Shiro's Saimin Haven

I've been going to the place for years and I'm happy to see that this place barely changed over the years. The servers are super friendly, the food is pure Hawaiian comfort, and it's a great place for families. I ordered a small saimin with a good size laulau. This place is no fuss, nothing fancy. Their plate lunch is good too. Great place to come any time of the day.

So great!! A Hawaiian local recommended this place to us for our first time trying saimin.
The people here are so nice and the saimin is so delicious! We had to return twice to savor it. There's 64 different choices for saimin including Hawaiian and diner dishes- we also tried lau lau, moco loco, poi, and burgers. These were all ok but the saimin was the star of the show. My favorites were the dry saimin (noodles had excellent texture and flavor with dipping dashi broth - pictured clockwise from steel bowl) and nabeyaki saimin (steel bowl) with lots of veggies, wonton (wontons are good here), fish cake, luncheon meat, poached egg, and chicken). We also tried the medium old fashioned (pictured 12 o clock) and Japanese saimin which were great too. I didn't try the bento A (pictured) or moco loco but heard it was good. Prices were also amazing!

It was my first time trying saimin. I think the food was okay, not bad but not that good either. The soup was too bland for me.

Aloha!

The food here at Shiro’s was tasty and pretty affordable, especially considering the good portion sizes. The menu said that their saimin and wontons are made fresh and not pre-fabricated. The staff was kind, and I appreciated the atmosphere of the establishment. There are even motivational quotes from Shiro decorating the walls! I am happy to support this small family business with history and character.

My only gripe is that the bowls that they serve the food in are plastic. It’s not healthy to mix hot food and plastic!

Ran out of Green Onions. Nostalgic place with lots of garnishes...that provides that old time MSG high.

Always a Great place to go with the family... they always handle our LARGE group well.... 10 out of 10 recommend

Love this place best local food

The saimin was good. The toppings and broth were both delicious. We got the spicy broth and there was enough for two people. The lechon could have been better but that's not what they are known for.

Soooo many delicious choices. Take your time. And plan on coming back often. I can’t resist the crispy pork belly kawali.

Haven’t been for a while. Still the best Simon on the isle! When the food is this good, who needs atmosphere.
