Every Wednesday, you can find reasonably priced local plate lunches outside of Kaiser Permanente's Medical Office Building on the corner of Pensacola and South King Street. The plate lunches are offered by G-Town Catering (Instagram: @gtowncatering), which I had never heard of before. But as I saw one of the guys loading a take-out container with noodles, that caught my eye and I knew I just had to try it (I love noods!).

Here's what today's menu looked like - as you can see they have a nice selection of local favorites, from shoyu chicken to furikake crusted ahi. But what I really wanted was the fried yakisoba noodles with ahi cake.
For $11, this was a deal! The plate was loaded to the max with yakisoba. They left just enough space for a decent-sized ahi cake to fit on top. The
I knew I was not going to finish all the noodles, which meant I would have leftovers for dinner (or the next day's lunch - woohoo!).
The ahi cake was amazing. As you can see from the picture below, it's primarily all ahi, with some veggies and minimal fillers mixed in. Even without the aioli drizzle, this ahi cake would have been moist and flavorful.
While I was waiting to pay for my plate, they offered me a sample of the ground beef curry - delicious! I'm definitely coming back if I'm ever nearby on a Wednesday during the lunch hour. There's only street parking available (unless you're coming here to visit one of the offices in the building), but there's lot of metered parking in the area.
Also here on Wednesdays (9 am - 12 pm) is Flour Lei (@flourlei) - she specializes in breads (honey whole wheat bread), cinnamon rolls, and cookies. Unfortunately she was sold out of cinnamon rolls by the time I got here, but I bought a bag of soft sugar cookies and boy were these super soft and chewy!
Find these two vendors every Wednesday at Kaiser Honolulu - 1010 Pensacola Street, Honolulu, HI.
