L&L Hawai‘ian Barbecue — Restaurant in Hawaii

People who take orders here can’t talk and understand English. So if you make an order that is out of their normal menu, get ready to be disappointed. Today I ordered in front of the Cashier of chicken Katsu only. Katsu no rice I repeated 5 times. I got a Katsu musubi. I never mentioned musubi at all. My second order was mini loco moco all rice no macaroni salad. What I got was with macaroni salad. I respectfully said this was not I ordered and she yelled at me, “well if you want another order you need to pay separate.” I said, “no you made a mistake with my order but I’ll take it as I don’t have time to wait.” She talked so loudly and screaming at me in front of other customers with her language I can’t understand. So unprofessional. And why they put a really young boy with a red shirt in there taking orders is beyond me. He looks like under 16 maybe 12? This place is going down the drain and their quality of food is really bad. Two days ago I had 3 pieces of foul smelling steaks on my NY steak and eggs order I couldn’t even give it to my dogs. I had to discard in trash.People don’t really have much options in that area as the other local restaurant just closed down so they think they can just easily give Poor quality service and get away with it. I have been a loyal patron for years and this was where I’ve been getting my food 3 times per week but never again. They literally defrauded me and embarrassed me in front of other customers by the mistake they made even if I was cool about it. ...

I found this place on google, while looking for a place to try some actual Hawaiian food on the cheap. I ordered the Kailua pork and cabbage plate and Spam musubi, my husband got the mix bbq plate, my son got a chili dog combo, and my daughter got a cheeseburger and fries (not pictured). Upon first inspection my meal seemed to have almost no pork, but after a bit of differ I found a lot under the cabbage, it was great with a bit of hot sauce. The macaroni salad was tasty, my kids loved it. My son and I both enjoyed the spam musubi, have nothing to compare it to but I would eat it again. My husband loved the mixed bbq, he said all three meats were full of flavour, and the portion was very generous. My son was a bit disappointed that the chili dog was a hotdog floating in chili, he thought it would be on a bun, but the flavour was there and he did like it. My daughter enjoyed her cheeseburger and fries, it wasn’t too dry like some burgers you find in these hole in the wall type places. I knew I would enjoy this place when I saw lots of locals coming in to eat as we pulled up, and it wasn’t just full or tourists. Thanks for a big and delicious lunch L&L...

We had been enjoying the beach, sun and beauty of Kona but not the food.We were staying in a high tourist area and well each meal for a family of five ran into $100. Just crazy paying so much money for average tasting food. We called upon our version of chatgpt aka Google search food near me and we found L and L which was 5 minutes from the resort. The place is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The place is SMALL so if you have 5 in your party like we do, seating was difficult especially with a big belly like mine. We ordered the protein plate and chicken Katsu. Let me tell you the food was prepared quick, hot and with so much flavor. The chicken breading was awesome and not that heavy. The meat on the protein plate tasted like it had been marinated all night. The portions were big and rice was light and fluffy. The meal was like $60Ish which was cheap compared to the other meals. The food was so good we visited again after a day at the volcano. Look as a Texan in Kona, Hawaii, I tell you, go eat here. It's better than the tourist restaurants around the resorts. The local flavor...
