50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Ewa Beach

“Best hashbrowns - ever! Breakfast here is always the crowd pleaser. I’ve taken all my ohana here and everyone has been happy. Great menu, extensive sides, rice, mac salad, and no meat options for vegetarians - everything you’d expect on a breakfast menu and more. The best the coffee too!“

“Best red curry I ever had.“

“Was looking for a place to get tacos in Waipahu. This came up and the food was FRESH, tasty and beautifully plated! This will be a regular spot“

“Friendly and helpful server, food was awesome!“

“I just stumbled into this place as a tourist but it is a gem! All the food was delicious, fresh, and made to order by caring employees whom I assume were the owners. I had the bulgogi and ate off the plates of the people I was with and I wish I could try everything on the sizable menu.“

“The crew at this location is awesome!!!! They were slammed tonight, but they were literally skating and helping customers at the registers. They all kept their cool and were extremely professional even when customers were rude and impatient. I personally understand being short-handed during busy times, so I hold nothing against them. All I saw was 3 guys making it happen. Kudos to the young kid at the register!!!!!“

“ordered the eye-round steak and brisket pho along with the wafu steak, plus the tempura and sashimi add-on (which came with two shrimp, a few veggies, and five pieces of sashimi).

From the moment we sat down to the moment we left, we kept hearing the sound of sizzling plates coming from the kitchen, that’s the wafu steak, and it’s absolutely worth the noise. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite dish of the night, honestly even better than their pho, which was still very good.

While I probably wouldn’t come back specifically for the pho, I’d come back for that wafu steak any day. The restaurant stayed busy the entire time we were there, the staff did a good job keeping our waters full, and the place was decently clean despite the crowd.

Overall, great food, lively atmosphere, and that wafu steak alone makes this spot worth visiting.“

“I like the food here. We always stop here when I visit. The kids love gyoza's here but something changed and now they don't like it. I like the funness of ordering and the variety. The other day ordered a bento box it never came, so we cancelled it. But, we loved the cups they gave the kids. I liked the tempura, the corn dish, the tuna was rich this time, I also like the egg seaweed. But I did get up twice to get help, and also it could be cleaner, we were there at lunch.“

“Normally good service. Reasonably priced food. Medium priced. Good local favorites. One of the better loco mocos on the island“

“Food is so delicious and staff extremely helpful and attentive“

“We LOVEEEEE Egghead Cafe!!! Every time we come in they are so friendly, welcoming of my little ones, and quick! I've never had anything bad. Their coffee is delicious, my favorite is Tiramisu Latte! Definitely visit, it will be worth it!“

“If you want a good poke' place, look to Monarch Poke' ... this is one of the few places we frequent, we always grab Poke' Nachos here wether it be the garlic chili oil ahi and the furikake salmon Poke' Nachos, or just going for a simple California Poke' Bowl. They pack quite a punch to your hankering for food. As for me, my favorite thing to grab is their ube cheesecake. :)
So if you're in need of a good suggestion for poke' bowls other than your typical Foodland Poke' Bowls 🥣 this place is definitely on that map of suggestions. :D
As they have tables for you to enjoy your bowl and just relax for a while.“

“The taste of the food was so amazing and the service was outstanding. The price for what we ordered was so so so low! I could not believe it when I received the check! Hawaiian pancakes are a must!“

“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!“

“We are a couple visiting from Korea and stayed on the 11th floor of the Four Seasons to celebrate our first wedding anniversary.

Dinner at NOE was truly exceptional, and our server, Shawn, was outstanding.

Thanks to his gracious explanations and thoughtful attentiveness, my wife and I enjoyed a perfect evening.

