This place is like an oasis in a desert. As vegetarians it was hard to find a healthy vegetarian meal in the heart of Waikiki. This place is located in a small foodtruck parking lot. The food is exceptionally delicious and we loved the vibe of this place. It reminded us of the vibe back home in SoCal. Do try their sweet potato black bean patty. The best on the menu. If you are in Waikiki and looking for a great vegan place, I would definitely try this place. Bonus: The thai truck right opposite this one serves fresh coconut water which is surely going to refresh you in the Hawaiian heat. read more

This is one of the absolute best places for vegan or vegetarian food in Waikiki! It's a food truck that's tucked in an area that has a ton of food trucks so you might have a tough time finding it but I promise it's there. I rolled up and ordered and was not disappointed. At first, I was a little incredulous of the super high prices, especially for vegan or vegetarian food, but frankly that's anywhere in Waikiki. And the amount of food you get is not shabby at all. The Buddha bowl will feed me for two meals! They cook each item to order so it takes a few minutes, but it is absolutely 100% worth it. There's usually some tables around so you can sit and wait and check out the other food trucks in the area and of course, people watch. Flavors, textures, and quality is clear. I might have to just come back to try everything! read more

So thankful for this option! Found this place a short walk from where we were staying and it absolutely hit the spot with a great house-made black bean burger and delicious toppings. Bread is a little thick and heavy especially for the soft patty so things did fall apart and it was around $20 per person with fries and a drink. Fries were crispy and delicious - a very generous serving! read more

This food truck was right by the hotel we stayed at in Maui. We decided to try it before we left. Online ordering makes ordering at places so much more convenient, especially since we wanted to dine in our room. We ordered: - Pulled Pork Fries: This was good. Not super busy and the fries were crispy. -Crispy Chicken Sandwich - The chicken was really good and the burger as a whole was tasty however, it's drenched in sauce which we weren't fans of. Makes it a bit messy. -Greek Aloha Plate - This plate is huge. It has falafels, house tzatziki, pita, hummus, and rainbow coleslaw (which was weird but I welcomed the idea). Here's the thing. The falafels were not good, at all. Could be my fault for hoping to get decent falafel on Maui or it could have just been bc it was closer to the end of the day. They were hard, burnt, and SUPER dry. To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. The valuable lesson I learned was that maybe I should just stick to Mediterranean and/or Middle Eastern places for falafel... and that I should have gone with my gut and ordered the tacos. read more

Great vegan eatery in Waikiki. It's a food truck in a parking lot. I happen to work near by and decided I'd try this place since my coworker who's vegan recommended it. We ordered to go fish tacos, fish fillet sandwich, and bbq pork fries. Don't be fooled by all the names because the entire menu is vegan!! All plant based food but it tastes great and just like their names. As soon as you finish ordering your food is freshly prepared right away. Every item we ordered came out piping hot. I got the fish sandwich for myself. The fish sandwich was large and the fish inside was crispy and sauce was not overwhelming. I also got crème brûlée for dessert. My only complaint would be the crème brûlée the top was burnt, so it was hard to eat a bit, but the flavors were there, it tasted great and was not overly sweet. Dessert would've been fine, If the sugar was not burn. Overall, their menu is huge with a variety of vegan food options to choose from. read more

Pretty delicious! I was in between the tarp burger and the pulled pork sandwich and luckily it was suggested I get the pork. Great decision. Ciabatta bun, coleslaw, bbq sauce and the vegan pork which I think is seitan as opposed to jackfruit or soy but not sure. My husband got the lemonades. This was very sugary and tart- I couldn't have drank it. But he loved it. This place is in the Safeway/Jersey Mike's parking lot with three other trucks. Friendly staff, and quick service. Price is a bit steep since my sandwich came with no sides. read more

Worst service ever. The open sign was on but there was a small closed sign in the window. The guy came out a few times talking to his buddies but never acknowledged other people in line. After about 15 minutes of waiting and he came out my husband asked if he was open and he said "yeah in a minute bro". Was rude. So we waited and waited. Finally I called and the guy was the same guy and was super rude. I started by asking when the location would open and he said it was open. He said he had to go get gas or something when I asked if he was open and he said yes then I asked why the windows were still closed and the closed sign was in the window. He replied with "AS I SAID, we are open" I hope this gets to management. See my reviews, I am always positive and give people the benefit of the doubt. But in this case it was unacceptable behavior and cost the business the rest of my business while in maui. We went to the other location yesterday when we got into town and it was the same guy and we didn't have any problems. This location is right by our hotel and this is so disappointing. We will be eating elsewhere. read more

