I am dreaming of my next plate from Water Drop!One of my workers graciously bought me a plate from Water Drop and I am forever thankful for that! For years now I've been wanting to try this place as one of my former coworkers used to go here all the time. But it just never worked out because it's hard for me to find parking and go into downtown since my lunch break is not so long. I don't know the names of each dish she got me, but you can see from the pictures what the plate included. The plate was filled to the top and everything was so so tasty! It was enough for almost 3 meals. It's filled with so many things that you don't even realize it's vegetarian. My fav was the bean curd rolls and the bun filled with some kind of mushroom filling.I definitely hope to be back soon!

I walked from my office to this eatery downtown on the day after New Year's. Keep in mind, all the holiday eating, of mostly meat and seafood, I thought I better have a tasty serving of veggies for lunch and boy was this good!There was a line to order but it moved quickly. When it was my turn to order, I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't run out of anything. One of the Buddhist monks came from the kitchen to inspect supply at the hot table so i guess i dont have to worry about future visits and running out of options.I ordered the hearty fried rice with two options. First was a tofu and green beans. I appreciate that the beans were fresh and not sitting out long. The tofu had great flavor and wasn't oily. The second choice I picked was jai. Visually I could tell it would be similar to Popo's recipe because I could see the red fermented bean curd for flavoring the cabbage, noodles, and tofu skin. Even though I ordered my lunch to go, I could see that the dining area was very clean. My server was cordial and my meal was reasonably priced. This may very well be a weekly lunch spot for me!

This is still my favorite go-to vegetarian. Food is very yummy, not overly salty, and healthy. I like the variety and choices available. Service is always friendly. This time I tried the plum herbal tea which was very refreshing in this heat. The price is very good because it includes tax.

Very tasty food and a nice variety of vegan choices each time you go. One time I went almost 40 minutes before closing, and they had nearly run out of food for the day so if you're going to go, go early. Wish it was open a little bit longer in the day, knowing they can run out of food if I'm running late I have to go elsewhere. Still, I'm happy when I can make it.

After passing this place so many times I decided today is the day to try this place. Frankly I prefer meat in every meal but...omg..the food here is delicious! I walked inside and was super hesitant. The server was so friendly and welcoming. She was excited to share what they had and menu items. Lots of things looked like they were sold out but she said they were preparing more food. And! They take credit card!I walked through the line and noted everything is very bright, clean and airy. I looked at the other items and impulsively purchased a bag of fruit for a few dollars. Much cheaper than grocery store and even farmers markets.Sitting now as I enjoy the fried rice and noodles.. light and flavorful. The winter melon makes my taste buds happy! Lettuce is not lettuce but really done up to something more exciting. The pot stickers with veggie filling with a ginger spicy sauce..sooo good!!!Will definitely come back to try more dishes. For me going totally vegetarian is an adventure for my taste buds here. Hot sour soup here we come!!!

Food was good. Just like home cooking . I went in there after seeing review on Hawaii news channel. Gai Kagi eating there. It is Vegetarian but very tasty. I had the long rice, fried tofu, and picked cabbage with chicken tofu I guess. You can choose 2,3 or 4 entries plus sides. Very nice portions. I would recommend this place , however parking can be a problem.

It's the best vegetarian food in town. I always get four size foe $18 (tax included). You can also choose no carb and have one more side. Street parking then walk over.

I have eaten here numerous times. The catch is getting there during their limited hours, 11AM to 2PM, M-F. When you walk in, there is a fridge on the right. Get the plum tea/juice. Trust me on this, I always get one. There are other goodies in there, so take a look.You can get a 2, 3 or 4 item plate. I almost always get the 2 item plus soup and add the drink. Noodles or rice are automatically included and don't count as an item. Most people get half rice, half noodles. I get noodles only. The menu changes daily. Eggplant, bean curd, spring rolls, curry, mixed vegetables, etc. They're all good, but I especially like the bean curd and curries. They also have fruit or dessert a lot of times at the register. Tap to pay, or cash.Their is a restroom in the back on the left. And a temple upstairs. Yes, an actual temple for worship. I think the monks help prepare the food and it's all ladies serving. Go try this place, you'll like it. No parking though. You have to park at the post office, on Mililani Street or some other location. See my photos!

I've been here a few times, I would go more often if I could but their only open Monday through Friday at 11:00 Am. This place is very Clean and well maintained so spacious lots of seating. A pretty good selection, the food is really tasty!! Service is fast and friendly I also like that they sell fruits and vegetables too.They have a refrigerated section with vegan products too so I was excited to purchase a bag of Vegan scallops and a bag of bean curd sausage I can't wait to create dishes!!Street parking might be a challenge so I park at the metered stall across the post office and it a short walk to the restaurant..This place is not just for Vegetarians if you want to try a healthier option in plate lunches this is it! If you're curious, you should give it a try.

Food is fresh and made from scratch everyday. With a wide choice of dishes you will need to go back to ensure try everything before picking a favorite and your regular order.The drinks available are good with the plum tea my favorite. Recommend to order another lunch gor takeout to have for dinner. CZHEAP EATS got this place right when they were there earlier this year on T.V.
