Island Fusion - Ellensburg (WA)

4 /5 Arina Cho: The food is excellent, and the employees are very friendly. The huli huli chicken is great, and the rice and mac and cheese are also really good. However, the last two times I ordered, the pickup time wasn’t accurate, and I had to wait longer than expected. It would be helpful if the orders were ready at the estimated time.

5 /5 Kandace Bui: The best jerk chicken I’ve had! Would come back again just for the chicken, worth the extra wait. This place is really good and the service was super friendly! 10/10

4 /5 Bubba Rangel: When you walk in, it’s clear this isn’t your typical sit-down restaurant you order at the counter, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. Pretty standard for a college-town spot. My order took about 40 minutes for huli chicken, short ribs, and beef teriyaki. The food was clearly fresh, though by the time I got home only two blocks away, the meat had cooled off a bit. Still, the chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice amount of char that gave it great depth. The beef and short ribs were also delicious and cooked perfectly. The mac salad had overcooked noodles, but that’s fairly common and didn’t ruin the meal. They could definitely work on streamlining their cooking process to cut down on wait times, but the flavors and portion sizes make up for it. Overall, it was good food and one of the rare times I can honestly say the wait was worth it. I’ll definitely be ordering again.

4 /5 Pasha Karriem: I wanted to update my review to increase the stars. After my initial review, the owner reached out immediately to resolve the issue. For that reason we will return when were back in the area. We came down for a weekend in the snow and decided to order from here for pickup. This was the worst oxtails Ive ever had from a restaurant. They were tough, and dry. We ordered rice and peas but received plain rice to accompany the tough and dry oxtails. The plantains were burnt. The jerk chicken was mid to say the least. It lacked flavor and traditional jerk spices. We ordered multiple plates and it was consistently disappointing for the entire group of us who ordered from here. Shame on you for serving this and wasting our time and money.

5 /5 Austin Burton: have wanted to try this place since it opened, just drove over from the westside and this is exactly what i needed after a long work day. Jerk chicken was legit, plantains and sauce as well. definitely coming back
