L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

Service is really bad. All those Chinese workers seems like hurry pay and take your food. They never smile at all. Seems like they really hate their job. Those food is not great at all and too expensive. I can make better at home. I only ate there because I was in Walmart and so hungry. Next time I will just starve and eat somewhere else. I order the mini beef curry. Inside had only 2 small pieces of meat, 1 carrot, and 1 potato.

There food is disgusting amd the when i went to order from menu tjey told me they stopped selling stuff m. They should change the menu its over priced and not great

Totally suprised, we were shopping in Walmart and I decided to grab a burger because I missed breakfast and wow best fast food burger ever, all four of us tried it and I can honestly say don’t know why but it was so damn good. We all had to grab an extra one and then find another L&L while we were in Hawaii.
It is not fancy and to be honest the meat is one of those processed meat patties but it is still a great burger. Don’t expect too much and I am sure you will enjoy it as well.

Cashier gave me attitude when I asked for 2 more packets of ketchup for my $ 3.00 bag of burnt fries! BOO!
Note to self: Need to check on food before heading back to the office.

WTF…$ 15 BBQ mix get no Kalbi?! I thought they cheat thinking I’m a tourist and threw in a piece of inedible «Kalbi-​looking pork»…No… Kalbi was not in the plate pictures or their menu. Guess I’m the sucka.

I ordered Bacon & Egg the other day and can’t help noticed the taste of bacon. It seems like they have recycle their cooking oil and re-​use for their breakfast cooking. The taste of bacon was disgusting.

Typical local joint – mediocre quality, big portions (with the current restaurant trend to charge you a little more and give you a little less, this may have changed) it can’t help but be a winner. It’ll break your mouth without breaking your bank account. Just don’t go into the Walmart bathroom before you eat. You may lose your appetite.

They’ve improved somewhat. Before their regular Kalua pork and cabbage plate was in a bowl, which was way too small. Now they’re in a regular plate. and since I’ve got the munchies, well, my dinner was awesome-​sauce. Lol.

Never again, I just found a huge pubic hair under my chicken katsu. I’m disgusted and will be not giving them my business anymore. I love that place now I’m just sickened

I go to walmart a lot but I don’t dine at this particular L&L too often or actually it’s been too long since I’ve had their food here. Let me tell you service is not their specialty here. No sense of customer service when ordering food. We placed an order for 1 mini chicken katsu curry, 1 mini chicken katsu, and 1 salmon patty salad. They gave us 2 mini katsu curry instead but my sister decided to just eat the curry one instead because we didnt want to wait for another one to be made. I got my salad and it was two itty bitty peices of salmon that was totally not worth the price. it’s overpriced for the portions they offer here. I think I’ve experience better at the L&L closer to my home. The quality of food just didn’t seem fresh during my last visit here.

Very disappointing! I’ve been here several times, but won’t be back again. I had Chicken Katsu. Used to be thick pieces of chicken, was so ono. Today it was almost paper thin and dry. Also, very overpriced. Almost eight bucks for mini and over twelve for regular.. .sooo not worth it! Hubby ordered Beef Curry, he said it wasn’t too bad, just average.

I love Hawaiian bbq and this place was fine to get a loco moco to split with my dad. Located in the Walmart.

I want to say that I used to love L & L when it was banging back in the day. But, I got over their food quick too …
For the record, I haven’t had L&L for years … until last week Saturday after my awesome massage.
I figured I’d pick up something quick to eat while I was in Walmart buying DVDs and crackers.
So this is how my adventure with L&L went:
Walked up to the counter …
Ordered a chicken Katsu. To go. Said it twice.
The guy who took my order talked so fast and SOFT that I couldn’t understand what the hell he said. FINALLY, we concluded that he was asking me if this was to go or eat there.
I started at him, and stared at him. And he says «oh yeah, never mind»
I pay, he hands me my receipt. Mumbles my number, and I walk to the side to wait.
Here’s where I should’ve known better. Not 10 seconds after I walked away, my number was called o.0
… okay
I looked at him just to be sure he was calling my number. He waved his arms and pointed at me.
Needless to say, because I didn’t listen to my inner voice yelling «NO RETURN IT AND GET OUR MONEY BACK!!!» … I went home, ate some of the chicken, which seemed okay … but I not surprisingly, got FOOD POISONING!!!
And this is why I will go back to NEVER eating there again. Sometimes it’s best to listen to that inner voice of yours. You don’t want to be running to the bathroom all night, every 5 seconds. It kind of blew my zen I had going on from my massage.
Don’t EVER eat there, don’t take your out of town relatives or friends there. Just stay away from the place!

