Regal Bakery

Matcha Donut~ I’m always excited when it comes to green tea. I think I’ve had it all, but never as a donut. First off, the doughnut itself tasted of gingerbread, which I believe is the base of all their doughnuts. That wouldn’t have been an issue of the so-​called matcha colored icing had actually tasted like green tea. I could not taste it at all. Just tasted like icing. I was sad.
So the reason for three stars is my doughnut experience.
Nonetheless, I’ll give their baked good another try since I’ve heard good things.
As far as the food goes, the honey garlic chicken is a must-​try. I’ve had it more than once and this is the only place I know you can get it. It’s delicious. Go for that.

Get plenty reviews about their pastries but in case you don’t know already, their lunch plates are so ono it will not only broke your mouth it will broke your whole damn face. I ate their yesterday, I had the Mahi with garlic butter. The thing was loaded with onions and garlic and buttery goodness, came with Mac salad and plenty rice and tarter sauce. And the portions were big! That’s why I am writing this review the day afta because I stay eating the left overs right now and the thing still ono. Also my honey girl had the Roast Pork Plate and let me tell you that thing was good. Had gravy and mushrooms piled on top. So damn good. I think both plate were under 10 bucks. Because we had two plate lunch and two drinks and I handed the lady a $ 20 and I got some change back. Plus I got the big can of iced tea. I am so glad their are still places like this in Honolulu. Said in the news last night over 8 million people visited Hawaii last year. Those people don’t come here because we have choke high rises and mainland food chains and mainland stores. Those visitors come to experience Hawaii. Although you look at the 2 hour long wait and mass of people waiting outside cheesecake factory, it kind of makes you wonder. But I am telling you people if you want to experience some real local style plates got to go regels. Oh and be nice to Auntie behind the counter. Just cuz somebody get a different accent than yours doesn’t mean they deaf. No need yell or get loud to make someone understand. Auntie speaks English just fine and she knows you hungry and in a hurry. Anyway go check’em go check’ em go!

Took the mom for a quick lunch today and tried a 12 combo with hamburger steak and beef stew. Service was great. The lady was very thoughtful and friendly. Stew was pretty good. Mac salad was too mayonnaise y. The hamburger is what pushed it down to 3 stars. Bad grind of meat. All grissle and fat. I stopped eating it and threw it out. Place was clean and the doughnuts looked good. I will try again because of this and the good service.

I visited Regal Diner at McCully for the first time today to get a dozen donuts and the customer service I received was absolutely horrible. My sister and I were selecting our donuts and there wasn’t anyone in line behind us. The woman working got upset with us and was trying to rush us. When we had selected 10 donuts she said, «you know you still have two more left to choose right» in an extremely sassy voice. I would have appreciated a suggestion on which donuts she thought was good instead of that rude comment! There was still no one behind us but she continued to be rude. I will NOT be returning to Regal Bakery even though the donuts were good. The customer service was too off putting for me to ever return.

I’m going to have to give 3 stars, I like the food, I like how they have a huge variety of things on their menu but customer service is still part of the experience. I walked in today and the 2 girls behind the counter didn’t even greet me they just stood there talking to each other the whole time. After looking over the menu I went with the garlic chicken and fried rice. All she does is tell me the total nothing else. As I waited a few more people came in and the same thing they just talked to each other. When my food was ready she threw it on the counter and said my order. Than turned around and went to doing something else. I get that it isn’t a high end restaurant but they should be saying more than 3 words to their customers it makes me not want to go back by the way I was so dismissed. They made it seem like it was a problem that I was there giving them business!

It was disappointing.
Went in with high expectations from all the pictures and reviews.
The 3 donuts I ordered are very dry and doughy. Not the light fluffy donuts I had imagined.
The texture is similar to that of a dense cake, it crumbles easily. The only good donut I had was the Lemon Crumb but even that was dry.
I had to purchase a drink to wash it all down because it was THAT dry.
I didn’t finish any of them, so my dog did.

Was kind of sad that this day that we came in all the donuts were pretty much gone already. It was late afternoon. The ones we did get were alright. They looked amazing but were a bit dry.

