No chili plates either.
Hawaiian kine food only on weekends at the one by me and they got poi, but first come, first serve on that.

I go to the one in Little Tokyo quite a bit. Great store !
I wonder why you'd need a membership anyway.
Ate at King Hawaiian in Torrance before, not bad. Have yet to try their smaller cafe on Western.

Re: King's Hawaiian
Originally posted by modpirate View Postoh man, I finally got myself down to King's Hawaiian Bakery and Restaurant in Torrance, and it was exactly the fix I needed. It wasn't the best Hawaiian food, but then I'm easy to please. In Honolulu I used to get my fix at the Poi Bowl in Ala Moana, that's how easy to please I am.
Anyway, the one thing I really missed was poi. I had kalua pig with rice and lomi salmon, but I had forgotten how fatty the pork could be. It really needed the acidity of poi to cut the greasyness. But since it sounds like you can't even get poi in Hawaii anymore, I guess finding it on the mainland is out of the question.
So, yeah.
If you like a quick fix also try King's Hawaiian "Local Place," located off the 405 frwy. They have the bakery and take out menu, and daily specials. They even have oxtail soup on Sundays.

Re: King's Hawaiian
Don't know about Costa Mesa, but when I used to visit the Gardena store, you needed a membership.
I found this pretty quick via a Google search.

Are you sure you need a membership there ?

And yes, I've eaten at King's Hawaiian a number of times. And I grew up eating at King's Bakery.

Originally posted by tikiyaki View PostY'know...I've been wanting to go to Kings for a while now, but have still yet to. Is it worth the drive ? I live about a good 45 min from there, but I don't mind driving. How's the inside of the place? Island Style?
I know the sweet bread is good.
