Going up in Hawaii. I can remember running home from school, eating siamin and watching Cheeckers and Pogo.

Finally!! Thank Goodness! Why didn't I see this one before? Probably gonna take a little stroll down memory lane later today. Yum!!

I eat at Auntie's even though I live not so close. I live in Monterey Park but it's worth the drive. I love the roast pork and gravy the best. So good.

Bill and Lisa, we love you.

Love the saimin and beef teriyaki sticks.! Also, chicken katsu and beef teriyaki....enjoy it all actually!

YES!!!! Finally Gardena Bowl makes the big time on B&L's channel. I was a regular there in the early 90's and still make a stop each time I'm in SoCal. My grown kids love it too. That Portuguese sausage is da bes! Nothing has changed...not even the plates 🙂. Anyways, another great video. Thanks for all the local tips.

Worked at Zippys for 5 years, ate saimin everyday I worked! so yummy!

I luv how Bill has to taste the dashi first. That reminds me of my father who said the dashi had to be good. Heaven forbid that the dashi didn't taste right!

I owe the Gardena bowl to why I was born and for my family. My mom worked as a waitress because my great-grandpa was a cook, and grandma worked the register. On my Sicilian/Irish side, my nana worked in the bar and introduced my mom to my bio dad. I used to sleep on the barstools when she would open, and I would help serve water to tables when I wasn't running around and playing the arcade games.. My grandpa (adopted) was a longshoreman at the long beach docks, originally from Hawaii with no family here, and was a regular. When my babysitter would cancel, he asked my mom if she wanted help with me and my mom, being her, said sure, take him! We quickly adopted him into our family, and he took care of and raised me, my sister, and my brother. He was the most amazing man that ever was. Gardena bowl is an extraordinary place and not one to be missed.

Aunty Maile's is da bomb!

Almost licked the screen for that bite of Chantilly cake🤣😋🏝🌊🌞💃👍

You guys definitely deserve way more subscribers!!! You guys are by far my favorite KZfaq couple❤🥰 I love your channel so much!

I enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

Looks so good!

Thanks for the vid. Taking family there this week to check it out! Love ya guys!

I’ve been watching your KZfaq channel since quit long time but I just noticed I haven’t subscribed yet! So I did last night while watching your cruise carnival series. Thank you for sharing your channel and I love you guys big smiles and characters! Both of you!! And I just found out Bill’s mom is Japanese!! She is super cute on your BD week video. As I am Japanese who was living your area(OC tho!) since 1987 and moved to Seattle 2002, I love you guys and am always enjoying your Vlogs!!

Yummy!! Thanks for the good vibes!!👍😉

Another great review. Thanks Bill and Lisa.

Oops, haven't commented yet! Looks like another fabulous fun day for Bill n Lisa 1🥣🍜🍚🌼🌞🌡☕☕☕👍🤭👋💚💥💫🕶

Hot noodles slurp slurp al dente. I am living vicariously through you two

That is So Awesome that You Mention The Aloha Specialties at The Cal

Hawaiian in the bowling alley. We have Thai in ours. Bowling then eating. Heaven!!!

Awesome! You’re hitting the South Bay favorites!

Now, I have to plan on a trip to So. Cal from San Jose soon! You got me today! Thanks for the memories. It brought back a lot of memories and I still remember the original King’s Bakery on King Street/McCully Blvd. when they had the shop in Honolulu. - longtime ago! Best wishes and Kung Hee Faat Choy!🧧

Happy 2022! You all have an amazing Friday! Cheers.

SUCH AN EXCITING VIDEO TO WATCH AND THE FOOD LOOKS SO GOOD. THANKS FOR SHARING, I KNOW YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SOME AMAZING VIDEOS.

Very cool🍀👍😻. Such good comfort food. Noodles are my favorite. I said California casino, the minute I noticed this. I need to try the oxtail soup too at California. Lol. Now I’m hungry. Have a sunny day. 🌺🌞

We are so happy for you both!

Everything looks so yummy! Lisa - I love soy sauce mixed with Chinese hot mustard, especially when I go eat dim sum!

I’d never heard of saimin until today. It looks delicious! I hope you are feeling okay, Lisa!

Awesome vlog as usual Bill and Lisa, loving those bowls of 🍝!