I wish they had fresh salsa to go with the tacos. The golden fish tacos were delicious, full of flavor with a sour cream topping, and the chicken tacos were also very tasty. Both had good texture and seasoning. I was happy to find a 100% vegan restaurant in Kihei. Would we return to eat here again? Absolutely! read more

Good plant based food. We ordered vegan fish tacos and vegan pulled pork sandwich. Preparation was good and so was the flavor. They have kombucha on tap aka The Booch. Hibiscus kombucha is a good flavor to try. Spice levels - Most of the food caters to western tastebuds - very mildly spiced. They do have few spicy options. But I found them to be mildly spicy as well. So make sure you ask for hot sauce on the side if you like spicy food. Sustainability: everything is served in paper bowls with wooden spoons and forks. read more

Awesome delicious vegan food. 5 stars for having all vegan options. Cali Burrito: 5 stars. savory burrito with smoky protein. Great flavor and a little heat towards the end. Has veggies so it's a good choice. And who doesn't like some fries in their burrito? Fish tacos: 5 stars. Your standard fish taco with fried fish and slaw. I got to give it to them for the great fish flavor and texture. Pulled pork fries: 5 stars. My mom's favorite. Great BBQ flavors. Protein pieces were a little bit large to pull off the pulled pork texture/ look. Chicken sandwich: 2.5 stars. So so. Not much flavors. I recommend skipping this one. read more

Three of us got the Iron Man Sandwich (only one of three got "spicy" and it was apparently not super spicy, so spice wimps like me could probably handle it), and my mother got the cheeseburger. The three of us with the Iron Man liked ours, but my Mom wasn't impressed with her burger. My husband also got a banana and peanut butter smoothie (the "nutty banana"), and my parents got the Nutella chocolate milks, and everyone was pretty happy with their drinks! The location itself is pretty cute and small, and appears to be operated solo by the lady we assumed to be the owner and eponymous "Blondie." She was really friendly and helpful while we were trying to decide what we all wanted (we can be a slightly indecisive bunch). I thought the wall of little index cards illustrated by various patrons showing where they were from was a really nice touch! We chose to sit indoors, since outdoor tables that would take four were occupied, but it might be noisy out there with the proximity to the main road. Inside the music can be a little loud, too, but the lady behind the counter turned it down some for us, which was kind of her to offer. Overall a decent little vegan sandwich shop with a great smoothie and drink selection! I think if my husband and I are about town on our own on our next visit to the islands, we might stop by again, but my parents will probably opt for other things given that my mother never gets beyond a first impression. Definitely worth trying if you're looking for a nice vegan meal and beverages!

Parking is the greatest challenge though there are a few street metered parking fortunately they are right beside a municipal lot that's just the fraction of the cost though on Sunday all street parking are free. Though there are some cute outdoor spot to enjoy some fresh air the indoor vibe ain't so bad either with artificial turf along with huge windows that bring in the light with bench seating does give that picnic feel while you enjoy and cool of in the air conditioning. What did I enjoy...well thanks to Nadine and some gift certificate she had it was a generous morning of fresh pineapple juice with breakfast sandwich on English muffin all vegan and plant based was just so light and refreshing which is a great way to start my day.

