Hamura Saimin

Quick with a local feel. Came here decades ago and it hasn't really changed. Got the standard saimen noodle with ham and also a Special Saimen. We both enjoyed them. I loved the fish cakes so others gave me their's. Also got a BBQ beef skewer. Pretty good but their specialty is definitely the noodle soup.

Must try local! What a wonderful homey place, incredibly flavorful noodles. We had the “Special Saimin” and the”Oxtail Saimin”the Special had a good mix of add ons and the Oxtail had an amazing broth. The bbq beef was jerky-ish but filled with flavor. Cash only tho!

We ordered 3 dishes Won Ton Mein, Shrimp Saimin, and a Special Saimin Medium (not pictured). The won tons are a bit under cooked where the dough is crimped together. All 3 dished were delicious. We will definitely visit again soon.

Google maps gave great directions to find this spot. We flew in from HNL and got in around 2030 hours so was looking for a quick spot to eat. Found this place was open until 2130 hours so quickly headed to it from the airport which was a 5min. drive. Parked in the slanted stalls outside of the restaurant and walked in using their ADA ramp leading towards the front near the register. When you walk through their screen door, right away I get mom and pop shop kine feels. Super laid back, local, NO a/c so when we came in at night, i'm assuming that was cool for what it usually can be. It's open air jealousy windows. You don't have to check in at front, you just find an open spot on their counters where small brown stools are provided for you to sit on. The counters have all the amenities ne

My honest opinion? I regretted I didn't have more time to go to this place for the second time or third time! If you're in Kauai and you love noodles in broth, this is a must-try place, that is frequently visited by the locals. Hamura Saimin has a long history of serving noodles since 1952! The noodles were good and prices were affordable. The chicken teriyaki is highly recommended. I also learned from a local (sitting across me) of mixing the soy sauce with mustard (similar like wasabi in soy sauce) as the dipping sauce. Yum!
