    While at the Food and New Products Show I had a hard time deciding what to eat. There were so many choices but I kept coming back here because it was different. I have never had Nigerian food so I decided to get the lamb and jerk chicken plate which also came with rice and tossed green salad. The jerk chicken and lamb both had good flavor. The jerk chicken was not that spicy if you are concerned about that. You can tell the food was made with care and attention. The only thing that could have been better is the carrots included were not fully cooked so they were hard and crunchy. Besides that the food was great and would like to try their oxtail next time.

    Soup w/2pc chicken & fufu. Mini Sprite for size comparison. $20 not including Sprite.

    We saw a few different trucks in the Pearlridge lineup and after social media research, we went with Enchanted. Service 2.5/5. We were up first and I asked if there were smaller portions (mini-plate kine) and was told no then "how much you got, 20? I'll make you a plate for 20!" Red flag #1. As we waited, a full 7 minutes pass and the lady is consumed with entertaining 2 other people after us and not making our food. Red flag #2. We got the food and when I tell you never again, I mean NEVER AGAIN. I am wholeheartedly supportive of local businesses and I get rising cost but the amount of food for $20 was just nuts. Food 2.5/5 Soup was extremely seasoned & I'm a heavy seasoning person but this was just too much. Fufu was mush. Not sure if that's supposed to be the texture but not for us. That's just MY OPINION.

    fufu, egusi soup with beef, oxtail & lamb with rice
    Keala P.

    the fufu & egusi soup is amazing! the oxtail & lamb is also amazing. she was very friendly & gave me both oxtail & lamb with rice so i didn't have to choose just 1 type of meat. i crave the fufu & egusi all the time now. some of the best nigerian food i've had!

    Combo plate: Super tender and flavorful Jerk Chicken with sautéed shrimp with veggies, fried cabbage, and plantains. MUST TRY!!
    Bonny H.

    Enchanted By Aloha IS A MUST TRY!!!! Her food is BOMMMBBBBB!!!! Probably the best meal I've had in a looooonngg time. We ordered her combo meal Jerk Chicken and Shrimp and Jerk Chicken and Lamb and I'm telling you she'll give you more than your money's worth. It was THE BEST Jerk Chicken I've had on island by far hands down. The shrimp was super fresh and her veggies were so nicely seasoned but not salty and still had a crunch to every bite. Can't stand when I get veggies in a dish and it's mushy. Her cabbage wasn't undercooked or over cooked. It was absolutely perfect. Perfect seasoning perfectly cooked. We ordered ours with Jollpf rice which was soooooo good! And it comes with a big portion of fried plantains. Our plates were so heavy. Besides the amazing food the owner cooks the food herself and you can tell she puts her love for cooking and her heart into it. She's so jolly and happy and super friendly. She gave my kids the Oreo cream dessert that was little little fried donuts topped with crushed Oreos and cream on the house and they killed it! It was also amazing! Will definitely be a regular of hers!

    Spinach Soup

    Fufu has been all over my social media and my Nigerian friend loves it! I ordered the fufu with spinach soup. Absolutely blown away. The price was well worth it, which is unusual for me to say. I've never tried such flavor combinations and it wasn't overpowering since I grew up with Hispanic food. Fufu had mochi-like texture and the soup platter had a chicken drumstick and big chunks of meat, so it was very filling. The service was also so friendly and refreshing. My husband and I went to this and one other food truck. We're so happy to support the smaller businesses in this location. The most important thing is that my husband and I still feel very healthy - and not like we consumed an insane amount of oil. This alone will keep us coming back frequently. Next, fufu with egusi soup! Thank you!

