That's exactly how I feel about Mahalo Hawaii BBQ. Over the course of several years, I had visited L & L Drive-Inn near the corner of Kalakaua Avenue and Young Street (restaurant #12 for those in the know) whenever I wanted something quick and inexpensive to eat -- most often, it was the mini chicken katsu , or the mini loco moco . On a visit about six months ago, I discovered that this place had changed, it was not L & L anymore, it was now Mahalo Hawaii. Inside, the tables and fixed seating were the same. The walls had been painted over with some bright yellow and orange paint. And then there were the light fixtures. Tiny pendant lamps hung over the tables casting a strange orange glow over the place. Instead of the usual stuff that I normally order, I decided on the mini general's chicken with fried rice (US$5.00; regular plate, US$7.95). The fried rice was quite bland in the typical fast food, plate lunch place way and contained frozen peas and carrots, lots of onions and tiny bits of egg. There were two pieces of steamed broccoli instead of the generic macaroni salad, and a huge mound of general's chicken. Now, when I asked what this was, the girl at the counter (who was new, I suppose) told me that this was spicy "orange flavored" chicken. When I tasted it, it was neither orange flavored, nor was it spicy. Go figure. It was probably the restaurant's attempted at serving General Tso's chicken. Now I don't know of this is a Chinese creation or an American Chinese creation, but I do remember that I ate it for the first time at either a Hunan Garden or Ollie's Noodle Shop in New York City in the late 80's or early 90's. On another occasion, I had the chicken katsu and fried mahi mixed plate (US$5.75). A deep fried piece of mahi mahi was served alongside some deep fried chicken katsu . It's stuff like this that makes me really love places like this. In fact, I think they were made to serve this type of artery clogging goodness. Most often times, at least in my opinion, the deep fried stuff is generally the best stuff on the menu. Too bad I couldn't eat this all the time. Mahalo Hawaii BBQ, much like the L & L's before it, doesn't really serve the best food in town, but it's OK. If you're on a budget, you will get a huge portion of food for your dollar which makes this an attractive deal for many. Mahalo Hawaii continues to offer the same menu as L & L -- local style plate lunches and sandwiches with a few pseudo Chinese dishes added on for good measure. One thing for sure, the service here is fast and most often times pleasant.

Sure is colorful. That mini General's Chicken is pretty cute. Allen Posted by: Allen Wong | August 23, 2005 at 07:46 PM That has got to be the most cheerfully-colored restaurant I've seen in ages. Plus, the chicken and friend rice look mighty tempting to me. Posted by: Midge | August 23, 2005 at 09:02 PM Not that mini eh.. Reid.. :) Would be a good meal for me.. :) Posted by: Big BoK | August 24, 2005 at 12:44 AM i donno brah....da fried rice no look dat ono brah....but da chicken does! Posted by: kelly | August 24, 2005 at 11:47 AM plus whea da mac salad brah? at least cabbage or someting ....da kine broccoli just doesn't cut it brah! Posted by: kelly | August 24, 2005 at 11:49 AM I had a plate before climbing Diamond Head, couple years back and was worried it was gonna be too heavy but it was perfect. 2 Slices of Spam, I egg and 1 scoop of Rice. Oh I forgot the Tabasco shots. Posted by: Gia | August 24, 2005 at 12:12 PM sounds like one spam locco brah! Posted by: kelly | August 24, 2005 at 01:02 PM those sauce glistening on the chicken pieces... oh dear i think i've sauce fetish hahaha Posted by: babe_kl | August 24, 2005 at 04:46 PM Reid - Not to jump to conclusions, since you haven't finished the review yet - but though the General Tso's Chicken looks pretty good - looks too close to Panda Express for me. Posted by: Kirk | August 24, 2005 at 07:08 PM I second your opinion Kirk. Here in the SF Bay Area, we're bombarded with L&L knock-offs called Ono Hawaiian BBQ or J&J or Hawaiian Drive Inn. Unfortunately, these folks are all pakes from China...nothing wrong with that but no mo' da aloha spirit...food no taste da same. I guess I can't complain..better than my brother in Texas..no mo nothing! ;-) Sad statement that an L&L can't make it in Hawaii, but I never really thought of L&L as the best plate lunch. There are better options... Posted by: 808650foodie | August 24, 2005 at 07:33 PM Here in San Diego it's the same, lot's of Hawaiian BBQ's. The funniest thing is that a new L&L opened up - right next to a Starbucks! How appropriate! Reid - Please tell me you were trying to be healthy with that broccoli thing!!! That 'M' sure looks like the Golden Arches!!! Posted by: Kirk | August 24, 2005 at 08:00 PM Hi Allen, The decor was actually pretty bright, but also quite generic. I think my photo made it more glamous than it actually was. The mini plates are actually regular sized servings for normal people. The regular plates are normal sized servings for those of us in Hawaii used to eating way too much food in one sitting! Hi Midge, The orange and yellow color scheme does make it seems quite bright and cheerful. The new pendant lamps that the restaurant has, adds a sort of faux designer touch to it all. The fried rice was typically so-so, as was the chicken. *sigh* Hi Big BoK, Not that mini is right. You could probably eat that and feel full afterwards. I normally do. When I get the regular sized plates, I normally feel stuffed after eating it all...that is, if I can finish the whole plate. Eh Kelly, Da fried rice wasn't dat ono. Bummahs... Yeah, too bad nevah have some mac salad fo go wit dis. heh. Hi Gia, Sounds like you had a typical local-style breakfast. Sounds kinda light to me. Next time you should try a loco moco. Substitute a hamburger patty for the Spam, and then cover the whole thing in brown gravy. Bet you wouldnn't feel like hiking after that. =) Eh Kelly, Spam loco sounds good right about now. heh. Hi babe_kl, The picture does look nice doesn't it? Too bad it didn't taste as good as it looked. =( Hi Kirk, Way too close to Panda's, but I have to say that Panda's would have probably tasted better. So I guess you know what that means right? Hi 808650foodie, Well, this L & L was around for a long time. I was told that the manager of this shop purchased the store from the owners just recently. Apparently, L & L is going strong here in the Islands, and it was announced in the papers that all of the L & L Drive Inns are going to be rebranded as L & L Hawaiian Barbecues. Not bad for a local company. I have to agree though that the plate lunches here aren't the greatest, but like Starbucks, they are everywhere in the Islands. The convenience, as well as the price, makes this a good option for many people. Hi Kirk, I actually didn't have a choice with the broccoli. It came with the plate. Besides, who am I to eat healthy! When I first saw the arched M, I thought the same thing as well. hmmmmm. Posted by: Reid | August 24, 2005 at 11:30 PM Hey! I like broccoli :P :P I bet it tasted better than that pallid, scratch that squalid looking fried rice! OMG whata shocka... well if you are going to get all hawaian on me.... :) Posted by: clare eats | August 25, 2005 at 02:45 AM ::rolls her eyes and pats Clare on the shoulder:: Good shot girlie. I think we "outsiders" need to get a book to do it right... ::wink:: Posted by: Jo | August 25, 2005 at 07:38 AM Give credit to L&L for "Starbucking" the Plate Lunch. They are convenient and for the most part consistent in quality. Here on the West Coast, more competitors are coming in to challenge L&L. Too bad we don't have Lemon Chicken plate in SF. That differentiated L&L from the other places in Hawaii. Posted by: 808650foodie | August 25, 2005 at 07:39 AM Hey, Reid. Do you have any idea what happened to Myong's, the little Korean place that used to be in the shack across the parking lot from that L&L? I'm wondering if they're gone for good or if they relocated or what. Posted by: Ryan | August 25, 2005 at 08:27 AM brah.....I stay waiting fo one ono plae lunch place on da East Coast. I live in Virginia...about an hour out of D.C. BraH ....haole food foa miles! Posted by: kelly | August 25, 2005 at 12:03 PM Hi Clare, I happen to love broccoli too and yes, the fried rice was pretty sorry. Hawaiian? I'm not Hawaiian! LOL! Hi Jo, Outsiders? Whoever made you feel that way? Remember, we're all like family here right? Hi 808650foodie, Yes, if anything, we have to give credit to L & L for that. By the way, I heard they have over 100 stores across the country now. Big change from one small store in 1976. Hi Ryan, Hmmm. Let me check on it for you. The next time I eat here, I ask one of the cooks and see if he knows. Hi Kelly, Maybe you can open up a plate lunch place there...or maybe you can convince L & L's to open one. Posted by: Reid | August 26, 2005 at 11:43 PM ::laughing:: I only feel like an outsider when I have to clarify the meaning of some of the "lingo" ::wink:: Posted by: Jo | August 29, 2005 at 11:16 AM Hi Jo, OK. *wink* =) Posted by: Reid | August 30, 2005 at 12:50 AM Post a comment If you have a TypeKey or TypePad account, please Sign In You are currently signed in as (nobody) .

