L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

Really tasty Katsu Chicken!! Was recommended to go here by some Hawaiians and it is very tasty! Love their Macaroni salad too that is always my favorite.

Good food... Small place. Little spendy. But most places are. Good Mac salad. Kip (kc) got the lau lau combo plate. I got the pulled pork cabbage bowl. Both were good

After trying to swing by this place multiple times before and after movies next door, the employees putting up chairs and hour or so before their actual closing times has turned us away. This time we actually got in there before chairs are on the table and the place was again empty. The female taking orders took two calls before us though we were there first. Didn't give us any tips, insight or even look me in the eyes. During the ordering. She was very cold and unfriendly. We ordered dine in but got to go containers that were styrofoam and got sliced through as we try to eat our food draining sauce contents under the table making it. It's additionally challenging to take home any leftovers. Food was okay but 808 grinds service and food is much better. The poor service alone will mean my family will never come here again nor will I recommend it. And of course, as we're eating an hour before they close every available table. The employee is stacking chairs on it which is symbolism for stay out. This reminds me of why tips show never be given till after service has been rendered. I feel sorry for the owner. This message is for him or her.

Never order the short ribs it was a box of bones with fat on them, literally just the meat around the bones, I've never seen that before, we also ordered katsu curry chicken and had to throw it away after 2 bites, it had a heavy black pepper taste, no curry flavor. The last dish we ordered was chicken Katsu which was good..The girl at the counter talks really fast and is hard to understand she was barely polite, or maybe that's her demeanor but it's not a welcoming feeling..

The person at the register was so rude. This is supposed to be Hawaiian that's not aloha. I don't see one single Hawaiian working in here and they're supposed to exemplify the aloha spirit. Hell no. Go find another place to eat Hawaiian food.

I just really like Hawaiian food. Their "mini" options are great for lunch. Service is always really quick.

I had a chicken dish and got food poisoning from this place. Do not come here. I was laid out for the weekend.

Just what I was craving! Hit the spot it was a good place to have a lunch meeting. Will definitely return..

This was a solid meal for what it was, but nothing too exciting. The loco moco was a good portion size and had well cooked eggs and plenty of gravy, but the flavors felt muted. The chicken was juicy, but the mix of vegetables was pretty broccoli heavy. The side sauces were also rather mild. Overall, nothing bad, just a little bland for our tastes.

The WORST service and food. Decided to try this spot since it was nearby. What a huge mistake. Should have known when the young girl who took our order was so rude and unfriendly. They were out of noodles. Our order was for two pieces of chicken and rice and 2 sides of the macaroni salad. We also ordered 2 shrimp ala carte and a barbecue beef bowl. The chicken was dry and old without any sauce. The Mac salad had no flavor and the shrimp tasteless. They forgot the barbecue beef bowl. I wanted to scream at the people who were coming in to go to Roxy's or 808 Grinds. Disappointed and left hungry. Should have read the reviews. I have to give it one star I guess for location. Everything else is ZERO!!!

Cute little place. I decided to try this place for lunch. The service was great and friendly! The food was ok/ good. Does the job if you are craving Hawaiian food. We got the chicken katsu and bbq plate. The bbq plate was tasty. The chicken katsu was a little bland in my opinion.

My husband loves their katsu with gravy here. They make it pretty quick and they give you a generous amount. So it's a great value here. Great food, good prices. Their house dressing for the salad is very good too! It's like a light vinaigrette and it pairs well with the BBQ chicken.

I went at off hours on Saturday. They have the menu for you to view outside and there's a weekly special where dishes are cheaper. I ordered the bbq chicken for around $14 and kalua pork for about $16. BBQ chicken: it was fairly tender but not a lot of flavors. I saw them grill it on the spot. Kalua pork: This came out in seconds as I guess they've made a lot of already. I've had various kalua pork around the area and one big thing that's missing was the cabbage. The menu also said kalua pork with cabbage and we got none. Flavor was okay but for the price, it was so-so. Lastly, I think my most favorite was mac salad. I added black pepper for more flavor but it wasn't heavy but it was nice and flavorful. I didn't try any fried things, how was it?

