50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Kailua

“I and my husband celebrated our anniversary there. It was our first time and we were so impressed. It was like a secret special place in the back of a pub. We had to give a secret code (which we received when we made the reservation) to be allowed through the door. Once let in, it felt like we just popped into a bar from the jazz age. The food was delicious and the staff were attentive. We highly recommend the place for a special celebration.“

“awesome food, quick courteous service, friendly, good prices, busy but organized, could see the teamwork and they all danced in unison 5.0 stars“

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“Fresh tasty and savoy flavors as you can see check it out and friendly owner Jessica“

“This restaurant is not a typical Indian place serving regular dosas, it is a modern take on the famous Indian preparation. We tried the dosa with avocado, cheese, tomato and another with potato masala, spinach, cheese and liked the former better. Did not like the filter coffee and chai, wouldn't recommend if you are looking for authentic versions. The vibe and service of this place are a bonus!“

“The Food Company is amazing in that it offers an expansive menu, PLUS the best service and kindness in working with special current food restrictions. The food for our recent party with guests from our islands, plus mainland cities and Australia, called for varied tastes. The Food Company offered perfect selections, getting raves!! Everything was delicious. Fair prices and excellent value!!“

“For a place this small, it feels bigger than an IKEA. They have everything you need, and more (still regretting not buying that big brim straw hat 🥲). Do NOT skip the delicious sandwich shop in the back. Shout out to big homie with the beer knowledge that steered me to probably the best seltzer I've ever had, which absolutely slapped after a hard windy paddle out to the Mokes. We were here almost every day and will be back again next time! Y'all franchising in Texas? Kidding, kinda. Much Mahalo, Kalapawai gang! 🤠🤙“

“Ummm best pancakes ever! Great service also. Thanks 😊“

“Everything is made from scratch. Excellent broths. Nice selection of meats, dumplings & veggies. Vegan option too.“

“Great food very friendly and cost wasn’t bad either will be back for sure highly recommend“

“Love this place! Staff are friendly the place is neat and clean and the Acai bowls and smoothies are delicious! The prices are very reasonable, too! A negative is not just having to pay for parking, but actually finding a spot in that area.....it is def worth the time and money!!! My new favorite place in Kailua.“

“This place has such good ramen I’m making a second review for the second day in a row I visited!! 😂 I wanted my last meal in O’ahu to be something really really good and I just had to come back here so putting this place on BLAST 🗣️🗣️SUCH. GREAT. RAMEN!!!! Also the staff is seriously so kind too : )“

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.“

“Been crushing Bob's for years. Can't be beat.“

“My absolute favorite restaurant in Kailua! I have been to Morocco 3 times and missed Africa a lot since I moved to this island. The chef is a very sweet man from Morocco that cooks with love for his flavorful cuisine. The water ceremony for the hands it’s also very nice and I love that they shower me (cause I ask everytime 😄) with orange blossom water at the end of my dinner! Highly recommend if you are looking for a little African corner in Hawaii 🇲🇦🌈 Merci beaucoup Chef, à bientôt!“

“Kalapawai is a go-to restaurant for my friends and I. In this particular visit my friend had an adverse reaction to a medication and we needed to leave abruptly. Allison our server was totally on top of her game, got our main courses boxed and handed to us in less than a minute. The food was excellent, the service was superb.“

“The Sunrise Shack is a must-visit! Their açaí bowls are absolutely amazing—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The vibe is fun, colorful, and laid-back—perfect for a Hawaii treat. Highly recommend stopping by for a healthy and delicious pick-me-up!“

“Highly recommended!!! If you’re craving authentic Mexican food, this is your spot. I stopped in on a Tuesday for their taco specials and was absolutely blown away. The tacos were legit, with tender meat, fresh onions and cilantro, and warm tortillas that hit the spot.

The chips and guacamole? Next level good. 🥑 Incredibly fresh, creamy, and flavorful. Easily some of the best I’ve had in Oahu.

