We have a Hawaii trip coming up and I've been craving plate lunches and I've eaten here twice this week lol I ordered the mini chicken katsu, mini kalbi regular bbq chicken, and regular bbq beef, and enjoyed every bite of them all. I think if I had to rank them though, the chicken katsu takes the top spot, followed by the bbq chicken, kalbi, and bbq beef. What I love about L&L is that the value is still there. $15 for a regular, $12 for small and it comes with so much food. Definitely opt for the regular plate and turn it into two meals. Something I'm going to start doing is asking for two scoops of mac and 1 scoop of rice because even though their mac salad is simple, I can't get enough of it. I end up putting some hot sauce on it and I could eat that everyday. The turnaround time for orders is pretty quick, usually less than 10 minutes, which makes it a good option for a quick yet filling meal. Definitely will be back, just wish they put the roast pork back on the menu because that was my favorite menu item of all time! read more

Primera vez que venimos y me gustó! Un restaurante pequeño, que se encontraba lleno y conseguir mesa en las instalaciones se puede volver complicado. Fui con mi esposo y comimos en las mesas de afuera, pedimos un Loco Moco (que puedes ordenar un con patty o con dos patty) y un BBQ Beef Bowl con verduras (lo cual es pequeñito en porción). Algo que no me gustó es que usan PEPSI para hacer refill de las bebidas mientras que la Coca Cola solo la venden en lata. El restaurante se encuentra como en una plaza comercial, hay estacionamiento y tienen baño. Siento que puedo regresar, no a la misma locación pero si a otra sucursal... read more

I've been coming to this L&L for years and will even drive out of my way specifically to order at this location even if another location is closer to me. In general I also do prefer L&L over other Hawaiian BBQ franchises such as Ono and Ohana since L&L generally gives bigger portions and doesn't skimp out on meat servings by putting a thick bed of cabbage underneath the meat. Parking can be hit or miss in the plaza but parking is usually available on the street. The restaurant is small with a few tables and chairs inside as well as right outside the restaurant. I usually order ahead for takeout and am always quoted a ten minute wait; this location always has food ready by its promised time! The ladies at the register are very nice as well. On my most recent visit I ordered a regular chicken cutlet with gravy (with brown rice). This location has the option of choosing brown rice instead of white rice with no additional charge. Usually the gravy is poured over the chicken cutlet but you can request the gravy on the side if you want. As expected, I had a huge portion of chicken and the regular plate could serve at least two meals. After a 15 minute drive, the chicken still had a nice crunch even with the gravy on top. The huge portion sizes and great customer service keep me coming back to the Millbrae L&L location. Aside from ordering takeout, I've also ordered party trays in the past; I was able to order party trays for pickup the next day with no problems. If the long In-N-Out line scares you away you can always go to L&L! read more

I usually get the kalbi and chicken katsu half and half, and it is consistently solid every time. The portions are filling, the kalbi is flavorful, and the katsu is crispy and reliable. It is one of those comfort meals where I know exactly what to expect. Parking can be somewhat difficult since the lot is shared with In-N-Out, which gets busy quickly, especially during peak hours. I almost always order ahead, so the wait time is reasonable and pickup is smooth. The ambiance is just okay. It is casual and functional, nothing special. The cashiers are fine, not overly friendly but not rude, and service is straightforward. I keep coming back because it is consistent, filling, and a good value for the price. It is not a destination spot, but it is a dependable go-to when I am craving kalbi, katsu, or classic Hawaiian comfort food. read more

For this visit I ordered in advance by phone and it was ready with two sauces for my fried shrimp plate. Nothing to complain about; the food was yummy. Just be aware parking is still terrible. read more

Ordered the bbq mix plate chicken plate and the bbq rib plate the meat was so dry and not good at all. The only thing that was good was the chicken. Very disappointing because it used to be really good. read more

I love L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurants! Been going since 1989 when I lived in Hawaii for graduate school. When they started opening up here on The Mainland, I was overjoyed! This particular L&L is a nice spot for me whenever I take my car in at the service center just down the road. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with a couple rows of tables inside. There are a few outside tables available if the weather's nice enough. I usually get the Mini BBQ Chicken Plate (same thing I've been ordering since Hawaiian days!) and a soda, and I'm happy as a clam AND I don't need to eat anything for the next two meals, heheh! :-) Just writing this review makes me want to check my car's maintenance schedule to see when I can be down here next! Of course, there's always the L&L in San Bruno which is closer to me, but I do like this little tradition. read more

