50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam

“**Need base access to come here since its on Pearl Harbor**Took a late lunch due to work and Harbor Grill was crowded so decided to give Phillies a try. The signage by the exchange is misleading, its actually on the other side of the building. Parking is also tough but i waa parked on the other side so walked around to find the place.Like another person said, the prices are on the higher side, around $20 for a Cheesesteak sandwich, fries and a canned beverage. There is additional charge if you want bell peppers or mushrooms that i passed on. Service was quick and friendly, maybe because i was the only customer there.Food wasnt bad, though the sandwich wrapper and bottom bun was a bit greasy from the meat. Id give them another try with their other sandwiches since they were on par with Subway prices. Good to have found another option for food in the area?

Parking: Parking is tough due to the fitness center and barracks closeby.“

“Super solid lunch stop. Was on base w fellow contractors for a project and ended up eating here and sharing in good conversations. I was impressed by the politeness of other customers - two separate white men yielded to me and offered for me go ahead of them in the order line :o

I got the Italian chicken panini and it was just what I needed (filling and good source of protein).

Vegetarian options: There’s a veggie panini which I’m told is also good!!“

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

“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.“

“A hole-in-the-wall place with a ~really~ good burger and fries. Probably the best on Waikiki, or at least the best I've found so far. Generous portion sizes, too. The only knock I can give is it's not "fast" food, like you might expect for a hole-in-the-wall place: Burger was (perfectly) made to order, so it took around the same amount of time to make as it would in a sit-down restaurant, but other than that, it was great. If you're looking for a burger you can grab and take to the beach, this is the place to get it.

Parking: Only parking is what you can find in the garages on Waikiki.“

“If you're looking for an authentic taste of Japan with exceptional quality, Tempura KiKi is the place to go. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance exudes a traditional Japanese charm, perfectly setting the stage for a delightful dining experience.

The tempura at Tempura KiKi is, without a doubt, some of the best I've ever had. Each piece, whether it was the shrimp, seasonal vegetables, or fish, was lightly battered and fried to golden perfection. The crispiness was spot-on, and you could tell that the ingredients were of the highest quality – fresh, delicate, and absolutely flavorful. What truly sets Tempura KiKi apart is their attention to detail. The tempura wasn’t greasy at all, and every bite melted in my mouth, retaining the pure flavor of each ingredient.

Beyond the food, the service was fantastic. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. They were quick to explain the menu, making sure I had everything I needed without being overbearing. It made me feel welcome and appreciated as a guest.

If you’re a fan of tempura or just want a taste of authentic Japanese cuisine, Tempura KiKi should be at the top of your list. It’s a gem of a restaurant with an unbeatable combination of amazing food and stellar service. I can’t wait to return!“

“Picked up for take out two nights in a row. First night we got the summer rolls, yakisoba noodles, and pho. All were great!! We also ordered the pot stickers but they forgot to give them to us. We especially liked their sauces and broth. Second night we got the steamed pot stickers, crispy spring rolls, curry noodle soup and pad thai. Pad thai was good but the least interesting of everything we ordered. The curry soup was amazingggg, wontona amazing and sauce was spicy and cripsy spring rolls were great too. Everything comes extremely hot and details are there! So good!“

“Awesome and tasty Vegetarian food, and I'm not vegetarian 😁“

“This is inside Iskon Hawaii. Monday's buffet is all vegan except for desserts. Other days have all-vegetarian menu with some vegan items. The food tasted good but it got cold when we had it around 1:30 PM. Try to reach it as soon as they open if you want to get the best out of it.It is not all you can eat. They weigh the plate and charge you per pound. Kinda expensive!

Vegetarian options: Serve vegan options.“

“No waiting early morning dining! Great service! Yummo food!“

“This is my favorite go-to spot for a quick bento pick up. I love that they have pre-made bentos and musubi’s. So it makes picking up food such a breeze. I grabbed a few bentos for several of our employees and they were surprised at the overall amount of food given in each bento and how it filled them up. For the bento that I got, each bento came with a big piece of chicken that they slice up, half piece of a red hot dog, homemade hamburger patty and 3 pods of edamame. All for under $15.00!“

“Found this lovely place as a best brunch in Waikiki. Totally agree with the assessment. Interesting menu choices and very well prepared food. Perfect portion sizes! Leave room for dessert - the ube panna cotta is exceptional!“

“This is one of the world’s great restaurant. The food is amazing, the ambience is incredible and the wait staff is one of the most knowledgeable I have seen. The guest is treated like royalty. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“My favorite meal during my trip was at Southern Love, and I do not say that lightly. The food is clearly made with Love, as the title implies. It might seem off beat to get Southern food in Hawaii, but you would be remiss to not eat at least one meal at Southern Love. The authentic southern cooking (again, done with love) does take time, so prepare for a little (but not unreasonable) wait for your delicious meal! While you wait for the food (that will blow your socks off!) you can enjoy the ambiance of an at home experience that matches perfectly with the best local dining in the South.

We were lucky enough to have the special chicken sandwich, coated in fried honey crust with perfect tints of spice, with friggin' Mac 'N Cheese on top!! This sandwich slayed!! I saw it, thought no way I could finish it...and then couldn't stop myself from leaving the plate spotless!

