school of course you gotta have simon so today we'll be visiting shige's simon stand and this spot is a landmark here in wahiawa and we're super excited to take you guys along and we have a special guest we do oh oh wait we have more than one place though so make sure you guys stay tuned for the whole video we are going to be taking you on a little wahiaba food tour all right let's get going cause we're starving the vaughn's here it's right there the restaurant let's go let's go [Music] he does that okay sounds good okay guys so our first stop here on our wahiwa food tour we are at shige simon stand originally a little stand out in haleiwa town of the north shore their son actually started this simon stand but it's actually a little store here in wahiawa on a small strip mall off of kilani street or whatever it's very very quaint and the servers are super super nice here you can see all the pictures all over the wall of the old town you can see like what the original town looked like what makes it even more awesome is that they have little numbers on them that denote where on the bigger map the locations are used to be and also so shiges simon has a very small menu but there's a lot of different options i am actually surprised that the simon is very just simple and straightforward there's like salmon vegetable salmon wonton mint soup udon wonton udon fried salmon fried udon like that's it it's very very compared to shiro's if you guys haven't caught our shiro simon video make sure you check it out and also yeah we didn't mention what simon is then simon is a very local kind of noodle dish like a noodle soup dish yeah comfort food pretty much here in hawaii we all grew up eating it and it's honestly very comforting if you're born and raised here you know simon really good this place is known for their simon and known for their hand-cut noodles every single morning had to try it out also they're known for their burgers and terry sticks oh you know okay when you get simon if it's your first time make sure you get the proteins do not skimp on the proteins trust me even if you don't eat proteins try it out it's so good well they do have a vegetable assignment if you can see this is your guys first time tuning in first time watching us eat simon we'll teach you all the proper way except when you said that you dip your burger inside just laughed at you all right she said no if you haven't caught that simon video the previous one just check it out first and you'll get the the joke someone mentioned in the comment to try dipping the burger in the assignment i did it it was phenomenal i don't know because i was getting over food poisoning that time it was so awesome [Music] all right guys so we got our food and everything looks so amazing we ended up getting uh one ton men which is a saimin but with one ton chinese style dumplings and then we also got two barbecue sticks which is like teriyaki beef we also got a double cheeseburger barbecue burger fried noodles and a cider mex salad this burger dough just by looking at it you can tell it's gonna be really good you know when you do burgers you gotta go for the double guys come on no no single patties around here and it's not just any burger guys it's barbecue terry burger let's get into the simon first because this is a simon stand i want to try the broth first i always gotta try the broth first very nostalgic comfort flavors really clean so typical fair of salmon typical plating joshua spam or luncheon meat some shredding of egg and green onion and these noodles you can tell very good thank you the noodles here are really good you can tell it's in-house made hand cut it's not the store-bought noodles nice chew the flavors of the broth are very simple it's just very like that doshi flavor is going to be very familiar and then there's also kama boko which is this pink fish cake thing i do want to try the one ton and i will say that the soup here does taste a little different i'm not sure if it's because there's one ton in here and the one ton kind of made the soup taste a little different this is what the one ton looks like a simple dumpling here dip it in some of that hot mustard show you [Music] a little too ambitious on the hot mustard if you're feeling a little under the weather or you're just craving something simple and hearty and go wrong with simon mmm wow the wontons are very filling there's a lot of filling in there i'm gonna try the terry beef sticks this has been calling my name since she brought it all look at this glistening lovely piece of meat here [Music] a little on the tougher side but the flavors are on point it's like a really sweet teriyaki flavor okay let me try a piece i'm not a big cherry stick person but i will try a little piece [Music] has a nice beefy flavor sweet salty it's a very sweet soy flavor to me the star here is the salmon we haven't tried the burger yet so oh and we also got um fried noodles or fried cinnamon look at this oh goodness oh guys this noodles wow what did they stir fry it in maybe oyster sauce kind of taste um little bit sweet salty i