50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Aiea

“This is a literal hole in the wall, easy to miss in a covered parking lot near the McDonald’s. There’s outdoor seating, pretty much right in the parking lot.

Food quantity is high and the sushi rolls have some of the lowest ratios (in a good way) of rice to non-rice. The fried food was very good, not too greasy with a great crunch and the food tasted very fresh.

Service was exceptionally friendly. The nice man that took our order and served us even brought out some free bottles of water for us.

I love finding places like this that feel like it’s locals, for locals.“

“Love this place.
I've been pho hopping on island to find the best and authentic pho place!

this was my 5th pho spot on Oahu and the best one so far!!!!!! PERIOD!

Not mixed with other food like chinese or thai etc.

Staffs are super friendly as well!!

Dont miss out this place!!!

Only cons : It's very small place.
- needs more A/C when it's packed.

Hope their business goes well and have bigger restaurants soon! Mahalo!

Kid-friendliness: have high chair
offer extra bowl for baby“

“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.“

“Delicious food! The gravy for my country fried steak was absolutely delicious. Whenever we vacation back in Oahu, we will definitely come back. Such a comfortable and clean restaurant.“

“Stopped by because I live nearby. I noticed that this place has great reviews so I wanted to try it. I was not disappointed. Ordered the Chicken Marsala large pieces of chicken over pasta. Very delicious. Fast and friendly service. This place doesn't disappoint. Go check them out.“

“Absolutely wonderful! Great food... outstanding service!“

“😁👍 Xxxxxxx cxxxxxxxxxx c. X. X. X. X. Xxxxx xxx. X. Xx“

“Yes its a wait and yes its gone up like all tings in price, but Its THE BEST lol. I've ate ever burger on this island in the last 3 years. This THE BEST ! I'll take the wait and the smile i get while. (The people there are Rad- Supper nice)“

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

“I sat at a table after a few minutes. If I had been okay with the counter I could have sat immediately. A nice, pleasant location. Had the Chicken Pot Pie with salad and grilled cornbread. Also had Coke Zero. Place was fairly busy but not overly so. Staff was moving to and fro but was reasonably attentive.
They still have the 7/8 AM to 3 PM restaurant hours depending on the day. Breakfast all day and they have a lunch menu. I was quite happy with my visit.“

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

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

“Small casual hometown restaurant with excellent hawaiian plates and my favorite poke bowl, 2 scoops Wasabi Furikake Salmon with crab salad, kalua pork, and cucumber kimchi! Great people, great atmosphere and among the best food options on the island! Always worth a stop at Jackies!“

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

“Beers always great but at special 25% off growlers … priceless!“

“Top-tier pizza in Hawaii. Boston’s North End Pizza Bakery in Aiea hit the spot. This place serves up seriously high-quality pies that rival most places I’ve had on the mainland. Grab a slice or go all-in on a massive 19” pie.

The crust is perfectly crispy yet chewy, the sauce is bursting with flavor, and the generous toppings take it to the next level.

Huge shout out to Julie and the rest of the amazing staff.

They’re open every day of the week, so it’s always a good time to stop by. Perfect for any occasion -
family dinners, game nights, whether you’re feeding a crowd or just treating yourself. Five star East Coast Pizza in Hawaii, no question.“

“Food is always delicious 🤤“

“Found this place on Reddit for good local recommendations. This is a tiny place where you never go in. You order take out ahead of time or right at the opened door. It seems to be super popular and well known and the award stickers in the window can probably attest to that.

The staff is very kind and the service was quite quick.

We had the kal bee and meat jun combination plate. We had no clue that meat jun was a beef fritter so we were going in blind. Both meats were sweet and were very tasty, but I think I would lean towards the meat jun if I had to only choose one. The sauce dripped into the rice below the meats and even made that taste better. The salads that come with the meal also were given some love instead of just plain cabbage being served.

Overall, my only negative is the place was quite pricy. Yes it’s Hawai’i so the cost is higher than the mainland, yes it short-ribs, but the inflation seems to have hit here pretty hard. Everything else about this place deserves high praise.“

“best place to eat. must try the bimbimbap“

“Was highly recommended by v my girlfriend who lives in Aiea! traveling from Mililani high tailed it here 20 minute commute! Love their menu Japanese & Vietnamese my two favorites in one place!
Ordered the oxtail pho! large portions 6 or so pieces of juicy flavorful oxtails! The broth was awesome..!! I will be back next week!“

“I randomly decided to try out this place and I got the Garlic Chicken plate. The chicken was cooked very well and the service was super fast (I was there at 9 PM). From walking in the ambiance was honestly not there. I feel like if this place had a good feel when you walked in, it could be top tier. I would've given it 4.5 stars if it was possible because it was missing just a little bit of flavor, but I understand that it is primarily a ramen restaurant. I will definitely try it again!“

“Good service, great Japanese food for that side of the island.“

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

“The food is always good. Our favorites are the fried chicken, lao sausage, and cashew nut chicken. Sometimes, there's only one server, but they are very polite and efficient and not the kind that get grumpy because they're the only one on the floor.“

“This is the perfect hidden food place that locals go to. Good food, good prices and the service is practically non existent. Meaning, it's 99% take out. There is a small table outside but that's why it's cool. No nonsense food at a good price. I highly recommend the Bento #1, the Katsu and the fried chicken.

