L&L Hawaiian Grill Opens In Katy This Week | Eater Houston

"A longtime Hawaiian chain founded in the Liliha neighborhood of Honolulu in 1976, this Katy outpost is the brand’s first Houston-area location and part of a mainland expansion that began in 1999 and now includes states such as Washington, Nevada, Colorado, Tennessee, Texas, and New York. Announced via Facebook, the restaurant at 2404 Texmati Drive is slated to open on Friday, though hours have not yet been confirmed. The concept centers on Hawaii’s take on a barbecue-style plate lunch: grilled or fried proteins like chicken katsu and barbecue short ribs are served with two scoops of rice and a chilled, creamy hemisphere of macaroni salad. The broader menu also offers cheeseburgers, kalua pork, fried shrimp, and loco moco (hamburger patties topped with fried eggs and brown gravy over rice), with generous, aloha-infused portions." - Amy McCarthy
