About L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, established in 1952, is a local eatery with a rich history, previously serving as a trolley bus stop and taxi stand. The restaurant, although small and in need of renovation, offers a simple ordering process and ample parking. The food, while not particularly moist, maintains the standard quality of L&L, with menu options such as mochiko chicken and BBQ mix plate, although the lemon chicken was unavailable during the reviewer's visit. A meal for two costs around $30. This location is considered the birthplace of the franchise and is known for its generous portions, which sometimes make the Styrofoam containers struggle to stay closed. The service is quick, and the food consistently hits the spot, making it a favorite for many. Despite its somewhat run-down appearance and tiny kitchen, the authentic vibe and large portions offer good value. It is often regarded as the best L&L on the island, where every dollar is well spent, and the experience feels true to the Hawaiian style.
