Reheated slop

I ate here a few nights ago, the atmosphere left a lot to be desired but gave them a try. I had the vegan burrito and my partner had the vegan special.
The lettuce was brown and mine was cold in the middle, the mixture was the same on my partners meal, hot on the outside and cold in the middle..

Pros: Fast service

Cons: Cold food

pretty good option in waikiki

I quite enjoyed my meal here. I had the totally vegan special which was tvp based chilli, brown rice, avocado and salad. I found the flavour nice and the meal itself was really filling!! I understand the feedback of others re the tired nature of the place but overall I thought it’s a must try if you are vegan as there are so many clearly labelled options! price point was good too in comparison to other places in the area

Nice vegan option

The menu has all sorts of stuff from smoothies to entrees to dragon bubble drinks.

The vegan spaghetti is literally the best red sauce I’ve ever had. I practically licked my bowl clean

Pros: Vegan spaghetti , Vegan chicken dishes , Vegan smoothies (ask for no honey)

Cons: Pork and fish on the menu, Must spend $8 to use credit card , Kind of dingy and smells weird

Ruffage

The food here is fine, but not my favorite. I’ve eaten here a few times over the years and always get the Totally Vegan Special. It’s basically TVP, lettuce with avocado, and rice. I was starving when I arrived in Oahu yesterday and Ruffage was closest, it did the job. By the way, this restaurant is definitely not fancy and has a smell to it. You can definitely ruff it in your swim gear here.

Good selection, healthy but not unflavorful

They were out of dry tofu so I got the vegan chili dog as side salad. Would go back, this isn’t high dining by any means and to everyone who complains about price.....cmon man this is Waikiki. Everything is expensive.

Super fast with vegetrian, vegan and carnivores

Good little shop downtown with both options (everything clearly marked) to easily satisfy a variety of people.

The sandwiches aren't crazy fancy or anything, but good!

Vegan options in Waikiki

Vegan options in Waikiki, but not too much. If you want something basic, like a sandwich, it’s okay. They don’t have a lot of options and what you can get that is vegan is easy to make from just going to foodland. It seems they used to be better years ago, but I’m not as impressed anymore. But if you want something quick and easy it’s all right!

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Not enough variety

Kind of so-so

I'm appreciative of the fact that there were vegan options here, since there aren't a lot of veg places on Waikiki, but I felt that the food was quite simple and a bit overpriced for what I got.

Cons: Overpriced

Quick easy delicious

We popped into Ruffage for a quick lunch after we spent the morning on the beach and it was perfect for grabbing a bite. The vegan sandwiches taste great, not too big but also reasonable for the price. Would recommend

Pros: A lot of vegan options, Cheap, Quick service

Convenient location for Veg

The food was ok, reminded me of something I would make for myself in college while on a budget but it was nice to be able to access vegan food so close to my hotel.

Pros: Some vegan options, Cold water for drinking , Comfort food like Spaghetti

Cons: No coffee, Not 100% confident in food being vegan, Chilli watery

So many vegan options 😊

This place had so many great options! Both times I went I had a vegan sandwich and miso soup which was soo good! They also have really nice cold drinks like kombucha and fresh pineapple juice. This place is really good if you want something homely. Did I mention it was really well priced.

Pros: Lots of vegan options. Really well priced.

Cons: Staff could be more friendly.

Best for lunch and dinner

Wandered in here looking for breakfast and made it work with salads and sandwiches(all tasty). Great number of options to choose from. Picked up a couple of Zone Perfect bars too for snacking later.

Simple and good

Food was good but tasted just like home-made food. It’s good in a way but not if you want something else. If I were to change one thing I’d add a knife to the fork. There is a reason why people use both. Other than that is a great simple restaurant. Go inside!

Pros: Lots of vegan and veggie options, Food tastes great, just like home-made, Restaurant is simple in a good way

Cons: No knifes... not sure why, Dishes are plastic or something like that

Lot of vegan options, delicious tea!

I took vegan burrito which was delicious and we both with my parner took green ice teas (passionfruit and watermelon, both with lychee jely). It was one of the best ice teas I’ve ever had. Definitely will come back soon

Pros: Lots of vegan options

Decent Vegan Options

Ruffage is a basic vege-friendly deli/health food shop a few minutes from Waikiki Beach. Mains are from about $7-12, so it's a lot cheaper than other nearby restaurants. The food is decent - some things needed a bit more seasoning, but the salads and dressings were yummy.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Long opening hours , Independent place with super helpful staff

Great little place with great vegan options. Enjoyed everything we ordered including the Poke and Miso soup. Easy Waikiki location - staff is very helpful. Worth a second trip.

Pros: Dry tofu poke is yummy, Staff was knowledge , Kava tea = delicious

Cons: Styrofoam containers, Bottled Italian salad dressing, Not 100% vegan + honey in smoothies