do like that the noodles are al dente great bounce and texture it doesn't taste like salmon though like typical fried salmon okay i love that fried cinnamon like shockingly good shockingly good wow we'll try this shockingly awesome noodles here [Music] that that's where it's at guys [Applause] [Music] it's almost like the sweet soy flavor in here like that cherry stick like the the sauce you guys see the sweet sauce that they use for the the cherry sticks it's as if they use their proprietary sauce and stir-fried the fried simon i wouldn't blame them if they use the same sauce because that sauce is addictive usually fried salmon i'm not gonna lie it's good but it's not like wow you know like you can eat fried salmon at home or usually simon is like the go-to or simon is just like you know the gold standard but here wow the fried simon's really good i'm surprised actually dang this was yvonne's pick too take some of that terry beef because it is cold dip it in the salmon [Music] is it burger time it's burger time this thick bad gal here [Music] this is the stars show here let me try it you can tell the meat is very fluffy it's like airy looking [Music] it's so juicy nice char very beefy flavors very old-school diner flavored burger oh the chard and the sweet sauce so good that terry sauce just makes everything taste good here definitely get their barbecue burger and make it a double or you'll be in trouble okay definitely the burger barbecue burger and this fried salmon and the regular slime man oh man we forgot to mention that here they actually have two sizes for simon they have a large and a small so if you want to try a variety of things just get the small leave a comment down below if you dip your burger in there simon this is my first time at shige's simon please and honestly everything was really good i don't think you can go wrong with just ordering what you feel like eating at the time of course you know because of the namesake they are known for their simon i thought the simon was very light i appreciated when i drank the soup it wasn't like too heavy so when you eat it it feels like you can eat a lot if you do end up getting the large bowl which we did just so we can share they give you a lot of noodles which i know that's what people would be concerned with right whether it's worth it to get the large or just get a small i ordered the fried salmon i was expecting it to be just a typical fried simon but whatever sauce they used in it made it a little bit more sweeter just like the simon is very light barbecue stick was really amazing definitely want to pair that up with your simon if you want to have a little bit more meat but the burger if you guys ever eat like l l or if you ever go to those you know small little dine ins for those burgers that's what the flavors remind me of it feels very nostalgic to me i do appreciate that the terry version of the burger gives a decent amount of sauce i'm not a very big having a lot of sauce so i liked that it wasn't a messy burger i don't know comment down below if you're like into having like a really messy burger with a lot of sauces or you like having a clean burger i'm just i don't know maybe it's just my ocd but i like having it not be too messy but still being really delicious so i appreciate the burger despite being a terry burger it wasn't i didn't have messy hats after eating yes i do recommend eating here especially if you're down on this side give shige's assignment a try fuji ohana we are off to a good delicious start but the show does not end there we are heading to a next location also a wahiawa staple and local favorite so stay tuned you don't want to miss this one especially because the von's here all right see you guys there [Music] all right ohana so we are on to location number two a local korean barbecue favorite here they're known for their meat john if you guys don't know what meat jun is it's that thin piece of like barbecue meat that's lightly coated in egg oh it's so good it's like a local favorite here in hawaii we ordered a bunch of things so the reason why we wanted to take you here is because they're known for their meat john as he mentioned supposedly they have the best meat john on oahu so we're going to try it out we're going to see and you guys know we've did previous videos of korean barbecue so if you want to check those out i'll leave that down in the description so you guys can see that one as well we're super excited to try it out we just ordered so it's going to come out soon this spot is actually on olive street called dong yang's across the street from the mcdonald's here and yeah there's parking in the back we did get kind of confused with the parking but we found the parking it's in the back very old school here like the old school diner vibes i want to quickly mention they're not really doing dine-in it's more like cafe style where you order your food first you find a table that's vacant and you can carry your food out and dine on the table right is that what you call it you bring your food to the table it's not service we'll see