Down to Earth
With the fast food chains packing Dairy Road, you might miss this healthy alternative, and that would be a shame. This small Hawaiian chain health food store has a good takeout/ prepared food counter. It’s also overwhelmingly vegan and all organic. Prepared foods in the chill case include fresh spring rolls (tasty with peanut sauce — to which we add a squirt of siracha), “beautiful” wraps (basically a sandwich wrapped in a giant collard green), and simple but satisfying inari sushi (seasoned brown rice wrapped in a triangular pocket made of thin, wrinkly soybean curd).
The self-serve salad bar features hot and cold items such as purple sweet potatoes, lasagna, chili, curries, millet cakes, mock tofu chicken, curried tofu (great, with apples, cashews, and raisins), and Greek salad. You pay by the pound, and can take out or eat in with the locals at the stools and tables available in the upper loft.
