I randomly went into Shiggys the other day looking for a snack. I had dropped my husband off at physical therapy near kuakini and was honestly trying to go to yifang to get boba, when I realized they closed their iwilei location. So I pulled into the jollybee'a parking lot to come up with a plan. There's a s7 icy bubble that I'm not that fond of, but will go to if I'm desperate. And then on yelp I found shiggys. Shiggy is the guy who used to(?) maybe still does (?) stand in the kahala times and make sushi. I remember he made these ume, radish, sprout rolls that I loved, but really couldn't afford because it was like $5 for two little rolls. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that he has a little shop in kalihi. They offer things made to order and also offer grab and go things like little bentos and gyoza. If you go near closing, the prepared food is discounted. It's just a little to-go store. There aren't any tables to sit at and eat and it's a little run down. It has character haha. I'd be back for a snack. I hope he can still make those ume rolls. I'd splurge every now and then haha.

The $3.99 breakfast was the best that me and my friend have ever had. Shiggy was the nicest person that we had the pleasure of meeting.

Was craving an unagi don after doing some hiking earlier in the day. Shiggy is such a sweet man! If the item you want isn't already on the table, he can make it fresh. The wait wasn't too long either. Cravings satisfied!

I love this place! I come here quite a bit since it's close to my office. Shiggy always has a smile on his face and he is always so, so sweet. There's a nice selection on the menu and the food is always so good. There's also a whole table of different types of bentos, sushi, meats, etc along with a few snacks. There's even more stuff on the counter!
We ordered the $3.99 bentos for my daughter's birthday party. They were super awesome and took a phone order the same day for 15 bentos and made it fresh. The bento was super simple with rice, tamago, spam, and hot dog. The kids loved it. The shop itself is smaller and you just grab the bentos and go. It is definitely worth it to buy the $3.99 bento for any event that you may have.

Stopped at Shiggy’s quickly on our way to the airport and it was a delightful last stop to our trip! Not only was the food delicious, but also Shiggy himself was so nice and accommodating! The portions were very generous for a great price. Everything was made on the spot. Would highly recommend stopping here or ordering out!

7-28-2023 Vegetable Tempura; The texture was gummy. The taste was ok. Inari sushi; Flavor was in the aburaage ( tofu wrapper ). It was light on the vinegar flavor and not too sweet. I'm not sure if It was Shiggy at the counter. He was very friendly and kept thanking me for the monetary tip I left.Overall, I will be back. Enjoy.

I go CHANCE 'EM!!!!!Das what I said to myself after seeing da pic of an Unagi Bowl that my Yelp buddy - Da FAMOUS Auntie Nadine C. had posted on Yelp!At first, I thought this bento joint was located in Wahiawa, as I guess I got confused with Shiggy's vs. Shige Saimin Stand in Wahiawa.......(sorry old people problems! Old folks get confused Yo!) Lol!!!Shiggy's is located at da Kingsgate Plaza in Kalihi, da shop is sandwiched between a 7-Eleven store (and no, I did not sneak next door for a Garlic Chicken Musubi) & a discount T-Shirt shop.A nice little local hole-in-da-wall joint that sells pre-made bentos. They also sell a few drinks, & pastry items.I mainly came here for dat Unagi Bowl, as me digs Unagi!!!What can I say about da grindages?Buggah was broke da moufth ono!!!! When I picked up that Unagi bowl, da buggah was supah heavy! Besides the Unagi - (Freshwater Eel), underneath the eel was a nice fluffy bed of a scrambled egg, and a very generous portion of fluffy rice, topped with a side of Sansyo - (Japanese Pepper).I must say that the Unagi bowl was da perfect meal for a hearty breakfast in da morning, as the unagi sauce that was topped on the freshwater eel had spilled on top of my egg, making it a wonderful, savory, lip-smackin' meal!!!!Ummmmmmmmmmmm, I like go back and eat another Unagi Bowl again! Lol!Shoooooooooooots den! If you're not into Unagi like Bruddah Fran, go check out da $3.99 Bento DEALAGES (see my pic)! Da $3.99 Bento looked pretty ono too.

Takeout breakfast and lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii...My friend, Donna O., was First To Review a little over a year and a half ago. I also read great reviews by Craig T. and Sharon M. Thanks for the information!When I took my niece, mom, and sister to S7 Icy Bubble at Kingsgate Plaza (corner of Dillingham and King Street), I was reminded that I should go to Shiggy's. The big yellow sign in the window, "$3.99" is eye catching!Located next to 7-Eleven, Shiggy's shares the same free parking lot with Jollibee and Jiffy Lube. The cozy, clean shop has a large table filled with ready-to-go bentos and sides. The display case has some desserts and banchan. They also have a refrigerator filled with cold drinks. I decided to get the $3.99 special bento. It has a red hotdog, slice of spam, tamagoyaki, Furikake, red ginger, and takuan on a bed of white rice. I also got the Unagi Bowl and the tofu nuggets with katsu sauce.I liked everything! The spam in the $3.99 bento was on the sweet side. The Unagi had some scrambled egg on the rice. The tofu nuggets didn't really need sauce, but the sauce made it a bit more fun!Service was very polite, efficient and cheerful! I think I saw Shiggy - he was smiling and energetic! This positive experience makes me want to return!
Purchased this at Times McCully. The Tamago Nigiri and Inari Sushi. The rice is terrible. It's like mushed or clumped together. Like mochi rice. With the high ratings here for Shiggy's I hope today was just a bad day for them! But isn't there any quality control person in the kitchen? I wouldn't have let this go on the shelves.

Update on Shiggy's this morning decided to put gas at Costco Iwilei. Passed by Shiggy's many times and always seen the opensign on. Didn't realize Shiggy's would be open that early in the morning around 5am. Actually his hours online is from 6am - 4pm Mon-Sat but he's already open at 5amI ordered his breakfast specials bento only $3.99 can't go wrong . Includes rice , hot dog , spam , egg and Japanese daikon. Shiggy's located at the corner of King.st and Dillingham right next door to 7-11 and Jolibee chicken same shopping center. Service is always friendly and Shiggy's always there to greet you . Support local especially small businesses

I went to Shiggy's after eating the Vegetable Croquette and found that his store is located next to Seven-11 by Jolly Bee in Liliha. /Although they open at 5:00am and I went there at 6:50am EVERYTHING was still fresh & hot. They even made the DELICIOUS INARI SUSHI!!!!! The Karaage Chicken, Shrimp Shumai and the Vegetable Croquettes were ALL oishi!!!!!!'l
