Cool ambiance, ate at the counter and at a table. Food is fantastic from the appetizers to the main dish and dessert! Started with the Brussels sprouts and corn ribs! Delicious! We had the half moon, fried to perfection, then the special Kaimana roll! Ended the night with the ube cheesecake! Service is quick and friendly. I'm allergic to strawberry so they substituted with blueberries and raspberries on my cheesecake. Want to try the ramen next! read more

Vegan and Izakaya do not often go together. I can't nor do eat raw fish, and my aunty is a vegetarian, so it was a perfect place for people like us! Or just people who want a change of pace. I first spotted Tane months ago while grabbing dinner with the family at Mini Garden next door. I made a reso for my birthday on open table, so it was seamless. The vibe inside is super trendy--it's got that darker, modern Izakaya feel that I really like. Highlights: The menu is super creative. The poke tofu salad with fresh ogo was so good, and I was also a big fan of the charred shishito, the red pepper sushi, and the stuffed mushrooms. The drinks were smooth, too (the mocktails and cocktails were both solid), though fair warning: the ETOH pour is on the lighter side. Hits & Misses: They're definitely doing some innovative things, like the pickled mango sushi. Personally, I didn't think the mango meshed well with the sushi rice: it was a lot sweeter than I expected, almost sickly sweet. I also didn't really care for the agedashi tofu because the dashi wasn't traditional and leaned pretty sweet and thick, which was also the case with the aburage sushi. The eggplant and mushroom sushi were standard and exactly what I expected, though. Service: The waitstaff was super friendly and attentive. Parking is easy to find, and the pricing is really good if you hit up Happy Hour. Bottom Line: I would go back, but I'll be a little more intentional about what I order next time! read more

By far the absolute best and fanciest vegan place we been to, designated date night location without question. Ramen is great, apps are delicious, great drinks, excellent sushi with such unique flavors, love this spot. Parking can be a bit difficult at times. read more

I am not vegan, but due to various food allergies, most sushi is a no-go for me, which is a shame because I otherwise really enjoy the sushi experience. Imagine my delight when I discovered Tane Vegan Izakaya while on vacation in Honolulu. The restaurant itself is charming, with a chill vibe. The food - fantastic. I ordered the okra nigiri, the Pacifica roll (featuring eggplant), and the Kailua roll (includes mango!). All were fantastic. The waitperson was very helpful when I asked for recommendations. Overall, fantastic experience. read more

Something different and everything was good (corn ribs just too spicy for me)! They use lots of tofu and mushrooms as a substitute; rolls better than apps. Their rolls look like regular fish rolls from afar and flavor combos go well w/each other (Monterey roll had mushrooms flavored similar to spicy ahi). Be prepared that this is a lighter dinner (due to veggies) so costs could add up when getting multiple dishes. read more

We were treated to dinner at Tane by friends and a lovely experience it was. I had the "Manila Dunes" and I loved the mix of textures from the crunchy bit inside the roll to the chip on top. My partner had the "Point Reyes" and enjoyed the "just right hit" of spiciness. Service was pretty much on point with continual water fills but one strange move by a certain server who decided to rearrange all plates vertically in the center of the table, as if, we were sharing. We consequently had to reset the table because we had each made our own choice. We shared the lilokoi "cheesecake" for dessert. The presentation was lovely with a variety of fruits but the lilokoi flavor was not pronounced. All in all, a lovely evening in a beautifully designed interior. read more

Food was incredible the flavors were exotic and similar to sushi, but I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything. The presentation of the food was stunning and it made for a perfect girls night out! We had a very friendly waiter and if you ask theywill take a Polaroid if you to sign and put on their wall. Parking was convenient although if the restaurant was busier street parking might be difficult. Overall I will be returning to try more items on the menu! read more

First time at a vegan restaurant and oh my lord... sooo good. Their ramen had so many yummy toppings and was so flavorful. The Pacifica roll, The Wedge, and Paradise Cove are my absolute favorites. The crispy tempura veggies inside the rolls are so crispy and yummy. Our waiter told us to squeeze lemon on the Pacifica so don't forget to do that if you order it. ORDER THE UBE CHEESECAKE. When our waiter brought it out, our table was speechless. It was so stunning and tasted incredible. It was definitely one of the most memorable dessert experiences. So happy to have found such a great date spot with friendly service and a relaxing vibe. This place is definitely going into my regular rotation. read more

