This place is so unorganized. It used to be great but the last 6 times we put in orders they've either been messed up or didn't go through at all. Today is the last time we order from this place. It's not worth the hassle, stay far away!

Great service! Fast! Great food!

I go to L&L BBQ in Santee often. I love their katsu chicken with the curry. Also like their Moco loco. I don't normally stay there because there's not that many shares and the TV's very loud. I normally just go and wait for my food and leave. The service is good. Everyone seems to be very nice. I definitely recommend eating there. If you're in that plaza that's probably the best place to eat right there in that area. What I like the most about it is that it's the only Hawaiian place around that area so it's unique.

I was trying to decide where to eat in East county and looked on Yelp. This place popped up so I decided to give it a try. I've been to the one over by College Ave before and liked it fine. I got the Poké Bowl because that's something I always enjoy and not a lot of places have it. The poke itself was fine although a bit gristly. The Rice was totally plain white rice which would have been okay except there was no sauce on it nor were any offered to me in little containers so it was very very bland. I happened to notice the poster on the wall that showed what it was supposed to look like and it looked totally different than what I was served. It had sprinkles of seasonings and sesame seeds on it and looked much prettier. What I was given was just a bowl of rice with some raw fish on top and no seasonings at all. I don't expect fancy food here but I expect it to at least be well presented and flavorful. The girl who took my order was very nice. I thought I took a picture but didn't find one when I got home so somehow I lost it.

They want a RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE FOOD. The food isn't that great for the price. I can live without L&L.

So I waited to sleep off the frustration, because had this been written last night, it would’ve been very mean.

I worked at this L&L when it first opened, for almost a year and a half, so I know and understand how frustrating it can be when people come in towards the end of closing. Last night was really the last straw for me, I was calling to place a phone order starting around 8:30pm(they close at 9pm). For 10 minutes, while driving to the location, no one answered. When I got to the location and walked in, the young man who works the front told me that they were closed, at 8:40pm. I said, “Wow, that’s a little early!” He said it was because they were short staffed, they had 3 people there, visible. I ordered something next door also, so after getting back in my car closer to 9 to figure out what I was going to eat, it was only then that the same young man came out to bring in the signs and lock up the front doors.

Turning away people when you’re still open just because you “dont want” to, is a crazy business practice. And I wish I can say that this was the first time this has happened.

Great lunch stop, food is good and hot, service is friendly.
Parking lot sucks at noon takes a bit of time to find a spot.

I always order the katsu chicken plate with rice and macaroni salad. The large plate is enough for my husband and I to share and still have leftover chicken!
