Mililani Restaurant

When I'm in the Mililani area and hungry for fried noodles, there's only one place that can satisfy my craving--Mililani Restaurant. Fried Saimin: For only 6.79, the plate was FULL of delicious fried saimin. Even DH commented that they really gave a lot. Of course I couldn't finish it.
