Iron Grill Hawaii — Restaurant in Honolulu

I went here for a year and it was good. My family and I all enjoyed it very much. I recommended IG but warned that the "cook" has attitude. After his wife (mystery lady in black mask) left him, everything went down hill. We went 5-6 times in a row and it was primarily just inedible gristle. He had a bad attitude each time we visited, he would ignore my husband's presence at the window, be short with each of us for no reason at all. We stopped going for months. Then many businesses closed and I don't eat raw meat so we weren't left with hardly any options for late dinners. When we went back, I texted him everytime NOT ALOT OF GRISTLE PLEASE and he would make decent plates when I texted this. Just 2 or so inedible bites... However. This last time, after waiting 35 min for my "food": literally every. single. piece was inedible. I could not tear them apart with my hands. I ate nothing but sauce and rice since it was 8pm and I hadn't ate all day. I returned to the "cook" and showed him this plate. He said "this is the quality I can get for the price. Baby learn how to cook your own food." Word for word. Lousy excuse for a cook. No apology, shame, or offer to remake the plate. I tossed the gristle plate into the food truck and walked away... If he knows his product is sub-par, he should make that known before taking my money (after he raised the price). We live Hawaii and its too expensive to waste on inedible plates. I have my own small business. I have kitchen and serving experience, and my husband is a cook. He works 12 hour shifts into the evening, so he is not home to prepare dinner. Criticize to yourself. I do not regret my action. Attached photo shows all the gristle I could not eat and the watery sauce. Every bite had gristle, I was not able to...

Imagine a place where you can go to get a high-quality teppanyaki dinner, walk right up to the chef and tell him exactly what you want and how you want it done, and then he makes it on the spot for you to take and enjoy wherever you like.

This is that place. Located across from Don Quijote, the Iron Grill food truck has been in business for over 10 years, and I can attest to the enduring quality that keeps them going. I had the pleasure of speaking to the owner and chef, Sang, who was both attentive and sincere in making sure my order was a 5 star experience.

I got the steak option with added shrimp, asparagus, broccoli, with garlic fried rice. The meal came with a nicely-sized side salad and the dressing was excellent. The portions are more than enough for 2 people and the presentation was great for something that got boxed up! The steak was ample, tender, and cooked expertly - the quality cut of ribeye used was very clear.

On a rainy night, I waited maybe 15 minutes for him to work his magic. His truck plays a nice blend of jazz music to set the mood while you wait, and he also has beer and wine pairings available to complete your meal.

Overall, I think the Iron Grill is a shining example of doing good business. The food speaks for itself, but the personal touch and effort that Sang puts into his work will keep you coming back. I...

I have ordered here a few times and the meals are simply delicious. The chef puts together amazing tasting meals and is very professional. The food truck is clean. The ingredients are fresh and very tasty. The composition of flavor is just excellent. Striking a great balance between protein and vegetables (without rice or noodles in my case).

The prices are very reasonable considering (this is Hawaii). My average bill was about $12 which I have no problem paying when the meals are fresh, tasty and full of flavor. The truck moves periodically to different spots so be sure to check where they will be located on the day. You can text phone orders as well. I've texted them a few times just to see what time they open and where they're located and I've always got a response which is great...
