I wanted some spam musubi. This place has multiple options for spam musubi, and I ordered 2 different types (katsu and original) but received spicy, regular, and katsu. The regular spam musubi and the spicy spam musubi were well seasoned. I liked the spicy spam. The katsu was okay, but I'd recommend sticking with the original. I also snagged some malasadas that they had for sale that day. I regretted buying them almost immediately because they didn't look like they would be fresh, but they tasted awesome! Very dense, very tasty, a little on the oily side. They reminded me of elephant ears from the fair. Prices are affordable.

Stopped by Saiman Says for a quick bite, and overall, it was a solid experience. I tried the mochiko chicken and garlic chicken. The mochiko was decent, though nothing that stood out too much. As for the garlic chicken, I appreciated that it wasn't overly sweet (a big plus), but I wish it had more bold, garlicky flavor. The spot seems like a classic mom-and-pop shop with a laid-back vibe, which I love supporting. While it didn't completely wow me, the food was decent, and I'd definitely give it another shot to try some other items on the menu. Hopefully next time I can find something that has a tad bit more flavor.

Location is tucked away but absolutely worth the visit. Super friendly staff who helped explain some of the dishes to me when ordering. While the dinning area is a little small I always just take my food to go. The mocoloco is absolutely amazing and the spam musubi is a must grab everytime. I've yet to have anything bad there having visited a few times now. Lots of great drinks and the menu is vast with tons of options and authentic great Hawaiian food. Absolutely worth the visit.

Delicious food and service was good. Very friendly and there were a couple of tables available for dine in. Pretty small space so don't expect a ton of tables. They do get a lot of to go orders which is usually a great sign of delicious food.

We were too hungry to take pics of all our food but all I can say is this place makes the best loco Moco and Mac salad and mochiko chicken I ever had in a long time coming from living in Hawaii all my life to moving to the mainland It's hard to find food that's close to how Hawaii makes them this place is the bomb you have to eat here if you miss Hawaii local grinds but you live in the mainland

Have been to the Kent location with my brother and dad years ago. When brother told me they were in Renton now and they had been to make sure and check them out. My sister in law is from Hawaii so I trust her judgment on Hawaiian places. Her favorite dish is the Garlic Chicken which is their mochiko chicken but amped up. Was tasty with chopped bits of jalapeños. Chicken was tender inside and crispy outside. Dad got the katsu curry chicken was also cooked perfectly. Each came with a generous scoop of rice and mac salad. I'm not usually a fan of mac salads but theirs had great flavor with the added tuna. Friendly staff, not a large space but welcoming. It was nice to see they had a steady stream of customers dining in and for take out around 1:30 on a Saturday. They're not open on Sundays just an fyi it's why it took me so long to give them a try. Located amongst a bunch of businesses can almost be easily overlooked if you don't they're there but parking easily available. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu. They have another restaurant as will inside that I'd like to try some items off of as well.

First time trying their food. It was so good. Not usually a fan of macaroni salad but theirs hit the spot. Tried their mochiko chicken and Teri beef also the katsu misubi. It was all great. Def coming back and try their other food .

Tucked away in a Renton office complex is a tiny slice of home for local transplants from Hawaii. It's much smaller than their old location but the food is just as good as before. I ordered a spam musubi and combo plate lunch with kalua pig and cabbage/mochiko chicken. I LOVE the mochiko chicken here. Super crispy bites and has the most delicious slight sweet umami flavor. There was more than what they gave in the pic but I started eating before taking a pic cus I was too hungry. The kalua pig and cabbage here is very good to me also. I will say it's got more pepper than any other kalua pig I've had anywhere. I still enjoyed it but was something unique about their pork. For the price of this a musubi and water it's a really good deal for the cost. Friendly service from the aunty at the front and the food comes out fairly quick!

Attention oxtail lovers! The oxtail saimin here is legit. It's got the taste of Hawaii saimin in it and I was very impressed. They have a huge menu of Hawaii food favorites like lau lau, Kalua pig, mochiko chicken, garlic chicken. They have breakfast food. Imua breakfast! They had some malasadas too. Very simple appearing inside but it's got the ono grindz.

Awesome Saimin and all Hawaiian dishes they offers!! We've been customer for over 20 years. Our favorite dishes are : Chicken Curry rice Curry Saimin Spam Masubi Mochiko chicken Lau Lau Kalua Pork Katsu and rice Shoyu Chicken All the Saimin bowls are really good!!