My son was extremely happy to find an L&L here in the PNW, especially one only 25 minutes from our house. We stop by here whenever we make the trek out to Beaverton so that he can get some chicken katsu curry. It's pretty close to the food you get back home in Hawaii. The Mac salad is missing something tho, and the prices are way higher. Since it's the only option here, we just go with it since we don't come out here that often. I would suggest getting full plate size instead of the mini size. The mini plates back home run around $7 ish but the mini plates here run $12! Might as well pay a little more for the full size! If this particular shop was back in Hawaii we would not frequent it, but it's good to have one in Portland that comes close, which is why we will be coming back again.

Tried this place out for lunch yesterday. Will never be back. Got the shoyu chicken plate, took two bites of it, and threw it out. Something was not right about the chicken, perhaps it was old? Service is lacking and the place is a dump. Wish I had picked the Thai place next door.

Gross just gross almost inedible, dry crappy pre-cooked blahhhh, L&L on island is way better what disappointment Go to Bamboo Grove

Sorry y'all want so bad to like this spot but this is definitely not an official L&L spot!!! Unfortunately but so true if you know you will know that it's all about the Macaroni salad and if it doesn't include the secret ingredients, it's just not the same!!! Unfortunately they come very short and I've tried a few times but although the service and food good overall the three stars is based on the name sake and what it stands for but since the taste falls short can't give four stars!!!

The service sucked the lady wasn't friendly , I forgot to take of picture of the laulau. My plate of food was horrible. They warmed up my laulau with plastic wrapped around it in the microwave. The plastic was Burt onto the laulau. They said no refunds. They put down the L&L name for sure they don't live up to the standards of L&L ZERO STARS

Great place to get some good old Hawaiian favorites! Welcoming decor and great staff makes your food tastes even better then it already is. When you craving the L&L this is the place :)

I first visited L&L Hawaiian BBQ down in SoCal. Exactly the same establishment and small chain, it was so-so then, and it's so-so now. Ordered here in Portland from their Beaverton location for delivery. Just an FYI, for whatever reason Uber Eats wouldn't deliver Roxy's Island Grill even though they are practically next door to L&L and actually a little closer to our address. The order was prepared quick and timely, but a few things were a bit off. Here's my take: (1) Ordered the BBQ Mix plate. Not sure if it's always been this way, but the plate was only one short rib, one slice of beef with some stray pieces and two chicken thighs filet cut over some shredded cabbage, two scoops of rice and a scoop of Mac served in a cup. I know meat prices have gone up, but I would have much rather had two short ribs and one chicken thigh. Other Hawaiian places usually serve more than one short rib in their combo plates. (2) Not sure if it's a problem with ordering through Uber Eats, but I asked for extra teriyaki sauce and didn't get any. Compared to other Teriyaki and Hawaiian establishment L&L sauce is thin and runny, flavor is okay, but not as good as the darker thick stuff most of us know. (3) One of the main reasons I ordered from here is that they make and serve Hawaiian Mac. They could have fit the scoop in the main container, but included it on the side. The Mac is also just okay, not bad, but Roxy's and 808 are creamier and have richer flavor. (4) If you order a side of garlic shrimp or fried shrimp, it is only one piece for each side. I would have thought a side would have been at least two pieces for the price. Nope, just one. (5) Unfortunately they still use styrofoam food packaging. It is extremely hard to recycle as Portland does not have the facilities to recycle this stuff, especially after it's been food contaminated. There's a center in Tigard that can only recycle certain types, but most just ends up in the trash despite peoples efforts. Not sure what Ridwell really does with what they collect. Overall the teriyaki taste of all the meats isn't as good as the regular local competition. Everything was cooked well and nothing was undercooked or burnt, chicken was soft and moist, ribs were soft and moist, but the beef was slightly dry. Portion size is average, same with pricing. Regardless, next time I think I'll have to go to one of the other Hawaiian Teriyaki places, even if it's a little less convenient to get.

