I’ve slept on this place for too long. Great food, great portions at a reasonable price. They were playing soft classical music when we stopped by before closing. Cashier was very friendly and attentive. The room is clean with good aesthetics.

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.

Hawaiian BBQ in Poway? I always wanted to try it, but was a little skeptical of location. This Groupon gave us the courage to try it and boy were we surprised by the wonderful seasoning of the food and generous portions. Ono kine grindz! Broke da mouf! 5 BIG SHAKAS for Ipo Hawaiian BBQ.

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!

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.

We took our daughter, son-in-law, and 4 grandkids out to dinner at IPO. The staff informed us that they were cooking the rice and there would be a wait. We waited and it was worth it. The restaurant provided us with some free food that was delicious. When the good came, it was wonderful. Glad we visited this place!

Tried it for the first time a couple days ago under the new owners. Before it was OK. Inconsistent at times. Let’s just say it wasn’t my first choice when I had a Hawaiian BBQ food fix. After trying it recently though, it’ll probably be one of the first places I’ll think about going to for my fix. Ordered the Garlic Shrimp, Surf & Turf (asked for Mahi instead of shrimp), Garlic Fried Chicken, a la cart Short Ribs, and a Spam Musubi. ALL of it was good! Big plus for me: two scoops of rice, with the mac salad. Some places only give one scoop rice, one scoop mac. It was all so good. Such a big improvement than before. Simple menu. Can’t wait to try the other offerings. Chef David took my order and prepared the food. Such a nice guy. He was welcoming and kind. Had a great experience.
