    Sure, you can get saimin at a number of eateries throughout Oahu from local chains (including Zippy's, of course) to vintage spots like this one. Operating since 1946, Palace has a unique local vibe that felt spartan yet casually friendly. Jamie W and I took the local bus, the 42, and then walked through a heavily industrial area to get here. We expected a wait on a Saturday morning, but no, there was a table free just for us. It honestly looked like an employee lunch room, but we really didn't come for ambiance. The backlit menu on the wall was similarly sparse as it focused on the essentials - saimin, won ton, udon, and meat sticks with various combinations offered. And that was it (Photo 3). Pretty easy. We both ordered large bowls of the $10.25 Won Ton Min since we got five won tons to go with the saimin noodles, pork chashu, and chopped green onion (Photo 9). It was genuinely top of the class with the curly noodles swimming in the savory broth which was made with boiled pork and beef bones. The richness made a huge difference over the standard dashi broth. Because I knew how popular they were from YouTube vloggers, we both ordered the $4 BBQ Sticks, chunks of tasty teriyaki beef on bamboo skewers (Photo 8). It was totally worth the long bus ride. I was motivated to buy the 80th anniversary T-shirt (Photo 6). FOOD - 5 stars...as good as saimin gets thanks to the rich broth and al dente noodles AMBIANCE - 4 stars...it's really a lunch room but a serviceable one SERVICE - 5 stars...the female owner was really friendly TOTAL - 5 stars...definitely coming back on our next Honolulu adventure RELATED - Exploring Hawaii? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://yelp.to/uYcafC7R5e

    Update 3-4-26. After picking up papers in town coming back towards home my husband said let's see if get parking at Palace Saimin and if get we go eat. Well had 1 stall we was lucky So went in and we ordered small won tun mein and BBQ stick. This time the won ton was good wasnt gummy and broth came out hot. The BBQ stick was lightly marinated and even though the meat was alittle sliced on the thick side it was ok. All in all it was better than the last time we went they improved alot more on the won tun wrappers.

    Best saimin BECAUSE of the beef sticks. Small quaint venue literal hole in the wall but we've been coming here since I was small. The beef sticks are the best accompaniment to the saimin and you have to get extra sauce and mix it with your hot mustard. Bring cash and don't forget to tip your small local businesses.

    This was my first meal in Hawaii and I thought the restaurant was very cute and cozy. The staff were also very welcoming. They specialize in saimin, so there are only a few options on the menu (which I think is great because it makes choosing something a lot easier). I got the saimin with wontons and it was such a comforting and filling meal. The mustard that is served with the noodles is quite strong so I didn't eat it, but the BBQ skewers were done very nicely! I think this isn't something I would get often, but I definitely enjoyed my first experience.

    My mom said, it was the best saimin she's ever had in her entire life! Service was amazing, they were so nice and food came out fast and piping hot. Broth was flavorful and simple. Noodles were chewy and fresh and, I loved the flavor of the beef was soft and juicy. Cute place so homey. Mahalo for the 'ono food!

    An OG classic off king st, this place keeps it hella simple and serves just a few things: saimin, udon, wontons, and meat sticks. Tbh brah if I come here, Im coming here for some saimin so I can't speak on the other things but yeah. Saimin here is gas. Not much seating + the parking kinda lame so just be aware depending on when you stopping by.

    This was the best meal I had in Honolulu during my trip. It's a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant with a straightforward menu. We had a lot of luggage with us, and they were so welcoming and accommodating and let us keep the luggage in the restaurant while we dined in. We tried the bbq sticks, and I got the wonton min (saimin with wontons) and my boyfriend got the saimin. The bbq sticks were so good and flavorful, and I loved how simple and deciduous the saimin and wontons were. The prices were also incredible, especially for Honolulu. I'd definitely come here on a regular occasion if I lived closer and would highly recommend for a good bowl of delicious saimin.

    Gotta support these OG places! Saimin is firm, broth is shrimps/ aroma is in the air. Prices still reasonable and service is fast and friendly. Take credit card and debit card, no % charge..There's about 5-6 parking stalls, otherwise find street or a post office parking lot at night/ Sundays. Even large bowl saimin is hefty. Good side beef chunks for the BBQ stick. i'm gonna try the combo next time (mix of saimin/ udon/ won ton)?

    Palace Saimin is a place for local comfort food in an unassuming place in Kalihi. Many old timers in the area are fond of their famous saimin and BBQ sticks from their younger days and have yearnings to re-visit from time to time.....like my older family members. It's a small, casual, no frills type of food joint. Service was friendly and attentive. Parking is limited in the shared lot and can be challenging especially during peak hours.

    First time visiting here. Won't be my last. First of all the prices can't be beat, secondly the saimin is simply delicious. The service is friendly and feels like eating at my families house. Much aloha! No glitz and glamour just a hole in the wall joint that I would take over a fancy pricey restaurant any day. 80 years in business, you know they're doing something right.

