31 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Koloa

“super good food! Very courteous staff. Highly recommend.“

“Why 5 stars?
Because our server, Joy made the whole dining experience enjoyable. She's been here more than 20 years and still had a smile for us every time she visited the table, which was just often enough but not too often.
Because Jaime (and his trainee) did a great job with all the little things like water and clearing dishes.
Because the food was absolutely delicious. The coconut scallops were cooked to perfection, the lamb chops tender, juicy and very nicely seasoned. The Hawaiian seafood platter was perfect and the mahi mahi was also delicious. We topped it off with the molten chocolate lava cake with ice cream.
The host also did a great job, seating us at our reserved time.
Everything was flawless, bravo Tidepools, it's hard to orchestrate everything so well, but you did it.
Did I mention Joy? What a delightful person.
Finally, the restaurant is beautiful with views of the ocean, koi pools all around with lots of colorful fish, open to the outside (but fully indoors too!), easy to get around and enough distance between tables to have a peaceful conversation.“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“Favorite restaurant on South shore. Wonderful cocktails, fantastic food, friendly and informative staff and a stunning view.“

“Food at La Spezia is outstanding! This was the first time dining at La Spezia (party of three), and we couldn't have been more pleased. Service was prompt, friendly, and attentive. The food was the most delicious any of of us has ever had. I ordered the gnocchi, my friend ordered the short rib ravioli (and couldn't stop raving about it!), and my husband devoured the wagyu hanger steak (he said it was amazing!). The wine we drank was terrific as well (a red zinfandel)! Even though all of us were full, we ordered dessert the salted caramel panna cotta, which was outstanding! All in all a meal we will never forget! We highly recommend La Spezia for a very enjoyable night, to anyone looking for a great restaurant in Koloa.“

“Great place to stop for a quick breakfast in Poipu. Love this place.“

“This food truck is the best place for poké on Kauai! Charming relaxed atmosphere, DELICIOUS food at affordable prices, all next to an open building with great shops. Corn hole game for the kiddos set up near the covered seating area. All 8 in our group agreed that this was the place to eat! Visited 2-3 times during our stay. Highly recommend!“

“I told my wife we were going to a food truck that I had read about for lunch. She was a little skeptical, but said sure, let’s go. So glad we did. The food was so delicious! And the portion size was so generous. When you are on the south shore of Kauai, please don’t miss this gem.“

“This place is so much fun for adults and kids. The slide, pool, and activity area is so much fun and they welcome you with open arms. The food and drinks are amazing but…our service was why we kept coming back. Justyna has the best vibe and is so attentive. We recommend this place to everyone that comes to the Poipou area. ?“

“We ordered the samosa chaat, palak paneer, garlic naan, and lamb biryani. Service was efficient, fast, and friendly. We came on vacation, not expecting such good quality Indian food but the taste was above expected - excellent! A must visit.“

“The staff was is super friendly. The food is some of the best I have ever had. The experience was one of the highlights of my trip.“

“View from our room. Awesome! Very relaxing“

“Very good breakfast and the friendliest servers like Javere!“

“This place was highly recommended by my patient that was part of a Facebook Group that posted about this place a lot and they were featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. It was good and the service was fantastic, but not so good that we made a second stop on our trip. Their service was quick too, so it's a good stop if you only have a short time to eat! Their menu includes: Truffle Burger, Veggie Burger, Chicken Katsu Sandwich, Kenji Burger (teriyaki, ponzu aioli, caramelized onions, cheddar cheese, tomato & arugula), Misoyaki Fish Sandwich, Salads, Sushi Burritos & Bowls (loco moco, chicken katsu, misoyaki fish, and poke). There are 2 locations on the island“

“Beautiful views of the garden and delicious food.“

“Amazing service, our waitress was so courteous, and she explained everything! And the food was delicious! I would Highly recommend!! Beautiful ocean front views“

