50 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Waipahu

“my favorite is well all of it, Ahi poke bowl to pick one. nom“

“Nice selection of traditional Hawaiian favorites at reasonable prices and generous portions!“

“When I have meetings in the Leeward area, I always stop by to get some deep fried manapua to bring!! They're now called Aloha Island Manapua, but their deep fried Manapua is still ono and their baked Manapua and dim sum is SOOO good. Their bentos are also super reasonable and their hot lunch selections so good. I recently got to try their sweet sour spare rib and it was so tender and tasty! Check them out. They cater too!“

“Always great tasting fresh food and they change their specials every day plus large portions make my opu really happy every time I stop by! Totally recommend this place! 🤙🏼“

“Easy to shop!!! Good prices too !!!!! Loved it !!!!!“

“We got a lot of food I prefer sweet but was really wanting savory this morning.

Picked up the tuna and corned beef and it was very very yummy. I also grabbed a pack of what looked like steamed dumpling it had beef inside might be my favorite thing I got.“

“Really great food at great prices! A great neighborhood place to eat at or to grab a smoothie or milk tea! 😉“

“Such a good experience! The portion sizes are huge! Especially the Aji ramen bowls so it’s very easy to share. We brought our vegetarian friend as well and the staff made sure to make the broth safe for her to eat. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly.“

“Was...ok. Food is reasonably priced and good portion sizes, staff is super friendly and really on top of getting the order in and out.

The food was just kinda...bland, even the sausage didn't have alot of flavor. The eggs seemed to have 0 seasoning.

Not sure i would stop again.“

“Yes did a take out 1st thought my red hat ladies would enjoy staff was friendly and kind. Everyone had a great time. Food was delicious.“

“Awesome Service helpful staff informative great place to eat in Pizza is bomb 💣“

“You can also eat in the store, but they give you food in disposable containers. After ordering, it was so large that I had no choice but to go, so it was convenient for customers. I ordered one serving of the special set and kimchi pancake, and 2 adults and a 3-year-old child ate it together. I packed the leftover rice and side dishes well and was able to eat until breakfast. When you order a dish, you can choose four side dishes, including kimchi, seasoned seaweed, stewed potatoes, japchae, seasoned bean sprouts, seasoned cabbage, etc. All four we chose were delicious and both the ribs and kimchi pancakes were excellent restaurants. It was the most cost-effective and satisfying meal during my trip to Hawaii?“

“I had a Baby shower on Feb 23 2025
For 135 guest. Held at Tech Park Mililani. Russel the owner is excellent to worked with. Any questions u have he gets back to u in a timely matter. He follows up and any needed adjustments he follows thru.We picked 5 main entree..noodles..garlic chicken..beef broccoli..shrimp tempura..and rice ..Mac salad..toss salad came with the entrees also included the paper goods. Because I had 135 guest I had free delivery with a server. They set up and breakdown in timely matter. Everyone enjoyed the food. Excellent service..would definitely recommend them“

“Great service and delicious food! ❤️❤️“

“You do need to go there early in the AM. They do run out before closing. Sometimes if you know what you want it is best to order ahead of time. My husband loves the chicken and oshi sushi. They do mix the type of sushi (rice) with either musubi, maki or/and oshi. The bento comes in two sizes. Check out their website for choices.“

“I'd never been to this establishment before and was surprised at how great it was! There's a nice variety of dishes to choose from on their manu, the service is attentive & friendly, their prices are reasonable, and there's ample free parking. If you go for dinner the sunset views are spectacular! On certain evenings they have local musical groups entertaining diners as well (it can get loud, so request outside dining if you prefer a quieter setting), and membership isn't required for dining. I highly recommend enjoying a lunch or dinner here!“

“I arrived at 11 am and they were already sold out on all their food except for the beef stew, so I bought the beef stew with once scoop of rice and macaroni salad and green salad, which came to $11. The server was very nice in explaining about what she got left and she gave so much that I was barely able to finish and the food was very good. This is a definitely a hidden cheap eats gem in Waipahu.“

