L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Chicken Katsu - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut, California

I was a new customer hoping to try Hawaiian food here around 8 PM. The business is open until 9 PM, but unfortunately, the service upfront was extremely disappointing. The employees essentially acted like I wasn't there when I was trying to get assistance. At one point, the cashier even left as his shift ended without anyone acknowledging or assisting me. As someone who also has a customer service background, I was genuinely surprised by how disengaged the staff was. I don't know who is managing the front-of-house employees, but there was a clear lack of attentiveness and basic customer service. I ultimately left without getting anything and felt like I had completely wasted my time. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I won't be coming back. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Do not come to this location, bad customer service - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut, California

Your cashiers need to pay attention. Instead of clowning around and talking and not doing anything. Pay attention to your customers waiting for their paid food that they ordered on the phone. My food had been sitting there for a while and to my surprise, the food was already cold. I guess that's what happens when you leave food sitting. Not even an acknowledgement that these clowns messed up. Go somewhere else and avoid this circus. read more

My girls and I have been coming here for years! They love their Spam Musubi ($5.99 for 2 pieces, they also have Tuesday specials for $2.99), and my usuals are their French Fries and Spam and Egg with double rice. Their service is consistently good and the restaurant is always clean. There's always plenty of parking available. I love the fact that I am able to grab a quick bite here then head next door to Home Goods after. Definitely love having this local joint in Walnut! read more

I usually get the chicken plate lunches at these Hawaiian food places. All of these places usually taste very similar and all have been pretty good, with just very minor differences in the taste of the chicken. The chicken here was nice and tender and grilled perfectly. A few other places I have gone to have burnt the chicken a bit, so I like how this place grilled it perfectly. Not a big fan of the shredded cabbage. Also, the teriyaki sauce is kind of weird. It is really watery and lacked any flavor. Rice and macaroni salad were good. Overall, another decent place to get a nice plate lunch. read more

I have lived in Hawaii and I have tried a lot of the local authentic food from not only from the Hawaiian people but also from other cultures that have made Hawaii their home. So I got the opportunity to have authentic Hawaiian food. And I have to say that this place is awesome. It's a small Mom and pop shop that serves just delicious Hawaiian food. The gentleman that work there are really friendly down to earth of course greet you with a smile and they're actually pretty quick when you put in an order. Now if you know about Hawaiian food then you know that the moco Loco , (that's the name of the dish. ) That it's a signature Hawaiian dish. That's what I ordered today and oh my God it was just so good. It comes white rice, two hamburger patties, two eggs covered in gravy and usually the side is macaroni salad sometimes I'll give you some greens other times they just give you extra rice ... It was excellent in every way. It really brought back some really cool memories for me. The best that I've found so far here on the mainland (as the Hawaii people call it. ) The prices are really reasonable. I got the meal some fruit punch again authentic., And a bottle of water just because I was extra thirsty. This is a spot that I'm definitely gonna be going back to since it's in my work area. It's definitely worth trying. So like I always say,,,, If you're in the area and you want some good authentic Hawaiian food definitely check this place out and try it for yourself. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Sorry,,,,, I couldn't wait... I needed to try it... Sooooooo gooooood !!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut, California

My husband and I have eaten here or ordered take out from this location dozens of times, but I've never written a review. I picked up dinner the other night. I ordered a large combination plate with chicken katsu and BBQ chicken. As always, it was really good. The macaroni salad was good. So many places put way too much mayonnaise in their macaroni salad, but L & L doesn't. The chicken katsu was crispy and delicious! read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - large combination plate with chicken katsu and BBQ chicken - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut, California

