12 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Hanalei

1 Bar Acuda

4.5 Superb 419 Reviews

5-5161 Kuhio Highway, Hanalei

“There's not a whole lot of choices on the North Shore but this tapas restaurant is one of the best places to eat on the entire Island. Very pricey but expected for Kauai and this level of cuisine. Everything we tried was excellent and I don't doubt the entire menu is a hit as this kitchen has got skills. Note that the inside with all the hard surfaces is one of the loudest restaurants I've been in in recent memory. The tables on the Veranda are a lot quieter and I prefer the open air atmosphere. Only reason to skip this place is if a water view is a must. The territorial mountain view from some tables is still great. I'm skipping food photos this time as they don't give you taste, smell or feel which are 3 of the 4 senses in eating which a photo is worthless for.”

“Food truck area. Main food area was a zoo in the evening. Tried wandering a little further and found this place. Much better tasting than the other options, reasonable price, and more quiet. Would highly recommend over waiting in the long lines. Fish curry is really good! Would recommend. Don’t recommend the shrimp vindaloo, but it’s not bad.”

“The vegetable of the night was cauliflower. Undercooked hard . The swordfish was very good . My husband had the steak with mushrooms and a dab of sweet potato.. Not the most tender. That was the plates. No bread basket to fill.We won't be back here again. Plus horribly expensive and we have dined all over our country.”

8 AMA Restaurant

4.1 Good 295 Reviews

5-5161 Kuhio Hwy, Hanalei

“Their authentic Japanese ramen bowls are perfectly seasoned and flavorful. We had the ramen with pork belly and they were delicious. They have lots of fun and yummy appetizers, our favorites were the bao buns and the brussel sprouts. The atmosphere is great and I highly recommend a reservation because the wait can be quite long.”

9 Pat's Taqueria

Black Pot Beach, Hanalei Pier, Hanalei

“I have been coming to Pat's Taqueria for over 10 years now, we make it a point to stop in every time. Highly convenient location at the Hanalei pier, its also a quick drive or walk down from Pine Trees, He'e street, or the pavilion if you choose to go there. Its a popular spot and the food truck is only so big so you have to wait and enjoy the surrounding views for a few moments, but that's not big deal as the anticipation of a fantastic taco makes it that much more delicious. I've had all of their tacos, you cant go wrong they are equally as phenomenal as the next. Any one that complains about price is nit picking because its 100% worth every penny.\n\nKeep on keeping on!”

“Being a Mexican food snob from Southern California I don't eat Mexican food outside the state. I was hungry and it seemed the best option where I was. So glad I took a chance. The owners are from.... So Cal. The food? The Bomb! I had arguably the best fish taco ever! If you're on the northern shores of Kauai DONT MISS IT!”

11 L&L Hawaiian Barbecue

“The food is exactly what you expect from L&L. Solid barbecue, done well, and just as good as any other L&L you’ve been to. They do run a more limited, modified menu here, though. That said, the location right in the center of Hanalei makes it worth the stop. Sitting there, hanging out, and just watching the flow of people through town is part of the experience. If you’re specifically looking for the full L&L menu, you’d probably be better off heading back to Kapaa where there are a couple of locations. But if you’re in Hanalei and want good barbecue in the middle of one of the best little towns on the island, it’s a great place to grab a bite.”

“We had lunch today and the service and food was amazing. The lady who waited on us was super friendly and gave us some history of the restaurant. We love the open air seating and all the chickens running around. We would recommend you try it! We had the orange chicken and drunken noodles. Big portions and the food was hot and fresh.”
