Simple Joy Vegetarian Cuisine

Coming back around for an update after our second visit to Oahu & the fourth or fifth time we have eaten from Simple Joy’s kitchen. What you have here is a no-frills, delicious Buddhist-Vegan Chinese eatery. The service hasn’t ever been a very warm reception when we visit but it’s counterbalanced by really delicious vegan fare we enjoy the grilled chicken, which is a garlicky dish served with broccoli, rice & assorted vegetables. We always start with spring rolls, which are delicious. We’ve explored the menu some & there are some varied ethnic dishes on there which we’ve enjoyed, but always come back around to the grilled chicken dish! Thanks, Simple Joy.

What a wonderful spot! Pretty unassuming, but the food is GOOD! The banana flower salad was completely new to us and so refreshing. The curry soup is something I haven’t seen before. It was tasty and filling. The Thai iced tea was perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of sugar and caffeine. Everything was clearly freshly made with fresh, quality ingredients. Great prices and large portions. A simple joy. 100% recommend.

This humble Vegan Asian spot in Honolulu is a must dine. As a carnivore with a penchant for non-meat dishes this place hit all the spots. Atmosphere isn’t anything but I couldn’t bear to give anything less than five stars across the board because this food is to die for if you love Asian food. I had the sweet and sour ribeye (vegan) and the family tried some noodle soups, coconut curry, and fried rice and it was perfect all around. The lady who was serving us was sweet and this place makes for a great meal. If I find myself in Honolulu again this place can expect me to come back and feast yet again. Thanks for a great meal Simple Joy.
