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.
