A new Hawaiian restaurant opens in Henderson

There’s more plate lunch in Henderson.

L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, the Hawaiian restaurant chain, recently opened its 16th location in Vegas (and second in Henderson), this time at 81 W. Horizon Ridge Parkway.

The location incorporates a gas station, a first for the chain. Harun Rashid is the franchisee of the new restaurant.

Plate lunch, a combo featuring a protein, two scoops rice and one scoop macaroni salad, anchors the menu at L&L, which also runs to loco moco, Spam saimin and musubi, and barbecue chicken and beef bowls.

L&L opened almost 20 shops last year and plans to open 20 this year, the company said.

In Las Vegas, the latest L&L follows the launch last October of Zippy’s, the Hawaiian diner chain, in the southwest. That debut, the first Zippy’s outside Hawaii, had been anticipated for almost five years.
