About Us
When Johnson Kam and Eddie Flores Jr. introduced L&L to the U.S. mainland, they knew that most Californians were unfamiliar with the plate lunch. So they repackaged it as L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Plate lunch – also known as “the state food of Hawaii” – dates back to wage laborers in 19th century sugar plantations and pineapple fields, who brought rice and other leftovers to work in compartmentalized tins. Lunches were often shared, resulting in a harmonious mix of home recipes from Japan, China, the Philippines, Portugal, Korea, and even New England. Use your cursor to explore the ingredients above and watch your appetite build as you discover the delicious possibilities inherent in our uniquely delicious, contemporary Hawaiian Barbecue plate lunch.es from Japan, China, the Philippines.
In the early years, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue was a successful chain of drive-in restaurants with a reputation for serving fresh plate lunches throughout the Hawaiian islands. In late 1999, our founders – Johnson Kam and Eddie Flores, Jr. – introduced their signature, Asian and American fusion take on the classic plate lunch to the residents of California. Since then, the concept has found fans around the world and there are close to 200 L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurants in Hawaii, California, Washington, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Texas, New York, Tennessee, Guam and Japan. Needless to say, in addition to the fresh, culturally-commingling flavors of Hawaii, every L&L meal is infused with the warmth of aloha – the legendary spirit of welcome that makes every guest feel at home.
We are located along 4555 N Pershing Ave #33A, Stockton, CA 95207

The food is always hot, always tasty, and ALWAYS hits the spot. Can't go wrong with this one. The Beef Short Ribs are so tender, the Rice is cooked perfectly, and the Cold Macaroni Salad hits the spot on a hot day.

I had the loco moco, and it was fire! I been to the sac one, and the way Stockton restaurant assembled everything neatly made me appreciate the Stockton branch much more.

Love eating the musubi's from here! Food is always freshly made and tastes amazing! The sesame chicken is another yummy dish to try! I have never had a bad experience here and would recommend this place over Hawaiian BBQ any day! Friendly staff and fast service!

Great Hawaiian BBQ. Portion is pretty large, so if you have a small appetite then you can eat two meals out of a single order. If you want any sauce then make sure to ask before leaving with the order.
