I'm realizing lately that I frequent alot of Hawaiian BBQ spots! This one is so close to home but yet I never really come here! Yet every time I do, I wonder why I don't stop in more. It's mostly because they are cash only honestly but recently they started taking online orders for pickup which is a good workaround. The employees at this location are always so friendly! I have never been to a take out spot where I feel so welcome no matter who is working the counter. I recently ordered the seafood combo and I must say I was a little disappointed with how the fish turned out. It was very soggy and didn't have much flavor compared to some of thoer competitors. However I've always really enjoyed the BBQ chicken at L&L. I'm definitely going to stop in more now that they are offering a way to pay that's not cash! Next time I'll stick to the chicken is all. read more

Place sucks, drink machine doesn't work, they were out of 5 plates on the menu. Ordered and BBQ burger with fries on menu with a picture of it. Then later the fries were extra and had to pay more. The only thing that made it BBQ was the sauce. DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

Best L&L I've ever been to! I usually order Chicken Katsu regular size ($9.82). This place has it bomb!!! All the other L&L's that I have tried around the Bay Area their chicken was either over cooked, undercooked and or soggy. This L&L makes it fresh to order. Juicy and crispy chicken katsu all the time! Can't complain. Since it's Covid times, take out only. Also, you can't enter the restaurant. You have to order by phone before you pick it up. He will give your fresh to made order through the door in exchange for your cash payment. Yes, unfortunately this location is CASH ONLY, but to me it's definitely worth it. There was a period of time where I didn't have a phone, so I couldn't call to order. He would always help me by just taking my order through the door even when it was a very busy day. Appreciate him for that! Hope ya'll love it here as much as I do :") read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - 10/01/2020 Chicken Katsu regular size ($9.82). Thick, juicy chicken with a perfect crust. BOMB!!! - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

This is a shady business. Don't buy here. 1. The overhead menu has outdated prices. For example, a bowl that's listed on the overhead menu for $7 is now $12. That's a 71% increase. 2. There's an automatic 4% "convenience fee" added to your bill. This is a scam. They've already hiked their prices 71% and now they'll nickel-and-dime you for another 4%. Why don't they just hike their prices 75% across the board and call it a day? Better yet, they should just give up on life and go out of business so somebody honest can take their place. SHADY AF. The food is average. Next time I'll just go to the Panda Express next door. Or get a prepared meal from Safeway across the parking lot. read more

All menu prices when up. 7.99 to 13.99 for a Mini Chicken Katsu. Came out to a little over 16 after tax when paying with card. Over priced and undercook food. I don't recommend. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Mini Plate Lunch Chicken Katsu - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

Great food! We had the BBQ mix and it was delicious. The customer service was also wonderful.

I usually get a small Chicken Katsu or Chicken Teriyaki. You get a scoop of rice and macaroni salad. It's always enough food for me and I don't eat the rice. Of the several Hawaiian places I visit across the greater Bay Area, the katsu here is the best version. The chicken is perfectly breaded and cooked and the sauce has the ideal amount of spice and sweetness. They only take cash. Be prepared. I will be back. read more

I work by the plaza that hosts this L and L. Hawaiian food is always my go-to because it is tasty and filling. Specifically at this location, I always order the loco moco and I always am satisfied. 100%. There is one gentleman who is always there running the orders and taking down the orders on the phone. He is a sweet, caring, thoughtful, hard worker and deserves all of the credit. I wanted to get catering and he helped me choose the menu. He was patient with me through the whole process. Even now, he's always asking questions about my work and how I'm doing. He makes the experience that much better. 5 stars because he deserves it. read more

Long overdue review! Back when I lived in Daly City, I used to come to this L&L all the time. Tucked away in a little plaza in Pacifica, it's a lesser known, family owned L&L. I've only ever had good dining experiences here. The food is always fresh, my go-to was always the garlic shrimp with brown rice and the portions are big! Staff are super friendly, there's a ton of parking, and it's a great pit stop before heading to half moon bay. Whether it's musubis or bbq plates, I'll def be back! read more

it is sad to say, as a customer for over 15 years. This place does not deserve ohana feelings like it first did when opening... I find it never open and, now over priced. Maybe with real Hawaiian they can make this work . But I am real frustrated with how it is now I'm read more

The yummy smell walking by brought us in today. Walking in we were greeted by the front counter and asked what we would like to have. After ordering, he mentioned a special and it sounded amazing! Pork belly, pickled onions and Hawaiian rolls. We ordered a pair and took a seat. The gentleman brought our food right out and we dug in. The special was amazing and had perfect flavor! I would definitely recommend it! Great service and tasty food! We will be back!!! Update: oh my goodness. I'm stuffed! I got the kahlua pork with cabbage and it was so incredibly delicious! Stephen thank you for great grub and a wonderful place to sit and enjoy! Obviously, L&L is my favorite stop in Linda Mar! read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Kalua Pork with cabbage. Try it, it's absolutely delicious! - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

