L & G Local Food

If you’re wanting fresh, hot food, this is a place to go for chili cheese fries and katsu burger combo! Lots of tables to sit at, constantly cleaned too.

Possibly the worst thing I’ve ever eaten. This is not edible. Ordered the beef curry. Beef was so tough couldn’t even get the fork in it and it was crunchy… not ok! Not sure what garbage cut off meat this was. Potatoes and carrots were even horrible. All of it was horrible. Would not consume a bite of this bc I feared food poisoning. THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN.

I’m deeply saddened that Paalaa Bakery can be shut down due to a red card and this monstrosity can stay open. Awhile ago I insanely ordered a shrimp burger, yes I know is a bad idea but little did I know it would make my whole entire body explode!
This was after a movie at PH then food time happens. Ate the burger there say 2pm went home 5pm started to get a fever, threw up, diarrhea all the same time. I think is sweated 2 lbs off.
OMG don’t say I didn’t give you fair warning this place the food is inedible. Stay far far away! In fact the entire complex its in is really gross as a year ago someone in a wheelchair diarrhea thru the whole eating area!
Needless to say I will not be back!

My Luvah and I ate here on Saturday after hearing that my friend ranted about their garlic mahi. And she was right! The garlic ahi is very delicious! I do not eat meat so I can only review this. I’m sad that a lot of people gave crappy reviews, but I know i’ll be going back for the garlic mahi and their French fries! I’m a total fan! I must say way better than L & L’s garlic mahi.

Stop to eat here real quick before going to the movies. Bad idea, we wanted something fast we order a hamburger and cheese fries, they were both tasteless. When I went to put ketchup on the burger a roach walk by… that’s just nasty and the lady just looked at me for a sec and put her head back down to keep typing on her phone. Never again!

I was hungry for chicken Katsu so this was the stop. Prices are decent and Katsu is Katsu. It’s hard to mess up Katsu. I ate a mini cause I didn’t need the extra scoop of rice. The Katsu portion was enough and it hit da spot. I add siracha to the Katsu sauce to give it a little kick. Don’t eat other things there cause I try not to frequent plate lunch places much.
Aloha

What did I just eat… Threw away my whole $ 16 worth of food…#horrible

This place is okay if you are hungry and like pound one plate lunch or sandwich kind stuff. Food not all that great due to lack of taste and good preparation/​cooking. I dont think ill be eating here again.

This place is just AIGHT. I’ve ate here 3x and nothing’s really changed. Mediocre at best type food. Recently I had their loco moco and it wasn’t that bad. But it it DEFINITELY wasn’t that great either. I was hella starving, so I did mop my plate, but I’m sure I’d have mopped any plate at that moment! I will say that their loco moco is better than their meat jun! That’s really not saying much, but atleast it’s a step up from what could possibly be the worst meat jun I’ve ever had!
.& because I work in the complex I do get tired of eating the same food, so I most likely will try something by them again… But it’s due to my limited selection of food choices here! & it won’t be any time soon.

Stay away!
Kalbi and what they call «New York steak» is the worst pieces of meat I’ve ever ate. Normally the meat/​tendon around the bone is the best part. The New York steak was like eating rubber and the khaki was no better.

What you see is what you get and from the looks it’s not good.
Most places that don’t appear great on the outside usually have great food, not in this case. I say it’s a step it two below average that I could have cooked up in my house (and I am not a good cook)
The worst part is the lady ran my card and tried to say I only paid 84¢ when that was actually amount due. Just another place trying to swindle money. Smh

i got a typical bbq/​local food type-​a dish: bbq mix plate.
well, i did not think you could mess up such a dish as the bbq mix plate (teri beef, bbq chicken, kalbi) turns out, you can.
«messed up» on this occasion means: lacking in flavor. all 3 meats were very bland. none of the meats had ‘char marks’ on them, so im not sure if they even have a grill back there? i got a side salad as opposed to the mac salad. the greens were not cold/​chilled and were just a wee bit discolored.
im sure there are some dishes that l&g has that are pretty good, but im not giving them a second chance.
oh, and the lady behind the counter was nice (enough.)

Sorry L&G Local, I tried you’re beef curry stew and it was not very good. I can’t put my finger on it, but the curry taste just wasn’t «right». Also, the meat had several tough pieces that was impossible to chew.
The service was good, the girl taking my order was pleasant and cheerful, unfortunately, the food was definitely sub-​par.

