Water Drop Vegetarian House

A real gem! Great vegetarian food, and the ladies who work there are so kind. Try to get there before the lunchtime rush for best options!

Best vegetarian restaurant in Honolulu! They have buddhist friendly options!!

Update: we’ve been coming here every week since our “discovery”. Each time we tried something different and tasty. Today I had 羅漢齋and 三杯「素」雞. This is by far the best vegetarian cafe in Honolulu. Note: if you’d like some sponge cakes ($2 each) or Japanese cheesecake ($10) , then you will need to be there before 11:30 a.m. For two days in a row I waited too long and was unable to buy any. We stumbled upon this gem on our way back to Waikiki and didn’t realize it was operated by the volunteers from Foguan Shan (佛光山）, a non-profit Buddhism organization. We’ve been to Foguan Shan in California and have eaten at their food hall countless times. We arrived just before closing so the choices were limited, but nonetheless all the food we had was very tasty as you can feel the efforts the volunteers have put into the food here. The chow main was very good and the veggie balls were excellent. Next time we need to come earlier and try its other choices. The sitting area was clean and comfortable. The volunteers were kind and friendly. Afterward, we took a quick tour of its place of worship upstairs, which is highly recommended to all who hasn’t been there yet.

Never rated anything before. This place has incredible homely food with decent portion size. Amazing people. Wonderful quaint temple above. Just happened to find this while looking for vegetarian food. Don't miss walking upstairs to the temple.

As a vegan this place is heaven. Only complaint I have is that they are only open for such a short time.

This place reminds me of the vegan bento places in taiwan and my mom’s Taiwanese home cooking. I love that the food isn’t overly salted or oily. Only wish was that the hours wasn’t only m-f 11am to 2pm 😂 I came by quickly for lunch during work to be able to try it! They have dairy and egg in some of their pastries but they’re mostly vegan spot. They rotate diff dishes every day. Parking is tough… meters around the building. But 100% worth it if you’re in the mood of lighter Chinese food fare… or miss home cooked meals! Staff is super friendly!

Japanese cheesecake is a must try! So creamy and soft.

I enjoy the food, staff, tea and deserts. I live in Kailua but when downtown Honolulu at lunch time it is my fav restaurant.

Just popped in here for lunch while on a walk and omg! I’ve found it tougher to find good vegetarian food here. This place was amazing and gives you so much food for the price. What a hidden gem! Highly recommend.

I normally do not get to eat here because of their hours
