Royal Waikiki L&L

It was time to get another fix of Hawaiian comfort food so we hit up L&L BBQ in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center food court. We can’t hang with the full size plate so we both ordered minis, I had Loco Moco and my son had BBQ chicken. They were still huge portions and piping hot. It was a nice food court and the staff was friendly and efficient. L&L BBQ is a favorite of mine so we definitely recommend it if you like or want to try Hawaiian Comfort food..🤙🏽

Here on vacation and have been craving a good loco moco for days. Finally said I’ll just get it from L&L. It was amazing. Well seasoned burger patty, savory gravy, two eggs perfectly sunny side up, with two scoops Mac salad and one scoop rice. It was a wonder. Husband had the shrimp and steak. Not exaggerating. Their shrimp gives all the famous shrimp trucks a run for their money. One of the best shrimps we’ve had yet. Highly recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What a Mistake It Was to Order Food From Here As L&L has been around for awhile, we had a nostalgia moment and decided to order the BBQ Mix Plate from here. At first glance my food looked good though somewhat pricey. However the teriyaki steak was a slice of some kind of beef that was days old and the short ribs were okay at best. But the worst surprise of all was the bbq chicken. There were 3 pieces - the one presented on top was good but the two other pieces hidden underneath the other meats were like leather at best and were completely inedible. The one bite I had had a strange, not good taste. Best advice - stay away from here. Much better options at this food court.

I ordered beef from this L&L location and was very disappointed to find that it was undercooked/raw. This is a serious food safety concern and needs to be addressed immediately. Serving raw beef when it’s supposed to be fully cooked poses a health risk to customers. I hope management takes this seriously and ensures the kitchen staff are properly checking food temperatures before serving. I asked the front desk lady to heat up the meat and she told me in America that beef is supposed to be this rare.

L&L Hawaiian BBQ is located in the upper level food court with all the other fast food restaurant. When we went on Sunday evening, it was very busy and there was a line up to order food. We ordered the Hawaiian mixed platter and a drink which came to $30. The platter came with 2 scoops of rice, grilled meats, and we changed the default macaroni salad to a green salad. Meat was very chewy but flavour was on-point. You really need your hands to eat the meat off the bone. As a non-local, I enjoyed this much more than the Rainbow Drive-In’s mixed platter.
