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!

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 :)

Had a very Friendly welcome. Ordered super green smoothie lovely home made drink and a peace taster box with a colourful mixture of healthy options. They have freshly home made vegan/plant based menu.

This is a really modest restaurant in what seems to be emerging as hub of vegan/vegetarian restaurants in the Waikiki area. We drove past the restaurants a few times before the really inconspicuous sign. I am guessing they primarily rely on word of mouth to get business. Regardless, they are doing good business. They had a steady stream of customers either eating in or for take out. The young girl behind the counter was really really patient considerate with everyone. She took time to explain the dishes, their contents and went inside to check on the allergens at our request. Food is moderately priced. Their Peace Plate was awesome. Other dishes we ordered like Tempeh BBQ were average. Their breaded tofu was deep fried and too rich for my taste. I wish them the best and look forward to trying out some of their dishes.

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.

This place is so great! Super cute inside, very friendly people, substantial menu, great ingredients, tasty dessert loaves! I recommend this place for sure!

The katsu curry was sold out and I ordered only the cutlet, but it was crispy and very delicious. You can choose tempeh or tofu for the katsu.The brown rice with black rice was chewy and delicious! It seems to be only takeout, but there is a big park next to it and there are many tables in the shade. The take-out box is made of a material that returns naturally in 90 days, and I like it!

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!

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 desert squares (which were yummy), and Loco Moco meal. Home made meals with generous portions! My meal overall was good, however I found the mushroom brown sauce too salty and abit too much of it for my personal liking. In the future I will simply ask for it on 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 the brand better) but once you are inside the service and food is decent. Local hand made Jewlery also on offer.

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 ❤️

I walked here from Waikiki beach, long walk but doable with okay sidewalks(I’d be Leary to walk here with littles so close to the road). I had the peace plate over quinoa. Fresh greens, perfect avocado. The homemade dressing was just right! Great service and an amazing light salad.

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.

This was the best Vegan food I've ever had, and definitely the best meal my wife and I had the week we've been in Honolulu. Get the Katsu plate curry breaded tofu. Super crispy and amazing flavor.

I visited this restaurant back in Nov 2022. I loved the food, the service and the vibe of the restaurant. I'll be there when I visit Oahu next time.

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!

I drove from the North Shore, Saturday, February 10th, arrived at the restaurant at 6:40 PM, they were closed. 😟 Google suggests the place is open until 8 PM on Saturdays and that was confirmed by the sign at their own front door. It's going to be long drive back on an empty stomach.

Some food was good but poor in details. For example they put a bunch of just plane salad leaves, plane cabbage, carrots that makes meal “boring”, I really don’t know how to explain it. Feels like they could make sides more interesting. But my smoothie was really great, i loved it…

So glad I found this place. We stayed in Waikiki beach and it’s hard to find decent vegetarian/ vegan fare that isn’t over priced. This is 15 min away, has a great selection and really great staff who explained things I didn’t know. Got the katsu curry the first day and it was enough for lunch and dinner for me. It was AWESOME! Trying the black sesame kinako latte (deelish) and Italiano sandwich today.

Highly recommend the vegan katsu curry! Friendly staff and quick service. Super cute spot that is takeout only but the park next door is a perfect spot to dine.

Must have on island! Try two plates both very delicious. The greens are very flavorful and fresh. Highly recommend if you’ve had a long day water activities then you will love to have this large plate energies!

SO glad a friend brought us here for lunch! Take out only still but that wasn't a problem. Well labeled for gluten free and everything vegan makes it easy. We had the Heat & Seoul and Peace plate. Can't wait to go back!

The Popeye sandwich is so good, but I was surprised at how perfectly crunchy the bread is too! My husband got the kimchi bowl with an added recommendation from the cashier, to add tempeh on top and that made it 100% even better. Thank you!

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

Peace cafe is one of the best Vegan restaurant in Oahu. It is small locally owned Cafe. They made us delicious vegan and Jain food(no onion, no garlic and no roots) on request. They took care of us very well and also made us Vegan Malasadas. The chef has amazing culinary skills and their menu has variety of options. Loved the food so much and their service is amazing. Must try their food if you are in Oahu.

Delicious vegan food and very sweet customer service. Bring someone here who thinks they wouldn't like vegan! I had the vegan bimbimbap with TVP and matcha lemonade (very tart!). You can't dine in right now, but there is a park next door with lots of shade and tables to eat at.

I got the taco rice which was quite delicious considering it was vegan. The price is a bit steep at $13, however keep in mind the portion you receive is definitely much larger than their out dated menu with a vintage photo from what looks like 20 years ago lol. My only suggestion to them is that they should really update those menus. I was personally willing to pay the 13 on the portion shown because I was feeling like some organic food and supporting a local food shop regardless of value. To my better surprise the plate was without a doubt bigger.

First time. The Katsu plate was GREAT! DEFINITELY a Must Try! I had the tofu version (prolly will try the tempeh next time). The lady behind the counter is amazing (tip her well) because it seems like she's the only one working and the place gets pretty dang busy real quick.

Pretty good! BBQ Tempeh sandwich was huge and BBQ sauce was nice and tangy. Peace Sampler was okay, felt like it was missing something though, I think it needed bigger pieces of things if that makes sense. The biggest piece of tofu was smaller than a quarter, and everything else was chopped really small.

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.

Food was very flavorful and came in large portions. Also a wide variety of options on the menu depending on your mood and hunger level - salads, curries, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. Awesome vegan place!

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 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 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.

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.

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 😂

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 the meals are filling but not too heavy so perfect before a day full of activities in Waikiki or it's surroundings! The matcha was to die for! Overall we would definitely recommend!
