L&l Hawaiian Bbq - Houston

First visit and this place is just okay. We were pretty excited to try a few things after finding it via Google. The reviews convinced us to give it a try. The real star is the mixed bbq plate. The meat is well marinated and the chicken is very tender. I would definitely get it again. The Loco Moco is so bland! The meat, eggs, and rice are not seasoned at all. The only seasoning is the gravy and they are very stingy with it. There was so much rice without gravy, unfortunately. The katsu musubi was okay. The cheese burger and fries are a cheese burger and fries. The guy at the counter forgot our drink and we had to come back for it. The plus side is that the portion size is plentiful, so you do get your money's worth. I was very impressed with the amount of fries included. The mac salad tasted weird, but perhaps that is a difference of taste buds. It was vinegary and sour, like it had gone off. However, I think that it was made that way, I hope.

This is my favorite restaurant since I?ve lived in Hawaii. Glad to see more popping up in the mainland! I live in austin but visit everytime I go to a city with an L&L. The bbq mix plate and spam musubi are my go tos.

Exactly flavors I was expecting. So yummy from the comb mixed platter to the chkn katsu salad even to the kids cheeseburger meal. It was giant. Great portions. Have to come back to this place.

Food always cooked well and taste great. The portions are always plentiful, would prefer more sides though.

My friend is from the native lands and was very excited to share this comfort food with me. We drove over an hr to get there. There was a line so we assumed it was going to be good. They were out of EVERYTHING. The only options were fish or shrimp and very basic pork or beef. I am very unhappy with the experience. The person at the counter did not have anything to say about why they were out of the items not could they offer anything off the menu and we fumbled through five or six meal options and they were out of them all. Do not waste your time. The vegetables were obviously previously frozen...steamed and tasted like water. The beef was dry and very fatty. I would say get the pork and cabbage but I would not make a trip for it. Very dissatisfied.
