50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Aiea

“This is my go-to spot after I get my hair cut at nearby Major League barber shop. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. I've had the pollo asada and the chorizo & egg tacos, both with rice and beans. 🤤 This is a Veteran/family owned business that takes their food creations and customer relations seriously. It is also SoCal Mex based flavor-wise and takes me back to the neighborhood taco shops in L.A. and San Diego. I look forward to eventually trying everything on the menu.“

“Hands down the best pho I’ve ever had! I’ve tried multiple spots on the island, but I always find myself coming back here. The flavors are unmatched, fresh, and comforting every single time. The seating inside is a little limited, so there can be a wait, but it’s always 100% worth it. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming, and they do their best to get you seated quickly. Easily my favorite spot for pho!“

“best place to eat. must try the bimbimbap“

“Food and service excellent - we would go back again.“

“The ambiance is superb, I highly recommend this restaurant, the food was amazing and the service was fantastic.“

“Best Thai on the island. Always hot, perfect spice level. Great customer service.“

“I think I’d lowkey boycott Pearl ridge if they boot this restaurant.

I used to work at this mall across from this plot, and Pearl ridge used to lease this plot to all kinds of different restaurants. I was never really interested in trying Lassons but my mother asked me to meet her here for lunch one time. That was all it took for me to constantly think about this place and their food. I kept coming back and kept coming back for more I still can’t stop coming back here. I had the pleasure of meeting who I think was the owner and let me tell you he’s the nicest most generous restaurant owner I’ve ever met!! Encouraged me to try other things on the menu I didn’t even THINK I’d like everything is hands down amazing, I’m not a pork eater but he asked me to “just try” the spicy pork and holy SHIT my eyes rolled to the back of my head it was so good!!!!! Definitely a hidden Gem and as long as Pearl ridge keeps leasing to them ima keep coming back 🤍🤍🤍🙏🏼“

“EVERYTHING! Was greeted and sat very quickly. The server was nice and friendly“

“My husband and I spent 24 hours in Honolulu and discovered this wonderful Thai Bistro! The service was very friendly and attentive to our preferences. We ordered spring rolls, brown rice, Penang chicken curry, and green curried chicken. Oh, the flavors were perfectly blended! It’s the best Thai food we’ve had outside of Thailand. We highly recommend Thai Bistro Suksabay!“

“Food was all right. Service was top notch for a small family-owned restaurant. Ordered the chicken satay which was quite savory. An interesting way of doing the peanut sauce. Not as sweet as other places back it on the mainland. Ordered the the drunken noodle Thai spicy, but couldn't get the spiciness I wanted. But the seafood in it was well done and tasty“

“Met Dee today when we stopped in for her delicious candy apples and chocolate dipped strawberries.She is an absolute sweetheart! Everything was so amazing! Apples and strawberries were fresh and we’re so beautiful I didn’t want to eat them. I’m down in Las Vegas on vacation and I’m definitely gonna stop before I leave back home.“

“I cannot believe it took me over SEVEN years on island to finally eat here—like, how did I miss this?! This spot in Aiea is a total hidden gem and exactly what I’ve been craving ever since my trip to Singapore. It’s similar to mala tang in that you get to pick your own veggies, meats, seafood, etc. to build your soup. The broth options are a little different though—no mouth-numbing mala like you’d find at YGF Mala Tang—but honestly, I didn’t mind one bit.

The spicy pumpkin soup base was perfection: creamy, flavorful, with just the right kick. It didn’t overwhelm my palate or leave me feeling heavy, and it tasted cleaner (less oily) than other broths I’ve tried. If you’re into creamy soups, the pumpkin base is a must-try!

Service was solid too. They refilled my water without me asking and even let me choose my seat (I was the first customer before the evening rush lol). The space was roomy, spotless, and you can tell it’s a true mom-and-pop operation—genuine care for both the food and the customers.

I’m already planning to come back this week because I cannot stop thinking about that pumpkin soup.

Oh, and if soup isn’t your thing (or if Hawaii’s heat has you craving something else), they’ve got chicken katsu with curry, stir fry, and other specialty dishes too.

VISIT. Seriously.“

“Great pizza place. You'll get a quarter of a pizza which ends up being about 2 slices for about $11 depending on which pizza you get with different toppings. You'll get to choose and they'll reheat it up for you in the pizza oven.

