Ige's Lunchwagon

Pearl Harbor & Leeward O‘ahu


Like a food truck, only there's no truck. This family-run legend hidden deep in a commercial complex turns out memorable Hawaiian food, including pork teriyaki, beef curry, Korean fried chicken and savory laulau (pork steamed in taro leaves). It's all takeout; get there by noon before the day's specials sell out. It's convenient for the Pearl Harbor Bike Path.