Wow! Maple bacon donut! They put a ton of bacon on it & it’s amazing!!! Tried the muddy & crème brûlée donuts as well. Both soft & tasty, but the maple bacon?! The best! Pricey for donuts, but very good!

Just had the Crème Brulee donut, and Oh My Goodness! That is one mighty tasty donut! It is a nice little donut with a crunchy toffee top. Then they pour lovely thick crème on top and BAM! I love sweets. This is one of the best donuts I have ever had!

I only giving it 4 stars because the surrounding area is an industrial dump. The store itself and products are awesome. Quick friendly service. If I’m in this area again, inlay come back thru

Inside Regal Diner, Regal Bakery is a doughnut lovers paradise! Located in the McCully Shopping Center, parking is available right outside the shop or in the underground basement.
If you know me, doughnuts (especially ones covered in sprinkles, are the way to my heart. I love doughnuts and could probably eat them every day. With that said, one could say that I’m pretty knowledgeable in doughnuts ;)
I always like to come to regal Bakery to see what kinds of new flavors they have and to see what their flavor of the month is. I have to come sparingly because if I ate their doughnuts often, I would turn into a pig in no time.
My favorite flavors are: strawberry, oreo, red velvet, and green tea.
Their doughnuts are a little more drier and thicker if that makes sense. Not like the puffier wetter doughnuts like those you would get at Safeway, but these are a little smaller and the consistency is more of like a cake. Full of flavor and the toppings are just to die for. All are flavored appropriately and I think they aren’t too sweet nor to bland.
I went in on a Friday morning recently, the gentleman behind the counter was super efficient and got people’s orders out in no time. We were all helped in a prompt manner and he was multi tasking like crazy. Props to him.
I’ll always come here for a doughnut for myself or a half or full dozen for gifts. But don’t forget to come early, because they sell out fast!

Suddenly craving bread, for some reason we ended up at a donut place. It’s a really small shop. The donuts always run out when I’m there. It’s quite obvious that the one in chinatown looks way nicer and bigger.
Anyways, looking at the donuts display case, we targeted the strawberry sprinkled donut with a chocolate covered strawberry on top. Looks good… doesn’t taste amazing like I would imagine. I think I need to cut my wild imagination out. It was sweet! Hella sweet. But yes it’s expected. It tasted like a regular donut you can buy at Safeway for half the price I paid. $ 3 for that was so not worth it. So poopy.

Went in late morning to get a few donuts before class with my boyfriend and still had an awesome selection to pick from. They must be having a special this month because there donuts were $ 1.10 for the top two rows ! Or is always that cheap? I remember paying more before. Anyways, I ended up snagging 4 donuts for $ 4 and some change. The actual store itself is a small decent size.
The major thumbs down I give it is the first impression customer service. We walked in and the guy behind the counter gave us a hi but never looked up from his phone. When I finally told him what I wanted it, it took him a few seconds to register that I was speaking to him. Must have been a really good conversation he was having. But after that he gave us pretty good service. Even after I changed my mind on a donut.
Taste of the donuts? Not bad. Not awesome or great. But good. My personal favorite was the powdered sugar, the rest just seemed a little yeasty to me. If that makes any sense? Either way I definitely recommend this donut shop ! It’s also a cute thing to do with kids, having them each choose one.

The bakery with the big sprinkled donut in the front. That is how I remember regal bakery.
I’ve visited this location many times in cravings for simple delicious donuts. In all my visits, it’s always a hit or miss. The consistency falls short because some days it’s soft and moist with the maple bacon (I like to get) complimenting it. However, on the worst days it’s completely dry, bland, and tasteless. So dry I literally need the help of water to down it.
All I can say is ‘eh’. Will I stop coming? Probably not because it’s situated in a close spot to my college. But I don’t think I’ll be so quick to recommend it if either.