This L&L is odd. They don't have my favorite dressing with edaname on the salad and their portions are super small. Garlic shrimp: basically shrimp with shells tosses in garlic, about 6 of them. Salad was fresh but the dressing is cheaper than the dollar tree. The brown rice is horrible. The BBQ short rib is super dry and only 2 pieces. The Mac was watery and the rice was meh. Do NOT get the coconut pudding. It was super small, the size of the dressing practically and NO flavor. Waste of money. Won't be coming back. read more

I've gotten the half and half chicken katsu and grilled chicken plate here a few times and it's always good. I've gotten spam musubi here and really enjoyed it too. read more

Being from Hawaii, we crave a piece of home through local food every once in a while and L&L provides that for us. So I was a little disappointed when we showed up at 8::25 and were told that the grill was closed because they close at 8:30. So we couldn't get a loco moco, only chicken katsu. We decided to go to In-N-Out instead and will just have to get there earlier next time. read more

Must go to place, best chicken Katsu, very flavorful Kalua pork and good serving size. Very clean, quick restaurant, friendly staff.

The teriyaki sauce that you pay for extra is watered down. I came here craving Hawaiian food, the place was busy so I assumed it would be good. They have a sign that says extra sauce 25 cents, i assumed it was legit sauce and asked for 5 extra packs. Once I opened my meal bag, I noticed that the sauce was watered down. It wasn't sticky or same consistency as other teriyaki sauces I've had at other locations. Even when poured. The sauce didn't taste the same. Defintely won't return for this. read more

Homecooking with fast food convenience, I love L&L. However, would not recommend unless you have time to wait. I ordered ahead, came when they said the food would be ready, and still waited another 15 minutes. In fact, looking at everyone that was waiting for me and arriving after me, it looks like they started cooking only when I walked in the door to pay. If you are a planner like me, in order ahead so that you don't have to wait,, that's really irritating. read more

I thought you can NEVER go wrong with Loco Moco. Boy was I wrong‍ I understand the prices for all the food went up but the quality of this burger completely went out the window. The thickness of the meat is thinner than the spam they put in their Musubi. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - a person holding a container of food - Hawaiian Near Me - Millbrae, California

Since the COVID-19 pandemic started, we've had takeout from this location at least once a month. It's inexpensive, can be healthy and tastes great. Some of the items we have are: Seafood mixed plate; lighter bbq chicken (green salad instead of Mac salad and brown rice in place of white rice); bbq mix plate; Kalbi plate (very high calorie!) We always call in advance and pick-up. When COVID started, the parking lot was a zoo. Now, it's not crowded if you enter on the side street. Portions are very generous and service is quick. Also, unlike many other take-out places, they never mess up your order. I still remember the time our $25 tandoori chicken was missing from a very popular Burlingame Indian restaurant that was delivered by GrubHub. Great take-out and I imagine the catering trays would be a fun option for the future. read more

Im DEVASTATED that they dont make the roast pork anymore! It was the best item EVER!!!!!!! PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!! read more

I went to L&L in Honolulu back in the early 1980s. But I forgot the name. I've been going to Hawaiian/Polynesian/Asian restaurants, food trucks, and Deli's since. As long as I can get my Katsu fix. I'm good. A family environment here. The food is pretty fresh, it's crispy hot, not refried, not salty, perfectly cooked, golden fried deliciousness. I'm very thankful there's my Idland food in different cities spattered throughout California. I'll come back here just for this. This location is near the SFO Airport. Perfect to grab a box right before a big trip. Bart accessible. It's a short walk across the street from the Caltrain Bart station junction. No excuses. They serve Hawaiian Sun sugary beverages as well, in cans! I can not tell you how scrumptious their food is. The recipe has not changed over the last 40 years. I've been coming here. Tell a friend. Open a business. L&L is my place to go. Prices are fair. Portions are HEAVY, hello, these are family portions. The rice is perfect. Always. The Macaroni Salad is to just die for. Parking is suspect here, next door to Panera and In-N-Out plus a full gas station, with convenience store, a car wash, plus workers, cabbies, limo services , and tourists. Enjoy this place. Park across the street! read more

The teriyaki sauce is very watered down The shrimp had all the shell on it Paid $50 worth of food that should be better. Going to the ssf one next time read more

There are certain types of people that won't feel welcome at this location. When a white customer walks in and the staff immediately becomes rude to me while waiting for my food, I sort of get the hint about things. That happens in Hawaii and other AAPI majority areas. The food is alright; the attitude isn't. I've been here several times. The food is consistent. read more

