Kings Hawaiian was actually originated In Hilo Hawaii it was called Kings bakery. I remember going there as a kid. Great memories.

[@Bens_Tunes50]

'Hellllo" ! i said to a work colleague today when i came back from Long Service Leave today and they said it back haha :) it's catching on Lisa !

[@kylerdad123]

Thanks for reminding me of the days of Kings Bakery when it was located in Honolulu. I still have fond memories of the original bakery located at King and McCully Street in Honolulu - you can probably see a photo of the original location in Torrance. The soup is looking great - must have paired well with a buttered Hawaiian Sweet roll. This is making me consider driving down to Torrance from San Jose soon - LOL. Hope you took home some of the round loafs of Hawaiian sweet bread, which was the original-style of their bread. Wishing you both another delicious review soon. Much aloha and 🧧! 🤙

[@billandlisa]

Hi Bill! Yes, the original location photo is up on the wall in the restaurant. We didn't pick up any bread this trip, but is readily available to us whenever we crave it. Aloha!

[@kylerdad123]

@@billandlisa Keep-up the great reviews. Looking forward to seeing you enjoy some oxtail saimin on the next Kings Bakery review. I saw some guava cakes which looked yummy, also; however, all the “Goodies” were yummy at Kings. Best wishes, great regards and cheers to you and ohana! 🧧

Hello Bill and Lisa! Sinful stroll down the baked goods…I want to make a trip for the fruit tart and the oxtail soup! Thank you for sharing! Thanks Christopher for filming! Definitely going for Ahi😊! Have a great week everyone…

[@billandlisa]

We've had their fruit tart, it's excellent! Have a great week!

[@bballerforever]

Cinnamon Pullapart Bread - fry in butter, oh my! I’ve been to the smaller King’s on Western Blvd. more than the main restaurant on Sepulveda. Didn’t know they had such a wide variety of baked goods and other desserts - will need to hit it up next time I’m in the South Bay. (Have you visited a Porto’s Bakery & Cafe? It’s a must whenever I’m in SoCal, often twice a day. Luv the cheese rolls, coconut strudel, breakfast wrap, and the awesome Parisian Chocolate Cake.)

[@billandlisa]

We love Porto’s! Here’s a video we did a while back.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aorOqYWNnJqXrcUsi=zXusWFBzsHJO9cyr

[@banjochris]

Been to Kings a million times and love it - have you tried Back Home in Lahaina up in Carson? Highly recommend it! Bakery is no comparison to Kings but the food is great.

[@billandlisa]

Been a while since we last visited there.

[@michellel3596]

Hi Bill and Lisa, we tried this place last week and really enjoyed it! Not sure if you’ve ever tried Island Sushi and Grill on Eastern/215 in Vegas, but their oxtail soup was awesome - according to my mom and husband. You should try the malasadas too! Hope you enjoy it soon 😊. Happy Halloween 🎃

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the oxtail soup rec, Michelle!

[@ceebee8042]

Kahlua pork nachos? No salsa? Ok, Teri sauce looks great. That seafood platter with those onion rings look fantastic!

[@billandlisa]

We'd imagine you can ask for salsa, they serve it with their breakfast burrito (which is amazing!).

[@AbuelaYOYo1955]

I love oxtails and gnawing on the bones! Great call Lisa! 🤩🤩🤩🤤🤤🤤❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@billandlisa]

Thank you 😋

Awesome Video Bill & Lisa😊

[@billandlisa]

Thanks Christine!

[@mindysmom6132]

Hi Bill!! Hi Lisa!! We were just there a few weeks ago! I always have to have the ahi poke, but it has to be the pupu one, because I don’t care for the sriracha mayo sauce that they used to put on the dinner portion one. Oh Lisa…..I love the oxtail soup, and will think of you and Bill and the comment Bill made, the next time I’m sucking the bone! 😂 The huli-huli chicken off the mix plate, the charsiu off the breakfast platter are some of our favs. Not to mention the lomi lomi salmon and the chicken long rice. OMGEEE! I want to go back now! Thank you for showing the pupu platter, because I have always wanted to try it, but never have. Now I will! Those kalua pork nachos looked amazing, and I love that the crunch was still on the chip, when Bill took the bite. I’m with you both, the paradise cake is a family fav, as is the chocolate haupia pie. Have you tried that yet? You’re both so lucky to live nearby. The South Bay has all of the yummy places to eat. After we moved to LA, back in the late 70’s, Sakai Sushi in Gardena, quickly became the place for my parents to drive to for sushi to take to picnics and BBQs. Thank you both for sharing so many delicious places with us! We are currently in Oregon visiting our son. As soon as we get home, I’m heading to King’s Hawaiian! 🥰 Take care!

[@billandlisa]

Hi Mary! Yes, love the chocolate haupia and can’t forget the chocolate dream too! Give those nachos a try next time, they’re amazing. Sakai isn’t too far from us either. We’ve gotten their California rolls for the plane ride, they’re perfect travel foods. 😋. You know Lisa loves her oxtails!! 🤣

[@billandlisa]

Oh yeah, stay tuned for PDX vlogs! 👍🏼

[@jc2333]

I’ve to go to young’s Hawaii bbq for katsu curry . The oxtail looks good. Locomotor looks good. That sucks you got jury duty.

So when you saw the mochi donuts you said “and of course mochi donuts” does that mean Hawaiians king bread is the original maker of mochi donuts?

Not the originators, but did get its start in Hawaii in the 90’s (according to Wiki lol).