Incredible vegan dining on the island -- a rare find!…read more Service was cordial but perhaps a little scattered (returning to the table to confirm the order we'd just placed, bringing tableware they'd already dropped off for us, forgetting our water -- minor things like that). The mai tai was unusual but palatable. The food was amazing! Still thinking about that Da Bao (Soy musubi patties, steamed buns, pickled carrots, daikon, jalapeños, cucumbers, cilantro, scallions, plum wine sauce) and how I'd like to eat it every day. The specialty rolls were works of art that were equally beautiful and had exquisite taste and texture. Manila Dune (Tempura pumpkin, spiced burdock, shredded tofu, avocado crema, chili, renkon chips) was dense but flavorful. Barbers (Smoked beets, spinach, avocado, soy strip, asparagus, rice crackers, seaweed pearls, spicy aioli, suspense) was intriguing as a little game of sushi roulette (hence the final ingredient). Whoever gets the spicy piece also gets the accompanying shot of sake. I was grateful my husband ended up getting that one because it was hot for him which means it would have been very hot for me. My only complaint with either of these specialty rolls is that each piece was quite large and therefor difficult to eat. I had to do the unconscionable thing and nibble away at it to comfortably eat it without it feeling like a choking hazard. Futo maki roll (Age tofu, spinach, shiitake, kanpyo, inari, pickled radish) was no less delicious for its simplicity. Quality was excellent, and everything on the menu sounded like something we wanted to try. We were so impressed by our meal we almost returned the following (our last) night. Lucky for us they have a restaurant in LA which I intend to visit next time I'm in town which is far more frequently than I'm in Honolulu. But would I consider flying to Oahu again for Tane Izakaya? Yes, yes I would.

Pop-up Plant-based vendor at Fishcake in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. When Irene told me that she got "in" for this month's Honobono pop-up, I was excited and curious. Via Instagram, customers sign-up for the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. They will message you for pickup time if you're selected. You may takeout or dine-in. The menu for 9-22-24 was a Bento and the dessert was a matcha flight - a scoop of ice cream, warabi mochi, and a regular mochi. Everything looked too beautiful to eat! We watched the workers assemble the bentos and matcha dessert flights. So much concentration and effort is put into each item! I was able to order one of the limited Kahi drinks. It's made with amazake, Yuzu purée, unsweetened yuzu soda, and matcha from Japan. The combination sounds odd, but tasted great! There were bits of yuzu with rind on the bottom of the cup. The citrus flavor was refreshing! This experience makes me want to sign up for the next event - October 13! I wonder what the menu will be...

HONOBONO pops up twice a month at Fishcake Hawaii and serves thoughtful plant based meals and…read moredrinks. Their mission is to share their products with people who want a fun, delicious, and easy way to incorporate plant based food into their lives, and they always try to buy from local farmers and shops. This month of November they are serving a very satisfying HONOKEEMA curry set using HONOBONO original gluten-free koji curry paste made with five kinds of spices, fruits, vegetables, and koji; simmered with mushrooms, onions, tomato, konbuk kelp, and shiitake mushrooms. Amazingly the curry is topped with a very believable HONOBONO vegan egg yolk. The curry set is paired with a mini soup and salad of the day and a small bite of mochi. We also got the Imo Frappe - a plant-based version of Starbucks sweet potato Frappuccino and the Aki- amazake with raspberry purée, unsweetened strawberry, sparkling soda with premium uji matcha from Japan. Watch HONOBONO's IG for news of upcoming pop-ups and message them for reservations. Chef and owner Himi is the sweetest and the meals are unique and delicious. The pop up is cute and casual. You'll want to make HONOBONO a repeat experience.

Love the decor

Peace Café has been my go-to for years and truly remains one of the best vegan spots on Oʻahu. The…read morevariety is incredible -- sandwiches, wraps, noodles, smoothies, plates, soups, and specialty drinks. One of my longtime favorites is their Yuzu Lemonade, but I think the new Aloha Energy Drink may have officially taken the top spot. It has medical-grade beet powder, natural caffeine from guarana, ginseng, and maca -- and you genuinely feel the aloha and the power. Today I ordered the spicy Yakisoba, and the noodles had the perfect bite and mouthfeel. The salad was fresh and crisp, and while I personally could handle quite a bit more spice, I appreciate that they balance the heat so it's enjoyable and approachable for everyone without overpowering the dish. Beyond the food, the atmosphere is always welcoming. The chef is consistently friendly, the staff is kind, and the restaurant is always clean. It's such a great feeling being able to eat somewhere with confidence knowing they're using fresh, clean ingredients. Highly recommend SYOY! Deb B

Today I went to pick up my online order and then the young cashier lady gave my order to the guy in front of me who was waiting for his order. She didn't check correctly if it was really his order, so he took it and left. When they realized what happened, they rushed to make my order again. She tried to pretend that she didn't know what happened. Hello, I was there watching what happened the whole time!!! No sorry, "just please wait...." I had to wait another 20-30 minutes for my food to be made. I asked them what happened and the owner or manager just said "we made a mistake...." Smh!! They should have given me something for compensation... The other time I went there over a year ago a different cashier lady forgot something in my order and I had to go back and get my missing item... smh!!! The time before that a cashier didn't know how to do basic math and gave me back my change when I gave her change so I could get a dollar bill back...... smh!!!! I don't know why they keep making mistakes or can't do simple things when I go there. I'm very patient and easy going on person, but I won't be going back for a while.... So sad cuz, I really like their food and they are nice people.

