"Best L&L in town — I dare someone to fight me on this. I’ve traveled far and wide through the L&L galaxy — from Milpitas to Mountain View, and I’m telling you, no one’s touching the beef short ribs and garlic shrimp at this W Campbell location. I’ve basically conducted an informal foodie survey at this point, and the verdict is in: W Campbell is king. Now, let’s talk vibe. If you roll through during lunch rush, just know you’re walking into a WWE Royal Rumble: uncles on Bluetooth, aunties with laser focus, and a sea of regulars who treat the line like a battlefield. It’s chaotic, it’s loud, and honestly? It’s kind of glorious. The service, however, is a mixed plate. Sometimes you’re blessed with the OG crew — warm, efficient, and respectful. Other times, you’re met with the Queen of Chisme , side-eyeing from the register while giggling with coworkers mid-order like you just walked into their private group chat. I swear I’ve been judged for everything from the way I ordered to the way I inhaled my short ribs and bussed my own table. I left full but wondering, “Was that passive-aggressive or just the sauce talking?” To be fair, the food is that good. Like “put up with the sass and still tip” good. So while the front-of-house might need a crash course in aloha spirit, the kitchen stays undefeated. Pro tip: Order ahead, keep your head down, and don’t take the cashier’s side-eye personally — it just means you’re one of us now. 4/5 Stoner proverb: “If the ribs fall off the bone and the staff throws you shade congrats, you found the real spot.” Price per person: $30–50 Food: 5 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3"
