Saimin at Home
A special dish that can only be found in the Hawaiian Islands, is similar to ramen (call it a cousin of ramen? brother? sister? We’re all part of the same ohana!) traditionally made of wheat egg noodles served in a clear, light broth. Saimin was created in Hawaii during the plantation era when different immigrant cultures would gather to eat together. To many from the islands, having a bowl of saimin takes us back “home”.
Our founder, Hidehito Uki, never heard of Saimin until he moved to Hawaii. Falling in love with the taste and history of this simple bowl of noodle, Saimin soon became one of Sun Noodle’s staple items.

Back in the day, Saimin stands were common in and around Honolulu. Run by local mom & pop “hole-in-the-wall” shops, each had their own “secret recipe” and unique style of serving it. The Liliha area served as a concentration hub for these old school stands. Typically enjoyed with BBQ beef sticks, and even hamburgers and french fries, the saimin dish continues to be a standard for Hawai’i local comfort food.
