The food court in Grossmont Center is pretty quiet on weekdays.


I love Hawaiian food so I gave Maui Express a try.
I ordered the bbq mix plate and a chicken egg roll. Rice was moist and I liked the mild flavor. Beef short rib was tender and marinated to give it a nice flavor but not too much so as to make it too salty.
Bbq chicken tasted like chicken thigh which I really like and was tender and moist. I liked the flavor from grilling and the marinade.
Beef was sliced thin and was tender and well marinated. Light char gave it a nice smoky flavor.

Egg roll was crunchy and had a delicious mix of chicken and cabbage.

Lady in charge was nice and got my order out quick. I prefer Maui Express to L & L as the meat is more tender and there is a larger menu.

Everything looks delicious!
Maui Express is pretty good!
Just about every plate lunch place is better than L&L Soo!
I didn’t like the food the last few times I visited Homestyle Hawaiian.