I am totally sad to report that L&L Hawaiian barbecue is now disgusting. It's premade and food is no longer fresh, the order is done in like three minutes as opposed to waiting for incredibly fresh food. The katsu breaded coating peels right off of the chicken, the barbecue chicken is dry, and no longer as moist and tasty. The macaroni salad is no longer creamy, it is dry and watered down. It is served in a plastic cup already Pre-scooped The Katsu sauce is almost like water as opposed to a thick sauce. They refuse to buy Sriracha sauce because it's too expensive, I let them know that that's part of the experience is to eat Hawaiian barbecue with Sriracha. They had Tabasco instead, I let them know that Tabasco actually makes their own Sriracha now as well as 10 other companies, at least... and even on a sadder note is that they charged me $22.50 with drink for a plate of this stuff. Thank goodness there are a few Hawaiian barbecue places close by and still doing it right. Goodbye L&L

Had a small catering order for L & L. Everything turned out great and they provided it earlier than their normal service times. Thank you L & L.!

Some of the locations can be hit or miss, but this one was legiiiit! Nice staff too! Lotsa Hawaiian candy and sweets as well, definitely was the cherry on top!

Decent place with good portions. Roxys might taste better but utterly small portions for the price. L&L has much better portions with not too much detriment to quality

The ribs were not as good as they were years ago. This time they were fatty and didn't come off the bone easily. Still had good flavor though. Even though I only got one short rib, it was a large one so I was satisfied. The fish was nicely soft and moist and hot. I liked the friendliness of the employees and how quickly they made the food. I like that they offer burgers on their menu. The burgers were basic and flat but still tasted good. Cons: Found a hair in my food that wasnt mine. Restaurant is small and only has three tables. Prices have risen. Teriyaki sauce is thin and lacks flavor.

I wish I could leave 0 stars. How do you charge $17.95 for three tiny pieces of short ribs. I was heading home super excited to try this and I opened the box to a whole bunch of disappointment. If they charged me $6 I would've been fine with it but almost $20 for that? Nah. If you want good short ribs go to House of Teriyaki in Tigard off of 99.

Husband is from Hawai'i and there's hardly a market for Hawaiian cuisine in Salem. I knew about L&L in Beaverton from group discussions on Facebook, so I decided we'd head out to Beaverton. There were other Hawaiian locals dining, so we knew this was probably going to taste like "back home." He ordered his favorite L&L katsu chicken, which comes with rice and Mac salad. He was in heaven. They sell tee-shirts and I had to get myself a "Musubae" shirt. We will definitely be back when we head to Beaverton again.

I'll continue to come to L&L for their chicken katsu. It's crunchy and the portions are huge and the rice and Mac salad is always perfect and my favorite Katsu sauce. On Thursday -Katsu special $8.50 There's some decent space to eat in the restaurant. 4 tables (2 tables 4 seats each, other 2 tables for 2 people.) There are outdoor seating when it's nice out. They offer healthy options here as well. Some food options: spam musubi ($2.50) lau lau/Kalua pig ($13.50) fries shrimp, bbq mix, saimin and they also have the chizzled fries that are super good! They also have Fruit Punch soft drink Decent prices and portions.

Chicken was raw and breading on chicken katsu doughy and falling off, also ordered seafood combo don't recommend at all meat was also under cooked and shrimp breading doughy. Wasted so much money on horrible food. THIS WAS SO GROSS I SHOULD HAVE GONE TO ROXYS ACROSS THE STREET.

Worst Hawaiian food I've had. The Kahula pig juice spilled all over. The mac salad was inedible...not sure how one messes that up and it had a weird Smokey after taste. The chicken was so dry and it was dark meat. Umm think this place should refresh themselves with a trip to the islands! Cuz this food makes me never want to eat Hawaiian on the mainland again

Waste of $5 unfortunately. I used to eat here quite a bit, though with their price increases and food quality DEcreases, I'd advise that you stay away.

