L & L Hawaiian Barbecue

Great fast Hawaiian food. Lots of choices and most of them taste great. We love getting it to go. Fast and convenient.

Such good chicken saimin! Very flavorful and less than $ 5!

Food on the menu is great. I’ve been back twice and had the chicken katsu and BBQ mix plate. The portions are awesome and fit the price perfectly. I always have food to go home. The spam musubi was really good as well. Everyone I take here loves it and I’ll definitely be back for more.

Ordered the Hawaiian combo with Lau Lau and hoped they can’t mess up that, knowing they don’t make that from scratch and know it’s shipped from Hawaii. Wrong! Even that was like eating something that sat out on a buffet longer than the allotted and health code time. There are other places in town to get better «Hawaiian» food. Too bad this franchise doesn’t correct the wrongs that other L&L’s are doing to make them look bad as a company! Keep the menu simple and don’t over sauce and drench everything with «Teriyaki» flavored sauces. No I don’t go to a Hawaiian fast food to get Chinese food either!

Not my fave place for Hawaiian food/​Asian foods. It’s ok. Large enough portions and the flavors are ok. I feel like this food is really heavy and it feels like a brick in my stomach.

Meh. It’s the Olive Garden of Hawaiian food. There are better Hawaiian joints in North Las Vegas and Henderson, but if you’re desperate and want an okay plate, L&L will do.
Otherwise, look elsewhere on Unilocal for better recommendations.

I’ve only ever been to this place once in high school 8 years ago, but I remember it being a lot better than when I went last weekend.
The place seemed DIRTY. They still had their Christmas decorations up, which is fine, I love Christmas too, but I just couldn’t stop thinking about all the dust that’s accumulated on top of there. Also, don’t use their bathrooms. You’ve been warned.
I got the loco moco, which is the safest excuse for a loco moco. They used something that’s comparable (maybe a bit grosser than) to McDonald’s hamburger patties. And the gravy they used tasted like turkey gravy out of a can. Oh and their rice seemed like it had been sitting in the rice cooker all day (we went for an early lunch around 11).
I was going to say I’d go back if I was starving and too lazy to cook, but id rather not eat than go there.
Two stars because the lady at the cashier was nice.

I’ve never been a huge fan of L&L, but they get you by in a pinch when you’re craving Hawaiian food.
On a recent visit for lunch my fella and I found ourselves at L&L and decided to share two plates. We went with the garlic chicken and the kalbi. Service was decent and our meals were brought out to us quickly despite being pretty busy during the lunch rush.
The garlic chicken was intensely garlicky. Dare I say too garlicky and the kalbi was overcooked and dry. I didn’t love anything I ate here.
The shop is pretty small but there are a decent amount of tables inside.
I’m not in any hurry to come back, but like I said, it’s convenient when the mood strikes.

I was just eating at this location and I found a band aid in my food. I immediately took it back and they just looked around and passed it from person to person. Their solution was to offer me more food which I did not want. I reported them immediately to the health district and demanded my money back. I will never eat at an L & L again.

1. Not consistent with other L&L’s
2. WORST customer service experience.
3. If YOUR soda machine is not working properly, do NOT make your customers do your job of pressing, holding the lever for the CO2 to start flowing. Are you nuts?!
Our nephews were in from town and they wanted loco moco’s so they decided that they wanted to eat it at L&L.
We usually get the healthy plate which is salad, scoop of brown rice and shrimp. Well the L&L that we used to go to (on the east side) had this dressing that was DEEEEElicious. This place only had ranch, bleh.
The gal behind the counter, name was Looy, Loopy, fuck if I know. She was horrible and needs to have a lesson or 10 in proper, friendly customer service.. She was rude, made it seem as though it was not her problem to handle to soda machine issue and any time you ask her a question, it was as though you were interrupting her social media time on her phone since that seemed to be the only thing that the girl did.
The food was mediocre at best. Nothing consistent or anything that wowed us. Our nephews are from Chicago so they haven’t been exposed to too many Hawaiian restaurants. For their next visit, we’re going to take them to another L&L and avoid this place. Like the plague. Like a big piece of poop that it is.

While returning from a recent trip to Hawaii, my husband and I saw an ad in the in-​flight magazine for the ramen burger at L&L. We were intrigued, so I HAD to stop to try one when I passed the local L&L here in Vegas.
I’ve eaten at L&L before, but I’ve never had their burger, let alone their ramen burger. The burger itself was a pleasant surprise. Not sure if it had loco moco gravy on it or something else, but there was a tasty sauce that was pretty addictive. The meat was sandwiched between two huge fried ramen patties, which took the role of the bun. This is a pretty ingenious idea, but it didn’t quite work because the ratio was off. If each patty were half its size, it would have been a lot better, but there was way too much ramen in relation to the meat.
So the ramen burger was a one-​trick pony, but what about the other food at L&L? As I said, on this visit, I only had the burger (which I brought home to share with my spouse). But they offer a slew of other Hawaiian favorites, like short ribs, saimin, and chicken katsu. I like their Spam musubi, and I think next time I’ll get the loco moco (double rice, no mac salad) because that was some good brown gravy.
If you’re missing Hawaii and find yourself here on the Ninth Island, L&L offers a little taste of aloha. And they offer «mini» portions of most dishes, which is both cost– and waistline-​friendly!

