Peace Café

all of the workers seemed clueless and frazzled
food was okay
blueberry lime mochi things tasted like butt
décor is cute and cozy tho

Very good vegan food. I had the Peace Bowl and and also tried some of the Yogini bowl. I thought that both were very filling and delicious. I am not vegan, but I have been impressed lately by how great vegan cuisine can taste. I feel like they compensate for a lack of animal products by making the food as flavorful as can be.
The inside of the restaurant is a little small, but has a homey atmosphere and it’s BYOB.

My friend introduced me to this cute little hole in the wall. I have to admit that I feel in love with the avo veggie sandwich and I can help but order it everytime I come. I do always try his food that he orders so I can say that everything I’ve tried is delicious.
My avo sandwich is made on bread that they make in house. It’s perfect, not too dense and not too light. It definitely holds up under the moisture from the avocado and the homemade sauce. I’m not sure what the sauce is, besides yummy, I think it reminds me of a hummus yet thinner. Perhaps hummus with other oils/​seasonings. And of course there’s cucumbers, tomatoes, and sprouts to give the perfect textured sandwich.
This place sits around ¹⁰⁄₁₅ so if you cone during peak dining hrs you might be hard up for a chair. But I have been lucky and always found a seat.
The décor is very homey. Lots of dark earthy tones of wooden furniture and mixed matched cushions on the chairs.
The staff is always friendly. And able to answer all questions on their menu. It is a vegan/​vegetarian friendly spot. And will work with you’re food restrictions. Luckily I don’t have any, so I can eat it all.

Food: I ordered the tempting tempeh sandwich. It is huge and fresh, but I wasn’t a big fan of the tempeh. The sandwich comes with lettuce, tomato, and sprouts, but it had so many sprouts that was all I could taste. The sandwich needed a better balance of lettuce and tomato. With all the great reviews, I may come back and try something other than anything w/​the tempeh. I won’t order the tempeh ever again at Peace Café.
Service: The service was very good, except I requested barbecue sauce on the side after I tasted the sandwich and got more teriyaki sauce instead. The person who I asked for the sauce told me it would be either 50 cents more or a dollar, I said okay, she brought me teriyaki, and never collected the money. Very strange.
Venue: Small, clean, order at the counter and they bring you the food. I parked on the street and paid a meter, but they do have parking in the back.

This café hit the spot! I thoroughly enjoyed my vegan meal, the Tofu Scramble Set with greens. The flavour of the tofu was great with mushrooms and red pepper, and the dressing on the greens really tasty. The Mauna Kea Iced Tea was perfectly refreshing. The staff are chilled and the ambience peaceful. Will be making this a regular lunch spot!

Great salads and sandwiches. Unique combinations of ingredients. Very tasty homemade hummus. Delicious whole wheat bread for all their sandwiches. It’s a great community restaurant where your always greeted with a warm hello and a smile and alway feel welcome.
My favorite dishes are the yogini and the peace plate.

Really good place if you’re a vegetarian or for those days when you want to eat more healthily. The ingredients are fresh and the portions are generous.
They have a lot of interesting items on the menu. Both food and drinks. We had two salads today but I definitely want to come back to try the sandwiches.
The Peace Salad is a combo of spinach, bean sprouts, yuzu carrots, hummus, brown rice and a house made yogurt dressing. Good salad with Mediterranean flavors. The dressing was good but they were a bit heavy with it. Next time I would ask for it on the side.
The Heart & Seoul Salad is a combo of bi bim bap with fresh tofu, spinach, bean sprouts, yuzu carrots, brown rice and a sesame dressing. Another really good salad with fresh ingredients and a distinct Korean flavor.
The interior is earthy with aged wooden tables and ceiling fans. You order at the counter and they bring the food and drinks to you.
The place was about half full at 12:30 pm on a Sunday. Our food came out within 6 – 7 minutes. Pretty good considering they make everything fresh to order.
Will definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

This place has really tasty, vegan food! I’m always like aw what vegan why would I want to eat that?! Then I eat it and I’m like oh em gee, this is delicious and I have no guilt for stuffing my face! Yesssss!
I like the yogini, BBQ tempeh and avo veggie. You can have the sandwich as a plate too, just tell them.
They also have little snacks like granola, mochi and bars for sell. Fresh pressed juice, latte, and teas.
There’s parking in the back but there are about ten stalls and you might have to park in the neighborhood.