    Rice and peas, oxtail, and jerk chicken

Authentic Mexican seafood n' ingredients so fresh, that right there is a definite yes!" SERVICE: friendly n' fully staffed INTERIOR: limited seating; can get filled up quickly EXTERIOR: same as inside, limited seating that is covered. Looks like it could have previously been a gas station. WAIT TIME: came at the right time, was helped out immediately. Line grew as soon as I ordered. Food came out staggered, but fast. Maybe 10 mins for everything. PARKING: few spaces to the side of restaurant n' a free lot to the right when facing OVERALL COMMENTS: the last time I had them was at the Kaka'ako Farmers Market in 2024 so we were due for a visit. The steak quesadilla is really good, has a nice char to the meat, filling is packed with steak n' cheese, easy enough to share, salsa that comes on the side is spicy; a lil' goes a long way. The mixed taco is yuMmmy n' loaded with 2 good size pieces of fried fish n' 2 large fried shrimp. The textures are crispy from the beer batter n' crunchy from the slaw. The chipotle aioli tops it off perfectly by adding in the creaminess. Da OG tostada is seafood freshness on a tortilla chip. The ceviche is very well made, has all the flavors coming through n' underneath that is the blue crab tobiko spread that adds another level of excellence. The avocado is the cherry on top completing the dish. Happy with everything we ordered!

The place itself is a little grimy, but it still has that busy, buzzing vibe that makes it feel like a spot people clearly come back to for the food. I got the ceviche, pescado frito, and tostada embarazada, and that ended up being the highlight. The ceviche was fresh and bright, the pescado frito was satisfying and well-cooked, and the tostada embarazada was a fun, hearty bite that really stood out. Even with the rough edges on the atmosphere, the food delivered enough to make it worth checking out. Overall, Seafood Cartel feels like more of a lively, no-frills spot than a polished dining experience. If you're looking for flavor, energy, and solid seafood over fancy surroundings, it's worth a visit.

    I was at the village market that happens every Saturday night at Pearlridge. After walking around,…read morewe decided that one of the vendors we will try from would be Pelmeshki, which serves up pierogis, which is a type of dumplings. We order an order of half beef and half cheese & potatos. The vendor recommended us get panfried (between the two options of boiled or panfried). We got to choose two sauce which we went with garlic and shoyu chili. We had to wait SO long, I think it was around 15-20+ minutes. Overall, the pierogis were just okay, my friend didn't like the potato & cheese one and the beef one was just mediocre for us. The wrapper were thick and the sauces weren't very flavorful which just made it all taste bland. The shoyu chili was NOT spicy at ALL, like not even a hint. I personally don't think I would want/try this again.

    Dumpling lover…read more.. Honestly I am and when I first discovered Pelmeshki which usually has been in the back end of the Village Night Market at Pearlridge Center I had already bought something to eat and with the amount they sell in one order there's no way that I can do it all by myself lol! These are Russian dumplings which looks like tortelloni or even some won tons that are round but are super cute and is filled with beef and pork you can have it pan fried or steamed and though I usually like pan fried I chose for steamed as it felt it would be more light and soft textured. A paired with a choice of sauce it was spicy shoyu for me. Placed my order but be prepared to wait as it's made to order though it did give me time to look around and see if anything else would capture my attention but before my eyes speak for my belly I headed back and was excited to see it was ready. Let me tell you these pillowy beauties was delicious though the dough is a bit on the chewy side as it was thicker similar to like a mandoo but it was delicious and with 20 for an order it's totally shareable and the sauce was on the thicker side and wasn't really spicy but is nice and flavorful to give a bit of kick to the Pelmeshki. The vibe at the night market is very festive and vibrant with lots of seating under the tent and a few cocktail tables for a quick bite making this a great place have some food, fun and freeing enjoyment. Thank you!

