Food is okay, but good location. Many times the Mac salad is just turning sour.

Good food, and plenty of it. I ordered mini plates, and got the food in the regular-size styrofoam containers. I had to ask the lady at the counter if these were indeed mini plates. She said yes. Other L&Ls that I've eaten at use the smaller styrofoam containers for the mini plates...not this one. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Stopped by here for quick bite after the gym because we didn't have any food at home. Lol. It's very convenient for anyone living in the Aiea area. No complaints. I got grilled ahi and BBQ chicken plate and my bf got the mochiko chicken with burger steak. The mochiko chicken was good but tastes just like something me and my mom used to make. Food was average. I thought it was funny that it was our first time to eat here after years of being in the area. They do have pretty big servings! I was starving and still couldn't finish my food. My boyfriend also had to take home his leftovers (or maybe he wanted to save it for lunch the next day... I never know haha). Took a few minutes to get our food but not too long that you're like wtf happened to my order? Huge menu. Would love to try something different next time.

Came here for their breakfast menu, my husband had the local omelet. OMG.... I must say they aren't cheap about putting in the goods. The omelet was loaded with Portuguese sausage, potato and mushrooms. The restaurant is clean, and the service was quick.

The guy at the register just stared at us while we were trying to decide what to eat. No worries tho, food was still Ono. My fav because they're rude, they just a friendlier staff. (:

It's an L&L just like all the others. Actually not my favorite location because the customer service is lagging a bit, but it's the closest to my house. Good food fast pretty cheap so can't complain. If you live in aiea and have a hankering for some L&L this is the place.

My boyfriend and I come here weekly. One of the ladies knows our order before we even get to the cashier. We love their Orange Chicken and Beef & Broccoli with Fried Rice plate. It's the only thing we've ever bought from here. For $11 it's a big plate and most of the time the two of us can't finish it. I would have given this place 5 stars based on all our experiences, but one sat with us wrong. We decided to sit in for once (thankfully). Half way through our plate, we noticed a piece of cloth in the beef & broccoli. I noticed it earlier, but thought it was a piece of vegetable. After a close look, it was definitely a piece of cloth that was soaked in the beef & broccoli mixture. My boyfriend brought it to the cashier's attention, who didn't believe us, which completely pissed me off. But, I tend to let my temper get the better of me, so I let my boyfriend handle the situation. In the end, they made us a brand new plate and we took it to go. My stomach was not feeling it at that moment. As unfortunate as it was, we still go back and order that plate, but we make sure to check before we eat. We believe it was an honest mistake, but hopefully it doesn't happen any more!

Well....what's there to say about this place, not much actually. I visited a few weeks ago, but felt compelled to say something. The only thing this place may...and I repeat, may be good for is cheap eats...and you get what you pay for!! I had the bowl of teriyaki beef with rice (didn't want anything too large). Let's just say they slapped together every piece a gristle they could find and put it in a bowl. This is not my first bad experience with L&L . Had one about a year ago, which is why it took me so long to go back (I think that meal may have been a chicken katsu...or so they call it) Needless to say my next visit may be in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse, as you can't be too picky during a disaster.

No complaints here except the tossed green salad looked like burger toppings that included my huge dislike, raw onions. I thought it was a joke but didn't want to risk a repeat & now order "all rice".

Not as good as other locations. The garlic Mahi was really oily and the garlic was kinda raw still yet. They also charge you .50 cents more if you pay with credit card under 10 bucks! How's that, they make their own tax charge!!! Had the bbq chicken before and that was pretty good - the only reason I give two stars, otherwise I give them only one.

I've been to many L&L's before and this is by far, the worst. I've been here twice and have no plans on returning to this location. I came for the Kalua Pig. It was so salty that I had to throw it out. The second time, I decided to give them another chance. I got the Loco Moco. Rice, good. Mac salad, ok. I had a patty that looked as though it had just been frozen and had that "fake taste" to it.. Yuck. The egg was very small. The worse part was the gravy. It completely filled the entire plate that I had to ask the lady in front if she had my order wrong. i had to dig for the patty. It wasn't good at all. Definitely don't recommend this location. Very disappointed considering the location is perfect.

So this has got to be one of my most frequent L&Ls because it is in my hometown of A-Town. This place has a great atmosphere and look. All of their menus and marketing material looks good when you go inside so it is easy to choose what to order. It is clearly visible. There are a ton of selections and specials. Compared to the old school L&L, it is not so ghetto anymore has the company clearly serves as one of the top pioneering plate lunch places in Hawaii. Customer service is pretty good. Parking is pretty good too because it is located in the Aiea Shopping Center and there is some 20min. parking stalls right in front. There's also a conveniently located Jamba Juice and Starbucks next door. There have been various times when I ordered a mini, I got a regular size plate lunch instead! Sweet deal!

I came here because the place wasn't that busy. The food is so-so. Just like any other L&Ls.

I used to come here so long ago it was only called "L"! Nah... jus joking, but really... I used to come here quite some time ago, when it used to be around the corner, where Starbucks, is at now. I dunno if it went thru different owners since then... but it did go thru some renovations...at the old place...and the new. Consistant!........that's how one could discribe it. The food's always consistant. I'm not saying the grub's not tasty or anything like that, I'm saying you can kind remember what it tasted like from your last visit, I dunno maybe it's jus me. Not really a wow kinda feel, more of ...if you're" jonesing" for a fill-me-up at all cost, for a reasonable price kinda deal....than hea-ya go. It's the kinda hole in the wall joint that'll give you your monies worth....for sure. Is it jus me, or are Chinese women not friendly... they hardly never smile, They take everything way too seriously, constant frown... Can I help you...Thank you ...G'by!! Oh well, I got my grinds, thank you too, I'll be on my way. The Tsunami Saturday, I picked up my mom from Kaneohe, as she lives kinda near the shore, and brought her over for her safety. I picked up "mini' chicken katsu's for all of us...and when mom opened hers, she was amazed, she couldn't believe we had the smaller of the plates. Ya jus gotta love the crispy, golden brown pieces, all chopped and ready for inhalation. A nice kinda spicey-ish...tarty-ish (I wonder... maybe it's jus Ketchup and vinegar?) dipping sause on the side. One generous scoop rice, and one not-bad....scoop Mac salad ( not the best, but jus not bad) Mom, was impressed, and happy to be safe, and ...very full, she couldn't finish her plate..nor could we, but my little Ihilani (grandaughter) helped us. She's another one, but that's for later. So gotta say...plenty food for the price, cute, clean hole in the wall kinda place; just don't expect to get a life story from the counter person, let alone a smile.

This is a good place to try inexpensive Hawaiian food. Try the BBQ dishes, loco moco, saimin, etc. Good parking.

Chicken katsu is very good here. Unfortunately pimpled faced clerk is very unfriendly. I've been there many times and have constantly been treated as a stranger. I once asked if gravy could be added onto my chicken katsu in my chicken katsu/loco moco combination and she said that she would have to charge me extra, since the gravy would change the combination plate to a chicken cutlet/loco moco combo. ????? Tried to use a couple of coupons to purchase two plates, but was told only one coupon per customer, regardless of how many plates was purchased....ended up buying only one plate. Seems that they would try to accommodate their customers to maximize the number of plates sold, but they couldn't understand that concept. The potatoes in their stews are always hard because of lack of cooking time. Tried to explain that to them but they didn't seem to understand. Probably will go back because of the convenience of their location and their chicken katsu, but not their stews.
