Re: Favorite L&L
Must be the Kailua L&L is good? Never been there.
Been to too many other L&Ls, though, and they way overcook their chicken for katsu, serve 2 scoops of mushy rice and a scoop of tasteless mac salad. Just salty cardboard already. If we do eat at L&L it's at the ones that have the Chopstick Express, and that's not often. Used to like going to the Wahiawa L&L for their huge servings of decent food at least once a week. Their katsu/teri mix was pretty good. They changed cook or something and now you get huge servings of lousy food. I have never been to a really good one like some say they've been too and don't doubt, but at this point I think L&L is overrated and I've been to too many bad one's to bother trying them again. The only thing they got going is they still serve a lot of food. IMO, since we're critiqueing L&L.
If L&L were the last drive in on the island or I lived on the mainland and one opened up, I might think differently. But they're not and I ain't.
I'm too old to eat that much anyway so I take the time to find better quality eats.

Re: Favorite L&L
I've noticed that there are wild variations in taste between the different L&Ls around the island. One would think they'd be stricter in the quality standards across the board. But then again, the food isn't very good in the first place. Never did understand the popularity of the place...

Have you seen the "low carb combo"? A heap of meat capped with eggs. My gods.
When I was an L&L regular, though, I tended to go with their lemon chicken, loco moco, chicken katsu, or chicken katsu curry. I guess their katsu wasn't exactly great, but it was among the more consistent dishes across locations, I thought.

Re: Favorite L&L
Sorry Waiz, it's not that I hate mac salad or L&L (speaking for myself). It's just that I find the mac salads and food at L&Ls a bit lacking nowdays. You probably weren't around when they first opened. The food was darned good back then, at the L&Ls that I went to. If we were talking about Zippy's, there would be another group of nay sayers to Zippy's mac salad and food. Me for one. I'm a really picky old fart. No worry bruddah.

They didn't have to ask. They'd start cooking it up for me as soon as they saw me walk in the door.
Sad to read that the food's not so good there any more.