“The efficient aunties here take care of business! They bust through the line quickly and then you have your food really quick! I got the December special with an add-on and everything was good. These aunties take care of business and they take care of you. Much respect and love to them!“

“The Filipino deserts app has mold. Brought these to a party and thank God it was discovered by my guests at the party. Called to get a refund and below me off as a joke. Mind you my wife and I live one hour away and demanded that we bring back the product that was purchased back to them to inspect. I have been purchasing deserts from them for over 35 years and spend a lot of money. So sad and no accountability and glad no one got sick. I will be letting the San Bernardino health dept know of this crooked establishment not following State and court health codes.“

“I have lived in Northern Thailand for over 15 years and my husband is Thai, so I feel its safe to say I have tasted some amazing Thai food over the years. Thai Village ranks right up there with the best of the best. The Larb Pork tastes just as my favorite street vendor made for me in Mae Hong Son province. Staff are friendly and the food is AMAZING. I definitely recommend it.“

“Just beware that this place gets a CRAZY amount of orders on weekends and any holidays. You're going to be waiting like 30+ minutes and up to 40 minutes. They say it's because there are so many people making phone orders on those days. So you might as well get a drink or coffee and get ready to be patient. They are a small team and you can see they probably only have like 3 or 4 people cooking. The food is great and it is a nice place to relax and dine-in at. But just know you WILL be waiting a long time on weekends.“

“Great waitress, very friendly! Also, wonderful food!“

“Hey gotta say I really enjoyed my butter garlic shrimp ramen!! Bok choy, bean sprouts, lotsa egg and even Kim chee!! And the shrimp was yummy! 🤤😋“

“Is Soo good“

“**CASH ONLY** Finally got to try this place in Waipahu since heard good things about them and WOW..... This place is one of the best on island for Puerto Rican food??

Located near the Waipahu Bus Depot, its a take out only restaurant with some outdoor seats.

Came when it almost closed so there waa no Mac salad already, so ordered the Hapa Plate that came with Gandule Rice, Pastele and Bacalao Salad. Food was legot and worth the price. Too bad the hours are tough for me to come more often.... Highly recommend if youre in the Waipahu area??“

“I had kimchi stew and pork belly and it was really delicious! The ribs were especially soy sauce-based, perfect for Korean tastes😆 And the portions were really, really big! For those of you who are in the news, please order one to share.. The unfortunate thing is that eating outdoors can make you food for mosquitoes..ㅠㅠ Everything else was good!!“

“Always friendly help. A place to meet neighborhood friends for drinks and, for the athletic, darts. Service not the fastest, but that's the joy of that long time dining/drinking place. Been going there for the past twenty plus years.“

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there“

“Got a little taste of home here while on vacation! Seriously worth the drive to eat here and can enjoy the outlets before or after. Nice seating area and had other food trucks. Keep in mind it's located in the back side of the outlets and you won't be disappointed on the food. Prices are perfect compared the other places with a lot of food!“

“This is the only place in Oahu. I go for Thai food. I’ve been living often on in Thailand for the last seven years and this food is pretty close. Currys are very ono, the staff are very nice and take very good care. The Thai iced tea is worth the caffeine rush.“

“The owner makes sure she gets your order right and is very friendly. The portion sizes here are great. My husband and I were able to eat off one combo plate while also sharing an appetizer. I highly recommend the korean fried chicken plate. Absolutely would visit this location again.“

“They can customize their menu according to your wishes too!“

“Fabulous food!! Best in Waikīkī!! The food truck across the street from the convention center. 5 stars!!!! They have a restaurant too!!!“

“The catfish is constantly good always have that when I go there“

“Stumbled upon the food trucks when we were in the area. Decided to try this one out, which turned out to be good. The special was a steak dish and also had the pork/chicken combo.
Everything was pretty good, however the menu song doesn’t let you know everything you are getting. I didn’t know the chicken was with noodles, the special didn’t specify the sides, etc.
In any event, enjoyed it all (even though the Mac salad is like 45% mayo)
Would definitely get the kalua pork and absolutely would get the steak special again. It was my favourite.“