when the food arrives you want it thank you you know you're in for a hefty good time when your plates are being secured by rubber bands and the rice couldn't even fit on the plate that to give us on the side it's crazy the amount of food they give you here look at this beautiful plate granted it is on the pricier side but this is going to feed all three of us so we we got the dong yang special just to try a little bit of everything since being our first time you know and also pro tip if any place you're going to is selling sauce on the side as extra you know it's good you know that means everyone's been asking for their sauce and they can no longer give it out for free so extra sauce do it even if you haven't tried it it's gotta be good so don yang here their plates are a little bit different you don't get to choose the bonchon or the sides so their standard plate lunch comes with bean sprouts cucumber and kimchi so of course i had to order a side of mac you already know that they're known for their meat john so i'm going to try their meat jar first and foremost looks like there's barbecue chicken meat john fish fried mandu bugogi beef maybe and kauvi and some kind of fried tempura looking thing shrimp tempura shrimp tempura oh oh meat and john cheers oh look how thick that meat is okay dang leave a comment down below who's meat sticker dip it in that secret sauce whoa i'm actually pretty good oh more tender than i thought not gonna lie no this is good oh wow if you rewind from what i said earlier i said if you guys didn't know what meat was there's like 10 pieces of meat no this is meaty meat the other places their meat on is like almost like beef jerky thin it'll still be soft but thin yeah this is thick look i just grabbed another piece it's consistently thick oh man it is meaty tender nicely seasoned and that egg batter is really nice by far my favorite meat john on this side of the island i'm shook shook from the noodles show from the meat john shook from this awesome video drop a like a lot of people talk about don yang having the best meat giant on the island but in my head i'm just thinking why would we come all the way down to wahiba for meat john you know like that's honestly really out of the way but dang this is good if you're on your way to north shore and you're going to be heading down this side and you're craving korean bbq meats that's pretty good the fish jam's okay barbecue chicken had better it's okay i don't know i think the best thing here is just the meat john honestly look at this bad boy this thing is so fatty i love fat pieces man you just shove that right in your mouth i'm not gonna lie i'm not a big bulgogi fan but it seems like the beef here is really good so let's try it not a beef fan not really a bugogi kind of person so whole but even the bulgogi is not thin little pieces of meat look at this one look at this bad gogi because it's so batty i'm so lame today i'm so sorry the best thing here is their meat john i would definitely come back to that the fish gem was actually okay too you know you gotta try their max salad i'm not a celery person celery not really my type of mac style if you're into um potato style mac salad oh no we haven't tried kalbi yet i wish to get more of this of course you eat korean barbecue you gotta have cowbee right or korean short ribs what she looked like she was gonna die eating that potato sauce [Applause] don't don't get the mac salad copper cheer leave a comment if you like yvonne's top so this is i think they're a shrimp tempura i don't think that's a tail i think that's just part of the batter the vaughan's shaking her head and amanda's too full it's never too much food for the vlog it's cause we have dessert coming guys okay i'm saving my stomach for dessert we'll save that sigma for yourself later this is felix's segment take over shrimp siamese here i go oh i don't know sadly i think the shrimp went bad luckily you have a vietnam train stomach anyway um we're gonna finish up here awesome dessert segment coming up trust us oh you should be saying that we do have a dessert place we have lined up right after this so make sure you guys stay tuned you don't want to miss it it's going to be epic [Music] we okay guys so this is ayanna and she's gonna talk about this boba spot thank you so much for inviting us thank you for coming this is actually a locally owned boba spot it's the idea of it was originally like an express boba place where people could just come in and like have unique drinks that were made by us like the workers specifically and so there's a lot of love put into this store it's very small but we hope to expand in the future and i hope that people enjoy their stay here because we really like being here we really put a lot of our heart into these drinks and um all our waffles when did you guys start up here oh we actually started again in the summer time we reopened in the summer under new management and so our team here is a completely new team from when we for like this boba's shop first ever begin [Music] you really really [Music] this is daina and