L&L Drive-Inn

Came here with my family. Food was good but the guy at the counter (Chinese guy with blonde hair and not to friendly) wouldn’t let my husband substitute all fries instead of the rice and Mac. Every other L and L lets you sub. Maybe someone should clue in this guy. Whatever won’t be back!

It’s a pretty basic l&l menu. I keep seeing in other reviews that people complain about the counter service. It’s local fast food… what do you expect. Most Chinese ran food places don’t focus on customer service. I don’t go there for service… I go cause it’s good, fast and reasonably priced. Love me some chicken katsu curry! Bbq mix plate is great. Also love the mochiko chicken. They have alot to choose from. I live close by so I like to call in my order as they can get pretty busy.

Food was good, but don’t waste your time calling in an order. I called at 2 pm, they said 10 minutes, it took me 15 to get there, stood in line for another 7. Had to tell them I made a phone order and he called it out. I waited another 15 minutes!

My husband and I went here for lunch… I must say the services was horrible. .not only was the staff cold but very noticeable. …the cashier needs an attitude adjustment. When out food came she yelled out and slam it on the table, that was it for me. Once it comes to food you naver know. I went up and wanted a refund and she wanted to get loud so did I letting them know how nasty she was and if thwy would eat if i did that to them after that we never went back. Everyone has their opinion and this is mines. just don’t let other people treat you with disrespect.

I’ve eaten l&l before at other locations and it was great!
When we went to this location though, everyone in the house got food poisoning. ¾ still have it. I haven’t been able to keep down food or water in 2 ½ days. Lost 12lbs. Would NOT go back.
That’s what I get for not reading the reviews about the dirty kitchen and undercooked meat.

Ordered the mini katsu chicken curry with brown rice and Mac salad, the food is so delicious. it’s been 2 years since I’ve had them since I moved off the island and it’s still so ono!

«Hello» or maybe even a head nod to acknowledge my presence in the store would have been a better start to my experience hell, only three people were in the store. The cashier walked by me (practically running me over) to turn off some lights in the window and for the drink cooler. I was confused that maybe they were about to close… but I got one word out of the lady «no»…when I inquired if they were closing. The food looked ok… the place was dirty and I read a review (after ordering) that had me fearing for my health… never again L and L… clean up your act

Average fast food. Good portions. Reasonably priced. Wouldn’t recommend the greasy burgers. You’re probably better off having rice bowls.

It’s your regular, trusty old L&L. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken! I usually get my regular teri burger with cheese and a sack of crinkle fries. Can’t go wrong with the classics.

Food is good they have a large menu to choose from. Their specials are amazing but food is rushed a little too much. some meat is not cooked too well.

A few days ago I went to this location with my two Daughters and the Service was not that great. The cashier or host could not hide the attitude towards me as I put in the order, that even my 15 year old said to me «Dam Dad what is wrong with her»; after I paid the cashier, she returned my credit card with her finger tips as if I had written on my forehead that I had a deadly disease or something. I continued to noticed that as I sat down, she laughed as she placed the order through the mic in their language. Wow, the kind of rudeness and disrespect could not be any worst. I wish you all luck in your future endeavors. Lastly, the food was not that great. S/​F.

This L&L location seems to be very hit-​or-​miss. The garlic shrimp were simply fantastic — plump, perfectly cooked, with excellent flavor. By contrast, the ahi was lifeless, bland, and dry. The bbq chicken is a winner. And, for all of the dishes, the mini will feed any reasonably hungry adult. Bonus points for giving the option to have brown rice instead of white. Demerits for the utterly sad «green salad» that can be substituted for the mac salad. Like I said, you’re likely to be disappointed or delighted based on what you order.
Update: Had the saimin burger, and it was really excellent. Back to four stars.

I’ve never been disappointed by the food here, but the service has gotten worse and worse. Luckily, great service is not something you really expect from L&L, but it would be nice if their employees didn’t treat me with almost complete disdain on certain visits. But the food is always great. Go there, eat there. rinse, repeat.

This place definitely has it’s pros and cons but overall it’s good food!
Pro: food is always yummy
Con: they’re kind of slow even when it’s empty.
Good eats!!!

Another lunch place for me. Usually go there Around 12 – 1 and its usually busy. The thing I like most about this L&L is that there fast and really good service. So the only thing that I order is the chicken katsu. So overall pretty good place to eat cheap.

Since it has been almost a year I figured I better update.
I go here a lot, and it has always been great!
This week the garlic Ahi was awesome.
So…when in the area I come here.

I live just down the road and I soooo wanted this place to be my «go to» cheapy feel-​good food joint. Wrong. This is the 3^rd time that they have screwed up my take-​out order. The first time, I had ordered the garlic shrimp plate. I got some fried breaded thing that may or may not have been protein. To their credit, when I took it back they did replace it. The second time my husband ordered the lemon chicken. When we got home, it was just hard dried protein, again, of questionable source, and WITHOUT any sauce on it. My husband threw it right into the garbage, he was so mad. When I called, the same guy that took my order said «oh really, you sure?» Duh — I think I can ID a container of sauce if it was there.
Their on-​line menu is obsolete. Next, I ordered, a Bento box [and I had their menu right in front of me on the computer] and was told that that menu was very very old and most things were not available anymore. I asked him how I was supposed to know that and how could people order if there menu was obsolete… was told to go down there and look at the current menu. Oh. My fault. I misunderstood that when a business advertises on the internet that it may be obsolete.
I do frequent L & Ls elsewhere on the island and have been more than satisfied with the quality of the food. When we were on the Big Island, we had a great meal in Kona at the L & L there. The food was fresh and guess what! everything on the menu was current and they had it!

I am IN LOVE with their garlic shrimp healthy plate. The plate costs $ 9 something & I was a little hesitant to pay that much for it but when I saw the amount of food & tasted how good the shrimp tasted, I’m hooked — definitely worth the $ 9!
My husband is a huge fan of the mixed bbq plate & he loves their macaroni salad. He would eat there everyday if he could.
We have not had a bad experience with this place — great food, clean, & nice employees. Highly recommend!

I went to Hawaii for the first time this year to get married and to be on my honeymoon.
Anyone who goes or who lives in Hawaii eats L&L– period. In saying that… I was easily interested in seeing what the big deal was all about…
Now all I have to say is: L&L– you made me a believer. Your mixed bbq plate with rice and macaroni salad is to die for. Your portions are too big for me to even finish… even when I get the small option.
Not to mention Loco Moco’s? Can I get a witness???
You… are… delish… the end.

This is my favorite L&L on the island. The reason: mochiko chicken! Definitely a favorite plate of mine and this place makes it the best.
