Best Soup

Saimin Says is Kent's Hawaiian plate-lunch storefront named for the islands' indigenous noodle soup. The saimin broth is lip-swellingly salty, and grows more so as matchsticks of Spam, scrawls of darkly roasted pork, and strips of fish cake wallow in it. The Papa Jim Min, perhaps the best saimin on a list of a dozen different preparations, scores texture points with creamy patches of scrambled egg and a flurry of crisp green onions. The soup needs nothing, but the kitchen makes a dazzling, sunshiny hot sauce that would be silly to ignore.
