Best Vegan in North Shore - Edit
Food is very good and much different than the typical food you see on the island.
Read moreWe had the Jackfruit melt, the Spinach Artichoke dip, and the Lions Mane Pasta, as well as the Caesar. The Spinach Artichoke dip was phenomenal and the pasta was incredible. All the food was much better than we expected and I would put 9th island in our top 3 all vegan spots in Oahu. I would say that our top 3 is 9th Island, Tane, and Floralia.
Great people from Vegas and brought the Vegas theme to the North Shore. They have some original stuff from the casinos which is a cool touch!
Pros: Rich flavorful food, Large portions, Very friendly owners
Cons: None!

AMAZING but PRICEY - Edit
I've been here a couple of times now, tried a variety of their dishes, and can confidently say that they are absolutely amazing!! The owners are nice and the chef loves to talk about what he does. Eating here feels like soul food☺️
Read moreWhere I believe the food is amazing, I took away a star for the pricing. My friends and I all agreed that while the food was great, the portions were pretty small for the price tag. I would suggest lowering prices a little bit to match the portion sizes or upping the portion size to match the price 🤷🏽♀️
(There was one or two dishes where the price matched what the portion was, but majority did not)
Pros: Taste, Atmosphere, Good selection of menu items
Cons: Food portions, Prices, Some tables are wobbly

Really tasty new spot - Edit
Mocko loco with a side Caesar salad. Huge portion sizes, delicious, and homey vibe. Would buy bottles of that Caesar dressing in a heartbeat. Really friendly owner. Absolutely worth the stop when passing through the north shore.

Best Caesar Salad I've Ever Had - Edit
Second time eating here and I'm already looking forward to the next! The caesar salad is my absolute favorite! Generously coated in dressing (my ideal) but my partner did say he could have done with just a bit less dressing—to each their own 🤷♀️.
Read moreWe ordered a large caesar to share, crabby cakes, and the potato hash. Everything was tasty but the caesar will always have my heart! For those familiar with Veggie Grill on the mainland, it's similar, but WAY better, in my opinion!
I had the crabby cakes and I do think I enjoyed them. I'm a little uncertain as I'm just getting over being quite sick and am still not able to fully taste things. I've never had crab before so I can't speak to how similar it tastes to the real thing, but I do think most people would enjoy. The crispiness on the outside was especially nice!
Will be back again soon for this delicious salad!! Finding a vegan casear on O'ahu isn't the most heard of so I'm really over the moon this place exists! 🤩
Pros: Best Caesar I've Ever Had , Friendly Family-Owned Restaurant, Lots of Options!

I love love love the food here! The vibe is amazing, in a cute town area. The owners are the best, so friendly!! They really took the time telling me how to achieve their amazing wing’s crispiness! I 100% recommend this place to everyone! Grab some to-go and go the beach right next to it!! Eat in to have the best talks with the owners!

Haleiwa Vegan Eats - Edit
My partner and I visited at the end of January while on a Grand Circle Island Tour. Our tour had us take a 1 hours stop in Hale’iwa and we were super excited to find all-vegan 9th Island Vegan. We had lasagna rolls, ceasar salad, fried pickles, and the tostada pizza. Everything was super tasty, I especially loved the pickles and my lasagna and salad. I definitely recommend!
Read morePros: Delicious , Generally fast service
Cons: Medium-high prices

Jackfruit & Funnel Cake - Edit
Favorites: quesadilla, jackfruit krabby cakes, and the jackfruit melt
Read moreIt’s always great to have another fully vegan restaurant on Oahu, especially on North Shore. The location is great (plenty of parking on the side and back). Their serving sizes are generous and I love the sides that come with the different dishes. I particularly enjoyed the heaping pile of fruit and cream for the funnel cake. With a family of 3 we are full from one side and one entree, but always order more and take home leftovers because the food is so good.
I thought the patty melt was just okay- but I’ve only tried it once.

Okay - Edit
I got the loco mocko which was decent and filling, although the taste of the gravy was a bit off. I was pleasantly surprised to find a fully vegan restaurant there though 🙏

Nothing to moo about. - Edit
I probably should have had the lions Mane special, but opted for the Patty Melt. It was soggy, laced with too much salt, uninspired, and not worth the price. Very disappointed. The bright spot was the side of coleslaw with pineapple and fresh ginger.