“This place was so surprisingly good, I'm happy we fell upon it. The food was excellent. Generous portions. Very welcoming and friendly staff. They accommodated our rather large group across two booths. It is definitely an old school diner style but I found it charming. They also gave us fruit snacks and cookies for our kiddos on our way out. I definitely recommend them if you are in the area.“

“Went before da lunch rush. Had the katsu curry special of day $12.99. Was big portions, but the curry sauce wasn't on the katsu (but they gave katsu sauce too). I asked the guy if can put curry on the katsu \\u0026 he did! It was the counter girls first day \\u0026 she didn't really have a trainer so took Lil long but I gave her a tip anyway bc she was just thrown in front \\u0026 trying. Was so big I saved half my plate!“

“Auntie was so thoughtful of our kids, super sweet and generous with the ginger! We've ordered delivery a few times, but I'm happy to know that going in is a great experience too.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of space and a friendly atmosphere make this place great for kids. There are also little cartoon strips along the windows for kids to look at while they wait.“

“Hands down best food we had on Oahu. Fresh, beautiful, balanced flavors and unique menu options. We’ll be back for sure!“

“I come here every time I visit Oahu. Food is absolutely authentic and if some of the other ppl in the reviews would have ever been to Thailand they knew. Would always recommend without a doubt - prices are ok, taste is great, size very good (for an European). Will be back ❤️“

“So happy that you're open...awesome food..husband tried it for the 1st time today...he said hands down the best... Love the tacos♥️👍 We'll be back 😎“

“Always enjoy eating filipino food, and this used to be our go-to place. Like most places, the prices have gone up, but food is still delicious. Wasn't crowded when we arrived, and food came to the table pretty quick. Atmosphere is always nice “

“My new favorite restaurant! I'm so happy to finally find fantastic Mexican food!!! I will definitely be eating here often!!! The chips and salsa are delicious!!! Chimichanga was perfect! Great staff too!!! #fatgirlhappy :)“

“I chose take out, so I can only speak about the food itself, not the service. I ordered the vermicelli with spring roll. It was okay! I thought the nuoc Cham (sauce) was somewhat bland, and I added my own fish sauce at home. The vegetables were fresh and the noodles were a tad over cooked. The spring roll filling was tasty, but the wrapper was a little stale. It felt like it had been sitting out for a little. Nonetheless, the food was good! I would be willing to try the food at the restaurant or a different menu. :)“

“I would recommend making a restaurant here in Las Vegas. Genki is a staple back home in Hawaii, and no sushi place here is up to par. I feel like you folks will make a lot of money, especially because of the amount of locals here.“

“Great food, good service , comfort food“

“Food was good, tried the lechon kawali and pancit. Lechon kawali didn't stick out but was still good. Pancit is really good. Had to ask for sauces tho. I liked how the tables are spaced out and not cramped. Service was excellent. There’s a bathroom which is a plus. Atmosphere is nice and open and is clean and organized. Overall great place!“

“A huge shout out to one of their cashier Andrealyn for being considerate in taking my last minute big order that needed to get pick up early in the morning. Very great customer service⭐️✅
The pork bbq stick is our favorite😋“

“Great food and prices. A must if your in the area. highly recommend if your in the mood for lechon and your other favorite Filipino dishes.“

“We stopped here to eat lunch after going grocery shopping. We ordered two hambuger entrees - the mushroom and swiss selection. I ordered mine without a bun and with a side of sauteed mushrooms also. The other had the bin and a side salad.

Our waiter was very attentive and checked on us for drink refills and if we needed extra napkins. Enjoyed our meal here.

This location doesn't honor the Chili's reward club points, so I wasn't able to gain any points for our meal or use a free drink reward that I had. Fyi.“