What a find. Oh wow! Thrilled to discover they even have branches in the Bay Area; we'll definitely be checking those out. This was our first proper sushi experience, and it absolutely delivered. The Wedges were the standout: crispy on the outside with a delicious sushi-style filling inside. We also loved The Point Reyes--a classic-style roll with mushrooms, aioli, and pineapple that worked well. The cucumber roll tasted great with the dip and the veg gyoza was excellent. We also tried their ramen; this was the one miss for us--the smoky flavor in the vegan version didn't quite land for us, though our daughter happily ate the noodles and a bit of the broth. The garlic edamame was a huge hit with our kid, and the Negima was outstanding (personal favorite)--bonus points for it being on the happy hour menu. Note: they had a 1.5 hour limit on the table. Ambience was great! Overall, an incredible vegan sushi experience with memorable dishes. Highly recommend! read more

Interesting choice of rolls! I've never tried a vegan sushi restaurant before so it was def and interesting experience. The "prime rolls" are bit expensive but totally worth the price, but they offer simpler and cheaper options too. The restaurant is not too big which makes it quiet and very pleasant. Service was great with a very friendly staff. read more

Tane is possibly the best restaurant in Hawaiʻi. I have been coming here since it opened in 2019 and it is consistently good every single time. The mix of flavors is world class. Vegans won't even know it's vegan. I have been to Tokyo's top vegan sushi restaurant and I honestly think Tane is better. There is a reason it is award winning. My favorite roll is a tie between the wedge and half moon. The sweet potato is my favorite non speciality roll and the tempura and tofu are great appetizers. The best thing of all though is that my son with food allergies can eat almost everything here. The staff is so attentive and knowledgeable about the ingredients. It's the only restaurant on Oahu where he can eat most items. Although we have been several times our server tonight, Andrew, really made the experience so much better. He was such a sweetheart and double checked all the ingredients on everything to make sure it's safe for my son. They have a rotating dessert that will change each time you go, tonight was a yuzu chocolate cheesecake that you would never know is vegan. Ambiance is cozy and welcoming. Parking can be a challenge but it's worth it even if it means you have to take a taxi (but if you wait long enough you'll almost always find something in the small adjacent lot) read more

This place is great! As a life-long vegetarian , I'm used to going places where there's literally only one vegetarian option on the menu. It was so nice to have so many options to choose from... and all were good! I didn't love the beet salad because I don't love smoky flavors. I didn't know it was Smoky. I ate the other parts that weren't smoky, it was also way bigger than I anticipated. Other than that, I tried a few things and everything was super delicious! The chocolate mouse was also super good! The green tea at the end was very good. I forgot to ask what kind it was. If I had more time I would definitely come back here again! I'm glad there's another location close to where I live and I'll definitely be going. Service was excellent too! Everyone was very friendly and hospitable. read more

The service was quick and friendly. It always weirds me out when servers don't write down orders but everything was correct. I really wanted to like the Kailua but the wasabi overpowered everything. I loved the crunch of the Ewa and Paradise Cove. The Leahi was not our favorite. I think the beets were just too earthy. The ramen was big enough to share. My favorite was the ube cheesecake. read more

Mostly everything I ordered was good. I ordered the Philadelphia and I can't remember the other sushi I ordered, but I also ordered Inari, miso, soup and vegetable tempura. The vegetable tempura tasted a little overcooked, but otherwise it was good. It came with a green powder which I can only assume is maybe a wasabi powder. I wasn't sure what it was and it also came with shredded Daikon. My order also came with pickled ginger, a ball of wasabi and shoyu (soy sauce) packets. I didn't dine here, but my brother, since he picked up my order, said that it was a dark ambience and really cool looking. read more

Incredible vegan dining on the island -- a rare find! 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. read more

Had really wanted to try Tane on our last visit but didn't have the time so it was added on to our to-do list for this trip pretty quickly! I also really want to give them kudos for accommodating dietary restrictions including a separate no onion/no garlic menu (similar to a jain menu) on top of being a vegan izakaya. I grabbed a reservation a couple weeks prior which definitely paid off; it wasn't full when we arrived but filled up after we were sat. We grabbed a few rolls to share and apps as well. The standout for me was the negima (soy protein, green onions) which was deeelicious. Super savory, umami with a grilled flavor that was addictive. The shizen shiitake (tempura shiitake mushrooms, shredded tofu) was also good but just not as good as the negima. Roll wise we tried the wedge, ewa, point reyes, and the leahi. Faves were the ewa and the point reyes but everything was good overall! We also tried the n/a drinks including the ginger spritz and the lemonade, both of which were tasty! Service was attentive, helpful, and friendly. Parking is street parking and can be hard during busy times. All in all a good experience~ read more

Love the food at this place. It's my go to place when anyone is visiting. The deserts are also always amazing

