My wife and I were looking for a good place to order in, but we wanted to try some thing off the…read morebeaten path. I had never had L & L, it seems like this might be a chain, but the pictures looked interesting and different. I got the barbecue plate, my wife got the Three's Company Combo, and we ordered spam musubi to split. The portions were very large, and all of the food was really tasty. I was very surprised by the spam musubi. It was the perfect handheld appetizer, and I dipped it in the barbecue sauce, which made it even better. All of the meats were cooked perfectly. They traveled pretty well also. I am not used to getting Hawaiian food delivered. I would say the one knock on L&L not being five star is the price. The combo plates are very expensive. A combination plate was $20. Now, the portion sizes are large enough that you can have some leftovers for lunch the next day, but I would have rather a more affordable combination plate.

I'm conflicted between this chain and Ono. First off, the food is amazing. At least what I ordered,…read morewhich was the teriyaki beef plate. It was tender, flavorful, and a pretty large serving. This is your typical hawaiin bbq with hawaiian music playing, license plates and surfboards on the walls, and just the hawaiian bbq ambiance. Although it was small and not a place I'd want to eat in at, it was clean. Service was alright. I could barely understand the lady behind the counter, but she seemed friendly, and the cook seemed happy, so maybe that made the food good. The BIGGEST UPSET is the PRICE. I paid just under $22 for my teriyaki beef plate. I could get the same thing at Ono Hawaiian BBQ for $13 taxes included with similar taste and portion. For the price, I'd rather get 2 plates at Ono vs 1 plate at L&L. Honestly, I probably will not be back due to pricing.

I can usually make 2-3 lunches out of it for $15. But I'm writing this review to say that the staff working here 5:45pm on Sunday April 12, 2026 are above and beyond friendly and helpful. Everyone's always nice here but the vibe is just awesome today. Dulce and Erika helped me order and I can't see anyone else's name tag in the back but they're great too. They have new touch screen giant iPad things which is pretty cool as someone doesn't love social interactions with strangers. However there was something confusing about my specific meal choice in the app so one of the women saw me struggling and quickly came and took my order the old fashion way, with a smile. Normally Ono can take a little longer than a normal "fast food," restaurant to get your food since they're actually cooking a lot of it, but today, even though there was a family of 6 in front of me my order came out really quickly. I'm on an ebike and I was able to get a table next to the wall outlet so I can add some juice back onto it. Also randomly they have the best napkins.

Not this location's fault but I don't know where else to put this:…read more They discontinued the fresh mix salad and replaced it with your standard-issue grocery store spring mix salad. Which is disappointing, and was the thing that stood out about Ono. Now there isn't anything that draws me there as opposed to any other place that serves salad with great protein options. Hopefully corporate rethinks this, but again, not the fault of any particular location or its staff.

Each dish arriving at our table was presented in a beautiful way, flavor upon flavor with every bite, and the atmosphere was very inviting, including excellent customer service!

When we arrived, the entrance was constantly blocked by the hostess and security chatting. One staff member told me to head to the bar to order, but security then acted like I was doing something wrong. A little communication between staff would go a long way. At the bar, I was skipped twice while waiting to order. When I pointed it out, the bartender told me to "hold on" while assisting a 3rd walk up after me. I asked if we could move to an open table with table service as there were many empty for ghe hour we had already been there and was told no because they were too busy. Fair enough, but that's exactly when management should be visible, coordinating staff and helping guests. Instead, when I spoke with a manager, the response was essentially that he was focused on the bar area. Good management oversees the entire operation, especially during peak periods. I was one of 5 people in our party who spent around $100 on food and drinks (apx $500 spent in total), yet the service was a mess. If it's self-service, that's fine...but make it clear and make it work. Instead, I was skipped at the bar while ordering, staff gave conflicting directions, and there was virtually no support once we had our food. We found ourselves constantly going back and forth to the bar for drinks, utensils, soy sauce, and anything else we needed. No one checked in, and getting help from staff or management was nearly impossible. The food was decent, but the customer experience wasn't. Venice Beach is always busy. This shouldn't come as a surprise. If you're going to market yourself as part of that vibrant community, you need the operational standards to match.

The Santa Monica one is more grab and go as it's their smaller flagship location. This business has been carried by the owner Keiko who has brought a slice of Japan outside of the designated communities of West LA's Sawtelle and DTLA's Japan Town! Here (at either location) you will find unique delicious flavors of omusubi but also called onigiri rice balls! That you won't find anywhere else! Rice balls are actually shaped into triangles and stuffed or mixed with simple ingredients like a salted plum called ume (it tastes salty, and tangy with a touch of sweetness) To more engaging offerings like the lucky cat with japanese pickles with fresh wasabi, ginger, and bonito(dried fish that is sliced paper thin) These finger foods can be enjoyed as a snack or grab a few to make a meal. The Culver City Location has a decor that immerses you in Japan. They have a small market section with alcohol such as saki, handmade dishware from Japan, cute claw machines for kids, and expanded meal offerings! Besides Keiko being absolutely amazing, the food is as well! From curry stuffed to fresh shisho leaves and pickled wasabi!!! There's lots to choose from and the best part.,,.they have always had an expansive vegan menu! Yes they are very Vegan Friendly! I love the Eggplant Chili Miso and Wasabi Tsukudani. I highly suggest checking out the Culver City location so you can sit down and enjoy a drink and the ambiance and expanded offerings. After going to this place for nearly 16 years there are rare days where things like the rice may be off due to a mistake, but I've only experienced that a total of 2 times in 16 years so it's pretty rare!

The place is a bit small, tough for larger groups, you'll likely need to split up if you decide to eat there. Been meaning to come back and I don't think there are many places like this, that specializes in Onigiri.
