The food was good and the service was friendly. Considering the other reviews, I guess we got lucky with our orders.

Favorites: Grilled Salmon "healthy plate" has brown rice and green salad as sides. Kalua Pork and Cabbage all white rice l, chicken egg rolls, egg fu young. That's all you need to know! Get "to go" and eat at home, coconut island or at another nearby park.

On July 1, 2023, three of us embarked on a journey to visit all 12 L&L locations on Big Island and eat one order of musubi at each restaurant. This was our 8th stop on our 11+ hour journey.This is hands down the worst location on island. The food court atmosphere is so unpleasant. There is an arcade/kids fun zone attached and there are kids everywhere and all screaming. The bathroom was filthy. Nothing here is nice.The food tasted fine, but is the most expensive location on island and not worth the extra money. If you are craving L&L, just drive 10 minutes to the downtown location by the farmers market. It is so much better than this spot.Service was fine, they didn't really want to give us any stickers, but it was still ok service. I would avoid this location at all costs. Sorry if you are the owner reading this, but this is just not a great location.

L&L is a delightful choice for lunch. I got the mini chicken katsu, and the portion was more than expected! The mac salad was good, the chicken plentiful and crispy, rice was on point, and the katsu sauce is the best I have found on island so far :)

The service was good but the food ??. Got fish n chips, Terri beef plate and spicy chicken plate. All 3 were horrible ?? chips was not salted and undercook, fish was bland and not at all how a fish n chips should be. Ended up throwing all 3 plates away. Their spicy chicken was pretty much sweet chilli sauce mixed with bbq sauce nothing spicy about it and their beef was dry and just as tasteless. Their prices doubled and you would think the food would at least be better then fast food, should’ve went to McDs instead. Save your money and go somewhere else. Still got a strange taste in my mouth from the Terri beef my daughter couldn’t finish.

Went there mostly for the boba teas. Mango is the best!

By far the most expensive L&L I’ve ever been to (we’ve visited at least 7 locations on this island) with the worst food and longest wait. I usually love L&L fries, but not a paper bag full of soggy, floppy fries for $7.0/10 recommend ??

Not a fan of fast food but when in a hurry I’ve had good luck at L&L… unfortunately this trip wasn’t one of those times . Food was cold and not fresh . Staff was friendly but seriously overworked due to scheduling issues .Probably won’t return

Asian chicken was a little dry but all in all not to bad.

It's local style fast food. Generous portions for the price for those with a hearty appetite...or two meals for the price of one for those with a smaller appetite.

Michael Bodine

Reasonable prices and portions. Counter staff were always friendly and helpful. Food was good quality.
