Always happy to order from L&L, Musubis are great. Always get the lumpia as well with quick service.

So I come here a lot, my favorite is the loco moco. This is a classic Hawaiian favorite. It's always spot on and always filling. Total comfort food at its best. These guys will customize any order so feel free to tell them if you have any food allergies. Great customer service and great vibes. Also I'm born and raised in Hawaii so I know a real loco moco when I eat one. This is the real deal. If you flew to Hawaii and ordered a loco moco there, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference from the loco moco you buy here. I love this place. Check them out! read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Loco moco with Hawaiian Sun canned drink - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

As always delicious and nostalgic. Dad and I have been going to this exact location since I was 5. And as almost always we would get the chicken Katsu. Normally a large and split it or as I got older my own mini. And now we're sharing a mini. Funny how life is. This is my first time in the location since they remodeled and while it does look nicer dad and I agree that we miss the original mural and the home like feel of a hole in the wall. But it's still delicious and great as always. read more

I love this food the loco moco is elite the service was pretty good it was so cozy tasting the ambiance is perfect for bbq

It isn't like Hawaii's L&L, but this will do! I've tried out many L&L's across three different states and this L&L comes second after Hawaii's. We came in during rush hour and the cashier was able to get our order in and ready to go within 15 minutes. While we waited, the cashier also gave us a drink, which was really appreciated. The area looked like a typical L&L with tables and bench-like chairs. It was also clean despite it being busy. We got the musubi, bbq chicken plate, and teryaki burger combo. All three were delicious! At other locations the chicken and teryaki burger is dry, but this location's protein was juicy. All together it was about $25. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Hawaiian BBQ Chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

i ate at l&l on maui/dairy rd for 11 years, eating regular chicken cutlet, with extra gravy over both chicken/rice twice a week. i don't eat at this l&l as frequently but everything tastes the same, a favorite lunch spot!! read more

The food was great, service was quick, and the staff were friendly. What more could you want?

I'm not sure why the reviews aren't better. I got chicken cutlet with gravy on the side and rice and Mac salad. Everything was cooked perfectly. The lady at the front was so welcoming and kind. The restaurant was clean and cute. Will be back, often. read more

L&L has always been one of my favorite Hawaiian fast food chains because the quality and taste never disappoint. Don't get me wrong-- I still love everything about this place.. the quality and taste of food and the ambiance always makes you feel like you're in Hawaii LOL I'm always here ordering the short ribs, chicken katsu or mixed BBQ plate with their super yummy mac salad! But of course if you're on a diet, they do offer low-carb options where they replace all carbs with veggies :) Now why the 3? The food took extremely long to come out and felt as if my husband and I had waited a good 15 to 20 minutes for our food to come out with a not so busy restaurant. I wouldn't have minded if the customer service was up to par reminding us of our order but it really lacked that. If you plan to order here, just make sure you order ahead of time. read more

Got food poisoning! 6/16/25. Ordered the LauLau plate and spam musibi with spam samin. The rice in both the plate and musibi was not hot at all and felt hard. LauLau was super dry. Ordered and ate dinner around 7:30pm. By midnight that night everyone in my house was sick throwing up all night. I spoke with a friend who also ordered the same time and said her family was also not feeling well! This really sucked! Especially being apart of the Hawaiian community, this use to be a good spot for local kine food, but unfortunately standards have dropped drastically. read more

Being limited to what is available, I can't complain much about this restaurant. Everything we've had was yummy. Granted, the kid behind the counter blew his nose right before handing us our food...that cost you a star, but at least it was already boxed up. The teriyaki sauce is a little more fluid than I'd like, but the flavor is there. read more

There's lots of options in this area. This place offers a nice change of pace with it's menu. You can eat inside or there are some small tables outside. You order inside at the counter. They'll call you when your food is ready. We should stop here more often. I'm always impressed with how fresh everything tastes. I had the garlic shrimp this time. They give you plenty of shrimp. It was very flavorful. I had to order musubi too. Love musubi!Delicious! read more

I got the Chicken Katsu plate, and there was SO MUCH chicken. I definitely was not complaining about that! I liked the macaroni salad and rice that came with it, but I wished that it came with some sort of veggie or slaw. My friend got the bbq bowl and that was good as well. The sauces were delicious. In comparison, we paid the same price and I got double the food with my plate, so I'd recommend that. The tables were a bit dirty and we had to ask the server for cups for sauce and napkins because they weren't stocked. But we were happy because the food was very good! read more

Not bad. Ono Hawaiian is better. Got the bbq mix. The Mac salad could be better. The meat was good. read more

