50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Honolulu

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!“

“Very good food.“

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。“

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.“

“Great food and great staff!“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.“

“Visiting from Texas we were looking for some authentic Asian food and came across this gem! We absolutely loved the food. The service was superb with them spoiling us. The tempura was light, but with great flavor, including the various salt options. The food was filling and worth the stop! Great place to visit and go back again!“

“Vegan bento box - I'm in love!!! Incredibly delicious, so are the "chicken" tacos. Please open a restaurant on the Big Island!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Excellent food with a really creative menu. Malia always makes the best plated presentations.“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.“

“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!“

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))“

“I am foodie from Japan, enjoy once or twice a month hotel buffet in Tokyo. But Orchids Sunday branch menu was the best ever. Not only does it taste good, but it also tastes good, fine scenery, number and placement of staff and their diligence noteworthy.“

“A date of mine is vegan and recommend we try this place and off we went. While parking is a pain I understand it given the lack of space in town but if the you don't miss the lot and it's not packed it's not bad but if it's either of the former and especially the latter it's gonna be a pain especially without backup cameras and sensors. Overall the food made up for it. Despite the hole in the wall vibe I got it his place had quite an expansive menu and I loved the variety in genres of food on offer. We ended up splitting everything which was: gyoza, puttanesca pasta, and chicken pesto masala. All of which tasted amazing with good texture and seasoning which is what I think is needed in a place especially with no meat on the menu. Everything came out fast, was big and made us quite content. Where I have a slight problem with is the pricing. The entrees were each $21 bucks and while heaping I do wish it was at least 17-19 instead those couple bucks make a difference over time. Though I'd definitely give this place a go moving forward to try out the rest of the menu. Places like this make me hopeful more people will give the diet a good go as it haves much more benefits than just the environment!“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

“Best kaiten place I've been to, by a mile (be it in Japan or the US). A bit different in a few ways.

All orders are placed a la carte on the tablet in front of you and then sent to you by conveyor, rather than having plates of various price points circling the restaurant. Nice that you get everything right after it's made! Good sushi preparation; very good nigiri.

This does all come at a noticeably higher price point though - you get what you pay for.

Easily recommendable, just worth noting that this is more like genuinely good stuff sent by conveyor, rather than a cheap bite.“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.“

“We loved our experience at Thuong An Lac! Most of the menu is vegan ❤ and had a wonderful selection including pho (which had to be the best I've ever had!) All of the staff was very kind and the recommended a market next door to find great produce.

Highly recommend 💙🌱🐙“

“We've been island hopping during our time in Hawaii, and this has proven to be our favorite sushi spot so far!

We ordered the Phoenix, Kaiser Futomaki, and Sushi Spot signature rolls. Hands down all top tier rolls, you won't be disappointed by any of them. And dont count out the hot cheeto dust on the sushi spot signature roll, it actually works really well!“

“We visited with a group and got a little bit of everything, Including the desserts. Every single dish had its own unique, incredible flavor. You can really taste the love and care put into this food. It felt so wholesome and comforting. While the kitchen took a little time to get the food out, it was absolutely worth the wait because everything was served perfectly. Definitely recommend, and we already can't wait to come back for brunch!“

“The food was very good, wife love the ice cream on her French toast.“

“Icon scene on Waikiki Beach! Top notch service. 🌺“

“Marugame Udon downtown is a dependable spot for a quick, satisfying Japanese meal. I got the Premium Tendon with crispy tempura over rice: zucchini, sweet potato, shrimp, and chicken, finished with rich dashi sauce and a seasoned egg. The tempura was light, golden, and crisp, and the rice soaked up the savory sauce perfectly.

I also added tamagoyaki, extra shrimp tempura, and zucchini tempura on the side, plus a large Asahi beer, which was a perfect cold pairing with the warm fried tempura. The service was amazing, and the ambiance is incredible for a casual downtown restaurant: bright, energetic, clean, and modern. Great spot for a filling and delicious meal in downtown Honolulu.“

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.“

“I got a delicious breakfast from Sunshine & Pineapple. This is my new favorite breakfast and brunch spot on Oahu, just a short stroll from Waikiki or Kaimuki area. The cafe has a cute atmosphere. The menu features a variety of delicious options, from crispy croffle and acai bowls and Avocado Toast.
Many dishes are made with fresh local ingredients. The friendly staff and quick service add to the overall charm. This is a must-visit for a breakfast or bruch time in waikiki. Their Matcha and coffee are amazing. My kids like the smoothie too.
Highly recommend!“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere every time. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Mauka Warriors Luau was one of the absolute highlights of our first trip to Hawaii! This was so much more than a luau - it was an unforgettable cultural experience.