Quick, easy, and tasty. Highly recommend if you are craving pizza.“

“This has to be one of the best Italian restaurants that have ever eaten in.
There is plenty of hot bread and butter but EVOO to dip the bread in.
The food and gravy taste homemade.
They offer full or small plates on most dishes.
Being raised in an Italian household with a mom who was a tremendous cook, this place is a close second.
Highly recommend this out of the way place.
Reservations aren't required, but on the weekends, highly recommended.“

“Love Teddie's best burger 🍔 in Hawaii“

“food filled me up definitely should try at some point“

“Food 5 ⭐️ portion is great, tasty, broth is clean and light.
Service 5 ⭐️ very attentive and accommodating.
Atmosphere 5 ⭐️chill, I feel relaxed eating, and they have working ac.
Must try their oxtail pho! Oxtail has a lot meat and pcs. So far I have not had highblood when I finish my oxtail pho which is good that’s why I keep coming back. I know that when I finish my bowl I won’t have any problems (but that’s my experience). Pho Time is my go to for oxtail pho, bun bu hue, and pho in general.

*i’m not sponsored or paid in any shape of form. Just a loyal customer who loves their food 😁“

“Staff was very courteous and professional- great service and good value along with the value Overall a great place for a pretty healthy dinner“

“Amazing Ice Cream and the staff was very friendly and helpful! Love this place!! Highly recommend to everyone!!!🌸☺️“

“Delicious one of a kind toppings“

“I came here with two of my girlfriends for a very anticipated late night dinner after a long day. We all liked our food— I ordered the vegetable ramen with miso broth, my friend got the spicy pork ramen, and my other friend got the tonkatsu— the portions were good, price was good, and the service was stellar. They played a small game with me at the end after I paid for the check, where I won a bar of soap & I thought that was so cool and a cute way to end the meal!!!! I would definitely come back here again. One of the few places open late on this side of the island as well!“

“​Mamaya continues to be a go-to spot for good-quality, reasonably priced bentos. One of the best perks is that (if I recall correctly) any purchase around $10 or more comes with a free bottle of water. They also offer a punch card loyalty program—though I unfortunately lost mine with three stamps on it!

The shop is clean and well-organized. You start on the right side and walk around the displays to select your bento. The service is consistently friendly, and depending on the day or occasion, they’ve even been known to give out a free single spring roll with your meal.
​
They have a massive variety of bentos to choose from, with white and multi grain rice options available, ranging from classic local favorites to more traditional Japanese styles. On this visit, I went with the Chicken Katsu-don. For right around $10, the portion and quality were excellent. It’s definitely worth the price.
​
Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a reliable dinner to take home, Mamaya is a fantastic value. Just try not to lose your punch card like I did!

Note: This is a strict grab-to-go restaurant. There are no tables and chairs to hangout.“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid and it is always great.“

“There was a wonderful koi pond in this restaurant. It was not that busy. However, they seemed shorthanded because I kept looking for the waitress for a take out box. Finally, I had to stand up and ask for one from a man in a red shirt who appeared to be helping another table. The food was good. I especially liked the tempura of pumpkin, and string beans, the shrimp tempura was perfect. I ordered miso Butterfish. My husband liked it, but I did not like that it had a lot of black char on it. I read somewhere that the black Char is carcinogenic.“

“The staff are wonderful and my twins 👯‍♀️ got to order pizzas to bake at home 🏠 it made them really happy“

“We eat here at least twice a month. Food is always fresh and service is normally fast and friendly. The restaurant is fun and you order from your mobile device and the food is delivered via a train system that runs along the tables. I feel the prices are fair and they have the best French fries! Only complaint would be that this location is always very busy and we usually have to wait 15-30 minutes for a table.“

“Good food..fair amount & a decent cost. 👍🏻“

“We love Aloha Salads❤️ The Salads are wonderful. We eat in Hawaii all the time!“

“Great place, better than most in Waikiki. Well worth trying out. The food was excellent and service was the best we have seen in a long time on island. Wife had the Chefs Special of Veal and Shrimp in caper wine sauce, I had Veal With marsala and mushroom sauce. Both delicious and well prepared. I highly recommend Paisanos!

The one downside is for the older hostess, she first tried to seat us in the back facing the toilets. That's always going to be a no go. The place was nowhere near full so ...in most restaurants; if the place isn't full, those are the last seats to fill, that almost set the tone for this review. Because usually first impressions are everything. Otherwise we had the best table service we've had on island in over 20 years. Bonus, the food was great too.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“Went here with a couple friends for the first time and it is fairly expensive, looking at the prices, luckily the lead of the bridal party was paying since she made the reservation, otherwise this is one place I wouldn't have been able to touch for a while. As for the food, it's good. It's just your simple hot pot, we went for the basic ichiriki soup base with the PorkZilla Nabe.“

