Big
Island food spices up L.B.

Beach students do not have to travel to the big island for
great Hawaiian food; now they only have to trek to Long
Beach.
The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, 141 E. Willow St., in the Wrigley
Marketplace provides great food for a good price. The entrees
offered are seafood, chicken, pork, beef, saimin (noodle soup),
musubi, burgers and sandwiches. Plate lunches can be
either purchased in mini size for $3.99 or regular for $5.99.
Both sizes include two scoops of steamed rice, one scoop of
macaroni salad and drinks are separate.
The menu includes a huge selection of food not normally found
in typical Long Beach restaurants. For the average CSULB student,
this restaurant can satisfy a big and diverse appetite with
its wide selection. Everything from fried shrimp, garlic shrimp,
chicken katsu, beef curry, Hawaiian barbecue beef and salads
can be found at this restaurant.
After debating between lemon chicken and the mixed barbecue
plate, I decided to try the barbecue mix plate, which includes
Hawaiian barbecue beef, chicken, short ribs and of course
steamed rice and macaroni salad. Paying $6.29 plus tax, I
thought it was a great deal but when I picked up my order
I saw that it was an even better deal. The plate was stacked
high with generous portions. The three barbecue items were
freshly cooked, noticeable by the sizzling on my plate. The
beef, chicken and short ribs were very tender and had a great
barbecue taste.
Other than in Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon and California have been
part of the expansion of L&L. The Long Beach location
is the 10th restaurant in California and the first in Long
Beach. The Hawaiian food brings an excellent taste and diversity
to the ‘burger and fries’ infested Long Beach, with the Hawaiian
food costing almost as much as a burger combo. CSULB students
can savor this great barbecue without doing much damage to
their wallets.
