L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Santee CA

Small Hawaiian BBQ place, get the Tom Katsu style chicken.it's pretty good. I haven't tried the spam recipes yet.

Service and food were good. Place was really clean and bathrooms too. Nice outdoor seating.

I ordered the garlic chicken bowl and it was not quite what I was expecting; it was WAY BETTER! The sauces you can get on the side were fantastic as well! The employees were super cool too! Highly recommended!

As much as I liked the service I have to say that the food it self was terrible, the chicken was not fresh cooked, the stake and rib was flavorless, dry and burned from the pan, the teriyaki sauce was like jelly. The cook needs training

It is nice to find authentic Hawaiian food and reasonable prices! L&l is a franchise so the food tastes like you're in Hawaii from Hawaiian recipes!

I deliver for you on multiple apps, I appreciate the food always being done and for a professional staff. Also
The Hawaiian rolls are pretty great

WOW! First time trying this place and the food immediately brought me back to my time in Hawaii! Will defiantly make time to come back anytime we are in the area. I love some spam musabi

Haven't been there, since before covid. Food and service were great. Servings were bug, took home haft the food. Glad to be back.

We stopped by here late and got some Kailua pork and cabbage, BBQ chicken and loco Moco. Delicious! Will be back!

Great food, good portions and fair prices! Always clean and the servers are nice and polite! Two thumbs up!

Something was wrong with the food at this location. Had food poisoning both my husband and I. Didn't taste fresh. We were messed up for 2 days. Don't eat here!

Food was great as usual, got a tray of BBQ for a small gathering, the chicken was great. Got it very fast just like ordering a normal plate to dine in. Must've my lucky day to order it the right time.

Just ordered via door dash and im completely disgusted. The insides of my Malasadas are completely raw!

Mixed bbq plate is so dry its like easting jerky. Rice? Mushy as hell. Fed it to the dogs. Being from Hawaii, I know what quality hawaiian bbq is and this aint it!

Garlic Shrimp:

Shrimp seemed boiled and garlic was not cooked

Overall it was watery and bland, 0 seasonings

Mac Salad:

No seasoning, PLEASE add garlic powder.

BBQ Beef was ok because it's marinated, but it was tough.

Someone needs to teach them how to cook!

So my fiance ordered the Kalua pork and I got my usual katsu chicken we both hadn't eaten all day. We both were starving to say the least well upon my fiance first bite I hear her yelp and watched her spit out a hard sharp piece of plastic. I was very very upset after seeing this and it did stick in the roof of her mouth. After taking it back the girl tawnia that works there shook her head at me after I told her what happened and told the other employee in spanish it did come from them little did she know I understood. She was very rude I had to demand my money back and now my wife's mouth is injured. She was supposed to call corporate witch she did not do because we did and they had not heard from her. Wouldn't recommend eating here unless you want to get jabbed in the mouth with plastic

The food is really good, but they really need to improve the costumer service with some of their employees!

Do yourself a favor guys and go to a different Hawaiian BBQ. I've never threw away my chicken katsu plate before, but low and behold today was the day. Just dont.

Got the spark from the big man! Excellent service and good portion of food for the price. Order anything and enjoy!

Use to love L&L however my order is always wrong! Steak doesn’t taste too fresh or hasn’t been cooked long enough.

Ordered “dine in” and sat down. My wife and I were happily 1/3 through our meal when an employee came up and told us we couldn’t eat inside and had to go outside to eat. We ordered for dine in and our receipt says dine in and tables were not blocked off or labeled for “no seating or closed”. No one had the courtesy of telling us that the tables were closed until we were part way through our meal!? I mean it’s not like they couldn’t see us from the counter. Since most restaurants are partially open for dining in without labels or signs on the table how us a customer to know? Better employee training is needed here!
