Top 5 Saimin on Oʻahu

  1. 1

    Shige's Saimin Stand

    Wahiawā

    Frolic readers' #1 — the Wahiawā strip-mall stand with housemade noodles, pale and slightly eggy, and a clean broth that edited out everything but what matters.

  2. 2

    Palace Saimin

    Kalihi

    Frolic readers' #2 (25.1%) and the magazine's editorial #1 — a 75-year Kalihi counter with hand-wrapped wonton and the most balanced broth on the island.

  3. 3

    Shiro's Saimin Haven

    Waimalu

    Frolic readers' #3 (17.1%) — nearly 60 saimin variations since 1969, from the shrimp-and-pork-adobo bowl to the 10-garnish Dodonpa.

  4. 4

    Tanaka Saimin

    Iwilei

    Frolic readers' #4 (7.3%) — the newest of the top five, run by descendants of the shuttered Dillingham/Boulevard saimin lineage.

  5. 5

    Sekiya's Restaurant & Delicatessen

    Kaimukī

    Frolic readers' #5 (6%) and the magazine's editorial #3 — a 1935 Kaimukī family stalwart with the thickest, firmest noodles and a shrimp-forward broth.
