I respect the concept and the long history of this restaurant. However, I wonder who is currently in charge of operations. With the increasing number of branches, I question whether the people still involved in this role possess the same passion and enthusiasm as the original founders. I think this is a difficult problem for many restaurants. To be honest, at this particular location, I find the language and customer service to be very rude. I’ve used this restaurant many times, but the food preparation is slow, and the order of service is often inaccurate, so I use the pickup service to avoid getting upset.

6/11/2023 Update (5 stars): Lau Lau and Pork Kailua (macaroni salad, 2 scoops of rice) for $15.50 is a great deal! Portion is large enough for 2-3 meals. Seasoned well, served hot, and fast service: upgrading to five stars.
Original Post (4 stars): I ordered the 2 item combo this time. Portions were ginormous. The mochiko chicken was a bit overfried and dry, but flavorful. The egg on the loco moco was perfect, but the gravy lacked flavor, somewhat. For an L&L, this location has the best quality and fastest service I’ve found so far. I’ll certainly be back to try many other items on the menu.

We walked over to this restaurant for breakfast just after it opened at 0830 on Memorial day 2023 (Printed menu says breakfast served starting at 8 am but the hours posted on front door are 8:30 – 9 pm). We walked in and ordered one breakfast combo plate and one omelet with bacon. The breakfast combo ($8.45) included Spam, Portuguese sausage and crispy bacon, 2 eggs served your way and lots of white sticky rice. The omelette plate ($8.75)was made with bacon, sweet onions and zucchini and served over lots of white sticky rice. It took about 10 minutes to receive our take out order. There were only about 7 customers in the restaurant so it wasn’t very busy. It’s located across the street from Whole Foods.

Ordered med-well new york steak + garlic shrimp combo plate. Partner ordered bbq chicken saimin + additional egg. Steak was seasoned exceptionally well. Food tasted incredible and at very good prices. Don’t underestimate this location despite being a fast food chain.
This is the best L&L Hawaiian I have been to during my time here. Place is also air-conditioned so it is very comfortable.

local fav with huge portions! if you get a regular size plate, theres really enuff protein for two adults. maybe get one plus extra side and you got yourself +1 a hearty meal. so kudos for being a bargain meal in the middle of ward center. This branch has a large dining area thats pretty clean. also the cooks at this branch make really solid chinese diner style stuff like sweet and sour chicken or pork. aloha homies.

Fried chicken is good for people who love crispy fried skin
the amount of one plate in small size is a lot
I think one plate is enough for two.

Do you dig a Hawaiian plate lunch? If so, find the nearest L&L. This one in the heart of Wards is wonderful. I recently discovered mochiko chicken and this location has it. Oh my, what a wonderful treat. Their service is great and everything on the menu is better than anything you’ll eat at the resorts.

I ordered the chicken katsu plate via Uber Eats. This location has always served me the best chicken Katsu. Today it tasted like it was re- fried. The breading was so hard and falling apart. The chicken is so dry and everytime you pick up a piece, all the breading falls off. Messy presentation and messy to eat. They should be ashamed of serving this using Uber Eats so you can’t complain in person some pieces didn’t even have chicken.
I called to let them know but she just made excuses.
Was my go to, not anymore!
