L & L Hawaiian BBQ — Restaurant in Oʻahu

My first visit to L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Kaneohe Windward City Shopping Center was truly a memorable experience, and it introduced me to a culinary delight I had never tried before: the Ramen Burger with Fries. From the moment I took my first bite, I was hooked.

The star of the show, the Ramen Burger, was unlike anything I had ever tasted. The combination of the crunchy, slightly sweet ramen bun with the savory burger patty created a flavor explosion in my mouth. What stood out to me the most was the unique texture of the ramen bun—it was both crispy and chewy, providing the perfect complement to the juicy burger. Additionally, the "noodle kick" added an extra layer of flavor that elevated the dish to new heights. It was a delightful fusion of flavors and textures that left me craving more.

Accompanying my Ramen Burger were a side of fries, which were equally delicious. Golden and crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, they were the perfect accompaniment to the main dish. Each fry was seasoned to perfection, adding an extra burst of flavor to every bite.

While I was busy indulging in my Ramen Burger, my mom opted for the Kalbi plate, a classic Hawaiian barbecue dish. She thoroughly enjoyed it, savoring every bite of the tender, marinated beef ribs. The flavors were rich and savory, and the portion size was generous, making it a satisfying meal.

One of the aspects that impressed me the most about L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was the affordability of the menu. Despite offering high-quality, flavorful dishes, the prices were reasonable, making it accessible to everyone. This combination of great taste and affordability is what sets L&L apart and makes it a go-to spot for a delicious meal.

Overall, my experience at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was exceptional, and I will definitely be returning. From the innovative and delicious Ramen Burger to the classic Kalbi plate, every dish was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs. Add to that the affordable prices and friendly service, and you have a winning combination that is hard to beat.

Whether you're a fan of Hawaiian barbecue or looking to try something new and exciting like the Ramen Burger, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is the place to go. With its flavorful dishes, welcoming atmosphere, and reasonable prices, it's no wonder that my first visit won't be my last. I highly recommend giving it a try—you won't be...

After visiting the nearby botanical gardens I was starving and in need of some good food. This was the first time visiting an L&L restaurant and it is what got me hooked on the chain. The menu is expansive with so many options to choose from. Between two people we decided on a "Bar-B-Que mixed plate" and a "Kalua pork with cabbage" meal. The portion sizes were huge and it meant we had enough left over for dinner. Each meal came with rice, macaroni salad and the mains. The Kalua pork with cabbage was delicious. There was so much flavour and it was cooked to perfection. They were very generous with the amount of meat in the meal. The Bar-B-Que mixed plate included short ribs, chicken and teriyaki steak. Each was as delicious as the other but the flavour of the steak was a winner. The person taking our order was friendly and efficient at what he was doing. The dining room is very casual and no frills. I would absolutely recommend L&L for anyone in Hawaii...

Disappointed in the service here. I've been to many L&Ls here on island and usually get great service. This was not the case here. Came in around 7:30pm after a long day at work to grab a Loco Moco with fries instead of mac salad (not a big fan of their mac salad), but was told they don't do substitutions. This is my normal order at every other L&L and they never have a problem with it so I'm not sure why it's different with these guys. Got the food home (only a 5 minute drive) and started eating my food and it was the worst food I've had from L&L before, had little taste and overall everything just tasted dry. Even though this is the closest L&L to my work I'll take the extra drive down the road to get food at the one next to Ross for better service and better...
