L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Kapolei (Kapolei Pkwy)
About
A Kapolei Staple for Local Comfort Food
When you find yourself roaming the bustling retail corridors of Kapolei, the scent of teriyaki glaze hitting a hot flat-top grill serves as a siren song for those seeking an authentic Hawaiian plate lunch. L&L Hawaiian Barbecue has become synonymous with the casual, no-frills dining culture that defines the West Oʻahu lifestyle.
The Classic Plate Lunch Experience
The magic here lies in the consistency of the comfort food. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite between errands or fueling up for a day at the nearby lagoons, the menu remains a masterclass in local flavor. The signature chicken katsu, breaded to a golden, satisfying crunch and served with that unmistakable tangy dipping sauce, is a perennial favorite. Paired with the mandatory double scoop of white rice and a generous portion of creamy macaroni salad, it captures the essence of a traditional Hawaiian lunch wagon.
Practical Island Dining
This location thrives on efficiency. It’s the kind of spot where service is straightforward and the focus remains entirely on the tray in front of you. Be prepared for a bit of a scramble during the peak lunch rush when the local workforce descends, but the turnover is quick. While the seating area is purely functional and designed for speed rather than lingering, it remains a go-to for families and surfers alike who prioritize hearty portions and familiar tastes. If you are craving a balanced mix of protein and carbs after a morning in the Kapolei sun, this is your reliable local pit stop.

Food is always consistent and good! The portions are amazing! None of the other locations in Kapolei come close to the quality here! So thankful that to the folks at this location! Mahalo Nui!

Visited this L&L, had mop bucket out, extra supplies stacked in the restaurant (see picture) hardly any meat on the sandwich, compared to other recent visits to L&L on the island. The restaurant attendant wasn’t overly friendly and wouldn’t provide an extra water cup when requested—I get the extra cost but for a water cup?? Sandwich and bun were tasty but certainly didn’t live up to our normal experience at L&L.

My husband and I really enjoyed the food here and it is very reasonably priced! I had the aloha saimin while my husband had the bbq plate which was huge!!!! It was all so good and the people working were very helpful for it being our first time in Hawaii!

Like many other L&Ls the restaurant does look a little out of shape and run down but don’t let that fool you from coming. You will get fast service and very reasonably priced yummy food that’s packed full of flavor and handled by nice staff. It’s great to visit family in Hawaii once a year and go back to your favorites. And this place totally delivers in quality and flavor.

Food was good. But as the last reviewer stated, lady at counter was definitely not friendly. Dropped my food at the front counter and turned her back to me, as if I was inconveniencing her. And on top of that no dine in. I wouldn’t go back to this location.

Food here is absolutely amazing! I went twice in a row because it was soooo good. I got the bbq mix plate and all three meats were so flavorful and moist. Would highly recommend going here.

Quick and friendly service. I had the seafood combo platter and loco moco. Both were excellent. Lots of food and very fair price. Mahalo!

Made a phone order, went down immediately after we called it in. Then added to the order after I got there, the girl was just able to ring up the order all together. Service is good, food was good, saimin was not so good. I understand we took it to go, so maybe that's why the noodles were too soft, but the soup was like water... There wasn't much taste, which was kind of disappointing... Everything else was good. Forgot to take pictures of the food...

Great fast food style chain for some local Hawaiian cuisine. Lots of options to choose from, even for the picky percies in your group. Seafood, chicken, ramen (even a ramen burger!), saimin, and much, much more. This location is clean, staff are friendly, and the food quality is consistent. I was lucky enough to sample the ahi salad at another location recently, so that’s what I opted for on this late night visit. The ahi has a REALLY good flavor, and this is my “go-to” choice from now on. All entrees are served in to-go containers. If you have multiple items, they come out randomly, not all at once.
