| - This location is close enough to UNLV to get in and out of on lunch hour. And, there's usually adequate parking out front. It can also be quick, if you order something easy to prep like the mini laulau plate. Probably just a quick toss in the steamer or microwave and that ti leaf bundle of luau leaves, pork and salted fish is hot and ready to roll (I got my order in minutes, ahead of the group that ordered in front of me).
I usually forget to ask for substitutions of brown rice and green salad, so I end up picking at the glutinous white rice and mac salad, but anyway it's primarily the protein I'm after. Plus, the laulau satisfies my dietary need.
The day I visited, there were a couple of tables open in the modest dining area and as far as cleanliness goes, it was okay. I would love to have received some genuinely friendly counter service, but didn't. In reality, the cashiers at L&L locations are usually more accustomed to obtaining a quick food order and ringing it up, than providing patrons with a stellar customer experience--that's just how it goes.
That being said, it's an average kind of plate lunch place--adequate for a quick meal, selected from a diverse menu. If you want a higher level of customer service and much more flavorful Hawaii island-style food, you know Yelpers will help you find someplace way mo' bettah!
