Reviews for Peace Cafe in Honolulu, HI
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 foodI've ever had, drawing from Korean, Japanese, Moroccan, Mexican, and American cuisines to provide uniquely delicious dishes at areally reasonable price. While the takeout-only operations took away a bit of the experience, I was honestly just so gratefulthat Peace Cafe was still open during the pandemic and that I was able to try out their amazing dishes! I opted for their katsuplate with tempeh, and it was absolutely incredible -- the breading on the katsu was delightfully crispy, and the tempeh wasremarkably flavorful. The katsu sauce was also amazing -- it had the most delightful curry flavor, and I honestly wish that Icould just buy a giant bottle of this and put it on everything I eat. Between the black and brown rice and massive tempehcutlet, the plate was incredibly filling, so I was really grateful for the little side salad and mixed greens to lighten up themeal. My friend tried out their katsu plate with tofu, so I had the opportunity to do a little side-by-side comparison of thetofu and tempeh -- both are absolutely delightful, but I, personally, thought that the texture of the tempeh paired a bit betterwith 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 justlooking for something with a softer consistency), the tofu is a really solid choice. One of my other friends tried out theirheart and Seoul, and also loved their vegan take on traditional Korean flavors. I honestly don't think you can go wrong withanything on their menu, and I can't wait to find my way to Hawaii again to try out some of their other dishes! Read more
The food was delicious and the staff was absolutely amazing! A super cozy and friendly café that's worth to stop by for a meal... or even a drink. We ordered food to dine in and every meal we tried was incredible. The yuzu lemonades are refreshing and themeals are filling but not too heavy so perfect before a day full of activities in Waikiki or it's surroundings! The matcha wasto die for! Overall we would definitely recommend! Read more
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. Youcannot sit inside to eat. They have an outside bench. Read more
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 theone 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 Idived right in ???? Read more
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 prettyreasonable 15 minutes. Thank you for a great lunch and an all vegan menu ?? Read more
The staff gave us a warm welcome. When I first stepped in, I was overwhelmed with colourful options on the menu but the lady was... very helpful in offering recommendations based on what I normally enjoy. I ordered the super green smoothie, these desertsquares (which were yummy), and Loco Moco meal. Home made meals with generous portions! My meal overall was good, however Ifound the mushroom brown sauce too salty and abit too much of it for my personal liking. In the future I will simply ask for iton the side and add as desired. Don?t be put off by the exterior of the building (which is in need of refreshing to reflect thebrand better) but once you are inside the service and food is decent. Local hand made Jewlery also on offer. Read more

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 andjust the right amount of sprouts to give it a lovely crunch. Both were healthy portions and left us feeling full satisfied andwith a smidgen extra for a snack later. Would love to try the Moroccan stew and other delicious sounding eats. Read more
