HAWAIIAN BARBECUE! A quick

HawaiiStories: Hawaiian Barbecue January 13, 2003 Hawaiian Barbecue Imagine my surprise the other day when I drove past a sign here in the San Francisco bay area. The sign read: GRAND OPENING! HAWAIIAN BARBECUE! A quick u-turn brought me into the shopping plaza parking lot. Sure enough, nestled right there between a SuperCuts and a Radio Shack was a brand-spanking new branch of L & L Drive-Inn . I didn't even know that there were branches of L & L outside of Hawaii. It turns out that this Daly City location is the 13th in California. It's certainly the closest to San Francisco. They call the restaurant L & L Hawaiian Barbecue out here, but it's the exact same place. The restauarant was crowded, and the food was good. Posted by Bill at January 13, 2003 03:04 AM Comments Posted by Sherry on January 13, 2003 06:27 AM : I wish someone would open an L&L here, in central Texas. Island food just is not the same here ---- if it has a pineapple slice on it, it's considered Hawaiian. Gimme a box lunch! Posted by Marilyn on January 13, 2003 06:54 AM : Could you give the address of the L&L Drive inn in Daly City? Always up for a taste of Hawaii on the mainland. I've tried the Ono Hawaiian Grill in Half Moon Bay. The Ono Chicken tasted a bit burnt, Saimin was good, but nothing like Hamura's in Kauai. Posted by Ryan on January 13, 2003 07:18 AM : Too cool! Actually, my father knows the founder and my mother's bank finances them, so I've been following that local success story. I knew they were expanding to the Mainland (as is, I believe, Coco Ichibanya Curry House!), but it's good to read the doors have already opened. And that the place was doing well already! if it has a pineapple slice on it, it's considered Hawaiian Bwah! And if it's fried in shoyu, it's Asian! Here's the list of locations for L&L in Hawaii, California, Nevada... and Washington! The restaurant in Lynnwood, WA opens Jan. 20, in Pico Rivera, CA on Jan. 28, in Sahara Square in Las Vegas, NV in February, and the aforementioned Hayward location in March. Go Eddie Flores! Posted by lemurs on January 13, 2003 08:05 AM : I saw that! The one opening in lynnwood has me excited, although Lynnwood is so far north (almost an hour's drive away) that it's more like a tease than a realization of a dream. I suppose an hour drive beats a 5 hour plane trip though. We could really use one on the south side, however, and if I could get bank financing, I'd open one myself. I know the perfect place. Please do share more information about Coco Ichibanya's expansion. How did you find out about that? Posted by James on January 13, 2003 12:06 PM : Lynnwood, Washington? I will have to call my Dad and tell him to go check it out. But before I send him out to try the Hawaiian cuisine on the mainland, can any one tell me where to find an L&L here in Honolulu? There is still so much I havn't got to experience. And if it tastes burnt, it's cajun. Posted by Albert on January 13, 2003 12:22 PM : Where to find an L&L in Honolulu??!! It's difficult NOT to find one, wherever you look. Ala Moana Shopping Center, the Ward 16 theatre complex ... just for easy starters. p.s. Likelike is better. Posted by Bill on January 13, 2003 05:34 PM : Marilyn, the L&L is on El Camino Real in Daly City. It's in an Albertson's shopping plaza, the one with the Jollibee's. (Are all y'all familiar with Jollibee's, the fast food restauarant from the Philippines? I've only ever seen them in Daly City, but I'm sure there must be other branches out there.) Posted by NemesisVex on January 13, 2003 09:58 PM : Ryan and/or Jen, One of you told me a story about how L&L earned the nickname "salmoneL&L". Guess it had