Saimin Says

You will be FULL after visiting. The food was overall quite good, we got the Kalua Moco, Garlic chicken and Chicken Katsu plate, and Hurricane(?) Fries. I'm a sucker for island eats and this hit the spot. The chicken plate could benefit from some sort of sauce, the fries and kalua moco (the over easy eggs were perfect) left me stuffed which ended up being leftovers for later in the night. Just be aware that this place is really small, only a few seats and tables, it seems like most folks order take out here. I'd also recommend bringing cash here.

I am in love with Hawaiian food here in the PNW. This little spot packs a big punch with all of the flavors and delicious food. I dove right in before I could take an og picture. I likely would have ordered a 2 meat plate but I thought doung the Bentonville box would be fun. The atmosphere was fine. It wasn't much to look at and I sat a little squenched near the front door. Hey ultimately I was happy they had indoor seating available. Easy place for pick up only. Worth going to, especially if you're visiting IKEA... It's a family owned small business which makes me feel better about my money spent.

A really great find in the area! This feels like a hole in the wall shop that you want to tell your friends! Great food that takes you back to Hawaii with some plated meals! //CONTEXT// Came here for IKEA of course! Literally across the street so this is great if you’re hungry before or need fuel for after! //ENVIRONMENT// A true hole in the wall in a business like complex! Maybe parties of four could fit! Nothing fancy but it it’s low key which I like //FOOD// - Mochiko Chicken and Luaua Pork with rice and Mac salad: so good! The mochiko chicken was yummy! A bit on the smaller bite size pieces and could be a bit bigger but I also don’t like when the pieces are massive so it’s great for one person! Flavorful and crispy! Loved the pork as well - on the peppery side but was very moist! I loved the tuna Mac salad and I normally don’t like tuna Mac! It was soft and creamy and not fishy at all - Corn Cream Chicken Soup: so good! Perfect for the weather! Tasty soup with a coconut like flavor //SERVICE// - I didn’t interact with the lady much but she seemed friendly! Overall i would come back!

First things first, my wife has been on a search for the best Mac salad in the greater Seattle area and says the one here is the best she's had so far. I agree. The menu is extensive, with something for everyone. I would happily return to try more. Everything I tasted was excellent. Service was quick. This is a no frills restaurant where the food comes in a take out container but it is absolutely delicious nonetheless.

Amazing food, perfectly seasoned. Friendly service felt like ohana (family). You ever try something and know immediately it's a cut above, made by a very experienced cook or chef? That's how this was. Reminded me of Pine Tree Cafe on the Big Island. I wish it was closer to home!

This place made me feel like I was back in Hawaii. Small place,huge aloha and the food is delicious! They have a huge menu and you can find all your favorites! I have been here several times, and this time I got a combo plate with kalbi ribs and teriyaki chicken and a few spam musubi for dinner. Everything I come in the vibe is warm and friendly. They have a keikei menu as well. If you have not been here yet, please come by and support this place!

Oh, what a disappointment. The last time I've been to Saimin Says was when Ted and Collen owned it and in the Kent location by Pete's BBQ. I'm going to assume the other food is good based on the reviews. However, I didn't and was disappointed in the laulau plate with an extra laulau and side poke. The pork was bland and dry. I didn't like the texture and flavor of the kimchee. It was luke warm. The most disappointing was the poke. It was a Korean style with too much water/liquid. It was also luke warm. What a letdown. I'll stick to Kauai Family Kitchen and Green Valley for now.