The Good: Ample parking in a large parking lot. Very stylish interior and nice vibes. This looks like a place that I'd want to eat at. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly attentive and honest personal recommendations. The Bottom Line: Sushi and izakaya fare were not meant to be vegan. While this is a valiant attempt, unfortunately nothing we ate was worth writing home about, and zero inspiration to come back again. I am not against vegan food by any means, but Japanese food with fish/meat to begin with is by design very light on seasoning and sauces, meant to highlight the natural deliciousness of the protein. When that protein is replaced with a poor vegan substitute, the entire point of the dish is lost. What We Ate: 1. Gyoza - Standard vegetable dumplings. Not bad, but you could get something just as good or better from the frozen foods aisle at Don Quijote. 2. Shizen Shiitake - Shiitake mushroom and shredded tofu stuffed in a deep-fried tempura shell. The sweet soy/teriyaki sauce was the only flavor and much too sweet for my liking. I feel like this could've been good with salt. I love shiitake and tempura, so I'm both saddened and surprised that this was a miss. 3. Crispy Cauli Bites - Deep fried panko crusted cauliflower. Basic bar food that you could find at even a regular American restaurant/bar. Perfectly fried and nicely done, but the (beautifully plated into yin yang symbol) barbecue/buffalo ranch sauce was wholly uninspired and tasted like it was squeezed out of some Walmart store brand bottles. 4. Negima - An attempt at yakitori chicken/negima skewers using marinated soy protein. The soy protein had an unwelcome chewiness reminiscent of mochi and again the teriyaki sauce was just unpleasantly sweet. This actually reminded us of mitarashi dango, and might have been good if billed as a dessert, but was just a sad, sad, failed attempt at a copycat chicken skewer. 5. The Wedge - Specialty roll with spicy tofu tempura and again the same sickeningly sweet teriyaki sauce. It just tasted like a heavy batter tempura with all the deep fried guilt but none of the delicious reward. 6. Monterey - Specialty roll with a king oyster mushroom, spicy aioli, and habanero peppers. Again, no flavor and not spicy at all. Could have been good with some salt and a spicy kick, which is what I was expecting but did not get. 7. Lilikoi "cheese"cake - Beautiful plating with a healthy portions of blueberries, strawberries, and pineapple, and the crust was perfectly delicious. The "cheese" cake part, however, was not so great. Left us with an unpleasant mouthfeel and a flavor that left us scratching our heads as to where we'd tasted something like this before--definitely something edible but not food. Some ideas that popped into our heads were paste or sugarless gummy vitamins... All in all, this was fusion food at its worst. Certainly more American than Japanese. Criminal lack of flavor other than treacly teriyaki that could have been solved with matcha salt, regular shoyu, wasabi, togarashi, or any number of naturally vegan traditional Japanese seasonings. I came in with an open mind wanting to like this place, and figured if anything I would feel light and healthy after a vegan meal. However, the only thing that felt light at the end was my wallet after the $65/person bill, as all the tempura-ed and deep fried tofu/veggies left me feeling heavy, bloated, and yet somehow completely unsatiated. There are cuisines more suited to the meat-replacement treatment, and good vegan/vegetarian restaurants out there. This, unfortunately, was not one of them. read more

Our favorite spot to eat at everytime we come back to Oahu. We love love love it! As vegetarians, sushi is always hard to enjoy when there are a bunch of hidden ingredients like fish eggs, etc. Love eating here because the high-end experience really makes you feel like you're eating incredibly real sushi! We try new dishes everytime and keep coming back! There is plenty of street parking out front, but make sure you book a reservation ahead of time on busy days! read more

Easy to make reservations online, plenty of free parking lot next door, nice cool ambience inside, and friendly service. These are all great qualities and this restaurant should be lauded for them. I had been intrigued by this place for a while and finally got to try it. I had sent my veg friends there and they raved about it. For me the food was fine. But I am not vegetarian and I love Japanese izakayas and don't love eating tons of rice. I guess if you're vegetarian and want to avoid bonito then this is a solid option. But for me the sauce on the Brussels sprouts was good but too overpowering and the rolls were fine but nothing special and I got way too full eating so many rolls. The cheesecake was the best part of the meal - light, not too sweet, thick crust. I think it's a great establishment and glad it exists for my friends who don't eat fish or other meat. I don't know that I need to go back especially given the number of excellent non-veg izakayas in town. read more

Labels are so overused but let me start by saying I'm pescatarian and the hubby is everythingtarian....But a vegan restaurant makes it very easy for me to order and that makes me happy. And the hubby likes to make me happy Tane Vegan Izakaya makes us both happy. My hubby loves the vibe saying it's cozy but trendy. We both love the service - the wait help are knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, and very 'in-to-it.' They make you feel like a Tane Vegan meal is such a treat and it is! Every bite is fresh, vibrant, and delicious. It's entertainment for your taste buds. Every plate is a masterpiece in visual styling. Tane is more than a meal--it's an event! We've enjoyed a couple date nights here and the ambience is perfect for a romantic meal. But it's also an ideal place to gather with a group of friends or with a couple besties. The crowd is eclectic and I'm pretty certain most aren't vegan. So don't let the 'carnivore-label' stop you from trying this place! Our favorite was the cauliflower bites. Seriously, how does cauliflower taste so good?!? And we both found the ramens souped-slurp-worthy! But there is so much more menu to try...And we'll be making reservations soon (highly recommended)! Don't let the vegans have all the fun! Make a resy today and enjoy an exceptional and earth-friendly dining experience. read more