to do with one of their chicken dishes. I remember the L&L's in Puck's Alley. What a dump. My Freshmen 15 was a direct result of my patronage there. Posted by tyd on January 14, 2003 09:27 AM : I was looking at the locations, and noticed the one opening in Lynnwood. Wow.. that's only 2 miles away. I'm excited to give it a try. Posted by Jason Tokuda on January 18, 2003 09:59 PM : It's difficult finding plate lunches here in Oregon. There's on place call Noho's that has some good food, but the average plate lunch is around 10 bucks. Posted by grant on January 21, 2003 11:58 AM : There's quite a bit of local style places to eat in Northern California, and Cali in general. There's a Hawaiian Drive In in Redwood City, CA that is exactly like L&L. I've also been to the one in Daly City. We also frequent Aloha Family Resturant in Milpitas (http://www.alohafamilyrestaurant.com/). For more local food places in the Bay Area check out http://pw1.netcom.com/~halkop/food.html btw...Hukilau (http://www.hukilau.tv) is opening another location in San Jose this weekend, 1/25. Posted by tyd on January 25, 2003 06:37 PM : the Lynnwood L&L drive in opened today... and it was packed. I have a feeling it will be getting alot of good business in this area. =) Posted by Jamaal on February 5, 2003 11:34 PM : Can anyone tell me about any CoCo curry House Ichibanya locations in the states? I heard that they are going to start selling stock. Does anyone have a ticker symbol? Help!!!!!! Posted by Glen Miyashiro on February 7, 2003 12:09 PM : L&L Hawaiian Barbecue is opening a new restaurant in Manchester, Connecticut ! Wonder how they'll do over there? Posted by Jerry on February 26, 2003 03:21 AM : L & L has opened in Lynnwood WA and on friday and saturday nights be prepared to wait in line. I have yet to see it in the month it has been opened not be packed on the weekends. During lunch its not to crowded when I go around 11 after about 11:30 I am not sure what its like. Posted by Marijo Mulcahy on March 1, 2003 06:16 PM : PLEASE CONTACT MY HUSBAND I, WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN OPENING L AND L IN THE WASHINGTON DC AREA. MY DAD IS BUISNESS CONSULTANT IN HONOLULU, JOSEPH HALE , THANKS. Posted by Ryan on March 2, 2003 10:47 PM : Um, Marijo, you can always visit the L&L Drive-Inn website , which features contact information for the company: 931 University Avenue, Suite 202 Honolulu, Hawaii 96826 Phone: (808) 951-9888 Fax: (808) 951-0888 Email: info@hawaiianbarbecue.com Posted by Marty Norfleet on March 11, 2003 08:29 PM : What is the address or phone number of the Jollibees in L.A. California? Posted by Vicki on March 16, 2003 02:03 PM : Imagine *MY* surprise when driving down Broad Street in Manchester, CT and I see a sign for *HAWAIIAN* barbecue! I almost drove off the road! Can't wait until it's opened - we'll probably be regulars! Posted by Jen on March 18, 2003 12:41 PM : I used to wait on Eddie Flores when I worked at Tower. Rude, obnoxious, cheap little man. The L&L on Kapiolani by Ala Moana has kind of a bad reputation, which is unfortunate and kind of unfair. That particular branch was nicknamed "salmonel&l" because my coworker came down with something after eating there. If you need to bribe me, L&L's chicken katsu curry is the best way to do it. Posted by Betty Chew-Sedeno on April 27, 2003 10:33 AM : What is the name of the place in Redwood City and Daily City? We been trying to find a place close to where we live in Fremont, Calif. We really would appreciate it and wouldn't mind drive. Thank you, Betty Posted by Betty Chew-Sedeno on April 27, 2003 10:33 AM : What is the name of the place in Redwood City and Daily City?

