Reasonable pricing. Eclectic selection of dishes that cater to various diet plans. Most dishes are high in sodium content. I did lower the rating due to noticeable people openly coughing on exposed muffins and utensils while the carefree staff does nothing to correct. Also, we found metal shavings in the stew in December (kitchen staff said it might have been from the canned goods) and decided not to return after having to visit the hospital for x-rays. Once again, shouldn’t the carefree staff be more professional? Debating on calling the Department of Health.

Wanted to get vegetarian food for “Green Monday” today and so glad I came here. Got Korean “chicken” and detox soup + salad. So good! “Chicken” of course doesn’t really taste like chicken but it’s tasty in its own way. The soup is like it says in the menu, *very* lemony and gingery. You’ll love it if you like lemon and ginger. Very so refreshing. Also, you can order on their website and pick up to skip the lines, no extra fees!

Mama T's vegan food is so delicious and healthy. The best! 🌱

I recently discovered this place, and it has become one of my favorite places to grab lunch. I am not on a vegetarian diet, but I am trying to eat a more plant-based diet. So far everything I have ordered here has been quite tasty and the portion size is reasonable for the price. The servers have always been friendly, and the place looks clean. Today was the second time trying their tofu poke "bowl" special. I opted to get the poke with all greens, and I like that the "bowl" came with two varieties of tofu poke: limu and spicy. Both were good, but I liked the limu better. The spicy poke was good, but there was a bit too much sauce, which made it a bit salty, and it was not spicy at all. I would definitely get it again, when it is available. Looking forward to trying all the other dishes too!

I am often intimidated by vegetarian/vegan places as a carnivore. However, having just destroyed a 3-choice plate lunch at 'Umeke Market with as much gusto as a starving fat kid at Old Country Buffet... Well, this place blew me away. I already *miss* the Korean Mock Chicken (totally worth the extra 1.50) and the last bite is still in my mouth at the time of this post. Spinach Dahl (pronounced dall, I think) also excellent. Rice tasted very healthy. We also had the Kale Falafel (not pronounced kah-lay like this moron did whilst ordering) and it was alright, but nothing special. Recommend getting a 2-choice plate, get the spinach dahl, the mock chicken, and whatever side floats your boat. If you get a salad side, get the cilantro dressing.

Came here twice for breakfast during a two week trip to Honolulu. Very friendly service; had the Tofu Scramble (best I’ve eaten!) and the Oatmeal. Wish we could’ve had the chance to try some of the lunch options as well as they looked very appealing.

Ok first, the cashew cheese. SO GOOD. Got a gyro with the Korean mock “chicken” (wheat gluten) and wow so delicious and flavorful and a great portion too. Can’t wait to try the other food options.

The staff were very friendly and gave good food suggestions. I enjoyed the pesto pasta salad. The parking is available at .75 cents per 30 mins at Alii place parking structure across the street on Alakea. The found the dining area to be a bit sticky.

This place is most my favorite place. I can feel/ taste I & I vibes 🤙💛💚❤️ I always get kalo stew. Support local and having amazing meal is make me feel good 😊

Nourishing. Delicious. Restorative. Pono. This is definitely the place to go eat after a hard battle at the nearby Capitol, Courthouse, or other edifice of Colonizer Babylon. This is real warrior food that sustains and builds inner strength. Some favorites: the Nachos (omg so good!), the kalo stew, the spring rolls. They often sell day-old musubi for cheap; these are an amazing deal for a fast cheap refuel! And who else has a Kū Kia’i Mauna flag behind the counter in downtown Honolulu?? That alone gets 5 atmosphere stars in my book. Don’t take my word for it. Try it. If you are a kia’i interested in vegan food but a little scared to try any kine place, this is an awesome place to start! Kū Kia’i Mauna!!

Kalo aina stew is hands down my favorite dish. If you love squid luau, like I do, give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I didn't even miss the squid.

Wonderful food and kind/fun staff. I just wish it was open later or on the weekends so I could have it more often but I enjoy it when I can and makes a great treat for myself.

Really Good Vegan Food. I love their Monkey Oatmeal, Breakfast Burrito and I also tried their Ulu muffin (gluten free/ dairy free) it’s so yummy. It’s worth experiencing 👍👍.

We would eat here all week if we could. Welcoming people, healthy and tasty burritos, and great range of smoothies. Oh and the music is rad!

I love Umeke Market. The best vegetarian restaurant downtown. Their food is really good. My favorite is the coconut curry. I try to go here for lunch everytime I'm downtown.

Love this place! I love all the different specials they have and their breakfast burrito is awesome! The owner and staff is very friendly as well.

Vegan. Fast. Really good. Lots of restaurants in the neighborhood. Very few with as many healthful options as Umeke Market. When they have the stuffed peppers, order that. TBH, I love this place, but the falafel sucks.

As a non vegetarian, I have to say- the food was great- as great as the friendly service I got. Rather than try to make non meat like meat, their dishes (I tried 6) was happy just being its delicious selves. Highly recommended to meat eaters, as well as v’s, of course.

We had a delightful lunch. Although we arrived just before closing, the staff did not rush us. Rather they cheerfully answered our questions about the restaurant and made suggestions about what they liked. We would give them 7 stars if we could. To be clear, they are setup like Chipotle. You select preprared items as you pass along the the line. The coconut curry soup was delicious and the giant vegan cinnamon roll was a real surprise treat.

Really good food and really good sized portions. The price is a little high, but rent isn't cheap I suppose, and I do believe in paying your employees a livable wage. Totally recommend!

Some of the best breakfast food you'll find on the island. Great menu and spectacular flavors. Be warned the serving sizes are large, a burrito or taco is easily enough to start your day off right. The staff is very friendly and helpful so feel free to ask questions and see if they have any specials. The dine-in area was closed in Oct due to COVID measures but when it opens back up they have a good amount of seating space. Note, follow the walking instructions from Google maps, the address applys to the entire block and you can spend a lot of time walking around trying to find it.

The Korrean chicken and kalo curry was Ono. Staff made great recommendations, and portions were generous. Hope they pop up on Big island one of these days!

Looking for some good clean eats, this is your place. Kalo stew, kalo curry, falafel salad and faux Korean fried chicken are some of my favorites. Plus they take Apple Pay, so its easy to grab and go. Enjoy!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I'm giving this place 5 stars for their smoothies honey buns spinach dishes, gyros with cilantro dressing wow. They are my motivation for the start of a long work day. Thank you

Delicious! I had the BBQ jackfruit sandwich and a salad. It was the bomb!! Totally recommend. Parking down town is the only issue. Worth the trip down town.

Their delux salad is a whole meal! I love how many vegan and vegetarian options they have.