Lots of great options - Edit
The food was good, not amazing in my opinion but it hit the spot! Tried the sweet potato wrap and the “mocko loco.” The wrap was very flavorful, but almost in an overpowering way? And the vegan moko loko was made with impossible burger which was tasty but not particularly creative.

I love tofu - Edit
I had just finished surfing and had built up an appetite.
Read moreI hadn't tried this place and wanted to check it out because I had done the cosmic kitchen next door and even though that was good it was a bit too "health food" for me.
9th island has a variety of dishes available. They have wraps and salads, burgers and pasta. I decided to get the tofu wrap with no mushrooms. I don't really like mushrooms and it seems the star of the show at this place is the mushroom because it is in every dish. However it wasn't an issue for them to make it without mushrooms.
I dined in and after a few minutes this giant burrito sized wrap was brought to me. I was thrilled because I was worried I might be hungry after. The portion was huge. And it was full of tofu. The tofu was flavored so well - it was a little smokey and really yummy. I highly recommend this wrap. I felt very full after and it kept me full the rest of the day. I also felt good getting in all that protein right after a good surf session.
I also got the strawberry lemonade which tasted like blended strawberries in lemonade. It was perfect and reminded me of how my dad would make lemonade for me as a kid with the lemons from our back yard. It was fresh and perfect.
The only thing I would want more from at this restaurant is more traditional Hawaiian food. Like a vegan spam styled dish or some BBQ jackfruit with the same sauce you would find at other parts of the island. Nothing they served was particularly Hawaiian, but they had delicious vegan food in general.
Pros: Big portions , I could leave out the mushrooms, Fresh and flavorful
Cons: No traditional Hawaiian style food
9thIslandVegan
Thanks for the detailed review, we will take into consideration something Hawaiian. Mahalo

Wow. Do not pass this place up… all around delicious. Over 2 visits we tried the fried pickles, cauliflower wings, potato hash, mocko loco, lasagna rolls, and the portobello special. Owner is so friendly and personable. They make their pasta in house too! 100% will come back when on Oahu.

Must stop, some of the best vegan food we had on Oahu! - Edit
The first time in I had their Lion's Mane special with broccoli and it was a play on beef and broccoli and absolutely out of this world! We went back the next day to try the Loco moco and the krabby cakes… Fantastic! And then rounded it all out with a nice piña colada mock tail. We loved it so much the first day we went back and had lunch again the next day!

Absolutely Amazing - Edit
My husband and I decided to tour the island and stop here for lunch. I ordered the sweet potato wrap, and hubby got the portobello melt sandwich. Both were out of this world!!! The owners greeted us as soon as we walked in. The food was incredibly fresh and arrived at our table outside promptly. The cabbage slaw that came with my husband's sandwich was fantastic. Everything, including the fresh fruit on the side and the pickles, were homemade and fantastic!!!! Full 5 stars, and I can't wait to go back again tomorrow. Don't miss this place!!!

Awesome food, great staff - just go there! - Edit
We‘ve been eating here this week 4 times and we will continue to eat here. All items they sell are completely vegan and often selfmade (like pasta, sauces, vegan cheese alternatives, croutons, and so on). The first day, we came in like 15:45 and didn‘t realize, that the restaurant would close at 16:00. they didn‘t mention it at all, took our orders and served perfectly hot and great tasting food. Only when we left I realized, that the restaurant would be closed now since 20 mins. The lady is very kind and has a great mind of customer oriented business.
Read moreEveryday we had great food, tried several dishes and it all was delicious. You can orient yourself on the price: items around 13 USD are a good breakfast bite, around 18 USD are quite a big lunch and around 22 USD you‘ll get a huge plate of food. Also the food is creative and well thought through.
The business is family owned and run (husband is the chef, sons are supporting the kitchen and the wife does the service). The location has a cozy atmopshere inside and was always very clean. The orders arrive quickly within usually 5-10 mins.
Full recommendation to this - support a local family and a local vegan business. You won‘t regret it.
Pros: Great tasting food - often hand- and homemade, Very welcoming staff, Cozy and clean location
Cons: I can‘t tell a negative option in this restaurant

Thanks to the both of you. Hurry back Mahalo

They need to call this MAGIC VEGAN because it is AMAZING! - Edit
We took a drive from Waikiki and 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”??
Read moreOMG 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 saucy 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!
Pros: The food, The owners (so sweet), Did I mention the FOOD
Cons: Why isn’t this place in my town!