Hawaiian Barbecue; Sahara Square

Las Vegas Hawaiian Restaurant, Business, CD & DVD Review Free Newsletter Stay in touch with the hot Las Vegas island scene Email: You stay ovah hea: Home | Kama`aina Center | Aloha Valley Features | 5 Shaka Review Da "5" Shaka Review ~ You Name It, We Review It Restaurant, Business, CD & DVD Review L & L Hawaiian Barbecue; Sahara Square L & L Hawaiian Barbecue 2595 S. Maryland Pkwy Las Vegas, NV 89119 Sahara Square - Maryland & Sahara With the growing number of L & L Hawaiian Barbecue franchise restaurants in the Las Vegas Valley we decided to pay a visit to the Sahara Square branch. The restaurant consists of counter style ordering, seats a cozy (approximately) 50 people and has an island feeling with it's bamboo decor. Combination plate lunches are about $8, single plate lunches average $4 for mini size, $6 for regular size. Plate lunches include two scoops of rice and Hawaiian Style Mac Salad. Saimin bowls and sandwiches are between $2 - $3. Also includes an array of side orders ranging from $1 - $4. Entering the restaurant and walking up to the counter it's a little overwhelming (in a good way) with it's extensive Local plate lunch menu. The counter person showed patients while it took a few minutes to decide on our order. Our fist order was the Seafood Platter which included fried shrimp, mahi mahi, and scallops. The shrimp was good, mahi mahi was very tender. The scallops was so-so. Maybe because it's not part of our typical Hawaiian/Local diet. We then tried the island favorite Chicken Katsu, large serving and lightly breaded. The tender and juicy chicken tasted even better with their special blended and sweet tasting katsu sauce. We also ordered a regular size Hawaiian Teriyaki Beef plate. Again it was of a generous portion. The teriyaki marinade seemed a little strong for the thin cut of beef, but still desirable. The grilled boneless chicken in the Hawaiian BBQ Chicken plate was superb and plentiful. We still had room in our opu (stamach) so we went with one of their Sweet and Sour Spare Rib specials. Meat/bone cut was quit a bit larger than the norm, but certainly nothing to complain about. The sauce had a perfect blend of sweet-n-sour. Overall we enjoyed our visit to the Sahara Square L & L Hawaiian Barbecue franchise. We were impressed with their menu and quick friendly service. Our visit was unannounced and funded by Aloha Valley.