Finding a person that won’t take a kickback from mike o is awesome. I found that @ Peace Café. With the awesome service and great tasting vegan food, I will be returning to Peace Café to find Peace!

It’s a very small place, with a hipster and organic kind of feel to it. Can’t really explain it, so more of a reason for you to check it out. Lol.
PROS:
— Small and quiet.
— The size of the sandwich was fairly decent.
— The prices are reasonable.
— The workers were very nice and brought the food to your table.
CONS:
— Parking is in the back of the building and limited.

If you want vegan, this is my favorite place to go. Their avocado/​veggie sandwich is what I often get for lunch — I don’t know how they make their bread as good as they do! There is always something new and interesting on the menu and the folks that work there are super nice. The food always leaves you full, but not uncomfortable, and in most cases you wouldn’t even know it was vegan!
It is reasonably priced and parking isn’t usually an issue on the street.

Healthy meal pickup! I love their Heart and Soul! Pretty big portion so I usually share with my son. I also big fan of Mochi. I would like to try sandwiches next time!

Heart & Seoul with ½ TVP ½ Tofu… winnahs :)

I love Honolulu even more after finding this restaurant! The bbq tempeh with cole slaw and quinoa left me feeling blissfully happy and healthy. Staff was super-​sweet and even brought us a lemon-​ginger-​cayenne pepper shot that we ordered from the table while eating (usually you go to the counter for orders). We will be back, at least once a week I hope!

Friendly and helpful staff. Cute casual restaurant. Lots of parking in private lot behind the restaurant and street parking (be sure to have quarters to feed the meters). And they take reservations. So no waiting for your seat like other restaurants. I hate having to wait for a table especially when hungry.
Now to the food — spectacular vegetarian restaurant. I am a meat lover and I love large portions. You can rest assured that whatever you order will be very filling, satisfying, and quite delicious.
The only downside is to remind them to put the salad dressing on the side. They generously douse their salads with a lot of yummy dressing.
Sandwiches are huge and satisfying.
Prices are quite reasonable but can get pricey. Order family style and sample different items from the menu.
5 stars in every category. Whether you are a meat lover or vegetarian you will love this restaurant. It might just convert you to eating healthy and it taste good too. Try the Peace Café for a wonderful dining experience.
Just FYI — when calling for reservations the Japanese speaking person may not quite understand what you are saying. Be patient. At least they got my reservations correctly and the dining experience was excellent.

The name of this restaurant lured me in… I’ve had it on my list for a while…
However, finding people to go to a Vegan restaurant can be a challenge, but luckily, my Unilocal friends are open-​minded and adventurous, so happily, I joined them.
I really wanted to like this place, so I dined there twice before writing a review.
On my first visit, I had the Heart and Seoul because a customer (I didn’t know her) was so enthusiastic about it. I was surprised that it was so spicy — it’s like a bi bim bop, so I should have known! I tried to diffuse the heat by mixing the red hot ball of chili sauce with the tofu, but it didn’t work. I mixed in the bean sprouts in an attempt to neutralize the hotness but it wasn’t enough. I ended up mixing in the rice and it was better, but still painful, but tolerable. The carrots helped balance it out. Terry was smart — he removed that red ball of chili — arg! I should have followed his lead! I did learn that TVP was textured vegetable protein — very interesting! Not bad!
During my second visit, I ordered the Peace Plate… So much better because it wasn’t spicy! I liked to combine the various items together. Each bite was a new experience! The dressing was mild and the avocado was a treat!
Parking was easy. The first time, I got a space on the right side of King Street, before the old Stadium Park and it was free since it was after 6:30pm. The second time, I found the free lot behind the restaurant and scored the last stall!
This is a casual, low-​key, calm place. Just order at the counter, get your own water and utensils, then seat yourself. The lighting is muted and the furniture is basic and cozy. It’s a nice, healthy option. I’d return and try a sandwich. My friends ordered them and couldn’t finish — it’s HUGE!

