Got the katsu mix with double the macaroni. I like they put the sauces on the side for the chicken katsu and bbq chicken. The service was prompt and quick. The restaurant was nice and roomy. I would order again if I'm around the area. Been going to L&L since 2000 in Los Angeles and Orange County area. Must try if you're an old fan. read more

I got a popup on my phone for BOGO for this place, and after driving there they wouldn't honor it. Apparently they are franchises and not required to honor. I was really loooking forward to trying it and leavng a review, but we walked out when they wouldn't honor it and ate next door at Pho Minh and will write a review for it. Manager responded below just stating only select..like i said, franchises can either honor or not...this establishment does not honor and i recommend you stay away from locations that do not honor promos by the company that pays for the advertising of the promo. It wasted our time and was quite disappointed. This establishment will likely fail...hope a more customer oriented establishment moves in. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Got the katsu plate been coming here cause of the good portion size but today got like less than half of what I'm used to getting - Hawaiian Near Me - Temecula, California

Came here during the week last week. I had been meaning to come here for awhile, but finally made it out. As I entered, to the left was the seating area, while to the right side was the fountain drinks and condiments and the ordering area/cashier was straight ahead. I was the only one in there and at the time, there was only one person manning everything...the register and the cooking. Although it was just the one, he assisted me quickly with ordering and got to cooking right away. Service was quick with this gentleman.. I ordered the Chicken Katsu plate to go. There was a scoop of mac salad, a couple scoops of rice and a generous portion of Chicken Katsu that was cooked perfectly. With the rising costs of things, I get the price being that it is but it helps for the amount they serve you. The restaurant was clean and service was excellent. I didn't have the experience others may have had and wouldn't mind coming back to try more. read more

I came here on a weekday when it wasn't crowded, which is ideal for me. I ordered takeout. My order was packaged nicely and accurately. They have the best deal for spam musubi! Although I do prefer the taste of spam musubi and the katsu sauce of other businesses, their macaroni salad in my opinion, is most delicious. Overall, their food is tasty and well priced. I would order here again. read more

I am an L&L addict, loved all they offer, today ordered kalua pork with cabbage, very disappointed. 1. They put very little kalua pork. 2. The pork was bland only taste the smoke and nothing else, mixed so much with cabbage. 3. The mac salad was also bland. Nothing but the rice was cooked perfectly. I want my money back please. This is not the L&L we've grown to love in LA where we used to live. read more

I love l&l! Their Mac salad is the best. I usually get the spam musubi and the loco moco. And you can order the eggs cooked your favorite way too! on They have a lot of other options as well if i feel like switching it up. They're always nice and chill here too. read more

Being from Oahu, I grew up eating at L & L and was very excited when this location re-opened. I have the L & L app and signed up for their Shaka reward program. But was disappointed when I made a purchase and when I told the cashier: Denise about it, she informed me that they don't have a scanner and it applies only on online orders. I ended up going to the app and had to manually add the purchase information to get points. I went on L & L website and filled out there "Contact Us" form to get clarification on why the points program only applies for online orders. It does state the following on the L & L website when you click on "Learn More" for the app: "Earn points & redeem rewards! Earn A points for every visit and redeem those points for free stuff!" read more

Something happened here in the last month. They changed the way they make their katsu chicken. The way it was before is the way I've always known it for 20+ years. The way it is now is different. Is it different good? No. It's bad. Really bad. They even package the sauce differently now too. Hmm. This may have been our last trip. read more

ONLINE MENU IS NOT ACCURATE. There was a four dollar difference on both of my ordered items then what it said online, if I knew that I wouldn't have ordered a head and drove all the way here for a 1499 plate that is mediocre. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Hawaiian Near Me - Temecula, California

I really don't like writing bad reviews but when you spend $43 of hard earned money for a bad experience it's kind of hard not to:( This was our first time and we were so excited! When we walked in we were the only ones there. We ordered katsu plate, spam masubi, drink, and garlic shrimp plate. We went to grab our drink and there was no ice and the drinks weren't coming out. She said oh sorry and had to turn it on and said we don't have ice. So we drank warm soda. It would've been nice to offer us a cold bottled one from the fridge instead! After that we waited awhile which is fine, but we would see the cook on his phone. It also didn't come out that warm? The flavors were a bit dull as well. Also, there was no music and no tvs on so it was pretty uninviting and quiet in there. I hope they can fix the issues because i want every business to succeed, but i won't be trying again sadly. read more

Ordered Katsu Curry and it was perhaps the most bland thing I'd ever tasted. What's worse is that the flavorless curry completely destroyed any crunch to the katsu. This is a relatively newer item to their menu which I was excited about, but can't stress enough how disappointing it was. Mac salad was also on the blander side. It literally could be elevated with simply cracking fresh pepper over it and a little salt. I've had other L&L locations, and this was by far the worst. Lazy? Or just poor menu options? read more

Called about 5x starting at 9pm. Not a single answer. Went in, saw there was no reason to be not picking up the phone. Just pick it up and ask to place the customer on hold. Ordered a side of fries with the bulgogi sauce. Got home and had a side of fries with no sauce. What is going on here? Wasted time and money. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Hawaiian Near Me - Temecula, California

Oh L&L... we REALLY wanted to love you. First off, the owners/staff didn't open this location at 11am. They unlocked the doors at 11:16am and couldn't invite patrons in until 11:30. Once we were able to order, our order took ONE HOUR to complete: from order to delivery. Once we received our food, a side order of malasadas was completely forgotten so we had to wait an additional 15 minutes for those to be ready. When we finally got our order, we were one malasada short of a full order. My husband asked the cashier if we could snag one more malasada for a complete order and they said "well you have to wait then." It took 15 more minutes of us waiting and we got ONE malasada out of it "because we wanted to thank you for your patience." Oh.. honey, no. We just wanted to get a full order! We will NOT be back and please, don't waste your time here. They need more staff, a better work ethic and Big Island BBQ is better anyway. read more

Friendly service good food. Chicken was flavorful veggies a bit bland but most steamed veggies are.

