Being of mixed race, I've been exposed to many cultures within my own family. Yet, one of my best memories was being dropped off with my sister to my grandparents house because we knew we would eat well with all the Okazuya foods in grandmas kitchen! Sometimes it was as simple as... Oh, the start of this review was written years ago and I never finished it! So long story short, Fukuya has been around since the 1930's and I've stopped by countless times over the years. Not my favorite Okazuya, but definitely one of the busiest with one of the largest selections! Authentic, convenient, & open before 5am! In the end, I highly recommend Fukuya for those that live in Hawaii with roots that go back generations to the plantation days. Heck, I'd recommend to just about anyone who loves simple picnic foods that our grandparents once enjoyed. Not much has changed over the years except the bright building and prices.

We've only ordered pans, and the first two times we ordered we reached a minimum of $1k so they delivered their food to our party venue. The last two, we didn't meet the minimum requirement, so we went to pick up our food. The pans were always packed neatly. The portions are great. The only thing is when we ordered the garlic chicken, it is really big portion so if you're serving it for a small kids, bring scissors so you can cut them into smaller pieces.

Caramelized onion and apple tarts, and strawberry cupcakes! The set up was perfect! Unfortunately some of the chaffing dishes were on the small side and we ran out of food.

If you're thinking of going with Picnics from the Vine for your catering needs, do it! Kelly and…read moreher team BLEW my expectations out of the water with her grazing table!! I had my vision but Kelly took my vision, added her magic, and came up with an even better idea that I had and I am sooo grateful for her! There were many reasons why I am grateful I went with Kelly: 1) She's experienced. As far as I could tell, Kelly has done many catering gigs so she thinks of all the little details that I missed--things like food spacing, what matches on a table, and what elevates a space. For example, she tied lavender to the table and it gave the space extra aromatics that made the tasting pleasant! All of these things that I didn't know, she did--and she was so helpful! 2) She's creative! Our idea was to have a matcha-themed, grazing board with lots of greenery and vegetation. She listened to my ideas and added on hers (but asked me first!) which I loved! She took my idea and leveled it up. 3) Her customer service is top-notch! She was very professional, responsive, friendly, but also very relatable in all of our conversations. She understood my need to create something amazing and visually appealing within my means and made suggestions that made it worth it to spend a little more that actually made it easier for me as I planned the event. Kelly was early/on-time and had everything ready to go by the time we agreed on. She even patiently stayed for the duration of the WHOLE event just to help us clean up after (thank you so much, Kelly!). The event went a little longer and she did not complain (so sorry, Kelly!). 4) She's tentative. Throughout my conversations and planning with her, she asked me for approval for things and ran ideas by me. Kelly asked me good questions and really paid attention to what I wanted. In the end, she really took the heavy lifting out of catering and executed what I wanted (and MORE!). The results were stunning! 5) Her food was delicious! Kelly put flavors together that I have never tried before. There were hand wrapped dolmas, truffle oil egg tea sandwiches, matcha Lilikoi cupcakes, cheese spreads with balsamic glazes, toasted nuts, and so much more. I've had so many charcuterie boards but hers stood out from the rest. 6) She goes above and beyond. Kelly didn't have to, but she thought it would be a cool idea to have matcha cupcakes, so she baked matcha Lilikoi cupcakes, beautifully dusted with matcha powder on the top and they were a hit! It was sooo moist and delicious. Everyone was so impressed that the grazing table mirrored the matcha event. Overall, we were so happy with the results! I'm probably missed so many details, but that's how good she was and how pleasant she was to work with! I thought certain decorations were going to be the highlight of the evening, but EVERYONE took photos and videos of her grazing table because it was a work of art! If you're on the fence about how to cater with, don't hesitate. Call Kelly and her team--you WON'T be disappointed. I will definitely be coming back to Kelly for all of my catering needs. Thank you Kelly and team! You were amazing!!

Did you know that Fishcake in Kaka'ako has various pop-ups at the front of their shop ahhhh yeah and what caught my attention was the sign for Panday Coffee placed right outside on the sidewalk but as I entered caught a whiff and saw DC Caterings in the kitchen area. Very minimal set up that it was almost a missed opportunity and I as I browsed at the menu options it seemed quite simple with just three options though it wasn't as it was Risotto! I just love risotto and the complex build is so yummy that I just can't believe the luck of this discovery and it was either Mushroom, Shrimp or Smoked Risotto choices and of course I was tossed between the Mushroom or Smoked he said that I could add meats/mushroom in either choices but stuck to the Mushroom Risotto which has shallots, garlic in the dish as well while it's finished with white wine and some fresh parmesan cheese I also chose to add truffle oil for the bit of bougieness and what a heavenly bite. As I chose to enjoy it there it was nice that he had it plated versus using a take out container and what a luxurious bite yet delicate as it was cooked perfectly as this unexpected find turned to a relaxing lunch along with my drink from Panday made it a nice break from my errands. Thank you!

Need to leave a review because Ari doesn't have many here, for some unfortunate reason. Honestly,…read morethe lack of reviews made me hesitant to place my catering order. Ariela is VERY responsive! That's probably why I initially decided to use her after inquiring about catering through Yelp from a different restaurant. I placed my order on a Friday for lunch on Monday and she absolutely delivered! Sorry, forgot to take the photo before some people ate. For $30/person, Ari made: - char sui fried rice - tasty and a tad sweet - not shown in photo because I put it away already. - Mac salad - I didn't eat this but others said was pretty good - light mayo - black beans - ono and something I wouldn't typically order - jerk chicken- the best, most tender, flavorful and spiciest I've ever had. Don't let the appearance fool you! Ari grills them (even though we were in the middle of a wind storm)! - spicy oxtails in a savory soup - we thought the chicken was spicy but I think this soup was more spicy! I'm excited to eat the leftovers as a soup! - cabbage - this dish was unexpected but Ari added it and actually, the first compliment I got on the food was about the cabbage! It had a smoky flavor and lightly cooked. - tossed salad with 2 dressings - can never go wrong! - lilikoi/guava pastry with coconut sprinkles I was truly impressed with her service but was super happy with the food!! If you don't like spicy, she said she can make whatever you want. Everything was ono! Don't forget to tip her because she said she tries to keep her costs fair and doesn't make much profit.

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!
