50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants near Waimanalo

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

“BBQ Porto Sandwich was amazing!“

“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.“

“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 ?“

“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!“

“No waiting early morning dining! Great service! Yummo food!“

“The service is excellent, but the food is incredible! A place I’d totally recommend! The burger is simply perfect — juicy and cooked just right. My favorite: the pineapple burger 🤤.

“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!“

“Phenomenal Hotpot Experience! This hotpot restaurant exceeded all expectations—ultra-fresh ingredients, richly flavorful broths, and impeccably attentive service.

“Absolutely amazing. Best brecky in Waikiki!“

“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.“

“An unforgettable culinary experience! We chose the à la carte menu and were impressed by every single dish. Each plate was beautifully presented and full of unique, bold flavors that showcased local ingredients in creative ways. The smoked ahi cigars and the bone marrow were absolute standouts. The service was warm and professional, and the atmosphere was stylish yet relaxed. Highly recommended for anyone looking for fine dining with a modern twist in Honolulu.“

“This was definitely a different Pizza experience... their story is intriguing and hopefully this brand and cuisine comes to the remainder of the states especially Florida... I had their lime drink and it was amazing and their Pizza was delightful. 43 inc highly recommended. In Tampa Florida we have a network called The HUB and it's a place we recommend phenomenal experiences. This would be one.“

“This place deserves 5 stars. They've probably gotten over $100 from me from the past week. l've been coming in here everyday for breakfast and the highlight is the pork kakuni & egg. Think of a braised taiwanese braised pork and a marinated egg ontop. They even stuff the masubi center with more meat! The pork melts in your mouth and you cant just eat one. I order 3 a day!! Service was amazing and always greets upon entry. Ambiance is welcoming a small area where there are trays of masubis and Bento boxes. Highly recommend for this is the best masubi place on the island.“

“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!“

“I ordered the regular 4 cheese melt 9$ with tomato soup 6$, very delicious and cheesy no complain they were very welcoming and quick . Would definitely encourage you to taste if you are in the area. Tomato soup was amazing combination with the grilled cheese. Limited space to eat but nothing to complain about.“

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

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

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

“Very tasty food . Punjabi roti awesome“

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

“The food & presentation for the omakase dinner were amazing as was the staff & service! All the ingredients are super fresh and some items like sauces & toppings were also homemade or homegrown. It is more of a fusion cuisine with a mixture of many different items in each dish, but they all complement each other extremely well, and the individual flavors burst in your mouth with a wonderful umami! The clam soup and dessert end the dinner perfectly as both are very light and refreshing and alleviate the feeling of fullness after the meal. The chef clearly follows Japanese tradition of taking extreme pride in your product and continuously striving for excellence and improvement!! A most memorable experience!“

“Caesar salad is not a caesar salad, more like a tossed green salad, should not call it a caesar salad. The Frying Dragon Roll was excellent! Misoyaki Butterfish amazing! Restaurant needs an update, looks tired. Friendly staff, loved the Chefs greeting customers upstairs.“

“In the 3 years we spent on island, Han no Daidokoro was our go to spot for celebrations and just to treat ourselves. I have told everyone I worked with that this is the place to go for wagyu and it’s worth the money. EVERY ITEM IS AMAZING! Down to the fresh wasabi, which I could literally eat by the spoonful. The best wagyu, service, and atmosphere! Our last dinner on Oahu was spent here. We let our server (I wish I could remember his name) know how often we had been here and how much we love it, and then they brought us a complimentary dessert with a sparkler to thank us! It was such a nice end to our meal and our time on the island! If we ever go back to Oahu, Han no Daidokoro will be a must visit spot! We miss it dearly!“

“One of top places I miss being able to walk to for lunch when I worked in downtown. The noodles are bouncy and delicious and definitely fill you up. They’re quick, courteous, and very affordable for the quality of food. So thankful they’re open weekends even in the downtown location. Strongly recommend!!“

“Great service tasty lobster cheese burger and buttery lobster roll.“

“Was a bit slower when I went in which made the atmosphere relaxed and quiet with a low music playing in the background. Service was very good, I didn't have to ask for any refills and she was prompt with bringing things.

I definitely recommend the lemonade!! I'm not super big on lemonade but she said fresh and it kind of sounded good at the time. Boy let me tell you! If lemonade tastes like this all the time I would drink it all the time!! It's more like a limeade maybe than a lemon but was super refreshing and just so good!

The food is delicious! I got chicken pho and fresh rolls (not pictured as they didn't last). Smaller size bowl is perfect size to not leave left overs and hit the beach after. The flavor was really good with a nice broth that didn't taste watered down. The veggie side plate that comes with it came with plenty of everything for the meal. This place didn't disappoint.“

“Good food. Delicious breakfast sandwich.“
