50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Wailea Makena

“The food is outstanding. Watermelon Salad and Beet Salad were stand out dishes. Carrot Risotto was great and I added scallops for protein, which were done perfectly. Tuna Tataki was good, but I wouldn't repeat it. Great wine selection. Service was very good and the restaurant is great looking with an open kitchen format.“

“The food was good, but we weren’t blown away by the atmosphere for how expensive the dinner was for just the two of us. I was also blown away that they charge $50 to cork a bottle of wine. We went after sunset, so I think that took away a little bit from the atmosphere as this restaurant sits right on the beach.“

“This place was too notch! The pizza was superb and delicious! Our waiter Big Josh was really friendly, funny and welcoming! He even gave us a list of his local favorite places to see:) We’ll be back!“

“I've been eating sushi for many years and is the best I've ever found. It is so fresh and beyond excellent. The service is great and the chef will make whatever special requests you want. The Hamachi sashimi is amazing and the soft shell hand roll is perfect. My family and I come here again and again. Don't miss it!“

“Incredible! ♡ I can't wait to go back for date night. Mathew made sure we had everything we needed and explained the menu with any questions we had! The Lobster Alfredo was 10/10 and a wow factor for sure. Amazing salad and crab cake panini! We also got the Chocolate Deluxe Bar, Mascarpone Pistachio Cake, And Lilikoi Cake to go for the family. Will be stopping by to get desserts to go regularly. Thank you!“

“We had reservations because it’s highly recommended as it’s a gem of a place and were greeted kindly - hostess asked us if we have even been to Maui Wine and showed us where the restrooms were- we didn’t even ask so I thought that was so kind of her. Every single staff member came to our table asking how everything was and if we needed anything, cleared empty dishes ect. - Explained the types of wine and our food selections for us and we left with some wine and jelly 🥰 It was an amazing experience! The ride there is beautiful as well. Thank you all at Maui Wine 💕“

“Amazingly delicious! Don’t drive past … stop and enjoy! We had the al pastor and chorizo tacos. Both amazing!! (Posting only 1 photo because we literally inhaled the food before we realized we should take photos 😂) Thank you! We’ll be back!“

“Delicious bimbimbap. Very fresh!“

“Loved that nothing was too sweet the Tiramisu is special and the coffee tasted really good can’t wait to try more things.“

“I am an established “FOODIE” and have traveled the world eating at some of the best restaurants in the world. This dinner, while expensive, was genuinely one of the best meals and experiences I’ve ever had! I sat near the kitchen for about 3 hours and wish I could go back. Everyone was friendly, talkative, and informative. This was an amazing night, amazing atmosphere, and EXCELLENT food and drink! I will be coming back any and every time I am in Maui. I could not recommend this place and experience more! 100/10“

“Nutcharee’s has been my favorite meal while vacationing in Maui. We come every year and go to Nutcharee’s 2-3 times. So dang good….everything!!“

“First time there after many years. Super friendly gal out front. Reasonable prices I thought. Food was excellent. We will be back“

“If there were only one restaurant to eat at on Maui, for us it would be this beautiful restaurant set in a gorgeous setting of old Maui (at the Valley end of the foothills of the West Maui mountains), which serves the most incredibly presented and quite exceptionally delicious meals we’ve had, served by some of the best cooks, wait staff and owners we’ve seen anywhere…and we’ve been everywhere🤙🏼 LuckyweliveHawaii🌹indeed!“

“This was certainly the most delicious food we had while in Maui. The Kalbi ribs were totally worth the price (lots of food so good to share) as was the mixed plate with katsu chicken, teriyaki chicken, fish and something else. We went twice while in the area since we loved it so much the first time! Sitting inside you’ll be a little warm but it’s not too bad. Overall I can’t recommend this place enough, it was so amazing!!“

“Had one of the best beef burgers of my life! The jalapeño avocado burger after a day of horseback riding at Triple L ranch was to die for. I love the little store here too - cute souvenirs and t shirts. Even if you aren’t horse back riding, which I highly recommend, this part of the island is quite charming and worth the drive just to explore!“

“We went to a local place for lunch that had great reviews and were very disappointed. Came across this amazing food truck and randomly ordered a few things……ended up coming back not even an hour later to order more. Great portions, food was so good! Made to order and so yummy! The wasabi cream sauce is 🤤🤤🤤 Give this truck a try! Best meal on Maui after a week of trying different local spots!“

“the folks are super nice and friendly! the crepe I tried-pineapple was delicious! fresh and flavorful!“

“We had our Montana State U FCS Div. 1 National championship party at Diamonds and they knocked it out of the ballpark for us! Holly and the crew at diamonds made great food and drinks in spectacular and accommodating environment. We had over 40 people and they made it work with multiple TV’s and sound. It was a great time! Highly recommend diamonds whether it’s a large group or just a small group needing to watch a specific game.“

“Excellent breakfast sandwich & pizza. highly recommend.“

“One of the most amazing dinners I have ever had. Service was amazing, and some of the yummiest food I have had on Maui. The lamb ribs are a must try. The 2lb Wagyu tomahawk is more than enough food for two people. We loved our time here and can’t wait to come back.

