Parking is the biggest challenge here. Everything else is great food at great prices. New menu includes local favorite meals for $7. Credit cards accepted.
Cozy and great for groups or families. Very Popular and always busy. Expect to wait if it's busy, usually its quick. Enjoy..
Really yummy! Teri beef was tender and with a light soy flavor. The broth was light with a hint of seafood. Noodles were a bit beyond al dente but still had a nice chew to them

A go to place at the end of the night. Saimin with Won Ton always hot. The Hamburger Steak taste like homemade. I eat Saimin with Hamburger and French Fries. I go home and sleep good. The staff friendly and polite.

This place still reminds me of old school homey restaurant style everything. That's a good thing! Their saimin is my comfort food - with "choke" mustard, because I like it when you can actually taste it and it makes your nose run just enough! I don't stray from my usual saimin with side shrimp tempura, but my kids like the cheeseburger and fries, and my man likes their combo plates (and green river!). The last time we were there, they didn't have their yummy cone sushi, and I don't know if they still offer it, but that was always my mom's favorite. The older aunties are just friendly enough to not make you feel uncomfortable and they're pretty efficient too. The parking isn't great, so you have to time it just right - we usually go at those weird in between times. I'm pretty sure there's at least one handicap parking stall. Ps. The bathroom is outside of the restaurant and you need to ask for a key. Oh! Also, the last time we were there, I saw a Bite Squad sign indicating that they deliver.
For what it is, this is one of my favorite old-school saimin places. Yes, the seats are old and lumpy in some spots, but everything's clean. The prices are going up, but that's everywhere! Valerie and Jan provide awesome, pleasant and efficient service, and the broth is rich, yet not too salty. My favorite is the actual noodle. When I'm not craving a curly, imported ramen with all the "bells and whistles", when all i want is simple, perfectly cooked noodles, this my forever go-to. So... this is not a candle-light restaurant and I could criticize many things unreasonably, but SUPER delicious food, clean seatings, appropriately professional servers, and that old-school saimin stand feel? Yeah, I love this place.
Small local dive type diner, tucked away, with little parking. However, the Ramen Soup (Saimin) is amazing, and its low key and quaint. A must try eat in experience.
Much larger menu than nearby Palace Saimin, but Palace Saimin noodles are always perfect and these are sometimes a little over cooked. We sometimes come here on days when Palace Saimin is not open.
Can't go wrong with the Kama'aina specials for $10. Comes with sandwich, saimin and BIG cold drink. TVs on the wall and old school booths to sit in. Comfort food for locals.
My favorite place to eat saimin! I used to get the special saimin but that was always too much for me. Glad they have the saimin combo now cause you have a choice of small or large. 👍
Da best saimin shot hands down