    This was my first stop for food. It's definitely a comfort food. I'd gladly come back!! Not only for the food, but for the wonderful customer service. I felt welcomed and cared for and I truly appreciate that. I see why they've been open for almost 80 years!!! I'm excited to come back for that bbq stick. So delicious! The menu isn't terribly extensive, but it's perfect. The whole process is quick and easy.

    This place is the spot for saimin, hands down, no contest. Every time I'm on the mainland hunting for good ramen, this is what I'm craving but can never find. Too bad they don't have a location up there they'd absolutely kill it in the winter. This is one of the last true old school saimin spots standing and has been a cornerstone of the Kalihi food scene for generations. There aren't many places I actually remember eating at as a little kid, but this is one of them. And honestly it hasn't changed in decades, and that's a good thing. Still the same layout, same menu on the wall, still only about eight tables and five parking spots, and the aunties working here? Still rocking those warm smiles while making sure tables turn over fast. The saimin? Still legendary. The noodles have that perfect chewiness, the broth and diced char siu are magic, and the beef sticks? They got better over time and thicker....just tender, flavorful beef with zero fat nonsense. But this is one of those places where the saimin is best eaten fresh at the table. Something about the steam, freshness of the noodles, and the broth just hits different when you're sitting there. Pro tip - go past lunch (2-3 pm) or early because parking is a battle (with only five spots) and seating is super limited. But it's worth the effort. My husband declared his won ton min the best ever, and honestly, I can't argue with him. And let's talk price, $8 for a large saimin? In this economy with this inflation? Seems like a steal. I'm just grateful this place has survived until now, serving up the same Saimin I grew up on.

    Palace Saimin...old school local family restaurant didn't disappoint. Ordered the combination, which was the udon/saimin/and won ton min. Noodles were perfect and chewy, and dashi was oishi and came out piping hot. Saidon (saimin/udon) was equally oishi. BBQ sticks were good. Wish they were a little more marinated with a stronger teriyaki taste, but enjoyed it. Server...I think owners daughter, was so friendly and nice. Highly recommend, and definitely love supporting local. *Small parking lot, but perfect timing, and found a space.

    Palace Saimin Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Palace Saimin

    What menu options are gluten/dairy free?

    None at this time

    Is there MSG used in the food?

    Not sure if it was MSG, but there is definitely a sweet taste with their barbecue sticks. As per the noodles, I didn't notice a strong flavor profile and they even recommend adding spicy mustard to bump up the flavor.

    Do they offer dine in now?

    Yes!!

    Does the broth contain shrimp or fish?

    Yes

    Is there street parking?

    Very little street parking. At night some customers park across the street at the post office. We have a small private lot with 7 spaces.

    Any options for someone who is vegan/ vegetarian or pescatarian?

    You can order the Saimin or Udon without the won ton and tell them to leave out the char siu too.

    As part of our recent vacation to Hawai'i, we stopped by Helena's Hawaiian Food to get a taste of…read moretraditional, authentic Hawaiian cuisine. Parking was scarce, but we managed to find a spot nearby in the neighborhood. It was a Saturday around lunchtime, and we were able to be seated immediately. We didn't really know what we were doing with the menu, so our server ordered whatever she thought we would like. She did a great job. We got the Pipikaula short ribs, kalua pig, lomi lomi salmon, poi, mac salad, and fried butterfish collar.  Everything was so good! My favorite two items were the short ribs and the butterfish collar. The short ribs were so meaty with a nice firm texture and had a yummy sweet marinade. The fried butterfish collar was crispy and dripping with buttery goodness.  Trying poi for the first time was such an interesting experience as well. I had always wondered what it tasted like. I had always thought it was going to be like a sweet taro paste dessert, but it's actually more like a starch and serves the same role as rice! Its neutral flavor allows you to pair it with your proteins. It adds a bit of texture and helps you feel full. I was really grateful for finally getting to try it and loved learning something new! I had a great time at Helena's. The food was delicious, and I got to learn more about traditional Hawaiian cuisine. I totally recommend it. Great vibes.

    Best place for authentic Hawaiian food for sure. Great service, even if they get tired of repeating…read morethemselves and could write it out, I really appreciate them explaining to newcomers every time what to eat and how to eat it to get that authentic experience. We went with what's recommended for first timers - laulau pork, you eat the leaves everything and it's filling and delicious - short ribs, some might say it's overcooked but I think it's just a different way of cooking and eating it, the pieces were thick and high quality, comes with 4 - Loki salmon, it's cured and this reminds me of ceviche or pico de gallo and salmon, it was flavorful, juicy and refreshing - comes with onions and salt to add to the complexity of the flavors - we ate it with poi, which they use as the starch to replace the rice. It's made of taro, I say give it a try for that unique and authentic experience - coconut jelly was yummy They accept cash and card Limited parking in the front, come in right before 5:30 on a weekday to beat the crowd Small family business vibes The experience lives up to the hype!

