We enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal and this wonderful little spot in Honolulu. We'll definitely be back!! Excellent place for both meat eaters and vegetarians.
This is a quaint place with vegan options. I ate the curry with beef and brown rice. It is delicious! Small interior, but you can sit outside basically. Really great on a beautiful day here in Hawaii. Thoroughly enjoyed it, and I finished all my food and Thai iced tea. Yum!
4+ if not 5 stars. Excellent service, nice outdoor seating area but along a busy and noisy street. Very fresh, tasty food with good flavors. The portions are just right. Had eggplant and mushrooms with lemongrass vermicceli and mushrooms. I recommend and will be back.
The Ripples of Smiles has easily become one of my favorite spots on Oahu. They specialize in “healthy” portions and also have a great vegan menu. Parking in the area is kinda limited, but well worth the trip for the quality of food. I’d definitely recommend this for a first date spot. The outside portion has nice fairy lighting as well (feels very intimate).
This place pushes very hard on a “clean cusine” marketing angle for their food. They do offer lots of vegetarian and vegan options which are not readily available in other places. However the promise of “your mind being blown” by the vegan house special etc falls a bit short - I tried the special with tofu myself. There are some nice flavors but definitely not mind blowingly good. The iced coffee is definitely worth a try though.
Another random note - when I visited (early dinner) the music was of the obnoxious smooth jazz variety and a bit too upfront in the “outdoor dining” area. It did change for the better as the evening progressed.
I go here almost every week so I must really like it ; ) hours are great. It's a family run business and the staff is always running around trying their best. Even when it's busy we seem to get our food reasonably quickly. I love love love that they have a clearly labeled veg menu and with the vegetarian society membership I get a 15% discount. My favorite dishes are the spring rolls, pho, veggies tempura, papaya salad, vegan pho, and house special (tofu mushroom of course).
Nice little place that serves tasty vegan food in a clean and friendly environment. Also, serves delicious salmon and veg pho. Clean toilet. Friendly staff. Very popular. Online table reservations and take-always. l
This place is a gem. We love sitting outside which they have cleverly covered so you’re not distracted by the very busy streets. They also allow dogs to sit outside.
There is an extensive vegan menu. I have eaten the pho, ban mi, lemongrass tofu, lemongrass meat alternative, vegan spring rolls. Nothing has disappointed me. The coffee is absolutely delicious. Parking can be challenging but I have always found parking available-just an awkward lot. Service is prompt.
Wonderful place with both indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit outside in the covered lanai where there were tables more than 6 feet apart. Though we were outdoors, we could hardly hear the busy traffic on the otherside the fence.
I get the beef pho EVERYWHERE I travel to and this is my top 3 best ones of all time. I was so impressed. The broth has soo much flavor, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is extravagant. Can’t do any better, ESPECIALLY at this price point. Give it a try.
