Ipo BBQ is a local family-owned restaurant known for its affordable and nostalgic spam musubi. The restaurant is praised for its friendly service and quick food preparation, although some customers have noted occasional lapses in service, especially for dine-in customers. The BBQ chicken is considered average, but the restaurant is commended for its cleanliness and generous portion sizes. The meats are flavorful, tender, and cooked with a nice char without burning. Sides like macaroni salad and rice are delicious, and the fried Mochi is crispy outside and creamy inside, though some wish it was a little sweeter. Customers appreciate the big bang for their buck, describing the food as "amazing" and a satisfying value. The dining area is clean, bright, and comfortable, with plenty of parking and indoor seating. Recent reviews mention that the seafood combo is crispy and the spam musubis are perfectly proportioned, avoiding excess rice. While some found the food not as fresh as hoped, the overall quality and portion sizes continue to make Ipo BBQ a popular local favorite for a taste of classic Hawaiian flavors at reasonable prices.