The staff was super nice about it and was able to accommodate us, with only a small request that we be out by 8pm since there was another big party with a reservation coming in. Absolutely reasonable. They sat us right away at three large tables, which gave us plenty of space for food and didn't force us to sit super close together. Menus, waters, plates, napkins, and forks were all brought out immediately, and our waiter was quick to take our order. We started with the prix fixe menu for 8-10 guests and were going to add other items à la carte, but a handful of our group accidentally went to the other Side Street location (make sure your group is all on the same page), so what we ordered ended up being more than enough. We left stuffed and with 5 boxes of food still. Edamame was nice and steamy, and large enough to easily pop the beans out with your mouth. Wish there was a bit more salt though. The farmer's salad had everything going on from citrusy to salty to crispy. Avocado had a little bit of oxidation but the capers, dressing and potato curls provided plenty of reasons to overlook it. The fried rice came in a hefty portion, with sizable pieces of bacon and sausage. The chicken I didn't realize was boneless based on the shape of the deep fry, but it was nice to freely bite into it without worrying about hitting anything with my teeth. Probably a bit too much on fried bits but still good. Pork chops had a better meat to crisp ratio in my opinion, as well as juiciness. They even came with ketchup on the side, which I love as a pairing but don't see much of at restaurants. My favorite meat item was definitely the sizzling boneless kalbi. The presentation on the sizzling plate with a side of kimchi was spectacular, and the meat was full of flavor. We also ordered yakisoba, which wasn't part of the prix fixe. Tasted good but nothing past standard expectations. We let the waiter know we had a 30th birthday at the table, and they brought a couple scoops of vanilla ice cream with a candle, and did a decent job getting the whole room to participate in the singing. It could also be the type of crowd this place attracts, since it seemed that everyone was so friendly and approachable. Thanks to the quick and consistent service, we were out in a little over an hour with no complaints.

The salmon belly is cut into bite-sized pieces so I didn't have to worry about using a knife to cut it. I usually try salmon belly where it is usually seasoned lightly to bring out the natural flavor of the salmon, but Guava Smoked's salmon belly is just grilled in a way that makes the salmon sweet/crispy and still get traces of the salmon taste as well. It's definitely not your traditional Japanese-style way of cooking salmon belly but really just their own. I'd go back and get this again. Another thing too. I'd get this with beer. This would hit very hard with alcohol but because I don't drink I need a kombucha. The grilled salmon belly would go perfect with it. Cheers!

There is a dedicated parking lot behind the restaurant that is shared with the other businesses in the same building. When I walked into the restaurant at about 1pm on a Wednesday, I was surprised to find it almost empty. It's a pretty large space, so the lack of patrons was rather glaring. There was one person sitting at the counter facing the kitchen and one employee working. This was my very first visit to Guava Smoked so I asked the person at the counter what he recommends. He said the two most popular meats are the kalbi and the spicy pork. "Perfect!" I thought, because those were the two options I was eyeing. Unfortunately, they were out of kalbi that day. Bummer... Nothing else on the menu caught my eye, so I ordered a smoked spicy pork plate to go. The spicy pork was good. Did it blow my mind? I wouldn't say it did. But it was satisfying enough. Honestly, I really wish they had kalbi available when I went. Hopefully next time I stop in they will.

    3.5 stars We wanted…read moreto try authentic Hawaiian food and came across this spot. The owner was very friendly and took the time to recommend dishes for us, including the laulau and lechon kawali. We also ordered the BBQ short ribs. Overall, it was a good experience trying Hawaiian food, but it's just not really our type of cuisine. The laulau was quite dry, and the preparation felt more like meat that had been boiled or cooked in liquid, which isn't something I usually enjoy. The lechon kawali had a crispy pork belly texture, topped with something similar to a salsa, but it didn't suit our taste either. Unfortunately, the cabbage served with it also had some black spots, which was off-putting. The BBQ short ribs were the highlight of the meal and the dish we enjoyed the most. We appreciate the experience and the hospitality, but the flavors just didn't quite match our personal preferences.

    1. The hours posted on Yelp was incorrect. They open from 12:00 pm…read more A group of us ordered food the night before for pickup at 12:30pm, on Thursday. Then someone wanted to change from rice to poi. I tried many times and no one answered. Their voice mailbox was full. We e ended going there to make the change. He gentleman looked like he was working be himself. We bads to wait almost a half hour for him to finish the order. 2. Price - the prices were higher than expected. All the plates were $26.00 and up. 3. Food - The poi was very tasty and fresh, although a bit watery. The lau lau had a lot of lean pork filling, not a lot of leaves. The long rice didn't have much chicken and was a bit watery too. We enjoyed the sweet potato. There was also lomi salmon, haupia onion and chili pepper water. 4. As mentioned before there isn't much parking. The restaurant wasn't busy when we got there. Overall the food and service was OK. The price was a bit high.
