First opened in 1947 by the Philippines-born Francis Cabang and his partner Harold “Hal” Hanna, The Royal Hawaiian has been an important hangout for decades. Everyone has a story of our establishment that put the lapu lapus on the map.
Nestled in beautiful Laguna Beach, The Royal Hawaiian fits its perfect setting!
Influenced from traditional Hawaiian culture as well as Korean, Filipino, Japanese and more!
The Royal Hawaiian has been painstakingly reconstructed, inch by inch. Hand built, and custom pieces throughout, the inspiration was the glory days of Francis’ Cabang’s restaurant and bringing you back in time.
A beautiful, relaxing environment the perfect modern feel for a paint and sip event!
