Cheap, fast, satisfying, and with super friendly sevice to boot. What's not to love? P.s . Everything is better with a healthy dose of spicy mustard 😋

This place is awesome. Amazing total local killer flavors. Staff is super nice. I went with a local they recognized him. I will forever have this place on my list of must eat here when here! 🙏🏾❤️💪🏾🏆

Mandatory clean comfort food on a rainy day. They have such a nice clear broth that is both salty and light. Ordered a very quick $8 small bowl of saimin, killed it, and left under 10 minutes.

I found this place through the 2021 Ilima Awards. It’s out of the way, but definitely worth the trip. I got a large curry saimin with wontons and a side of Mac salad. My party got the saimin, wonton mein, cheeseburger, and bbq stick. All of the food was superb and the portion sizes were large for their price. The burgers are a must have, the homemade patty was tender, flavorful, and just out of this world. The noodles were springy and held on to the curry. Overall, this place is amazing. Friendly staff and great service, tasty food with large portions, at a very affordable price! TLDR: Great service, fantastic food, large portions, affordable. Definitely worth going to!

Best saimin on the island hands down! Homemade noodles, great dashi. Teriyaki beef is delicious! You must try this place.

Love Shige’s! Been going there for years. Best fried saimin in town. Fresh homemade noodles that can’t be beat.

The best burger I’ve ever had. Their Saimin is also yummy, the handmade noodle is just OMG. All of employees are super kind and nice ppl. Definitely coming back when we visit O’ahu again.

This is the best Saimin ever!!! Noodles are bouncy and chewy - made fresh every morning. Broth has a lot of depth and it all goes so well with hot mustard and a cheeseburger. And the service is super friendly and kind. They offer lots of things on the menu, so I will be back for more!

I wanted to eat fried saimin and decided to go there. The restaurant was very busy with locals. Everyone ordered saimin and cheeseburger. We ordered saimin, fried saimin, wanton soup and locomoco. All were good but a bit too salty. The waiter and waitress were very kind and friendly.

The Best Saimin in Oahu. Their Teriyaki Burgers were incredible. Go here if you want to eat where the locals eat. Affordable and super friendly.

Shige’s is a must on the island of Oahu. The location is tucked away in the middle of a strip. Away from the bustling streets of Waikiki. We ordered the cheese burger, two saimins, and a bbq stick. Everything was phenomenal! The exact taste I remembered from 5 years ago. The patty of the burger melts in your mouth. I would have to say the patty itself is better than the in and outs of the west coat and the shake shacks of the east. Don’t let the Honolulu traffic waver you from coming to this spot. You’ll thank me later :) THIS PLACE IS A GEM! P.S. the hospitality was fire too 🔥

A delicious hole in the wall spot. Highly recommend! Prices, good and fair. No surprises. Location was a bit tricky for a tourist to find but it's well situated in the middle of the island if you're driving through to the North Shore or Honolulu on the other end. Service was super welcoming and helpful when telling us about their specialties. Atmosphere was clean and welcoming. Food, this was amazing! Great flavors and all around a big hit for us as we needed something simple and quick. Definitely worth a visit if you've never been and are passing through.

Relative to price, location, service, and food, it's a decent place for road trip road side quick lunch. It's a family operation from what I could see. It's a busy place around lunch time. I had soup noodles and the soup carries a strong pork essence that's unusual from typical USDA pork. The BBQ beef stick was probably one thing I could recommend. Staying with dry food here is probably best. The sandwiches looked good. Wonton is a no.

Great Saimin with homemade noodles. Ordered with bbq stick. Excellent and prompt service. There was a line outside. Wait was short. Very busy lot of take outs and this was around 2pm on a Tuesday.

This was an interesting experience, to say the least. The interior has a bit of a divey 1950's American diner feel. The owners make use of spaces in the dining area as storage for some of their supplies. No biggie though, we've seen plenty of that here in NY. This takes nothing away from the level of service, as the wait staff here were super friendly. Saimin has a good chewy bounce that's reminiscent of Japanese ramen, though with a curly and uneven texture, it gives off a different and satisfying mouth feel as you chew, and is great for picking up the soups and broths that it is served in. That said, the Miso Saimin and Vegetable Saimin had similar tasting broths, and both were satisfying, albeit light in flavor, bowls of noodles. The Fried Saimin, however, was very salty!! Perhaps I didn't order the right things? I should like to withhold judgement until I've tried all of the offerings (there's a whole burger patty menu that I've yet to try), but as it stands, the noodle dishes seemed only okay.

