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!“

“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! 🤙🏼“

“First time trying out this place. The food is so worth the price, I had ordered the Aji Ramen and its flavor was beyond what I expected. It was really good and the flavor was so worth it. The workers are nice and fast with our orders. Would definitely come again.“

“Very lowkey spot for mostly take-out in Waipahu. Ginger fried chicken did not disappoint at all. Most of the manapua was sold out when I arrived two hours before closing. Tried the curry, teriyaki chicken, and char siu buns. All were pretty solid, but I liked the char siu bun the best.“

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

“Came here based on the great reviews, and it totally lived up to the hype! The food tastes absolutely amazing, every dish was full of authentic Korean flavor. Service was warm and the atmosphere is cozy. Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving delicious Korean food!“

“This place NEVER disappoints! Not an extensive menu but if you are local or want to eat local they have all the choices you would want. I tried the Portuguese sausage and fried eggs over easy and some of the crispy bacon. Both were so good! It's best that you get there early because when they sell out (and they often do) they shut down. BTW this is a food truck. They're is plenty of parking b/c it's right next to a Costco parking lot.“

“This is a take-out restaurant with delicious Puerto Rican food. The pastele was larger than most had chunks of tender cubed pork. The gandule rice was prepared just how we like it--not mushy or dry, just the right moisture to complement the pastele. My husband and his friend are P Rican and they loved everything, too. The bacalao salad was mixed fresh when I ordered and had the right amount of dressing to flavor the greens. Definitely going back for more.“

“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.“

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

“Just had an AMAZIING lunch about a 1 1/2 hours ago! The staff service and ESPECIALLY THE FOOD WAS A 10 OUT OF 10! We were a party of 4 , greeted warmly within 5 seconds upon entering...Three of us had the choose 2 ..2 were the teriyaki Ribeye and Tempura as the 2nd. one was a butterfish and tempura for second and last was a single chicken katsu! EVERYONE enjoyed and LOVED THE FOOD from the starters salads and miso soup, through the delicious entrees! *one had complete meal which included drink and a green tea icecream! staff was 100% and we fealt extra spoiled as a gentleman (manager/ owner not sure) stopped by DID a funny trick and spent time making our experience extra special! I had been seeing advertisements on my phone for a little over a month and kept telling my husband! Our friends and us FINALLY made it! A HUGE MAHALO TO EVERYONE! Can't wait to come again! xo“

“Nanding's Bakery is an absolute gem for anyone who loves fresh local baked goods. From the moment you walk in, you can tell it is a special place. All of the employees were very friendly and welcoming, which really adds to the overall experience.

As for the food, every single one of the baked goods we tried tasted amazing. They are fresh, soft, and clearly made with care. I highly recommend getting their ube flavored goods. They are the standout items and are some of the best ube treats you will find anywhere. This is a perfect five-star spot for a quick snack or to pick up a box of treats for the family!“

“Went there on a Tuesday about 1130a. There are a few free parking stalls at the store, but there's also free street and other store parking across the street. It's an old style okazuya atmosphere. I bought futomaki...old style flavor that i was looking for. It was quick service and I would come here again“

“Elena's has really good tasting Filipino food. My husband especially likes the sari sari. We ordered this because he's feeling under the weather and it was the only thing he wanted. We also ordered the Le Chon special fried rice omelet and my husband said it's sooo good! We also ordered pinabet and it was also very delicious. If you want good Filipino food, order from here - you won't be disappointed - probably the best on island.“

“the korean food is pretty authentic owned by korean family. inside is nothing fancy but the food definitely hit the spot.
we had the short rib galbi and bolgogi mix , which is well marinated with a lot of flavor. the bimbiba is very simple and good portion for one person.
Service is fast. didnt take long for the food to come out, the owner is super nice lady.“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Thai Kitchen is amazing! We drive all the way from North Shore for this authentic and DELICIOUS Thai cuisine!“

“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.“

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

“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! 🤤😋“

“I’ve been coming to this place for a long time now, and I feel like their quality has even improved since the last time I came here. The food was made to perfection, everything was seasoned very well, and the presentation was flawless. I wish I had taken a photo before I started eating, but it was that good! I ordered the tofu soup with beef and the spicy chicken plate (not pictured).“

“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.“

“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.“

“Loads of choices ranging from sushi, bentos, donburis, and noodles to satisfy any Japanese food craving while on a time crunch. It was relatively slow when we walked in, around 5 in the evening on a Friday, and the food came out really fast. Prices were decent as well.

The dynamite chicken donburi bowl was definitely the best thing we ordered. The chicken well seasoned and delicious with a tasty spicy mayo accompanying it on a well portioned bow of rice.
The poke bowl was lacking a little, as it missed a lot of other ingredients such as ogo and even sesame seeds, that make authentic Hawaiian poke, but it was still good quality tuna and had a bit of spice to it.
The spam sushi was good, as my son devoured it and the sushi rice used was made well with a tasty consistency.

The cashier at the counter was polite and didn’t forget to ask us about utensils and if we required wasabi or ginger for our order as well. Want to try other options next time!“

“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!!“

“Love the “old school” shop vibe and the food servings were generous and onolicious!
It’s a small place so you may consider ordering out, but our wait was worth it. We love supporting local small kine businesses, who offer great food and a welcoming atmosphere. Mahalo Nui!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Is Soo good“

“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!“

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

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

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

“This is the best place to get more than what you pay for. Got the large combination pho and they dont play around with the portions. They put a lot of meat and provide a lot of veggies to go with it. Broth is a little lighter than what im used to but I could drink the soup. I will say that the summer roll could be better, maybe add more variety of veggies like carrots or daikon? I like the peanut sauce tho. But I will definitely come again.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“My wife is Filipino so I chose here. The pizza was alright, sauce wasn't anything great through, my wife tried a favorite of hers but it didn't compare to her families cooking. The price was great though and portions fantastic. A mini pizza was enough for me but I think I would have been disappointed if I'd gotten a whole one for myself.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ❤️“

“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“

“I've been going here for years and love it in a pinch when my normal haunts are packed or closing aunties make it super fast and the portions are solid. The one thing I'd say I always notice is that the veggies tend to condensate and slightly pool depending on what you get especially the shoyu potato. I guess another is sometimes post Covid I noticed they kinda slow down on the rice depending on when I go. I love heaping rice so I'd definitely want more consistency between visits but none of these are enough to stop me coming back again and again. I'd definitely say it makes my honorable mention for meat jun easy.“