I came here specifically for the donuts, and they were having a special! I was also on a donut binge!
The couples times I have tried this place out the donuts were OKAY, I guess it is better on certain days, but the time I DO come here the donuts seems so DRY and nothing worth tasting regardless of the flavor they have.
I literally tried each donut! The glaze, the maple walnut, green tea, cinnamon sugar –just to name a few, looks can be SO SO deceiving.
Parking is ridiculous since it is the McCully shopping center, not worth the time and donuts at all! I wish I could say great things but the donuts were something I was looking forward to and just didn’t enjoy it as much as I wanted to.
Seriously disappointed. I need someone to lead me to an amazing place that sells THEE best donuts ever. Sadly, this is not it.

Having a meeting with my contractors this morning, I decided to stop by Regal Bakery to bring them a little extra motivation. For once, Mccully shopping center actually had available parking for me to fit my truck in. Walking in to the store (located next to curry house) you’ll be greeted by displays of baked goods, shelves of goodies and menus all over the walls. They seem to serve everything here from breakfast to chinese food to burgers and of course, cakes and donuts.
I picked out a bunch of stuff for all of us to share and the ones I got the chance to try were buttermilk, almond, maple bacon and their special, pumpkin spice. I didn’t much care for either the buttermilk or the almond. The pumpkin spice was above average, although still nothing special. The maple bacon, however, was delicious. A lot of bakeries try to incorporate bacon into their items and I feel that often times this strategy fails because they will use low quality bacon or they will fry it too crispy or just let it get overpowered by too much dough in the rest of the item. Here they used really thick chunks of bacon, almost cube-​like pieces, and they were all perfectly soft and chewy. The donut portion itself was very light and airy, which was great because all of the other donuts were very bready and heavy which is part of why I didn’t like them as much.
Overall, the maple bacon donut was the best item by far. I’d likely skip on the rest and just stick to that in the future. I’m not sure how their breakfast/​chinese/​burgers are, but so far I think this place is «A-​OK».

If your going to be open till 2100 and serve donuts, make them good.
No coffee!!! Why advertise it?

I was lured into Regal Bakery by the bountiful selection of fancy, flavored donuts – Maple Bacon, Strawberry Oreo, Chocolate Coconut, Boston Cream, Mint Chocolate, Blueberry Lemon, Rocky Road, Green Tea, and on and on. Regal makes both cake donuts and yeast donuts, as well as scones and other treats. (They also have a full restaurant menu, including a cheap breakfast, but I have only tried their bakery items.)
Unfortunately, their pastries often sound or look better than they taste. The pastries have distinct flavors, but they’re all pretty sweet. My biggest criticism, is the texture of the cake donuts. Regal uses the same cake donut as the base for all their flavors, and I think it’s dense and dry. The texture of the yeast donut is a bit better, it’s moister and chewy, and the scones are on the biscuity side of the range of scone textures.
If you want to check them out, here’s a tip: Regal will discount the baked goods at the end of the day, but only buy what you plan to eat right away because they won’t be the same the next day.

They have an amazing variety of donuts here. The location seems a bit small however to be a bakery and a diner. My friends and I stood in line and while one of the ladies helping us seemed friendly and helpful, the other one was very nearly rude. She didn’t smile, she didn’t suggest anything, and seemed as if she was angry that anyone was there.
But as for those variety if donuts I would go back again. The oddest one we tried was the maple bacon — it was good and almost too sweet. In fact, majority of those donuts are over powerfully sweet, so prepare for water and/​or milk.
The parking can be a bit difficult since they’re located in McCully shopping center, just depends on the time you’re there.
But it is worth a try. They have anything from glazed to sugar to cinnamon strusel to crème brûlée to a maple bacon to gingerbread donuts to nearly anything you can imagine.

Cute little donut shop strategically situated next to a 7 – 11 (for that quick musubi fix duh).
They have all your standard donut options plus a few more contemporary donuts like the green tea, maple bacon, oreo. Mostly all cake/​traditional style, which by the way, I’m not generally a fan of.
Forget all that though. It’s all about the crème brûlée donut. Even the maple bacon donut pales in comparison to the crème brûlée donut. Rich creamy filling and a crispy, sugary torched crust!!! Delish. In fact so delish, I had it two more times.
Almost forgot they serve hot food for cheap too. OH ANNDD they make some pretty good shrimp chips, large baggied for 2.99.
Great little find. Even greater that they know how to make a bomb donut.
