The owner Kai, was very kind and excited to share his creations with everyone. It was a pleasure to present him with an Excellent Reviews decal. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Great Catering - Edit
We catered a vegan dinner for our wedding from them and it was amazing. All the omnivores attending the wedding loved it as well. The owner is very friendly and loaned us serving utensils and plates as well. He even added a couple extra pans of food on top of what we ordered no charge. He also delivered it to us which was awesome and helped bring it in and set up. Great experience and next time I'm here I will definitely visit his truck and get some food.

How did you contact the owners about catering? I can’t find any contact information on the website lol.

I was working on contacting him for your but he said you already reached out. He was great and the food was awesome. We also catered from veganista, for brunch one day and it was incredible as well.

Best Burgers Ever! - Edit
I’ve yet to find a vegan burger from them that I don’t like. Recently they’ve done a couple of burgers with truffle Mayo and it is impeccable. Their vegan chicken burgers are also incredible if they have them on the menu. Right now they’re doing a bunch of different pop-up events but it’s worth looking at their Instagram to find them. Easily the BEST vegan burgers on island.

Great Food and Service - Edit
The best place for fake meat burger or chicken sandwich! I had the Thick Ass burger and my wife had the Badass Chick'n Outlet. Both were above our expectations. The service was great! They got swamped with orders before we arrived, so the food came out late. But, they explained, apologized, and brought us out free mango-lemonaide.
Read morePros: Good local food made vegan! , Great caring service , Local owned and operated
Cons: A bit pricey, Only open Fri & Sat 10:00-3:00

Decadence thy name is Badass Burgers - Edit
Once in a blue moon why not bow to the other side and eat something purely delicious and decadent? Healthy? No. As tasty as hell? Yes!
Read moreI had the Korean chicken sandwich with mayo, tomato lettuce and kimchi on a brioche bun. Scrumptious. My daughter had the chicken plate with rice. The battered deep fried chicken is made with thin, large mushrooms. Absolutely great.
Pros: Delicious decadent , Great options, Absolutely phenomenal service and attitude!
Cons: The Hawaiian plate has limited availability

Not recommended - Edit
Great customer service. Had the chicken sandwich and bad ass fries with vegan ranch sauce. Nothing special about fries, just regular fries but I enjoyed having ranch sauce on them. The chicken sandwich was ok, I did not like the Chipotle sauce or the cheese. The sandwich is very large so ask to cut in half. Over all I was more impressed with their customer service than the food. The sandwich was over powered with the sauce and lack flavor. I taste more oil that it was fired in, instead of the plant based chicken
Read morePros: Good customer service
Cons: No parking, No straws

Best Vegan Hawaiian Food ! - Edit
I will literally never forget the amazing food I ate at bad ass burgers. I pre ordered my food 3 hours ahead of time so I could pick it up when I was ready & I didn’t risk missing out if they sold out. My boyfriend and I got the sweet Korean chicken. The food was so CRISPY & FLAVORFUL. Pick up only , they will curbside deliver.
Read morePros: Fully vegan , Authentic Hawaiian food made vegan
Cons: Parking sucks , Can sell out before closing

Amazing place - Edit
The food was incredible. It was the type of indulgent, flavored, comforting type of vegan food that made us savor every bite. The meats were so juicy and flavorful, and the sides were just as great (especially the potato salad!)!! Really generous helping, too. They had peanut butter cookies for dessert, and they basically melted in your mouth.

Worth the price - Edit
Truly delicious burgers/plates. We were initially shocked to see the price along with the long wait. However, once we received the food our stress went away - the portion sizes are massive and the food is incredible. I had the sweet chicken plate and it was the best chicken I have ever had.