Thank you, Betty Posted by OSO-ONO on April 28, 2003 09:39 AM : Betty, here's the address of the L&L in Daly City: Mission Plaza Shopping Center 6893 Mission Street Daly City, CA 94014 (650) 756-7188 To find other Bay Area Hawaiian restaurants go here: http://pw1.netcom.com/~halkop/food.html BTW, keep your eye out for our authentic made-from-scratch OSO-ONO malasadas. Very soon you'll be able to purchase them in Bay Area restaurants. Aloha, Wayne Posted by OSO-ONO on April 28, 2003 09:44 AM : OOPS! Betty, forgot to mention Kilohana Grill in San Ramon that opened a few months ago. http://kilohanagrill.com/ Also, L&L will be opening in Hayward in May. Wayne Posted by Gail on June 2, 2003 11:45 AM : Website is down . . . need address for Hayward location! HELP! Posted by Ryan on June 3, 2003 08:31 AM : Gayle, they might have given up the "lldriveinn.com" website address, but they're still up and running at " hawaiianbarbeque.com . Their list of locations has the information you seek... Oliver's Corner's Shopping Center on Hesperian Blvd. Posted by lemurs on June 9, 2003 11:22 AM : And for those of you in the Seattle area that don't want to drive all the way to Lynnwood for L&L there's a new place called "Bobby's Hawaiian Style Restaurant" in the Great Wall Mall (down by Ikea). A bit pricier than most plate lunch places, but it's an actual sit-down restaurant. Posted by JayO on June 12, 2003 06:18 AM : Aloha all! I just tried the brand new L&L in Hayward next to Kaiser Hospital. It's the BOMB! It's just like being back home in the Islands. You also might wanna try "Ono's" in Half Moon Bay. The loco moco is outta dis world brah. Mahalo! Posted by Eunice on June 12, 2003 11:39 AM : The L & L in Hayward is now open. Everything there is ONO. They even have Haupia and Malasadas (catering only). Check it out! Posted by Jaylen on June 13, 2003 12:38 AM : There is a Hawaiian BBQ place in St. Louis, MO. on Olive Street. not the same company but it's a wonderful place. Anytime I get home sick I can go have a plate lunch there. yummy! Posted by Crystal suan on July 3, 2003 08:00 AM : Jollibee is also at the Union Landing in Union City on the corner of Dyer Ave and Smith St off of Hwy 880. Posted by Terry on July 9, 2003 08:04 PM : Hey all! Check out "Hawaiian Walk-in" restaurant in Downtown Oakland, 15th St. between Broadway and Franklin. Owned by Oahu locals. good, cheap, quick and they have POG! Posted by Gary on August 7, 2003 06:40 AM : Aloha, everyone. I'm interested in opening an L&L restaurant in Northern California. But I need more customer input before taking the risk. I've tracked the openings of three L&L Drive-Inns (San Pablo, Hercules, Vallejo). For some reason the L&L website no longer lists the San Pablo location. Does anyone no if it closed down and if so, why? And also, please tell me how the other two are doing. Is the food as good as all the hype or really as good as it is back home (not just as close as it gets for being in California)? Also, do you see a good mix of caucasian customers and not just Hawaiian locals? Good food should attract all cultures. If it truly is that good, I'm all for spreading the aloha and establishing another L&L in northern California. Maybe more than one more if it's really that successful. Your question might be where I might be thinking of opening, but this needs to be a secret. Otherwise, someone else might try to beat me to this location first. Again, aloha everybody and appreciate the input anyone can give. I hope the one I open will be within 20 minutes of you :0) P.S. Can someone also give me information on where some L&Ls in California are getting their malasadas, Laulau, and haupia from. I'm interested in contacting their suppliers. Mahalo, Gary Posted by The Meyers Family on August 7, 2003 04:36 PM : Aloha, my name is Noelle Meyers and my mom was wondering cause she don't know much about and how to use the computer, so I'm sending this in for her. Well, we were all wondering how to get involved like everybody else and any information about the new L&L drive inn in Lynwood. If