L & L Hawaiian Barbeque

I normally get chicken Katsu musuei and it always comes with extra dipping sauce not only did she yell at my mother and brother that it was already in the bag but when my husband went back she yelled at him even when he offered to buy more sauce she threw one at him saying «This is all you get» I have never had such terrible service!!! I will now be making the drive to the eastern location to get my meal correctly made and not have a lady yell at me for her mistake.
Terrible terrible terrible service!!! Make the extra trip and get your food with out the attitude.

The best L&L is the one on Maryland pkwy. Went to the one on Stephanie ordered what I always order and chicken was so salty, mac salad was soggy, rice was dry like it was old. NO Bueno. Very disappointed :-(

I always get the bbq chicken and I absolutely love it. nice size platter for under $ 10 comes with rice n mac salad. yummmm

Horible customer service, the portions have become way smaller while the prices have doubled. The lady at the register really hates her job. 16 dollars for two burgers and she tried giving me only one katchup container saying one per customer.

I have eaten @ L&L in Irvine, CA. Irvine L&L is good. Henderson L&L is subpar.
I came in Saturday night after an evening of partying. I had not eaten all day. Basically, I was starving. I ordered half Chicken Katsu and half Short Ribs…
The Chicken Katsu is alright, its not very flavorful and kind of dry. The chicken katsu sauce is is bland, no flavor at all. The short ribs were sour for some reason. Sour bbq? Gross. The rice is ok. The macaroni salad was mostly mayo. I didn’t like it.
Final judgement? Avoid this place. It’s not worth the money.

Not that great. I had the garlic shrimp plate, that was a mistake. This dish has a lot of broccoli, way too many onions and very dried out tough shrimp. Steamed rice, okay if you like steamed rice and Mongolian salad which is just warm pasta salad made with too much mayo. I won’t be going back.

Home of the famous KATSU JELLY SAUCE! See picture… Good food portions. Also the tables were sticky which I ended up wiping myself. Okay no tip for them…

For the price, it’s not a bad deal. I got the wings today. 9 of them plus rice and a small amount of mac salad. I normally get the seafood combo. It comes with mahi mahi, teriyaki chicken, and shrimp. I always tell them to delete the shrimp and give an extra piece of fish. Normally the fish is thick, moist and good. Last time over cooked and dry. The teriyaki chicken always good. The shrimp always horrible. Don’t get it. Too thin, too much bread, too dry. Step back from their shrimp.
All in all, the chicken always good and the mahi mahi most times good. Not great. But good, and enough of it.

I liked my bbq combo and the mac salad. It seemed clean enough. It was not expensive. The folks were nice. The food was fast n hot. No issues here and I will be back. I get to pretend I am some sort of food expert on Unilocal but I am not. I am not full of unrealistic expectations at a fast. food Hawaiian bbq place.

For the quality I think it is just average. It does the job of getting you full but definitely nothing healthy

I had never tried Hawaiian BBQ before coming to L&L so I’m no afficianado on the subject. I had only recently discovered Korean BBQ (which the two are similar in style but not taste). The menu here is very full and just delicious to even look at. I’ve never found it to be too busy and I’usually get my order taken in no time. The atmosphere is always clean and the staff is always very friendly. There’s usually two asian guys in the kitchen that you get to watch cook and seem to know their stuff because I’ve never had a bad experience. I’ve only tried one item on the menu and thats the BBQ Mix meal but it has been consistenly amazing every time I’ve tried it (save the one time they forgot to give me the free eggroll but thats neither here nor there). The meat is so full of flavor and the chicken is so tender it literally will fall apart in your mouth! The plates are always full of food and full of flavor and I always leave feeling like a stuffed pig and I love that! I would normally rate a place like this a 4-​star just because its not really anything out of this world different or exotic but being as it has been 100% consistent and that means the world to me, it gets the full 5 stars! I’ve read some peoples reviews on how this place is nothing like the ones back in Hawaii so I can only imagine what they must be!

I have never ate Hawaiian Bbq before and my boyfriend took me to L&L because he works right across the street. And I am now a fan of the food, they have great food with great prices. You get more than you pay for! I am most definitely going to be going back and eating there. I especially love the macaroni salad and spring rolls they make.

when you walk in the place speaks for itself. I like the Katsu Chicken. Im not pleased with most everything else.

Like many transplanted Hawaiians, we relocated to the ninth island of Las Vegas. I moved due to a transfer in my company, and was very happy to hear of a L & L Hawaiian Barbeque in Henderson. The sad part of it all… it’s not the same as home!
Yes, this location loads up the chicken, and meats; but there’s way too many deletions and short cuts on the menu. For one, the Garlic chicken isn’t the same recipe and taste way different. There is NO mixed plate A (Hamburger steak, teriyaki steak, and a choice of Beef stew, curry stew or chili) which is my favorite. Not to mention the Hamburger is not the L & L original burger, which is truly sad, because this location uses the typical frozen 100% beef burgers… why can’t this store management get with the program, and realize it was the Hamburger mix that made this place great!
I been noticing the crowds are no longer lining up and waiting for their food, like how it was for the past few years. I feel it’s due to the short cuts the franchise’s owner has undertaken. There still a chance for this location to gain the respect from the many Hawaiians that live in the area, but they have to work fast to gain my respect again… or I’m continue to still go to Ross J, or Aloha Kitchens down the street. or better yet, Island Sushi and deli up the freeway instead of L & L.
Come on L & L, I want you to succeed and spread across our great nation, but the L &L Corporate heads needs to get back the old school standards that made this business great!