Again, our sincere thanks to Shawn and the entire team.“

“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.“

“everything was delicious and very friendly staff!“

“Out of the way from Honolulu but worth the trip. Entertained from pick up to drop off. Performance was very well done. The dancing, food is amazing and the fire finale was the icing on the cake. The really make you feel like family and share their culture with you“

“Always love the food and service here. The fries are my favorite on the island!“

“Nice selection of traditional Hawaiian favorites at reasonable prices and generous portions!“

“There's not enough space to right the good things about this place. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and acknowledged by everyone, including the sushi chefs. Water and drink order is perfectly timed. Whether you order teishoku complete meals or sushi, the flavor and and portions are spot on. If you choose to sit at the sushi counter, the spread is just amazing. From white fish, tuna, to shellfish and sometimes even a fruit or plant to cleanse the pallet. I would recommend reservations as this place is always busy. Takeout is also very good!“

“Aunty and her employees are always so nice and welcoming. As the face of the restaurant, she doesn't disappoint with her constant smile and infectious laughter.

The restaurant has converted to an AYCE menu wich is reasonably priced and they kept their more famous appetizers on the menu as well.

Can't forget to save room for that shaved ice at the end!“

“When I have meetings in the Leeward area, I always stop by to get some deep fried manapua to bring!! They're now called Aloha Island Manapua, but their deep fried Manapua is still ono and their baked Manapua and dim sum is SOOO good. Their bentos are also super reasonable and their hot lunch selections so good. I recently got to try their sweet sour spare rib and it was so tender and tasty! Check them out. They cater too!“

“With this being my first time in Koa Pancake House, it's bustling and very busy, especially in the morning, like it's just about nearly a full House in here with how many people were seated.
Waited a bit to take pictures inside, but I was also very hangry (hungry and angry) because I didn't eat first thing in the morning and that was my fault. So my fiance suggested we go Koa Pancake house since it's near my parents place and we were staying over to help them out.
I love the food here, cuz obviously you get to choose from breakfast styled plates, and like most foods, it's delicious, it's just a hawaiian styled resturaunt. :)
But I would definitely come here again for breakfast. Oh yes! And they have outdoor seating as well! Along with A/C in the building.
My only gripe, is that I don't like the paper plates. Even though, I understand that saves on washing plates and creates more trash to just easily throw out for in and out service of a quick bite to eat and leave.
But that's minor comparatively. The service here is also nice and quick and I do suggest this as a place to stop by and eat.
Especially if you were like me and craving for a breakfast meal. :3
Please come try the local Koa pancake house! 🥞 🏠“

“Every time I come in and can’t think of what I want to ask the staff to surprise me and they never fail to impress me. All the staff are so sweet and every single drink I’ve gotten seems like they really put a lot of effort into making it! Thank you for making my day!“

“Fresh fruit bubble tea! Watermelon w/ boba is the best during this hot summer season!“

“Denny’s Kapolei has friendly staff and give great service all hours of the day ! One of the few place open late and that is awesome! Prices are decent and burgers are fantastic !“

“Always come here when we visit Hawaii. It's a very busy place but the staff is friendly and they try to seat you quickly. The cooks also work hard and try to get your food out quickly. The menu variation is awesome and each dish I tried was Onolicious.“

“Delicious pizza friendly service“

“best place to eat. must try the bimbimbap“

“By far one of the best meals my family and I ever had. The canoe appetizer was off the charts and the meals were even better. The ahi tuna and both the 16 is cab steak and the wagyu A-5 6oz was incredible and the desserts were even better. Highly recommend“

“there soup is onolicious“

“My first time trying this Vietnamese restaurant. I went during off hours, so plenty of parking and I was the only customer.

The menu is extensive typical of a Vietnamese restaurant, but I am here to try the Pho. The broth is very light, but beefy. Not too sweet. But its missing the essence of the spices, like the cinnamon, star anise, cloves, coriander seeds, cardamom and fennel. Also the smokiness of the onions and ginger. I just prefer my pho broth to be heavier on the spices. But I still enjoyed it. The rice noodles was perfect, and the meat toppings is a little on the stingy side. Also only one size bowl.

I also tried the Summer Rolls with BBQ Pork. It was just average to me. Service was good, attentive and refilled my water when needed. Came to check on me a couple of time. My Mom called me while eating and I ended up ordering the Chicken Pho for take out for my Mom.

They did get busier after I sat down with mostly take out orders.

