The combo meal is my go-to choice for this place. Yakitori chicken , shrimp omelette , all fried saimin. So good!
Everything is good. Yummy ????. Monday has the special stuff chicken ????????????????. Try the banana cream pie and fried ice cream ????????????????
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 !
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!
One soda/iced tea refill only, but you can get it to go.
Free wifi from next door Party City . Their signal is strong in Tanaka.
Fresh pacific blue marlin - baked fresh mushroom tomatoes in basil cream sauce
portuguese 3 egg omelet with brown rice and black coffee ... great way to start the day.
Super good service and the food was really good!!!:)
Entrance is off Alakawa Street, not Nimitz Highway.
Try the new stuffed baked chicken special on Monday's!! It's Ono!!!!
Great prices. Nice local food.
Nicest servers. Their fried shoyu chicken is taaa die for :9
Try the Oxtail Stew Noodle Soup - Hits the spot!
Try the Saimin burger !
The chefs salad with tuna is really yummy.
Basically boulevard saimin in a nicer, bigger building! And with desserts ! B
Try the garlic steak , it's awesome! :)
For a Saimin joint, they have good burgers !
kim chi saimin wasnt spicy at all they just threw the kim chi in the shrimp flavor broth. not very found of their saimin at all.
Usually crowded after 7pm. =)
Tanaka Special. Awesome.
Go during off hours (e.g. 2pm) for parking and short wait-times.
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 .
Dont get the Saimin????????! It smells like a bowl of puppy dog???????? smfh
Expensive for saimin stuff, good, lots of space and parking .
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
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.
This is the sister of the owners of Boulevard Saimin. They split up.

Saimin wasnt that great
Fried ice cream is the bombdiggity!
Not worth it. Go anywhere else but here. Saimin tasted like instant noodle , and the ramen burger was oily and not anything special.
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.
Parking is a nightmare. Be ready to drive in circles until a stall opens.
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!
they treat workers unequally and like dirt. soesnt help that the food is lousy
avoid the saimin its pretty bad. stick to desserts or breakfast items
Its better than boulevards ....
Food was delicious but the service was way too slow.
Bleh!
not a fan of the broth
日本語メニュー がないですが、基本は日本食です。おそば とサイメンのお店で広いです,
Local favorite. Saimin after 12pm is more flavorful!!! Has tempura anyone!? - DIÉR
The Godzilla roll is my favorite sushi, and i always get the miso butterfish. Unfortunately they have become much more pricey /: - Jenny Ching
Add a salad to your meal. Their dressing is delicious. - Yongchae Song
Looking for color coordinated party supplies (plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, etc.) then this is place to go. They have every color of the rainbow plus pink, silver, gold, and black. - Cindy Paliracio
Mac and Cheese is such a great side! Perfect cheese to noodle ratio. - NLN MPRN
Grab the roasted chicken and lie it down on some pre made spinach salad and you got yourself fine dining quality items. Perfect for a high quality cheap dinner. Serves about 4 - Kekiai Cashman-fernandez
