The Local Place Bakery and Cafe

ordered pretzel chicken sliders. served with uncooked chicken, then showed the kitchen to confirm if it was cooked and they confirmed it was not cooked. served me another plate for the mistake, i received it slightly more cooked than the first time but still needed more time for the chicken to turn white inside. don’t come here !! why are they rushing to bring out the chicken fast? leaving it uncooked both times

Very forgettable place!
Food was just about average, so was everything else.

Very clean. Amazing food. Try the paradise cake.

I love this bakery & restaurant. I just did not like the macadamia pineapple dole whip once it got towards the bottom. 😵‍💫

King's Hawaiian is local staple in the South Bay. I grew up having their wonderful Paradise Cakes for special occasions and the taste always reminds me of sunny summer birthdays.

My favorites treats include the sweet rolls, rainbow bread slices, guava cake, and paradise cake. They also have wonderful pies, crinkle cookies, fruit tarts, and pineapple dole whip. They also have a large savory menu that is worth a try.

Definitely worth a detour and visit!

Usually eat at the main restaurant in Torrance. This time i tried The local place thinking I’m goung to get the same saimin. $8.65 on the board but charged $11. Broth and noodles were ok. Bit the scrambled egg tastes like it was cooked last week(chewy), no kamaboko, the char siu crumbles when chewed as if it was old. Very disappointed. Not coming back or recommending. Saimin is so easy to put together but still messed it up☹️

Good sized portion. I got the one entree plate with teriyaki chicken, salad and brown rice. They messed up on the salad (missing the dressing), but fixed it when I brought it to their attention. The chicken was ok but not spectacular.

I have had really good pork sliders catered so many times from here.
I was craving them this evening, saw some amazing photos online, and decided to go and grab some. I arrived and they didn't have them. So I decided to get some spam musubi. They were microwaved and dry. I got a dole whip and the center was hollow, there was no syrup in it like there was in the images on yelp. I was really disappointed. Oh and they were out of lilikoi also. Man what a bummer deal.

First time here. I bought the grilled chickens the fruit mini parfait cup. Total was 15.67
The chicken teriyaki sandwich came with no teriyaki sauce. An employee named lamar was getting water. I asked for a water cup. she got the cup of water for me strangely, but thank you. Rayu, the employee who took my order and gave me my food, he needed to go home he working sick and sneezing. I asked for an extra teriyaki sauce, and he said it would be an extra charge. Luckily, I checked my food and planned on doing a review for my first-time food location. Walked in, and I think his name was Scott gave me some sauce. It was not none on my food. Sandwich ok

Happened to be in Torrance to do some shopping. Got a taste for the Hawaiian Local Bakery & Cafe and was hungry, too! I got their Hawaiian Plantation Chicken plate and my sister got their Beef Stew plate. Oh my was it delicious 😋 and really hit the spot! The rice and macaroni salad were perfectly made and so yummy. Ate so much and did not even have room for their deserts 🍰. Going to have take some home for later.