I'm grew up in Honolulu and raisedon a healthy Hawaiian diet. Pa'i'ai for example is my go to when I ever I'm back. So long story short I flew to Portland for a buddies wedding and I got to say I was craving some hawaiian. L&L definitely came to mind and I stopped by here. I got to say that this is by far the best L&L I've ever been to. Yes it is not authentic Hawaiian food but it's the next best thing. (People don't go to panda Express for real Chinese food) Very impressed with the quality of food and service was fast and enjoyable. I got the garlic shrimp and spam musibi. I left feeling good and satisfied. I don't get the several negative reviews, people are entitled to their opinions, but there will always be haters in this world trying to bring down others. If anyone is in the mood to eat some delicious food I would recommend you to check it out. I'm not a food critic but I know great when I see and taste it.

Don't waste your time and money. I have eaten at MANY L & L restaurants and this place was, by far, the worst. BBQ chicken was extremely dry and the teriyaki sauce to use was like water. Trying to save money? The BBQ chicken saimin was served in a "to go" container and the customer has to add the noodles and chicken themselves - it didn't even look like sailing. Ribs were totally dry and tough as shoe leather. What a total disappointment as this was a birthday lunch! Most definitely will not go back.

Delicious food they have there! We ordered to Go: seafood combo, chicken Katsu, fried shrimp..all tasted great For sure, we'll come back again.

I was recommended here and I'm really happy that I went because I was not disappointed. They have great daily deals. Their chicken katsu was some of the best I had ever had. The portions were great for the prices, the staff was very friendly, and all in all it was great. There is not a lot of seating in here, very small!

Couple stars for food. Taste ok LL standard but the employee- that woman at the register- extremely lacked of customer service. She will not accommodate anything you ask. Minimal effort possible. Zero greetings or appreciation. Not to mention she and the cook yelled back and forth in Spanish right in front of customer. Note: everything is served in foam and plastic here. No matter you order here or to go. For the Mother Earth I won't support this business again.

The owner is a complete asshole told me to F off ... they don't know how to that people there andbits a wonder they're always hiring. the food is better at 808 grinds and Roxys and the food cartel not far away. I wouldn't eat here. they over charge and glare at you like ur a peasant.f this placeand f the owner!

Well, let's see.... I've been in bed the last couple hours trying not to vomit again. 25 bucks for food poison Chicken Katsu

If you want true local Hawaiian cuisine this is the place. Living on Oahu for many years L&L has been a staple go to place for my family and I. The menu is the same and prepared the same as you would get in Hawaii. The staff greets you wi the Aloha. It makes you feel as if you were still in Hawaii. If you're looking for Hawaiian food this is the place to go.

I love the food here, I felt the pricing was fair for the quality and portion size of the food. However, I recently notice that the masubis have been reduced to almost 1/2 the size for the same price and the mini meals have also decreased in size for the same price. Truthfully I'm not sure if the price is suitable for the portion of food now. I'm considering exploring other local Hawaiian restaurants to explore better meal deals with fair pricing. I consider myself not stingy with money and tips but it also has to be a great deal for me and my family as well. It fees now like I'm cheated with the portions. You see I've been coming here for years now but with this new change I'm not sure I would return.

Got a truckload of rice and no sauce. Do I really need to say give me the sauce? That implied. So here we sit. Hungover with dry rice and no sauce. Thanks Omar.

Disgusting. Everything on my plate with the possible exceptions of the rice and macaroni salad appeared to have been prepared long, long ago. I put it in the trash rather than risk food poisoning.

A local boy from Honolulu that now lives in Houston, I decided to try this authentic hawaiian plate lunch (2 scoop rice, 1 scoop macaroni salad, two meats) restaurant while visiting my daughter in Portland, Oregon. I didnt want to cook over the weekend, so I ordered a 1/2 pan of Terriyaki beef, 1/2 pan of Terriyaki chicken, 1/2 pan spam musubi, and 1/2 pan macoroni salad for the 6 of us, and let me tell you they did not dissappoint! Same ono (delicious) flavor and quality as in Honolulu! We cooked a big pot of rice at the house and had our favorite beverage with our comfort food away from home. It was plenty and highly recommend it! Again thanks and many Alohas!

