Description

Specialties

Inspired from the islands of Hawaii, Hawaiian Barbecue is L&L’s brand of unique fusion of Asian and American dishes prepared with a unique island flare. The eclectic flavors of Hawaiian Barbecue are synonymous with the cultural cornucopia that Hawaii is famous for. The delicious treat from the Hawaiian Islands that locals and visitors to Hawaii have known for years is derived from the Hawaiian plate lunch — the comfort food of the islands.

The traditional Hawaiian plate lunch consists of two servings of rice, a serving of macaroni salad, and features a generous serving of a hot entrée. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue® plate lunches are famous for its large portion sizes, freshness, and unique blend of tastes found in dishes like Chicken katsu (breaded chicken w/​special dipping sauce), «Loco Moco» (hamburger patties, two eggs, & gravy), and mahi mahi (w/​tartar sauce). L&L Hawaiian Barbecue’s® plate lunches are also infused with an «ingredient» unique to the islands — the warm spirit of Aloha!

I have been to this one in Norwalk & the one is long beach.
Personally I like this one best. The staff is friendly and actually makes time ask you questions about how you want your egg on the Loco moco. The other place just makes it ! This place was pretty clean. The food was good. I only gave 4 stars cause the Mac salad was really bland, it has no flavor at all. But, every thing else was ok.

I go to L&L in Cerritos every now and then for years now until I stumbled upon this L&L near my house. They give you bigger portions and better service. Will be going to this one from now on.

Awesome food, you definitely get your money’s worth here. Love the katsu mix. The Loco Moco is another one of my favorite things on the menu. This place can get busy at lunchtime due to the courthouse nearby. Please dont let the crowds chase you away.

Friendly staff and great Hawaiian food! Everything is cooked to perfection. Combination plates and special menu items are of particular interest. When we walked in, the young lady at the counter was smiling and very attentive. She gave us great menu suggestions too! Keep up the good work guys!

In love with L&L!
Their chicken Katsu is so delicious. Crispy fried chicken with their sweet and flavorful katsu sauce. Their plates are served with white rice (or brown for an additional charge) and macaroni salad. Don’t be afraid to ask for all rice if you don’t like macaroni salad like my self: p
We also tried the BBQ Chicken this visit, and it was a great decision. Perfectly cooked BBQ chicken, and their volcano sauce goes amazing with it.
The Volcano sauce reminds me of a spicy, tangy BBQ sauce and is extremely appealing to your taste buds.
Plates come in Mini and Regular. A Regular plate of chicken katsu is easily two meals for me personally.
Definitely a must try if you haven’t yet!

Massive amount of food for you money and all of it good.
Friendly staff and for a tiny place in a strip mall, I was greatly impressed.
Got the seafood combo plate with short ribs and my husband got the pork bowl and we shared. There was no way we were able to finish all of it and it seemed like we barely put a dent in some of it.

5 stars for consistency, value, and customer service.
Generous portions in every meal. The chicken Katsu is enough for two people to share. The Mac salad has a good flavor and hides the tuna that can sometimes be tasted in other Mac salads.
Meals prices range from 5 to 9.95, the sodas are 99 cents and the order of spam masubi is under 3 bucks.
The cashier is always very nice and she always gets your order right.

Humongous portions of food here. Even the mini plates could easily be shared. I tried the Kalua pork mixed with grilled cabbage and it was great. I ate from that plate for two days after. My kid was dying to try the ramen burger and he loved it.
Place is small and feels a bit divey but the staff was super sweet and we got our food fast.

I have been to this location several times and I greatly enjoy it.
The staff is friendly and prompt even when there is a long line for order placement.
I have tried both their BBQ chicken meals and Katsu meals. The quality of the meat is good and not as fatty as some of the other locations I have been to. I have recently found a very nice deal on the kids menu where you get one piece of katsu or chicken BBQ and a side (rice/​mac/​fries). Two meals come out to around 8 bucks and I always add an additional scoop of mac with my rice. The total comes out to less than $ 10. What a great deal!
The cleanliess of this place is superb. They really care about their business and diners. I will be a forever customer at this location.

Really good food my bowl was packed full.
Only thin was customer service. Not sure if it was my tattoos or if the cashier was being rude. Asked what was good never had been she said she like many of things asked if they had bowls all she said was yes. I could look at the menu only thing was didn’t bring my glasses today. Thanked the cashier in the end to get a rude look. Food great cashier sucks ass.

Cleanest L&L I’ve been too, and also one of the more tastier ones too. I always get the chicken katsu, and their chicken katsu was so much better than other L&L experiences. There was a perfect mix of meat, fat and breading. The chef must really know what he’s doing. Cashier was friendly, and food came out on time.

Thank you for the restaurant make over. I’m so happy that the new owners and staff changed everything and exceeded my expectations:
1. You can feel your hunger when walking into a brighter, cleaner and sanitary environment that smells good.
2. Staff has the Aloha spirit and is much more pleasant and inviting when walking into the restaurant with a greeting, friendly ordering process that isn’t complicated, and exceptional customer service.
3. The menu has all the local favorites including some special additions that’s tempting to try.
4. The quality of the food tastes like the original and they give much more food. Seriously, I think the mini size is soooo packed it could be a regular plate. (See photo attached.)
Overall, this place has revamped into a gold mine. It’s always packed full of people. And never had any problems. Great job on the improvement.

Best service ever!!! Even with long lines, they were fast and helpful. Katsu was very tender and juicy. Try their Mac salad… is buttery. Must order Spam Musubi, taste is authentic. Better than most L&L in SF

Was I in the area and craving some spam musibi.
The décor is your normal L and L. Yellow. Nothing amazing but they were following the branding rules.
I ordered the Katsuya mini plate and 2 piece spam Masubui. It wasn’t super quick, but very tasty. The portion was huge. In fact, I couldn’t finish either. I was only able to eat 1 of the Musubi. But overall it was one of the better L and L that I have been too.

Came and grabbed lunch to go here last week. I ordered the «mini» size plate of chicken katsu with rice and macaroni salad. My bill was about $ 9 with a drink. I couldn’t have waited longer than seven minutes and my food was ready.
Drove back to my office to eat it. The portion was huge! And this is a mini? I ate slow while I worked, but nearly an hour later I still had at least half the chicken left. Everything tasted great, especially the macaroni salad, which is what I really came for.
This restaurant is a tad far for me to go on lunch, so while I will go back, it won’t be often. And I think next time I will call my order in to save me time.

Woah the portions here are HUGE!
I love meat in general so I would recommend it for those people that just can’t get enough of meat! :)
I’ve tried their Rice with Beef and Macaroni! I seriously enjoyed eating here, but I was so full after! If you get the Large portion it’s a bit too big so I’ll recommend getting the REGULAR size instead because that’s enough for one and a half persons lunch/​dinner portion! I will definitely come back for their delicious food! Next time I’ll try their other dishes!
Customer Service is actually pretty above average, the lady who took my oder was kind and nice! :)