We loved that the show didn’t just feature amazing performances but also taught us the history and traditions of the different Polynesian cultures. Learning about the warrior traditions and the stories behind each island made the performances even more meaningful.

The dancers were phenomenal, the fire performance was incredible, and the entire cast was energetic and engaging. The food was delicious and everyone we encountered was so welcoming and friendly.

If you’re visiting Oahu, don’t miss this luau. It’s educational, entertaining, and truly gives you a deeper appreciation for the rich history and culture of Polynesia. We left with wonderful memories and a much greater understanding of Hawaii and its neighboring island cultures. Mahalo for an amazing evening!“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“It was onigiri—nothing particularly special. That said, most onigiri in the U.S. tend to be lower quality due to cheaper rice, so this place stands out for using better-quality rice. It’s definitely above average by U.S. standards, but not amazing. Best not to expect too much.“

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))“

“Our first time here! It is one of the highlights of our trip to Hawaiʻi! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and attentive.

We ordered the beautifully presented Waikīkī bridge Sashimi, Dragon & Rainbow Rolls. No doubt everything was incredibly fresh. The salmon sashimi practically melted in my mouth, the tuna was buttery and flavorful, and every sushi roll was perfectly balanced. The presentation alone was impressive, but the quality of the fish made it even better.
Paired the meal with an ice-cold Sapporo beer, which was the perfect complement to the fresh sushi.

If you’re looking for authentic Japanese cuisine in Waikīkī with generous portions, excellent service, and beautifully prepared sushi, Furusato Sushi is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in Hawaiʻi!

Highly recommend! 🍣🍺🌺“

“WOW! Found this place from a ‘food near me’ search on Google Maps. I was genuinely blown away by the quality, service, and love put into every single bite. Drinks were absolutely amazing and our server suggested some great options that were so good! Tried the lychee lemon mojito, and the drop as well as a light beer can’t quite remember the name but all drinks were amazing. 🤩
The food was on a different level and every bite was delicious. We tried the fries, spicy tuna don, miso pork chop, and some of the incredibly fresh tuna!“

“South Shore Grill has been part of my routine for close to 20 years. It’s a family‑run business with a lot of heart, and I’ve watched the owners’ kids grow up working behind the counter. The food is consistently good, the prices are fair, and there’s a great variety to choose from. It’s an easy stop before the beach or park, or the perfect place to refuel after a day in the surf. My go‑to is always the fish burrito. The cajun seasoning and macnut pesto are always on point. Truly one of those local spots that feels like part of the community.“

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.“

“We used to be regulars here before covid and afterwards, it seemed the food quality had deteriorated, so stopped going. But we recently attended a party there and everything was back to great! So much so that my husband chose it for his birthday dinner earlier this week. The whole experience is wonderful, so make a reservation without hesitation!“

“Food was genuinely fantastic. We are picky as we go out very frequently where we live in NYC, but everything we ate was excellent. Ahi tuna, ribs, butterfish, and ramen. Not a bad bite to be found! Cocktails excellent, Richard was great. Highly recommend!“

“Best tsukamem! Large portion of noodles with excellent dipping sauce. Neighbors eating fried chicken and fries which looked delicious. One wait staff took care of the entire place with great efficiency. Would go back again.“

“The staff at Cafe Kaila are so warm and welcoming. They also have best breakfast whether you choose to eat an eggs Benedict or a banana bread French toast. Always fresh fruit there so pile it on everyone and just enjoy 😉“

“Delicious! I will be back! Mahalo“

“Food was good and came out quickly. Portion sizes were pretty good, and cooking seemed like it was more home-style and less tourist focused, which was appreciated. I got the beef chow fun, the person that I went with got the beef rice soup.“

“The only thing I didn’t like were the metal chairs and the noise. Service, food, and even the wait time were incredible. (We didn’t make a reservation and they still got us in quickly.“

“The Tomahawk steak is outstanding. No need to ruin it with A1 sauce. The stuffed chicken breast was not dry, so tasty. Everything is ala carte but totally worth it. Would go again“

“I have visited the Haleiwa location multiple times and it just hits the spot for unique gelato flavors! I also highly recommend any of the crepes ... and of course, the Ube Mochi waffle!!! Staff friendly and attentive and the place is kept very clean. Definitely worth a stop if you need to pick up a pint of gelato for a family dinner too. ;)“