Not my favorite Hawaiian spot. The beef was grizzly and just tasted like soy sauce. They don't have steamed veggies. Mac salad was good. But was literally just mayo and pasta. Just didn't wow me. I prefer other places. read more

L&L BBQ is basically our family's happy place -- Hawaiian comfort food, big smiles, and portions that make you wonder if they're secretly trying to feed your neighbors too. The beef, chicken, mac salad, and rice are all my kids' favorites (and yes, they do fight over the last bite of mac salad). Bonus: it's surrounded by a bunch of other restaurants, so if one family member claims they "don't like BBQ" (we still love you, Steve), they can wander off and find something else. Meanwhile, we'll be over here living our best mac-salad-and-teriyaki life. read more

Excellent service. Great food. Good place to go for those who observe Lent. Ambience isn't bad, but the food was what I was more interested in. Food came out quickly. read more

Been here a long time ago so wanted to try it again. What a mistake! First got there and noticed nobody was in the restaurant. Well there were three young employees half sleeping in the dining area Ordered the seafood plate. The meat was tasty but very fatty. The shrimp were ok but there wasn't any shrimp sauce. The fish was ok but rather tasteless. The tartar sauce didn't help much. Overall not very good. I can now see why they didn't have many customers. Won't be coming back read more

All these reviews talking about they need to learn better english... y'all are unbelievably rude. I had the best service and the most kind employees ever. So what if you struggled to understand their broken english. Learn another language! The food was AMAZING I will be back and I WILL be ordering more. The inside was clean ( I didn't go to the bathroom so can't review it) and tidy. It was a slow day but it was soo worth it to stop by! read more

My food was burnt and tasted burnt. I could only eat a few bites and couldn't stomach anymore. So I decided to go next door to panda express and get me something to eat there because I was so hungry. I'm Hawaiian and from Hawaii and cannot tell you how disappointed I am with this place as it should represent a taste of Hawaii but does not in any way! read more

Eww, nothing to write home about. I shouldn't have had such high expectations but we were heading back from Prescott and decided to stop in. I called in an order and they had it ready to go when we got there. The food was still hot, the service was good. We ordered spam musubi and 3 plates, chicken katsu, loco moco, and the seafood mix plate with short ribs. I asked for the mixed plate to do double Mac salad...when my husband opened it up, he only had one order of mac salad and no rice. He was very disappointed but we could do nothing at that point. My loco moco was another disappointment as the hamburger patty was a premade hamburger that was tough to cut into. I prefer to go to a place that makes their own hamburger patties. The flavor was ok though. All in all $50 some bucks for all of that and me just wanting good local food from the islands. Take me back!! read more

Just ok. Do not get the lumpia. $5.99 for a mushy mess. Kalua Pork had zero flavor. Chicken Katsu good. Macaroni Salad ok. The place was clean and the service good. A lot of different food options on this little strip. This place was quick. read more

Very good to excellent Hawaiian-Style fast food! I don't think I have yet to find such good Hawaiian fast-food in the Valley, except for Hula's! I think that says a lot! for more than half a century starting with a small shop in Kalihi HI to a bunch of locations on the mainland, they offer an assortment of goodies including but not limited to Shrimp, Combos, Kalua Pork & Cabbage, BBQ Chicken, BBQ Beef, SPAM Saimin and my all-time fave Loco Moco. My wife ordered the Katsu Chicken, and both of us were flabbergasted at how exceptional it as. Perfectly crispy, excellent breading seasoning, incredibly tender chicken - just an all-inclusive greatness! It's tender pieces of deep-fried perfectly breaded and seasoned boneless succulent chicken, with a side of great piquant katsu sauce. My fave dish Loco Moco was savory and delightfully and lightly seasoned hamburger patties over steamed white rice, topped with superbly prepped brown gravy, along with two fresh eggs (any which way - I prefer over-easy), along with a very well-prepared Mac & Cheese. Wow! I hope they open more establishments in the Valley - especially closer to my home. read more

We got 2 combo. One with chicken and other one sea food that again comes with chicken as the 3rd meat in that. Ordering was cumbersome as well. Staff at the counter was not clear in asking the details and was not very communicative. Somehow my wife ordered. Food was just okay. Chicken was very juicy and tender and I loved it. However, sea food was not up-to expectation. I would definitely recommend to try chicken here. But be prepared that it is not the best Hawaiian food you should expect. We have been to Hawai last year and we have tasted one of the best food there and that can't be compared to what you get here. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We were so excited to give this place a shot today and we drove from Chandler just to try it. Unfortunately we were disappointed. I'm not sure if maybe we got yesterday's food or if it's just not very good but it wasn't. We split a BBQ chicken and katsu plate and the BBQ chicken was OK but the katsu was dry as cardboard. The teriyaki sauce wasn't teriyaki at all, it was more like soy sauce with sugar and very watery. The macaroni was OK and the rice was good but that's about it. Manapua wasn't good either, again think it may have been from yesterday. The place was clean and we were the only people in there when we got there but soon after there was a long line. I read reviews before we came here and was very surprised when our experience didn't match the reviews at all. My husband tried to share with the young man who was working that they had some work to do because it wasn't very good, but the guy just ignored him. That is unfortunate because constructive feedback matters. read more

Delicious food and wonderful service! The spam musubi is perfection! Can't wait to go back!

