★★★★☆ 4.0 Mai Yeev Xiong · Jan 2026

They were generous with their portion! Flavor was okay and I've had better Hawaiian food.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dan Ramirez · Dec 2025

Not that great compared to a lot of the other l&L's I've been in, as far as atmosphere decorations Hawaiian music and the overall taste of the food, not to mention there were gnats flying around I had to keep shooing them away...

★★★★★ 5.0 Karen Padilla · Feb 2026

This place is honestly incredible. I never leave reviews but the food quality and portions make me feel compelled to. Absolutely a must stop

★★★★★ 5.0 Brennan Ronald · Aug 2024

Easily has become one of our favorite takeout spots in town on the weekends. Definitely was a much needed addition to this town for high quality fast casual Hawaiian BBQ food. We've been loving the chicken katsu, loco moco, short beef ribs, spam masubi, and mac salad here. Everything has been amazing across our several visits! The prices have been extremely reasonable for the giant portions of food we've received across all of our visits here. Parking is easy and it's in a nice lot in SLO. The staff is always working their tails off in the kitchen every time we come in and the place is clean/inviting although we usually take the items to go. Glad to see this place in town and doing well from the looks of it!