THEEE most disgusting and disappointing meal. I got the saimen and spam musubi and both were flavorless. Way overpriced for what I got. Literally--diluted chicken broth, instant ramen noodles, and 5 pieces of chicken. The spam was likely microwaved and placed over rice. Never ever ever going to order from them again. I would say I got what I paid for, but my gosh, not even. Could've made this meal under $4 and still have it taste better than this junk.

Fast service so that earns them a star. Otherwise we will skip in the future. Tried three different mains and none had flavor aside from salt. My Lau Lau was over 60% fat but still managed to be dry? The Kalua Pork was basic but passable. The mac salad had zero flavor and was runny (hoping no food poisoning tonight). And no sauce was included?? So weird. Overall, very disappointing and we will continue to go to one of the other Hawaiian places nearby instead.

Unbelievable! I'm so shocked this happened to me! I've been eating LnL my whole life, coming from Hawaii. I tried this spot out real quick for the first time as it's next to my barber. As I was waiting for my food I noticed a gentleman (most likely a manager or owner, based on his attire) that was preparing food and NOT wearing a mask while everyone else in the kitchen was. I VERY POLITELY asked if he had a covid vaccine or recent test done and he got SO PISSED!! I was in complete shock and didn't know what to say and left. You could see the other workers trying to calm him down. About 10-15 minutes later I called to see who it was so I could get my review accurate...he answered and completely lost it! Swore at me up n down saying "F you" (the actual word tho) repeatedly! Over and over and over. F bombs just because I asked if he had a covid test because I didn't wanna get sick n die like some of my family members! He said that it "WASN'T FAIR" that he had to deal with the customer in front of me (with the wrong order btw) while he was trying to EAT HIS FOOD IN THE KITCHEN...and then said I topped it off by asking about his mask. Really?!! Also said he would never serve me food again lol. The worst part is that he's the MANAGER! I urge whoever is reading this to spread the word and NEVER go to this place! Covid is real and so are asshole managers. In the past I never woulda bothered with a review, I woulda taught tough guy a lesson outside. Instead, I've decided to take this one upon myself and spread this story like no other. Every social media platform, everyone I talk to, and hopefully the News & Radio since I have a recording of him cursing me out. There's no place for businesses that are run like this!

I'm not a big fan of katsu but I think they have some of the best katsu around. I also like the Laulau when I need my Hawaiian fix.

This restaurant is stuck on the back of the Cedar Hill Crossing mall. It is small but run by an always friendly woman, i can only review the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, but I have had it several times, it is fairly cheap, comes fast and there is more sauce in a bottle if you want The vegitables always seem to change, but that is stated on the menu. This is part a chain, The space is tiny which makes for an odd layout, but there are lots of windows so it is always light and bright inside with company posters showing happy people with scenes of Hawaii in the background. The place is always kept very clean which is nice for fast food. There is nothing fancy about the place but the speed and service bring me back and the bowl is quite good for fast food standards. Oh, and its just around the corner in the mall from Powells Books, another selling point.

We moved here to Beaverton about 7 months ago and was so surprised to find an L and L up the street from our home. You know, it's pretty surreal to see the same restaurant decor, menu, Hawaiian Sun drinks and the Hawaiian plate lunches mini and regular. However, the customer services in our experience was as if we were in the islands because the owner is from Oahu and like us found this beautiful spot in Beaverton. I've been to other Hawaiian places here and about Beaverton but here at Land L barbecue if your from the islands you can be in both places Hawaii and Beaverton all at once. Not only can you get your belly filled but it's a touch of the islands. Plus it won't hurt your wallet its fast service too. We did not wait 15 minutes or more like other places so having little ones is great very family friendly. Yes, being a Native Hawaiian I say check it out.

