| - Since I have moved from Tempe and I haven't been able to get my Hawaiian bbq fix from mai islands, I drove all the over to this L&L franchise..
I recently went to a place closer to my house that turned itself into a Chinese food and Hawaiian bqq place, and I have to admit that so far (in my quest), L&L had a better taste then the converted wok and grill place, however, it still isn't close to as good as Mai Islands (my fav place in Tempe)..
The macaroni salad and rice here were good quality, but the actual chicken just didn't cut it for me. It was a bit Rubbery and I couldn't cut it with a fork (I had to ask for a knife).. The service was sub par because a number of reasons.
1) After they took an order, the people left the front area, so you had to wait for someone to notice that you are waiting in the front to ask for a knife, sauce, etc..
2) The language barrier is pretty bad.. I feel like we both have no idea what the other person is saying..
3) Other then the Hello at the beginning, they weren't the friendliness.
Overall, the place is ok, not bad, not great, just ok and nothing compared to the place in Tempe.
I am going to take a trip to the other major franchise place and hope that it's closer to quality of the Tempe place.
