    Katsu Plate Mini
    Cindy O.

    Another great visit. Solid food and great service. I am always amazed how fast they turn around your order. Prices are very reasonable considering the quantity. Ordered two Katsu Plates, one mini and one large. One was with Curry and my husband thumbs up the curry, nice to know so I can order it againa

    I crave Musubi, Hawaiian BBq hits the spot. The bowls are generous and the meat is cooked to order, delicious sauce and fresh veggies.

    Spam saimin
    Joann V.

    3 stars My mom wanted saimin because she was missing Hawaii and it was a rather breezy day in LB today. So, she got the Spam Saimin ($7.95). It was decent...the broth wasn't too salty. The noodles were slightly overdone, but it was still edible. The spam was spamming. Service was friendly. Outdoor seating is available. I'll definitely be back to try other items.

    I'm not sure how long this location has been around, but truthfully I was in the area and planning to go to a different place a couple doors down from here. Suddenly I noticed several folks wearing scrubs stopping in for their lunch break and figured, why not try something new? I'd consider this place a hole in the wall that offers a variety of Hawaiian options! We went for a loco moco and a couple unique masbuis. The loco moco was an outstanding size! Definitely shareable if needed and the masbui was a great value for what you paid for, I can't wait to try more of the different masbuis! This is definitely a gem of a Hawaiian cuisine that is surrounded by several great places for takeout, so if you're in the area, add this place to your rotation of takeout restaurants when you're craving a masubi or some Hawaiian bbq!

    So I have gone here since it was L&L... so I suppose I have high standards. I didn't really enjoy this place the last few times but there isn't much choice for Hawaiian bbq in the immediate area.... So I tried again. First- the macaroni salad is HORRIBLE. I always think it's me but it's just terrible and chemical tasting. No flavor. Prob could enjoy grocery store macaroni better. The meat is okay. A little dry. Atleast the white rice is good. Tbh, stick to the musubi. More bang for your buck and you don't have to suffer this horrible macaroni. Only reason I gave 3 starts

    French Fries

    Came for lunch. My coworker walked across from work to go to Uncle Fung but to find out they are closed due to unsanitary conditions of the staff. Bummer... so we decided to go to LB Hawaiian. We both ordered mini meals. My coworker ordered teriyaki chicken with veggies, no rice or macaroni. Her portions came out tiny. I ordered the Katsu curry that came with 1 scoop rice and 1 scoop macaroni. I also ordered side of fries and 1 Hawaiian can drink. My meal came out to be $18-$19. I really enjoyed my meal. I get to dip my Katsu in the Katsu sauce and the curry sauce. I love sauce. And it was perfect combo for me. The fries were freshly fried but they were fat fries so I didn't really enjoyed they as much.

    It got the job done. I am no longer hungry, but I can't say I particularly enjoyed it. I wouldn't drive across town for this experience. It was mainly fuel. I got the Hawaiian Plate ($17.50), which included Kalua Pork and Lau Lau (butterfish & fatty pork cooked in 2 different types of leaves, like a fish/pork tamale without the masa), plus white rice and macaroni salad. I also ordered a Spam Musubi ($2.50). Total came out to around $23 w/ tip included. The best word I can use to describe the overall flavor of everything was "old." It just didn't taste freshly made. Like it had been sitting in a slow cooker or heating tray too long. It wasn't bright and refreshing. Just tasted like yesterday's news. There were unique menu items on there. I mean, how often do you see Lau Lau on the menu in southern California? But, the food flavor and quality wasn't the best.

    Perfect lunch spot!

    I consider this spot more of a grab and go, however, there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is very efficient and the kitchen cranks out orders fast. I am a huge fan of their spam musubi, easy on the sauce, and my husband loves their BBQ Chicken plate. Lots of parking, flavors are consistent order to order and the macoroni salad is a must. Enjoy!!

    What happen to the Musubi? The size has gotten smaller... I came here 'cause the portion was a decent size now it's half of what it used to be... very disappointed.

