The combo meal is my go-to choice for this place. Yakitori chicken , shrimp omelette , all fried saimin. So good!

Kaika Jenkins

Everything is good. Yummy ????. Monday has the special stuff chicken ????????????????. Try the banana cream pie and fried ice cream ????????????????

Kimi Takazawa

I know it says "saimin" in it's name but their Oxtail Soup is one of the best! Dessert , try the giant 50s style root beer float !

Nathan Kam

If you like your tempura batter thick and oily, you'll love the tempura here! Not a favorite of mine. But saimin, teri pork and cone sushi rock!

Rory K

One soda/iced tea refill only, but you can get it to go.

Ronnice Mug

Free wifi from next door Party City . Their signal is strong in Tanaka.

Tanaka Special. Awesome.

Go during off hours (e.g. 2pm) for parking and short wait-times.

Lynnale Tuquero

Service us super slow!! Tempura was great and so were the noodles . Saimin broth not that great, use a lot of shoyu n hot mustard .

Ƙҽ ♥️

Dont get the Saimin????????! It smells like a bowl of puppy dog???????? smfh

Ryan Araki

Expensive for saimin stuff, good, lots of space and parking .

Tyron Hamamoto

service is good but the food in general is bad. worst yet this is coming from someone that will eat pretty much anything. i once ordered the oyako don and it had so much green onion on it that i could

Yongchae Song

I read that the service was bad but I didn't experience any of that. Food came out fast and the waitress checked up on me several times. Maybe I'm too picky.

Toropoki

This is the sister of the owners of Boulevard Saimin. They split up.

If you're paying by credit card, they don't take American Express. Visa and MasterCard work though.

TeenaMarie Ferreira

Saimin wasnt that great

Staci Turner

Fried ice cream is the bombdiggity!

Miss Riley

Not worth it. Go anywhere else but here. Saimin tasted like instant noodle , and the ramen burger was oily and not anything special.

Allan Shih

there are better options. This place was pretty bad. It looks like a decent spot and I had no problems with service but the saimin, tempura , and even the pie was pretty bad.

Sheldon Yoneda

Parking is a nightmare. Be ready to drive in circles until a stall opens.

Amy Trilles

if your server is Rowena be prepared to have bad service....sitting on table 9. she takes forever just to get your order and isn't apologetic at all. no tip for her!

Tyron Hamamoto

they treat workers unequally and like dirt. soesnt help that the food is lousy

Tyron Hamamoto

avoid the saimin its pretty bad. stick to desserts or breakfast items

France Umetsu

Its better than boulevards ....

Sunshine 808

Food was delicious but the service was way too slow.

Dwayne Acob

Bleh!

@JaymesSong