What really made the visit great though was the kindness and speed of the service. Everyone there was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about your experience. You can feel the pride they take in their food and service.

Whether you’re a local or just visiting Kailua, make this place part of your regular taco rotation. You won’t regret it.

Se los recomiendo!! Los tacos están llenos de sabor, el guacamole es increíblemente fresco y el servicio fue rápido y muy amable. ¡Los martes tienen tacos a solo $3! Si estás en Kailua, no te lo puedes perder. Muchas gracias chicos!“

“The food portions are amazing and the food is excellent This is a family owned restaurant and they are such wonderful people Recommend this place to everyone“

“I absolutely loved the fresh food and the staff was awesome Friendly and made you feel welcome Will definitely return to this establishment“

“아사히볼 맛있어요 !!“

“One of my top favorites. Known for having the Best Pho on Island, so great one of my friends drives from Waikiki to Kailua just for their Pho. My favorite dish is #7 Satay Chicken and Kal Bi short ribs, served with rice, lettuce, cucumbers and a spring roll. Always start with an order of Spring Rolls before ordering your meal. Big portions with lettuce, lemon grass and cucumbers. You can do it traditional style and wrap the Spring Roll or just grind em like me dunk just the Spring Roll in the absolutely awesome sauce they have. The sauce is so great I usually don't eat Cucumbers but with a dip in the sauce I eat all of them. Everyone I have taken to eat at Saigon Noodle House for their first time becomes a regular Customer. My Wife has tried multiple different menu options and none have disappointed her. It just makes it harder to decide next time🤣. During peak lunch time you maybe have to wait but it will be a short wait and well worth it. Recommend for everyone, large portions and surprisingly moderate price. My #7 Lunch 16.90 and couldn't finish it all. Superb staff, so polite and professional. Now just go to Saigon Noodle House and enjoy, you won't be let down.“

“The Gnocchi, Caprese, and the Tiramisu!!! Great wine selection too!“

“This is a solid takeout spot with good poke. There are spots to sit and eat outside. Make sure you ask about their ingredients. I discovered peanuts in their Thai basil poke after I started eating it and sharing with my son who has a peanut allergy. We had to rush to get some allergy meds afterwards so be careful.“

“awesome food especially mahi burger, better than the one at the restaurants. truffle fried were overcooked.“

“great customer service, AMAZING sandwichs!“

“I really try not to give out five stars but this one is 4.5 stars reminds me of chipotle but not some big franchise cookie cutter food chain. The food is good they stay packed but they work with great efficiency there’s not a lot of room to sit so it’s perfect to grab and go. Will for sure go back.“

“The smoothies are the best I have ever tasted! I feel like I am actually drinking the strawberries and not any added flavors.
I also got the pumpkin smoothie and felt like for the first time ever I have had an actual pumpkin smoothie. Delicious!“

“Leilani & Will of Leilani’s Island Tacos catered my daughter’s wedding last evening. Our guests raved about the food and excellent service! We are from out of town and Leilani was so great to work with, arranging everything by phone & email. I highly recommend them! Mahalo Leilani & Will!!“

“I don’t normally write reviews but the food here was really good. I’ve eaten a lot of Vietnamese in my life and I will say this is some of the best I’ve eaten. A little pricey for someone that has travelled the world but for Hawaii I guess it’s ok. These are new owners so give them a chance.“

“We Love this place! Always super tasty and fresh! The Super gyro is moist, juicy and the pita.....fresh! The tziki is drop dead delish!!! Also the fish pita was my favorite....My hubby can't stop with the gyros????? Mahalo nui Yamas!!!!??“

“Ordered Teh C...and Kopi and Kaya toast. the teh c taste like some regulat tea bag with just some.hot water poured into it. does not even taste like any teh from the singapore kopitiam. the kopi too.. the girl with the nose ring also forgot about out Kaya toast until I went to ask about it after 15 mins later. One of the girls did gave us a free croissant for that. I don't know why the girl keep saying teh Tarik when I ordered Teh C, had to confirm again and again.kaya toast tasted correct though.“