In short, thank you Southern Love for an amazing meal and experience! All of the stars for the perfect Southern Love mix with lovin' Hawaiian feels!!“

“Everything I have had here is so ono! Love the fresh noodles made with local ingredients can't beat it so worth the wait!!“

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“We had a lovely experience during our visit. The food is amazing, the sushi was very fresh and the fried rice was also very good. And the service was spectacular! Highly recommended!!

If you are a Korean and are traveling to Waikiki, definitely stop by!! It's really delicious and the owner is very kindㅜㅜ“

“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!“

“I love Marugame Udon! The location was great, there was no line, and the food was made instantly. I got the BK sauce ontama with an extra egg and it was only $10! So filling, yummy, and decently priced. As a broke college student struggling with the prices of O’ahu, this restaurant is a blessing. Will be back 100%.“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly staff“

“Christine was spectacular she made my entire experience so fun and more than just a simple interaction. I appreciated her authentic perspective and insight in the menu. A great place to stop by and enjoy lunch or even to grab while on break at work.“

“I ordered the regular 4 cheese melt 9$ with tomato soup 6$, very delicious and cheesy no complain they were very welcoming and quick . Would definitely encourage you to taste if you are in the area. Tomato soup was amazing combination with the grilled cheese. Limited space to eat but nothing to complain about.“

“This was definitely a different Pizza experience... their story is intriguing and hopefully this brand and cuisine comes to the remainder of the states especially Florida... I had their lime drink and it was amazing and their Pizza was delightful. 43 inc highly recommended. In Tampa Florida we have a network called The HUB and it's a place we recommend phenomenal experiences. This would be one.“

“High quality sushi you can order by pieces, price point is on the higher end but food quality well justified it. All pieces we ordered didn’t have tendon parts you can’t chew, they were very fresh, decent sized. Their wasabi’s freshly grounded version. Would definitely come back again!

The decor looked a bit cheap tho and the lighting of the restaurant didn’t offer any ambiance, didn’t create a feeling that we’d like to stay for a long time and enjoy our food, but rather, let’s eat then leave. Efficiency seems to run in all aspects of the restaurant. You order food on a iPad and pieces delivered directly from kitchen via a conveyor belt.“

“They have a lot of interesting Foods. I tried several and took them home and most everything was good but some things I had no idea what they were. But my son was with me and four of his children are Japanese American and they know what they are and so does he he spent probably 10 years in Japan. So it was a great experience. And I would highly recommend.“

“My husband was passing by and said we should go there because there were a lot of people, so we went without thinking much, but it was really, really delicious!

It's a taste that you'll always remember once you go there.
It was my favorite meal of all the things I ate in Hawaii. The meat is so good~ The fish balls are so delicious. My husband also said it was the best. ^^ I'm going to go again before I go back. The staff are very friendly and remember me when I go back.

I need to come to Hawaii again to eat this haha.“

“Some of the best food around“

“It has been a while since I ate Japanese BBQ. The kind waitress helped us to choose on the menu. The meat melts in our mouths.
I wish they offered more small side dishes, like pickles, cucumbers... the kimchi was delicious.

I will definitely come back!“

“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:))“

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

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

“delicious and affordable. Staff were friendly and attentive.“

“We were fortunate to grab seats at the bar before a show at the Blaisdell. Beautiful atmosphere, very attentive server/bartender (Kalei), amazing food options and lovely hand mixed cocktails. We were pleasantly surprised and will return!“

“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.“

“風景優美，服務品質特佳。“

“Very good food.“

“as long as you mind a 30-40 min wait times at times, the wait is worth it. the staff is super friendly, and the food is amazing! they always give my wife a to go ice coffee as we were winding down our check. my two favorites were there loco moco, and the very berry french toast“

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

“Best Japanese curry in Honolulu! If you're a fan of Japanese curry - you need to eat here ? The portions are huge. The crispness of the fried katsu pieces are crunchy and yum. The hospitality of the hosts are what also makes it a standout. ? plus the croquettes are divine. We had heaps of fun here!“

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.“

“Food is great, need dining area though.“

“Fast, friendly and amazing food. The habanero salsa is perfect on any of their food ❤️“

“Fantastic little local eatery! Ono tacos were the best I’ve had so far!!Must try this place!“

“I ate like crazy!! So there are only two pictures...
There are about ten side dishes and they are all delicious. I ate it without taking a picture haha.
It tastes like a non-irritating side dish.
The soybean paste stew is salty and spicy, not the taste of a meat restaurant.
The simple taste of making it at home without adding ssamjang, my child really enjoyed it even though there was pepper in it.
The seasoned ribs are also delicious. Most of them are not tough and the seasoning is just right.
Please do not cook only on high heat. It was a shame because the delicious meat burned quickly haha.
Jjambbong contains a moderate amount of seafood and has a rich taste.
Jjajang tastes like old-fashioned jjajang, and it’s light and good.

I also added pot rice, which is black rice.

Overall, everything was delicious, and I was very satisfied, perhaps because I live in a neighborhood that doesn't have many Korean restaurants.
The service is also very friendly!!!

The parking lot is conveniently located in the building.“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“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.“

“This is a really good Musubi restaurant.. 👍🏻It shouldn't be known, but I made it known😍 It's so delicious♥️ You have to go early to get the popular Musubi. If you're traveling to Hawaii, be sure to buy some before your tour.

Parking: Street parking“

“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“

“The chantliy excellent! The eclair excellent! The jelly sooooooo good!“
