L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

This place has the BEST Mac salad I've ever had. I love that you can substitute your portion of rice for a second portion of mac salad.

Terrible service. Young lady and young man dont know how to attend customers. Didn't even get decent service bc they acted as if they were annoyed/hating their job.. if that's the case, get a new job. All a customer expects is good service enough to make people feel welcomed, but its as if you gotta tip before you can get the right attitude out of them. I can tolerate that, but seems like im a problem for ordering a simple plate.. hasnt been the 1st time

The best spam musubi & grilled bbq chicken

Review of L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Riverbank

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Riverbank offers some truly delicious food that hits the spot! The flavors and quality of the dishes reflect the charm of Hawaiian cuisine, making each meal enjoyable. I particularly appreciated the variety on the menu, which caters to different tastes and preferences.

However, I did encounter a small issue during my visit. The young guy at the cashier spoke very softly, and I found it difficult to understand what he was saying. It would greatly improve the experience if he could speak a bit louder, as clear communication is key when placing an order.

Despite this minor setback, the overall experience was positive, and I would definitely recommend L&L Hawaiian Barbecue for its great food. If they can address the communication issue, it would make the dining experience even better!

9/30 @ 8:33 pm. I came in 30 mins before closing, and was not greeted, nor "how can I help you." Customer service rated a 1. As a customer, a greeting goes a long ways. Another business that don't appreciate/value your business.

I ordered the seafood combo I asked for the chicken katsu,they tell me my order is ready I look in bag only 2 tarter sauce no chicken katsu sauce I ask for some ,the employee says they charge for it now ! I have been coming to this place for 6 years never have I been charged for katsu sauce for my chicken katsu! But I paid it, didn't say anything. I get home no chicken katsu it was just grilled chicken wth? I will never come back ! The girl who took my order was very rude and obviously I said chicken katsu with my seafood combo ,I was there around 1:15 on July 13 sat!The worst service I've ever had there! Sad

We've been regulars here for 10+ years. We've seen the restaurant before they remodeled it & when the AC wasn't working. So you know we've been going here forever. We've seen different employees working here. There was a period where some of the employees knew we were regulars so they'd give us discounts. The food is always great! Definitely way better than Ono. The new female employee that is currently working left a sour taste in our mouths today. She is not only rude, but is also unprofessional. Upon ordering, we could already tell she was giving us an attitude. Then when our order was done, she swiftly put our bag on our table & quickly walked away. As she turned to leave, we asked her if we could get extra katsu sauce. Her response was, "oh we charge extra for that". Again, we've been customers for 10+ years & never have we been charged extra for sauce. Even if the owner did change the rules per say, there could have been a nicer way for her to tell or ask us. (e.g. Oh we charge an extra $.30. Is that ok?). But nope. They always have a tray of sauce on the front counter & we saw a to-go customer just grab a bunch. Sooo... why do we, as dine-in customers, have to pay extra??! We should have just gotten up & grabbed the sauce ourselves, but we didn't want to bother with a negative employee. ?

*Update* We came back the other day. They finally put up a sign regarding the charge for extra katsu sauce. It's not a big deal. The employee(s) should just ask the customer if they're will to pay for it. Don't just say, oh we charge extra & walk away. You just lost money. ?

Went here with some friends after a workout. My friends got the chicken katsu and loco moco. It was kind of a slow day when we got there, but our food came out quickly and fresh. They absolutely LOADED my friend's chicken katsu and gave plenty of the sides that it comes with. Really good experience overall.