We love L&L Hawaiian BBQ... I ordered me a cheeseburger and fries, doesn't come with a drink. I also ordered my daughter a BBQ bowl.. However, I had fries and didn't get any ketchup... Asked for ketchup, they didn't have any... A cheeseburger doesn't come plain... I don't understand why this one didn't come with lettuce, tomato or onion... When I use to get it before.. so I know what it comes with.. I spent 32.05 for food that wasn't even worth my time going there... I told them I didn't want this and they refused to give me my money. I didn't even touch it.. I will NEVER ever go there again.. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - No one makes a plain cheeseburger - Hawaiian Near Me - Temecula, California

We were greeted by a very nice and friendly looking young man at the cash register. I haven't been here in a while so I didn't know that the owner changed! My daily special that I had known was not updated yet and he was really patient with me... I accidentally thought garlic chicken was the BBQ chicken so I told them and they were so kind enough to remake my order for me. My L&L is a bit rusty it seems but, the 2 hardworking gentlemen were awesome! My hubby got the loco moco with scrambled eggs. We really enjoyed it! I will definitely be returning to support their business! Great food and great customer service here guys!! Please be patient there's only 1 chef and he's cooking delicious foods that I feel it's worth the wait... Mahalo read more

I have always been a fan of the L&L chain, but my last experience was not good. Ordered chicken katsu and bbq chicken. The food was bland and the katsu sauce was in a gelatin state. Just do better, please. read more

Okay. Got the loco moco and spam musubi. Spam was as thin as paper. The rice was complete mush, tasted like straight chemicals, you could pick the whole slab up in the loco moco with a fork and it wouldn't budge. The meat straight up tasted like a school lunch burger. I overall would recommend any other Hawaiian food place in the area :/ read more

Ordered take out and the service was great for an in and out experience. The loco moko is must get.

Was craving Hawaiian food today and L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was the best option in the Temecula area. Great service and friendly! Thank you!

Great service. Friendly staff. Food was fresh and really good. Lot of food in the regular lunch meal.

As a Pacific Islander, L&L is the closest I get to having the food from my island. I treat myself to such unhealthy but delicious food from time to time and expect nothing less when it comes to L&L. Not for this location though. What in the actual.....? My order was: Chicken Katsu Curry (curry on the side), Lumpia, and Malasadas. Chicken Katsu was bland, Mac Salad was bland. Curry sauce? Hella salty. The Lumpia was on point but let's be real, it tasted like the one you buy at Seafood City Supermarket and cook yourself. Truly, I believe it was from there. Now, let's discuss the Malasadas. What in the actual....? The donuts were blackened, definitely burnt that it made the sugar look like it was cinnamon sugar. Oddly enough, while there was sugar on the donuts, the donuts were bland. Having the sugar on them, the sweetness was absent on these donuts. I bit into them, I had a sponge in my mouth and was wringing out nothing but oil. To worsen the blow, I had a bitter aftertaste that lingered on the palate of my mouth and the tip of my tongue. I tried to drown it out with my fountain soda and it got worse mixing the soda with the oil. Yes, you're right, it was bad because the donuts were fried in days old oil. I am new to this area of Temecula. It was a Friday evening, 7pm, and NO ONE was dining there. I wondered "why" to myself as I waited for my food. Well, there I had it. The experience I had speaks volumes as to why there was ZERO presence in there. The cook needs to lay off the smokes or something because he has lost his taste buds. It was not cool to have experienced this, especially since I've had nothing to eat all day and was excited for my treat. So disappointed! Never again!! read more

L&L really stepped up there game with the new management. The cashier service was way better than before, we were immediately greeted which was new to us from this place. Food took less than 15 minutes to be ready and the manger is super friendly and helpful. I ordered the katsu plate but meant to say katsu mix plate and they were happy to help me get the right food. The flavor has always been okay but now is even better. Cant wait to come back. read more

Went in on Monday for lunch, half the menu was not available. Ordered a fish sandwich and it was subpar at best. Daughter ordered garlic chicken and it tasted like 100% garlic no other seasoning or flavor. Stay away from this place. Would have left no star if I could! read more

Don't waste your time coming here. I came here last night and the restaurant was absolutely dead. No one in the lobby and no one at the register. Lights were on, nobody was home. Not to mention that it smelled like decomposing raccoons and armpit in the lobby. 15 mins for the food to come out, meh. The taste of the food and sauces were less than mediocre. Worst part, is that the food got me sick. It was either the macaroni salad or the chicken not being cooked through thoroughly enough. A couple hours after, I was on the verge of puking. I was hunched over unable to move. Still feeling it this morning.. $16 dollars later, I'd definitely not suggest this place to anyone. read more
