Hamura Saimin

"Saimin is a noodle soup unique to Hawai‘i and an essential part of the islands’ culture since saimin stands became commonplace in the 1930s. Honored by the James Beard Foundation as an American classic, Hamura, founded in 1951 by Aiko and Charlie Hamura, serves some of Hawai‘i’s most iconic bowls, including a popular version with the traditional Chinese-style noodles in a Japanese broth and brimming with handmade wontons, char siu pork, egg, and green onions. Inside the humble bungalow that’s been declared a state historic site, tourists and locals alike slurp at a U-shaped wood counter. A counter near the exit sells exquisite liliko‘i chiffon pie, along with manapua (pork-filled buns) and shave ice. —AH"

"Very local, funky. Poor service, shared tables. But they’re nice. Took it to go and ate overlooking the river. Order pie too. "

"if you’re craving noodles, consider Hamura Saimin. “This restaurant has been in business for 50-plus years, and anyone who is from Kauai frequents it,” says Native Hawaiian Joy Stedman, the senior business development executive at Timbers Kauai. “I recommend you pair their ‘extra-large special,’ which features cabbage, onions, and fishcake, with skewers of beef or chicken, and lilikoi pie for dessert.”"