I’m addicted to their Aloha plate, cannot get enough! Deluxe dbl burger is great too. Can’t go wrong with the loco moco or chicken katsu either lol. At first I thought the staff was rude, but they just don’t speak any English, so their convo is pretty limited. So now I just nod, smile and say, aloha plate. It’s a match made in heaven now :)
This place is great local food

This place is aight. I thought it was L&L Hawaiian Barbeque at first when I first looked at it but it’s actually named L&G. I bet they probably get those recognitions a lot when they get spotted. I wonder what the acronyms mean. It’s conveniently right inside the Pearl Highlands Shopping Center Food Court. They have a pretty big menu of food and specials just like any other local Hawaiian barbeque plate lunch place. Came here on night for the first time for dinner right before watching a movie and got the Mahi Mahi special. The regular was like around $ 7.50 and the mini was like $ 5.99. I actually liked the Mahi Mahi plate over here. It tasted pretty good probably because of the MSG. I got it along with brown rice which they serve and your typical greens, tartar sauce, and macaroni salad. The prices are decent, pretty. The staff and customer service is ok too.

Not L & «L»!!! All this time, I thought it was. Oh, well. Same type of food. Same type of service. Same accents taking my order of chicken katsu or shrimp burger & fries. Works for me…
Although I thought they used to give more fries. Or maybe I’m mixing this place up with your local L & L’s or your neighborhood Loco Moco.
I’m not saying this place is a dump, especially since when I come here all the time and visit this food court, I end up here. Can’t complain if I keep coming back for more, right? Plus, I once ordered a jumbo coke and they pretty much gave me a bucket trough of soda. It lasted me my meal and then some. I appreciated that even though my stomach didn’t. In fact, I don’t know if they even make that size drink anymore. I know Mickey D’s sadly got rid of that size for 99 cents. That was the best drink price in town.
Anyway, L & G’s is alright. Just like this food court is alright. Just like Pearl City used to be like Mililani, but now it’s just alright. I could’ve rated it lower, but my stomach unconsciously gave it another star.

Customer service was really bad. The girls at the counter dont know how to handle a part-​time job and taking orders.
Bf and I came to pick up lunch. We ordered two spam musubi and one Bento #2. After we ordered and paid, the girl goes,
«Bento #2 is such a pain in da ass to make!»
Oh foreal! Are you the one making it? Then dont complain!
Also, I dont see why frying one piece of chicken and fish, cooking one piece BBQ meat, and placing over chopped cabbage with two scoops rice is such a «pain in da ass»!? It may take a couple minutes more, but not by much!
While we were waiting, the girls seemed really pissed that people werent picking up their orders as quickly as they were calling them. Maybe repeating themselves caused them to be in a bad mood? I thought it was unfair to take it out on people who didnt do anything to piss them off.
Then we get our order, and my boyfriend asks for a plastic bag. The girl basically just tosses the bag to him and walks away. Jeez Louise check your attitude.
I was craving a spam musubi so I was really happy, and I had a bite of the fried fish in my bfs bento. Was ono!
So they get two stars (:

Service was good. A guy took my order, it was a little hard to understand with his accent. I ordered a mini chili dog plate. It came with a scoop of rice and mac salad. The rice, hotdog and mac salad was good. The chili on the otherhand… well…sucked! It tasted more like beef stew. And bad beef stew at that! Too sweet, ugh! So I guess I wouldn’t order their beef stew either.
This was my first time here so maybe I should give them another try, but not for a while though. This food court is very limited so when I’m tired of Sumo Ramen or that Chinese place then I’ll try here again.

Ugh, what to say about this place…
Well, let’s just say this place is like a wannabe l & l drive inn. The potential for good food is there, but the food is so-​so. Doesn’t meet my taste buds’ expectations.
I have eaten here more than once. I have tried their grilled pork chop and mochiko chicken. Both were very blan and lacked flavor. I had to pour schiracha sauce all over the mochiko chicken because it tasted that blan. The mac salad is ok. Plate lunches always come with scoop rice and mac salad. You can order either a mini or regular size.
Even though I haven’t eaten everything there, my «ok» experiences is enough to not want to come back.

L&G Local Food is located in the food court at Pearl Highlands Center. (Pearl Highlands had an event, plus pictures with Santa, so the food court was pretty packed) Because my son wanted local moco, and there was no line, we ordered a mini for $ 5
Local Moco 3 star — same type of local moco plate with hamburger, brown sauce, a scoop of rice and mac salad.
Service — 2 star — The egg was not cooked enough. The white part of the egg was still transparent. Thus, because of the risk of salmonella, we returned it, only to have the cook lay another over easy egg on top of the uncooked one, still spreading the risk. Totally grossed me out. My son ate it because he was hungry, and we’re hoping he won’t be getting salmonella from the previous raw egg.
I guess there’s a reason why there is no line at certain places, and luckily, he didn’t get sick from it.
