Sometimes the best finds happen when you're focused on family and stumble into excellence. The food is the real deal. Bold, authentic, and done with discipline. Every bite reflects craftsmanship and pride. No shortcuts. No hype. Just results. The open, spacious layout creates an atmosphere that's relaxed, energetic, and inviting--perfect for unwinding, connecting, and enjoying great food without feeling boxed in. It has that Brooklyn-meets-business-meets-community vibe that works. And the pastrami? Memorable. Elite. The kind of flavor that sticks with you and makes you plan your next visit before you've even left.

From start to finish she made it happen for us, even though we had no reservation and were acting kind of dumb. She also had genius level spacial reasoning that made seating everyone during the rush seamless. Really fun, really patient, great energy, we would have tipped like 200 percent if not for the fact that barbecue is barely in our tax bracket with the current cost of living crisis. But anyone who has encountered her here definitely knows what I'm talking about. Also would recommend the collard greens and ribs out of everything we tried. Potato salad was a sleeper hit.

It's a little bit of Country when you walk in and the bluegrass music playing definitely puts you in the mood. The guy serving looked a little rough but he was very kind. Don't judge a book by its cover. Ordered the Sliced Brisket Sandwich. Two things I wished were different: 1) I wished it was a potato roll & 2) I wished the onions that came with it were pickled. Those are my only two complaints because everything else was FIRE!! The Cole Slaw was nice & crunchy and not too mayonaisey at all. The pickles weren't so sour...I like that. The BBQ sauce, GREAT viscosity and even greater flavor! And the brisket...CHILD!!!...AH-MAZ-INGGGGG!!! Some might argue that there was too much fat cap left on but fat is flavor! It was perfect! Perfectly seasoned and still held up when I picked it up. PERFECTLY smoked. Not over done or underdone. I just loved it! Looking forward to coming back & trying errrrthang!

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue in Brooklyn is just as consistent and delicious as the Manhattan location…read more Portions are a good size, and everything tastes super authentic. The only thing to note is that when you upgrade to the two-meat option, especially if you choose Kalbi, there's an extra charge and you only get one piece. Still, the flavors are on point, the quality is solid, and it hits every time. I'll definitely keep coming back. It's the closest to real Hawaiian plate lunch you'll find out here.

Overall 5/5: Rating hasn't changed. Would definitely recommend this place. I'm surprised it isn't…read moresuper busy even during early dinner service on a Friday but I like the quiet even more. Service 5/5: Friendly service. Because it wasn't too busy, the waitstaff were always attentive. Ambiance 5/5: Quiet, calm/warm lighting, music wasn't too loud. Felt like a private dining experience which I liked. Food 5/5: A lot of AYCE options. Almost everything is self serve but you have to ask for the meats. Can't comment on specific house made drinks since we didn't try any and their included soft drinks were more than enough. I wanted to come back for the stone crab which they sadly didn't have this time. They had blue crab and clams this time, so I'm assuming there might be some seasonal items. They also have new desserts on the house which were nice (See brown sugar rice cakes picture. These were too sweet for me but they were free so I can't complain).

Great spacious interior with high ceilings and beautiful light fixtures. The tables are big with…read moreplenty of seating, and the back has a great selection of self-serve hot pot sticks as well as all you can eat crawfish. This place also has regular BBQ meat sticks in addition to the hot pot meat sticks. The chicken, lamb, beef, and all the standard organ sticks are cooked very well. Everything is moist and not overly seasoned. Sometimes at these places the seasoning can be overly sweet or overly salty, but that was not the case here. The tins of mushrooms, especially the one with the beef, were also great. Besides fatty beef and enoki mushrooms, there were wood ear mushrooms, peppers, and a bunch of other things like a few rice cakes. Definitely get this if you love buttery, brothy beef with mushrooms and vegetables. The garlic eggplants are also super good if you love a roasted garlic overload. You can also order off the sheet by checking off the items and listing the quantity, which is very convenient. The only thing I did not think was worth it was the watermelon juice. One pitcher was twenty two dollars and it barely served six to seven small tea cups worth. Will definitely come back for the AYCE menu next time.

Really gives the eater the power to season to taste--great for people who prefer extra spice like me. Several dishes, Mixed Mushrooms and Baked Mussels for example, come with heavy dollops of garlic, which is how garlic should always be in personal opinion. Love the Tofu Skin. It feels like a great potato chip alternative. So light and crispy. Also really enjoy the BBQ Eggplant. I didn't speak Chinese with the workers, but simply pointing at the menu and stating the quantity of skewers I wanted worked perfectly. I will note, I am surprised by the lack of pork options. There is only one or two if I remember correctly. Wanted to try BBQ Crispy Pork (assuming it is pork belly) but when I visited near 7pm on a Friday night, it was sold out.