she's going to be explaining exactly what we ordered today because she is a boba specialist so let's see what we got hi hello so this is our okinawa cheesecake it's our okinawa milk tea place with cheese from on top along with brown sugar boba this is the mango starch slushie one of my favorites i also have mango star jelly on top this is the hokkaido tiger coffee milk tea it comes with our hokkaido milk base along with our coffee milk base with tiger walls dagona whipped cream on top along with brown sugar boba and for the last one over here this is one of our favorite drinks it is the ultraviolet raichi with lychee star jelly it's a great refresher drink on a hot day especially like this one this is our berries and cream waffle cone and this is our ube heart bubble bites and you can't see it right now but there's ice cream hiding underneath we gotta get to it thank you so much of course so this is what i got ultra violet lychee with star jelly look at that it's so cute of course i got something a lot manlier than that i got the hokkaido tiger stripe so this is like their take on the the logo coffee with it's beyond boba's version of their coffee drink here with hokkaido fresh milk and the longer coffee topping sorry guys i don't drink much sweet things so i'm pretty excited though i need my caffeine fix oh and devon she got refreshing guys i got the mango star but i like mango slush if you've seen in our previous bubble tea videos how was your drink it is very very refreshing today is hot we usually film outside as you guys know but it's freaking hot outside we have to stay in wow this is good definitely perks you right off suddenly i don't feel the kanek attack anymore i feel like i'm ready to tackle on the day even though the day's ending my drink is very refreshing it's not too sour either and the lychee jelly is really good it's a little bit bigger than the usual lychee jelly so it kind of has like a boba feel the boba in here is very chewy i like that very cute it's a very sweet kind of milk i got this 25 so at beyond bobo you can also choose your sweetness it's pretty sweet even for 25 so if you guys aren't too big on the sweetness level like i am get 25 if you try this hokkaido tiger coffee and then i'm gonna try their okinawan cheesecake milk tea she said that there's the okinawan milk tea brown sugar boba and a cheesecake layer on top let's stir this baby up sounds like a dolce kind of drink it's sweet very sweet if you like brown sugar boba that right there is really good it's good but definitely on the sweeter side i think it's the brown sugar boba it kind of just settles at the bottom i'm not sure if you guys knew but like okinawa is known for their brown sugar so i think that's the flavor here oh i didn't know that we also got these waffle bites but they kind of melted this one's ube that one's strawberry this is bites so pretty much what they did was they took the individual waffle from here and put it into here with ice cream this is just like a waffle cone oh guys come early because it does get crowded here yeah there's even ice cream wow that looks almost too pretty to eat whoa how's that the sprinkles hmm mmm i like this one this is just strawberry and cream do you like strawberry cream oh look there's blueberry bites in there too they asked if you wanted ice cream you got it oh oh yeah sugar got ice cream in this one for the waffles you can add on ice cream highly recommend so the waffle here warm crunchy chewy and very fluffy you guys can see the center it's very fluffy on the inside but not too doughy like custard like like a what do you call it like an undoggy it's not that doughy will learn flakey should we switch out can i just take both hey guys strawberry time this is kind of hard to eat though like if you only have one hand but what is is that ube egg puffs yeah yeah this one can you just use your finger i think this one definitely would taste really really good with ice cream so that ice cream on both this one is really pretty i think we really like ube and sweet richness and pretty stuff this one is for you i kind of like just the plain jane oggy egg puff i do really like my drink though i'm not gonna lie oh the drink is really good the egg puffs are really good i highly recommend this it's not too sweet either i think i got 50 if you don't like lychee jelly just don't get it with the lychee jelly but it's really good wow hot day sunny day any day definitely get this one ultraviolet super star fruit lychee awesome drink beverage you like mango the mango one is also super good it's like basically whatever mango slush that you can think of so your favorite mango slush get this and also i really like the texture of the ice for me when it comes to tea i'm more of a refreshing type of person i try not to get like really heavy it's like milk tea is a little heavy for me sometimes but when i'm in the mood for it i will get it but i kind of wish we got more of those [Music] get their refreshing teas get their waffles just try everything actually they got everything beyond and big shout out again to