Hau'oli Makahiki Hou, Bill & Lisa. All my favorite restaurants everytime we go back to Gardena🤙🏽 Especially Gardena Bowl! I always have to order Saimin and Tempura!!!! Yum yum yum!😋 Get well soon, Lisa🙏

Nice video. Thanks and take care.

Thank you for educating me!!!

Your description of saimin and ramen was spot on! They all looked legit and yummy!

Such delicious Saimin! All of the restaurants were great! Safe Travels!

😂Bill has 🧈 butterfingers!🤣he drops the butter🤣🤣!!

Everything look just wonderful. Hopefully some day we'll get to Cali in the near future. Thanx. Karen

I'm surprised and impressed that King's makes their own noodles. One of the best noodle makers around has a factory in the LA area, Sun Noodle. They make all kinds of noodles, including ramen, saimin, soba, and Okinawan soba noodles. They also supply many, many ramen shops all across the U.S. But the really good thing is that some Asian markets also carry their noodles.

I love saimin and fried min. It has a clean taste, so perfect for when you don't feel too good.

Btw love Liliha bakery so amazing 🤩

I love your “Hawaiian” feasting video. The Saimin looks just like Zippy’s! Aloha🌸

Never has this before. So gonna try it next! 👍🏽🤗

Looks 😋 Feel better Lisa!

Yummmm. I’ve been to all the places you went to. So good!

Everything looked delicious. I love your channel.

Never,tasted any of these dishes- but I'm going to🍛 🥰🌶️🤤🍜😋🍚!

Hi Bill and Lisa. The food looks amazing. I will have to try it. Have fun, stay safe and stay Blessed.

I've never thought to mix the hot mustard and soy sauce. I need to give it a shot. Great video as always. You guys rock!

Love to watch you guys when we eat dinner! Lisa, hope your allergies don't affect you too much. I hope you are ok! Stay safe :)

Oh my goodness, all the saimin looked so tasty! 🤩

I went to the Gardena Bowl and try the Won ton Saimin.today . It was so good. Thank you . There menu looks so good .

I will go there soon, the food looks delicious. 💝 ☺

That cake looks amazing!!!

I'm going to try it out. I always the Garlic chicken, chicken teriyaki and Spam masubi. Gardena Bowl 👍

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness!!! I used to hang out and eat at Gardena Bowl, back in the day. Thank you for the memories! 🥰 I have yet to try Auntie Maile’s. Both of your dishes that you had, looked delicious! I will definitely try it out soon. Of course, one can never go wrong with King’s Hawaiian. I love their oxtail soup with gohan. Thank you both for sharing all of these amazing places! I private messaged you both on Instagram, about the Mazesoba dish at Dashiwa Ramen in Arcadia. It’s a soupless ramen dish with up to 11 ingredients. The noodles are mochi mochi, and the toppings are charsiu, spicy minced pork, nori, green onion, garlic, onsen egg, katsuobushi, with chili oil and vinegar on the side. It’s truly an explosion of umami flavor. I truly believe that you would both LOVE this dish. I find myself craving it…. I truly hope you can try it one day. Thank you again for your amazing food adventures! ♥️

Yeahhhhh!!!! I got my shout out!! Thank you Bill and Lisa!!! Lmaooooo 🤣🤣🤣

Hamburger and saimin is real old style. Used to have that as a kid in elementary school.

Gbowl, Aunty Mailes, and Kings...that's a Thursday for us living in Gardena lol

Samoans calls it Saimigi... love it guys mahalo..

Another great video!! I used to bowl there in the 80s in a league and ate at gardena bowl every friday!! They had the best turkey club but the fried Saimin looks really good!!! Been so long since I ate there!!! Wasnt sure if the restaurant was still there. Thanks for doing this video!!!! ❤

Thanks for sharing your Saimin Day celebration meals! 🍜🍜🍜 And belated congrats on hitting 40K! Looks like reach 50K won’t take long!

What a fun day!! Simem hopping is much better than bar hopping!! Lol!!

Noodles and rice is nice.👍👍

Thanks for lifting my spirits while I lie in bed with some nasty Covid.

For those who want to try "chinese mustard" it is just prepared dried colman's mustard powder you can purchase in most grocery stores.

I learn so many new foods ( at least to me) from you two ... Thanks ! I have tried soy and wasabi but now I need to try the Chinese mustard and soy ! Take care !!!