This location is closest to my home in Henderson. This was the first L & L we hit up when we first moved to Vegas. I was like thank goodness… Hawaiian food!!! I didn’t even eat too much of L & L’s in Hawaii when I was living there being that there were way better places but this is one of the places to get your Hawaiian food fix here in Vegas. Reason for the 4-​stars… it’s close to where I live. The mac salad is always good. My fav is the chicken katsu plate or the pork lau lau. This location, they won’t let you make up your own combo plates like the other location on Serene. And they don’t have mochiko chicken here. I believe so anyway since I last ate here probably a few months ago. Prices are reasonable. And the portions are pretty good sizes whether it’s a mini or a regular plate. I don’t like to eat in here much as I don’t have that «clean feeling» every time we do eat in there. It’s a good thing I bring antibacterial wipes where ever I go! LOL! We’ve done catering w/​them as well. Mainly for the mac salad & chicken katsu’s & had no problems. I’ve noticed the sauce for the chicken katsu can be inconsistant at times. There are a few workers who have been really nice to us & some that just seem like they don’t wanna be there but watevers…

I eat here all the time cause it’s close to my house and well I grew up on L and L food. The menu they post is well done and executed consistently. What ever I order is always what I can expect it to be. However the Menu is not as large as the ones you find in Hawaii you can still order the favorites. Spam Musubi and and Mini Chicken Katsu to go. Great daily lunch specials. Fast friendly service. A soda machine and a little radio in the dinning area make this place good times to just relax in on a hot day. I just wish they did lemon chicken.

I Like L and L my honey HATES it so I eat it when he’s not around :) I give it three stars because I got the chicken katsu with curry and I asked them to make it spicy and it seemed like they just put allot more salt and some black pepper in it. It was not spicy. It was still good, but it always gives me a belly ache. But by the next time im craving it I won’t remember. I was reading some of the other reviews and maybe it’s the MSG that makes you feel that way I don’t know but I will still eat here because it tastes good.

You get what you pay for here. The food is decent and for the price and the amount of portioning they give you, well it’s not a bad deal. I recommend trying it atleast once if you want cheaper hawaiin food…

Good Hawaiian barbeque with some interesting selections. I tried the mixed BBQ and the Chicken Katsu. Both were good, but I’m more likely to reorder the Chicken Katsu. My son had the Loco Moco, which is hamburger patties on rice, covered with brown gravy and 2 eggs. It looked gross, but he said he really liked it.
Overall, this was a nice change of pace from the usual dinner and worth checking out if you have the chance.

After having a pretty good experience at the last L & L
, I was craving for more of it. However, instead of going to the S. Maryland Parkway one in Vegas, I was at the N. Stephanie location in Henderson.
As always, I had a regular order of pork lau lau. It was about $ 7 and came with two small scoops of rice and one small scoop of mac salad. The mac salad was creamy and peppery. Imagine my surprise though to find not one, but TWO pork lau laus in my order! Wow! They were already getting four stars just for serving up two of these babies. In all my years of ordering this stuff, I have never gotten two in a regular order. (They never offer a mini order of pork lau lau either.) However, the pork lau lau was a bit watery. It wasn’t dry, thank gawd. But it lacked flavor. I had to douse it with a lot of soyu, unfortunately. They did have a good amount of pork and fatty goodness in there though.
The BF requested a combo with Chicken Katsu and Hawaiian BBQ Short Ribs. His order cost $ 7.70. Upon opening the box, he saw the chicken was a bit darker than he would have preferred, either it’s from over-​frying it, or old oil. I think it was from the former because the katsu was really crunchy. His order was surprisingly large and we both ended up with leftovers. His short ribs had a distinctive sauce on the ribs, like they put the sauce on top of it after it was cooked.
Cleanliness of the store was an issue here. Initially, we were seated at a booth and saw this red sauce on the wall. «Uh, is that hot sauce?» «Yeah.» «Uh, okay then… let’s move.» There is hot sauce up on these walls, and dark marks too that I think a good wipe down would take care of. They obviously have a leak in their ceiling as you can see by the dark water stains from above. And it’s just a bit grimy here. I don’t think anything bothers to clean up the tables or seats here.
Sidenote: They do offer a weekday lunch special. For $ 4.95, you get a choice of chicken katsu, BBQ chix, or BBQ pork, and it comes with a 16 oz soda, their daily appetizer, rice, and mac salad.
Overall, I give them four stars for the amount of food you’re getting for the price. In terms of quality, that’s where the stars go down. And plus, stuff on the walls should always bring your star mark down too. Take your order to go so you won’t have to see the grime.
