its a light sponge cake with whipped cream frosting vs a heavy frosting.
Loco Moco
It was great tasting, I was imaging to be in the Island but here Local in the States....
Loco Moco
Excellent loco moco as usual. Great service by the Local Place crew.
Chicken Katsu
Very good, tasty and breading was just right. Unfortunately we did not get any katsu sauce for the chicken.
Fried Noodles
It's hard for me to order anything else because the fried saimin with vegetables is soooo good! We live over 70 miles away, so coming here is a treat and there's nowhere near us that makes this dish. That plus a sliced of the Haupia or Paradise cake is the perfect meal.
Kalua Pork
Hands down the best kalua around here! Consistently good, tasty and freshly made. I can make 2 meals out of this, for me, as i eat a lot of rice with it. Recommended.
Breakfast Burrito
I worked around the corner and would stop by for a burrito and coffee in the mornings. I work a lot further now and I still make the effort to drive over and get a burrito with spam from time to time. Once you have a spam breakfast burrito you will understand why everyone loves them!!
Breakfast Loco Moco
I like both places. I like the Local Place because I live in North Torrance and it's a nice and close place for breakfast. I like King's Hawaiian if I'm going for Sunday dinner with my family and in-laws. I really like both places bakery selections. The people who work there are always nice and friendly.
Paradise Delight
This is the most delicious thing ever!! All time favorite dessert and I highly recommend! It was very soft and fluffy. Perfect for the whole family
Paradise Cheesecake
delicious cake and also fresh always good to enjoy
Breakfast Sandwich
The best breakfast sandwich I've ever had! It's so good I can't have just one. Everything I've tried from their menu is delicious but this might be my favorite.
Oxtail Soup
is realy good
Lau Lau, Kalua Pork, Lomi Salmon
I usually go to the Torrance place for dinner after Red Cross platelets donation but I start going to the Local Place in Gardena to pick up the take-outs because of COVID-19 and it is closer to me. The food quality of both places are good and consistent I have to cut down on the bakeries due to my age that I have to watch out my blood sugar. To resist the temptation of their bakeries is hard!
Mochi Donuts
Mochi donuts were scrumptious! I prefer those to regular donuts which are too sweet.
Hawaiian Paradise
Mucho Aloha in every bite! Awesome as per usual 🤙🏻 Mahalo
Hawaiian Paradise

Hawaiian Paradise
First time
Miso Salmon with Spicy Mayo and Vegetables
Excellent dish! I do not usually like spicy dishes but the mayo on the side really puts the flavor over the top. Dish would not be the same without it! Never disappointed!! Consistently good. Yum!!
Dobash
Love, love this cake! A friend brought it up to a party in San Francisco and I fell in love. I am making a tradition of picking one up when I drive home from Palm a Springs to San Francisco. The first time was last year and more recently, yesterday! It will be a time honored tradition!
Chicken Katsu Curry
The Katsu was absolutely amazing. What surprised me was their fried rice: it was so flavorful and packed with toppings. We had a phone order and it was ready when I arrived. Definitely will be back!
Miso Salmon with Spicy Mayo and Vegetables
The best dish ever!! Spicy mayo and veggies compliment the salmon perfectly. It is so addicting. No lemon or lime required. Just an extra side of the spicy mayo, please....
Chicken Katsu
The chicken katsu is just the right amount of flaky and tender at the same time. Goes well with any side dish and is very warm and tastes better than other chicken steak out there Love the golden crunch to this fun comfort food.
Loco Moco
This is one of the BEST loco moco's I've ever had! Double awesome that this is a historical place and a sense of pride for someone living in Torrance as many people consider this place one of Torrance's special, historical places! Keep doing what you are doing and we appreciate all that you do! Thank you!!!
Breakfast Burrito
Love their breakfast burritos! Everyone in my family orders one when we go. My favorite is with spam.
Oxtail Soup
My favorite dish at local place, best of all other Hawaii restaurants locally.
Miso Salmon with Spicy Mayo and Vegetables