If you thinking about it, you must go to Tane!!!! One of my absolute favorite places. Each and every dish is amazing and prepared with care and excellence. I lived in Japan for many years so I know Japanese food. And I was born and raised vegetarian, now vegan for many years so I'm picky with my food. This place delivered beyond expectation. The ambience is fabulous too as all the staff and chefs are really nice, happy and friendly. Make sure to thanks the chefs too...I often take the extra time to compliment them.

As long as you go into this dining experience with an open mind, it's so good! It is one of our absolute favorite places to eat on Oahu! It's obviously not the sushi most of us know and love, but it's still delicious! FOOD FAVORITES: Specialty rolls - Manila dune, Monterey Nigiri - Enoki, Eggplant, Tomato SERVICE: We're always warmly greeted at the host stand when we check in for our reservation. Our servers are always super attentive and helpful. Our drinks have always been filled and as soon as a plate is empty they're quick to bring our next dish. AMBIANCE: The lighting is a bit dim, but your eyes adjust eventually. Just keep that in mind if you need brighter lights to read a menu. Other than that, its a great place to enjoy a meal! read more

Had a great experience at Tane vegan Izakaya. They sell unique vegan sushi dishes and would definitely return if I'm every back in Oahu. We shared a few appetizers and specialty rolls. Everything was good. Da bao- unique bao bun with a vegan patty. The sauce is sweet Beet salad - delicious salad, healthy option Tempura - good but too heavy/ oily for my taste Pacifica- this was my favorite sushi dish. The right amount of flavor and crispness Manila dune- the sauce on this one is sweet which was unexpected The wedge- this was like a deep fried sushi roll. The flavor was good but also a little too heavy for me. Note they are strict about their reservation slots and I got a call to confirm the reservation noting that there is a 90 minute allotment before the next party arrives. read more

Tane Vegan Izakaya was such a fun and delicious surprise! You honestly forget everything is plant-based because the flavors and textures are so rich and satisfying. The sushi rolls were beautifully crafted -- crispy on top, creamy inside, and perfectly balanced. The fried bites had that amazing crunch with savory sauce that tasted just like classic comfort food, but lighter. Even the tempura vegetables were delicate and not greasy at all. And dessert... wow. The purple sweet-potato cheesecake was stunning and tasted as good as it looked -- smooth, not overly sweet, and paired perfectly with fresh fruit. The atmosphere is lively and cozy, especially the wall full of Polaroids that makes you feel part of the community. Service was friendly and attentive. Whether you're vegan or not, this place proves plant-based food can be exciting, indulgent, and unforgettable. Definitely coming back! read more

I easily made a reservation to bring my vegetarian friend who was visiting, and everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed our meal, vegetarian or otherwise! The interior vibe is dark and moody and fun for dates or a nice dinner, and the visual presentation and speed of dishes was truly impressive. The staff are also very friendly. I didn't get a photo of everything we ate, but our must-orders include their da bao with special "da kine spam", yuzu cheesecake, shizen shiitake, the wedge roll, and their Ewa roll. The Ewa still has me in a mental chokehold- the hot and crispy Tempura enoki was a perfect blend of crunchy and chewy/meaty, and the creaminess of the avocado and citrusy yuzu pearls was a perfect compliment. The shiso summer roll was very fresh but the pineapple vinegar was pretty weak and we felt it could have benefitted from a stronger sauce- it's refreshing, but mostly tastes like raw veggies. Overall, there are so many more things on the menu I'd love to try, and I'm looking forward to my next visit :) read more

Made a same day reservation to try out this vegan restaurant that my vegetarian partner had mentioned numerous times. Parking is a little tricky but we were able to snag street parking this time! Loved the interior layout of the place. We sat in the front but when I strolled to the back to use the restroom, I was amazed at how large it seemed. I am not a vegetarian but i try to eat more plant based a few days a week. I will definitely be back here. It might be the shock and novelty of this dining experience, but I would probably choose this izakaya over other sushi restaurants if I'm in the area. It was so delicious! It's just a bonus that my vegetarian bf and I can enjoy a meal without having to check the ingredient list. Please check this place out if you get the chance. Cheers read more