“I was really surprised how big these are. Not complaining, it's a great value. Then it actually ended up being pretty good. Not the best I've ever had, I mean Jersey Mike's is probably better, but it is certainly better than Subway“

“Saw a review of this place on YouTube and I had to come and try it for myself. To be honest, it did not disappoint. It reminds me of an old diner like style that reminds me of a vintage restaurant. It also reminds me of my family's restaurant back home where most people go for the one special dish. There special dish is their ox tail soup and I can definitely say that it is amazing. Of course this is my opinion, but it has amazing flavor and taste! Would love to bring my family here and most definitely would eat here again. Service was pretty good and the place gets very busy. We had a little wait until we were seated but overall it was worth the wait. Would recommend this place to anyone that would like home style cooked food.“

“Fantastic restaurant and experience with plentiful and great tasting authentic Vietnamese cuisine! They were kind enough to seat our party of five near their closing time! Big Kiné Mahalo and we’ll certainly be back again real soon! 🤙🏼“

“Uncle’s Fish Market Bar & Grill was a nice, relaxed stop for us. When we walked in, it wasn’t very crowded, which made the atmosphere feel calm and laid back.

We ordered the ahi trio as an appetizer, and it was really good, a great way to start the meal. Our food did take about 30 minutes to come out, but we didn’t mind too much since we had a couple of drinks while waiting.

Speaking of drinks… they were strong 😅 (I forgot the exact names, but they definitely did the job). Overall, good food, solid drinks, and a chill vibe. Worth checking out if you’re in the area and not in a rush.“

“YUMMY 😋 YUM! fast service and food is always 👌 😋 🔥 💯“

“servings is big and full filling“

“Mom got taco shell chicken salad and I got Chicken Quesadilla. Very tasty, super fresh ingredients. Staff was very friendly and helpful when talking to my 80+ y/o mom. Absolutely recommend.“

“I lived in Korea for six years. It’s hard to find that perfect beef and leaf joint you remember from your Sam gyup sal days in Korea, but this place can do it.#1. The staff is great. I enjoy seeing them every time I go.#2. They have the soju, the Korean beer, the makgeolli.#3 The BBQ is on point, the sides are delicious and the kimchi is always great.If someone doesn’t like this place, then they don’t like real Korean food. Plain and simple.“

“Good food, pretty yummy. Ordered the egg fu yung, the sweet and sour chicken, and beef chow fun. Nice plentiful portions . We also ordered rice too. Good size portions of rice. All tasted yummy. They do take out too. Support local and small businesses!!“

“Very friendly staff! Located in Aiea if you want Mexican food to wait for traffic to die down..
You get free fresh chips & salsa. Pictured is the carne asada burrito with no beans & salad instead. Food came out quick & was delicious!“

“BLAINE MORIOKA,

today we spent lunch at Big City Dinner and had such a wonderful experience. Everyone was very friendly, especially Blaine Morioka. The food was delicious and the staff was incredible. We were even blessed with UH Volleyball Tickets. Thank you Big City Dinner for such a great experience and delicious meals. We will definitely be back🤙“

“Pizza was great, Awesome deals, Great and wide variety of options to choose from. So much great things and places located in pearlridge mall but Sbarro would be my favorite one. Especially their customer service person working the counter . Shout out to Jash who made our visit their most memorable and plan to come back often“

“Best Italian food on the Island. We have been going to Bravos for 35 years and have never been disappointed. The fried mozzarella is so ono.“

“The meal was exceptional, offering both outstanding flavor and great value. The portions were generous, allowing us to turn one dinner into two satisfying meals. Adding to the experience, two charming older women provided an impromptu musical performance, transforming the evening into a delightful combination of dining and entertainment. It was truly a memorable experience, and I will undoubtedly return for more.

“I was told to wait ten minutes because of a ten drink online order. So I waited and it was 4 minutes. I ordered the waffle bowl because of a special on my app. However, I did not notice any advertising on the menu board. When my order was ready, the server placed it down and walked away. I had to get my napkins and spoon by myself. Good thing I didn't tip ahead and it's the reason I won't tip ahead on my next visit.“

“This location is the best!! All the ladies are very welcoming and fast. The produce is so crisp every time & the bread is always fresh, I always see them baking. the store is so clean and just makes you want to sit down to enjoy your food in the store. They are one of the only locations that honor coupons, and always have amazing deals! Fantastic ?“

“Authentic Mexican Food. Absolutely delicious“

“Yummy ..😋😋😋 Waimalu Chop Suey is located at Waimalu Shopping Center.“

“the best pizza place need a little bit training to crew need better relationships to clients n crew on how to serve clients. but that's normal“
