We decided to go here as one of the only Saimin places near Hilo. We were not disappointed. We were greeted with a kind woman who spent time taking our order and explaining things to us. After ordering, we spent some time talking with her, to which she discovered we had driven 2 hours to visit her restaurant. She happily provided us with sushi and dessert in addition to our meals, and some delicious elderberry tea. The food was delicious!! We recommend the garlic Saimin and Mochi cake!
Things to note: - You cannot eat in, only carryout. - Note the hours before going. - Paying for the local cuisine, not the design of the place...

Had the saimin, and an egg roll, the food was not bad. It cost $20 for this meal. They are in an industrial parking lot with nowhere to eat. They were running a super loud generator, so loud. Can't really recommend this place with all the other great places in Hilo to eat.

Saimin was too salty for Japanese tastes and didn't have any particular flavor. I think it's worth it if you use it for the purpose of enjoying the Japanese food culture that is rooted in the Big Island of Hawaii.

This hole-in-the-wall restaurant was a little tricky to find, but well worth it. The food was delicious, especially the Teriyaki meat. I'm not a huge meat eater, but wow was that good. Not a scrap left on the plate. The rest of my family who ate here agreed that it was delicious and would come back for the Teriyaki alone. They also have many awards displayed in their store, so it seems the locals agree.
