I remember going here when she first started at this location on Halawa Valley Road on the RIGHT side by the Animal Quarantine. Service is good. Food is good. I noticed authentic Pastele stew has a little more oil in it like this one. For me, looking at it the meat it had big pieces and soft too. A slight taste to it and it was good. Ambiance is like any food truck, wait in the sun and get your Vitamin D(sun) at the same time. It's really good to see that she is still doing it as others sadly disappear. Like 8 years??!! For me, I work out from the Diagnostic Laboratory Services Halawa Valley location. It's close to where I work. It's just down the street and around the bend to this lunch wagon. I will be back again.

Legit, home style, local plate lunches. Choke food. Fair price…read more Breaking it down: -- Fried noodles - actually fried saimin, not Chinese egg noodles. Minimal and well seasoned. Solid. --Anything "hamburger" - old school perfect. Thick, hand formed patties, just the right amount of fillers to keep it soft and moist. Solid in a plate or as a loco moco. Even butter in a soft, cheap, generic bun with a little ketchup as its only condiment. Get it with a slice of Kraft American cheese if you're feeling fancy. Basic and that's what makes it good. -- Roast pork (special) - Chunks of well braised pork butt with untrimmed fat swimming in a scratch made onion / mushroom gravy. Yup! Short and simple menu. Most items $14. Burgers $6. Cash / Venmo only. Located at the entrance to the Halawa animal quarantine. Super friendly owners. Amanda and Felix, you got this one right.

After ordering - 15 seconds later my name was called. Yes, I thought wow that was super quick! I grabbed the 2 containers and headed back to the office. This was going to be our snack on the way home. When I got back to the office this is what I found. The burgers were $15.00 each and both were extremely papaʻa. We took a bite from the first burger (it tasted how it looked) then opened the second box and it looked worse. How shameful to serve this kind of food that should have been thrown out and not sold. You need to do better, aūe! One star was generous because zero stars was not an option.

As soon as you get up from the table, someone is ready to take over your table.

We grabbed a burger from a neighboring tuck and decided to walk over to grab some treats for the kiddos. I picked up the smelt ($6) and my friend got the ahi cubes ($14) and a bag of smelt too. The packaging is really cute and its like they get to enjoy the experience too. Eventually they plan on expanding their menu but for now they have ahi and smelt. They also serve up poke bowls and acai bowls for the humans. LOL. We found a nice shady spot in the park and made a little picnic with the kids. Parking is along the park and should be available for the most part - most people come and go.

No joke about the bacon dog! ON POINT!!! this is the not the only place to get hot dogs on campus…read morebut it is the best! Hot Dogs Hawaii street vendor is available from 9am-2pm, M-F. They serve a few signature hot dogs all the time, like the jumbo dog, the pizza dog, (mozzarella cheese and pepperoni) and the chili cheese dog but they host a "daily special" that is usually pretty ono! the first time i ventured to this New york style hot dog cart, I asked what the daily special was. That was my first introduction to the bacon dog with grilled onions. Crispy fresh bacon and grilled onion that the vendor cooks right on the spot. When the hot dog os ready there are condiments available. Pair your dog with a canned soda or water bottle for just one dollar, that puts this giant and delicious hot dog with a beverage just under 5 bucks. stop in today and give this business some yelp love!

The portions will astound you, but not flavor is sacrificed! My corned beef hash was yummy! The mac was milder for my preference, but still good. Rice was cooked perfectly. My boyfriend's shoyu chicken was so good. I loveee their Andagi but so does everyone else! They sell out quick so be sure to go early. Best Andagi on island! The staff radiate aloha. They probably work very busy days, yet keep a smile on their faces! Very efficient too. We got our food before my boyfriend finished paying! Free parking, but no where to dine. We ate in our car! Would recommend everyone try out Ige's! Be sure to check their social media for special hours and specialities!

Two weeks ago, I saw a group on FB called 808 Best Lunch Wagons, Restaurants & Entertainments that…read moresomeone had posted the menu for Ige's and saw that Wednesday they would have baked spaghetti, my favorite going to school. Wednesday, had the internet fixed in the morning, picked up my cousin at 10:30 and she gave me directions to Ige's because all this time, I didn't know they were still in business. Oops. Ige's is located in the Waimalu area behind Goodwill on Kam Hwy. There's several small businesses back there and all these driveways, you can miss this place easily. On the main driveway, there's a bike path that crosses it, and an old guard shack. After this, you want to take the second driveway on the left. You know you're going down the right path when you see Guieb restaurant on the left, which I also didn't know was here. And drive all the way to the end. Ige's is the very last store on the left. You'll see the lunch line. They are only open for lunch from Tuesdays to Fridays from 9:30 am - 1 pm, so you should plan ahead. The regular menu differs each day and for now, the daily specials have remained unchanged. But to make sure, check out their IG @igesaiea. When you get there, they do have some grab and goes that are not advertised. As far as pricing, they are pretty reasonable, regular plates are between $13 - $16. However, the portions, let's say it's really heavy. My cousin got a mixed plate of chicken hekka and pork teriyaki. And I got the baked spaghetti, no rice, with toss and Mac salad. And the spaghetti filled half the plate with a good amount of height. Ige's is counter only, a hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Therefore there are no seats. I asked my cousin if she wanted to grab a table at Neal Blaisdell park down the street and she quickly declined. So we drove back to her house for lunch. My cousin did enjoy her chicken hekka and pork. I'm didn't get to taste it because I was too involved with my meal. At first glance, it wasn't the brick, lasagna-style like school where there was a thick layer of cheese on top. However, without the cheese, it was still tasted the same from what I could remember. Because the portion is heavy, my cousin could only eat a fourth of her lunch while I thought I better tap out at 1/3. So she didn't need to make dinner for her family while I had dinner and lunch for the next day. Although the interaction was short, the counter person was pleasant and very helpful. As you look into the kitchen, you can see a lot of people hustling back there as they also do catering. I'll be away for two weeks but I am looking forward to picking up lunch when I get back and I am definitely brining family here, I just need to figure out a good place for a picnic.

First time trying Nigerian food and fufu! Aunty is a one woman food truck and does it all. I've…read morebeen seeing lots of videos online of this spot so I had to try it. Had no idea what to expect but we ordered egusi and fufu. Yum! Egusi is a sort of stew I would say that is very rich, and has deep strong meat flavor! There were bits of fatty beef and pork in the egusi that was absolutely delicious. The fufu has sort of a stickier mashed potato consistency and really lets you soak in the egusi flavor, and also cuts down on the richness. Service was so nice and she wanted everyone in line to at least get a Fufu portion before she sold out. Get there early as there was a long line. She could very well sell out as well. I caught her at her waipio spot, but read she is also in wahiawa and also offers cooking classes which could be a fun date night. Will be back!

One of our favorite is Thursday's enchiladas. The portion is HUGE and it is ONLY $7.50. The mac salad is wonderful too, which is an item I am picky about anywhere I go.

Each day they have a variety of selections but their staples are: Roast Pork ($6.50), Beef Stew ($6.50) shoyu chicken ($6.50). Specails on Thursday usually are: Chicken Enchilada ($7.00), fish of the day ($7.00) today was sauteed ono, withmushroom tomato & basil sauce last week was mahi), meat of the day ($7.00)(today was corn beef n cabbage, last week was prime rib)., buffalo chicken ($6.50). You gotta get there early cause most of the plates run out by noon. The flavoring is excellent!! they give plenty food the chicken enchiladas are to die for...... If you want a mixed plate gotta add-on $1.00 and a mini plate you can subtract a $1.00. Probably the best plate lunch wagon in Halawa valley!!
