"They do one thing really, really well."
— Yelp Review
Founded by Charles and Aiko Hamura in a converted World War II Army barracks on Kress Street, Hamura Saimin Stand has been serving Kauai's most beloved noodles since 1952. Now run by granddaughter Lori Tanigawa and family, the secret-recipe broth and handmade noodles remain unchanged.

"This is a no nonsense local saimin joint in the heart of Lihue and exactly what we were craving. I appreciate the simplicity of dining at these precious cash only joints where they do one thing really, really well."

"The Lilikoi Chiffon pie was good. Unlike any pie you have tried. It's like eating a light cloud."

"I always look forward to having my saimin-fix at Hamura's. We were at another restaurant that had saimin on their menu, I asked if it was good and the waitress said 'it's not as good as Hamura's.'"
