50 Best Vegan Restaurants near Waimanalo

“Wonderful and friendly. The waffles are some of the best I’ve ever had. The Kailua Pork Quesadilla was amazing as well. Manu was so friendly and after a nice conversation he gave a little speech and blew the conch as a blessing for our recent marriage.“

“Vegan bento box - I'm in love!!! Incredibly delicious, so are the "chicken" tacos. Please open a restaurant on the Big Island!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“Delicious malsadas. Very crowded. It was a little slow because they make the malsadas when you order. Definitely try the original!“

“Excellent food with a really creative menu. Malia always makes the best plated presentations.“

“A date of mine is vegan and recommend we try this place and off we went. While parking is a pain I understand it given the lack of space in town but if the you don't miss the lot and it's not packed it's not bad but if it's either of the former and especially the latter it's gonna be a pain especially without backup cameras and sensors. Overall the food made up for it. Despite the hole in the wall vibe I got it his place had quite an expansive menu and I loved the variety in genres of food on offer. We ended up splitting everything which was: gyoza, puttanesca pasta, and chicken pesto masala. All of which tasted amazing with good texture and seasoning which is what I think is needed in a place especially with no meat on the menu. Everything came out fast, was big and made us quite content. Where I have a slight problem with is the pricing. The entrees were each $21 bucks and while heaping I do wish it was at least 17-19 instead those couple bucks make a difference over time. Though I'd definitely give this place a go moving forward to try out the rest of the menu. Places like this make me hopeful more people will give the diet a good go as it haves much more benefits than just the environment!“

“Very good food.“

“和テイストのフレンチで、とても美味しいですね。“

“I am a Miami to Alaska transplant and seek out great Cuban food and cafe’ whenever I travel. Castro’s is the real deal!! The Cuban Cafe’ is spot on and the French Toast with the Rum Sauce is off the charts!! Enough food to feed two! The owner is friendly & engaging as is the staff. Stop in, grab a Cafe’ and chill on the sidewalk seating while your breakfast is created..I say created because it is a true work of art…at least in my professional opinion.“

“I was visiting Honolulu from Wisconsin, and this food truck ended up being one of the best surprises of the whole trip. I’ll be honest the walk to it looks a little sketchy at first since you head down this small alley, but don’t let that fool you. Once you get back there, it’s a whole different story. The customer service was awesome super friendly, super welcoming. And the food? Straight-up 10/10. The loaded barbecue fries were insane, packed with flavor and totally worth every bite. The burgers were just as amazing, juicy and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was out of this world. If you’re in Honolulu, don’t sleep on this place. I’d come back in a heartbeat.“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“I am foodie from Japan, enjoy once or twice a month hotel buffet in Tokyo. But Orchids Sunday branch menu was the best ever. Not only does it taste good, but it also tastes good, fine scenery, number and placement of staff and their diligence noteworthy.“

“Surfer’s Wife Kitchen is a hidden gem at the farmers market serving flavorful Mediterranean-inspired vegan staples perfect for building a fresh, satisfying salad spread. Their signature “fawaffles” (baked falafel waffles) are crispy, hearty, and so unique. Don’t miss the creamy hummus, savory mujadara,, dolmas, and rotating prepared dishes.“

“Visiting from Texas we were looking for some authentic Asian food and came across this gem! We absolutely loved the food. The service was superb with them spoiling us. The tempura was light, but with great flavor, including the various salt options. The food was filling and worth the stop! Great place to visit and go back again!“

“Don’t let the exterior fool you, this is no greasy spoon. We had a MARVELOUS breakfast here. All of the food was beyond compare, budget-friendly priced, and the staff is exceptional. Highly recommended. We will be back whenever we are in Honolulu.“

“Impressed by Pan's Kitchen yesterday! I ordered the fresh grilled ahi, and let me tell you, it was incredible. With the first bite you could tell just how fresh it was - perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Just a heads up, there might be small hard time understanding sometimes due to the owner's accent. But be patient, communication works out, and the food is absolutely worth it. Parking can be tricky - it's one of those places we only go to when we see a spot open. We got lucky yesterday with an empty space, but two trucks swooped in as soon as we pulled in! Despite the potential parking hassle, Pan's Kitchen is a hidden gem. Highly recommend it for the incredible ahi (and hopefully a parking spot)!“

“Great vegan food. No frills and outside dining“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“My favorite panang curry on island! Attentive staff and fun atmosphere.“

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))“

“Great atmosphere, very friendly staff“

“Outside table for one at lunch time. Korean barbecue chicken sandwich. Excellent, delicious and messie to eat. I would order again.“

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

“Best kaiten place I've been to, by a mile (be it in Japan or the US). A bit different in a few ways.

All orders are placed a la carte on the tablet in front of you and then sent to you by conveyor, rather than having plates of various price points circling the restaurant. Nice that you get everything right after it's made! Good sushi preparation; very good nigiri.

This does all come at a noticeably higher price point though - you get what you pay for.

Easily recommendable, just worth noting that this is more like genuinely good stuff sent by conveyor, rather than a cheap bite.“

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

“We celebrated a big anniversary at Pai and WOW - they made it extra special. We did the four course menu with wine pairings. The service was top notch. The food was inspired, creative, delicious, and locally sourced. Though the portions of each dish looked small, it was more than enough food and so delicious you wanted to eat every bite! The wine pairings were spot on, absolutely perfect with our chosen courses. The space has such a lovely vibe - clean and modern, but comfortable and well appointed. There really isn't another dining experience quite like this on the island. Justine and Kevin have created such a beautiful place with incredible food and service. Pai is definitely a must-try restaurant. We will definitely be back.“

“Unbelievably good food for a great price and the best service regardless of language barriers. And the Vietnamese Iced Coffee was the richest best version of the drink we've had anywhere. And those fresh rolls were absolutely stunning.“

“Wonderful hospitality!! And always delicious. 😍 Always a must stop when we are in town. Plus the atmosphere is great as well.“

“Get there early or you will have to wait. Food, atmosphere and staff were wonderful.“

“We've been island hopping during our time in Hawaii, and this has proven to be our favorite sushi spot so far!

