L&L Drive-In: Tokyo
Another blazing hot day. Another summer sale day.
Yes, I'm insane. Got some more shopping done with my friend and decided to eat lunch somewhere different. I recently heard from a friend that L&L Drive-In (L&L Hawaiian Barbecue) just opened in Tokyo and of all places, Shibuya. I had no idea they made that much income to actually open up a shop in the heart of Tokyo.
I was really surprised to see "mahi mahi" on the menu. It's very rare to find mahi mahi here in Japan actually, anywhere outside Hawaii. My friend ordered their "loco moco". Loco moco is a well-known dish (mostly in Japan for some reason) with sunny-side eggs and a hamburger patty on top steamed rice and finished off with gravy sauce.
Or was it gravy sauce and then the egg? I don't really know. I just recalled an old Spongebob episode when he couldn't remember the order of the Krabby patty. haha ANYWAYS. My friend said it was delicious despite whichever order it's supposed to be.
I ordered one of my favorites: Chicken Katsu (cutlet).
I grew up eating this and have always loved the crispiness of the deep-fried flour and bread crumbs. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmm! Seriously, it's simple but uber yummy for someone who has been counting calories all this week and have decided to splurge at the end. Of course, chicken katsu is originally from Japan. Not too sure what makes this dish Hawaiian. Macaroni? haha
The interior was rather large and simply designed or is still in the process of being decorated. I thought it was funny how she has a leaf mustache.
They even have a "Mahalo" ("thank you") rubbish bin! How cute.
There was also Hawaiian music playing which just topped it all off. The atmosphere really felt like home and I instantly became homesick. Goodness. I hope I have a chance to go back this August. *crosses fingers*
Price: Affordable ($5~15)
Location: Utagawacho 12-12. Shibuya, Tokyo. (near Gyuukaku)

L&L is a famous BBQ fast food chain that originated in Hawaii in the late 1970s. Majority of their menu consists of variously arranged chicken/beef/fish, scoops of steamed rice and macaroni salad.