Not all L&Ls have the same food quality. This one is the best for me in the Bay area. I've been to at least 6 others in the bay read more

Great option for a quick lunch or takeout! The portions are big and the price is nice. I really enjoy Hawaiian BBQ, but tend not to go for it too often since the combination of rice + mac salad (which I cannot resist) leaves me feeling bloated after the meal. This last time, my husband and I ordered the Kalbi plate and the Chicken Katsu side salad since I wanted more greens. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the side salad! Will definitely come back and order this combo again. The parking lot is decently large, but can get pretty busy since In-N-Out is in the same lot. Enter from the side street to avoid their drive through line! There are a few tables inside, as well as out front, but not a great place for a large group. read more

I highly recommend ordering online. I ordered my usual today; spam musubi and macaroni salad and they gave to gave me white rice instead of the Mac salad. read more

Nice peeps, tons a chicken katsu in their plate lunch. Order ahead to avoid the lunch rush, but no more than 10 minutes otherwise you chicken will lose its crunchy goodness. Pro-tip for this location, park outside on the street to avoid the madness from the other businesses nearby. read more

I was born and raised and currently live in Hawaii. We recently returned from our Alaska Cruise and had a layover at SFO for the night. I was 'ono' for some Chicken Katsu, so we walked over to L&L in Millbrae. It was absolutely fantastic! Better than any L&L in Hawaii. Perfectly fried, tender, juicy and so much I had the leftovers for breakfast the next day. Chicken Katsu lately in Honolulu L&L's are overcooked, dry and chewy. I wish they could replicate this Millbrae L&L. We definitely will come back whenever we're in the Bay Area. read more

340 Adrian Rd, Millbrae has bad service. Asian lady with glasses is rude and non-caring about customer satisfaction. I picked up my order and asked for plastic utensils and she didn't want to give me any. Finally she said "how am I giving it to you if you are holding the bag". Really! Couldn't just hand them to me. I said nevermind, I didn't care by then. Then she said "if you don't care, why did you ask for them". Don't order or eat here. Maybe with the tariffs, this business is trying to be cheap or cheat their customers to save money if they can get away with it. Go to San Bruno Town Center L&L Hawaiian, they are much more friendly. read more

This is a good, quick takeout dinner place on those nights waiting in line at In N Out is just not going to do. We usually always get the basics - Spam musubi - not as good as when we make it at home, but son likes packing it for lunch the next day Loco moco - you can request over-easy, over medium or over-hard eggs. BBQ chicken Chicken katsu Consistent, average Hawaiian food, served up hot and fast. read more

always doordash and always fucking forget the katsu sauce and no fucking utensils. people are hungry and shits missing that shit be ruining moods frl. read more

This is my go to place when craving Hawaiian food. I'll take the extra drive of 15-20 minutes. For some reason this location, has more choices, the food just tastes better, and doesn't hurt our tummies. Staff that works here say, "Aloha" and actually mean not like when other places staff just look up and say , "Welcome in" because they have to. Typically, our go to here is the loco moco, fried shrimp, chicken katsu, manapua, and musubi. Depending on the weather or how I'm feeling, I'll order saimin or bbq beef sandwich and fries. There is definitely a wait at times, but worth it. Food doesn't taste like it was just thrown together because they had a rush. There was definitely a wait after the warriors parade but I'm not mad. read more

By far when it comes to quality of food and flavor this is the best L&L I've been to I ordered the chicken katsu and it was delicious I'm actually still eating it right now and I'm a big supporter of yelp so I stopped to post this mid feast! Definitely deserves 5 stars and I'm a picky foody read more

My kids love going here for a quick and delicious meal on the weekends. We've been coming here since it opened and the staff is always so friendly and keeps the place clean. Always a consistently great experience. read more

While waiting for takeout from next door, I decided to get some lunch for my son from here and went with a Spam masubi and a bbq chicken masubi. The pricing here is VERY affordable and they have an extensive menu of Hawaiian food. This place is also very popular as there was constantly someone in line to order or wait for their food on a Saturday morning around 11.30am. Based on the photos I have seen of the meat plates, you get a lot of food for the money. The service and restaurant interior is no frills which is fine for a casual place like this. My son loved the masubis and I had some and I found they were delicious. I will need to come back again in the future to try their other plates. The katsus and bbq plates are calling my name! read more
