Quote: We were offered access to a friend's timeshare on Kauai at the last minute and made a quick trip from Southern California. What a unplanned delight to be in Kauai again.

Hamura's Saimin Stand

Restaurant | "Lunch Like the Hawaiian's Do"

Quote:
This place came highly recommended and I'm glad we went here for lunch. The Saimen is like a soup choked full of favors and textures. Broth, noddles, pork, eggs, and vegetables all served up in a hardy bowl. The diner is locted in Lihue and the atmosphere reminds me of what an old diner in Kauai may have looked like.

The food here is great and the price is right!

The company and tour...Read More

This place is awesome at sunset! We heard about this place from a friend and we were not disappointed. They open the entire side of the restaurant at sunset so you can wander out onto the lawn that's on the beach, and watch the sun go down. What an experience, just like what you would see in the movies. The Hawaiian surfers paddling out into the surf standing up with the sun setting behind them, the warm ocean breeze blowing through your hair, and a cold drink in your hand. Definitely a great evening!The food is also very good and fresh. I would strongly recommend this place to anyone!. Tip: Reservations are tough to get. A local told me that you can get in without a reservation if to get ...Read More
