Problem: Yuck. I didn't like anything about it. Service was incredibly slow. We went for lunch, and it took at least 20 minutes for our food to come. I ordered Beef Panang. It was really overcooked. The beef tasted like mushy baby food. Plus, I ordered #6 on spicy level and it was not at all spicy. My husband ordered pork eggrolls. I couldn't figure out how half was hot and half ice cold. His fried rice had pork that was good, beef tasted old and weird. He picked out the beef. His food also came a very long time before mine did and I was starving. And 2 lunches were $40 with the tip. Panang $13, fried rice $13, iced tea, and eggrolls $?. Final opinion, I wouldn't eat here again if it was free. Disgusting. I wish they had a negative star for the worst place you have ever been.

Problem: I used to have L & L Hawaiian BBQ about once a week in California, it was hard to drive past L&L on the way home each day without your craving getting the better of you. But the food I used to get at the one in Fremont were great. Their Hawaiian BBQ Chicken was always double if not a triple. When I went to get some frozen yogurt at Cherry On Top and saw L&L just a short stroll across the parking lot, my mind was set. After checking out the familiar menu, I went with the BBQ Combo. The food was prepared quickly and I was out the door in minutes. The smell was good, and it took some self restraint to not dig in while I drove home. Unfortunately, the BBQ chicken that has always been a favorite of mine, was no where close to what I was used to getting. Flavor was dulled, like a number 2 pencil after a hundred questions scantron test. The BBQ Beef was okay. The Short Rib likewise was okay, never as good as the ones you grill yourself at a Korean BBQ. The Mac Salad was the same as what But I hate to think that I have to cross the state line just to get some decent Hawaiian BBQ Chicken from L & L. Anyway, this location is fairly small. Not a lot of room to sit and eat, but many take their orders to go. Location is fairly convenient for those in the SW (near Costco), and parking wasn't an issue. I just wish the food tasted better. I would love to rate this L & L Hawaiian BBQ with at least a 3 stars (A-OK), but it just fell short of that mark. Hopefully it was just an off day for them, but with other better Hawaiian BBQ restaurants in close proximity, I doubt I will give them another shoot.

Problem: My mom has a philosophy on kitchen tools and gadgets that reads something like "buy everything, take care of nothing." Since forcing her to relinquish her rights to well, anything in the kitchen, I discovered she has been stockpiling knives since I was born it appears. Instead of sharpening them or taking them to a professional, she just buys new ones. This begins the story of how the Sharp Shop became a part of my quest to save the kitchen. Tucked into an unassuming strip mall that appears to be mostly vacant The Sharp Shop has been around for years providing services to the home chef and professionals. Besides providing knife sharpening services they sharpen other things like hair scissors and other things that need....sharpening. I think it was the owner who helped me and he was very nice and only charged me $5/blade which I thought was a sweet deal particularly after attempting to sharpen those same knives myself with a sharpening stone. Have you ever tried it? Don't bother unless you have a lot of free time on your hands and enjoy working hard at something with minimal and/or disappointing results. I don't have the time or energy to figure out how to sharpen them myself and that's what places like the Sharp Shop are for. To make my life just a little less complicated. I got my knives back in a few days and they were like brand new. Tomato: sliced! Carrot: chopped! Onion: minced! And the tears were from the onion and not from a dull knife. The only drawback is that this place keeps government hours: Monday-Friday 9am-5:30pm. Not open weekends. Not convenient. But if I was in business for myself and could set those hours without losing business I'd do it too. So kudos to you Sharp Shop man! All in all a great experience and I'll be taking care of most if not all of my cutlery needs here.

Problem: Can I give this place no stars for no service!! Pull into drive through and it's extremely slow as usual. The guy comes on the speaker and says "I'll be right with you". Nearly 5 minutes later a truck pulls into the other lane and is immediately helped. REALLY!! Do they think I'm sitting here for my health? I leave and go to McDonalds, never a problem there Every time I go here it's something stupid like this. This isn't the first time I've left without service it is however the last time I will try. This place needs a manager with a brain.
