    Hawaiian tourist here. I just learned that each location is a franchise and that they may vary from one to another. The garlic chicken here is awesome!Pictured here is a mini, which comes with a scoop of rice and a scoop of macaroni salad. The creamy pasta complements the garlic chicken perfectly. This place reminded me of the dive taco shops that exist all over in San Diego. Inexpensive. Great food. Your mileage may vary.

    You're better off going to a local mom and pop restaurant. Food was pretty bland and the restaurant had no AC so sitting and eating there was awful. But if you're in a rush and need a quick meal this place is okay but get it to-go so you won't have to eat there with no AC.

    It ‘s ok, I’ve eaten at many of this chain. My favorite is the healthy meals. But at this store it wasn’t that great. Need better salad dressing and fresher vegetables. You also can’t get toss veg with your dinner in place of Mac salad.

    It’s one of the few best restaurants around, the portion of food was so enough and good, it worth every penny you pay, their food taste like real food and so delicious in compare with junk food Macdonald across. Good job on bringing great food to community, thanks.

  • 2/5 Benjamin Apolonio J. 4 years ago on Google
    Service was good but food wasn't.

  • 1/5 D. S. 2 years ago on Google
    The BBQ MIX Plate which I ordered with the beef stew. The beef stew meat and carrots should have been cooked longer so it’ll be softer. The stew had a pinkish sauce and it really didn’t taste like beef stew.

  • 5/5 Sharon T. 1 year ago on Google
    Good and fast service, generous servings, our go to place to take out for dinner.

  • 4/5 Efren O. 1 year ago on Google
    Chicken Katsu was good but their beef teriyaki left a weird aftertaste of old oil. They do give you pretty big portions.

  • 5/5 Jorge 1 year ago on Google
    Super delicious, and the portions are absolutely huge!

  • 5/5 Victor O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place with great food. Although being a franchise it has a very local feel. Great portions for the price.

  • 5/5 TheLongLife 1 year ago on Google
    Best place we've eaten in Hawaii yet!!! Huge portions l, delicious flavors. A must stop !

  • 3/5 Pan Darius K. 1 year ago on Google
    Hawaiian fast food, a local staple. I'm not a big fan, to me it's about the same as Hamburger Helper, and don't get me started on SPAM. There's nothing 'wrong' with the food, I just think it's kind of 'meh'. What's so great about an overcooked frozen hamburger patty on top of a pile of white rice and covered in gravy? You can make this at home cheaper.

  • 4/5 Neal S. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly, helpful staff. Food was prepared, as ordered. Usually busy but, orders are completed quickly.

  • 5/5 Alyssa I. 9 months ago on Google
    We got the mochiko chicken and the portion was huge and tasted great! We also tried the garlic chicken and pork.. definitely recommend for an affordable delicious plate lunch.

  • 5/5 Aaron S. 1 year ago on Google
    I've had my doubts about Hawaiian plate lunch, but no more. Every last thing was amazing. Teriyaki beef, fried shrimp, orange chicken, garlic chicken, mac salad... all so so good. The garlic chicken is heaven for true garlic lovers and I've never liked any mac salad I've had on island until this one. Would recommend the mini plate unless you are HUNGRY or want leftovers, portions are generous to say the least. I'll be working my way through the menu for the next few months, please call a doctor.

    Worst L&L on the island! My worst experience at an L&L ever!!! When my partner and I entered and approached the counter, I said hello. Cashier ignored us busy on her phone. They are missing or out of stock of many major menu items other locations have. The place is filthy in the dining room as well as what you can see behind the counter. So I can only imagine what the kitchen looks like. I ordered the garlic chicken, which I’ve ordered for years in Kailua or Waimanalo, has always been a crispy fried chicken similar to a Korean style chicken with a buttery garlic sauce. I received a pile of boiled chicken mostly cartilage, with minced garlic sprinkled on it. Rice tastes really old and the Mac salad is missing ingredients.

    I normally go to L&L when I am visiting Long Beach, CA. They have a great variety of different options. An they always give generous portions. I meant to get the Garlic chicken lunch. But ended up with the Lemon instead. I highly recommend the mixed plate.

  • 5/5 Papi Will's J. 1 year ago on Google
    Saw a bunch of people lining up from this store at lunch time. I am new on the Island and saw this Store. I gave it a try for the meal posted outside. The burger was awesome!

    Food was good and big portions. Fried fish was a little too salty for me but the bbq beef was really good. My wife enjoyed her garlic shrimp.

  • 4/5 Jason H. 3 years ago on Google
    Still good. Although, it could use more variety on specials and maybe soups.

  • 5/5 Anne M. 4 years ago on Google
    Not sure if all L&L's have breakfast items, but the one at Windward City does. We go there for the fluffy pancakes. They're HUGE, taste great, great price... My go-to for fast inexpensive breakfast food!!!
