I'm so stoked I finally got to visit 9th island! The woman taking my order suggested the potato hash breakfast meal, so I had to get it. It was delicious!! Huge portion and very hearty. I've had leftovers for the past 3 meals! 10/10 recommend visiting this restaurant if you're on the north shore! read more

9th Island Vegan - Potato hash - Vegan Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

This is a MUST VISIT place when visiting the north shore of Oahu. They are located in beautiful Haleiwa town. The ambience is cute with elements of Vegas and surfing. There is even a slot machine (for decor only) in their dining area. We were honored to have met the owners, who brought their love of cooking and experience from Las Vegas to our islands. We had the Jackfruit 'Krabby' Cakes and their special of the day, the Mushroom Gyro. Oh mmm Gee! A-mazing! The Krabby Cakes are served in a bed of rice with gently wilted spinach topped with a perfectly made 'crab' cake and topped with their homemade vegan hollandaise sauce. The flavors were spot on! You can order a single or two pieces. The portion is big. We ordered two and shared. For the daily special, the Gyro - also a nice healthy portion - was laid out on delicious pita bread and piled with Lyon's Mane mushrooms, lettuce, hummus and other amazing ingredients. This family-friendly, welcoming north shore eatery is a must visit - even if you are not vegan, the flavors are delicious! You will NOT miss the meat! read more

Delicious (and we're not even vegan)!! We ventured here for lunch after one of the local guides on our boat tour suggested it, and we were not disappointed. Honestly one of the best meals we had on the island during our trip! We ordered the quesadilla, the pickle poppers and the berry smoothie and all were incredible. But the standout was definitely the quesadilla. I'll be thinking about how good that quesadilla was for a long time. Highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. Added bonus: the owners are super nice! read more

Everything about this place was perfect. Such a nice spot. Beautiful interior. The service was incredible & super caring. & tHE FOOD!! Does not get any better than this. The Mocko Loco was everything that I had been craving but completely vegan. My partner had the Jackfruit Crabby Cakes & it is actually divine. Do NOT skip this place. read more

Let me preface by saying that I am not close to being vegan or vegetarian...But i love food and my bestie that lives in Waialua is a vegetarian so I like to check out new spots. HIGHLY recommended 9th Island if you are up in Haleiwa. Its a cute vegas themed interior. The owner came out to chat with us they moved here from Vegas since they fell in love with hawaii. Her hubby ia the chef and her son ia also working there. The food was delicious! I had a "gyro" special which was so good! They used lions mane mushroom and served it with a delicious salad over a toasted pita. I would get that again. The Mediterranean pizza was also delicious! They have kombucha on tap which was yummy! I love supporting small businesses i hope they do well. read more

Vegans exploring the north shore of Oahu rejoice! This is the spot, an oasis in the north shore/haleiwa area, to fulfill your dining dreams! The place has Las Vegas and surfer themes to it. The menu has a bit of everything so you're bound to find many items that sound good, and that's not even mentioning the specials they have in addition to the menu. The staff were really nice as well. Seems like there's only two of them working so if it gets busy you may have to be a little patient. Parking was really nice and easy in the adjacent lot next to the usps. read more

We LOVED this place! It was the best vegan loco moco I've ever had (out of three places) and my husband who loves to eat meat actually loved his quesadilla too. The couple that was working there (owners?) was very friendly! We did not have to wait at all and you pay when you order which saves waiting to leave. I would absolutely return here, there were a lot of other things I'd still like to try! read more

The food is fantastic weather your vegan or not! The risotto was awesome! The smoothies are delicious! Check it out!

Unbelievable vegan food. I would totally convert if all vegan food tasted like this. Many gluten free options, too, and they are both knowledgeable and sensitive to dietary needs. The caeser salad is literally the best caesar I have ever had... no joke. Super friendly people, too. Do it. You know you want to. read more

Wow. If there is a wait - WAIT! If you like beer go across the street to get a few there. Ok, all Vegan, super clean friendly folks for sure wanting to make all right for you. The choke dip was hot and the bread with it was perfect. A bit of a "zing" to it but not too much. The Jackfruit sando was the best for sure. Thanks for binging here. read more

Awesome people, great location, and excellent food. This place needs more publicity, it's so good! Please try to support local. If you're ever in north shore, make it a point to visit this place. Excellent cheesecake, patty melt, and cauliflower wings. read more

My go-to vegan cafe on the North Shore. Love the variety on their menu. The tostada pizza was my favorite. I love the beans and chili on it. The crust was a little bread that was yummy. Would get it again. Decent personal size with 4 slices, too. Had the Mocko loco that had delicious gravy. Had the fried pickles and the side Caesar as well. Cute wooden table and walls inside. Surfing and Vegas decor inside. Very clean. They just opened 2 months ago. Love the bench seating on one side. Order at the counter on the right. They bring it to your table. Closed on Thursdays, but open 10-4 the rest of the week. Cafe is run by this couple. She minds the front with the orders and customer service. He is in the back making the food. Homemade ricotta and other items. Lots of outdoor seating in the shade. Perfect place to bring your dogs. The music wasn't too loud. Clean single-stall all gender bathroom. You can also do pick up orders. Would definitely come back again. Had a great first visit. read more

Everything was so good. The ceaser salad is the best on the north shore , lemonade was bomb, and the fried pickles too.

