L & L Hawaiian Barbecue

This is my first time here, i had before eaten but never had i personally order nor been inside a L&L location, however today was actually finally my first time and i can say i enjoyed it a lot and ill have to stop by again soon. I had the BBQ mix plate and it was delicious, great flavor, freshly made and fast, this location seem to be a hidden gem but those that know about it, will agree with me, at least that’s what i hope. Am thinking ordering something with shrimp next time

Sadly, the quality of their food has gone downhill. The chicken for the chicken katsu was pounded so thin that all I tasted was breading. Come on, chicken thighs aren’t that expensive! And the breading was burnt! For $ 9+ was not worth it. I thought it was a fluke, but it has been the same for the last 3 katsu’s I have ordered. Three strikes, I am done with this place!

Good food and lots of it. I shared a meal and was full when we left. The person who took my order was very helpful with the menu and had no problem giving suggestions on what was popular among the regular patrons.

Food is good & service was awesome. Came here after work, to go orders of spam musubi and the seafood combo. The spam musubi was superb. Seafood combo included fried shrimp, fried fish & a choice of meat… Of course I chose short ribs, my absolute fav. I had previously order the bbq mix at another L&L location, I prefer the seafood combo, it’s delicious if you like seafood & meat… The bbq mix is meat overload. If you’ve never tried spam musubi, you’re missing out! Must try!!! Esp if you love spam, it is delicious!
The cashier was very friendly as well, love good service!
Will defiantly be coming back when my Hawaiian food cravings are kicking in :)

Food was Okay. most of the chicken in my bowl was just pieces of fat. And the waitress was dressed poorly. She looked like she would pull a gun out ofln us at any minute. I would never eat here again.

I came here for lunch. Its was ok, I will have to try it again. The chicken had a little to much fat and was a little on the soggy side. They need to ask for your name for pick up from the counter. I sat there and heard excuse me sir, and everyone looked at the cashier. Also the fountain drink machine is hidden in the corner, I think it should me moved to a more visable location.

Disappointing, this used to be my favorite Hawaiian BBQ but lately It seems in attempt to save money they use thinner meat and after its breaded and fried it taste like dry cardboard plus they raised their prices.
The one on Stephanie is slightly better.

Im sure that lots of people love this place but me personally the meat is WAYYY to fatty for me

Don’t like places that closes 10, 20, or 30 minutes before the posted CLOSED time. Change your closing time if you’re going to shut the door on customers before the posted time.

I only order the Chicken Katsu from here and it is very good. The sauce is yummy + mac salad that comes with is delicious :)
Customer service is great.

Delicious Hawaiian food! I cannot begin to express how overjoyed I was to see L & L in Las Vegas when I first moved here 7 years ago. It nearly had me in tears! I knew in that moment that I’d be just fine on this hot and skin-​ashing dry «ninth island.»
All the «local» favorites from back home are on the menu. To include; manapua, musubi kalbi, laulau, Kalua pig, haupia and even Hawaiian Sun drinks. Not just Orange Passion either! They’ve got the works!
The food is plentiful and mouth watering. It is just as you’d expect it to be if you were back on the islands.
It is reasonably priced and made quick to order. I ordered the typical Hawaiian breakfast; eggs, rice and spam. One for my kidlet and one for me with an extra egg thrown in. I also ordered two regular sized drinks. As you’ll see from the pics… we ate every last morsel! My total bill was just under $ 20.00 and worth every penny.
The restaurant itself on Maryland and Sahara is easy to find, clean and the décor is, well… expected lol. The woman behind the counter was kind, but I’ve never ate in at an L&L in Las Vegas in which they didn’t bring your food to your table. She called out for me to pickup my order when it was ready and that was just… unexpected.
Normally, I frequent the L&L on Maryland and Flamingo, but they were closed for renovations.

The worst L&L in Vegas. The bathroom was so dirty I couldn’t believe I was in a restaurant because my mechanic had a cleaner shop. If I wasn’t late and starving I would have went somewhere else. The BBQ Chicken was no where near the best L&L I have had. Sad because a location like that should be a cash cow for the owners, I’m sure it was dead because of the cleanliness.

I have been going to L&L locations in vegas for years now, and while most of them serve the same thing there are subtle nuances to each place (sauces, service, food quality). This place is my favorite, because they make the best kalua pork and homemade teriyaki sauce! Unfortunately, that is the only thing I order anymore because I find the other menu items to be «hit and miss» (good once, bad other times). The service there is also very poor as well you will often find the cashier annoyed or busy talking. I just go to get my kalua pork and run!
Pros:
1. Kalua pork is amazing!
2. Homemade teriyaki sauce is amazing!
3. Macaroni salad is amazing!
Cons:
1. The service sucks.
2. The neighborhood/​location sucks.
3. Every once in a while they make a sucky dish.

Im an islander and this place holds up. Almost feel like Im back at home. Misubi was good, and I also had their cheeseburger. Had a taste of the husband’s Loco Moco. It didnt take long to order and get the food. They’re pretty good if you want something that tastes homemade. Ate there last weekend too but their Mahi Mahi burger was a bit on the salty scale. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu. :)

It’s an L&L, need I say anymore? This one is the same as any other locations, with the addition of some shady characters that hang around outside sometimes. The food is cooked to order because it takes a while to get your food. You get big portions for the price here, but I just wish the garlic chicken had more garlic flavor. Most bites just tasted like normal BBQ chicken to me since there was no flavor at all. The chicken was tender and well cooked though. I would come back if I was in the area which is one I tend to try to avoid for obvious reasons

This review is based on what I ordered. I ordered the chicken katsu curry. Curry on the side. There wasn’t much people there. The chicken katsu and everything is the same except for the curry sauce. I did notice that it was watery. Normally it’s a thick sauce. I’ve been to summerlin and southwest. Those are the only two so far that I know of that has thick curry sauce. But overall, everything was good!

I ordered the BBQ Chicken Bowl and i barely finished half of it. The rice was overcooked and soft, the chicken was not good quality and they put to much sauce on it and it tasted like teriyaki not BBQ Sauce. My Roommate bot the BBQ Chicken and he said the same, we will both not be returning. ALOHA KITCHEN on Maryland is MUCH BETTER! $ 4.99, You get what you pay for here.

Coming from Florida, we rarely have a good Hawaiian restaurant so every time I’m on the west coast, I always try to find one. L&L was my first Hawaiian restaurant I’ve been to, and this location does not disappoint. The staff that took my order was very nice and my order came out quick, hot and delicious. No complaints about this place at all.

I’ll keep this short.
The loco moco was absolutely disgusting (and I LOVE loco moco). The hamburger had obviously been frozen in its lifetime, the gravy was flavorless, and even my sunny side up egg didn’t taste good (how do you mess that up?).
I also ordered a spam musubi (again, I LOVE spam musubi), and that again was really lacking in flavor.
The only thing I actually ended up eating was the side macaroni salad. I tossed everything else after a couple bites. :(That goes to say how sad my meal was.

I have come to the conclusion that L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is the McDonald’s of Hawaiian food.
There’s really nothing special about the food at all. It’s not necessarily cheap and the flavor is lacking in nearly all of the different items I have tried. Often times, as is the case with the barbecue chicken and even in the spam musubi, the meat is crispy and doesn’t taste very good.
Needless to say, despite the convenience of it being near my house, I will probably not be eating here again and can’t recommend it to anyone.
Aside from the establishment’s food, this parking lot has to have more homeless people in it than any other lot in the city. Just a fun fact!
