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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 ! )
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.
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.
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.
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.
3:37 Love how Lucas handled his noodles. 😂 🤣
Growing up in Hawaii back in the day you rush home eat siamin and watch Checkers and Pogo.
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.
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.
The food looks so simple but delicious. Lucas is oustanding host as usual.
ho brah that teri-burger looks winnahs!
Lucas, I envy your job sooo much
:/
hahaha
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 😂
Sekiya’s is located on the Island of O’ahu in the Community of Kaimuki located in the County of Honolulu!
Dang his slurping skills are on point!
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.
Damn, Lucas on level 9000 with those chop sticks.
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
Lucas is always so polite.
Thanks for sharing!! I will be in Honolulu in April and im adding Sekiyas to my list of eats!
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!
One of the luxuries of living in Hawaii.
This video makes me miss home!!! If only I could get saimin in Oklahoma!
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 ;)
Excellent first day in Hawaii. 👍
ok but the way he ate those noodles...
I really like Lucas
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.
"something not to be read into too deeply" ......perfect prose.
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
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 once again delivering the goods
Legend has it, if you comment early, lucas replies
Guess whos back, back again, Lucas's back, tell a friend
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 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.
I just ate and now I feel hungry.
I would say come to San Francisco, but then the show would be dining on thirty dollars
I want to eat all of this now!!
i lament the closing of saimin stands, especially washington saimin and tanoue's.
Aloha Lucas, hilarious that lady's niece named "Fatso"... only in Hawai'i. 5 days not long enough to sample island cuisine.
BTW if you want Hawaiian food in LA, come to Gardena- Bruddah's, Bob's Hawaiian Style, King's Hawaiian, Gardena Bowl etc.
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.
Please give Lucas a raise. Wish this was like Yelp, haha
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.
Mannnn you're not supposed to put ketchup and mustard on a Teri burger...
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 :((
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.

@@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
The way you're eating the yakitori. Dude. I never felt more uncomfortable and insulted at the same time 😂😂
YO I live right down the street
#OahuGrown
that chop stick action when he slurps up those noodles tho
I hope Lucas is gonna eat a lot of spam this season!!
Paused at 4:30 and liked what I saw
Did you get to try the hash tempura while you were there?
Broke da mouth! Thanks for watching!
most savage slurp action I've seen. keep on smashing it Lucas. 😎
he knows how to slurp and suck long stuff
LIVING FOR THIS!
It bothers me so much when people leave their chopsticks sticking out of their food!
Kauai Hamura saimin is the best
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 ! )
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!
I need to live there.
Great job Lucas
thank you
This is great, I hope you guys made it to Island Style BBQ on North King Street...
I love saimin
Thanks for making me hungryyy :( dammmmmnnnnnnnn
looks like wonton soup with char siu without the wontons
I immediately got the munchies
Teriyaki sauce is the name of the sauce equal parts sugar to water
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.
#Eater #LucasPeterson ... every time u eat , I eat 😁😁😄 I loooooove ur short crisp yummy videos ... :-)
how much did it all cost?
2:20 feels like spongebob theme...
Back when i was a kid, we called it sai-mean, not sai-min, this was back in the 60s, when did it change?
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 :)
great video.
you should try Batchoy.
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
Is this the place across the street from kaimuki high school?
Yes it is!
Idk about u guys but "Saimin" sounds like "Hypnosis" to me
And I have tons of cursed knowledge about it
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
Cool!
that is a lot of food!
Lucaaaaas! Lucas!
Lu-
-c a s!
The enthusiasm this guy has is on par with a roomba that's about to die 💯
I hope you were able to eat some Korean meat jun. I've never had anything like it outside of honolulu
Lucas pronounces the "l" in folk
How many institutions will you guys come ? I guess this and Helena
Aloha, Lucas!
LUCAS COME TO CHARLESTON!
oldskool
