Review Peace Cafe - Honolulu

Made an advance phone order and very much enjoyed our nourishing meals here. Tried the tempeh katsu curry which was so satisfying, filling, and full of textures and flavors. The peace plate had lots of fresh colorful veggies but I couldn't help wanting a more substantial protein on there besides hummus, although everything was delicious. Looking forward to coming back and trying more things like their raw vegan cheesecake :)

We love Peace Cafe. 100% vegan (and no sugar). They periodically have specials but we love the Hanoi sandwich, tofu katsu curry and BBQ tofu (or tempeh). Nice salads and desserts too!

Really great vibe to this place with delicious food. Lots of great options here. We got the curry katsu plate. It was delicious. The curry itself was wonderful and we appreciated all the veggies. The tofu katsu was a bit too deep fried for me, but the meal was very good overall.

Vegan restaurant, clean, fresh, healthy food. Environmentally friendly! I had the Popeye sandwich and the black sesame kinako latte! Very tasty!

TASTY and healthy vegan food! Fresh and dynamic flavors. Great range of options. Very kind staff and chef! We visited 3 times during our vacation 🌈 Been vegan/plant based for years and this is one of the better options in Honolulu! Would save more pix but we ate too fast 🤭❤️

Very friendly staff and delicious food. If you want something light and plant based, this is the place!

Let me start by saying I am not vegan, my best friend is. I had the BBQ Tempeh and she had the Katsu. Both excellent meals. The portions are on point!!!! I was completely stuffed and had to take some home. I highly recommend this place to those vegan and non vegans folk. The girl who was working there was rocking the front and the kitchen, major props to her for keeping a kind face and taking care of everyone.

I can’t get enough of this place! Such amazing flavors and all whole foods! I’m not a junk food vegan, so really appreciate the commitment to healthier foods, but not at the expense of taste. Lots of gluten free options, all free of refined sugars, and the Moroccan chickpea dish is oil free. Sometimes there are oil free mochi too. All staff are super kind, patient and helpful. I only wish there were more seating options (it can get a little filled up at lunch.) The area isn’t the most desirable, so you probably won’t want to picnic in the park. Street parking has never been a problem.

Very delicious vegan food. Portions are generous, you won’t feel hungry after your meal. We got the Katsu don which was nice and crispy and the peace plate. They have a lot of dishes to chose from, sandwiches and desserts too. Staff is super friendly. You cannot sit inside to eat. They have an outside bench.

I came to Peace Cafe on a whim for my last meal in Hawaii before hopping on a plane back to the mainland United States, and wow...I truly could not have asked for a better final meal on the island! Peace Cafe offered some of the best vegan comfort food I've ever had, drawing from Korean, Japanese, Moroccan, Mexican, and American cuisines to provide uniquely delicious dishes at a really reasonable price. While the takeout-only operations took away a bit of the experience, I was honestly just so grateful that Peace Cafe was still open during the pandemic and that I was able to try out their amazing dishes! I opted for their katsu plate with tempeh, and it was absolutely incredible -- the breading on the katsu was delightfully crispy, and the tempeh was remarkably flavorful. The katsu sauce was also amazing -- it had the most delightful curry flavor, and I honestly wish that I could just buy a giant bottle of this and put it on everything I eat. Between the black and brown rice and massive tempeh cutlet, the plate was incredibly filling, so I was really grateful for the little side salad and mixed greens to lighten up the meal. My friend tried out their katsu plate with tofu, so I had the opportunity to do a little side-by-side comparison of the tofu and tempeh -- both are absolutely delightful, but I, personally, thought that the texture of the tempeh paired a bit better with the rest of the plate. The tofu was softer and a bit more watery, but if you aren't the biggest fan of tempeh (or are just looking for something with a softer consistency), the tofu is a really solid choice. One of my other friends tried out their heart and Seoul, and also loved their vegan take on traditional Korean flavors. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu, and I can't wait to find my way to Hawaii again to try out some of their other dishes!

My favorite food that I enjoyed so far in Waikiki. Great sandwiches for lunch or breakfast. We ordered 3 sandwiches, they were wrapped very nice (no plastic), great ingredients and mix of flavors. I enjoyed the Italian sandwich, tonkatzu one, and also the one with peanut sauce. The sandwiches are really big and the bread was so fresh that even next day everything tasted fresh. Really Really delicious!!! Awesome delivery too!!! I wish I'd order some desserts. Impossible to take good pictures because I dived right in 😂

This place was even better than I imagined. Had an amazing BBQ tempeh sandwich & the Katsu Plate with 1/2 tofu 1/2 tempeh (both good, tempeh was better). Portions were huge, don't think I ate this all in 1 sitting. Staff was very nice.

Cute little place with excellent food. Peace Cafe offers a great diversity of meals and drinks, all vegan and delicious. Top recommended!

The food was fantastic and the portions were huge. My wife and I each ordered a plate and we took home an entire plate of extra food. We would highly recommend the curry with tofu. It was delicious.

Very small cafe off King St with parking in the back. It was very hot inside today. Limited seating within but all food options are vegan. There bibimbap was tasty and the pitaya smoothie was great. I would definitely eat here again.

A must try if you’re in the neighborhood and you love Katsu! When ordering you can decide if you want your Katsu to be tempeh or tofu. Would definitely recommend getting the tempeh. The plate comes with a side-salad, sprouts, purple rice and some rich curry sauce. The breading they use on the Katsu has large chunks of bread so when you bite into the Katsu you get a massive amount of crisp and a good flavor of the oil that the Katsu was fried in (I think it’s because of all of the crevices in the bread). The curry also had a very deep flavor with a lot of umami from the mushrooms used in it. The side salad also had a really yummy dressing that I wish they sold separately. I’d get it everyday if i could!

So good!! I got the tofu Poké and it was delicious and filling. So grateful for such an amazing all vegan food place with so many wonderful options!! It was pretty busy when we were there, right at lunch time, but we still got our meals in a pretty reasonable 15 minutes. Thank you for a great lunch and an all vegan menu ❤️

Best place EVER. Vegan food 10000/10. We ordered Peace Sampler & Mapo Katsu. Both of them were fire 🔥 suuuuper good. Staff is super nice ❤️

Vegan eats review: Friendly staff and you can see the local love. Katsu Curry (ordered tempeh but got tofu but still yummy) black rice complements the mushroom gravy. Would love more cucumber and sprouts next time. Avo-veggie sandwich, soft bread and just the right amount of sprouts to give it a lovely crunch. Both were healthy portions and left us feeling full satisfied and with a smidgen extra for a snack later. Would love to try the Moroccan stew and other delicious sounding eats.