Love this little spot; it's not what you'd think of immediately for a vegan place, but that's what I like about it. The couple who runs this place are the sweetest, most heartwarming people who really just want to make you a good vegan meal. I took my partner here who, very adamantly, LOVES to eat meat, and even yet from bite one it was all just WOW this is SO GOOD and "when can we come back?" We got the stuffed pasta shells and the hamburger pizza, and, of course - the Cesar salad. Suffice it to say there were no leftovers and no one leaving hungry at the end of our meal the only thing I wish is that they were open for dinner so I could have their meals after work! But that's just a me thing, and has nothing to do with how great the place is :) read more

Former location of Beet Box Cafe, 9th Island Vegan brings back another vegan spot to one of my favorite places, Haleiwa. I first stopped I here before my trip to the mainland for our son's wedding. It just happened to be their opening day! Being vegan I needed some food for my long flight and I picked up a meal. This is a fully vegan restaurant located in historical Haleiwa North Shore. They offer a range of international and American cuisine including lasagna with housemade pasta, rice dishes, wraps and more. Family owned and make their own cheese, pasta and sauces. Open Mon-Wed 10:00am-4:00pm, Fri-Sun 10:00am-4:00pm. Closed Thursday. Address is 66-437 Kamehameha Hwy, No 104, Haleiwa * Outdoor seating * Dine In They have a good sized bathroom, too! Saudia, one of the owners, is incredibly nice and her husband is one good cook! when you come in, spend some time chatting with her, they have lots of experience and some pretty great stories. My quesadilla was subtly flavored and was one of the best I have ever had. I could taste every single flavor. We shared the Jackfruit "CHX" Sandwich was also flavorful and I loved the crunch. I don't know who does the prep work but the knife work is soliddddd. I notice all the things and as a home chef I appreciate things like that. They do offer beyond beef products. Not for me but I know they are pop with many. Come give this place a try, tell them Deb sends her best! SYOY! (See You On Yelp) Deb read more

My favorite restaurant on the island!!! I'm still thinking about the fried pickles, Caesar salad, cauliflower buffalo wings and artichoke dip!! My favorite of them all is the buffalo wings and Caesar salad. We chatted with the owner Saudia and loved hearing how she and her husband opened their dream restaurant. We definitely plan to return and try the rest of the menu. Every meal was a work of art, incredible thought to flavor, texture and presentation. If you're planning a trip to Oahu, definitely recommend this spot!! 5!!! read more

Everyone should visit this spot. Vegan and non vegan. The three of us shared the jackfruit salad sandwich, mocko loco, and kids banana oat pancakes. Even our 6 year old (who is usually...... selective) enjoyed everything. Each plate was scraped clean. Truly delicious and thoughtful cooking. read more

Great food, vegan food with soul. Best vegan on Oahu not to say others are not good but 9th Island bringing another delicious vibe with its cooked vegan and sauces...Jackfruit Melt was other worldly where a carnivore would lose his or her mind that it's not meat. Truly look forward to going thru the complete menu. On top of that owner Saudia is a gem of a person and the restaurant has warmth. read more

With touches from the owners time in Vegas, 9th Island Vegan was hands down the most unique spot I ate at in Hawaii. Located on the quieter end of Haleiwa, 9th Island Vegan has plenty of indoor tables and a street-side small patio with several tables and some umbrellas for shade. You'll walk up to the counter to order, but food and anything you need will be delivered table service. As a plant-based eater for nearly 20 years, I am always overwhelmed by the amount of choices on an all-vegan menu, because as the owner said to me - "at most restaurants, you're just an afterthought!". This menu was no exception and I had to turn to reviews to choose what to order. I ordered the caesar salad as a side (a MUST-try, I'll seriously be dreaming about this salad until I'm back - and the side salad is HUGE, it could be a meal in itself) and the Jackfruit Melt Sandwich. The sandwich was like nothing I expected and was slammed with flavor. Their jackfruit is so unique. I will be looking forward to trying more on their menu next visit. read more

Still day dreaming of this vegan ceasar salad wrap from back in May! It was amazing, perfectly garlicy. The fried pickles were also delish. I wish I can have it right now but too bad it's in the middle of the pacific. I just need to take another vacation to Oahu! The owners were just amazing and so friendly. Highly recommend going here. They also have many gluten free options if you need that too. The decor was Vegas plus surf shop. I loved everything about this place. read more

