Really does have the mom and pop feel with great tasting food. Our family with a 5 and 7 year old shared two combo plates. Comfort food at its finest. I would have preferred mac salad without potatoes, but that’s just personal preference.

Food is not what it used to be several years ago, disappointed, especially because the food costs more, so you would expect it to remain the same or have a higher quality.

Sunday morning 830 no wait. Only saw locals there. Macnut Pancakes were very good. I would come back for those. The Saimin was ok not too much flavor. Veggie omelet plate was good. Order and pay at the counter when you walk in then sit down at a table. Fast service which was great because we needed to get to our tour.

Let’s be clear. You come here for the food. Authentic Hawaiian, big islander portions. It was recommended by a local and it didn’t miss.

Went there for breakfast on a weekday around 9am and got in right away. The service was good and seemed like a place run by locals and for locals, which is cool. The portions were generous and tasty. We couldn’t decide between banana and macnut pancakes, so we got some of each and both were good!

What a wonderful local place! We had the Super Saimin Noodle Soup. Noodles are handmade by the mom in the family who’s been doing this here for 45 years!! Great broth, each meat was nicely cooked. And the potato Mac was a great side dish! Perfect lunch for 2

Staff were friendly and food serving was generous amount. I ordered loco moco and ono with friends rice. Liked Ono with fried rice much more than Loco moco. Food were not greasy like other restraunts in (L&L restraunt Loco moco is really greasy).

Been here for breakfast and lunch many times. Good food, complex menu, best to look it over online before going in. If you are a visitor, this is your chance to experience local food, order something with a name you are not familiar with 🙂 The service is good, but I prefer takeaway, you are about five hundred yards from Waipoli Beach and Fuji Beach, (also called Baby Beach). Might as well have your plate lunch with an ocean view.

No frill restaurant with dine in and take out. Order at the counter before seating. Really great selection of breakfast food (sweet and savory options), Hawaiian food, rice plates, noodles etc. Came in for breakfast and got the corned beef hash. Was not what I was expecting as they were deep fried patties, but it was delicious! After tax it was under $16. Will definitely be coming back!
