Island Style 2 — Restaurant in Spring Valley

My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for quite some time now and I'll say that this place doesn't get old. I haven't had the opportunity to try everything on their menu because they have a significant amount of items listed. Not to mention, every time I have the intention of trying something new, it never happens - I seem to revert to the same item (Combo Plate). Since we've started coming here, we've tried the Hot Pot (Stone) Bibimbap, Combo Plate, Fried Saimin (Noodles), and Bulgogi.

Basically, every entrée we've ever ordered thus far have been magnificent and I definitely wouldn't change a thing. The banchan that comes with the food is always fresh and the restaurant provides an adequate amount too. Unfortunately, I won't boast too much about their mac salad - for some reason, it doesn't do it for me. I've had so many variations of mac salad since I was raised in Hawaii and from eating a bunch on the 9th island as well; this one is less than adequate.

Furthermore, I wish this restaurant would offer mini plates to choose from. Not all local/Hawaiian restaurants practice this, but I have seen and experienced my fair share of mini plate offerings in the past. Definitely not a show stopper, but I would appreciate it more so I could try many things at once without always having to order multiple full entrées, which ends up being way too much food.

The employees that have and are currently working here are always friendly and quick. If you're planning on visiting Korea Town, you definitely need to make it a point to stop here and grab some good food. The prices are reasonable and there are so many items to choose from - I highly recommend this restaurant...

Located in the Korean Town Plaza food court, Island Style 2 offers some tasty Hawaiian & Korean dishes..

IS2 Service & Ambiance: Definitely mom & pop and size and in how it's operated, the cashier and other workers were very friendly with getting our orders in. The kitchen got our food to us quickly which makes it a good spot for a quick lunch on work days. They're located in a food court so your dining area is the community tables for all food vendors.

IS2 Grindage: I ordered the massive combo plate: Chicken, Meat Juhn, Kalbi + Rice + Mac Salad + ban chan/side dishes. The whole combo plate was put together well and packed with lots of flavor. I had to take food home because of the generous serving of this plate. My friend had the Loco Moco and he said it was flavorful. It also was a very generous serving overall.

The delicious dishes and generous+ servings of the dishes will definitely get a return visit to sample some of the Korean dishes. We saw other patrons who ordered off the Korean menu and everything looked delicious. Island Style 2 is restaurant quality food in a small mom & pop resto in a food court and they're doing it...

Absolutely Disgusting! First, my husband kindly asked if we could get extra napkins. The lady (possibly the owner) told him to reach over the counter and get it himself. Second, we noticed that the macaroni salad smelled and tasted spoiled. I told the ladies behind the counter about it and that they may want to check their food. The same rude lady came to our table telling us that we're wrong, then began to pick up one of our chopsticks and started to eat the food off of my son's plate. She then ate food off of my husband's plate with the same chopsticks that she put in her mouth! We lost our appetite immediately after watching her eat off our plates. She explained that the food is watered down that's why it smells and tastes spoiled to us, but its "fresh" because it only sits for 2 days. Will never eat here again! Who knows what they do to the food before serving it! Maybe stick her fingers in them to see if they reached the appropriate heating...
