I love butter with seafood but this was WAY TOO MUCH butter! I got the garlic shrimp and it smelled amazing and the shrimp tasted ok but it needed salt and there was so much butter I could only eat the top of the macaroni salad and rice. Pretty disappointing for almost $14

I was a bit disappointed. I was super excited to eat LauLau but man, the pork was very dry and tasted like it had frostbite. My rice was cold too. Overall very disappointed, I won’t be going back to this location. My friend warned me but I figured give ‘em a try. I regret it. Lose money.

First time I’ve ever instantly reviewed a restaurant within five minutes of getting my order. First, I ordered through doordash, and a glitch changed the amount of a side I wanted from 2 to 1. I called the restaurant and they kindly said they’d add the extra side. We received our order with the very sweet note in the picture. On top of the amazing customer service, the food stands alone. The kalua pork, tender, salty, greasy in the best way. The fried shrimp were crispy and very fresh. The bbq chicken is juicy, sweet and savory. And the macaroni salad is a monolith.

I went to the cereal looking for another restaurant and decided on this place. I was pleasantly surprised with the combination plate. It was very good and very satisfying. Lots of food. The help is very friendly in the food to served quickly. I brought my food to work and a week later I made an order for everybody at work. We all had great meals that I picked up and brought back to work. Definitely give this place a try. I know it’s a chain, but it’s a local chain ish.

HEY YOU. YEAH YOU READING THIS. Do you like incredibly delicious food? Do you like (mostly) friendly staff? Do you like portions that actually match the price you are paying?? Then you better come get some of this (and you BETTER get extra macaroni salad because SHEEESH I could eat a whole pound by myself NO sweat)

This is hands down the best place to get some authentic Hawaiian food. We always get our order in a reasonable amount of time and the food is consistent and delicious!! The price can get pretty high if you have a large family, but the serving sizes are more than enough, bigger than anything comparable. Our families favorite dish is the Kailua pork and cabbage!!! My kids always have to have a couple orders of spam musabi (spell) as well. Would highly recommend trying this place if you haven’t already. We always get our orders to go so I can’t speak as to the atmosphere so much but the food is amazing.

If you’re a 100% true Hawaiian living in the Northwest and you’re missing home as well as some of the iconic Hawaiian cuisine from the islands, then come to L & L Barbecue. They’re Musubi is great, their Chicken Katsu is amazing! They give you generous portions of food. They’re mini – plate meals are generous too.

Broccoli and cauliflower tasted like dish detergent. Condiments left out of order.

I love this place! They have always been super friendly no matter how busy they get at times. Food is fresh and delicious! I just wish they had a larger set up. Yeah they do have outside sitting but this is Western WA. It’s rainy and windy a lot of the times. Best sticky rice and their Mac is delicious. Would recommend their beef bowl, chicken katsu, the beef patty gravy thing, and their Kaluha pork!
