L & L Hawaiian BBQ

I noticed some past reviews were based off the food itself, but L&L is a Hawaiian restaurant chain all over. It isn’t a gourmet Hawaiian restaurant so if that’s what you’re expecting, this isn’t the place to go. BUT even though it isn’t gourmet Hawaiian, if you’re craving. For cheap Hawaiian style food, come here.
This is specially my favorite L&L location. My boyfriend and I used to go to our local L&L in San Jose, CA and the size portion we are used to doesn’t compare to this location! Portion sizes here are HUGE! In other locations we usually just get 1 scoop of rice and 1 scoop of Mac salad and they both fit in the to-​go box… Here, they you’ve you LOADS of the meat of choice, 2 scoops of rice and the Mac salad come separate on the side. So much food with the same great L&L taste. I loooove it!!! So if you know what L&L is, come to this location, you definitely get your money’s worth and more! :-)

The only good thing is that the service is good. The sweet lady behind the counter brought us our food to our table, which I wasn’t expecting.
The bad is that they don’t change out the oil in the fryers. We ordered a chicken bowl (good) and a burger combo. The burger was fine but the French fries tasted like fish! Couldn’t even eat them.
We are sad we switched from 5 guys located across the street to this place last minute. Probably heading to 5 guys now to get some good fries!

Not my favorite, but it’ll do. We were driving out of town and looking for a snack for the road after getting gas. Hadn’t had spam musubis in a while so L&L was perfect.
At first glance, the place looked deserted. Couldn’t see anything inside the windows since it was dark inside (and maybe the angle of the sun) and the parking lot around the restaurant looked unkept. Weeds growing around and just plain dirty. I saw some movement in the window and went closer to check it out. Sure enough, they were open.
They offer a special if you order 3 musubis instead of just one. So I got six spam musubi and 3 portuguese sausage (not for myself mind you, had the fam in the car). Service was ok, not overly «Ohana» as one would expect, but served it’s purpose. They only offered water cups in little dixie cups. No lids which is always a pain when traveling. I guess that’s their ploy to get you to buy something with a lid or that won’t easily spill. We’re just big water drinkers and not a lot of soda.
Anyway, the musubis were on par with what we’d expect from L&L and it hit the spot for all involved, so it’s all good.
Keep on Unilocal’n!

This was my first time in Vegas and coming from Maryland there’s not much Hawaiian cuisine available. However even with my minimal exposure to Hawaiian food, everything was absolutely amazing. My friend got the bbq combo plate and I got the beef curry. The beef in the curry was so tender it melted in my mouth. The macaroni salad was to die for!

I had lunch here today. I got the Bento box which really means variety in a styrofoam box. The Mahi Mahi was good, the bbq beef was much like korean bbq, good flavor, the teriyaki chicken was very tasty and the fried chicken — sorry don’t recall the name — was tasty with the sauce but a bit tough. If I was just rating it as a fast food joint I would give it 4 stars, but as a bbq joint 3 stars. Lots of food, good flavors, I would go back.

I heard a lot of good things about this about this company from a few friends. One day I when to check it out, I was well greeted as soon as I walked into Hawaiian Style Poke. I ordered me different types of poke and all I can say is, it’s the best kind of poke I tried since I moved from Oahu. Very good texture and ingredients that makes the poke so great. I would definitely recommed this place of business to anyone that just loves poke and a company that provides outstanding customer service. I’m glad I was introduce to this place because I will refer a lot of people and I would go back again and again for myself.

I love L&L! This & the one by the Galleria mall are the only one’s that stuff your plate. The others are stingy. So definitely come here!

Finally ramen burger… But not as tasty as I thought. They should mix in the MSG sauce into the noodles, and the meat was quite subpar.
The other l&l on Maryland and Sahara straight out refused to make it saying it does not taste good.
BBQ chicken was okay.

A surprisingly good place!
It’s on the cross streets of maryland and flamingo, and could be easily missed. It’s looks like a worn down brown shack, but the inside is cleaner than expected. It was pretty empty when we came in, but by the time we left it was popping.
The employee was very polite and cleaned up after people when they left. I ordered the chicken katsu in a small which is the perfect size for a lunch, anything more you would have leftovers.
The chicken katsu was flawlessly cooked, crunchy yet soft in the inside. It also came with macaroni salad which was good, you can’t really mess up macaroni salad.
So for $ 6 including tax, I’d say this is a great place to come during lunch or any of your classes after unlv.
Only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is how long the food takes to come out, there were only two customers ahead of me but it still took awhile for me to receive my food.

I stopped by for a quick lunch and ordered the mahi mahi plate. When I opened the container, I looked at the fish and it definitely didn’t look like mahi. It looked like the fillet of a small fish where they butterfly it before frying. When I tasted it, I definitely knew it wasn’t mahi. I do some boat fishing in Hawaii and eat mahi quite often so I know the taste. This definitely was something else.
Rather than making a scene, I ate the «fish» plate and left. I hope Eddie Flores reads this and puts quality control procedures in place and insists that his franchisees adhere to the good quality control that made L & L popular in the first place.
I won’t ever eat at that location again!
