L&l Hawaiian Barbecue - Santa Ana

I have been to this location twice and was disappointed both times. I got the beef plate. It was so bland. Not worth the money at all. My macaroni salad had a hair in it. I will not be returning to this location.

The chicken katsu was way undercooked and the portion of it was way too much, rice was wet but the macaroni salad was ok and the sauce that came with it was good too but it was a poor quality meal

If you're interested in expanding your horizons and want to try something new by bristol plaza do yourself a favor and DO NOT COME HERE. There was no customers inside and yet they still managed to take forever to give us our food. On top of that, the chicken katsu masubi wasn't even fully cooked! Also, the brown rice was inedible, kinda hard to tell in the picture but there was a white type of substance in there. Felt like I was eating mashed potatoes. In the photo I got the Lighter Garlic Shrimp and the plate was filled with greens. Honestly thought I was going to get a larger portion of shrimp for paying over $10 for the plate

When I can't decide what to eat I usually end up here. They're fast and friendly. The food is always good. I usually get a bbq chicken or beef bowl that is similar to but better than Flame Broiler. The bbq chicken plate is really satisfying as well.

They are always consistent with the quality of food and large quantity! My favorite is the chicken katsu and the macaroni salad. For affordable, delicious, and fast food in a great plaza, I don't have anything to complain about. Looks like it depends on maybe the entree that you order based on the poor reviews, but I guess I'm simple and the katsu macaroni has never failed me.