there is a place to get new Hawaiian recipes and Hawaiian barbecue too. We just found out about this web site and now we want to get involved, so if anyone has any information to share with us on how to get together with everybody on this site much mahalo! Posted by amy on September 17, 2003 12:49 AM : if you open a location in san jose,ca...it will be a sure hit! the hawaiian place we go to is hukilau's downtown sj,but that resturant doesn't serve bbq stuff..just everything else but that!We drive to the l&l's locations in daly city mainly because it's cleaner than the other ones..and it's a bit bigger also..we're waiting for the hayward one to open...but just lettin you know that you do open in san jose...i have no doubt in my mind..it will be a success! Posted by Tom Heison on September 27, 2003 10:39 PM : Do not go to any L&L hawaii,I used to work there for Eddie Flores & Johnson Kam, these are 2 little slicky men. They've bad reputation in the public regarding discrimination by people races when you come to buy their franchise for $500k. In fact, Lynnwood is ran by their daughtr Eva who is a little bitch, always yell people to work & work like a dog. She hated Chinese, Filipino or even White neck. Please try to force them out for business "DO NOT EAT THERE". Best Regards, Tom Heison Posted by wayne kageyama on December 31, 2003 07:11 PM : I read that you will be opening a L&L in Arizona?What part of Arizona are you planning on opening your restaurant?I live in Chandler arizona it is about 20 miles south of Phoenix. Wayne Posted by Jay Lee on January 10, 2004 10:13 PM : Reaction towards Tom Heison's post. I used to work for L&L here in California managing two of their locations. I have a number of things in mind against L&L's practices but I do resent the fact that you called Eva a bitch. I have worked with Eva when they started the Gardena location and worked with her until she left for Lynwood. She is the nicest person and will work the dirtiest of jobs despite the fact that her father co-owns the entire franchising operation. Where did you get the idea that Eva works people like dogs? I distinctly remembered her arguing with one manager about working people like slaves. I've seen her do every job there is to do in the store. She even volunteered to clean the toilet. She has never asked someone to do a job that she isn't willing to do herself. Posted by Sharon on February 11, 2004 03:54 PM : The best L&L I"ve ever had was the one on University, near UH Manoa in Puck's alley. That same skinny chinese/korean guy who's grilling up the meat for the bbq plate on the grill that has never been cleaned and has a nice, thick layer of hardened oil and shoyu sauce. We saw a lot of cockaroaches there! It is the best and always will be. The one in Kahului and Lahaina was terrible. I guess because they are a huge franchise and it seems like it's kind of generic tasting now and missing that onolicious - come back for more grilled flavor. The chicken was very watery and lacking flavor for both places. After that, I never went back to those 'generic' L&Ls. My family feels the same. If you want the real deal, go to the one in Puck's Alley. Hopefully that skinny guy still works there and didn't die from cancer. its da grinds! i'm gonna check out the one in washington and see how it is. we are still excited! University/Puck's Alley 1035 University Avenue, #103 Honolulu, HI 96826 (808) 946-8455 Posted by John on February 11, 2004 10:00 PM : I just went to the website and saw that the one in Oregon isn't listed. I believe it was in Beaverton, just outside of Aloha. What happened? The place was small and cozy, but was still good. Posted by Sharon on February 12, 2004 01:09 AM : Went to the Lynnwood L&L tonight. It was pretty good. My brother got the bbq plate and asked them to 'char' it real good like. They just have a flat fryer and not the grill, but it was still good. It smelled just like I remember! mmmmm The macaroni salad was good too. It was nice to see local people there. Felt like I was on Maui...Weird. Just like in hawaii.... Thumbs