Got the chicken katsu and it tasted like the one's I bought back in Hawaii. The sauce was slightly watered down in my opinion but overall I was satisfied with it. I wasn't able to try the other ones on the menu so I'll keep you updated. I will say the customer service wasn't the best, but it didn't really bother me, it did bother my friend though. Overall I would go back

I DO like that they serve a mini size and have lunch specials. Even when you order a mini they seem to be pretty generous with the meat. The Musubi is good but a bit expensive, in my opinion. I'm not particularly well versed in the musubi pricing in the local market, so I may be wrong. Bottom line: It's not that it's bad- it's just OK and in a competitive market. It's the kind of place I would hit if I had a Hawaiian food craving and it was convenient-- the problem is that Roxy's is just around the corner and their quality is comparable (in my opinion) and 808 Grinds is a short drive for a superior product. I still end up here once in awhile...

If there were an option for 0 stars, that is what I would rate this place. The customer service sucks - the looks we were given from the minute we walked into the door were judgmental and rude. My sister ordered the Lau Lau plate and they gave her a weird look for ordering it and were about refuse to serve it to her until she told them multiple times she knew what it was. Little did they know our family is full Hawaiian. I got the Katsu chicken, it is absolutely disgusting and made me sick. The lady working the register over charged my sister for everything and while we were watching to make sure she did not charge us even more for no reason, the cook in the back walked up to the front just to glare at us with a nasty look on his face. - Also, as soon as we noticed the lady over charging my sister, she began to talking bad about us loudly in front of our faces to the man working with her in Spanish. I will never ever come back to this place or support the business again. I 100% do not recommend coming to this place.

delicious katsu and bbq chicken! consistent flavorful food, even has option w brown rice reasonably priced, clean open kitchen. I will continue get food from here and recommend to family n friends.

We recently went here after ordering take out for my husband who loves a particular dish. It always seemed reasonably priced and quick. We went here for a special day and I ordered off the "healthy menu." What a ripoff. It was a teriyaki chicken plate and was a joke. I got about 6 small pieces of dark meat, a couple tblsp of rice and the rest was ALL lettuce. 3/4 of this meal was lettuce and I paid almost $11 for it. This was not considered a salad but sure looked like one and I typically don't eat salad because I end up hungry. It's ok to not have healthy options but to have them and charge alot for crap lettuce is a ripoff. I literally left hungry. I eat healthy but I can eat plenty. never again. It's ok to not have healthy, but if you do have it - don't rip people off Not again! P.S. Dark meat is not necessarily healthy either.

I wandered in here one day after getting off work, hungry and tired and ready for some fast, delicious food. I had their BBQ Chicken lunch special, along with a spam musubi, and was pleasantly surprised. The chicken was delicious and tender, with not too much sauce. The musubi, while not the best I've ever had, was still good. I tried the katsu curry meal today, which was also good. But it had too much curry on there for my personal taste. No biggie. I am not a huge fan of their mac salad-- don't get me wrong, it's fine, but it doesn't have a lot of flavor. The service here has been very friendly both times I've come in. The lady behind the counter was very kind and made suggestions for me when I couldn't decide what to get, and she greets everyone politely. Overall, I like this place, and I will definitely be back more often.

Basically, the worst food ever. How can you ruin Hawaiian food? They are experts. "Barbecue chicken" turns out to be the same old dried out chicken pieces that are the base of every chicken dish - and you get a squeeze bottle of barbeque sauce to anoint it with. They didn't give me everything that was supposed to be in the order...but I figured: "why bother"?

I've tried to order delivery from them 3 times now. Every time, they leave my order pending for 30-40 minutes and then cancel it. Won't be attempting any more..

I swear all I wanted was a mini pork and cabbage. I check my account the next day they over charged me $6.50 next charge $6.75. They told me without a receipt they can't do anything. I work at Comcast and eat there everyday. I'm so disappointed with there customer service. It's a sad day for Hawaiians in Beaverton.
