Loved everything about the experience, the gentleman who took our order was so friendly and answered our questions, realized we had little ones and brought us water cups and plates without us asking. There is a great natural light, soft music so you can still socialize and the fooood, it was so gooooood, everything was good, that's not even an exaggeration. The flavor omggggg, please stop and eat here.

Ok last time I ordered a pick up I ordered what I always order I been a customer of this place for 14 years, so I got my usual I didn't check my food so I got home and they only put one tablespoon of macaroni salad, ONE spoon! No teriyaki sauce even when i requested one, since this new owners came in the prices are higher than what they were before , so for 20+dollars that my BBQ Beef was i feel that I should've gotten more than one spoon of salad, it was not a scoop like they normally put it was a tablespoon size little serving. Anyways the food its okay. The girl that helped me was nice tho, also place was cleaner that what it was with the past owners so ill give them that. Also I went the other day on it was 11 am and it was still closed..... they have posted days and hours that they don't really follow and this has happened few times already management needs to be on top of that..
There used to be a chubby Asian guy working at this place, and he was a professional, and most importantly, he made great Thai tea. For a long time, I used to come here every day and buy this tea. But after he left, the place turned into a mess. And the way they make Thai tea is terrible! I don't visit this place anymore.

Overpriced, The Teriyaki sauce is watery and not thick like Teriyaki sauce is supposed to be. They charge for every single Teriyaki sauce you ask for. When I had already spent $26 dollars

This is my second visit. The first time was a bit busier. I was the only customer during my visit this time. I ordered food for take-out. The staff who took my order was friendly. He recommended #1 Special BBQ combo. It included short ribs, beef, chicken, rice, and macaroni salad. The portion was big enough for three of us to share. I also ordered a Thai tea, spam Musubi and fried coconut cream mochi balls (these mochi balls were delicious). The price was reasonable for the amount of food that I got. The space was clean and has plenty of tables.

My first time back since I heard it’s under new ownership/management.
I ended up getting the Special BBQ Combo #1 and Seafood Combo #3. The BBQ plate came with chicken, pork and beef with a side of rice and Mac salad. The seafood combo came w fried fish and shrimp. I also got 3 spam musubis.
I have to say, the food blew me away. The portions are generous. The meats were flavorful and has a char without being burnt. The seafood combo was crispy. The spam musubis were proportional! Most places give too much rice to spam but here it’s perfect enough take away from the saltiness.
IPO has plenty of parking and lots of dining spaces to eat inside. I wanted to phone in my order but saw no phone number. When I asked, they said check IG.
They have drinks that I’ll have to try next time.

I came in on my day off from work and got about what I expected. The food was pretty decent, it just didn't taste as fresh as I would've hoped. I got the lunpia and gyoza as starters and they were both kinda bland. However, the BBQ plate was really good and it smelled good too. I was a little worried that the price was too high, but the portioning for the meat was a lot. Lastly I got the fried Mochi and it was super crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. I wish it was a little sweeter, but it was still really good. All in all, I would recommend people try the food out and see what they think!

This was my first (and last) visit to IPO Hawaiian BBQ. I told the cashier it was my first time and instead of offering recommendations, he just stood there until I ordered. I ordered the short ribs and was shocked to see the amount of fat on each piece. One of the short ribs was still raw inside! Save yourself $23 and go somewhere else!
Been going there for a while, super great food, i always get the bbq chicken, cannot recommend enough, crazy portions, insane quality, just wish I was closer lol

Today is Sunday, and according to their posted business hours, they open at 10:30 AM, which is why I stopped by after church. I arrived at 10:50 AM to find the doors unlocked, but all the lights and menu screens were off. A staff member told me they weren’t open yet. When I pointed out the posted hours, he replied, “The girl that opens isn’t here yet.” This was frustrating, especially since I drove over 20 minutes to get there. Management should do a better job ensuring the business opens on time and is properly staffed.
I decided to wait 10 more minutes to see if the employee showed up.
The employee did arrive, and I placed an order for the seafood combo and the BBQ short ribs combo.
The food was mostly excellent. The garlic shrimp was flavorful, and the BBQ short ribs were outstanding with perfectly balanced seasoning. The only disappointment was the mahi mahi, which tasted more like a basic battered fish with little to no flavor.
Overall, a rocky start due to poor opening management, but the quality of the food (especially the short ribs) helped redeem the experience.