We came here on a rainy day. Right away, a woman greeted us and clarified that their restaurant is…read morevegan. She served us iced tea instead of water, a nice change. We ordered banh mi, rice noodle w bbq pork and spring roll, and banh bao. The food came out really fast and was beautiful and delicious. The vermicelli was the best - I could eat that every day. We were both stuffed when we left. We took the bus so I'm not sure about parking. The dining room is modest with just a few tables, nothing fancy. Those are usually the best places anyway.

Just the most amazing vegan Vietnamese food there is on the island! I often frequent the…read moreWestminster Garden grove area in California where Vietnamese food is aplenty, including vegan options. This place would compete with those over there. You got plenty to choose from even with picky eaters so you're going to find something for everyone here IMO. We opted for the pho noodle soup and the dry hu tieu which is like a noodle dish with side soup. Flavors were amazing and were only enhanced with their house made lemongrass oil which you can self serve. The place is a bit small but we were lucky to get seated immediately on a Friday lunch. Would love to come back here over and over on my trip, but may have to make decisions since there's so much food to try! The restaurant is a peaceful serene like place and has that Chinatown like theme, showing maybe the age of the place so don't expect modern classy vibes. Also there may be a bit of a language barrier so if you can speak even a little Vietnamese, maybe try pulling it out. Otherwise, just point to the dish on the menu to order! They do accept card here btw. Parking is Chinatown so try the municipal lots for cheapest option, street parking is also possible.

I also was able to dine in and they were so gracious and helpful serving it to me. They also have complimentary reusable water cups near the side with utensils. I enjoyed my time here.

We tried the kouign amann with the toppings she mentioned as vegan (the butter one is not), and they were pretty good, especially with the cinnamon topping! The young lady at the counter was very helpful and patiently pointed out which things were vegan to us, which I really appreciate. The kouign amann seems like a popular item as we bought the last of them (we had wanted four, but there were only three) and it was still early afternoon. There is a parking garage nearby that allowed for long enough free parking for us to go order and grab our goodies to go. The location itself doesn't have a lot of seating space, so it seems best set up for takeout, but it is a pleasantly bright space and the outdoor seating seems like it would be nice as they're not on a main throughfare. It's far from where my family lives on the island that we stay with when we're visiting, but next time we're near Ala Moana around lunchtime, we'll definitely stop by for some vegan goodies!

Order counter, we missed the delicious looking desserts in the middle glass case... next time!

It's in a pretty random area along kamakee street. Easily walkable from South Shore Marketplace if you can't find closer parking. It is decorated very cutely with string lights and fairy lights on the tree which surround their outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating if you prefer. The brick pizza oven is outside. The caesar salad was great, a little heavy on the dressing but definitely tastes like a normal good caesar salad even though it's vegan! The white pizza with the ricotta was amazing and pro tip would be to add the mushrooms. It was my favorite of the 2 pizzas we ordered. We also tried the Brooklyn which has vegan meatball, tomato sauce, basil and again, the ricotta. Yum! The vegan meat easily disguises itself as real sausage. The ricotta is so good on my walk back to the parking I heavily considered researching if it's possible to buy a similar vegan ricotta just from the store. The crust is also top notch which strongly contributes to the quality of the pizza. Pricing is reasonable and service was great. Overall it's a place with a very chill vibe to enjoy good pizza- whether or not you're vegan.

Beef chow fun with gravy - well-charred noodles with good smoky and peppery flavor, beef mock meat tasted fine (not weird), lots of veggies. Banana flower salad - yummy, minty, sweet, umami, next time I'd ask for a side of peanuts. Definitely would be back. Can't wait to try all the other items on the menu!