    Most of our customers ask for musubi with easy rice and it is approx. 2 oz of rice less than before. Please ask for extra rice next time when you visit our location. We will be more than happy to comply.… Read more

    I have been to Hawaii. A friend of mine won a give away by stuffing a ballot box at a grocery…read morestore, and then he gave me the plus one ticket. Was it a trip gotten via ill ways? Back then I did not think of that. And now that I do, I say the breeze of Hawaii would help anyone understand that what he did was a youth Indiscretion, like going for a swim in the cloak of darkness while only wearing a lei. Going to Back Home in Lahaina was not a trip back to the Big Island, I won't say that, but it was a moment of joy inspired heavily by a Hawaiian decor that both bordered on the tragically kitsch and the whimsically fun depending on where you stood or sat. But the true treasure of this Hawaiian micro-isle is their fare-- no doubt about that. After the meal my friend Conrad and I went to the front of the house, where they have the to go section. This is where the kitsch became most circus-y. Although, I did not clip everyhing, I did clip a make your own lei kit, hawaiian stickers, and other things that make the place feel like a tourist trap for Hawaiian hopefuls. For me, the tawdry lessened the impact of the Aloha I heard from the dining room. In sharp contrast, the main dining room had this mural of a whale coming out of deep blue water with Hawaiian florals on the edge of the land that was more transportive to the land where coconuts fall from palm trees and hula skirts are a must for every closet. The main room dining room also had these string lights and sphere paper lamps that made me feel like I was eating at a night market where I could see the stars of a Hawaiian skiy but it was both day time, and there was a roof above me. The food was the situation that needs to be address though, with great respect and admiration because almost every bite was supremely good. My friend Conrad and I first shared a Lahaina Platter- basically their appetizer platter or to be Hawaiian their pupu platter, and please do not go for the easy joke it is not that funny and really kind of base and gross, if the wrong person is making it. The must of the spot, unsurprisingly, is their Lahaina fried chicken. The chicken was crispy, flavorful, and kind of like karage chicken but different with the spices and flavors and ocean fronts of Hawaii. I know I did not make sense but I gotta believe that Hawaiian culture made the dish great and Hawaiian culture is partly define by waterfront property. My favorite things from the dish were the Lumpia which are often described as Filipino eggrolls. The pork meat was flavorful, the paper wrapping was on point, like wonderfully thin yet still structurally strong, not crispy, more firm with crisp. The Cinderella story of the day was the spam musubi. The saltiness of the seaweed was present but not in an overblown way, the sweetness of their teriyaki sauce carried savory notes that uplifted the sweet notes, in a wonderful way, their sticky rice was textbook fluffy and fabulous. Overall, I would nitpick flaws. And for this review I do not feel like finding the wrong cracks on a whole coconut skin. My main dish was their bbq grilled chicken plate. I could not finish everything at the restaurant. I had cold left overs at home and they hit the spot in this way that really earned my respect, because cold left overs still holding strong that is like seeing a shooting star while you enoy Mai Tais in a white beach---- living the improbable dream. What was best out of the bunch was their Lahaina chicken. And again, even though the fried goodness had withdrawn, the flavor and textured that remained was still, in a way, intact and in some ways optimal. I just shivered admitting that. I was happy with the food overall, and want to communicate that it was a strong showing for a place that sits within a strip mall. Do not just a shore by the lack of its crashing wave sounds. I also love the name of this place. Like I went back to Lahaina, has personality. Like it is a name that drips from the tongue even though it is long. Pluis, saying multiple times in a conversation makes the place feel important. Conrad had some cheesecake with jello and he loved it. I did not try it, but it was unique and I did not think such a dessert existed. The crust was walnut, I would have thought it would be Macadamia. I definetetly love this place and want to back again soon!

The friendly staff and the amazing interior was so welcoming alongside the well priced drinks with all different games on each TV made this place feel amazing. Once I started off with the spam musubi, I was surprised by how it was bland and un flavorful it was. Even though it had sauce on top it tasted like I just had rice with meat as it was lacking the seasoning. Our entrees arrived, which looked phenomenal, but was then again hit with blandness even though it was smothered in sauce. The burger was bland and the Mac salad tasted like mush. Maybe some changes to the sauce and adding more seasoning may help these amazing looking dishes as I wanted to enjoy them but sadly couldn't.

We came by for the brunch on the weekend, and the food was fresh, made to order and super tasty. Obviously the tiki drinks are always on point, typically strong and made with aloha! This is by far our go-to tiki place in Long Beach, it's extremely clean and it always makes for a very special time. The Bamboo Club is an outstanding tiki bar, and I really wish they had their own tiki mug to sell because they have center piece waiting on our shelf!