We always visit Shige’s when we swing through town. Even though there’s usually a line outside, it moves quickly and the food is well worth it. We order the saimin, but the skewers are lovely too. The small is a good size portion, but it’s so delicious I always regret not getting the large! Super friendly folks, handmade noodles, just try!

Super friendly staff helped us pick a few things off the menu. Everything was great (their Saimin is fantastic) and very reasonably priced. It was busy with takeout orders so obviously it's a favorite of locals too.

Not the best food I’ve had in a few years. Purchased loco moco, Wong ton soups, and other plates.

Two times here, both times have been a great experience. The teriyaki beef plate lunch is delicious, double cheeseburger is tasty, and the noodle soups are large and flavorful. Definitely not upscale, which is great because there's plenty of other options downtown to pay for atmosphere. What really shines here is the friendly service! Both times, the servers have been helpful and smiley 😊 Great service is getting harder and harder to find, so this makes Shige's Saimin an excellent choice for a relaxing meal!

Best place to always eat been coming here for years so family oriented and friendly you won’t regret eating here food is always delicious as well served and made fresh daily. Sorry for my pictures it was 9pm when I went to take out after a long day at da beach and was perfect. I just wish the prices was cheap like back in the day:(

Great saimin - I think it is homemade noodles, looks like okinawan style. Garnished with charsiu, ham, fried egg, kamaboko (fish cake), green onion! BBQ beef stick was tender and tasty! I’m looking forward to trying the Teri beef plate and other plate lunches. Service was very courteous and friendly. Very clean and comfortable diner style place in Wahiawa. Dine in or take out available.

Shige’s IS Wahiawa. You cannot visit Wahiawa and not get something to eat here. I could have done a review on this place a loooong time ago but i keep chowing down first before I remember to take pictures. I just can’t wait to dig in!!! Been eating here since 2001 and i eat pretty much the same thing. Either a BBQ cheeseburger with Fried Saimin or BBQ sticks with Fried Saimin. Always. The BBQ cheese burger is homemade, on a nice buttery bun with mayo and a sweet sauce. Comes with lettuce but i kicked mine out. To me, personally, The Best BBQ cheese burger on island. Its perfect in every way. Same with the fried Saimin. The Taste is spot on. Noodles are perfect. Best on island. My husband loves them too but also the homemade hamburger steak with onions, two scoops rice, mac salad and gravy ALL over. Great Family owned with friendly, hardworking staff too. Food is always hot, order has never been wrong. No mistakes EVER since 2001! This place is already super famous but if you haven’t been here yet, definitely stop by. You won’t be disappointed. Come support this long time iconic Wahiawa establishment.

Great service. They were very on top of everything and were so nice. We ordered a large won tun min with extra veggie and a BBQ burger deluxe and shared. It was more then enough. Greay place to pop in for some comfort food like saimin. Just a random fyi they don't have fries lol. I'll be back for sure if I'm in the area.

Customer service was excellent! Whenever wait staff passed by our table, they checked on us. Saimin and udon were delicious, but noodle portions weren’t much. I felt the noodle portions were more of an extra small in HI. Udon noodles did not seem like they were different from the saimin noodles. But we would definitely go back—but this time order a large!

An amazing must visit hole-in-the-wall restaurant! If you want authentic saimin this is the place. A small group of us came here after a long trip around the island and wanted some cheap quality food. The saimin noodles are made fresh every morning and you can tell! We got the regular saimin, curry wonton, fried saimin, and the beef sticks (pictured). You can also switch out the noodle types to wonton or udon, but the udon is not made fresh. I was expecting cheap tasting ramen-like broth, but I was wonderfully mistaken. All the dishes were amazing and light, not oily or heavy. We also loved our server. Sometimes local treasures like these discourage tourists, but our server was so kind! He explained the dishes to us and gave us some history on the place, obviously he was passionate about the restaurant which was great to see! 20/10 must recommend
