31 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Koloa

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

“Tidepools is a very romantic open air bungalow style restaurant sitting over various Koi ponds aglow with fire from the tikis. Our server was very nice, knowledgeable and available. We enjoyed the vegetable summer roll and lamb chops as appetizers. Both were very tasty and the lamb chops more than ample as a meal if you ordered sides. We were so pleased with our center cut and filet steak as our entree. The center cut sirloin was smothered in a rum compound butter and seasoned to perfection. The ambiance made for a wonderful island experience. I would highly recommend dining here, then walking the beautiful grounds. Tidepools is great for family and dinner with friends. We had a wonderful time.“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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. ?“

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

“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.“

“Portion sizes! These guys kill it. Buddy behind the bar is phenomenal and the vibes of the place is a perfect combo of Italian restaurant vibes with relaxed Hawaii atmosphere. Reasonably priced for the island too.

Food times are ever so slightly longer but hey, it’s worth it! They’re a busy place!

We will be coming back when we return to Kauai.“

“An Unforgettable Thai Dining Experience!

Craving Thai absolutely blew me away! From the moment we walked towards the food truck, the atmosphere was cozy and quaint. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations without being pushy.

We started with the crispy spring rolls and it had fresh flavors and perfectly balanced spices. For the main course, I had the pad see ew and crispy chicken, and it was hands down one of the best experiences I've ever tasted with it being rich, tasty, and just the right level of heat.
Portions were generous, and the prices were more than reasonable for the quality.

Craving Thai has easily become my new go to spot for Thai food. Highly recommend!“

“Long stay at the Hyatt and look forward to breakfast each day here. What a creative, professional, diverse breakfast buffet! Too much to note here but there is NOTHING missing for breakfast or brunch options! The staff is so friendly and personable.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Went here our first day on the island for drinks and ended up getting dinner, too. The service was pretty slow, but the server was super friendly and attentive once she finally made it to the table. My wife had the mahi mahi tacos and I had the mahi sandwich and they were fantastic. We also had two drinks each, the last two were the lava flow (delicious) and mudslide (not bad, but not great). The views are gorgeous overlooking the ocean and the prices aren’t awful. For 4 cocktails and two entrees it was about $120 which is honestly one of the cheaper places near the beach.“

“Great food. Great service.“

“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.“

“Came for happy hour! Food is simple but cooked well and tasty! 2 drink minimum if you come for happy hour. We got the tacos for taco Tuesday. Some teriyaki wings (breaded). Coconut shrimp and pork belly appetizer. Beers are served in frosty mugs! Definitely recommend stopping here for a casual dining experience. They also have a ton of tvs for any sporting event! Great views and the open air kept it at a great temperature inside.“

“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!“

“For something quick that we could take to go, to eat on our lanai and watch the sunset, it was a nice tasty meal. 10 shrimp with rice was plenty for each of us. I liked the garlic shrimp, my wife had cookie which she liked because it lightly seasoned.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“