Just. Like. Home!!! The only place so far where I can get good lau lau!!! L&L is pretty much just like any L&L in da islands. I got the Hawaiian plate (always been my fav). The lau lau was so ono (tasty), and even though it didn't have butter fish, I didn't even miss it. The Kalua pork is perfect, the rice nice and sticky and the Mac salad is definitely da kind...Not that mainland stuff they sell in the grocery stores. I also love that they have several flavors of Hawaiian Sun on hand. It's the perfect addition to any plate lunch. Need a lil slice of "home" or a taste of the islands...Go!!! read more

Seafood Combo The chicken was good but I was disappointed in the small thin piece of fish I got. The breaded shrimp were good and a nice size. It took them 15-20 minutes to get my order to me. The macaroni salad was average and they like to fill in the empty spaces in the box with shredded cabbage which I didn't care for. read more

I got the garlic shrimp plate and was super bummed that I had to peel it. Like to the point that I didn't eat it all because it was gross to peel. The Mac salad had no flavor and the rice was still crunchy. Not a fan. Won't return. read more

Love L&L! Best Mac salad ever. I get the mix plate with all Mac salad. Then get a katsu musubi on the side.

I love the food here. Any time I go to Happy Valley I get food here. It would be a 4 star if they would take better care of their tables, bathrooms and outdoor seating. I go because of the food alone.. I get the half and half platter with bbq chicken and chicken katsu. It comes with a bed of rice and Hawaiian macaroni salad. It's a big plate. 2 can easily share. read more

it would be so much better if the plastic forks they give you were usable. It is next to impossible to cut anything with them.

Worst L&L I had, just name it Mulan Chinese place. The spam mushubi was total disappointment! The seaweed wrap and the rice was just not the perfect one. It was Stale and wet, rice was just too soggy.... Chicken Katsu had some awesome crispy coating and perfect! Try it out and let me know read more

I lived in Hawaii for years and have been to L&L's all over Oahu and this place is NOT what I remembered. I live in Chandler and we were up in North Phoenix today and it sprung on me that there was an L&L in the area so we drove to extra 20 something minutes so we can go to L&L. This place is a far cry from being representative from any of the L&Ls in Hawaii! The kid behind the counter looked like he was bored out of his mind and didn't want to be there. The menu is similar but not like it is in Hawaii. I got the katsu and barbecue chicken. First of all, the utensils were something like you would see at a kindergarten lunch room. Flimsy and tiny. Hey guys and fast a few extra bucks and some decent plastic wear. When it came out it looked decent but then once I got into it it all went downhill. Neither of the chickens seemed fresh in the least. The katsu was like old cardboard with panko crust on it. Dry as dirt!. The barbecue sauce and teriyaki sauce at the pump at the counter was like watery soy sauce with a little sugar in it. Teriyaki sauce is usually a little thicker and so is barbecue sauce. I ordered the Manapua. On the menu it said steamed or fried. Not only at L&L in Hawaii but even rainbows or any other maunapua place, I have never seen 'fried'. It's baked or steamed. The texture if the dough on them reminded me of when I used to make homemade slime with my kids out of glue and some other stuff. The inside which was supposed to be pork was about the size of a thimble and all dried out. On my way out the door I walked up to the kid that worked there and said that was not very good. This is nothing like the L&L I remember in Hawaii you guys need some work. He looked at me and then acted as if I wasn't even there. I kind of stood in front of him again. I said, did you hear me? He just turned away and ignored me. AND THAT MY FRIENDS IS HOW YOU LOSE A CUSTOMER FOR GOOD! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND misplace it all. I never thought Ono was quite the caliber of L&L once I left the islands. But now I know it's far above and beyond over what should be its strongest rival. This is the only location in the valley, and there's no wonder why I'm surprised that place has even stayed open. Even while writing this, I'm quite certain that the owners or management don't give a rip about any reviews. But I guess if anything else it will save some of you guys out there a bad experience. read more
