| - One random day of errands got me all hungry for some Hawaiian BBQ. I'm definitely a big fan of Hawaiian BBQ being that it's my heritage. When it comes to L&L, it's a dime a dozen in Hawaii, so I don't tend to visit this restaurant very often. The franchise set up sometimes makes for an inconsistent experience between locations.
This location is right across the street from a very busy mall in Henderson and around the corner from Sunset Station. The immediate shopping center includes Hobby Lobby, Target, McDonald's and other shops and restaurants. This L&L is in it's stand-alone building with ample parking. The inside is has a bunch of booth seating and a long bench for folks waiting for To-Go orders. This location is a bit strong with oil smell. When you walk in, you can tell that a lot of their choices are deep fried and/or greasy. Most days I'm all about it, this day, I wasn't. The staff is pretty fast paced. They kind of have an expectation that you will know what you want, the minute you enter. I was kind of turned off by that. I ordered a plate and was about to order a side dish and they thought I was finished with my order.
Speaking of orders, I got the Hawaiian BBQ Mix plate and a spam musubi. Total cost, including tax was $11.46. The spam musubi is pretty self explanatory. They don't use a sweet agent like Teriyaki, so it's super salty. Less rice than other places I'm used to so I appreciate that, as you can taste the spam. The mix plate includes BBQ beef, chicken and short ribs, rice and macaroni salad. I really liked the flavor of this dish! The short ribs were marinated well and everything was nicely grilled! I was really enjoying the flavor. So packed with amazing BBQ flavor! Highly recommended.
At the end of the day, the location is alright. I think the BBQ mix plate is what will bring me back. I do have my favorite Hawaiian BBQ joints, but L&L does offer some great grub. I'll definitely be back when I'm having another mix plate craving!
