Haven’t had good L & L in a long time.. Been away from Oahu since 2020 and man I am so glad I discovered L & L here in Sarasota, Florida. The chicken katsu taste just like how it does at home, the Mac salad is so Ono Very impressed, and the owner and staff are very friendly. You feel the Aloha over there and I love it. Definitely coming back! Well worth the 2 hour drive from Orlando!

It was so nice to be able to come here and have a taste of Hawaii after being gone from the islands for 10 years. So happy they opened! Fingers crossed they decide to open in the space Coast soon, there are so many Hawaiians on this side of the state that would love to have one. We drove from 3 hours away, but it was so worth it. Even got a couple plates to take home for the family.

Great friendly service ? So many good menu choices, but I had to have the iconic Loco Moco that I had seen on Andrew Zimmern's show in Hawaii. Loved it! It's 2 scoops of sticky rice, covered by 2 beef patties, 2 fried eggs, ( I had them over easy) and generously smothered in beef gravy...so good! The meal also came with a traditional Hawaiian side of macaroni salad which was also delicious and flavorful, not plain! I had a side of steamed veggies out of guilt and they were very good, not overcooked. The dining area was neat and clean. The food was served in a timely manner and was nice and hot. Next time I want to try the BBQ mix plate, or the Katsu chicken. I'd recommend L&L to my family and friends!?? Mahalo L&L!

Great food at great prices !!!

This place is amazing ? Food is great, staff is friendly and price is reasonable. Treat yourself to something different, you won’t regret it. Mahalo ?

This place is clean and the service is full of the Aloha spirit. From the generous amount of food, to the friendly and authentic service from the staff, it was like being back home in Hawaii all over again. I tried the BBQ short ribs with Mac salad and rice, and after the first bite I was in tears, literally.The flavor took me back to days cooking on the open grill at the beach in Hawaii with my Pops.Although those days have since long passed, L&L brought me back to that special place, even for a moment❤️ I'm definitely going to make this one of my MUST go to places whenever family or friends are in town, especially if we need a little taste and reminder of home❤️

Been here two times now and every time it gets better. The first time I got the Hawaiian bbq combo and is by far the best I’ve gotten in Florida. This time around I ordered the chicken katsu curry and it didn’t disappoint! The portions are more than enough, perfect leftovers. It took me back to when I lived in Japan, it was that good. It was made from scratch which is something that’s rare in this area. The owners and staff are the best, they have the best customer service I’ve seen. I bought my friends here and they couldn’t agree more, it was all wonderful. The spam musubi, the seafood platter, the shaved ice, the pineapple cake, all of it!

The Chicken Katsu was perfect. Service was good. Staff were friendly. My only gripe is that they didn't have any POG. They had the other Hawaiian Sun drinks but no POG. They also had Kona Brewing beers but usually locals drink Heinekens. 10/10 would recommend for grindz again cahz ?

The mix grill bbq plate is out this world ! This place is excellent… I order on the app and always fresh and ready on time !

Finally a good Hawaiian place in Florida! We are from the west coast and have been severely missing Hawaiian food. This place was everything we could have hoped for and more. The food is great and an amazing price. The Hawaiian shaved ice is the perfect end to the meal. Also this place might be the cleanest restaurant I have ever eaten at. The staff was really friendly and even came over to check and see if we needed anything else while we were eating. These days that service is like gold. I hope this place is around forever! ?
