L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue brings the authentic flavors of the islands to West Flamingo Road, offering Las Vegas diners a taste of Hawaii without the airfare. This local chain location serves up traditional Hawaiian plate lunches and barbecue favorites in a no-frills setting that’s all about the food. Located away from the tourist corridor, it attracts locals seeking hearty, satisfying meals at wallet-friendly prices.

The menu centers around classic Hawaiian barbecue dishes, with tender kalua pork, teriyaki chicken, and beef short ribs taking center stage. Each plate lunch comes with generous portions of steamed rice and macaroni salad – the quintessential Hawaiian comfort food combination. The katsu dishes are particularly popular, featuring crispy panko-crusted chicken or pork cutlets served with tangy katsu sauce. Mixed plates allow diners to sample multiple proteins, making it easy to explore the full range of flavors.

The atmosphere is decidedly casual and functional, with simple tables and chairs arranged for quick service rather than lingering conversations. Tropical touches and Hawaiian-themed decorations create a laid-back island vibe, while the open kitchen allows diners to watch their meals being prepared. The focus remains squarely on efficient service and generous portions rather than elaborate presentation.

This spot excels as a reliable choice for satisfying comfort food cravings and introducing newcomers to Hawaiian cuisine. Families appreciate the generous portions and affordable pricing, while solo diners can count on a quick, filling meal. It’s particularly ideal for lunch breaks or casual dinners when hearty, flavorful food takes precedence over fancy ambiance.