Been coming here for the past decade; and still my preferred hawaiian FF spots to go to. FYI - If you're getting a lot of musubi's, know that Tuesday is the Spam Musubi special where they're much cheaper (I think $1.50 or $2, not sure if they've gone up though), but still cheaper than a usual day. Actually I think it might even be a 2 for 1 deal, but don't quote me on that...prices have slowly gone up since a while back, but everything's pricier nowadays, so you can't really fault them for trying to keep up. Their whole menu is pretty decent, usually I go for the loco moco and some spam, or get some saimin. But once they had the garlic shrimp plate, I started to really prefer that. It's no Gio's in Oahu, but it sure does hit the spot. Service - Decent, friendly, and gets you what you want. Sometimes they can take a little long to get your order completed, but not sure if that's due to a load of orders or if they just take their time, there's not a ton of people picking up all the time, so I think it might be the latter. Parking - Can get hectic, considering the many stores around it, but it's never so bad that you won't find a spot at all. read more

Ordered a chicken katsu curry bowl that stated it came with rice, veggies and mac salad. I didn't get the veggies and mac salad. A little sad as I was looking forward to the mac salad. Oh well the rest of the bowl was good read more

3 1/2 stars Lots of seating and pretty clean. Reasonable prices and all. I ordered French fries and there were enough for 2 people. Crinkle cut but bland- no seasoning on them. I ordered a double burger. It was plain looking, but tasted good- I was surprised. Both for under $11. I didn't want any Hawaiian food today. I would return here to eat. read more

I love that this L&L always gives so much chicken katsu for their regular plates. Good prices, quality, and quantity. This is my go to when I am very hungry after a long day. The workers there are also nice and the food usually comes out within 5-15 mins. The inside is like a standard restaurant. There's a lot of seats but usually I always take it to go. read more

Wondering food and great service. I had the beef curry and my husband had the beef short ribs. Very tasty.

L&L is my go to for spam musubi. It's the best thing just short of a burrito with all its likeness, minus the tortilla. My daughter and I dipped in here in between shopping today because we were hungry but didn't have time to sit for a meal. Two 2 piece spam musubis it was for us! Service was quick, food was hot, and they went fast - which means they were delish and hit the spot. When I have time to sit and enjoy a full meal I will definitely come back as their menu is extensive and very tantalizing with Hawaiian goodness! read more

What can I say? L&L the OG of Hawaiian fast food. My go to is always the katsu and musubis! Oh, can't forget about the garlic shrimp. This location does it riiigghht! If you're a little health conscious then opt for the Atkins plate, so delicious! read more

The food is delicious!! Loco moco.. on point!! Kudos to the Owner/Management. Thank you!! I would say.. this is a great place with great food!! Love it here!! Had to remove a few starz, due to the workers professionalism.. Unfortunately. Cashier and manager were decent and accomodating, however, the employees on the grill are unsatisfactory these days. Always loud, vulgar language, screaming and laughing. 3-4 beaty little pairs of eyes peering over the counter. The older gentleman is outside smoke breaking frequently, and the other cook walks behind the wall with peoples food(when they annoy him) apparently!?? glad it wasnt my order, sure makes me second guess eating my own meal. Becoming un-comfortable to dine here. Please fix this!! I eat here every week. read more

Went here for lunch with my friend and was in the middle of our meal when out of nowhere, some older guy behind the counter comes out and starts yelling at the staff very loudly? the cashiers at the front looked nervous too which was a shame, they were very nice and attentive to us. My friend and I looked at each other confused, ive never seen behavior this unprofessional at any other restraunt. The vibe of our lunch was ruined after that and we left not long after. As for the food, i got a regular plate and some musubi. The food was good, mac salad was ok, but it was nothing special. Definately wont be back here though read more

Cockroaches!! Came here ordered food and went into the restroom, their was big cockroaches in the restroom. I told the worker and he didn't sound surprised, makes me wonder if theirs cockroaches in the kitchens too. First and last time I come here. read more

I ordered the regular chicken katsu plate. Portion size is worth 2 meals but quality was average at best. First couple pieces of the katsu seemed good and crispy but other pieces were stale and tough. Also, one container of sauce for a regular plate is definitely not enough. Also, there was quite a bit of chatter while dining inside. No, it wasn't from the customers but from the workers huddled together. It doesn't look good in my opinion. read more