Also for those wondering, all of the Wagyu is halal, and so is the lamb. They will also cook everything separately if you let them know you have a pork allergy. Phenomenal service.“

“Amazing food! There is almost always a line but totally worth the wait.“

“Super food, excellent service Totally recommend it Again soon“

“Great Time! Come early. Make Reservations“

“We got the bun bo hue and pho dac biet and both were tasty and seasoned well. Owner was nice and got us everything real quick as we sat in ate. Atmosphere was a little quiet and there were a couple of flies flying around but it didn’t bug us. The food was 10/10!“

“Best Food truck we’ve been to in Maui Hawaii 🙂!! Trust me we tried a lot. So healthy and delicious flavor love the chicken stir fry! Salad dressing is amazing. In my opinion they have the best Smoothies! Don’t hesitate to stop and try“

“Absolutely the best Animal Fries & chicken Caesar wrap I’ve ever had. The fries are better than In & Out, they are crunchy and the sauce and onion are so flavorful, I couldn’t stop eating them! The Wrap had moist chicken and a tasty Caesar and grilled tortilla! My Husband loved the Buffalo wings! The owner is so sweet! Please come support him!“

“Tucked away just enough to make you question your navigation skills, Tienda del Sol is the kind of spot you don’t stumble upon—you earn it. This isn’t on the main drag, it’s a little off to the side, easy to miss… but thanks to some solid Google detective work, we found it—and I’m glad we did.

Let’s taco ‘bout the food.

We kept it simple and went with the chicken street tacos, and honestly, sometimes simple just hits different. The chicken was flavorful and cooked just right, the tortillas were legit (no cracking, no falling apart mid-bite—always a silent test), but the real magic? The crema and fresh cilantro. That combo didn’t just sit on top—it elevated the whole taco like it got promoted mid-meal. Creamy, fresh, herby… every bite felt balanced and intentional.

Now, fair warning—this place isn’t cheap. But the flavors do show up to justify the price… mostly.

Here’s where I had a tiny taco tantrum: the add-ons. Lime? Extra charge. Little extras that feel like they should just come with the taco experience? Also extra. At this price point, I feel like lime should not be a luxury item—it should be a given. Don’t make me negotiate with my taco.

Also—cash only, so don’t roll up here flashing your credit card like it’s going to impress anyone. Bring cash, or bring regret.

Final verdict: Hidden gem, flavorful tacos, worth the hunt—but be ready to pay for the full experience (and then some). Dropping one star for the “lime is extra” plot twist. Still, if you’re in Kihei, this spot is definitely worth a taco detour 🌮“

“AWESOME Fish Tacos - Get there early or they may run out of fish. This is the place to go!“

“Excellent tasting fresh wraps that are so yummy I can’t recommend them enough. Great coffee as well. Really love the atmosphere and Gina and the staff are absolutely outstanding just super accommodating just lovely. If you’re in the area definitely recommend Thats a Wrap. Absolutely love the local art on display it’s gorgeous. We will be back love Tina and Steve from New Zealand.“

“staff is amazing food and drinks are 100 percent 😋“

“Best pizza and salad. Staff is amazing“

“15 stars!

Five stars for the view, five stars for the food and five stars for the service!

Cici was absolutely fantastic - knowledgeable and attentive, and super friendly. The food did not disappoint — some of the best and freshest local dishes we’ve had since we got here.

And the views? Sublime! Highly recommend!“

“We stopped by recently while visiting the island and I am forever obsessed! The Hawaiian muffin and bread was amazing! I also love the bacon, egg and cheese stuffed roll! I definitely should have bought more goodies to bring back to Texas!“

“Good Food excellent services“

“I had the most amazing Mahi salad today!!! So good!!! ❤🤙“

“Decided to splurge a little and treat myself and family to a nice breakfast in wailea. As locals we have our usual spots but decided to give this place a try since there was a kamaaina special. We weren’t disappointed. I had my fill of smoked salmon, ahi poke, bacon, and eggs benny (all buffet so that was a plus). Kiddos had everything and the wife really enjoyed the atmosphere. Not stuffy, great staff (Venus was our server) and the kamaaina was a plus. Coming back again.“

“Hands down the best ramen any of us have ever had. The vegetarian ramen is SPECTACULAR.
The location is small and bare and they only have one server (Midori is a beast) running it all, so don’t go in a hurry or for the ambiance, but 100% go for the food.“

“Or go to spot in the morning to grab a pastry to go with our coffee in the room. We would also grab a jug of milk here for the fridge in the room for our morning coffees. We had pizza here twice in the evenings and they were very good and surprisingly a reasonable price. The sandwiches were okay, but way over priced. I was surprised at the lack of Fairmont branded souvenirs.“

“I have to admit, I was little hesitant to try this spot inside the swap meet, but boy, am I glad I did.

I had the combo plate with ribs and chicken, and it comes with a side of white rice and corn. I also paid extra to try their kimchi.

Everything was tender and flavorful.“

“Excellent and great staff!!love going every year“
