Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was very tasty. The only vegan restaurant far and wide that is open until 21:00 on Sunday's.

Excellent food - Edit
I had the clay pot, it was an excellent tasty fulfilling meal. Every bite was satisfying and the vegetables were fresh and cooked to perfection. I’m not a big fan of faux meat, I hesitated ordering this meal because it has faux fish but I loved it. The flan pudding for dessert was smooth and silky. I recommend this place.

Tasty, large variety of options - Edit
This place doesn’t look like much (typical of Honolulu) but the food is great. I live in the neighborhood and eat here often and have enjoyed every dish I’ve tried. I’ve only tried the Asian dishes- none of the pasta options.

Full Vegan Menu! - Edit
My mother (vegan), her husband (non-vegan) and I (vegan) decided to try this place out one evening not knowing what to expect. And let me tell you, this place is pretty good! I got the pad Thai (⭐️⭐️ it was not that good and I couldn’t finish eating it) my mom got Chicken Oreganata (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this was AMAZING! I finished what she didn’t eat and wished I had ordered this) her husband got the Philly Sandwich (⭐️⭐️⭐️ he said the flavor was great, he just didn’t have much “meat” on there it was more veggies). The waitress didn’t speak English well at all which made it difficult at times. Overall I would definitely come back and eat here again!

Really good with a massive menu!! - Edit
Was a bit nervous to try here as the reviews weren't all great but it was really good!! Their menu is massive so there is literally something for everyone. We had Wonton Noodle Soup and Fried Rice and there were tasty and big portions. Friendly staff and easy parking.

Good, not great - Edit
We went for dinner and I got a pho-like dish and my wife selected the Pad Thai. Both were good- not great options. The appetizer we selected was a fried shrimp vegan substitute that was actually better than both of the other entree options.
Read moreMy dish was brutally hot and burned my mouth even after waiting a while to eat. The appetizer, though great, came after my dish was set down. My wife liked her pad Thai though I didn’t find the flavors too impressive. They could definitely spruce up the vibe of the place.
They have 60 items to select from, which is good if you want a long list, but a lot to select from without any highly unique tastes
Pros: Very friendly staff, Tons of options for different cuisines , Local
Cons: Mediocre atmosphere , Long wait to get food , Unoriginal dishes

Good tasting food - Edit
I think I’ve only had their pad Thai but it tastes very good.
Read moreThe only thing for me is that I don’t feel very comfortable when I’m eating here. It’s way too quiet for my liking. If they played some music, it would create nice ambiance for sure.
Pros: ALL VEGAN!, Gluten free options
Cons: Too quiet, On the oily side, Nothing striking (but good!)

Unique - Edit
The food is good with interesting flavors. I don’t tolerate meat analogues well though, so thus the 3 star. But if you are going out with meat eaters this might be a good choice. If you are looking for ambience you won’t find it here. But still quaint and clean. No alcohol if that important to you.
Read morePros: Unique flavors, Good place to take non vegans for a “meat” taste, Very fresh vegetables
Cons: Use of many meat analogues , Service seemed a little slow

Simple Vietnamese Cafe - Edit
This is not the place to come if you’re a foodie. Simple food from French fries to Italian to Vietnamese. The oil they use is not great. Two stars for food, three for being all vegan.

Yummy Vietnamese food - Edit
We had dinner at Simple Joy the other night and tried the Vietnamese pancake (me) and Vietnamese roll (hubby). Both food were delicious. We also tried the sauté edamame, yummy as well. The staff was super friendly and took good care of us :) When we come back to Honolulu, will be back for sure.
