Adequate when hungry

Definitely recommend you pack food before heading up to the park. Even their tofu cannot be made vegan as it is prepared in advance. They will not prepare to order even though it is quite expensive. 1000% recommend to see the lava but you don’t have to eat here to do so.

Vegan main dish

We dined at the restaurant inside Volcano house for a family gathering. And vegan food was requested far in advance.

The mains dish, rice with tofu and vegetables, was good and tasty. Also a big portion.
The dessert was supposed to be ice cream, unfortunately it was not possible to get a vegan version for that. We still had to pay the full price.

The kid meal was pasta with red sauce. Very very big kid portion. First it came with cheese, but the replaced with a new one without cheese.

The place has a great view of the crater and the volcano (which you can enjoy you without the meal as well).

Delish food with a view

Eat yummy food while looking at volcano!
Several options for vegans, with the removal of egg/dairy and add tofu. I had the Somen salad, remove egg, sub lilikoi dressing and add tofu. Huge portion that filled my belly. Expensive but it is Hawaii and you have an incredible view.

Pros: Portions, Flavors, Vegan protein

The only dinner spot in the area

Although they seemed vegan-friendly on paper, there was only one actual vegan option: two small pieces of tofu (fried in the same oil used for fish), a bland salad, and what felt like a kilo of plain white rice. A typical touristy spot that doesn’t care about quality.

Not many choices


Just tofu dish which I didn't try but instead did plain market salad. Got a great window seat.
Non vegans in party enjoyed their burger, pizza, salsa with chicken

Pros: Great view

Cons: Expensive

Good location

They only have one vegan option, but it’s pretty darn tasty! The tofu and rice really hit the spot after a long day of hiking. Make it vegan by saying you’d like extra rice instead of the potato/macaroni salad. The view from the restaurant is incredible!

Pros: Amazing view , Tofu is delicious

Cons: Few options , Expensive

Limited vegan options

Visited August 2023. Only one vegetarian main dish, made vegan by substituting potato salad for white rice. Fried tofu with white rice and pickledvegetables. Bland and dry but large portions.

Pros: Great view, Large portions

Cons: Only one vegan main , Expensive

Not many options but crispy tofu is delicious

We tried the crispy tofu with sweet soy and they replaced a scoop of macaroni salad with an extra scoop of white rice. It was very flavorful and filling! We got an extra side of the sauce too and was happy with that 50 cent option. They have edamame and salad with tofu options as well for vegans. They are familiar with veganism and specified it on the order. They also had non-dairy specialty cocktails that were yummy too. Not to mention the incredible view of the crater!