HAPPY SAIMIN DAY!

Now I want some saimin! FYI, in Hawaii, we say sai-min not sai-mean. 😊

Fish cake has a suttle seafood taste, so delicious especially in fried siamin and hot siamin soup, adds a nice touch to the dishes. :)

Thanks For sharing guys watching from Canada 🇨🇦 here

Looks so Ono! Legit!

Those bowls looks yummy😋

Gardena Bowl and Auntie Maile’s is definitely the top 2 Hawaiian food spots in Gardena. Bob’s used to be good however they went downhill and closed I believe. Love the portion at Auntie Maile’s.

Great to know about Aloha specialty😃... Great tip...never had a saimin before and can't wait to try 😋 (looks like Hawaii isn't possible for Canadians, but Vegas is a great alternative)

Food looks good. Appreciate the pro tip about Aloha Specialties Restaurant at the Cal. I've had the oxtail soup at the Cal several times and its awfully good with plenty of ginger and that green hot sauce. 😁

I love the way they prepare the eggs because I’m allergic to eggs and they can just omit them when they’re in strips like that…as opposed to swirling eggs in a bowl of soup where they can’t be avoided. I hope your allergies ease up, Lisa!

Great video! Hope you are doing good Lisa you sound a bit sick, take care!

Hi Bill & Lisa, I found your channel through Tim Lee’s vids, he gave shout-outs to you guys so I had to check out your channel and I’ve subscribed. Keep up the the great work showing us the great local spots (I’m in SoCal too) as well as outside of CA and international.

Need to go to Maile’s and Gardena Bowl next time I visit Torrance. As a sidenote, back in the day, saimin (pronounce min like win) was usually eaten with a couple of bbq meat sticks. That was onolicious! Some of the mom and pop stands still serve that. Saimin is typically a curlier noodle with either a fish or shrimp dashi. If there isn’t char siu available, you can always have thin strips of spam. 😜🤙🏽

The whole bowling alley aspect of this makes this extra cool/unique/interesting. My favorite local burger place (Boba Burger) is also in a bowling alley. They were able to survive Covid lockdowns bc they were in a bowling alley, thus their overhead costs were minimal.

It all looks so good, but Kings Hawaiin is on my list for sure. Zippy's is my favorite local HI grindz. I like the one just outside Waikiki near the golf course. You got a very enthusiastic mention during Pompsie's Live stream from Las Vegas last night 1/13. a lady was talking to Pompsie and Greta about how nice and approachable you both are. She went on and on about you both.

24:30 Aloha Specialties has outstanding Spam Musubi too!

Lisa, you sounded very congested. Hope everything is okay. I personally have had raging allergies these past couple months. Everything looked delicious as always.

Omg looks so good! Now I have to drive to California to get some! 😂🍜 Hope you feel better Lisa. ❤️

Great review guys! I’ve eaten at each place except for Kings Hawaiian. Only had a banana cream pie for my birthday 2 years ago and it was fantastic! Their bakery is dangerously delicious! Gardena Bowl is around the corner from where I live. Saimin is good but my go to is the Hawaiian Royal which is highly addictive!

Happy New Year to you both! When nothing else on the menu looks good, and anywhere offers saimin, then order saimin! Saimin and Ramen are so ONO!

Good Morning Bill & Lisa😍

Never heard of it. Would love to try. Tys

Hi Bill and Lisa always a pleasure looking at you guys thanks for sharing u guys make a great couple my name is Abigail watching from Trinidad u guys b safe

I live around the corner fr G bowl😊

You have to try Shiro’s in Waimalu, Oahu. They have the best saimin and cheeseburger combo!

Yeah I just asked you guys about this place! Lisa you sound like your getting a cold feel better if you are.

❤❤❤❤

20:25 - Bill has butter fingers. 😁

Lisa hope you feel better. That might not be allergies , get it checked. That’s how my Covid infection started “allergies” lasted all day. My body was craving salt then suddenly I didn’t taste a coke a drank. 😳Good thing you guys are vaccinated. 👍

Thank you for sharing your Saimin Day. They all looks amazing! Hope your allergies clear up Lisa. Safe travels to Atlanta! I'm supposed to go to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks too so maybe we'll bump into each other.
