50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Waimanalo

“BBQ Porto Sandwich was amazing!“

“Found this random truck along the side of the road and was probably the best açaí bowls we had in Hawaii. Added crushed Oreos and peanut butter. No frills bowl really but simple and fresh. Açaí was delicious. Came by the same road the next day trying to get one more bowl before our flight home but was too late ?“

“Stopped in for some lunch with my wife. Excellent service, excellent food. Great place.“

“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.“

“5 Stars – Delicious Local Comfort Food & A Hidden Gem That Was Worth the Turnaround!

After a long day at the beach, my family was starving and we were lucky to find L&L Hawaiian Barbecue just 10 minutes away. At first, it looked like it might be closed—but then I spotted the OPEN sign glowing, so I turned the car around—and I’m so glad I did!

The food was excellent, full of flavor, and the portions were generous enough to save some for later. We ordered the Seafood Combo and the Rib Combo (I think that’s what it was called), and both were spot-on. Total comfort food after a day in the sun!

The cashier/waitress was incredibly kind and welcoming, making sure we were well taken care of with that warm aloha spirit. It really made the experience even better.

They also serve Loco Moco and breakfast all day, which we’ll definitely be back to try next time.

If you’re in the area and craving some tasty, filling local-style eats, don’t pass this place up—it might just be the highlight of your meal plans!“

“Simple Joy Vegetarian Cuisine truly lives up to its name. The food brought me so much comfort and flavor during my time in Honolulu. I had their crispy vegan egg rolls and fried rice — both perfectly seasoned, light yet satisfying, and full of texture. It’s one of those spots where you can taste the love and simplicity in every dish. Definitely worth a visit for anyone craving soulful Asian-inspired vegan eats.“

“Awesome and tasty Vegetarian food, and I'm not vegetarian 😁“

“Beautiful and peaceful place surrounded by nature. The huge banyan tree is stunning and adds to the calm vibe. The vegetarian restaurant serves food buffet-style, and you pay by weight. Everything was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. One of the best vegetarian spots in Honolulu. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!“

“My husband was in search of some good fish in Waikiki. We stumbled upon this place and decided to give it a try. I’m not a seafood person so I got the chicken pasta and he tried snapper for the first time. Both of us were blown away by how tasty everything was. The portions were huge too! Out of all the places we had been to during our trip, this place is at the top. Even as a non fish eater, I loved it! There can be a wait, but it is well worth it. Try it, you’ll love it.“

“Greeted and seated right away without reservations. The staff from beginning to end were very friendly and helpful.
They have choices of booths and counter style seats. We sat in a booth. We found out they had a lunch special so that's what we ordered. Hamachi Teishoku set, hamachi jalapeño ponzu, Castella Tamago and Tempura Teishoku.
The food was good quality and delicious! They have stamp cards too so don't forget to stamp it before you leave!“

“The most amazing hidden gem. If you’re craving some southern food on Oahu, especially a good brunch, this is it! My favorite is the bacon egg n cheese biscuit with a side of gravy and a side of grits. Get there early if you want grits, they run out! Been here twice already and can’t wait to go back!“

“Kimchi fry rice is amazing and the poke is fire, definitely on my list of top grinds.“

“This has been our go to brunch spot for the last several years. The food is amazing - the Oscar Benedict (crab/corned beef) is one of our favorites! The coffee w/cookies and especially having the milk/cream warmed is the perfect way to start the day. The peaceful atmosphere with its view of the blue ocean and Fort DeRussy park makes this a truly special place. Most of all, the staff is amazing… Summer, Feliciana, Chris, everyone! They have truly imbued the spirit of Aloha.“

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

“Chef Ray puts so much care and thoughfulness into his food you can taste it in every bite. Dehydrating Shizo leafs and once garnished with lemon the dehydrated powder turns a spectacular and tasteful red colour. The wonderful Haikiado scallops and uni combination was delightful. The home made cherry blossom salt garnishing was not only beautiful it added a glorious dimension to the white fish sashimi. The cost is high but the omikaze is worth every bite!“

“While on vacation in Waikiki, my family and I were looking for a late night dinner and most places were closed already. But we found Aloha Melt and ordered delivery, and they did not disappoint! We got the Classis Melt and the Patty Melt, along with a Creamy Tomato Soup. Everything was bomb!“

“We wanted Asian food for breakfast and googled this place. It’s hard to find because it’s tucked in a square. However it was worth it. The food is made fresh and replaced often due to the foot traffic. It taste amazing and the price is right. It’s not super pricey and it taste so good. It’s grab and go and there’s tables outside. Perfect to get picnic snacks.“

“Awesome food and cocktails“
