L&L Hawaiian Barbecue - Hawaiian restaurant in National City - 1860 Sweetwater Rd B, USA

First timers here at L&L Hawaiian Barbecue! You absolutely cannot beat the price for the amount of food that you get. Aside from that, I'm sure you're wanting to know how it tasted? It was simply incredible. We orded the Seafood Combo Plate along with the BBQ Beef plate. Every meat and piece of fish was beyond tender. You did not need a fork or knife to cut the meat. It fell apart with ease. It was filled with endless flavor. Although this is probably preference, I wasn't a fan of the rice. It didn't provide much flavor - but that's not really too important for what you get. The macaroni salad side that's included was simply perfect. Not tangy, not too sweet. My only complaint was that it was cold - the door was wide open for the dining area. The food and portion sizes are simply incredible for the price.

It’s not the greatest looking L&L aesthetically, but the food is the same quality as the other locations I’ve been to. The macaroni, rice, and chicken plate is hard to beat when you’re starving. It’s consistent, filling, and flavorful. Not my first choice, but definitely not my last. A reasonably priced decent meal. The staff is chill as well. I don’t know why people say they’re rude, they’re really just very busy and trying to keep things organized.

Still the same old spot for the past 20+ years. Very tasty place I do wish they would have the spare ribs but other than that still good!

Quality of this location has gone down! Walked in and it looked like a storage room with boxes and chairs stacked. Mostly all signage is hand written. The food quality was terrible. Rice was old and hard, very clumpy. The pork chop that is now served rather than the spareribs was dry, beef was high in fat, and the chicken lacked lots of flavor. Disappointing because this used to be our go to spot.

For the life of this place. They can not get an order right. I would recommend going to Eastlake location. The food is good and well prepared.

First time at this location, it was okay. They were out of spare ribs but they're chicken bbq was good

Seems to have changed from what I remember back when they first opened. This location no longer sales short ribs and the seafood combo was in my opinion was just ok $3 for Hawaiian sun !!? $3 for a fountain drink!!?

Good fast big plate nice smiles from the employees food was great me and girlfriend loved it will go again the furture do recommend for military as well
