T&L Market is the classic hole in the wall establishment. Their menu is simple yet diverse. Plate lunches, dim sum, burgers and fries and even some pastries. The parking can be a little tricky as there are only a couple stalls. Even if you get a stall up front it is a little challenging to back out on to the road. Good thing there are a fair amount of street parking not that far away. I've tried the fried chicken (very good), Teri beef (good), Chicken katsu (good), pork belly, aka lechon(very good), pork hash (good), Teri burger (average), fries (average) and bento (good). The food is not gourmet but it is very reasonably priced. I've visited them on consecutive weekends and spent about $45 on each visit. The food did take a little bit to come out but it was too be expected as I ordered 5 different things. I'd give the service a 4 out of 5. As a whole I would recommend you try this out if you are in to simple comfort food and a reasonable price. Here's a short video of my last visit:

This place is pretty good I never heard of this place until recommended the other day. Good prices, good food and friendly service. Here's what I got: Fried chicken: super crunchy, lots of flavor, part of the thigh was a little dry but the rest of it was super juicy Pork hash (steamed): same as most places Fried noodles: super good, noodles cooked right, good flavor, lots of char siu/spam Spam musubi: spam is marinated, rice was cooked good (some places have many rice) Lumpia: small, but good. I think it was pork & veg w the glass noodles inside I gotta come back here and try the plate lunches

I had the $10 fried chicken plate. Well worth it, especially in this financial climate. The chicken was crispy and had good flavor. I will return to try more stuff.

I like this kind of noodles, kinda dry and subtle flavor. Goes well with hot crispy chicken. Nostalgic deliciousness

Great food for a great price definitely worth the stop! The workers were very welcoming I will definitely be coming back to get more lunch!
Josh D.

Craving manapua truck food? Here's a store front with manapua truck style grinds. Simple items and at reasonable prices. Flavors are ok, little garlicky on the noodles but better than other places I been that was bland and no garnish. Chicken wasn't bad and pork hash was ok but again for the prices wasn't bad for what you get.Very friendly and great service. Limited 2 stalls out front or street park on the side street.
I grew up here yes new owners noodles don’t taste the same but still my favorite place to go!

So I guess you saw my attempt (last week) when I was attempting to get my Garlic Chicken fix @ K & K Kitchen but totally failed!What a difference a week makes, as today I was successful!!! Yay me! Lol!I had bookmarked this joint called - "T & L Market" in Kalihi, because after seeing the pics of da grindz from a few of my Yelp buddies, I told myself that I should check this place out one day.While doing some online training modules in my office, when lunch time rolled around, I told my coworker if he like check out T & L Market?I'd figure if I took my friend with me, if I could not find parking, I would have my friend drive my car around the block a few times while I ran inside to pick up some lunch time grindz for both of us.I guess the parking gods were lookin' out for me, because when I got to T & L Market, someone had just pull out of the parking lot, so I swooped into the parking space! SCORE!!!Upon walking into the joint, the menu is posted on the wall. There were several fixed plate lunch menu items, or if you want to make a custom plate for yourself, they had a lot of ala carte daily items (see my take out menu pic I posted).Don't want a plate lunch? I also noticed this business sold some bakery items (not sure if they make the pastries themselves, or if they catered it in), candy, & drinks.Although T & L Market is known for their noodles & fried chicken, I opted for the Garlic Chicken Plate because I didn't get my garlic chicken fix last week, and I was so craving for my garlic chicken. For $12.00 smackaz, I got two scoops white rice, a scoop of mac salad, & a whole bunch of boneless garlic chicken.My friend opted for the Mini Garlic Chicken Plate ($9.00) which was the same as my plate, minus a scoop of white rice, and maybe a little less garlic chicken.What can I say about the grub?The food here was pretty good, but not great. The Garlic Chicken marinade was different from what I would get from Sugoi's or K & K Kitchen. The garlic marinade was not as garlicky, or sweet, but some folks like it like that. As for me, I just LOVE Sugoi's garlic chicken marinade, so you probably know which I would prefer. Overall, the prices here are very reasonable, and for what you pay, and what you get, I must say it's DEALAGES Yo!The next time I come here, I will try their noodles & fried chicken, because after all, if you check out all the pics from this business, you'll see a lot of noodles & fried chicken pics! Lol!

I was very DISAPPOINTED! Beef stew plate had no flavor whatsoever a whole potato cut in 4, 3 big carrots and 3 little pieces of meat which one them was just FAT! Fried noodles were very very dry. The fried chicken was ok. Only decent item was the pork hash.