I enjoyed my visit to L & L. I’ve been quite a few times other locations before but never to this one. I found the location clean very nicely decorated I enjoyed the Hawaiian décor. The location is clean and quant. The cashier as well as my server with Ryan he was quite courteous and extremely helpful he was attentive to our needs and was quick to reply with anything that we requested he’s a wonderful asset to this location.
I wish I had as high praises of the food as I did the service. Unfortunately that’s not the case. I ordered the katsu chicken which was seriously overcooked. I would recommend that you let them know you want your chicken cooked softly so that you don’t end up with overly crispy chicken. Only about ¾ of mine was editable.

It’s about time I got myself here since it’s right near my house. They have so many things to choose from so I plan on coming back a few more times. As it was I got the Chicken Katsu Curry. It was awesome! Tender yet crunchy chicken with just the right amount of curry sauce to flavor but not inundate the chicken chunks. Actually, I think the regular Chicken Katsu without any curry sauce might be a little dry.
I got the «mini» size and I’m glad I did because it was a bunch of food for a solo diner. Next time I’m getting one of the BBQ mixes.

The spam saimin and chicken Katsuya were excellent. The service was fast and friendly. Will come back again if in the area.

I love Hawaiian food. Simple and satisfying. The service here is pretty straight forward. Order and sit. Very clean. The chicken Katsu is always hot crispy just the way I like it. I tried the new ramen burger meal which is all the craze these days, and I must say. It’s good and def a foodie must try, but I probably won’t order it again. There’s way better choices on their menu that I just cannot pass up.

Finally getting around to reviewing this little fast food-​y joint that is fast becoming a regular lunch spot for me. Good Asian near West Summerlin appears to be a rare commodity and, this modern Hawaiian being a close facsimile to Japanese comfort food in a way, L&L is most welcome. I have been here 3 times now, and I have not had a bad dish yet. Everything thus far is more than adequate, and deserving of more than the 3.5 stars it averages on Unilocal.
I have had the chicken katsu, fried shrimp, and hamburger steak plates. They come with rice and pasta salad on the side. The katsu is crispy and well-​cooked, although the meat is a bit thin so they have to be careful not to over-​fry. They do a good job. The shrimp is appropriately battered, not too much or too little, and perfectly crispy. The hamburger steak is the real winner, however. What looks like a couple of regular hamburger patties come full of that Japanese Hamburger Steak flavor, drenched in gravy and all satisfaction. If you are not familiar with the flavor of Japanese Hamburger steak, it’s very distinct from the taste of American burger patties. Not sure what’s in it, probably nothing good, but boy does it taste good. Bentoss next to Mitsuwa in Costa Mesa is a great example. The only thing missing here at L&L is a side of kimchi, but this isn’t a Korean place so…
The service is on the pleasant side, although I wouldn’t say it’s gold-​star material. You do have to wait a bit for your food (5 – 10 min), and while there are plenty of seats it fills up quickly. This will be my regular spot for lunch, and looking forward to trying a number of other items, including the ramen burger and some of their Hawaiian dishes.

–Update: I had to take away a star because my daughter found a piece of metal in her bite of BBQ chicken. (Posted pic of it). Luckily she wasn’t hurt and was able to identify and spit it out. Although something like this can end way worse! I called and the situation was handled with grace, which is why I didn’t drop them more stars. I was offered a free meal during my next visit, but they didn’t argue when I asked for a refund instead because I probably won’t be dining here again anytime soon. I hope they take this incident serious and address all restaurant and food safety topics with their employees.-
Consistent quality of food! L&L’s will always be a staple in quick, hearty, delicious Hawaiian meals. This location is a bit small if you’re trying to dine in during lunch hours. The food is always as good as expected and staff are friendly and helpful when you ask for anything. This is always our go to spot when we want a quick take out order.

Maybe it was because they were busy or whatever but the food here was so bland and undercooked. The cashier guy didn’t seem too friendly either.
Small ahi poke — ok so when they said «small» I was thinking they would put it in the spam musubi styrofoam containers but they gave me this small ass container where they put the mac salad in. It was good but definitely not worth $ 5.99 for that tiny portion. BOOOO.
BBQ chicken was flavorless. It wasn’t anything special and I feel like they rushed it because they were so busy. And they only gave two tiny ass scoops of rice too. Wtf yo. I guess I’m just used to Hawaiian BBQ’s generous portions.
Curry chicken katsu was also flavorless! And I freaking love katsu. They managed to screw up all of the food items I love. Very disappointed.
Service was also incredibly slow but they were very busy. I don’t think I’ll ever be coming back though. I’m sticking to Ohana BBQ for katsu and BBQ chicken and island flavor for poke.

I ordered Take Out again on a Monday night. Every table was taken, so I waited outside until some customers left. They were located near Red Rock Casino on W Charleston Blvd/​S Pavillion Dr in Las Vegas.
I ordered the BBQ Mix Plate which included BBQ Beef, short ribs, and chicken on a bed of raw cabbage. Everything was tough and fatty. The macaroni salad was well seasoned.
The Spam Musubi ($ 2.25 each) was warm and melt in your mouth good. I’m glad I ordered 2 of them.
The Spam Musubi is what keeps me coming back for more while I’m visiting Las Vegas.

Very very friendly staff and helpful when I was ordering. I got the order wrong twice! (meaning I ordered the wrong thing!) Lady at the counter was so accommodating and fixed my order both times and with a smile!
Food was great, rice fluffy, pulled pork and cabbage was good and mac salad was creamy, just wish the portion size was a little bigger.
Overall great speedy service.
I will be back!