We ordered the Jackfruit Patty Melt and DYL Pickle Poppers. I love it when you can chat with the owner. She took our order, answered our questions, gave us a taste of the jackfruit and explained how her's was different and better. I had never had it before, but it hit the spot. With a choice like this, why would you even think to eat at McDonald's down the block. Well, that was never a consideration for me anyway. My wife and I split the Patty Melt and we were both full, so serving portions are plenty big. You'll learn something about the owner by the decor. Check it out. Overall A+. read more

Cute spot with vegetarian and vegan options. Something different and helpful when you need to find something for your vegetarian friends (my other half). We enjoyed our meal and the many options. It was nice to have options. Service was attentive. The only thing is it didn't leave us wanting to come back for more, not sure what was missing but something was amiss. read more

This place is a vegan gem! We enjoyed our food so much, we forgot to stop to take any photos lol Fun, classy, Vegas, surf vibes make this place a great little North Shore stop! Family run with each dish executed perfectly! You gotta stop here and see what's good (hint: everything!!!!) read more

The food was incredible and I loved the berry/kale smoothie. I would highly recommend this vegan restaurant experience.

My first meal on the island and it was delicious!!! The Lion's mane mushrooms made for a delicious gyro.

OMG! This was probably the best meal I had in Oahu! The spot is super cute and super cozy with outdoor seating. The service was great. It is family run and they are very nice. I had the Vegan Moco Loco and it was the best ever. Every bite was just yummmm. I can't wait to go back and try more. It well worth the drive and time to get a great meal. read more

9th Island Vegan - Patty Melt - Vegan Near Me - Haleiwa, Hawaii

This is truly a mom and pop operation. Saudia, her husband and son have created an incredibly warm, inviting, marvelous and creative vegan restaurant. The vegan loco moco with the homemade gravy was to die for, and the lion's mane mushroom dishes were amazing - the tastiest mushroom preparation I've ever had (I believe she said charred, marinated and recharred). Don't miss 9th Island Vegan if you are in or near North Shore. read more

Today we went to 9th Island Vegan Restaurant. A friend said you MUST try this place.. so we thought "do we really want to drive all this way for lunch"?? OMG we were so so glad we did!!! 9th island is in the historic surf town of Haleʻiwa and all I can say is WOW! We were so impressed! The wonderful and very kind family owned fully vegan Restaurant is truly Magical. The owners are from Las Vegas.. so it has a cute Vegas Vibe. The owners are so friendly and welcoming and gave us great suggestions and we talked about why they became vegan. The food is Truly amazing!!! Even if you aren't a vegan or haven't really enjoyed vegan foods in the past I know that you will love it. The husband wife and two kids aren't chefs by trade but learned and perfected recipes that are just phenomenal. It's almost as if you can taste the Love and time that was put into your meal! The food is so creative and delicious. We had three things: buffalo cauliflower bites, Cheeseburger Pizza and the special Ioins made mushroom (that Looked just like meat) over a bed of freshly made fettuccini . The cauliflower was a perfect balance of healthy and fried with a rich ranch dip and and crispy coating. You must try this here. The cheeseburger pizza was made with beyond burger and had a lovely char on the meat pieces and again this sauce was a perfect balance of eating pizza and burger at the same time.. comforting and filling. The special of the day was also very delicious and the lions Maine mushrooms Looked just like aged beef over pasta (my photos don't do it justice). My friend who has never likes mushrooms tried it and liked it. I found it a little bit too heavy but still delish..but that's just my personal preference.. Bottom line is that you must must try this place because it is so crazy delicious! It was Well worth the drive and the price for something that wasn't just food..it was Magical Love on a plate! read more

Fantastic food, best service. Great variety! Cozy replacement for Beet Box Cafe, even nicer, tastier and more personable. Truly, made to order and owner made fresh baked goods. More than ample large sandwiches, wraps, sides and desserts. When on north shore and looking the best vegan food, this is it. Easy in and out with plenty of parking on side and back. read more

We were lucky to enjoy a delicious and hearty meal yesterday! For lunch, we were hungry and ordered the Lasagna Roll, Mediterranean Pizza, and Potato Hash. A Caesar Salad comes with the Lasagna Roll, and the salad alone would have been worth an order. The chef coated every piece of lettuce perfectly with a savory and umami dressing and croutons, fantastic. The Lasagna Roll had the perfect blend of sauce and cheese, crispiness and melt. The Mediterranean Pizza was bursting with toppings as you can see from the pics, and was so satisfying. And the Potato Hash, like the rest of the dishes, was so savory and creamy but not too salty, and came with a lovely piece of Texas toast. I suspect the chef is one of those people who takes pride in doing everything right without the pretension. Every thing was perfectly sauced, and the ingredients and toppings all used with care. Finally, the family were all lovely. They were such nice people and this was comfort food dining of the highest quality. read more
