This is the superior L&L experience, both in terms of food and service.
I’ve lived in Washington for about two years and have tried just about every L&L around the Lacey/Tacoma area, and this location is THE ONE. It’s not just the way the food tastes—it’s how carefully everything is prepared. Even the cabbage is cut exactly how I like it: shredded, not diced into tiny cubes.

Order chicken and a pork bowl. Very tasty and just the right amount, since we are traveling through town.
Great service and huge portions. Good solid Hawaiian BBQ.

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is a popular restaurant known for its delicious and generous portions. The menu includes options such as the BBQ box, BBQ mix platter, and chicken katsu, all served with rice and macaroni salad. The restaurant is well-known for its authentic Hawaiian-style food, with recipes that have been passed down for over 50 years. It is a clean, family-friendly place that is wheelchair accessible, with plenty of parking in the strip mall. Customers often praise the friendly staff, making visits enjoyable.
The food is often described as amazing, with the Curry Chicken Katsu, Loco Moco, and Chicken Katsu sandwich being favorites. The smaller location in Lacey is cozy, but the larger Tumwater spot offers more seating for bigger groups. Even the smaller locations serve good food, with the half & half plate with BBQ and chicken katsu being popular. Other recommended items include tuna poke, musubi, and malasadas. The sauces are praised for their quality, and the restaurant's location near other shopping makes it easy to enjoy a meal after running errands.
Recent reviews highlight the large portions, with one customer mentioning that a single plate could feed them three times. They noted that they could have used more sauce, but on returning and requesting extra, the staff really took care of them. Others remember visiting the restaurant during their time stationed in Hawaii and now enjoying it back home in Kansas, wishing there were more Hawaiian options there. Many customers find the food fantastic, with portions being very generous. Some mention that the chicken can be a bit cold or lacking sauce, but overall the experience remains positive. The staff works hard in the kitchen, and the restaurant provides a casual, friendly atmosphere.
