    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.

    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!

      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.
