I used to love Leahi so much and tell all my friends, strangers and people visiting the island about it and i would also take some of my tours there as well but will no longer.I started working here 3 weeks ago and the day i quit this was the conversation that was brought up to me.First off Malia the manager at the manoa location is very cold and not friendly she doesn’t even smile.I came into my shift at 7:45am and she was 10 minutes late. We walk in and she mentioned she needed to talk to me about a few things.She said she noticed a bunch of my friends coming in and she reminded me i couldn’t give them any discounts. And i looked at her and said i don’t even work the register when they have came in and i don’t even know how to give discounts.Then she proceeded to say the other day my friend came in to order a smoothie and she said hi to me and i told her i was going to put something special in it and took it out to her and told her i put love in it.Malia said that she heard that and im not allowed to give any extras without them paying for it and i looked at her and said i didn’t put any extras i put “love” in the smoothie.She was so rude and if you ever experienced the same i would encourage you to write your story on here.My roommate Emma also experienced her unkindness and coldness and quit 2 weeks later as well. She mentioned she wasn’t nice, she treated her like she was stupid when she was training.I could understand why people don’t want to continue working for this company. A piece of advice for the owner Jason. If you have happy employees you’ll have happy customers because the employees will take care of them. I’ve seen Malia interact with customers and be very cold and rude to them in my 3 weeks working there.

Absolutely amazing service! The poor barista was alone all day and still worked very diligently and made our smoothies so delicious! 100% worth it an I would come agian!

First, Malia is the best and was so patient with me while I asked one hundred questions. I ordered the Sweet Tweet and I wish I could have one everyday. These are real green smoothies that taste delicious but are also good for you! There's a special nearly everyday and I can't wait to go back.

I go to the Leahi Health in the Manoa Marketplace whenever it is more convenient than their Kaimuki location. Ample parking as it is a mall. Strictly a takeaway eatery but Manoa Marketplace has tables for dining on both the east and west ends. If you're vegan/vegetarian, Leahi offers affordable food that tastes good...good enough that regular consumers will find most tacos or bowls tasty. They offer some 20+ smoothies. Manoa just started featuring a special: Chocolate Salted Caramel Smoothie. Salted caramel is a trendy flavor and this was quite good; the drink having almond milk, oats, cacao, banana, amongst a few other ingredients. Maybe not as healthy as other offerings but it was good.They will offer different specials not available at other locales. Another current special is the Lentil Curry, which I intend to try. A previous Mediterranean Bowl was quite good but no longer on the menu.Service is pretty fast for a walk-in order. I also use the Clover app to order online - which is convenient.

Feeling like a smoothie...Yes there are days like this when I feel a bit run down and blah...I just crave a smoothie and that's where Leahi Health is the place that I love and you can find them tucked away in Mānoa Marketplace.It always seem to happen unconsciously on Thursdays when they run their "Thirsty Thursday" deal which is $1 off all smoothies all day and it's not the only day with deals...- Mushroom Monday (add reishi or lion's mane to any smoothie for Free- Taco Tuesday (any tacos & smoothie for $15)- Thirsty Thursday ($1 off all smoothies)- Free Shot Friday (Free health shots all day)- Taco Saturday (any tacos & smoothie for $15)On this day it was "Starburst" smoothie which consist of apple juice, almond milk, banana, pineapple, blueberries, orange and lemon and what a winning blend of fruits, you can taste the freshness the pith (the white part that surrounds the citrus) of the fruit which has a lot of nutrient as well as the amazing supporting flavor...as I was driving it was literally gone in no time.The place is very small but the staff here is very efficient and fast, the decor is super cute and simple though I did notice a Yelp award above the display fridge giving them "Yelp 2525 recipient for Best "Plant Based" Food" which is a cute lunch box...did anyone noticed that? They certainly do deserves this award as it got me feeling better with a fresh and delicious smoothie.Thank you!

Surfer bowl is a must try ! Lots of healthy leaves. I also tried a green drink which was not bad at all!

Delicious vegan rainbow bowl.

There's so many daily deals here! From free shot Friday, to my favorite: taco Tuesday & Saturday. Came here on a Saturday, and ordered the taco Saturday - which is a smoothie and taco order for only $15. Service is quick and the staff here is so kind. Ordered the kale and avocado tacos with the green monster smoothie. The tacos were great, and I loved the pita bread addition. I found the smoothie a little bit on the icier end, but no outstanding complaints. It's a small cafe in a larger complex, with no indoor seating. However, there's plenty of outdoor seating and tables outside!

I had a bowl and smoothie. All the ingredients tasted really fresh. The bowl was a good sized portion and filling.
If you want color in your life, come here for some delicious healthy food. I'm not vegan or vegetarian or pescatarian or whatever, but if I was, this would be one of my go to places. Currently there's construction going on in Manoa marketplace so I couldn't really see their business Sign. But I went walking through their different restaurants after ordering L&L for my wife lol and I came upon this place, I wasn't in the mood for katsu and I wanted something healthy. I've seen their business around Aina haina in Hawaii kai so I was curious. Last time I had something vegetarian was Wholefoods and that cost me $30 for the same amount of food I ordered here. One bowl here cost me $11 to $14 and it was even better than Wholefoods. Lemme tell you something, if you want something healthy, consider this place .I'm not an expert or anything on vegan places but I'd recommend this place if you're feeling guilty about eating junk food beforehand, or if you want a healthy option, come here! It's great. I ordered the tuna mock bowl. That was delish, all the veggies were fresh and the kale wasn't saturated with dressing, it was on point. And I don't even like Kale. There was only one time in my life when Kale tasted great and that was it. But today it tasted delish! It's my first time here and it Won't be my last time. thank you Leahi Hra

This place is in the shopping center, it's a little hole in the wall. But has a lot of colorful and refreshing food. They offer smoothies, salad sandwiches. Everything is made fresh, it's vegan and vegetarian. This is not a sit down restaurant, everything is made to go.I came here with some friends after a day of skating, it was a nice light lunch. We ordered the beet salad, rainbow, tacos, and the breakfast tacos . I ate the breakfast taco, it was made with tofu, coconut and avocado. I needed the proteins and it was packed with it. I will be going back and try and other things off their menu..

Ordered the Brazilian smoothie, taste like watered down granola. Never again will I waste money there. I ended up throwing it out.

Today I was treated poorly by the clerk who seemed like it was a huge bother for her to customize my bowl. When you pay $15 for a salad, customer service should be really good as well. And people have food allergies. If i don't want everything in a bowl, help to ensure i get what I'm paying for. Is that beyond the scope of their duties? I'll never eat here again. The people in Aina Haina are so friendly and nice. I made a mistake going to snobby manoa today and that girl in particular, need some retraining.

Same quality as the Kaimuki store, perfect. Large parking lot is helpful
