It's no secret that the no-frills Hamura Saimin is a must-stop for anyone wanting local comfort food on Kaua`i.
It's been decades since I went to eat at Hamura, and not much has changed. You eat at a shared counter with other guests, the menu is small, but focused, and the food is still good.

Oxtail Saimin |
The Oxtail Saimin is served Mondays and Fridays only. My friend said the oxtail was really delicious, but the noodles were overcooked.
I had the Won Ton Mein, which had a decent amount of Won Ton, although I thought the filling was a bit underseasoned. I enjoyed all the garnishes, which included green onions, ham, fish cake, and roast pork. The broth was really good.
If you have a room for dessert, you must try the signature Lilikoi Chiffon Pie. It was light, fluffy, and refreshing, which was welcoming on such a hot and humid Kaua`i day.

BBQ Chicken Stick |
The BBQ Chicken was tasty, although some parts a bit too chewy and dried out.

I thought the food was overall good - comforting and satisfying. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other places serving similar food.
