Food was kinda average but not terrible. The spam was good, but the orange chicken, not so much.

We stopped in for our first time here and the food was amazing! It was slam packed with people... food was ready quick and hot. I will definitely be back!

Great plate lunches at a reasonable price. Spent $100 for our family of 8 and had leftovers.

Got a platter of different dishes and they were all really really good. Especially the Spam Musubi, Chicken Katsu, Teriyaki Chicken. Great takeout platter for a family style dinner at the house.

The food is really good! Their Saimin was delicious and one of my favorite meals during my visit. The place is tiny, so planning to eat there is a gamble. The food, though, is worth every penny and ounce of effort!

Nestled in the heart of Maui, this restaurant presents a mixed bag of experiences. While some patrons rave about the delicious local cuisine, particularly highlighting the exceptional chicken katsu and macaroni salad, others have reported troubling issues, including cleanliness and service lapses. Frustrations include incorrect orders and poor handling of food allergies, suggesting a need for better training. Despite its rundown appearance, the affordability and taste of the food make it a popular choice for quick eats. Overall, while many enjoy the flavors, others warn of potential pitfalls—so diners may want to tread carefully.

This has to be the worst food I've ever tried. When I opened the box, I hoped it would taste better than it looked, but I was mistaken. It not only looked terrible, but it tasted awful as well. The rice seemed like it was from ages ago, and the chicken was soggy, drenched in what was meant to be curry sauce. On a positive note, the mac and cheese was decent. To the owners and chefs: please improve! It was too expensive to be this disappointing, and I really dislike wasting money.

? Food is delicious! Staff is amazing! But I recommend order the mini plate for 1 person.

I absolutely love the BBQ chicken from L&L. During our one week stay here in Maui, I’ve eaten the BBQ chicken three times for dinner. It makes me wish I had an L&L back home.

Good but there’s a workers kid about 10 years old who kept slamming doors around and messing around. Slapping his hands on the walls. It was over the top messing around.

We ate here every day while visiting Maui. Great food and quick service. We would usually take it to go but there are tables inside and out if you’d like to stay and eat.

Pretty tasty food for reasonable prices. Aside from a few dishes like spam ramen that are unique to the Hawaii locations, this serves the same food as other L&L locations. Nothing exceptional but it's predictable. This was a nice option when we wanted an easy takeout meal to bring to our hotel.

We got two plates and a drink for $36. Food was hot and good. Would eat here again

The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly friendly. As visitors from the mainland, we didn't know much about the fantastic cuisine here, but the woman who took our order was kind and patient in guiding us. The macaroni salad was the best I've had in Maui so far, and the chicken katsu was undoubtedly the best I've ever tasted. I would rate it a 10 out of 10!

First time trying L&L and regret not ordering from way before. Great food honestly. When we see locals pulling up, we know the food has got to be good. Ordered the seafood mixed plate and added bbq chicken and Kalbi

This charming spot offers delicious local cuisine at very reasonable prices, especially compared to the pricier trendy places by the beach. Give this restaurant a try—you won't be disappointed!

This restaurant offers a unique and varied menu, featuring everything from Spam Musubi to Chicken Katsu. They even sell phone charger cables and massage guns! We decided to check it out after arriving in Maui since it's conveniently located right across from our accommodation. It's strictly a takeout spot, and it was quite busy when we visited. We ordered Chicken Fried Rice and Orange Chicken, and although it took about 45 minutes for our order to be ready, I must say the food was delicious. I'd recommend giving it a try, but do keep in mind that there might be a bit of a wait during peak hours.

We were pleased to find that this was one of the few restaurants open on a Sunday night in the area. We really enjoyed the BBQ short rib, chicken, and seafood combo—it was absolutely delicious! This charming family-run business is not only friendly but also works really hard to keep their customers satisfied. Thank you for a great dining experience!

There’s something for everyone at this restaurant, though it lacks any real atmosphere, so it's best to plan on takeout. The food is fresh, and the menu offers a little bit of everything. I’m giving it 4 stars for the quality of the food. We ordered a cheeseburger, fries with gravy, orange chicken, and white rice. The total came to $44 with tax, which isn’t too bad.

This fast casual place makes really good combo plates to go. Pick a protein, pick a side, add a drink and you are done.

Small eating location. Food is very good. Just get it to go. They only have 5 tables. Small location but the line is always there but it moves fast. The wait was 10 minutes or less every time I went. Price of food was the best.
