| - This is actually the first L&L I have been to on the Mainland. I have to say, it wasn't bad.
Having lived on Oahu, I had one near my house & would go there every now & again, just cuz it was close by & when I needed my Teri BBQ fix or chow mein, from this particular location anyways. It was good in a pinch, when I couldn't get to my non-chain faves. But on Oahu they are all hit or miss. Some have different items, to include Chinese fare. However, the quality & choices vary by location.
I have been to a few of the other Hawaiian BBQ places near my side of town (the now defunct Aloha A Go Go & Aloha Kitchen, not so great review to follow on the latter) & have been pretty disappointed. Especially in the mac salad!
So, as far as this place goes...4 stars for the portions! I had the large BBQ mix plate. I opened up the container & was pleasantly surprised! 2 nice big slabs of Kalbi, about 3 slices or so of Teri Beef & about 3 HUGE pieces of Teri Chicken, 2 scoops rice & 1 scoop mac salad. All I gotta say is...WOW! Great flavor on everything, especially the mac salad, just as good as any I have had in Hawaii!! This was the next best thing to being in Hawaii :) My roomie, Nicki G. had the same, but with triple mac salad!!! Ever since I turned her onto Hawaiian BBQ, she can't get enough.
I left off the 5th star for cleanliness & the flat fountain Dr Pepper :( Oh yeah & cuz they serve Pepsi!! One thing I would love to see as a beverage, that some of the ones in Hawaii have...Slushies...with ice cream in them!!
My roomie has been to the Centennial one & says this location has better portions. I am going to try the one closer to me, in Summerlin. Hopefully this one will e as good, otherwise I will be driving over to the East side to get my fix. Oh & trust me, I will!!
