Lucas is the kid from the sandbox that would unite kids from the neighbourhood by sharing his Fruit Roll Up and Teriyaki sandwich amongst other things in his lunch pale.
Thank you for this video. I haven’t been to Sekiya’s since the 1980s. I recently saw this video and gave them a try last night. My Won Ton Min with Vegetables and BBQ Stick was wonderful. My family also liked the Tonkatsu and Teri-Cheeseburger. My wife could also get her favorite Chocolate Coke which is hard to come by nowadays. Definitely will go back more regularly.
I suddenly have the craving for pho, ramen and saimin all at the same time. XD Binge watching Dining on a Dime when sick at home with a cold is the worst.
Oh my gosh I haven't been to this place since I was a kid and could never remember the name every time I was back on Oahu. But I remember the fan logo! I'm so happy I found this video 4 years after it came out 😂
I used to eat there all the time when I was a kid. Kaimuki born and raised!! They got hit with a E.coli violation two separate times. Never been back since. I'm willing to go again if I had the time.
Our family would eat once a week at Sekiya's (my dad went to Kaimuki h.s.). My sis & I went to Sacred Hearts and we would stop after school for a snack. I am on the mainland now, but my family at home still eat there once a week. Damn, now I want local food!
how is this season 8 already? how much time passes between seasons? i swear i've not detected a break in between them. i thought it was all one series.
Eater no wonder. Thanks for the reply. I don't know why I hadn't processed how the seasons are divided by city. Love the show. That being said, eight cities already? Lol. Thanks again.
Super big props to Lucas for being able to keep a poker face while talking to someone with missing teeth. That's very hard for a lot of people to do without showing their discomfort.
How are you going to do an episode on Saimin and pronounce the word wrong, and you also should of went to Shige’s Saimin Stand, that place is really good as well.
Hey Lucas, don't say "state side" as Hawaii is the 50th state. :) Otherwise great review of Sekiyas! I hope you are able to go and try Champion Malasadas.
NO! WHY! I was just on Oahu for Winter Break... I really would've wanted to meet you Lucas. Anyway, enjoy the ono grindz and such. Make sure to grab some Leonards Malasadas, 7/11 teriyaki spam Musubi (it's 7/11 but don't judge), and plate lunch from Rainbow Drive In (gotta recommend the Loco Moco). Shootz.
Jennifer Ha, what a perfectly good reason to come visit our islands. We still have some old mom and pop saimin stands around, but it seems like the ramen shops are taking over the world. Eating at a old time saimin stand brings back memories of what we call "small kid time". If you ever come to Oahu, you have to eat at one of the old saimin stands to get a true feeling of what it was like back in the day.
@@jenniferha1890 you can try to make it? Im not sure how it good it would taste tho saimin is easy to make but like i am a local in hawaii so i really cant help you here you csn try to visit us tho
great choice of local dishes from HI.. but next time you have a craving for those same dishes, and have the time to drive around.. heres the upgraded list for those same dishes. not promoting restaurants or anything.. just giving you the real inside scoops.. lol.. even alot of local people here dont know. ..guess you could call some of these places the real secret spots.. i pretty much know all of the best spots for whatever local HI dish desired.. comment n ill let you know. saimin - may be hard to believe but zippys zip min or won ton min is one of the top saimin in HI.. as for ramen.. theres alot of authentic / semi.. lol ..around the island. -FRIED NOODLES / SAIMIN hawaiian style.. SATOS in WAIPAHU.. one of the best.. or LEEWARD DRIVE INN down the road. ..also HOUSE of DRAGON in PEARL CITY.. dry gun lo mien but made HI style with egg, char siu, green onion etc. teri burger - just right up the road from sekiyas ..they been around for a while.. W and M BBQ burger ..or the teri burger @ NEWTOWN GOLF DRIVING RANGE ..really good also. as for the beef n chicken sticks.. i would suggest goin to JIN JOO WAIMALU.. rt down the road from the driving range.. just get the KALBI PLATE.. sorry no sticks.. but you will thank me when you try it.. I would say even better than those expensive korean bbq spots in town.. or even LA K-town ...these spots should fit right in with "DINING ON A DIME" anyone in town.. try these spots.. i have alot more.. your welcome ! )

Rayfil Wong did you ever end up getting financing for the Sober Key?
spankmyprincess still can't believe I did not win and help others. Thx
so happy you came to our island.. please enjoy our culture and food.
Lucas exudes so much charm in these videos, he's such a joy to watch.
That saimin slurp at 3:41 is among the most beautiful things I've ever seen. More noodle shots, please.