I love L&L .. BUT the service can really get in the way of customer experience. This is for this evenings grub hub order. That arrived at 8:40 pm. I specifically noted that each katsu order to have sauce which it would normally get. But out of all three orders we got ONE. AND my dad's hamburger combo didn't get a soda. And it wasn't even filled all the way. My family was disappointed as we were waiting to receive our delivery on this rainy day... and we were excited and looking forward to it. Didn't think this would affect our experience. But sauce is easily the most important part for us. read more

Hi. We ordered the chicken katsu. They only gave us a little bit of chicken katsu but more rice. We won't come here again.

Came here again and like I said in my previous post, stick with the bbq chicken everyone. I ordered the bbq chicken bowl and this tasted MORE NORMAL and standard. While it's definitely not Ono Hawaiian level in my opinion, the meat is cooked and seasoned well. The veggies were also not dirty this time around and they were still warm! Upgraded to one more star because of the bbq chicken. So, do yourself a favor and order bbq chicken so you won't be disappointed by the shrimp meal read more

This is my first time trying Hawaiian Barbecue, I would say this place is okay. The portion is huge which is really good for the price. Service was nice, however, it took so long to get our food, people who came in after us, got their food so much earlier than us. I liked the beef short ribs and shrimps. Inside of the restaurant was clean. My boyfriend and I got the BBQ Mix (BBQ Beef, BBQ Short Ribs & Chicken Katsu) and Seafood combo (Fried Fish, Fried Shrimp, and BBQ Chicken). read more

This place is built on lies. They say they have fresh food when its all reheated, the rice you get at 5pm is the same rice that has been sitting out since they opened, and the mac salad is a gamble of whether or not it will be spoiled. The manager is also a liar, will act nice to customers then turn around and berate staff while patrons are in the building. Nevermind the fact that half the business responses on this page look ai generated. used to be a convenient place for a quick lunch, but i morally cant get behind the business practices. read more

It's been awhile and things have changed. Today we were taken care by Matthew who was a complete difference than Crystal. His customer service was great. Food was a lot better also. The meats changed back to the traditional L&L that we are accustomed to and the rest of the food like the Lau Lau and Loci Moco was on point. Place was clean like always. read more

A litmus to any good Hawaiian grinds is take a look at their spam masubi. As you can see it looks like a 2nd grader created this one. I go to L&L every blue moon, because I keep forgetting how very mediocre it is. Like a bad aloha shirt, take a hard pass. read more

After unwrapping my kalua pork sandwich(photo attached), the bread was wet and soggy and looked as if some one took a huge bite of the sandwich. Very unappetizing to eat. Also, waited 20 min for my order. My first visit to this establishment was also bad, so I decided to give them another chance and turns out, I was right the first time and their food is not up to par, compared to other L&L I've visited. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Walnut, California

I ordered the bbq mix and the chicken, beef, and short rib did not appear to be marinated. No flavor, which resulted in a heavy dependence on their teriyaki sauce. The teriyaki sauce they gave me was freakin' nasty! It was diluted and salty. Imagine dipping meat in tea. I went to the sauce bar to get some new sauce to discover that they did not offer a sauce bar. It left me with the impression that they've gotten cheap and are conserving their resources but are charging $15.99 a plate. Very hard to eat. read more

Healthy chicken plate was burnt and the chicken was crunchy. When i noticed my dressing was missing, the cashier at the front was extremely rude to me and tossed the dressing onto the counter before going back on their phone. I couldnt even finish the plate, so I left and I noticed something right outside the restraunt... it was a rat. Never again. read more

