L & L Hawaiian Barbecue

I use to come to L&L as a kid before they moved locations, and then i found out that they just moved down the street so i thought to go by and try it again. It was just as i remembered delicious. The service is fast which is great, and its cheap but you get a big portion. Ive come back twice now and its been consistent. My new favorite place to eat out with my friends. I recommend the chicken katsu.

To me, menu is very confusing… even with pictures. With that said this is a fun place to eat at with their varitiy of choices. I do love the Spam Masubi, and Katsu Chicken. They owners and staff are very humble.

Ok I love me some Hawaiian BBQ and since this is the only place close I go here. I love the BBQ chicken, chicken katsu, and of corse the macaroni salad. The prices you can’t beat the amount of food is a lot and it’s always under $ 10 a person.
If I love this place why the 3 stars well if u eat inside the place is not clean, wobbly tables, chairs are broken and the soda machine always has about half the flavors out of order. Also the past few times I have been here I think I have gotten food poisoning I feel extremely sick and have thrown up.

Just got off work so I was hungry as hell. Always wanted to try this place, but never had time.
Read the other reviews and seen the lady owner everyone was talking about. She wasn’t so bad, she was nice, handed me my order when it was ready.
I had the chicken Katsu mini which was delicious. The Mac & cheese was surprisingly tasty as well. The rice was nice, fresh & sticky. Great price too.
I wouldn’t mind coming back.

This was our first and will be our ONLY visit here! Every Hawaiian restaurant we have been to has been super friendly, and made you feel like they were welcoming you into their home. This place was beyond rude! The older man, maybe owner, was the one who took our order was so rude! The hours posted on the front door said they close at 9pm and we arrived at 8:30. I was trying to decide what to order and was being stared down by the guy waiting to place our order. So, we told him we were sorry but it’s our first visit. He really didn’t care and acted like we were an annoyance. We were asked if it was to go or dine in and once we said dine in he rudely said they close at 9 and that is in 30 min! Once we picked our food up from the counter and sat down to eat the food looked NOTHING like their photos and really wasn’t all that great especially for the horrible service! Save your money and the hassle, go elsewhere!

What can I say about this place? HORRIBLE service! We walked in at 830pm, 30 minutes before they closed and the man at the counter asked if we were eating in or taking to go. We said eating in. He not so kindly reminded us that they were closing in 30 minutes since we came in so close to closing time. A couple came in 10 minutes before they closed and he rudely told them that only to go orders are available since they are closing. This is probably the most rude Hawaiian restaurant I’ve ever been to. The usual inviting atmosphere of the Hawaiian restaurants I’ve been to before is totally missed here! Never going back here! If I could have given them zero for the awful treatment, I would!

I like this place as far as Hawaiian bbq goes. I like to get shrimp, but only a few places have a not heavily battered opion. They have a garlic shrimp plate that I always order. It comes with a good size portion of shrimp (maybr 8 – 10) and rice and macaroni salad. They also have a like lower carb plate with brown rice and veggies, nice to have options. My bf switches up what he orders, usually some seafood plate or chicken. Always hot and good, we enjoy it.

Every time I come here the lady who is the cashier or the owner whoever is ALWAYS rude. I try to give them chances but honestly I can’t put up with the lady in front. Food honestly is okay but wish their service was better!

Stop by for quick lunch today. Can’t go wrong with short ribs, Mac and of course brown rice (sumthin a little healthy) hahaha. Food came out hot. Had to order extra Mac as the lil portion inside container is not enough. Wanted to order a cheese burger too but I’m watching my figure. L&L hit tha spot today

Their Chicken katsu & BBQ chicken is really good. Affordable prices and fast service.

The asian lady here is always very friendly. I usually call in my order and pick up in 10 minutes.
We always order our fave: Chicken katsu and pulled pork.

This is one of the best Hawaiian barbecues ive ever had. The location is never crowded which is shocking because they make delicious food. The chicken katsu is good as well as the barbecue beef. They serve authentic Hawaiian food like Haupia and Lau Lau. I always get a Hawaiian Sun drink and they have many flavors to offer!
OVERALL LOVE IT. PLEASE GO

Fast, yummy, and always good no matter when I get L&L they are consistent with their meals. I never have a time where i say «it was better last time» the food is always the same which is great. Many restaurants fail in consistency with dishes and this place definitely isn’t one of them.

I just love the Macaroni Salad at this place. The food was good and I’ve eaten here twice. Delicious every time I came here. I will come here again in the future when I can. The flavors of this place isn’t very unique but is just pleasant and you won’t be disappointed with any of the meal choices presented when you walk in. A very quiet place to eat and enjoy.

I’d give it 5 stars, but they really reduced the spam content. Otherwise, service was alright, clean environment, great taste.

So I came here for my lunch cause it was the nearest place that I could find to crave my macaroni salad craving. The older lady does not have any customer service and had a tone like she didn’t want to be there. And she was giving me attitude. I’m giving it a 2 stars because yeah I got my cravings satisfied, but not in a professional manner.

Love their food and it’s always done so quickly. The only complaint is that no matter who takes my order they aren’t very nice. But I will always come back for their chicken katsu and spam masubi. They are both SO good!

I usually come here for the spam musubi but not as often as I would like because the elderly Asian lady that works there is SO RUDE! She has no manners and is very standoffish. She lacks customer service & does not work well with customers (from what I’ve seen.)
On the other hand the other younger Asian woman that works there is super nice! If it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t even come to this location.

You guys are SLEEPING on this place. Excellent Hawaiian food. I love the BBQ mix plate and you can easily feed 2 people with it for under $ 10! You can’t beat that with a stick! I love this place. Clean place. Nice service. Fair prices. Fresh too for a chain! I’m satisfied. :D

UPDATE…
So I’m still a fan no doubt, but I do have a couple things to talk about. This time I ordered the Regular Plate of Pork Lau Lau, Kailua Pork & a side of Kimchi (just had the craving)
Photo:
Pork Lau Lau — Still very good. Tender salty leaves on the outside and the pork was tender on the inside. The piece of pork I got inside this time just had a little bit of the fat on it. Just that little piece of fatty goodness.
Kalua Pork — The pork was very tender and the cabbage cooked perfectly. The cabbage even still had a little bite to it. It wasn’t soggy. Sometimes Kalua Pork can come out very dry and I hate dry Kalua Pork. I’ve had some bad DRY pork before. NO ONO!!! The only critique I have was the pork was a little bland. I don’t think it had enough smokey flavor and maybe needed a little more salt. Otherwise I still enjoyed it being so tender. Eating it with the Kimchi made it better.
Kimchi — It was great, but I wish they gave you more. It was a very small container, but I can see why it was only $ 0.95. I wish they had a larger option available for people like me that like Kimchi.
Service has never been a problem for me here. I always seem to get this one older gentleman who is very nice. I usually stick to my basics of Chicken Katsu, the cutlet or the pork dishes. I’ve seen some complaints about their BBQ plates, but I had a bad experience with their BBQ plates in the past & I just stick to the other things like Loco Moco and all that… Come to think of it, I still need to try their Loco Moco.
Eat it… Love it… Unilocal it!!!
