25 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Princeville

“I ordered the Mac Nut Pesto. It was so fresh & so good!!“

“Most scenic view for dinner I’ve ever had! Food was great, service was great, truly an enjoyable experience!“

“We had a wonderful experience at The Sandbox at 1 Hotel Hanalei Bay. The food was absolutely delicious—everything tasted incredibly fresh, high-quality, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really tell they focus on using outstanding ingredients.

The service was warm, attentive, and professional from start to finish, making us feel welcome and well taken care of throughout our meal.

What truly sets this place apart, however, is the atmosphere. The setting is simply breathtaking, with stunning views that are truly priceless. Between the lush surroundings, the ocean backdrop, and the relaxed elegance of the space, it feels like a little piece of paradise on earth.

If you’re visiting Kauai and looking for a beautiful spot to enjoy great food, exceptional service, and an unforgettable view, The Sandbox is a must-visit. We can’t wait to come back! 🌴✨🌊“

“Very good food. I’d highly recommend the salmon. Enjoyed the atmosphere too.“

“We loved TIKI INIKI & Richie was awesome!“

“We are here and as soon as we walked on the door they staff was very friendly. It was around 8 pm -‘d not very busy. We got seated right away and order very quickly. The pizza and fettuccine Alfredo were both amazing. It was big portions and the service was quick.“

“My husband and I enjoyed coconut curry shrimp and chicken tikka masala. It was fantastic! We got to enjoy it right outside on a nice covered picnic bench. We brought a little white wine with us and everything was perfect! I would return and recommend it without hesitation. The staff was also very pleasant and accommodating.“

“One of the best options on the island of Kauai. The food was good with great services and decor. Most dishes were pretty good with the brioche being slightly below average.

We were able to walk in on a Sat night due to some late shows.“

“Hands down the BEST I have ever had! You must go check it out!“

“Some of the best pizza that I’ve had on Kauai by far and the garlic knots?! Wow! I want more! We can’t wait to be back!“

“The vegetable of the night was cauliflower. Undercooked hard . The swordfish was very good . My husband had the steak with mushrooms and a dab of sweet potato.. Not the most tender. That was the plates. No bread basket to fill.We won't be back here again. Plus horribly expensive and we have dined all over our country.“

“Delicious sushi from a food truck-like storefront, nestled in an attractive courtyard along with a few other eateries and some upscale clothing and tourist stores. Menu includes maki rolls, sushi burritos, musubis, poke, and miso soup. Dedicated gluten free (including the soy sauce), so safe for Celiac. Can also accommodate vegetarian and vegan diners. The ahi musubi and crab (cooked) musubi we had were delicious, as was the house made organic iced tea, sweetened with local honey. To my palate, the miso soup was under-seasoned. Everything is made to order, and our 10 minute wait went by quickly. Seating is outside in partial shade.“

“Good service! Friendly and excellent food!“

“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“

“My husband and I have been eating our way through the menu and haven't had a bad meal ever! It's my favorite place to eat on the island. My personal favorites are the deep fried mac n cheese or fries poutine appetizers, the duck or lamb dinners and always the cheesecake with bacon toffee or chocolate pudding. Drinks are fantastic and I love the infused smoked effects that can be added or the sweet martini drink on the dessert menu that tastes like drinking a snickerdoodle cookie. They have the biggest selection of whiskey, bourbon, scotch and rye around. A definate must try! It's truly the BOMB! ❤“

“Wife and I had a great time. The quesadillas were awesome, and the sauce. We will definitely go back to this restaurant again the service was also on point.“

“I'm so grateful for the opportunity to say thank you for your accommodations and awesome service. You all went above & beyond & we're very attentive to detail. Well organized from beginning to end.“

“The drunken noodles were absolutely delicious—flavorful and satisfying without feeling too heavy. I really appreciated the non-MSG recipe and quality ingredients; Thai Elephant has a unique menu that stands out from other food trucks nearby!“

“Amazing I went there like 5yrs ago... and went this week and got to go again. Yay’ and awake Svc and ono food. Came for the chili pepper chicken - win!!!“

“The food is exactly what you expect from L&L. Solid barbecue, done well, and just as good as any other L&L you’ve been to. They do run a more limited, modified menu here, though.

That said, the location right in the center of Hanalei makes it worth the stop. Sitting there, hanging out, and just watching the flow of people through town is part of the experience.

If you’re specifically looking for the full L&L menu, you’d probably be better off heading back to Kapaa where there are a couple of locations. But if you’re in Hanalei and want good barbecue in the middle of one of the best little towns on the island, it’s a great place to grab a bite.“

“Federico’s in Hanalei is an absolute MUST!!! We ate here FOUR times during our stay in Princeville, and honestly, we probably could’ve eaten here every day! 😂 The Al Pastor tacos are the best tacos we’ve ever had—amazingly delicious and packed with flavor!

We loved it so much that on our last day on Kauai, we actually drove all the way back up from the south side of the island just to have Federico’s one more time before heading home. That should tell you everything! 🌮❤

If you’re anywhere near Hanalei, GO TO FEDERICO’S! You won’t regret it! We’re already dreaming about those tacos and can’t wait to come back! 🌺🌮😍“

“Their authentic Japanese ramen bowls are perfectly seasoned and flavorful. We had the ramen with pork belly and they were delicious. They have lots of fun and yummy appetizers, our favorites were the bao buns and the brussel sprouts. The atmosphere is great and I highly recommend a reservation because the wait can be quite long.“

“I have been coming to Pat's Taqueria for over 10 years now, we make it a point to stop in every time. Highly convenient location at the Hanalei pier, its also a quick drive or walk down from Pine Trees, He'e street, or the pavilion if you choose to go there. Its a popular spot and the food truck is only so big so you have to wait and enjoy the surrounding views for a few moments, but that's not big deal as the anticipation of a fantastic taco makes it that much more delicious. I've had all of their tacos, you cant go wrong they are equally as phenomenal as the next. Any one that complains about price is nit picking because its 100% worth every penny.\n\nKeep on keeping on!“

“We stopped here with family (6) on a Sunday evening in September, we had no wait to sit outside. The food was delicious and came out hot and fresh. I LOVE the cali burrito and the kids favorite is the bean burrito. We love Pacos Tacos. ❤️🌮🌮“

“We had lunch today and the service and food was amazing. The lady who waited on us was super friendly and gave us some history of the restaurant. We love the open air seating and all the chickens running around. We would recommend you try it! We had the orange chicken and drunken noodles. Big portions and the food was hot and fresh.“
