Shige's Saimin Stand

North Shore & Central O‘ahu


Shige's may not look like much from the outside, but locals swear that these are the best saimin noodles around. Inspired by Chinese chow mein, Japanese ramen and Filipino pancit, saimin is a noodle-soup dish that was developed by immigrant groups in Hawaii. It became popular during the plantation era. Shige's barbecue cheeseburger is also a winner.