The straw on the camel’s back has finally broken.
First off, I like L&L. I’m not saying it’s super great but I do eat there often. However, at this location I am never satisfied with the quality of food I get here but I can be forgiving especially when I am hungry.
This time around I’m feeling under the weather. Flu season, it’s going around. Thank goodness for antibiotics. I wanna eat something but not a lot. Hot noodles sounded real good as it always does when I am sick. I order the plain saimin. That can’t be hard to make right?
I was disgusted with what I got. The noodles over cooked and the broth tasted like soap water. I could not finish it. I went home and made my own with cabbage and chicken. My other half long ago has condemned this location. I should have followed her lead. That was it for me too. Thank goodness the other locations are not infected with this symptom.
My suggestion, try the other locations first like the one by the Ward Theatres on Kamakee St.

This location is inside the Walmart, I was starving and decided to give this place a shot (I believe is a chain). I got a combo and it was delicious. I don’t know if the reason it tasted so good was because I was hungry but I really enjoyed.

It’s L&L…I’ve found generally its best to have low expectations here in Hawaii, but on the Mainland these places are great!
Early start today left me needing a bite about 3pm. had a small plate lunch.
Nothing exciting. Mac salad was good.

Worst L&L we’ve ever been to. If this was my first L&L experience, I would never go back. The food at this Walmart location is completely overpriced as if they were inside some amusement park or airport and they give you measly portions. Normally one plate is enough for 2 people but this was barley enough for 1. We ordered the BBQ mixed plate and it cost $ 13!!! There was honestly only about $ 5 worth of food since there was only 1 piece of meat on the plate! Ridiculous!

This L&L used to be my favorite! The chicken katsu here used to be the greatest… In the past, the katsu plate provided large pieces of white meat chicken, enough meat so that when you bit into it, you could tell it was chicken. It came fresh out of the fryer so you could definitely taste the crispness of the katsu. However, the past few times I’ve gone, the katsu is just skin and breaded crumbs. When I bit into it, all I could taste was the crunch followed by some grease and oil. It wasn’t hot either, which meant that it had been pre-​fried and then just left there to sit. I can understand that it’s a fast food joint which means precooking is sometimes a necessity. However, for something like chicken katsu where you can taste the old grease if it’s not fresh, I think it would be advisable to fry batches frequently instead of all at once and left to sit. I had a bad grease taste in my mouth all day. I don’t usually eat chicken katsu or L&L in general but I don’t think I’ll be back for another round…

«If you build it, he will come.»
And come I did! It has been all about the Saimin Burger this past month. Inspired by the Ramen Burger, the Saimin Burger is legit! Slimy yet satisfying, it was a pleasure eating it hot off the grill. It’s not the healthiest burger, but it was delicious! It did leave my hands a bit greasy though. Luckily, the restrooms are right next door!
This L&L is located in Walmart and there is lots of parking available in their parking lot. It does get a bit crowded with shoppers looking for a deal. I’m guilty of doing the same.
Service is fast and the dining room is small. Everything has a modern vibe. Plus, there are plenty of tourists!

Ok so my review is a little different from the other Unilocalers due to my tourist status.
This L&L is by far the best L&L I have eaten, and perhaps even the best Hawaiian fast food… period. The Hawaiian fast food places in Los Angeles have nothing on this place. The food was delish, conveniently located, and cheap! I am a budget traveler so this nailed all 3 items on my wish list.
I played it safe and tried the Teriyaki Chicken and Beef plate. Everything was great, more than expected.
Seating can be a little tough to snag.
