Is the old, original L & L Drive Inn on Liliha Street still pretty good? If so, I will go eat there soon when I come back to Honolulu.

Don had the Chicken Katsu. It was a great big amount and he enjoyed.
I had the Mahimahi plate and it was delicious too.
The establishment looks pretty funky though.
The big hassle with going to the Liliha St. L&L has always been the limited parking.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Haven't eaten there in something like 15 to 20 years. The place already looked a little run down even then, but I didn't notice anything that appeared unsanitary. Otherwise, it would have been off to somewhere else I go.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal.

I mean that's THE original L&L... kinda sad.This post may contain an opinion that may conflict with your opinion. Do not take it personal. Polite discussion of difference of opinion is welcome.

Originally posted by D'Alani View PostI may be wrong but I think the L & L location on Liliha St. used to be a bus depot way back when there were "trolley buses".
But, in the late 1950s, L&L Dairy opened a MILK depot on the site. They had 4 others around town. The Hirayama brothers bought L&L and turned the milk depot on Liliha into a soda fountain. L&L Dairy Liliha Fountain.
They also opened a L&L Drive In next to the Palama Theatre on N. King street in 1959 I believe, but it only lasted a year.
They sold it to a woman who evolved it into a restaurant. Eddie Flores, the 4th owner, bought it in 1976, for his mom, who was bored and needed something to do.
I don't know what was there before 1950, but those are some of the pieces of the puzzle.
