Andagi

Finally got the chance to stop by Ige's after seeing their plate lunches all over my social media feeds for ages. Ige's is a casual, hole in the wall, located in Harbor Center. Although it seems hidden and easy to miss among the many wholesale stores, the crowd of customers lined up at the window shows thats it's not a secret. The line moves quickly and the cashiers up front are welcoming and efficient. The sweet sour spareribs are definitely worth returning for. Tender, saucy and flavorful. The pickled onions on the side elevated the meal to a 5/5. The prices are affordable and the portions are huge! I only wish their take out hours were longer so I could stop by for dinner!

Plate lunch with generous portion of Teribeef and chowfun, on bed of white rice and MacSalad!

Wife sample the Chow Fun and Teripork with mac salad in bed of rice! As twist of treat I bought roll of maki sushi! And service was fast and no chance of mistake! We both love it!

Shoyu chicken plate special on Thursdays
Mae D.

I went there two days in a row this week because I had to take my car to DADS Auto Body. The first day I was there because I wanted the roast turkey plate with stuffing, which is on special on Wednesdays. The plate was stacked! I had to share with my son when I got home. The turkey was delicious and moist and not dry at all. Gravy all over! I also got three pieces of andagi for dessert and washed it down with a large fruit punch. So yummy! Went to visit again the next day on Thursday because I wanted the shoyu chicken plate special. Also saw that they have the Hawaiian plate on special as well so I scooped up two Thursday plate specials to share with family at home. Very delicious and generous portions that my family and I mopped up both plates! Gotta get the andagi for dessert and large drink again lol. There were two lines but didn't want to order from the takeout window on the side because it was too hot. Will definitely go back to try the other specials. Great prices and value for the amount of food they give. Don't forget to follow on their Facebook or IG page @igesaiea for their weekly specials.

Da bomb sweet and sour spareribs
Jason C.

This place has never and I mean NEVER, let me know down. HUGE portions, affordable prices, and tasty very tasty. There is always a line which just enforces the fact that they are legit. I'm 6'3" 300 pounds and at my prime I had a hard time smashing their plate. The two plates I bought yesterday fed 3 adults 2 Keiki and still had plenty leftovers for dinner. Their Mac salad is simple yet delicious and compliments any dish you get. My go to is always the sweet and sour spareribs. They have never let me down. I always like to try something new and this time was yummy with the pick of chicken fried steak which didn't have any steak and was more like chicken cutlet which is what I actually wanted but just funny that they call it chicken fried steak. I highly recommend this place although I don't really have to cause those who know, know it's an institution. I LOVE this place and hope it never goes away or prices get outrageous.

Thanksgiving turkey plate - after we ate the pickled onions.

My partner & I don't care for turkey so for Thanksgiving we decided to just get a few turkey plates. Minimum preorder was 4 plates for pick up on Weds. At 9:30 am there was only 1 person before me at the preorder window. The take out line was about 20 long but moved fast. Very well organized! The most impressive part of this experience is that the turkey meal was the best ever! One plate was shared by 3 adults & 2 kids (just added rice) The pickled onions were also perfect-not too sweet & just the right amount of vinegar. We were planning to freeze some of the turkey from the other plates but we loved it so much they're almost gone. I don't care for local plate lunches/okazuya because the food tends to be too salty & overcooked. This meal was unlike that I really appreciate the great meal at a reasonable & affordable price! Thank you!!!

Shoyu Chicken plate with Brown Rice, Toss Salad, & Pickle Onions.
Fran C.

I gotta give it up to my Yelp buddy - Donna O. for encouraging me to check out - "Ige's Lunchwagon & Catering" in Aiea! So let's talk about shoyu chicken, as I'm always searching around da 808 for local style shoyu chicken, and recently Donna O. had shot me a text to suggest I check out Ige's Lunch Wagon's version of their shoyu chicken. When looking on Yelp, I asked my friend - Donna O. if Masa's Cafeteria was related to Ige's, as in the past when I went to Masa's Cafeteria in the Mapunapuna industrial area, I remembered seeing the Ige's Catering sign. If you're ever in the Aiea neighborhood, if you know where Cutter Ford is, there are a whole bunch of businesses in that industrial complex, and Ige's Lunchwagon and Catering is one of the businesses in that industrial complex. Ige's Lunchwagon and Catering is a takeout/ "grab & go" business. There is absolutely no table seating here, so be prepared to find someplace to eat your food after making your purchase. Upon checking out Ige's Lunchwagon and Catering's menu on Yelp, I found out that Ige's only serves Shoyu Chicken on Thursday, so Thursday was the day I made my pilgrimage to Ige's. I made sure I went to Ige's early on Thursday morning (I went about 10:30 am). There are two reasons on why I went early - 1. I went early, so that way, for sure, I'll get my Shoyu Chicken plate. Sometimes, when a dish is popular, they can run out early. 2. I saw some pics of long lines in front of Ige's, so I figured if I got there early, I'd avoid the long lines. Finally got my Shoyu Chicken fix, and what can I say about it? Da Buggah was WINNAH'S!!! Ige's gives you a choice between white or brown rice, mac salad or tossed salad for your plate lunch. I ended up getting brown rice & tossed salad with my Shoyu Chicken plate. For ($13.87 w/tax) I got a ridiculous amount of Shoyu Chicken! When I picked up my Shoyu Chicken plate, it was definitely a wrist bender, as the plate was supah HEAVY! As I was chomping on my plate, I realized they put SEVEN, yes (7) pieces of Shoyu Chicken on my plate! Granted two Shoyu Chicken pieces were on the small side, but the other five pieces were definitely regular sized thighs. Oh man! I was in Shoyu Chicken, heaven!!!! After downing that plate in one seating, I almost went comatose, and rest assured, I did not eat dinner afterwards because I was still very full from my ridiculous lunch!!!! I can't wait to come back here for more Shoyu Chicken, as Ige's Lunchwagon and Catering definitely moved up my list of favorite places for Shoyu Chicken!

