I'm always down for some Spam musubi which I usally get when I come into L&L. This latest visit was no exception.
This was my first visit to the location on South Boulder Highway. It is a smaller restaurant with not many table and not much room. It was kind of crowded on a Saturday afternoon. Luckily I beat the crowd and had my order before the biggest group of 6 even placed theirs. I ordered, as mentioned, my customary Spam musubi and a katsu chicken bowl. The musubi was quite good with a nice slice of Spam, sufficient sauce and the nori wrap was perfectly tender and not too tough. The katsu bowl was just alright. The katsu was was perfect and crispy the way it should be. The broccoli was over cooked and the rice seemed to be headed that way too. There was katsu sauce on the table but it seemed a bit thin. It tasted fine and went well on the katsu and rice. With a little bit of added Sriracha I had a full flavored dish. I didn't actually finish my bowl. I left about half the rice since I had just eaten the musubi. I didn't feel I needed the extra rice. It was a bit soft for my liking any how.
This is a small location but it is very clean and colorful. The inside looks new despite the aging exterior of the building which it occupies. I may come back here again though there are closer Hawaiian places. This one happens to be near to the Smith's Grocery I shop at. It makes it a worth while and convenient stop so I don't have to shop on an empty stomach.
