They USED to be good. My husband and I used to frequent this place but man, has it gone downhill. The quality and quantity just isn't there, and it certainly doesn't justify the price. It's so awful. I was so upset that I had this meal, and vow to never return. The BBQ beef was not sweet, which it should be. It was bland but also had a vinegar taste to it? They were very thin strips with nothing to them. The meat quality was horrible. The chicken katsu was mostly breading and very little chicken and also extremely bland. The katsu sauce was watery and also no flavor. The mac salad also had no flavor and not the creamy, tuna filled mac I'm used to. It was like they bought it from the Walmart deli or something, which would arguably be better than what this was. The white rice was probably the best part, because how can you mess up white rice? You really can't. The tables were dirty and the trash had not been taken out from the previous day and we were literally the first people in the door when they opened, so there's no excuse for that. Not only that, but if you say your opening time posted on your hours is 10am, then maybe you should open at 10am, NOT 10:15am or anything after that.Please stay away. It's not worth your hard earned money AND there are way better Hawaiian barbecue places, like Leo's Hawaiian Barbecue. Even Ono is better than this!

I have been ordering food from this restaurant for years. Yesterday I picked up food and it just tasted different. I have been on the toilet since 9pm it's now 4:42 am. I will never order food from [email protected] Hawaiian Barbecue again.

Our work ordered a large amount of food for employees appreciation twice. The beef was pretty much gristle, the chicken was bland, I thought maybe it was because it was such a large order, so I ordered a meal for myself once to see if it was better, extremely disappointed.

Service was fast. Beef is good, chicken saimin was yummy. I did have 2 dealbreaker problems this visit though: first, I ordered the Seafood combo with BBQ beef. Only received beef! Not sure if the guy was just not listening right? And silly of me not to get a receipt because from the total cost, seems like i paid for a $19 seafood combo plate. And second, the thai tea tastes a little like rotten milk and I’m a thai tea and fish fanatic so overall, disappointed with my visit.

Nice little Hawaiian BBQ place! BBQ chicken was tasty and the Mac salad was delicious. Tried the spam, a must have, and chicken musubi and that was good too

Came up from Tucson today to have Hawaiian food since I am from Hawaii I come up on occasion and it was the worst experience of my life we had chicken katsu and barbecue chicken And it had to be the worst I've ever had it was so overcooked the Katsu taste like cardboard and the barbecue chicken was just burned up and of course I don't live close enough to return so I am very very upset disappointed p***** everything you can think of we spent over a $100 which I always do that's not the point but it was completely the worst experience ever!!!!!! May not be returning again and I've been coming up for years

I'm not a big fan for LnL except for the ones in Hawaii. But still not the biggest fan about it. The fish mahi at this spot is tasteless and seems oily and eggy in texture. The salad was def not fresh starting with the old and not fresh cucumbers. Not coming back.

This place is trash ! DO NOT come here. I’m not sure if it’s a real L&L franchise or a knock off !!! To me it seemed like a knock off wannabe L&L. The place looks like it’s 30-40 years old. It was a waste of my money. They have soy sauce and sriracha in regular bottles marked soy sauce on a piece of tape. So all of us “thousands of us” can share the bottle and pass it around like Covid doesn’t exist. When I walked in the guy didn’t even welcome me or act friendly. My spam wasn’t fully cooked neither was my meat. They gave me more chicken than actual meat on my combo. It doesn’t taste like the franchise L&L barbecue. The restaurant itself doesn’t have the vibe of a L&L restaurant. There was trash on the floor including glass in one corner. A broken window covered with a piece of plywood. They got their own menu. Stuff I’ve never even seen before. Don’t wast your time here. I ate here and it was not welcoming. I’d understand if it wasn’t an L&L restaurant but don’t call it and L&L restaurant because L&L does not look like this.

They are closed… until further noticeSO SAD!!!!I love their foodHopefully they come back soon

Always good BBQ just takes a while to wait but worth it. Good job L&L Hawaiian BBQ keep making that good food....
