50 Best Vegetarian 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.“

“This a great spot to stop for an açai bowl while out driving the island - so fresh and delicious! Very good pricing as well! Service is so lovely and friendly. Bonus points for the unbelievable beautiful view while ordering and enjoying your food 💕“

“The food is amazing, I got the pork and cabbage comboed with garlic shrimp with rice and Mac salad, HUGGGE position size I could barely finish it! The food was all so delicious, the garlic shrimp was so juicy and packed with garlic, not to mention the 10/10 service from Kang! This is the best L&L on Oahu, hands down. 🔥🤙“

“Very good food.“

“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.“

“Great service😊 Friendly staff ❤️“

“What a great burger!! We were so lucky to find them, they’re in almost hidden spot. The order their arugula burger, but I added mushroom to it, it was unreal.
The amount of meat that you get is so good. She was even mindful of my pregnancy, and though I forgot to tell her go for fully cooked she came out and asked me how I would like the Patty to be cooked.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“I made the conditional 25 dollar cancellation fee—reservation on open table days ago, and I recommend to make one ahead to reserve a table.
Parking is next door in the building, directly map the location to marin towel manciple parking is better option for you. Then walk down to the restaurant.
The two non-alcoholic drinks I have ordered the cucumber sour and house drink of the day, I highly recommend.
Corn one is way too cheesy and strong truffle flavor.
The beef is highly recommend.
Scallop has a great taste, cooked perfectly in texture but has a strong seafood flavor.
The food takes a long time to cook and wait, plan for at least two hours. Come by earlier before the appointment time is recommended, at least 15.
Two people, we spent 255D, top included.
Service is nice and professional.
Dessert menu came after the course has done, and variable selection of wine.
Chocolate is okay.
Strawberry cake is highly recommended.“

“Maze in Hawaii was absolutely delicious. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor, with a great balance of freshness and creativity. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in each bite.

The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It made for a really enjoyable dining experience from start to finish.

Overall, a fantastic spot for a great meal—definitely somewhere I’d return to and recommend to others visiting Hawaii.“

“The food, wine, service, and atmosphere are amazing. I dine here every 2 months and I am always very impressed. Thank you for your continued excellence!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“Absolutely one of the best dinners my boyfriend and I have ever had in our lives. We travel and love experiencing good food, this was beyond that. This exceeds 5 stars and is a must try. Maki is an amazing server. What a pleasure you all were. Thank you so much. MAHALO“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Everything was so beautiful and intimate!“

“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!“

“So delicious“

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

“This is one of the world’s great restaurant. The food is amazing, the ambience is incredible and the wait staff is one of the most knowledgeable I have seen. The guest is treated like royalty. I highly recommend this restaurant“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“Everything I have had here is so ono! Love the fresh noodles made with local ingredients can't beat it so worth the wait!!“

“Had such a great food experience. Everyone was friendly. For being complete outsiders, we were made to feel like family.“

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

“🍽️ Bara chirashi (x2) for takeout
💵 $80

Fantastic bara chirashi using freshest of quality seafood (includes uni, toro, ikura, tamago, octopus, mackerel, and more), cooked with authentic Japanese methods and the restaurant’s unique twist on the dish.

Beyond excellent for the price and a must-have if you are a sushi lover in Waikiki. One box is a perfect amount for one diner.

Note that this must be booked several days if not weeks in advance (can be checked through their booking platform). Pick up is strictly at 4:30pm at the Sushi Sho storefront inside the Ritz-Carlton. Food is recommended to be consumed within the same day.“

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

“Best burritos on the planet!“

“Best food in the city and if you think otherwise argue with a wall. If you're not ready to eat beware that it's heavier food and will fill you up.

Staff is lovely and the food is absolutely amazing. I had the Aloha Melt and Bacon Patty Melt. You can easily split a melt with a friend or partner if you're both not overly hungry.“

“Awesome food and cocktails“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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:))“

“風景優美，服務品質特佳。“