up! We will be going there a lot! Posted by JB on February 13, 2004 09:32 AM : When I went to Las Vegas in 2002 to vist other ex-pat kama'aina friends, I TRIPPED OUT to see an L & L (and fell to my feet with happiness and joy!!!). Of course, when I went "home" to get married to my wife in Jan, 2003, I introduced her to the joys of L & L. She and I live in Virginia and we are both CERTAIN that people in the south would LOVE L & L and that the chain could do well. In fact, I made two important discoveries living in Virginia for the past 9 years: 1) "Portagee Sausage" is called Chorizo in the rest of the world (sometimes Linguica) 2) Southern Bar-be-que (Pulled Pork) is awefully close in texture and appearance to Kalua Pig. I think other parts of the country (Other than the obvious areas of the West Coast where many ex-pats have found refuge) will LOVE L & L. I tell you what, if they find a way to freeze-dry and ship the product such that I can nuke it here on the other end, I will BUY!!!!! J- Posted by Terry on March 2, 2004 09:17 AM : I understand the frustration people are finding when looking for the "hawaiianbarbeque.com" website. I tried it too, with no success. I eventually found it by going to GOOGLE.COM and entering 'L&L Drive In, in Hawaii' That should bring up several choices for info on that WONDERFUL place! Hope this helps anyone lost in the search. Posted by Jamaal on April 6, 2004 08:29 PM : Anyone ever eat at Coco's Curry house? I heard there is one in California if you have ANY info let it out. Posted by frank on April 12, 2004 08:53 AM : I heard there is there one opening in NYC? Does anyone have info? Posted by madnamo on May 26, 2004 08:01 PM : The L&L Hawaiian Barbeque Restaurant is NOW OPEN in Elk Grove, Calif., which is about 15 miles south of Sacramento (and a mile from my hale). It's at the corner of Laguna Boulevard and Bruceville Road. Ironically, it is next to the Aloha Sushi restaurant. Talk about an enclave for locals! Posted by Brandon @ L&L Hawaiian Barbecue on May 28, 2004 10:27 AM : Yes! Elk Grove now has an L&L Hawaiian Barbecue ! Their address is as follows: Elk Grove L&L 7419 Laguna Blvd., Ste., #120 Elk Grove, CA 95758 Ph: (916) 478-3768 Fax: (916) 478-3798 Now residents of Elk Grove and our Hawaii "kamaaina" in the area have the opportunity to enjoy great Hawaiian barbecue at reasonable prices! The Elk Grove L&L also caters for parties, great for get togethers and gatherings! Visit our website at www.hawaiianbarbecue.com for more details! Mahalo! Posted by Brandon on May 28, 2004 10:34 AM : L & L at NYC will be at 535 8th Avenue West. Four blocks from Times Square. It will open in September. Posted by David on June 8, 2004 12:32 PM : Ono in Half Moon Bay rocks! My wife and I compare it to Hawaiian Plate Lunch in Lahaina, Maui. The Hawaiian Drive Inn in Redwood City is a dive, but the food is great, too, and the prices aren't bad. I'm going to try out the South San Francisco one tonight, hopefully it's just as good. I wasn't all that impressed with the L&L in Daly City. Their chicken leaves a lot to be desired, altho the mac salad is pretty damn good... Posted by The L&L Fan on June 9, 2004 03:56 PM : More L&L's to come! -Northridge (CA) -Oceanside #2 (CA) -Pasadena (CA) -South Point (CA) -Aurora (CO) -Sahara @ Mission Center (NV) The addresses for these locations are at http://www.hawaiianbarbecue.com/hawaiian_bbq_loc.html and they also have a listing of the new stores opening up in the future! Go L&L! Posted by 7train on June 14, 2004 02:52 AM : L&L is finally coming to NYC! (and just a 20 minute ride on the IRT from my apt. too..) Please tell me this is not a hoax or urban legend!!!:-) Bowing in gratitude!!! Posted by stephen (aka) Ezzie on July 4, 2004 12:54 AM : Traveled Da world and L&L is the common place here, But my braddas & sistahs I know how it is when you feel like other than a CHEESE BURGAH! You know, stick buttah.block cheese!!die et! These people are trying their best to satisfy all you folks with their skills and hard driven talent bringing comfort to those who