I had the chicken katsu curry mini ($6.99). For the price, I didn't expect to get so much food. They give so much chicken katsu! Its definitely enough for lunch. It was cooked really well too, the outside had a slight crunch, perfect breading, and was tender and moist inside. It comes with rice and macaroni. Usually I don't like macaroni that much, but I did like theirs because it was a little lighter on the mayo. I've been to other L&L's, and this was my favorite one. read more

Grabbed these two musubi's before leaving Pacifica that day. The musubi was pretty solid; crispy chicken katsu and flavorful bbq chicken teriyaki, however, the ratio of rice to meat was really off (the meat was rly thin compared to the huge chunk of rice). However, for $3 each, it was pretty decent! read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - chicken katsu musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

See all

I decided I wanted spam musubi so we stopped by L&L Hawaiian. We got the spam musubi and the bbq chicken with rice and Mac salad. The musubi hit the spot. I split the chicken plate with my husband, much to his dismay, because I ate all the Mac salad. It was SOOOO GOOD. Don't get me wrong, the bbq chicken was definitely delicious as well, but as a lover of carbs, this Mac salad hit all the right notes. It reminded me of Mac salad my grandmother made when I was little. I wanted to go back just for that but we couldn't get back by in time. I remembered the guy told my husband that the grill closed at 5pm. For simple Hawaiian fare, I recommend this place. They should be busier than they are. read more

I love your food, wonderful, especially after a surf. But please oh please stay open when you're supposed to be open! Frustrated!

I don't know how they stay in business. They obviously don't care about their customers. They can't keep their own hours. Grill closes 1/2 hour before they close, no problem. However, I walked in at 5:18 (42 minutes before closing) after less than two minutes, I was asked if I was "Placing an order, or picking up". I said placing an order, he said "Grill is closed". If anyone thinks this is actually what Hawaiian food tastes like.... It's not! It doesn't! Real Hawaiians wouldn't feed this garbage to their dogs. read more

I love this place. Yes the food is not much different than other similar spots, but I would rather come here and spend my money any day of the week. I feel like I'm supporting family when I come here. They are such warm and friendly owners. Love it read more

I work around the shopping center where this L&L is located. All the staff here is amazing! They are super friendly and very courteous. I eat from here 1-2 days a week because their food is pretty tasty and very inexpensive. They have signs all over the place where it states that they are cash only, If you place an order over the phone, they will make sure to inform you that the business is cash only. There is a bank next door in case you need cash or forget to get cash. read more

Today I called L&L last minute for a 10 person feast, they did not disappoint!! From the moment I called Stephen was very helpful in what I needed, how much I should get etc. picked up food as scheduled, got it home & we feasted!!!! It was really good & we had plenty for all to take home for leftovers Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the meal. We'll be back read more

I love Hawaiian food and this place did not disappoint. We got the seafood combo, BBQ plate and the Kalua pork lunch combo. The kalua pork was so tender and juicy. The BBQ plate was delicious, especially the beef. And the seafood platter, everything was so crispy and tasty. We also really liked the macaroni salad! Yum. With covid, you have to call in your order which i also liked. It felt safe and clean as well. The staff was super friendly. I would definitely eat here again. read more

Been there 6 times, but only ate there once. They make their own hours and are usually closed way before their closing time. Sucks, because the food is really good. read more

I love this place. Great service and food is always consistent. People are super friendly and always provide good services.

I have nothing but good things to say about this L&L location!! Service: the staff is SUPER friendly and Steven truly cares about the customers! They always let me take my time to decide and have ideas on what I should get if I'm in a certain mood. Even the cooks wave hello while you are ordering. Food: amazing!!!! There's constantly new items on the menu that I've never seen at any other location and it comes out hot and quick. Everything is super fresh and looks yummy. I loved the beef ramen, crispy shrimp, and Mac salad. The spam musibi will always be one of my favorites!! My husband always gets the grilled items like the chicken or beef and always enjoys it (he is super picky). Location: it's situated in a cute town center that is very convenient to pick up dinner for the family and plenty of parking! The inside is super clean and welcoming! We do come here occasionally to either dine in or carry out but either option is great! read more

Excellent food. About what you would expect for portion size and quality. I've eaten as other L&L's in the past including those in Hawaii (Lihue). And other Hawaii style places. (SPAM is my friend!) But Watch IT on the Yelp Discounts! The bastards here don't manage their Yelp page well. So when You browse to their Yelp site and get the discount presented they will say "we don't accept that discount". When asked why the will claim to have not control of their own Yelp Page. Their defensive style of backing out of the Yelp offer did not come across very honestly either. (see my Android phone screen shot) Another thing,, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Pacifica only takes CASH. They will happily direct you to an ATM where I would assume they are getting a cut of the overpriced ATM fees. Grrrr! The rest of the experience was good and the place is certainly clean. Overall I would lover to give this place a higher score and I just might do so in the future. But for now I would recommend they get a better handle on their Yelp site offers, and also take payment cards, before I kick up their review score a notch. read more