Parking: The parking is hard to find but if you wait for a few minutes someone will leave.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent oxtail soup, great portions, but a bit pricey. They give lots of cilantro and ginger for the soup making it that much better. Yummm!

Parking: Fair sized lot but with all the different shops, it can get very busy and finding parking can be a challenge.“

“Ok so as far as we were from Italy. The food was pretty good! The atmosphere was pretty old-fashioned in a romantic way. But for the love of God take a rag to the wall, the spaghetti slurpers painted a banksy mural of sauce droplets on the walls. Glad I noticed after I finished eating.“

“would I recommend Kehau's kitchen!?!?! hell yah!!!! they are awesome people and the food is ONO!!!!! You will definitely leave super full and satisfied! my all time favorite place to eat Hawaiian food ❤“

“The environment was perfect for date night and the food was delicious. The portion sizes were perfect for me and my husband who has a big appetite. I have no complaints. The service was excellent and the owner was very kind and went out of his way to make accommodate us.“

“Delicious Southern comfort food!! I’ll definitely be back!!“

“Great place for comfort food of ramen and fried rice and gyoza. Owner is really friendly as well.

Parking: Can get very busy as times, but going early allowed for lots of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor, so no stairs to deal with. Handicap stalls are close to their front door.“

“We came here on a Monday when they happened to be open. First time customers. We ordered Kimchi fried rice, meat jun and chicken katsu combo, and meat jun fried mandoo combo. Everything was very good, good flavors, perfectly cooked. We recommend!“

“The service here is exceptionally friendly, and the food is delicious. The restaurant isn't usually crowded, which makes dining in a pleasant and relaxing experience. The staff were very kind and attentive. If you are looking for a quick and satisfying sushi meal, Ninja Sushi in Pearl City is an excellent choice!“

“We got the chop steak kit a few days ago. It came with everything we needed to prepare the dish even the oil. We had enough for 2 dinners and we truly enjoyed it. Lots of veggies, the way we like it and the meat was plentiful and tender. It was so tasty. We look forward to making future purchases of different dishes. The kits are wonderful since we can’t go to the grocery store too often.“

“Great food and service was great. When I come back to Hawaii I’ll be coming back. Great job guys!!!“

“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. 👍🏻“

“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.“

“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! 🤙🏼“

“It’s still taste the same when it first open till now…..gooooddddd!!!“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“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.“

“Good local place, from my experience it's a little crowded on the weekends and some week night evenings. Overall not back, service can be slow when they are packed but that is the same for any place. Decent food, but there's better in the area.

I would say stop in for drinks, eat some place else.

If you are middle aged the aunties are here looking for action. Every time I go in there on the weekends there are lonely aunties dressed to impress.

Enjoy!“

“Service here is to notch, always a smile, and very helpful. Many businesses can learn from these people how to treat customers. Parking can be tough at times depending on the size of your vehicle be aware. Come early to make sure your favorite foods are available. Everything is made fresh and delicious. Be patient. The line can be long, but no worries, it moves fast. I always try to get my childhood favorite, layered rice cake.“

“Absolutely outstanding! This Korean restaurant exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was simply phenomenal - every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and beautifully presented. The kimchi was perfectly fermented, the bulgogi was tender and savory, and the bibimbap was a delightful mix of textures and tastes. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were very reasonable for the quality of the food. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic and delicious Korean dining experience. Five stars all the way!“

“The food was good. Ordered basics, tamale and quesidilla. Took a while to be satvand service was subpar. Probably would only be back as a call in but even they were waiting around a while. Two servers on a Saturday night. Not a big place but maybe an additional person would help with the delay.“

“Tonight we went to Uncle figuring on having a couple of cocktails . When we heard that they had changed some of the items on the menu we decided to have dinner.
We started out with their Caesar Salad which was huge and so fresh . Followed by their Seafood Chowder. I got to tell you I’ve had the chowder before but this time it was so much better. Lots of flavor and so generous with the clams and fish. I told Melissa ( our waitress ) what did they do to it ? She said they make the soup to order. That’s when we looked around the room and every table was having soup. Can’t wait to go back to have it again.
I’m a French Fries fanatic so had to try their Truffle Fries .oh man! I had to eat it slow cause I wanted to savor each bite.
Now if your a Fish person I say you got to try their Blackened Fish tonight it was Opakapaka. Man that fish just melted in my mouth. I had such a big smile on my face. Told my friend “ man, you got to try this. I was sorry to do that cause she had to have more. Being such a good friend as I am I said help yourself( ( mistake one became two , then three times) But, it was ok cause the portion was so big I had plenty more even had to take home for my lunch tomorrow.
Hey, I got to tell you the staff over there was just like family. Melissa our server was one riot . She had us rolling all night. She was the best! You like laugh look for her. You not going stop laughing.
The only disappointment was that we were so full that we couldn’t have dessert. Next time I’m going to start with dessert.
I suggest that you treat yourself and go check them out . They are under new management. I have to say from a point of view of a person that have worked in the food industry for over 20 years that Uncles has tipped the scales. From the chef to the front house crew they now have the passion and it shows, in their food So you guys out there give them a try!
Life is to short , go out there and enjoy yourself. God knows we all deserve to treat ourselves now and then.“