For a non-​vegan, trying out a vegan only place in Hawaii is a gamble, because it’s one-​less local-​food opportunity at meal time. Hence my delay in trying this place out. But I finally went in, seeking a calming respite from the white noise of Mo’ili’ili– late afternoon on a Friday and only a couple people picking up take out. Sharon van Etten playing and a soft breeze coming from the open door. Still the traffic of King Street but the homey vibe makes it okay and comfortable. The Manager Paul was very welcoming and offered recommendations for a first timer like me. I tried the bbq tempeh plate– two bricks of tempeh with a tangy bbq sauce, delicious cole slaw, gummy rice, on a bed of fresh spinach and cornbread yes please. Couldn’t believe I was so thoroughly enjoying vegan food! My inner doves were released, the seas parted, and my heart sung a beaming song of thank you to the fates for leading me to this day of discovery.
Yes I realize this review is a bit over the top but I really did feel this way! My day was not going so well, and Peace Café righted the ship.
Their sign says they are now open at 8am for breakfast. Can’t wait to try the tofu scramble. Mahalo Paul and Peace Café for being who you are in Mo’ili’ili. Namaste.

Proper 4 star from this guy right here. Service was great. Had the Seoul. That paste is delicious, but if you like spicy definitely ask for the extra condiments. So far so good. I’ll be returning. Good stuff guys!

4 stars because I see potential in them. I did not care much for the entrée I had — ocean bowl. But the server told me it would have lots of seaweed, so I cannot complain. But even for someone who likes seaweed, it was bit much. I also had a pumpkin soup which was pretty good (FYI lots of spices in it). I really liked their lemonade tho (it is be a berry color lemonade). Anyways, I would love to try other items like poke bowl. Will go back for sure.

Last week the gf asks me if I wanted to go to a place called — Peace Café… normally this type of place would not be on my dining radar because it’s basically a vegan restaurant, but since the gf asked… you know the correct answer to that would be — «why yes honey… sure thing!»
Well lucky for me, my visit to Peace Café was a fun event, because besides the gf — Jules Y., we were joined by a group of Yeeps — da FAMOUS Auntie — Nadine C., Rachel I., Terry H & Darcie I., Alan D. & Kuuipo D.
Peace Café is located in the Moiliili neighborhood, and it’s just next door from the Kim Chee III restaurant. If you don’t know where that is… just look across the street from the Ross Dress for Less in Moiliili,
Upon walking into this restaurant, I noticed it was a bit small, but the décor of the restaurant is pretty cozy.
The menu is pretty extensive considering it’s totally vegan.
Upon scanning the menu, I decided on a Tempting Tempeh Sandwich.
The Tempting Tempeh sandwich is basically a teriyaki tempeh, and I requested some greens to go with my sandwich.
On a side note, I saw someone eating cornbread, and I gotta tell you the smell was intoxicating! It was so intoxicating that I ended up ordering two corn breads to try for my gf & I.
As for my gf, I think she had some kind of Teriyaki tempeh on a bed of salad.
What can I say about my sandwich?
Considering that it had no meat in it, it wasn’t bad at all, but if I had a choice between a Fried Chicken sandwich, or hamburger… I think you know which way I would choose. The corn bread was delicious… I just wished I had some butter for it! Lol!
I would say all in all, it’s always good to try new things… and I commend this local business for providing alternative choices in food. If you wanna try something healthy? You may consider giving this place a go!

This is one of few vegan options in Honolulu. It has definitely become one of my favorites! I usually top here once a week for lunch when I am in town and now I have a great breakfast option. Food I flavorful and the staff friendly.

