Place is as legit as it gets. If you want authentic Hawaiian food, get the lau lau, Kailua pig combo or the Loco Moco. And while you're there, get a spam musubi to go! Get a Hawaiian sun drink. Boom!

Try the original Royale-fried rice with egg, Portuguese sausage and char siu (Chinese BBQ pork). If you have a sweet tooth the King's Hawaiian bread French toast is amazing. Ask for the coconut syrup.

The boneless short ribs. I'm not a big fan of beef but I make a huge exception for these!! They melt in your mouth. Combined with some rice, hot Sauce and mac salad it's heaven.

Low key, open early, kid friendly! Big portions

Best Hawaiian. The Royal has sausage, pork & eggs, bean sprouts over rice, soooo good.

Coconut syrup is a must on French toast or pancakes and the spam fried rice royale is INCREDIBLE!

Real Hawaiian food in the heart of LA! Get one of the Royales -- great value and so delicious!
Andrew BellFebruary 19, 2013
If it's your first time here definitely try the Hawaiian Royale. Load it up with the teriyaki sauce and it's scrumptious.

If you are super hungry get the beef stew!!! Healthy portion comes woh rice and roast potatoes. This lasts me 3 meals.

Paul Wahba purchased the restaurant in 2000 and relocated to a larger space with more catering capabilities to start 2017.

Love this place, but its time to renovate to make it bigger or find a new location. Always, always a wait. And please print to-go menus. :)

Watching your carbs? Get one of the Royales Atkin's style - bean sprouts instead of rice!
Leonardo HNovember 24, 2012
Don't wear your skinny jeans here. I keep forgetting how much rice they pile onto the royals. Keep that rooster sauce close!
Anthony NudoJune 24, 2011