miss home. And missing home is a understatement!. Just keep in mind these people came to you! And if you feel the food is not up to par, get an ap. and help out! Or you can always come home to catch some surf and sun. Then go get a REAL PLATE LUNCH:) Posted by mae637 on August 2, 2004 08:28 PM : I'm originally from Northern Cali and now living in Utah. Everytime I go home I HAVE to have some Hawaiian BBQ!!! and Just last week I found that L&L opened here in Provo!!! I was so excited!!! Its just a 10 minute drive. It taste EXACTLY the same and I didn't know it would!! Posted by Linda on September 4, 2004 07:04 AM : The Aurora Co location is open.It's at 14221 E.Cedar Av,UnitC.I just happened upon it.The LauLau was wonderful. Posted by Becca on September 5, 2004 03:38 PM : HELP!! I'm moving to Round Rock, Texas (15 min. north of N. Austin). I need an L & L! Is there an L & L anywhere close? If not, can someone put one there? havn't had teriyake chicken and potato-mac in 7 years. I'm still having withdrawls!! Posted by John Carino on September 9, 2004 11:00 AM : I'm inquiring about the franchise business with l&L BBQ. If you could give me some information about a turn key operation or an established restaurant franchise business for sale. Thank you for your consideration Posted by Lenn on November 5, 2004 09:24 AM : Hey Brah! When we get mo' L&L in Washington? Too damn cold to drive to Lynwood. Tacoma would be ONO! Mahalo & Aloha to everybody still back home. Posted by lehua on November 5, 2004 03:19 PM : HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LIVE IN BAKERSFIELD,CA AND THERE ARE NO GOOD PLACES TO EAT AT LIKE BACK HOME!! I MISS MY CHICKEN KATSU. YUMMY! PLEASE SEND A L&L MY WAY PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Posted by steve liu on November 30, 2004 01:59 PM : Can you let me know the store phoenix and the address? thank you. Posted by eddie on December 22, 2004 01:33 PM : You can check L & L website for the Phoenix address. www.hawaiianbarbecue.com Posted by jimmy on December 23, 2004 02:34 AM : I used to like L&L's when they started to get popular about 10 years ago. Eating their chicken katsu was wonderful back then, but now; I feel that their quality of food overal has degraded somewhat. I'm sure there are other restaurants that serve better tasting plate lunches and/or local food. Maybe we like certain restaurants that serve a particular item, maybe this is the case for L&L's chicken katsu. As for it being called "L&L Hawaiian Barbecue", do they even use a barbecue grill to cook their meats? I mean, they call their foods "barbecued", but in reality their foods are cooked with oil on a flat top grill, not a barbecue grill over a fire(gas or real charcoal bricks). Well, enough with my ranting and the specifics. Long live L&L's chicken katsu! Posted by JayBee on January 7, 2005 03:50 PM : What I wanna know is... how do they get the L&L and Diners Chicken Katsu to taste the way it does. I have been away for 10 years now and have to rely on visist to the west coast or Hawaii to get my plate lunch fix. I miss the "pass out plates." I make chicken Katsu from recipes from hawaii websites (finding the Panko is the trick), but it just doesn't taste like local-style plate lunch. I can make a loco moco that comes close. J Posted by eddie on January 18, 2005 06:41 PM : The secret is the cooking. The deep fryer has to be hot and at the right temperature. It is cheaper to eat at L & L Hawaiian Barbecue. Posted by GAYLORD G. BOWDEN on February 7, 2005 06:12 AM : i am intersted in buying stock in this co. could you let me know if it is availble ,on what exchange or how do i buy it.or let me know when it is avaible. GAYLORD G. BOWDEN HAVE A GOOD DAY Posted by elisia on February 19, 2005 09:55 PM : L & L is a private company. It does not sell stock. This year, L & L will open 50 new locations all over the country. You can check the new locations at www.hawaiianbarbecue.com Posted by Ryan on April 19, 2005 09:54 PM : I dont know if anyone mentioned that there is also a L & L hawaiian barbecue in Pasadena, CA (just close by old town Pasadena on Arroyo ParkWay, Across the street from Houston's). Just some FYI for anyone looking around Glendale, CA area. Posted by Ryan on April 19, 2005 10:00 PM : A little question out of the L&L topic, anyone know any Ono's Hawaiianstyle Kitchen around my area in Los Angeles, CA??? I miss the Lau Lau, Lomi Lomi Salmon, Haupia... Posted by KirkK on April 22, 2005 12:18 PM : Ryan - When we lived in LA, we used to drive to Bruddah's Hawaiian Foods 1033 W. Gardena Blvd, Gardena, CA 90247-4957 Phone: (310) 323-9112 It wuz quite a haul since we lived in Hacienda Heights - but they were pretty good. You might try the Great Plate Lunch Connection: http://alohaworld.com/platelunch/ - A good reference for expat Kama'aina's Posted by Mike on April 22, 2005 03:18 PM : Ryan-- you're in luck. An Ono's is about to open on Sunset Blvd., in the new "Sunset at St. Andrews" strip mall across the street from the Home Depot (just east of the 101). Not sure when they're opening, but the sign is up and they're hiring. P.S. The Pasadena location of L&L is great. Small, but clean -- and the food is just like back home. Posted by BARBARA SCHOOLEY on May 1, 2005 01:55 PM : I HEARD THAT YOU WERE OPENING A L$L HAWAIIAN BBQ IN ILLINOIS?? CAN YOU GIVE ME THE ADDRESS & PHONE #.IT WOULD BE APPRECIATIVE.MAHALO BARB Posted by KirkK on May 2, 2005 08:03 AM : L&L in Ill is located at: Champaign Now Open! 402 E.

But Chicago has a family owned plate-lunch place opened in Summer '04: Aloha Grill 2534 N Clark www.alohagrillbbq.com Owners are from Hawaii(they talk to everyone!), everyone's pretty nice, and it's not a giant franchise. Oh, yeah - and THE FOOD IS ONO!!! CHOKE PORTIONS, TOO!!! A little less homesick now... I asked if they were going to franchise (farther north would be good), but they're still working on the first one. Anyone else been? -A Posted by katie on June 26, 2005 05:33 AM : How bout happenings in Utah. I am getting married in July and will have my future in-laws here for the wedding in Salt Lake City. They are originally from Maui and we want to have some Ono Hawaiian food for a family dinner. Posted by cat on July 13, 2005 12:56 PM : For those of you who live in Sacramento, L and L is popping all over the place.. Elk Grove, Rooseville, El Camino. I learn about the restaturant in Vallejo and I drove an hour just to eat local food. Posted by Eleanor on August 17, 2005 09:12 PM : Where are you located in the Bay Area-San Francisco area? This site offers nothing about locations. How do you get business? Posted by Dan on August 25, 2005 03:55 PM : Hey everyone, I have a tough question for you. So does anyone know of a place near San Francisco that sells good Malasadas or Cream Puffs? Thanks. Posted by Dylan on September 12, 2005 05:17 AM : L&L is in NYC. I was walking with my wife today when I saw those two letters,"L&L." After a closer look I realized it was an L&L Drive-in, complete with Hawaii reviews posted on the window. Location: Fulton & Gold St. Posted by Khara on September 23, 2005 08:28 PM : That's great Dylan that you saw an L&L In New York. I work at many L&L Locations here in San Diego, California and many of our workers went to New York to help them open. I hope you had a pleasent experience.

I recently enjoyed a plate when I went back home for a month. My niece even work's at one!! I wish they would go beyond Hawaii & open some up here in CA. We have L&L the Hawaiian joint but there curry is actually awful from my experience. But everything else they have on the menu is very good. We go at least once a month. What I wish is for an Okinawan joint to open up with Okinawan food. Posted by Sandra on December 29, 2005 08:21 AM : L&L is open in San Francisco, I've waited so long for this. I live in Pacifica and have enjoyed L&L in Daly City, San Bruno and Pacifica! I do have to say LikeLike is better! not so commercialized. Posted by Missy on January 2, 2006 02:23 PM : L&L is now open in San Jose. I ate there over the holidays, and it was awesome. Great food (just like home) and very friendly staff.
