42 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Kailua

“Snapper was hard to eat. Lobster Bucatini was too salty and hated the gummy claw of the lobster. If I knew it was the claw, I would not have ordered it. Steak Diane and Ribeye & Lobster were great! Truffle fries were amazing! Waiter was nice but hard to understand. Finally, the creme brulle was the absolute best I've ever eaten. It's my go to dessert and this was handsdown the best!!!“

“I miss this restaraunt so much! All of the food is stellar and if you go often enough the staff got to know us!! We dont get to Hawaii now but its a dont miss experience! Loved the small grocery in front miss the store cat!

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

“This is a better omakase than in NYC, and like many others commented it is on par with Japan. I very much enjoyed here every course, and I highly recommend it. I also appreciated that the premium course had abalone and abalone liver, because that also speaks to omakase traditions.“

“A small whole in the wall place in same complex as Cinamon's. Metered parking all around. They have tables inside and some outside seating as well. I had the Supreme Dosa which came with choice of chutney and a soup, was delicious reasonably priced but Dosa could have used more spices.“

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

“Great food. Cool atmosphere. Awesome shakes.“

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

“A Bowl of Comfort: Rai Rai Ramen
Rai Rai Ramen in Kailua is a must-try for ramen enthusiasts. The rich, flavorful broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender, juicy chashu pork elevate the classic ramen experience.
What I Loved:
* Gluten-Free Ramen!!
* Rich, Flavorful Broths: The tonkotsu broth is a creamy, pork-based delight that coats your noodles and warms your soul. The shoyu broth, a lighter soy sauce-based option, offers a clean, refreshing taste.
* Perfectly Cooked Noodles: The noodles are cooked to al dente perfection, providing a satisfying chew with every bite.
* Tender Chashu Pork: The chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender and incredibly flavorful.
* Plentiful Toppings: Each bowl is generously topped with a variety of ingredients, including soft-boiled eggs, nori, and spring onions.
A Few Tips:
* Peak Hours: Be prepared for potential wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends.
* Limited Seating: The restaurant can get crowded, so consider dining during off-peak hours or opting for takeout.
Overall, Rai Rai Ramen offers a truly satisfying ramen experience. Whether you're a seasoned ramen connoisseur or a newcomer to the dish, you're sure to enjoy the delicious food and friendly service.

Dietary restrictions: I was really excited to hear they were happy to prepare a gluten-free bowl of ramen for me using rice noodles!

Parking: Parking directly at the restaurant is very limited, but just a couple of hundred feet up the street is an O'Reilly's with plenty of parking that they are happy to share with Rai Rai Ramen visitors.“

“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!!“

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

“K and K Bbq is a cozy hole in the wall place not too far from the Kailua and Lanikai beaches. A nice family run business and very kind hosts.

Garlic chicken is nice and crispy with a good touch of garlic. Our serving was a little salty but overall delicious garlic chicken. Not a saucy garlic chicken like other places but almost like a dry rub garlic chicken.

Loco moco was delicious too. Paired with their Mac salad and rice, it was a good choice after a day at the beach.

Price is good for the portion size that you get for your meal.

Ample parking in their parking lot but currently no restrooms available. Port a potties located out in parking lot.“

“The caramel macchiato is amazing. It is lighter than I am used to so I was a little nervous but the flavor is there! The coffee to sweetness ration is spot on such an amazing drink and the service was exceptional when I went mid day, I certainly recommend!“

“This is Korea ㅠㅠ Be sure to eat the beef stew and ribs!! Eat it twice!!! The boss is also very friendly. The food tastes much better than what I ate in Korea. I can't describe this taste. If I lived here, I would eat all 3 meals a day here haha.“

“Photos of the food looked good but when we walked to the restaurant we didn’t go in because it had bad look, chairs pilled up outside and empty carton boxes also pilled up at the entrance, we went to Whole Foods and we got even more hungry but we all wanted ramen so we decided to give it a chance since there was a couple eating so we ended up liking the ramen a lot, big portions for a reasonable price, quick service and delicious. I guess they just need to make the place more inviting :)“

