IO Waikiki Korean BBQ Restaurant

I’ve visited this restaurant multiple times, enjoying both the lunch specials and the premium menu options. Finding a seat here is quite easy, as the restaurant is conveniently located within a shopping mall, where parking is available and often validated for customers. The lunch specials are consistently excellent, offering great value at a price of $23.99. If you’re planning to dine in the evening, I recommend trying the premium option for $46.99, which includes A5 Wagyu beef options. The food quality is very good, with a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Considering the island's options, this restaurant offers something unique at a reasonable price point. However, the service can sometimes be slow, and the staff’s attitude leaves room for improvement. Regardless of whether customer

Overall it was good, but would not go back and would not recommend to others. We got the 59.95 premium meat all you can eat special. It comes with all the sides and soups. The premium meats were good. We enjoyed the brisket, beef toro, tako, and a few others. Sides like the steam eggs, mandoo, and mushrooms were good, but the japchae, and soft tofu soup were plain.

The side dishes were nothing special. Nothing memorable or tasty. Service was nice, friendly and helpful, but were chaotic and seemed unorganized. The waiters are not assigned to tables so, we seem some tables come after us, sat and ordered. We had to

I visited this restaurant recently, and unfortunately the experience was disappointing. The table was extremely small and uncomfortable. The food was quite average overly salt, with very basic dipping sauces and no real depth of flavor The service was also lacking. The server only took the order and delivered the food, then walked away without explaining how to eat the set or offering any guidance. We ordered the $99 Wagyu set, but no one explained the process, which left us confused. Eventually, a male staff member noticed and came over to help because we clearly didn’t know what to do. I’ve had similar Wagyu-style dining experiences before at much more affordable prices, with better quality food and far better service. Paying a total of $272 including tip for this experience felt un

Not as amazing as other similar restaurants we’ve been to. Our main server seemed to keep forgetting us, but Hannah kept swooping in to take up the slack. Anyone visiting should ask for her if possible. She ran circles around everyone else there. She was much better at describing the better choices also. We had started to feel totally forgotten, until she made it a much better experience
