Saimin isn’t just a dish. It’s a Hawaii experience. It tends to taste
best in a hidden mom-and-pop shop, where a toddler leans over his booth
to check out the next table’s soup bowl, and tutu teach their
grandchildren how to use their chopsticks properly. The old school
saimin shops seem to exist solely for the community, and with each
passing generation, it's like nothing has changed. You’re sitting in the
same place it was decades ago. As you sip the hot broth straight from
the bowl, it warms your hands, belly and heart.
Unfortunately, many favorite local haunts are disappearing, so we did a
round-up of our favorite historic saimin shops on Oahu for those
seeking a taste of old Hawaii.
