Was super disappointed last time we went. Food was greasy and didn’t taste good at all.

I was really disappointed with dinner. The rice was cold, the chicken dry cooked the day before, and the veggies were mostly onions with a few mushrooms and squash. Just one bland flavor-no freshness. I did enjoy the bottled beer.

Some of the WORST food we've ever had; and it's pricey. We spent $80 for 3 adults. If you are looking for actual HIBACHI this is NOT it.We ordered: 1. chicken lettuce wraps (used ground chicken; weird & tasted awful), 2. Chicken Lo Mein (tasteless, undercooked noodles) 3. Hibachi shrimp (frozen breaded shrimp and the rice was cold). 3. Crab dip w/wonton chips (we got a scant serving of chips so asked for more to finish the dip. Were told they frozen and needed to thaw.A waste of time & money checking out this place. Won't be back.

If you haven’t been to Island Wok, you’re missing out. I’m a big fan and drive down from Jacksonville for dinner. The salads are super fresh and the chicken bowl is incredible. Highly recommend!

I genuinely enjoyed this place a lot. It’s not fancy by all means but not a hole in the wall either. Didn’t really have a theme based in it. Their portions are very large, and certainly well worth the price. Service was spectacular and food came quickly and was full of flavor. Would highly recommend for a quick craving of fried rice of lo mein craving.

Normally we love the food we get from IslandWok. As locals, we love to support local businesses. Tonight my order, though ordered the exact same way we always order it, came with mushrooms when it usually doesn’t. Odd but no big deal, so my daughter went right back and they kindly said they would fix it. Yeah. No, they did not. They took the same plate back and picked the freaking mushrooms out of my food (hopefully not by hand) because it still has mushrooms on it and the tray was so soggy I couldn’t eat out of it when my daughter got back (barely a mile away) I’m sick so I didn’t bother sending it back for a redo. Picking some of the mushrooms off the top is NOT how you fix that. Good thing I’m not ALLERGIC! How is that even proper customer service?!

We bought two chicken hibachi plates and the rice was undercooked and hard. The white sauce was also weirdly sour. Had high hopes, but won't be returning!

We just had take out from here and it was AMAZING. High quality, fresh, generous portions. Will be dining in next time as they had a nice atmosphere and beer selection!

New restaurants are always exciting! This place has a lot of potential. The appetizers are great and the drinks are delicious. Main course 50/50 based on how much you really eat and know Asian food. The rice is a bit mush and meat sometimes a lil over cooked. The portions are huge which is awesome. It’s been getting better and it’s a new business so we will return.

I have only ordered take out but the food is delicious and flavorful every time. The chicken hibachi plate is such a great portion that I have plenty for leftovers. The chicken wontons are delightful too!

Nothing on the menu was in stock, chicken wontons were way too expensive and partially cooked, steak and chicken hibachi plates were so-so but the rice was crunchy. They had good portions but overall too expensive. Staff did the best they could with half of the menu being out of stock. The tvs were playing YouTube fail videos which wasn’t great atmosphere

Pros: Very friendly staff and attentiveClean facilityLarge portion sizesCons:Way too much soy sauce in the fried riceCoudn't get the veggie medley w/o mushroomsTimeliness - 30 mins to get our meal; we were the only customers in there. Chicken and shrimp were slightly overcookedIt is a coin toss on whether or not we will return.