Checked in for lunch and had a great time!!! The dining room was gleaming inviting and clutter free, and Michelle, Niko, and Schwe all did a Fantastic job taking care of Guests and making sure we had everything we needed to enjoy a relaxing and satisfying lunch. I ordered the Cheeseburger Combo and I appreciated how Niko asked Schwe for help on how to charge me for the Combo instead of charging me separately. It's a positive and uplifting Work Culture when Teammates know they can trust each other for help and Trainers like Schwe are so enthusiastically focused, friendly, patient, and highly efficient with their Communication Skills. I noticed the Ice was out in the Machine and Schwe was happy to get me ice from the back and let the Cooks know to add more ice to the Machine! Michelle packed and presented Me my Burger Combo and had Sriracha packets ready upon request. My Cheeseburger was really delicious but missing the grilled onions that I really love so I told Michelle and she was empathetically apologetic and corrected the mistake for me as quickly as she could. I liked how Michelle was really on top of her cleaning and put a lot of mindful effort to talking to Guests and checking in in a friendly and sincere way. She belongs in the Front with her Excellent Work Ethic and Gourmet Conversational Skills! I decided to add a Mini BBQ Beef Plate after and the Cooks paid attention to my Modifications really well too!! The Salad tasted really cold, fresh, and Satisfying and the Beef was served hot and flavorfully on a bed of crisp Cabbage. I ordered it with a side of Brown Rice and was cooked and presented Beautifully in the shape of a Half globe too!! I really appreciate the Kitchen Crew for maintaining a consistently neat Standard of Organizational Excellence. Pedro welcomed me back warmly when I sat beside him too, so it's always extra satisfying having a kind and trusting Bond with the people preparing our Food :0) Lastly, I just really want to thank Sunny the Owner for Staffing the Store courteously on Weekends!!! Especially Sundays for the post Church Crowds :0) Seeing Workers able to take their breaks on time and not getting too overwhelmed with too many responsibilities on their shoulders is a refreshing sight compared to so many Skeleton Crews looking frantically exhausted and overwhelmed because the Bosses prioritize Profit Margin over basic Human Decency. Service is much better when Schedules are planned properly and it keeps us happily returning for our next L &L fix! read more

Last time I visited this restaurant, the cashier was extremely helpful and friendly: she walked me through the steps of choosing the right combo. I also tried their Thai Tea: it turned out surprisingly not too sweet. Their serving portions were actually large enough for two meals at least for me anyways. Pricing I uncovered here to be reasonable: ample parking within 'The Village' parking lots. Location is super easy to find as well since they built a water fountain out front, can't miss them. It didn't take long to receive my order at all: I recalled it was within 20min of wait time. I went on a weekday nite, so there was no line at the cashier. read more

More like 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up! It's honestly one of the Hawaiian BBQ chains that I would always go back to. Probably because Ono doesn't have loco moco. Compared to what I remember from going before at this same location and the Puente Hills mall one, I feel like they've definitely changed things up. The patty for the loco moco seems flatter and the gravy has sort have lost its depth of flavor. Not that it's bad, but it's got me thinking haha. The macaroni salad is always my fav though and it's something that I always look forward to getting. read more

Been to this location many times and not sure what happened today. I ordered my typical chicken and beef combo and it took about the normal amount of time to get my food. There was no one else inside until after I ordered, so it wasn't like the place was crazy busy. I started to eat my chicken and noticed it didn't look like the same thick juicy pieces of chicken. The chicken was super thin and way over cooked, not sure if they cut the chicken thinner to cook it faster or what, but it was so dry. It looked like the cook pressed the chicken to the grill and squeezed what little juice there was out of it. I've had beef jerky with more moisture. Tip to this location, go back to your normal preparation and cooking of the chicken. The beef was fine, just the way they always prepare it. read more

The pricing relative to the portion size you get is good. I liked the beef more than the kalua pork, the kalua pork was a bit tough and didn't have much flavor but I was happy with just the beef. It's definitely not amazing but it's a decent spot to check out if you're in the mood for a Hawaiian plate read more