Growing up in Hawaii back in the day you rush home eat siamin and watch Checkers and Pogo.
3:37 Love how Lucas handled his noodles. 😂 🤣
I suddenly have the craving for pho, ramen and saimin all at the same time. XD Binge watching Dining on a Dime when sick at home with a cold is the worst.
Feel better!
iLoveTurtlesHaha get better fast. :)
This is my aunt's family run restaraunt! I grew up eating at this place.
Sekiya’s is located on the Island of O’ahu in the Community of Kaimuki located in the County of Honolulu!
The food looks so simple but delicious. Lucas is oustanding host as usual.
Oh my gosh I haven't been to this place since I was a kid and could never remember the name every time I was back on Oahu. But I remember the fan logo! I'm so happy I found this video 4 years after it came out 😂
ho brah that teri-burger looks winnahs!
dear lucas and eater. did you shoot poke dish on this season 8?
You're just going to have to stay tuned to find out! (Yes. Absolutely. There's no way we went to Hawaii and didn't eat poke)
+Eater You could also point to your Hawaii intro video to up the views! 😀
Lucas is so good in these series, if he had an hour long show it would be amazing!
I used to eat there all the time when I was a kid. Kaimuki born and raised!! They got hit with a E.coli violation two separate times. Never been back since. I'm willing to go again if I had the time.
Thanks for sharing!! I will be in Honolulu in April and im adding Sekiyas to my list of eats!
Dang his slurping skills are on point!
Our family would eat once a week at Sekiya's (my dad went to Kaimuki h.s.). My sis & I went to Sacred Hearts and we would stop after school for a snack.
I am on the mainland now, but my family at home still eat there once a week. Damn, now I want local food!
This video makes me miss home!!! If only I could get saimin in Oklahoma!
this looks like a dish called Bakmi in indonesia
Jeremy Jahaziel Indonesian food needs to be covered, it's absolutely delicious.
Jeremy Jahaziel totally thought it was yamin (the fried saimin one) and satay at first
but totally different
Is this the place across the street from kaimuki high school?
Yes it is!
Lucas is always so polite.
Lucas, I envy your job sooo much
:/
hahaha
Did you get to try the hash tempura while you were there?
Broke da mouth! Thanks for watching!
Damn, Lucas on level 9000 with those chop sticks.
i lament the closing of saimin stands, especially washington saimin and tanoue's.
how is this season 8 already? how much time passes between seasons? i swear i've not detected a break in between them. i thought it was all one series.
We produce Dining on a Dime non-stop. Every city is a season and every city gets eight episodes. Thanks for watching!
Eater no wonder. Thanks for the reply. I don't know why I hadn't processed how the seasons are divided by city. Love the show. That being said, eight cities already? Lol. Thanks again.
Time sure does fly!
if you guys come to New England and don't visit Pigtale in Nashua Nh I will feel bad for you! Amazing food and an incredible chef.
wonder if Lucas asked them what's in the broth. Shrimp-based sounds intriguing.
We did ask! It's very common for saimin broth to be made using ebi (dry shrimp). Thanks for watching!
Eater ebi is just the Japanese word for shrimp
@@eater or shoyu based
Super big props to Lucas for being able to keep a poker face while talking to someone with missing teeth. That's very hard for a lot of people to do without showing their discomfort.
You're awful, but so right. He didn't want to risk receiving a back slap from her, lol.
You're obviously shallow.
Excellent first day in Hawaii. 👍
I love you but the way you say saimin cracks me up xD "Simon... Saimin" hahaha
Mika Morii lol
Saimin... min min min
not simon
I thought it too ;)
One of the luxuries of living in Hawaii.
How are you going to do an episode on Saimin and pronounce the word wrong, and you also should of went to Shige’s Saimin Stand, that place is really good as well.
Legend has it, if you comment early, lucas replies
lucas once again delivering the goods
Hey Lucas, don't say "state side" as Hawaii is the 50th state. :) Otherwise great review of Sekiyas! I hope you are able to go and try Champion Malasadas.
I really like Lucas
Guess whos back, back again, Lucas's back, tell a friend
This is great, I hope you guys made it to Island Style BBQ on North King Street...
Amazing videos, love your show! I am curious though, do you guys end up eating all the food? Looks like it's way too much for just one person :)
BTW if you want Hawaiian food in LA, come to Gardena- Bruddah's, Bob's Hawaiian Style, King's Hawaiian, Gardena Bowl etc.
"something not to be read into too deeply" ......perfect prose.
Mannnn you're not supposed to put ketchup and mustard on a Teri burger...
I want to eat all of this now!!
I'd love to know what "a dime" totals up to on Honolulu now?
Hugh-John Fleming absolutely nothing lol things here are more expensive than the mainland
Hawaii is great for tourists. Terrible for traveling.
how much did it all cost?
NO! WHY! I was just on Oahu for Winter Break... I really would've wanted to meet you Lucas. Anyway, enjoy the ono grindz and such. Make sure to grab some Leonards Malasadas, 7/11 teriyaki spam Musubi (it's 7/11 but don't judge), and plate lunch from Rainbow Drive In (gotta recommend the Loco Moco). Shootz.
most savage slurp action I've seen. keep on smashing it Lucas. 😎
he knows how to slurp and suck long stuff
Great job Lucas
Aloha Lucas, hilarious that lady's niece named "Fatso"... only in Hawai'i. 5 days not long enough to sample island cuisine.
Please give Lucas a raise. Wish this was like Yelp, haha
LIVING FOR THIS!
I just ate and now I feel hungry.
ok but the way he ate those noodles...
What is the difference between saimin and ramen? It looks a bit different, but i cant pinpoint the difference (i dont know much about ramen either :p)
The way you're eating the yakitori. Dude. I never felt more uncomfortable and insulted at the same time 😂😂
I hope you were able to eat some Korean meat jun. I've never had anything like it outside of honolulu
i want to change my name to simon. so lucas can call me delicious and eat me all up.
thats honestly weird
*saimin not saimon
How many institutions will you guys come ? I guess this and Helena
great video.
It is not Ramen, it's saimin. People confuse the two all the time. Saimin is unique to Hawaii only.
Tama Toa I would really love to try it! Unfortunately, I don't live in Hawaii :((

