Saimin Says -Food CA (Near Renton)

2 /5 Conrad Ayoso: Oh, what a disappointment. The last time Ive been to Saimin Says was when Ted and Collen owned it and in the Kent location by Petes BBQ. Im going to assume the other food is good based on the reviews. However, I didnt and was disappointed in the laulau plate with an extra laulau and side poke. The pork was bland and dry. I didnt like the texture and flavor of the kimchee. It was luke warm. The most disappointing was the poke. It was a Korean style with too much water/liquid. It was also luke warm. What a letdown. Ill stick to Kauai Family Kitchen and Green Valley for now.

5 /5 Leah Deering: A smaller space to seats 5 couples. You can get to go! Call in if you do that! Overall a nice space to sit down if you can steal a seat but people move in and out pretty quickly so if you want to sit just order (because everything comes to Togo anyways) and wait for a seat! The food was really good! For a good price! Customer service was amazing! We had to wait to order but she was so sweet and very quick to help!

4 /5 Pauline Nguyen: A really great find in the area! This feels like a hole in the wall shop that you want to tell your friends! Great food that takes you back to Hawaii with some plated meals! //CONTEXT// Came here for IKEA of course! Literally across the street so this is great if you’re hungry before or need fuel for after! //ENVIRONMENT// A true hole in the wall in a business like complex! Maybe parties of four could fit! Nothing fancy but it it’s low key which I like //FOOD// - Mochiko Chicken and Luaua Pork with rice and Mac salad: so good! The mochiko chicken was yummy! A bit on the smaller bite size pieces and could be a bit bigger but I also don’t like when the pieces are massive so it’s great for one person! Flavorful and crispy! Loved the pork as well - on the peppery side but was very moist! I loved the tuna Mac salad and I normally don’t like tuna Mac! It was soft and creamy and not fishy at all - Corn Cream Chicken Soup: so good! Perfect for the weather! Tasty soup with a coconut like flavor //SERVICE// - I didn’t interact with the lady much but she seemed friendly! Overall i would come back!

5 /5 Christopher Walker: 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 shes 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.

5 /5 Andi Kemp: Amazing food, perfectly seasoned. Friendly service felt like ohana (family). You ever try something and know immediately its a cut above, made by a very experienced cook or chef? Thats how this was. Reminded me of Pine Tree Cafe on the Big Island. I wish it was closer to home!
