Ige's Restaurant & 19th Puka

Went there for lunch for the first time because of a coupon (50% off) and found it was pretty good. They give a lot. I had the teri flap meat and my other half had the hamb steak. The plates were heavy with food (I like that). It was pretty tasty. Its a very casual atmosphere like a cafateria. You order at the counter and sit at the tables to eat. I think they use that place for parties and catering. Very nostalgic (looks like the 60's in there). The counter girl said the sweet sour ribs is popular and the fish plates too. Only thing is they open 10:30-1:30 and only certain days (similar to Kahai street kitchen) but not as bad. Still, if your in the area at that time, its worth the money.(about 10 bucks a plate average)

I don't like to give under 3 stars unless the service was terrible or the workers were punk a$$e$, but if I'm keeping it real, I'll have to give this place 2.85 stars.

Let me set up the menu for you as I remember it...

Chicken, andagi, shoyu pork, andagi, rice, andagi, mac salad, andagi, meatballs, andagi, andagi, andagi, andagi, rinse and repeat.

Get the picture?  The first time we went there, for some reason, we liked the food.  Maybe we were starving.  Maybe we were deceived by the andagi balls bouncing everywhere.  Every time after that, we started realizing that it's nothing special.  It's not bad by any means, just not outstanding.  The service was fine.  

Maybe people enjoy the bar, but we don't drink, so that doesn't help us at all.  Okay food.  Just not our cup of tea.

And I suck at golf...

If there was a place I would have a party, it would be here.  Ron and his staff did a great job of handling our son's graduation party.  We chose the International menu and no one was disappointed!! Everyone raved at how good the food was.  The facility is large enough to hold 500 max, but we were at a comfortable 230.  We had entertainment and a DJ and the location was great for accommodating them with their large stage and dance floor.  The parking for the place is awesome too!  For your next large party, celebrate there!