Paused at 4:30 and liked what I saw
thank you
That pork in the saimin is char siew from the southern most parts of China hahaha popularised from Hong Kong and to a lesser extent, Macau
the chair siu looks dry
YO I live right down the street
#OahuGrown
I would say come to San Francisco, but then the show would be dining on thirty dollars
I love saimin
that chop stick action when he slurps up those noodles tho
Back when i was a kid, we called it sai-mean, not sai-min, this was back in the 60s, when did it change?
I miss this show, whatever happened to it?
well, Lucas moved on to the Los Angeles Times and does reviews there..
you should try Batchoy.
I hope Lucas is gonna eat a lot of spam this season!!
Thanks for making me hungryyy :( dammmmmnnnnnnnn

Kauai Hamura saimin is the best
Aloha, Lucas!
4:56 big kahuna burger ?!

Teriyaki sauce is the name of the sauce equal parts sugar to water
that is a lot of food!
papa bless luv u papi Lucas :*
It bothers me so much when people leave their chopsticks sticking out of their food!
I immediately got the munchies
looks like wonton soup with char siu without the wontons
2:20 feels like spongebob theme...
LUCAS COME TO CHARLESTON!
Not to be picky, but FYI, we pronounce saimin as sa-ee-min, not like the name Simon. :)
i don't know anyone who pronounces it like that lol
The enthusiasm this guy has is on par with a roomba that's about to die 💯
tesyn hi tuyet v ngon thank
Saimin 🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜🍜😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Bruh, is this Hawaiin Pho? I need this in my life.
Amocoru its not rice noodles
very close to ramen
Amocoru peasant's ramen
it's saimin you wannabe hipster
Not ramen.
Once you've had saimin, you KNOW it's NOT ramen.
Ramen makes me wish I was eating saimin.
