Absolutely delicious food! The staff was deeply invested in my trying food that I would like and guiding me through a menu of food I wasn’t familiar with. Everything was as delicious as promised. I’ll be back!

We stopped here in a whim and are so happy we did. Quiet unassuming place in Renton with some of the best pacific island food I’ve had! We will definitely be returning. The fiesta plate was enough for two!

OMG Loved the Ox Tail Saimin from Saimin Says. My after bowl looks like bleached bones from Georgia O'Keefe painting because the meat slow cooked to perfection, just fell off the bone.

Oh man. This food was crazy good I had the Fiesta plate which is chamoru food. I chose the brisket and BBQ chicken. Both had a nice char, great flavor, and good portions. that orange chamoru rice is just different in the best way possible. so much flavor

Really great authentic Hawaiian food! The portions are generous and yummy. I like how in the mac salad they add some tuna - it gives it a different flavor. Everything was made fresh and it was all delicious. We ate here and then went to shop at Ikea. We also got some malasadas to go!

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!

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.

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.
