This white lunch wagon sits on the corner of South and Halekawila St. Prices range from $4.25 for a mini to $6.75 for a regular. I have tried both the garlic chicken (regular $5.75) and the garlic ahi with sweet wasabi sauce ($6.75). Your choice of brown or white rice, mac or toss salad, at no extra charge. There are many other things on the menu, like a Hawaiian Steak, pork adobo, hamburger steak, mushroom chicken, and fried poke, just to name a few.
The garlic ahi was great. Lightly breaded and fried, then covered with a sweet and spicy wasabi sauce then with black sesame seeds. The mac salad is sometimes pretty plain, with small bits of carrots and celery to add color. I think I will opt for the toss salad next time.
Sorry no picture, I was too hungry to take one, and when I figured out how much I liked it, it was too late. I will definitely go back and get a picture and phone number and update this blog.
If you are in the town area, I highly recommend trying out this little lunch stop.

Old Spaghetti Factory-Honolulu
Located in Ward Warehouse all the way at the end near Kincades. Fairly cheap prices and lots taste. I know there are many people who don't like eating here, but the wait is usually less than 15 minutes, and the food comes out pretty quickly. Plus, where else can you eat in a trolley car?
Hot fresh from the oven bread is served while waiting for your food. Salad is always fresh, (although iceberg lettuce) and order it with the creamy pesto dressing. I do tend to try and order different things when going places, but this place I always order the exact same thing. The pictures says it all, the Manager's Special $9 (choose 2) I opt for the meat sauce and brown butter mizithra cheese. Mix it up and enjoy. My wife ordered the Spinach tortellini with Alfredo sauce $9 (hat shaped pasta stuffed with meat and cheese, swimming in alfredo sauce). My sister in law went for the Spaghetti with browned butter and Mizithra cheese $8.20. If you are really hungry you can get a larger portion of spaghetti and more sauce for $1.95 more. Ask for the hearty meal. They offer a "complete meal" by adding a drink and some spumoni for dessert. Only $2.75 more. Not too bad.
If you are in town and not sure where to eat, give this place a chance.
