Ige's Lunchwagon & Catering

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.

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.

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!

Always a go to when i'm near the area and craving a good sized portion plate lunch. It can be two to three meals with the amount they give and for $15 it's a deal. On tuesdays I get the korean friend chicken with rice, mac salad, and pickled onions.

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.

Need food for 3 days? Just order a regular plate lunch. This place just packs the food on your plate. Don't forget to get the pickle onions too. Affordable, quality food. Bang for your buck!

Called our order in to save time in the walk in line. Food was ready in about 10 minutes so was very nice. Bbq tips was on the sweet side so not everyone's taste.

Came here for the first time... pretty popular - line of people at 9:30am, but service is fast (3 service windows). Nice menu options and Plates were affordable. Walked away with a pretty heavy bag. Other customer told me, "This place is good. Your first time? You won't regret it." Agree... portion is generous - plate can be shared. Classic, local plate lunch... nice addition of pickled onions (optional). Will definitely return to try out other menu items.

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.

Local (Hawaiian) food is local food, right? Not exactly! Many of these local mom and pop food spots have unique recipes.I've eaten from Ige's Aiea countless times in the last year, from potlucks and eating with coworkers, and the food is consistent! Below are highlights and my faves:- Pork adobo. I'm Filipino, and Ige's has some of the best pork adobo from a restaurant I've had on the island. Just the right balance of shoyu, vinegar, and savory pork flavors. - Sweet and sour spareribs. This tastes like this special pork stew that my mom would cook with hearts of banana. - Shoyu pork. Not to be confused with pork adobo, but this is so ono as well!- Hawaiian plate. Comes with laulau, kalua pork, chicken long rice, lomi salmon, and of course, rice and mac salad. Seriously, tourists won't need to visit a luau. This plate will not disappoint and shows a sampler of good traditional Hawaiian food. - Fried chicken. Cut up dark meat fried up, in the style of mochiko chicken. This is really good, but best eaten when fresh out of the kitchen. - The "International" Menu Package for catering. Includes andagi and one of my favorites--sweet and sour spareribs. The fried chicken and teri beef are delish, too!- Fried saimin. So filling and tasty from the topping of char siu pork bits. Not too salty nor greasy! You can tell Ige's adds freshly chopped green onions right before they close the styrofoam box. - Pickled onions. Adds freshness to the ono plate lunches. If my husband and I ever host visiting family or friends, and we're not eating out or I'm not cooking, I hope we remember to order food from Ige's! Tourists: if you're visiting the Pearl Harbor/Pearlridge/Aiea area, pick up a meal at Ige's!Follow Ige's Aiea on Instagram at @igesaiea to be alerted on their changing weekly specials. Closed weekends and Mondays (unless you go for catering and enjoy their meals any day!)
