We used to live in Hilo and this was always our favorite place to eat. When we come back to visit it is our first stop when we get off the plane!!…

This ‘noodle shop’ ran out of udon & curly ramen. The chicken was tough and soup base of the Saimin special was so salty I couldn’t finish. Disappointed this was recommended by so many.
The ocean came in a little too far.. I had the saimin special and was sorely dissapointed. It was one of the saltiest dishes I ever had (almost like sea water). The noodles had a floury aftertaste in your mouth. I tried the mochi loaf and have to say this was incredible?I’m just wondering if the other dishes were as salty.
Nori’s Saimin is BOMB. I Absolutely LOVE Nori’s there known for there Saimin and i Love there Big Sea food plate its a huge Plate i think its like for 2 ppl it has fish like 3 different flavors teri,breaded and grilled ,teri shrimp,mac salad breaded calamari steaks green salad UMMMMMM so goood i love it OH and My husband loves there poke fried rice every time we wanna go out we think of where to go and we always end up at Nori’s Love it
Worst Saimin Ever!. I had Saimin at Nori’s today, it was the worst Saimin I have ever had. The supposed Saimin tasted just like Top Ramen; you know the dry package stuff you can get for 19 cents at the grocery store. The noodles looked exactly like Top Ramen as well. It was so salty that I could only eat a few spoonfuls before pushing it aside. There were two pieces of pork in the soup that tasted old as well. I have had Saimin at many different places over the years but this one wins the prize for worst ever. I don’t even know why they call it Saimin.My girlfriend had the Butterfish, it smelled so fishy that I had to back away from the table because the smell came all the way across the table and disgusted my nose. She ended up having stomach problems after we left. A lot of locals eat here, I have no idea why based on two awful meals at one sitting.
Nice little secret. It’s a little hard to find (it’s across the street from BJ Penn’s gym) but worth the search. The saimin is a tasty bowl of comfort food. The mac salad is really good! Big portions- for us at least. There’s usually a wait so don’t go super hungry. Love the chocolate mochi cookies but don’t recommend it to bring back for gifts- they don’t travel well- I had chocolate mochi CRUMBS when I got back to Honolulu! 🙁
This is the best restaurant in Hilo. Get the udon with dumpling or the char siu chicken with fried rice. This is one restaurant where you get a Hawaii-size portion but with the absolute best homemade quality.
A regular hangout! The food is onolicious n affordable! The owner Beth Ann is such a hard worker! The food is great, staff is ohana! A must go when u come to Hilo!
