Reviews are high for a reason! - Edit
I ordered takeaway right as the doors opened. The hostess was so nice and my order was completed incredibly quickly.
Read moreI had the Shizen Shittake mushrooms, Pokai roll, and Kailua roll. The rolls were fantastic but the mushrooms? WHAT?! I wish I would have ordered more! I couldn’t stop audibly “mmmm”ing after ever bite! I had never had a tofu stuffed mushroom but I am for sure going to try and make them at home, now!
The rolls were super fresh, flavorful, and absolutely beautiful. The sauces was delish! While they were both delicious, if I had to choose, I think I like the Pokai the best.
Definitely don’t skip out on this restaurant. I can only imagine everything on the menu is just as tasty!

Absolutely perfect vegan sushi - Edit
This is the spot to go if you’re looking for plant-based sushi on the island! And it’s not just veggies wrapped up in a roll, they carefully craft their ingredients to create sushi that is original and so delicious you’ll wanna keep coming back. 🤍
Read moreI always get the wedge because it’s extremely flavorful and has a delightful crunch. I believe it’s one of their best sellers 🔥 all the rolls are out of this world though and even the ramen was impressive!
It’s verrrrry expensive but totally worth it for a date night or dinner with a group. 5/5 ⭐️ for sure
Pros: Every roll is fire, Ramen is amazing, Friendly and super helpful staff
Cons: Expensive af (but hey lol) , Literally nothing else ☺️

Sushi - Edit
I agree that the sushi is the star here. Ordered the wedge and Pacifica specialty rolls, garlic miso ramen, edamame, and gyozas. The wedge roll was the best thing, in my option. Next I would say the ramen. All in all, definitely a nice sushi spot. My next visit I will focus on the sushi. I would recommend to make a reservation as well if you want a table and are opposed to bar seating.

Love an all vegan sushi spot 🤌🏼 - Edit
Everything we ordered was pretty good, esp the shizen shiitake and the wedge roll. Price makes sense for Hawaii and the restaurant’s atmosphere. Service was great too.

Best Sushi! - Edit
Sushi has never been my favorite, mostly because I’m bored of getting an avocado roll or any of the few other classic options for vegans. This place completely solves that problem with a ton of beautiful, complicated, and DELCIOUS, options. Couldn’t recommend more highly!

You can’t go wrong - Edit
This is the original Tane, and it lives up to its reputation! If you’ve been to the Berkeley Tane, you’ll find it has a very similar menu with the exception of a couple of local dishes. The Pokai roll was quite good.

Not a sushi fan prior, been vegan for 25 years. But this place…., changed my mind. Fresh, expertly prepared, beautifully presented in a flash and absolutely delicious. As a designer, really nice job on interior in this little neighborhood spot.

A wonderful experience that makes me smile every time I think about it! - Edit
Tane Sushi in Honolulu is a true gem in the world of fine dining. What sets it apart is not only its incredible sushi but also the fact that this delicious restaurant is completely vegan! The staff is fantastic, always attentive to your needs. We had the pleasure of sharing some of the best sushi we've ever had. Just a heads-up: make sure to make your reservations well in advance, as this place is understandably popular!

Best vegan sushi ever - Edit
Delicious and innovative vegan sushi. Everything we had here was amazing. They used smoking and other techniques to bring unique flavor profiles to the dishes. We got both take out one time and ate in- both were great. This is a place that makes you so grateful for the innovation occurring in vegan food! A must hit if you’re in Oahu.

Best sushi I’ve ever had. - Edit
If you are on Oahu, you MUST go to Tane. This was the best sushi I have ever had in my life. We ordered miso soup, 3 specialty rolls, the agedashi tofu, matcha beer (?!) and got another specialty roll and cheesecake to go because it was that good. Every dish was outstanding. This was our favorite meal on Oahu by far. Even the bf that eats fish, said this place was his favorite meal on our trip!

OMG, So Good - Edit
Can get expensive, but I loved everything. It's so inventive how they make sushi-like stuff that tastes fresh and not like processed vegan meats. Fun place. Need to go back!

AMAZING VEGAN SUSHI! - Edit
I brought my non-vegan family here and there were amazed at how delicious everything was! We sampled a bunch of speciality rolls and they are all great. The Wedge and Ewe were my favorites. I liked the gyoza but I’d probably skip next time. The bao was super delicious. We got a somewhat pricy cheesecake too but it was delicious. Everything was beautifully presented. So happy I got to visit.

The food was all so amazing. Some signature dishes you won't find elsewhere. So hard to choose, we asked our server and took suggestions, so glad we did. Meat eaters would be happy here, anyone would be unless they're truly unhappy people.

This place is insane. We tried so much food since we only went the one time and it was worth it. The Wedge specialty roll is an absolute must if you only get one thing!

With not a huge love for sushi and a sore in my mouth I didn’t enjoy the experience as the other people in my party. the food was good. especially the taste and texture of everything. would recommend the wedge and pacifica specialty rolls, along with the gyoza and the cheesecake. would come here again hopefully with no mouth pain!