“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“

“Enjoyed the pastries we bought. My wife loved the spinach bread. I love supporting locals and will continue to come here when I'm in Kailua. I just wished they didn't sell out so early.I had the chocolate donut which had the perfect chewy consistency and the chocolate was nice and rich. I'd definitely eat a few of those the next time.Support local and swing by this small bakery that's been around since the 90s.“

“Every time I want to try Pho at another place, I'm disappointed and come back to Saigon Noodle in Enchanted Lake. Their Pho is the best, has tasty broth, generous portion, fresh vegetables and the service is superb! The owner has the memory of an elephant. He remembers names, what you ate etc. Amazing! The other dishes are tasty and generous too. Prices are similar to other places, but when you add up quality, speed with which you get your food and service, this one tops it all. Love this place!

Vegetarian options: Most protein dishes can be made with tofu, which is my protein.

Parking: Parking is shared with Safeway and other eateries. It's a large parking area.“

“Had a couple beers. They were very good.“

“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!!!!??“

“I always get the same thing: burrito bowl. It’s a good sized portion and great deal for this area. Pinto beans, rice, tofu, two salsas, lettuce, lime, cilantro. The staff working the line is usually young. I haven’t asked questions, so don’t know how good they are about food knowledge.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food great time, definitely would go back.“

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

“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“

“I’m from the Boston area and every time I visit, I HAVE TO have pizza here!!“

“As a first time visitor to the Aloha state of Hawaii I was very impressed with the music, atmosphere, food, and the employees were AWESOME! Our waitress Josslyn was EXTREMELY AWESOME with her services. MAHALO SO MUCH FOR THE BEST RESTAURANT FOOD EVER.“

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

“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!“

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

“great customer service, AMAZING sandwichs!“

“Came by for some roast pork at dinner time. Staff was efficient even on a busy night and people were being helped quickly. Roast pork had good flavor but wasn't quite as crispy as I like, I think they get a pass for being so helpful on such a busy day. Looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu.“

“The food is delicious!

The shrimp rolls are well balanced- fresh ingredients and a rich peanut sauce with lots of dynamic flavors.

The Lemongrass Beef Banh Mi was stellar! Tender meat with LOTS of flavor, fantastic bread and a fresh veg slaw with some sweetness and acidity.

The pork satay was full of flavor and a lot of food!

The restaurant was quiet and peaceful.“

“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!“

“Food is spectacular! The chef’s work is art work. Friend of mine recommended that I try the bruschetta. She also told me to go during their Happy Hour, as their menu is 50% off from 2pm to 6pm. It is definitely a twist from the regular bruschetta you typically imagine. This is like bruschetta on steroids! It was delicious and eye candy.
The restaurant itself is comfortable and inviting, artwork (that you can purchase) adorns the walls and showcases island life and scenes. The iconic Mokulua Islands are featured in a couple of them.
Our waitresses (also bartenders) Macy and Malia were quite gracious and knowledgeable about wines. The kitchen is open and you can watch the chefs as the prepare your meal. I’m definitely going back to try more of their dishes.“

“It was a little confusing entering and trying to figure out if it was open seating bc there was no one to approach us for seating. There’s two selections of seating one in the bar and the other in the restaurant side. We ended up getting the restaurant side bc it was a little bit quieter. But the our waitress was great and our food was delicious ? I would recommend the pizza and the pasta ? the pizza crust was really good ??☺️ highly recommend.“

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

“We found this spot just driving around and we were VERY glad we did. Ordered the yaki soba pork and yaki soba chicken- the portions were HUGE and so delicious! We also ordered the pot stickers and had to get a 2nds. I’d go back again if I had a chance!“

“Happy hour pricing was quite reasonable. Three pizzas at $12.00 each fed 4 hungry adults. I was surprised that my wife rated the beer only 6 out of 10. Our server (Stephanie) was FANTASTIC.

Parking: Parking lot around back for multiple retailers.“

“We found the restaurant by chance and how wonderful it was. We went on Taco Tuesday and the tacos were delicious and super big. The food we ordered (enchiladas and burrito) were very good and were also very large. Furthermore, the place is very beautiful.“
