50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Aiea

“The. Uncles who run it are so sweet; great meat to rice ratio; delicious!

No dine-in within the restaurant, but there are several tables right outside.

The sun and moon with spicy mayo is one of my favourites.“

“Very small place with only 6 small tables and we got so lucky to get one of the tables for 4 people. The staff was friendly, fast and efficient. We had between all of us: Beef Pho, Summer rolls, Spring rolls and bbq chicken vermicelli. The food was amazing! And best tasting Pho broth ever!“

“The service and food here is absolutely fantastic! The Prime Rib Loco Moco, is the star of the show. I couldn’t finish, but thoroughly enjoyed, 10 ounces, of Prime Rib, over a bed of rice, with brown gravy, and 2 eggs, over medium, on top. Welcome to perfection on a plate. My friend said the fried chicken, was the best she had ever eaten. Next time, the Nutella pancakes, with banana, or should I get the tres leches, strawberry beignets….They are open 7-3 every day. They offer three different discount discounts Monday through Friday. Military, senior (62) or Early Bird. 7-8am. Be hungry. Enjoy!“

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

“recently visited Jackie's Diner, and it turned out to be a dependable neighborhood diner that captures the comfort and familiarity people expect from classic local breakfast and lunch spots. Located along Kamehameha Highway in Aiea, the restaurant has a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere that feels very much like a community gathering place. The space is straightforward and comfortable, with the kind of casual environment where regular customers and first-time visitors can both feel at ease.

The menu focuses on classic diner-style comfort food, with a strong emphasis on breakfast favorites and hearty plate-style meals. Items such as omelets, pancakes, fried rice, and other traditional diner staples make up much of the selection. The portions are generous and designed to be filling, which is typical of local diners that serve both residents and workers looking for a satisfying meal to start the day.

One of the highlights of the meal was the breakfast selection. The eggs were cooked properly, the pancakes had a light texture, and the savory dishes carried the familiar flavors that define classic diner cooking. While the presentation is simple, the focus is clearly on delivering consistent comfort food rather than elaborate plating.

Service during the visit was friendly and efficient. The staff maintained a welcoming attitude and helped keep the dining room moving at a comfortable pace. Diners like this often succeed because of their sense of familiarity and hospitality, and Jackie’s Diner maintains that approachable atmosphere well.

Another appealing aspect of the restaurant is the sense of community it creates. Many local diners become regular meeting places for residents, and Jackie’s appears to have that same role in the Aiea neighborhood. The environment encourages relaxed conversation and unhurried meals, which adds to the overall experience.

Overall, Jackie’s Diner delivers a solid and satisfying diner experience with dependable comfort food, generous portions, and welcoming service. It is the kind of place people return to for familiar flavors and a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere.“

“I've heard good things about this place for a while but the price has kept me away until one day I was like screw it let's try. It's takeout only by the looks of it but food came out relatively quick despite my place in line and lemme tell you portions on my combo plate was heaping. From the meat jun being perfectly seasoned and caked, the Teri beef being tender seasoned yet big, the sauce being a nice kick rather than shoyu like other places this place was a welcome hit. I'd happily try the rest of my haunts on their menu and while the price is steep the portions and flavor makes the dent in my lunch budget satisfying. Definitely a return spot for me and I assume you too!“

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

“Fantastic experience, the broth (we got Tonkatsu but they have nine other types) was amazing and roiling hot out of the kitchen. It's nice to be able to pick what goes into your ramen as often time at other restaurants there's always something that I'm not too big a fan of, or nothing enough of something I like. The sever was attentive and wonderfully friendly. After a tasty hot meal you get to cool down with a free shave ice dessert (with Ramen purchase) which, like everything else, was delicious. My partner got the thai tea and said it was great. For the price and the customization options, I can't recommend it enough.“

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

“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.“

“Lovely place for Italian food. The dishes are hearty and you will always leave with leftovers, just the portion sizes you're getting what you paid for. Food is served hot as it is prepared. The dishes usually come out at the same time or within a few minutes of each other. Too many great dishes for me to suggest, but my favorite puupuu (appetizer) would be the cheesy garlic bread..Servers are sweet and make sure you are taken care of, you are never forgotten here. Dessert lilkoi cheesecake..omg!! Not too big a restaurant so nice atmosphere for a date night, family get together, lunch meeting. We usually go after church.. must try guys!“

“I was excited to try this place after hearing lots of positive reviews. I was going to order online but was not pleased with the additional fees driving up the cost when the pizzas are already crazy expensive. We ended up going to order in person to avoid those fees only to be charged a 3% fee for using a credit card. Also the menu in person has higher prices than online. The pizza is huge and it is good but too expensive. $30 for a pepperoni pizza, $45 for specialty pizzas? Crazy to me!“