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - BBQ Short Ribs Spam Musubi - Hawaiian Near Me - Pacifica, California

The PERFECT pre or post-beach stop! If you were to look up "love" in the dictionary, you would probably find a picture of me surrounded by a thousand spam musubis. Am I crazy? Probably. Are the musubis that good? Heck yeah! Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the dishes but my go to's are the chicken katsu plate and a side of spam musubi. What I love about the chicken katsu here is that the outside is crispy and the inside is juicy! Let me tell ya, it's not easy to perfect it! Also, the musubis aren't greasy compared to the other ones I've had and I just feel a little healthier eating it here. Shhh, don't tell my cardiologist! The dishes are affordable and all taste great. Win win! The service here is wonderful! The staff is friendly and very helpful in helping you with whatever you need. It's been rare to find amazing service and its guaranteed here! Mahalo, L&L! read more

We used to come here a lot. Now they give very small portions for the regular, on multiple occasions, also the chicken is not cooked very well. We were also shorted in change on our last visit. Service was nice that is why this review is not a 1 star. it is cash only FYI read more

Really friendly service at this location! Our cashier was incredibly friendly to us and to all the other customers who were coming in. Only taking off one star because I felt like the spam musubi wasn't the best. It tasted fine but I know it could have been better! Chicken katsu tasted good though. The restaurant was clean and organized, the food was ready pretty fast, and the employees were friendly. Overall, good location and I would come again. read more

My favorite is the kaluah pork! The mix bbq is my second favorite! The food is always great and the service is too! Oh yeah musubi when not quite as hungry but want a good snack. read more

The food is great and people are friendly! Something interesting I noticed, I guess it's a franchise but this location charges way more and the portions are a lot smaller. If you don't mind driving I'd recommend going to the San Bruno location; my food was about $6 cheaper and nearly double the portion. read more

Service is awesome and food is delicious, can't get much better than that. The Loco Moco or BBQ Mix Plate are my go-to selections but honestly, everything on the menu is good. Love stopping by whenever I get the chance! read more

This one star is for thier unsanitary bathroom. The bathroom is for customers only and is just nasty. I definitely hope there is another bathroom for employees to use as I really don't want to think the person who cooked my food had to "clean" their hands in that bathroom. Food at this L&L is good though as it does compare to other franchise restaurants I have visited here in the bay. read more

Please don't go here. Terrible food. Rice was over cooked. Cabbage was raw and cold. Normally the cabbage is cooked. Asked for teriyaki sauce. She pulled a 1 ounce container out of the fridge for me. And it was see through. Obviously watered down. Other places have sauce available on the counter. And not cold as to cool down my hot food. CASH ONLY - Really??!? Are we stuck in 1980? Sure the decor is but why does everything have to be. On a positive note service was good. But then again tables were sticky. I was the only one in the restaurant during lunch time. read more

Came this L&L yesterday and prices were double than the one in Daly City. Drive the extra 10 mins to the Daly City location and you'll pay half the price and will get a bigger portion. I paid $14 for a plate where I usually get the fries in in the Daly City location. Ridiculous read more

Look after my heart--Ive left it with you." -Edward Cullen "If I could dream at all, it would be about you." -Edward Cullen Those are probably the last two times I've thrown up in my mouth prior to eating at L&L. I know! I know you! You Ladies love some Twilight movies. It's soooooo romantic. Right? Well any self-respecting male like myself would gag when hearing cheesy lines like that. Hey Edward, I got game too. Don't be fooled just because I'm an iPhone & Apple geek, like to write, and am addicted with yelping and Facebook. I got better lines than that young skinny vampire. That being said, I came to L&L wanting to try this spot not far from my house. They had a sign in front for a soda and Kalua Pork sandwich for $5. I thought, I like swine, maybe even more than the next guy. I'll order that. The L&L guy brought it to my table. I cracked open the sandwich to see what I was getting into. It had runny Kaluha pork with a pineapple. It didn't look good, and didn't smell too hot neither. And if I've learned anything, it's that "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's probably a crappy Kalua Pork Sandwich. I hate to run a huge Cleveland Steamer on L&L. But next time Edward decides to hit the big screen, giving hickeys, whispering his sweet nothings to Bella, and competing Werewolves for Her love.

Cash only!!! All I had was the spam musubi and they were quite good. Not too much food options in the immediate area, but not a bad choice either. In a pinch, not a bad place to stop.
