Aunty Maile’s Hawaiian Restaurant: Authentic Hawaiian Cuisine in Torrance

Brought my Ohana to this place that was recommended to me by a co-worker. Drove about 1.5hrs to get there with L.A. traffic. The food DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! Auntie Maile's is serving up some onolicious grinds straight from the Islands. The place was busy only because the food was the real deal. The Service was very good, You could feel the Aloha spirit!! I ordered the Katsu Chicken plate and the Fam ordered Terry Chicken plate, Katsu Bento Box, Roasted Pork, Shrimp Plate. Everything was cooked with love to perfection. They even had a local band playing music that set You at ease. Thank You Aunty Maile's for bringing the taste of Hawaii in the L.A. area. Love You Guys!!

On a quick day trip to LA, I wanted to grab a quick breakfast not too far from LAX. I saw something on YouTube about this place so I figured I’d give it a try. Walking in I was immediately greeted and told what the day’s specials are. I read through the menu and decided to try the Roast Pork Loco Moco. After sitting down i waited a few minutes when a huge food container was placed in front of me. I opened up what could easily be the food equivalent to Lunesta! This dish was soaked in gravy with the egg on top of a huge piece of roast pork. Each bite was delicious and the gravy (which is house made) was fantastic! I got about 2/3’s in and I literally couldn’t cram another bite into my mouth. As for the restaurant, it’s a no-frills type of place that serves up great dishes and sells products from Hawaii. Service wise, amazing! The gentleman at the counter was friendly and checked in to see if I hadn’t passed out a couple times. If you’re in the neighborhood looking for some Hawaiian Grindz, make this your stop!

This was the highlight of my trip to California. The local Hawaiian music was outstanding! The male and female dancers from the audience performing hula were outstanding! It was a heartwarming experience and worth the long drive to see it. By the way, the food was excellent and the staff brimmed over with genuine Aloha.

The way the place looks is very beautiful inside and outside and the food taste amazing. The only thing that kinda got me was the max salad for me. It was too much black pepper. I prefer the Ono Mac but honestly, I can deal with it because the food is amazing. Grabbed the Furikake which is seaweed taste, but tastes amazing, and the Korean chicken was very good also the beef teriyaki was very tender and flavorful also, they had very good customer service would recommend

2nd time coming here and loving it even more then the first time. There's always parking in the shopping plaza but both times I've came, once on a weekday and this time on a Saturday, the restaurant is packed. The only difference is on weekends, they apparently have bands playing and hula dancing as well. The Kalbi short ribs is def our favorite here and the macaroni salad and rice that comes with it pairs perfectly with it. We also tried the teriyaki chicken and poki avo style. Both are delicious! The teriyaki flavor is just right and chicken is soft. The tuna taste fresh and it's soft but next time I'd ask for less soy sauce as it was a bit too salty for me to eat it plain without rice. But that's personal preference so no complaints here. Overall: we love the service here and food is great for the price they charge. And judging by the amount of people that comes, everyone feels the same way. This is def our go to place when we're craving for Hawaiian food!

3 or 4 Stars Food: I’m a huge fan of Hawaiian ribs, so I was excited for these. While the texture was actually spot on, the meat itself had a distinct "refrigerator" or previously frozen taste, rather than being fresh. There was also a bit too much gristle for my liking. Service: The service, however, was 5-star! Our waiter was incredibly friendly and made sure our waters were constantly topped off. Atmosphere: As an out-of-state visitor, it was such a treat to eat under the California palm trees. LA is massive, but this was a beautiful spot to enjoy the scenery.

Auntie Molly’s Saigon Hawaiian breakfast is my go-to order — it’s absolutely delicious. Who wouldn’t want noodles for breakfast? The eggs and sautéed vegetables are especially flavorful and always cooked perfectly. I still need to explore more of the menu, but everything I’ve tried so far has been satisfying. Their desserts are also a highlight, particularly the coconut cream dessert (I can’t recall the Hawaiian name, but it’s fantastic). The only downside is that meals are served in to-go containers, even when dining in. It takes away slightly from the overall experience. Still, the food itself keeps me coming back. I’d confidently give it 4 out of 5 stars.

Great food, great menu and local! Very good Hawaiian food. I had kalua pork and shrimp and the pork was amazing. Friends had teriyaki chicken and poke bowl, and I would definitely try the poke bowl next time. Restaurant was busy at lunch which I take as a good sign.