We ordered the Phoenix, Kaiser Futomaki, and Sushi Spot signature rolls. Hands down all top tier rolls, you won't be disappointed by any of them. And dont count out the hot cheeto dust on the sushi spot signature roll, it actually works really well!“

“We visited with a group and got a little bit of everything, Including the desserts. Every single dish had its own unique, incredible flavor. You can really taste the love and care put into this food. It felt so wholesome and comforting. While the kitchen took a little time to get the food out, it was absolutely worth the wait because everything was served perfectly. Definitely recommend, and we already can't wait to come back for brunch!“

“The food was very good, wife love the ice cream on her French toast.“

“Marugame Udon downtown is a dependable spot for a quick, satisfying Japanese meal. I got the Premium Tendon with crispy tempura over rice: zucchini, sweet potato, shrimp, and chicken, finished with rich dashi sauce and a seasoned egg. The tempura was light, golden, and crisp, and the rice soaked up the savory sauce perfectly.

I also added tamagoyaki, extra shrimp tempura, and zucchini tempura on the side, plus a large Asahi beer, which was a perfect cold pairing with the warm fried tempura. The service was amazing, and the ambiance is incredible for a casual downtown restaurant: bright, energetic, clean, and modern. Great spot for a filling and delicious meal in downtown Honolulu.“

“Great taste using Natural non dairy ingredients! Very great customer service and good price.“

“We visited Easyque recently and I’ve been craving the food ever since!! Absolutely everything was delicious! 😋 😍“

“Icon scene on Waikiki Beach! Top notch service. 🌺“

“Great atmosphere, really good food, outstanding staff!“

“Amazing food and atmosphere every time. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“Mauka Warriors Luau was one of the absolute highlights of our first trip to Hawaii! This was so much more than a luau - it was an unforgettable cultural experience.

We loved that the show didn’t just feature amazing performances but also taught us the history and traditions of the different Polynesian cultures. Learning about the warrior traditions and the stories behind each island made the performances even more meaningful.

The dancers were phenomenal, the fire performance was incredible, and the entire cast was energetic and engaging. The food was delicious and everyone we encountered was so welcoming and friendly.

If you’re visiting Oahu, don’t miss this luau. It’s educational, entertaining, and truly gives you a deeper appreciation for the rich history and culture of Polynesia. We left with wonderful memories and a much greater understanding of Hawaii and its neighboring island cultures. Mahalo for an amazing evening!“

“We loved both the food and the wine and the service. The place is gorgeous too. We had a wonderful time.“

“It was onigiri—nothing particularly special. That said, most onigiri in the U.S. tend to be lower quality due to cheaper rice, so this place stands out for using better-quality rice. It’s definitely above average by U.S. standards, but not amazing. Best not to expect too much.“

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“The most delicious place to grab a smoothie in Waikiki. Always friendly staff working there and really great service! Especially Yu! I tell all my friends:))“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

“Best place to eat in Kāneʻohe Food is great. Service is fast and friendly Served with aloha Lots of parking Live music on Sat. & Sun mornings.“

“Food was fresh and delicious. The produce they used was amazing quality. They have a lot of good options to choose from and the ordering process was quick and easy. My toddler who is in a picky eating phase loved their scrambled eggs and croffles. They also have the best matcha latte I've ever had, I believe they use a pandan syrup they make in house. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be returning.“

“WOW! Found this place from a ‘food near me’ search on Google Maps. I was genuinely blown away by the quality, service, and love put into every single bite. Drinks were absolutely amazing and our server suggested some great options that were so good! Tried the lychee lemon mojito, and the drop as well as a light beer can’t quite remember the name but all drinks were amazing. 🤩
The food was on a different level and every bite was delicious. We tried the fries, spicy tuna don, miso pork chop, and some of the incredibly fresh tuna!“

“Excellent sushi!
We spent all day on the North Shore, back in Waikiki tired and hungry.
The wife and I sat at the sushi bar and had a delicious meal.
We had:
Edamame
The Tempura Roll
California Roll“

“Best tsukamem! Large portion of noodles with excellent dipping sauce. Neighbors eating fried chicken and fries which looked delicious. One wait staff took care of the entire place with great efficiency. Would go back again.“

“I have been coming to Oahu for more than 15 years, and this was my first visit to Original Roy's. The location was excellent, easy to find, and provided a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The staff treated us like family and made us feel genuinely appreciated as guests. The wait staff was personable, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout the evening. They struck the perfect balance between providing excellent service and allowing us to enjoy our meal without feeling rushed or pressured to move on, which is increasingly rare in many restaurants today. They offered several recommendations and shared their personal favorites from both the seafood and meat selections. The only challenge was deciding what to order because every recommendation sounded outstanding and depended entirely on what you were in the mood for that evening. The desserts were exceptional. Both were served warm, required approximately 20–25 minutes to prepare, and were absolutely worth the wait. They provided the perfect ending to an outstanding dining experience. The overall experience reminded me of Jamison's on the North Shore before it closed several years ago. That restaurant was known for its upscale service and welcoming atmosphere, qualities that Original Roy's clearly continues to provide. Overall, this was an excellent dining experience, and I will definitely be returning to try another one of the seafood specialties that were recommended to us.“

“👍 Delicious meals. Nice and attentive service.“
