L&L

Wow, this place was exactly how everyone else described it! My husband and I only stopped by because we hadn’t eaten all day and it was the closest place for us to grab a quick bite to eat before heading into Kailua for the night. As someone mentioned earlier, it was true, there wasn’t a greeting, smile, or thank you from the cashier. We ordered the bowls of Kalua Pork with Cabbage; and Spam Musubi. Both items had no flavor. The Kalua Pork had a lot of fat and my husband had to doctor up the bowls by adding Sriracha and Soy sauce to give it some flavor. The Spam in the Musubi wasn’t fried and had the consistency of being used directly out of the can. I had to throw it away. We would’ve been better off starving that evening and just waited to eat a hearty breakfast the next morning!

Nasty. Don’t you dare eat here. Don’t you dare!
Story time: I watched the guy in the back pull out what looked like a bucket of ribs or some kind of meat, pull it from the red goo at the bottom of the bucket, which was placed on the floor, and then proceed to cut the meat on a cutting board WHICH WAS ALSO ON THE FLOOR. If that’s not bad enough, one of the chops of meat slipped off the board after a knife chop, slid under the oven and the guy reached under there, and put it back into the pile with the other cuts, presumably to be cooked up for the day’s customers.
The guy at the counter couldn’t possibly care less about looking you in the eye or thanking you for your transaction, either.
They probably get their business from customers hungry from driving the belt road and reaching this first bit of civilization (and who probably don’t have cell service to check this place on Unilocal first.)
Nasty, nasty stuff. Don’t do it.

This place is disgusting. I don’t know how it hasn’t been shut down by the health inspector. It only took a minute to get our food. Then the couple behind us ordered hamburgers and it only took them a minute to get their food. (Not normal) I look back at the kitchen and can see a man sitting on the floor with a bucket of what looked like old food and some orange liquid at the bottom. My husband saw it as well. Before I saw this I took a couple bites of my BBQ chicken teriyaki bowl. The chicken wasn’t very good, but I wasn’t expecting it to be wonderful. The worst was the carrots. They tasted very flimsy and tough. I can’t even describe it because it isn’t something I have ever tasted. The broccoli tasted like it just had been nuked in the microwave. The rice was weird. It was just terrible. We got a soft drink and it tasted really gross. So, I assume they never clean their machines. I have worked in 4 restaurants and never in my life have I seen such filth. They had a lot of people working in the back, so I can’t see how it could be so bad and dirty. However, it was. Do not go to this place, not even for a soft drink.

When we need a fast meal we I mean the ohana we go down to l&l for a meal an it’s always good !!!

One star for customer service three and a half for food when the women works the front order always messed up when the guy works front he’s awesome! Over all decent!

Food tasted old… Really Old :-) …Maybe this place is a microcosm and doesn’t adhear to any of the other L&L’s…I have owned several restaurants on the mainland and tried this place due to a lack of diversity in Ocean View… Please…Please…do yourself a favor and to go to Mehe’s or Shakas. …2 Thumbs Down !!

I gave it 3 stars, because this place was really dirty. Unfortunately, there are not that many restaurants in Ocean View, that was our only choice, when we were coming back from Volcano Park at 9pm.

The food was greasy and tasted old. I don’t recommend it unless you have to go there. The cashier was hard to understand and had a huge attitude when taking the order

DO NOT GO!!! Terrible food and surly service. Overflowing trash cans and what ever you do, DO NOT ASK TO USE THE RESTROOMS!

I usually dont do 4 stars, however!!! This place had delicious food, decent prices compared to the rest of the island, but be prepared for some really bad attitude. Therefore the 4 stars. Other than that, everything else was good.

Stopped by here right before closing on our way back from volcano national park. Not much else around, food was very good and they had an extensive menu.

For being a little hole in the wall, this place was pretty good. Try the healthy chicken with siracha sauce. Yum!

I really want to give these guys a better rating, but I just can’t. The service and staff are always friendly and top notch, but the food is less than desirable. Breakfast is probably your best bet with pancakes
and scrambled eggs.
BBQ Chicken and Garlic Mahi Healthy Plates can be tasty. It’s hit and miss.
This franchise location is run by the same people who own the the Captain Cook and Keauhou locations.
I was craving a curry, but and asked for a veggie curry. They were kind enough to out something together for me. The veggies were good, but there was something off about the curry sauce. Perhaps my tastebuds have just changed a lot since I’ve been eating unprocessed vegan food for awhile.

For a quick bite to eat in the middle of nowhere this place ROCKS! I love the garden burger and their soup is delicious. Fast, friendly, and super convenient :)

this is your typical Hawaiian drive in, It comes with two scoops of dry rice and a boring scoop of macaroni salad. The entre, orange chicken was so hard, that it could have broken a tooth. It was also bland and tasteless. Same tasteless quality in the chicken sandwich.
There was no bathroom. Prices were kind of high for such bad food.

Another L&L from chain in Kona. Same excellent food and Service. Only real food in Ocean View