    There are 3 related but separately owned and operated family catering food businesses on Oahu, and…read moreall are home-style cooking: * Ige's Lunchwagon & Catering (Aiea); owned/operated by Ron Ige since 1990. * Ige's (Halawa). Operated by members of the extended Ige Family, focusing on buffet catering and bento services. * Ige's Catering (Mapunapuna). Originally established by Rachel Ige since 1969, opening out of Masa's Cafeteria. This review is for Ige's Lunchwagon & Catering (Aiea). I remember years ago I once ordered pork nishime ala carte, and it was so flavorful and with the generous serving, it lasted for several meals! Because I don't live nearby, I lost track of following the Instagram/Facebook menu and the short weekday hours. Thanks to Yelper Sach T. for reminding me what Ige's has to offer! This Aiea-based business is known for its generous portions of local plate lunches, catering services, and Okinawan-style dishes like sweet sour spareribs and shoyu pork. It offers daily lunch specials and catering for events, with a reputation for large, affordable meals with leftovers. Their lunch menu for the weekdays include: turkey/chicken ala king, Korean fried chicken, fresh corned beef, meatloaf, pork tofu, roast turkey, chicken curry, checken hekka, pork teri, hamburger steak, Hawaiian plate, tripe/beef stew, long rice, bbq spareribs, shoyu chicken, roast pork, chicken fried steak/katsu, catch of the day. In addition, their weekly specials per weekday include: teri beef tips, sweet sour spareribs, curryburger stew, pork cutlet w/ gravy, shoyu chicken, baked spaghetti, fried saimin, fried chicken thighs, chicken long rice, turkey tail adobo, baked luncheon meat, fresh fish patties, pork nishime, chow fun w/ pork teri, baked rosemary chicken, and catch of the day. Plus, maki sushi and cone sushi are available. Plate lunches can come with rice. mac salad, chow mein, and pickled onions; but if you want all entrée, it's $1 more. It's astounding to think of what is available! Our recent visit included our ordering of: * Sweet sour spare ribs. This is exactly how I like my sweet sour spare ribs - vinegary, meat easily off the bone or tendon, lots of gravy over rice! Old-school cooking brings back memories of eating this when growing up! * Chicken hekka. Lots of long rice, chicken, celery, green onions, shiitake make this old-school cooking dish a winner! * Maki/cone sushi. Nice flavors to this sushi that are good for snacking! Great entrees to order in place of having to cook, as they lasted for several meals for hubby and myself! Items were pre-ordered over the phone to ensure that Ige's didn't run out of food and due to the short hours that they are open. Phone orders were done processed quickly, as they just asked for your name by friendly staff. There is a separate phone order pick-up area to expedite paying and receiving your order. Otherwise, you'll find a line of customers waiting to order in the regular order line. No dine-in, as it is strictly take-out. Hours of operation are short, Tues to Fri only from 9:30a to 1:00p only; Mon and weekends closed. Free parking available in large lot shared by other businesses in the complex. Staff works out of a kitchen behind Cutter Ford in Aiea in a "lunchwagon" style of services. Known for its delicious old-school local cuisine, extensive food choices, generous portions, affordable meals, authentic flavors, and friendly customer service, Ige's Lunchwagon & Catering in Aiea is a great place for lunch or dinner! And especially if you're too lazy to cook!

    5/5/26 Found it hard to believe that I've never been here considering it has been around forever…read more I was wanting some sweet & sour spareribs which I normally get from Zippy's but they did not have it as a special that day. I read online from several foodies that Ige's has the best on the island and it was their Tuesday special. Easy to find, behind Cutter Ford, past Napa Auto Parts to the end of the building. They are a hole in the wall with a huge parking lot that can get pretty full. I was fortunate to find one right in front. It was just after noon & I was expecting a long line but no, no line. In fact, there were only 2 people at each counter window. They also had some other daily specials so I decided on a mixed plate of BBQ beef tips and sweet & sour spareribs. Got to the window and the guy told me the beef tips sold out so I opted for just the spareribs for $15. I was greeted by 2 friendly employees, a lady at the register and a guy, who got the plates. Service was very quick and the prices are cheap to the massive amount of food you get. They mostly take cash and will take credit card, $20 minimum. The plates come wtih you choice of white or brown rice, and mac or toss salad. It also comes with pickled onions, but they'll ask you if you want it. After I picked up my bag, it was pretty heavy, at least a couple of pounds. When I got home, I wasn't wrong. The spareribs filled more than 1/2 the plate! Taste - hands down the best sweet & sour spareribs on the island, better than Zippy's. Flavor was spot on with just the right balance of sweet to sour. The meat was so tender, fall off the bone. Speaking of which, there were very few bones in this dish! Nice surprise since a lot of places serve theirs with lots of bones & meat is not tender. The pickled onions were ono! The plate could easily be shareable, in fact, it lasted me 3 meals+. Ige's is certainly a hidden gem - great tasting food, affordable prices, quick and friendly service, good value. You can also call in your order and you don't have to stand in the long line to get it. They have a separate window past the main entrance with a sign saying, Take-Out Window. I will definitely be back . Support local!
