The Definitive Ranking
The Best Saimin
on Oʻahu
Hawaiʻi's noodle soup — clear dashi broth, fish cake, char siu, green onion.
Saimin is Oʻahu's comfort food — the broth is dashi-based, the noodles are soft wheat, and a char siu slice and a half of fish cake are the floor. Shiro's Saimin Haven and Palace Saimin have been running the same recipe for decades.