“I tried the Pad See Ew with shrimp and it was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, perfectly cooked noodles, and generous portions. The lady at the window was incredibly kind and attentive, which made the experience even better. If you’re craving authentic, tasty Thai food, this is the spot. Highly recommend!“

“Great place to eat, only complaint we have is they do not make it clear that they do not offer the lunch buffet any more and we had only half an hour to get our food before they remove the the items and start serving Lunch. Staff went out of their way to help out with helping us get our plates.“

“Everything was delicious, I would love to try everything on the menu, I think it’s all equally good!! The noodles are amazing and so are the people! I couldn’t decide between two of the dishes so they let us have a small sample of the plate I didn’t order (even though they were so busy!) so we could try it. Thank you!!“

“The best view for any bar in the area! Food was good but not outstanding, and prices were pretty high. Staff was friendly and talkative, and the TVs were nice. I recommend for the view, the convince, and the service. There is better and cheaper food elsewhere.“

“I ordered the blackened fish tacos and my husband ordered the AlPastor tacos. Both were incredible. We could really taste the pineapple in the Al Pastor. There are two sauces that he keeps outside and we added the red/spicy sauce on top and they gave the tacos a great kick! Food was made to order and very fresh!“

“Pleasantly surprised at how good this place was. Lasagna, bolognese were both amazing. Appetizers including the calamari and focaccia bread were also great. We had some drinks in the bar across the way for happy hour while we waited, ambience there was nice as well, and there were couches for the kids. Highly recommend!“

“Well we tried it. I will say it was the least expensive meal we ate. But the burgers are McDonalds size. They were ok, good I guess, but nothing special. The onion rings were good, but we only got 2 with our order of Frings. I would say if you are craving a small, cheap burger and there's no line, it's worth it. Otherwise, you can probably find better.“

“The hospitality is top notch. Specifically from Natalia. She made sure that the special occasion my wife and I were celebrating was her first priority. We felt like we were her only guests though she had many tables. Thanks again to the Beach House and Natalia for making our dinner perfect!“

“This place was great! Go for their happy hour drinks, and stay for their happy hour food deals. Just remember to bring earplugs if there's a big game on that night. People were losing their minds over some college football something fierce!“

“Great food. Great service.“

“Red Salt is amazing! Highly recommend it. The best food on the island. Our server was Allen and he was amazing!!!! Great service and careful with our parties’ food allergies. Lovely memorable dining experience. The toasted pear salad and filet mignon were outstanding!“

“The Prime Rib was enjoyed by my son-in-law, and I LOVED the Stung Honey Fried Chicken. The coconut shrimp were the perfect accompianment to the King Tiki Mai Thai. My wife loved the Asian Salad, but my DIL thought the Macademia Crusted Mahi Mahi was a bit dry. Service was SPECTACULAR, and the kids menu was extensive - our 3.5 yo grandson loved the grilled cheese sandwich with waffle fries, our 19 month old grandaughter loved the pasta with marinara, and there was also pasta with butter sauce, cheese burger sliders with waffle fries, and chicken tenders with waffle fries. The view of the pool and ocean from under the lanai was also terrific!“

“I don’t get everyone’s poor ratings of this place! We love this place. Went Three times while on our trip the price is average for Hawaii. The service was great and the food is great! We tried one other shrimp place and it was more expensive for less food. Highly recommend the garlic, shrimp, tacos, coconut, shrimp, and Bahia.“

“Food is still good however the service now sucks. if your eating and want something else or another drink. whoever is serving you will not get it you are told that you must go back up to the cashier and order it there. what kind of crap is that. when told that I replied that "Then no need to tip you right" ? got a dirty look for that one, I'm just saying what's the purpose of having a waiter/waitress that won't get anything may as well go to the Crack. glad the one in Kalaheo isn't like poipu !!“

“We were greeted with a very warm welcome. Staff was extremely polite and nice. Food was fantastic. They had live entertainment Hawaiian music. This is a must go to restaurant.“
