It's going to pain me to write this review. As someone who has lived on the west coast and has…read moreplenty of L&L chains to visit, this one has got to be one of the most disappointing. I put in an order on the app at 11 on the dot and ordered two items- a mix plate, and a katsu/chicken bbq plate. It's now almost an hour in and it's still not done... I am questioning how service can actually operate when it takes this long for two plates to be made. Meanwhile, I've slowly seen a bunch of plates come out for people who ordered in... not quite sure when they ordered, but when I arrived, no one was at the counter for a few minutes and then someone finally came along and saw my order receipt. I will say, while I love the chain, this specific location is unacceptably slow. The bbq mix plate is also almost $30 which is a hard sell, considering it's a lot cheaper currently in places like San Diego... I'm extremely disappointed and I don't like to give negative reviews, but customer service is lacking the check in that could have alleviated my frustration (since I was told the wait would be 15 minutes tops). I wouldn't recommend L&L in Annandale unless they made changes. Service is too slow, there's a lack of communication, and the meals are way too expensive. Again- I hate writing negative reviews, but time is valuable, and a fast casual place should be better equip with adequate staff with honest timelines. I am a believer of second chances, so please make this right.

I was so excited when I saw a Hawaiian food spot pop up near me. The closest I knew of was in…read moreAnnandale so I jumped at the opportunity. I got some trustee items, and I sort of wish I would've tried the Loco Moco because that would have truly told me whether or not I would be able to come back to this restaurant. As of now, I MIGHT stop by/order from here in a pinch BUT I wouldn't go out of my way. Let's begin. Location: it's located in Navy Yard. It's inside of Takorean. They make it easy to order online. It's giving Ghost Kitchen. Food: I ordered two spam musubis, two ahi bowls, and two bulgogi steak bowls: Spam Musubi: I think someone forgot an ingredient... Or two. The rice in these was extremely bland. Further, I'm typically used to there being some sort of sauce/glaze, usually tastes a little similar to teriyaki, between the spam and the rice. That was not the case here. Also, the spam was way saltier than normal. I love spam. It's one of my guilty obsessions, and I eat it about once a week. Yes, I know it's not good for you. However, I say that to say that I know how it typically taste. This was incredibly salty. I might have noticed it because that sauce that I previously mentioned was missing. Also, the rice was super bland. I don't think anybody put anything in the rice, including salt. Not that you need salt necessarily with a super salty piece of spam, but you get me. Ahi bowls: this tuna was so damn dry. DRYYYYYY. The flavor was good, but it was so incredibly dry. It was definitely overcooked and had nothing to do with it being delivered. In the bowl, there is salad, two scoops of rice, and a scoop of macaroni salad. The rice in the bowls was good. The salad was also pretty good. I really liked the dressing. However, the macaroni salad needed some help. I don't like Hawaiian macaroni salads that are overly seasoned, but this one was bland and had no seasoning at all. It tasted like someone over-boiled macaroni noodles, mixed some low budget, mayo in, and let the mayo set in overnight. It was definitely drier than I expected. Bulgogi bowls: Now, Kau Kau... if you're just selling Takorean's bulgogi, then say that. Because it tasted exactly the same... maybe slightly sweeter. Same comments as before re: sides. And again, it hurts me to say that about the Mac salad because I love macaroni salad. That has been one of my favorite food since I was a little girl. My dad's family lived in Hawaii and my Aunt is Hawaiian, so we ate Hawaiian food pretty regularly. Mac salad is my jawnnnnn. The salad was the best item and it's not supposed to be. This place just didn't do it for me this go round. I might be down to try the loco moco in the future but not sure.

Service wasn't great- we didn't get a text that our food was done and the employee didn't call out that our order was ready.

Both of the musubis tasted absolutely delicious. I was especially fond of the way the rice is so crisp and toasty on the outside, covered in rich seasonings and toppings and yet is so soft and goey on the inside. The multitude of flavors and textures compliment each other very well and it's clear that each dish is a meticulously hand crafted labor of love. The plating of it all was also beautifully done, from the seasme seeds to the sauce drizzle it all was very elegant looking. Overall if I had to describe the experience it was like eating a dish with the authenticity of a home cooked meal but with a chic and elevated look. 10/10 would buy again and I can't wait to see what else Lei Musubi has in store for the future!

I took a quick look at the menu and decided on a fish taco and a jerk chicken taco, with a Hawaiian shaved ice to-go. The tacos were actually pretty sizeable and at a reasonable price point. I love the fish taco, but the jerk chicken in the other taco was a little dry to me that day. Either way, I enjoyed my food and was GEEKED out when I walked out with my shaved ice. Loved everything about this place and will definitely return in the future!