BBQ Tips (tender beef)
Eric M.

Still a great place for plate lunches. They have daily specials for Tuesdays thru Saturdays; closed on Mondays & Sundays; advertised on IG. We got two of our Tuesday favorites - BBQ Tips and Fresh Corned Beef & Cabbage. And they give a lot of food. We were able to have leftovers for dinner & a little more for tomorrow's lunch. They even sell Andagi & Maki Sushi rolls. The plates also include the standard two scoops rice, Mac salad, & pickled onions (if you like that). :) You can call in your order & then avoid the walk in line by going to their separate window for pickups. There are also lots of parking.

Holiday special in 2024, was a hit at our party
Jen C.

I would give more than 5 stars if i could, this place is winners! I ordered the Christmas Eve Holiday package that fed 10-15 people which had Fried chicken, Shoyu Pork, maki/oishi sushi, potato macaroni salad, namasu, chow mein and andagi for $220. Everything went so smooth from the initial ordering and payment a few weeks prior to pick up to picking up the food on christmas eve. They had the best friendly organized assembly line of employees for food pickup. I was worried about carrying the food to my car since i was alone but they had everything taken care of and wheeled the 7 trays of food to my car. The food was a hit at our family christmas eve party. We had Ten people with lots of leftover food. Everyone loved the food and it was the perfect idea for our christmas party. Thank you Iges Aiea for making our family Christmas Eve dinner so special. Saved us time from cooking and we all enjoyed the food. The food was so good I forgot to take photos before everyone dug in. We all agreed we will order this holiday package again next year if it is offered.

Today I got to try the Sweet & Sour Sparerib for $14.50 and they did give a lot and it was good. I was able to eat half for lunch and saved the rest for dinner. It was a great deal. Also, the workers are very nice.

Specials as of 04/03/25...
T S.

Love Ige's! Food is always fresh and portions are awesome. The workers are always happy and smiling no matter how busy they are, even crack jokes with you. They take credit cards now for purchases $20 and up and they do NOT charge any service fee... *** bag of poi is not from Ige's... I bought my own***

Roast Turkey plate
Julie T.

We ordered Lunch from here today. I got the Pork Tofu and my Hubby got the Meatloaf w/ gravy. I also ordered two maki sushi rolls and ondagi donut.

Thanksgiving Plate..... IYKYK

Longtime take out lunch spot serving local plate lunches with a Japanese/Okinawan flair hidden in an industrial park in back of Goodwill in Aiea. Daily specials that now are posted on ig and have a wide variety to choose from. Been coming here for over two decades and is still one of the best plate lunches when youre hungry. *Tip* Go early since some if the faves sell out quick... Snooze u lose. Ask for the pickled onions too. And get a side order of andagi or maki sushi also.... You're welcome:) Cash and credit card accepted.

Lunch menu. 09/01/23
Lisa T.

Lunch menu available Tuesday to Friday. Hours 930am to 1pm. Reasonable prices. Good portion. Catering menu is very reasonable. Recommend andagi, sushi, pickled onions. I've been stopping by when in the Aiea area. Highly recommend.

Turkey Plate!!!!! Don't mind the cranberry...that's from home.

See all

Look at the value of what you paid for. Food is piled on and it's actually 2 or 3 meals.

Haven't been here since in a long time. Generally traffic makes it difficult to exit so I forego…read moreretrying. Today I decided to try picking up dinner since traffic was great! Luckily I had cash as there is a 3% credit card fee. Best to get set combo plates or food is charged by the pound. Forgot to snap a pick of the poke counter as the inside is very tiny and didn't want to block the counter. Poke looks fresh...maybe next time. Although it was nice to try, I found some of the items were a bit salty. Surprisingly I enjoyed a fish with mushroom offering that I thought was mushroom lasagna with white sauce. Lol no pasta in this dish. 4 stars for offering a variety of options. There is something for everyone! Support local and help keep small businesses like this survive!

I haven't been here in years. Was headed to workout, so figured I'd eat something small. I…read moreordered a half pound container of stew, which was two small pieces of meat, a tiny piece of potato, and two small pieces of carrots. No rice. Just the stew. I was floored when the cashier said it was $14 and change. Everyone knows the 1/2 pound poke containers, and know how small it is. We're talking beef stew. NOT poke! So I'm figuring, they charge about $30 a lb? I can't believe what was in the container weighed even 1/2 pound. Cashier suggested the mini plate which was $13 and change. One scoop rice and about 10 chopped pieces of lettuce as the salad. Oh, and the stew dumped on the mini container from the half pound container. I should've went to Ige's down the street. The stew was salty. One good thing was the beef was soft and not tough. Cashier was nice too. This is the only reason for 2 stars. Hard pass on the prices here with average tasting stew. Paid cash to avoid any 3% service charge!
