Not great… I ordered the kalua pork plate and it’s 90% cabbage. For $15.50 i would expect more meat. Also, the menu online does not reflect the current prices. The pork plate is not $13.50 but 2 dollars more.

Not much of an atmosphere, but I like little hole-in-the-wall locations. Gives the mom-and-pop atmosphere. I have to try this place one more time before I decide if I like it or not. I ordered the Healthy Fried Shrimp meal with a side of macaroni salad…can’t say fried foods are healthy…but hey! The plate was 75% ice berg lettuce and a poorly cut, huge chunk of a tomato end , 10% brown rice and 10% fried garlic shrimp and 5% extra garlic and solidified grease. I did enjoy the food but for $19.25 I feel like the price should have been lower because the majority of the meal was ice berg lettuce that’s no more than $2.19 a head. I’m not complaining just sharing my opinion…but hey! Yes, I would eat here again, but not sure how often…maybe just when I get a craving.

I came here to buy hamburger steak without the macaroni salad (stated twice), and left without knowing it was flooded with it, and when coming back for a refund, I could not get one. Food is mid-bad, horrible store and service. If I could, Id rate it less than 1 star.

This L&L is small but there are a few tables to sit and dine in. At first it looks like it’s just a take out spot but when you go in you’ll see the tables. There’s a private parking lot which is always a plus in my book. They have a restroom also a plus!
We came when it first opened so there wasn’t a line. But they did have a few people picking up orders to go. We ordered BBQ chicken and rice, and Spam, eggs, and rice. It’s nothing special since we’ve been to a bunch of L&L’s but I am happy that they are consistent with the food.
They give a good amount for one person. But the Spam, eggs, rice was overloaded with rice. It was two scoops of rice then they put the spam on a bed of rice. So that’s a lot! But it’s all good!
The lady always thank us for purchase but she never smiled. Anyway, that’s is all I can say about this one.

This is our first time to dine at this Castro Valley, California branch. Truthfully, hubby & I had better experiences whenever we dined at the L & L Hawaiian Barbecue along Hesperian Ave in Hayward near Kaiser Sleepy Hollow. Tonight, hubby ordered the seafood platter (fish filet, breaded shrimp) with BBQ beef, while I ordered the garlic shrimp platter. Both platters come with a couple of rice scoops + a scoop of their signature macaroni salad. Pluses of this CV branch: speedy service, very reasonably priced items, above-average servings so that you get more than what you paid for, bold & delicious flavors, especially of the BBQ beef (per hubby), & it’s a relatively quiet space. Minuses: my garlic shrimp was too salty for my taste, the staff could be a bit more friendly, & the decor/lighting could use some “flashy” update so that this branch could be more suitable for lingering, hanging out, & conversation. Overall impact: needs improvement.

My husband and I ordered through uber eats. He got chicken katsu which wasn’t cooked correctly and I ordered bbq beef but got short ribs instead. I had a problem one other time with this location regarding the sides. Why is this place going downhill? Do they not read the orders?

Walked in and to my surprise we were the only customers there so me and my son got the Kalua Pork and my lil cousin wanted fried shrimp. Both were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. There a bit slow cooking but it was delicious and worth the wait.

I gave this place a 1 because I order some food and was waiting for it for about 2-3 minutes and then I saw a huge cockroach crawl across the floor and when I saw it I took a picture of it and then I did not want to eat there so I asked for a refund. I’m so glad it happened so early before they even finish making my food.
I have loved this place and now I don’t. I hate that the picture didn’t show the real size of the cockroach and was clearer but trust me it was huge never seen one like that before.

Aspects of a hole in the wall, which usually pairs with good food. This was no exception. My kids got the popular dish that is fried chicken. It was a generous portion. I would stop there again.

Beware, very poor customer service. The lady who takes the order and the cook guy are both very rude. I went on this store to buy food for my friends, they asked me to get some kind of drink and I don’t really have any idea what kind of drink was it, and i ask the girl and she came out and took the can of juice in the fridge and slam it in front of me, bad experience. This people should speak english in front of the customer… You are in america, country that has different nationalities and personalities, be respectful, speak English.