“Romantic , food was ok ! Butterfish was amazing but the garlic shrimp was only three pieces of shrimp on doughy cheese balls I expected more shrimp or veggies ! Noise in the afternoon not bad ! Presentation good Would have to try more of the menu but will never order the shrimp again“

“This bar is a good street side location, and has an excellent happy hour special each day of the week. You can’t beat the happy hour special prices, $12 for a draft beer and burger/tacos/pulled pork etc. depending on the day, the pulled pork is my favorite. Excellent draft selection of local beers. Dog friendly lanai. Staff are also very friendly. Our favorite place for happy hour in Kailua.“

“The food here is delicious. I love the lunch or dinner plates which gives me a variety but I’ve also had their wor gau gee min and the pork and abalone soup. All were very good. The people here are very nice and once when I can in for min the cook kept refilling my bowl with broth. It was so yummy!!“

“HIGHLY recommend! Above and beyond my expectations, as ALWAYS ❤️“

“I had originally ordered a delivery through DoorDash, but some of my order was missing. I called them and he was so kind and willing to help make sure I was happy.He helped me think of ways to make the problem right, even if it had been on DoorDash, and not on their restaurant. I went to pick up a replacement item and he was very understanding and totally wanting to help make me satisfied. Very friendly staff. And amazing food!“

“excellent delicious beef chimichanga w/refried beans and rice and lunch special beef enchilada w/rice and beans. Will definitely be back!!!!“

“Wonderful experience, Korean Steak entree was amazing and Fresh Fish entree with macadamia nut pesto was delicious. Excellent service and vibe. Highly recommend.“

“Stopped by for their new takeout curry, saw their sign outside and decided to try it out. We got the pork katsu curry and the karaage curry. The food was seriously delicious. The katsu tasted amazing and the salt and flavor of the karaage was perfect. Highly recommend everyone come try it!“

“First time in Hawaii but Buzzes is a great restaurant that has great food and drinks. The staff is outstanding the are really nice and caring for there customers. I will definitely come back to buzzes. I will definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone that comes and visits that ms never been to Hawaii.“

“A good place for coffee. The turkey sandwich is good too.“

“been eating here for over 20 years and they are friendly and consistent with everything. best pad thai n cashew nut chicken ever!!!“

“The staff was really friendly. We got the wombo chombo pizza and Polynesian wings... really delicious! definitely recommend this place“

“I ate here on my recent trip to Kona. I was happy to find the same menu items that I’m used to on the mainland. The quality and taste of the food were also in line with what I’m used to at home. This place seems like a good value for money compared to some other places I ate at in Kona. I didn’t get a fortune cookie with my meal though, which I’m used to getting at home. Not a big deal, but I noticed.“

“An amazing spot for good noodles & curries. Highlighting recommend if you’re looking for vegetarian/vegan dishes, they had a great range of curries & an amazing vegan pad Thai. Overall very friendly & helpful staff. Definitely worth a try.“

“Good food. Fast service. Short staffed, no one came to check on us but we were ok. Cold inside restaurant, need to turn AC down!“

“Came here for a Business Meeting Food was great Drinks were as always delicious Music was a little too loud (we had to yell over it, but our table was close to the musicians on top of Bose speakers amplifying the sound) but the music was absolutely amazing !!!“

“Sunday evening crew of staff were nice 👍 and gave good customer service. Especially, when me and my sister-in-Christ✝️ wanted to half a pizza 🍕 with separate toppings. It came out delicious 😋🤤 It was my 1st time @ this location. I usually dine @ the University location. It has been a couple of years since I’ve had pizza from this franchise. There is no disparity between locations. Just awesomeness 👏“
