“Vegetarian” isn’t what comes to mind when speaking of Hawaiian food, but Island Veggie in Hiroo changes that.
The venue, an homage to Waikiki diners, is a macrobiotic fast-food joint with a wide selection of vegan burgers (¥980-¥1,200), sandwiches (¥650-¥700), and a la carte breakfast favorites, including scrambled “eggs” and soy chicken nuggets. Also on hand are fresh smoothies, creamy shakes, and zesty açaí bowls.
Come in the daytime; food tends to run out towards night.