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

“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!“

“Convenient , tasty, and fast. You can't ask for more.“

“I’m gonna round up to five stars and give benefit of the doubt for other items. A bowl of Ramen is $15-$23. I feel like the portion size was very hearty. I had the black garlic Ramen with pork. The amount of pork was great for the bowl. They were open a little bit later till 10 PM which was nice coming in after a long flight. The lady who helped was friendly. I come here again.“

“Used to pick up a lot of orders for Door Dash from this restaurant but gave it a try myself today and glad I did! Food was delicious and all freshly made. I ordered the Tempura roll, Rainbow roll and Negi hama bento. The chef added an extra piece of fish on the Negi hama and a whole ahi roll for free! (Greatly appreciated). The free hot green tea is a nice touch also for sure. Will be back for sure the next time sushi calls to me.“

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

“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 😁“

“This food is EXCELLENT. Got #20: chicken and beef, with sides of seaweed, noodles, cabbage, bok choi, rice, gyoza. It was DELICIOUS. If my stay here was longer, I would be back for sure. The owner was so nice. He gave my sisters and I complementary mango drinks which were so fresh, real and delicious. Support this awesome business!“

“UPDATE: New Owners and new name: PHO LE: Vietnam Cuisine. This is not a fancy place, small little shop, with great food. Their Spring Rolls are just the way I like them...with mint, lettuce, pickled veg. And a great dipping sauce.Their phone number did not change. I called and to ask if they had indoor dining. We were the only ones there. I went back for take out. I am going to continue to patronize this business and encourage you do so too. Why? Because their food is too good to not make it in this pandemic.“

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

“Italian fine dining. Superb service in a serenely decorated restaurant. The food is excellent. From the antipasto to the salads to the main entrees. The lunch menu offers either a small or large portion. The small size is generous, I can’t imagine the large portion. Located in a local strip mall. Expect to pay $100+ for a lunch for two. Good place to come ‘to impress’.“

“Excellent Ramen and friend rice“

“Great meeting place with friends!“

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

“Absolutely love this place — the food tastes even better than I remember. I asked if the cooks in the back were the same crew, and they introduced me to a couple of the workers: one who’s been there over 30 years and another for 25 years. That kind of long-term dedication really shows. A lot of the staff even live just a couple minutes away in the houses right behind the restaurant, which says a lot about how much this place means to the community.
The ingredients have clearly stepped up too. The chicken is noticeably larger and juicier than before — everything just tastes fresher and more flavorful. Highly recommend.“

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

“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“

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

“We ordered Deep Fried Fish Fillet and a Ham and Egg Sandwich and it was excellent!!! However, we also ordered a Double BBQ Cheeseburger (Deluxe) and the meat was disgusting! It did not taste like hamburger meat and I have no idea what type of meat they used! I was so disappointed 😞“

“Everything is bomb and prices are so affordable - so impressed! My hands-down favorite is the Portuguese bean soup for $5. Better than Zippy's.

The Kona Coffee Gelato, chicken noodle soup, and fried rice with Portuguese sausage and over medium eggs are ono too! 😋“

“Great drinks 🍸 great food, great customer service“

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

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

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

“Ate there today.. best BBQ pork I’ve had here on Oahu. Hawaiian sauce was wonderful and baked beans were simmered with tiny pieces of jalapeños, had a slight delicious kick. Wedge salad… heavenly. i“

“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.“

“best ramen ever. You wont regret it.“

“Genki Sushi Pearlridge is one of our family’s favorite places to eat at the mall. The food is consistently good, the staff has always been friendly, and the ordering process is simple using the QR code at your table.

It’s a great option for families with young kids because you don’t have to order a large meal. Our 3-year-old enjoys the hoki fry, ebi fry, and French fries, so there are good choices even if your child isn’t ready for sushi yet. She also loves watching the food arrive on the train conveyor belt and pressing the button to send the train back after we take our plates.

The restaurant has high chairs, booster seats, and restrooms available, making it convenient for families.

One tip regarding the waitlist. If you save the QR link on your phone, you can even add your name to the queue before you arrive, which can save a lot of time during busy periods.“

“Food is surprisingly delicious for this place. My wife ordered the BBQ chicken and I got the bbq short rib. The portion sizes are huge, a mini is more than enough for one person. The chicken is juicy and incredibly flavorful and same for the short rib. The macaroni salad was also so good! My wife hates mayo and she loved it. The service was pretty meh, not bad not good, and atmosphere is close to a fast food joint. Overall if you’re looking for quick good food at a good price, this spot is for you.“

“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! 🤙🏼“

“The only reason I left off 1 star is because the owner or manager needs to take the time to update the prices on the menu but besides that the food was good. I got Ahi katsu so you can't really mess that up lol but the front register girl Miya was an absolute ray of sunshine. Super sweet and answered all my questions and entertained my small talk. Great customer service“

“My wife had this on her itinerary and it's amazing. Coming from California, the food tasted like home cooking. The oxtail soup and the garlic fried rice with the sausages was delicious.

Thank you so much for your hospitality and amazing food. It felt like home and tasted like home.“
