Family place to eat Great local atmosphere 😃
Food is good. Nothing super fancy. A great family place. Service is awesome. They are really friendly and sweet. Would I go again? Yes, absolutely. I just need to keep trying different things to find my favorite. My brother loves their roast pork. I haven't found my favorite yet.
Best oxtail soup!
Great value, very affordable and a large selection in the menu. And the food is very good. Seems to be popular with the locals.
Can get crowded at times though. Friendly service.
Went to have breakfast after grabbing some poi donuts from kam bakery. I’ve never been here but my mom said she’d never go back, so I had to try it out for myself.
Right when we walked in was greeted by the hostess and was able to sit down.
Are we just came shortly after asked if you want anything to drink?
I got water and a coffee. The coffee was 4.95 but have free refills.
I ordered the Tanaka special and my other half ordered the miso butter fish.
Now you think about a place that has saimin in their name who would think the broth would have some flavor, but it doesn’t. The teriyaki beef and the potato salad was good.
As for the butter fish, it was a nice portion for $21 the favor wise it was not good. On the plus side my son did enjoy the saimin.
Service is friendly and fast. But honestly, would I go back again, probably not. At least I got to try it.
Customer service outstanding...service is fast..
Great places. The food and prices are great here.
This time I only ate saimin, but it was very delicious as it is a Japanese dashi style ramen.
The staff were all very nice people and the atmosphere was good.

Great chop steak, and my wife's fried min was fabulous. Had soup and sandwich. Hadn't been here for a while. Was in the area and de died to eat here because it's one of my favorite places. Cathy took real good care of us. It's always a pleasure. This time, we went for breakfast, and we had the Tanaka's special. It's 3 egg omlete with bacon, tomato, onions, mushrooms, and spinach. I highly recommend it.
Cathy is really on the ball! We also took home a shrimp tempura plate.

For a really good bowl of saimin, this is the place! We ordered saimin (add veggies) and the Hawaiian plate (Friday plate of the day). Compliments to the chef, both were outstanding! The service was quick and efficient and the seating (diner style) was comfortable.

A very traditional eatery in an industrial area. We went for the siamin soup and noodles and were not disappointed. The service was awesome and we were welcomed as locals.

Visited the store for the first time in a while. We had a great time as usual. Today's parent and child saimin has a gentle taste. The lilikoi chiffon cake for dessert was also delicious.
Please continue to be a place of relaxation.