I will definitely come back again. I like the convenience of satisfying my Pho cravings and I don't have to drive to downtown/Chinatown.“

“Great food and great service!“

“Clean, Warm & Friendly Great service Amazing drinks“

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

“The best tacos that I have been able to find in Oahu. The only downside is it is hard to park there. But definitely worth it. This is a hidden treasure. Had the carne asada tacos and habenero salsa, so very good. Absolute must go if looking for a good and reasonably priced place to get tacos.“

“They had GOOD WAIT Services , FOOD WAS AUTHENTIC & DELICIOUS!!!I WILL RECOMMEND TO ALL MY FAMILY & FRIENDS TO DINE THERE!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏AWESOME COOKS & RECIPES!!!“

“The Best Thai spot on the side of the island. Very friendly staff, working out of a small, nice and clean restaurant, serving excellent food with quick turn around time.

Great portions for the price too! If you want some good Thai come check this place out“

“Loved the BEAST eggs Benedict, pancake flight, and furikake spam and eggs plate! Huge portions for a great price! Definitely worth the drive from town, but be prepared to wait if it’s crowded! This place is popular for a good reason—great food and great service!☺️“

“I’ve been coming here for six years, and while the food hasn't changed, the crowds have definitely grown. I was surprised to see it packed on a Tuesday night with people waiting outside.

​The atmosphere and service are fairly standard. Because they were in a rush, the staff missed some food crumbs on the seats and didn't wipe the table thoroughly. We ordered quickly to beat the rush from the group behind us.

​As for the food, the bone-in fried chicken is always a winner—tender, moist, and crispy. The Pad Thai is actually one of the closest versions I've had to 'real' Thai food (told by thai friend). I personally didn't care for the spring rolls or the beef in the green curry (I prefer chicken), but that’s just a preference.

Everything we ordered feed 3 adults and 1 child.

​Prices are standard for Hawaii Thai spots. For spice, 'Medium' is my limit—it’s definitely an 'American Medium,' not 'Thai Medium.' I'll be back, though the parking setup and the location are a bit of a hassle.“

“This is one of the few places where the food is still 💣 even for takeout! I love coming here, especially for the Spicy Tuna & Udon combo — such a great deal! I also can’t get enough of the Chicken Karaage and Squid Karaage. These four dishes are my go-tos every time.

I usually order takeout because there’s always a line to dine in (which says a lot about how good it is!). Definitely recommend this spot — you won’t be disappointed!“

“Grinds for sure!!! Take out only but ONO!“

“The best Italian food you will find on the entire island— just go. My family and I have been coming here for nearly a decade. Their service NEVER disappoints— they are a family owned business and they are seriously the kindest, most friendly people ever. Everything from the freshly made complimentary bread and butter, to their delicious house salad, to the many main dishes and pastas they have— are all nothing short of spectacular. I would eat here every single day if I could!
I don’t like Alfredo pasta but this is the only place I’ll consider eating Alfredo pasta of any kind. It’s just THAT good! You won’t regret coming here, the best Italian food in all of Hawai’i, without a doubt. Couldn’t rave about this place enough.“

“Great Kahlua Pig and Huli Huli Chicken. Great Show. Big Kahuna Approved!🤙🏻“

“Of you like a casual setting, this is ideal. Nice and quiet by today's restaurant standards. It's a BYOB place, which I love. The staff is super friendly, professional, and enthusiastic about the food. The food is superb. My favorite is the hen. We brought a vegetarian friend one night and because they make everything to order they are extremely accommodating. They'll serve any dish as you like it. Try to save room for dessert - their pastries are crazy good. Really wonderful experience!“

“The vegetarian tacos were so good, and the staff were lovely. Would definitely recommend this place if you‘re in the area!“

“Warm and friendly staff with tasty food, a perfect combo!“

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

“Food was good. Sevice was pretty quick. Prices seems good for island prices, although my Midwestern sensibilities are out of calibration here. There were plenty of adventurous choices in the way of single slices, but I went the safe bet with pepperoni and sausage. Decor was specifically on theme with the overall Boston motif. However I personally refuse to acknowledge 2004 and 2013 on the Red Sox World Series banner hanging on the wall. 😉“