I have to confess that this is my first attempt at Vegan cuisine. Now, I don’t want to make Vegan sound like an exotic food adventure, or fad, because it’s a lifestyle for some and I totally respect that! My dream is to one day be a Vegan, but I am taking baby steps by tackling the products I buy/​use and eventually the food I consume. Veganism is not only advocating animal rights but it is also all around healthy for you! BUT I am not writing this review to convert or convince anyone to Veganism, after all Peace Café is a healthy food choice for anyone!
Thanks to Kuuipo’s great suggestion, I was able join fellow Unilocalers & friends to check out Peace Café on a Thursday evening. This place is tiny!!! Our party of 11 took up most of the restaurant space which made me feel greedy. Take out might be a better option for large group orders.
Peace Café’s rustic décor and dim lighting indeed provides a peaceful environment. They’re pretty much self-​service; providing free, fruit infused water in reusable cups as well as metal forks that they reuse! Very eco-​friendly.
The Grub:
I order the Avo-​Veg Sandwich for about $ 10, which seemed pricey for a «sandwich», but it was HUGE and very delicious! The Avo-​Veg contains alfalfa, tomatoes, avocado, house dressing and cucumber. The fresh ingredients combined very well to one another and left my tummy happy. I ate half of the HUGE sandwich at Peace Café and the other half I took home for leftovers!
This is a pleasant first-​time experience at a vegan restaurant and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I look forward to venturing to new Vegan joints as well as returning here to try more menu items!

Met up with some Frenzies to check out this place. I’d come again, but not a frequent basis. Parking is fairly limited and you need to trust your GPS. The sign is not easily readable. It’s sandwiched between Kim Chi and a smoke shop.
When I got in it was sparsely appointed but roomy. We sat down and looked at the menu. We needed to get our own water. We ordered from the counter and the food came up pretty quickly. Unless your kids grow up vegans or vegetarians maybe not such a great place to take them. I could get used to cooking tempeh and TVP, but I’m not sure if I could make a lifestyle.
I ordered the Heart and Seoul with half tofu and TVP. I liked everything except for the scoop of sauce. I thought it was too salty. The carrots, bean sprouts, and tofu were wonderful.
Darcie ordered the Soy Soba. It was very healthy, but in that very tasteless.
Maddy ordered the bbq tempeh. The sauce was a tomato base. She ate one and didn’t want the rest. The cole slaw tasted funky. It was too sour.
We might come back some other time or try one of the other vegan places out there.

If you’re looking for a cozy plant-​based place to grab a bite, Peace Café is definitely worth checking out. This little hole in the wall is nestled between two other restaurants in Mo’ili’ili on S. King St. and is also located near a couple of parks, if you feel like dining alfresco. They’ve got a few parking stalls behind the restaurant as well as metered street parking out front.
Walking into Peace Café feels like coming home, since the back-​of-​the-​house staff always greets customers with a cheery hello. Just a heads up, though: while most of the staff members are chill, I’ve been a few times and one of the guys who works the register is kind of a grump. It’s not a huge deal, but is worth mentioning.
The space itself is warm and inviting, with a bookshelf in the back corner (such a home-​y touch!) and cool wood-​block art adorning the walls. There’s a large table in the middle of the dining space that seats at least 8 people, which is surrounded by a handful of small 2-​person tables. Bar-​top dining also lines the front window in case you like watching the world go by while noshing on nutritious dishes.
My dining companion and I decided on warm drinks to get started. He got a perfectly spiced chai latte ($ 4.85), while I opted for the full-​flavored matcha latte ($ 3.95). Their lattes are made with soy milk, but other options like coconut and almond milk are also available. The drinks were tasty, albeit a tad too hot to enjoy right away. It worked out perfectly, however, since our sandwiches came out pretty quickly.
Although I’m almost always down to expand my horizons and try new things, Peace Café’s *ginormous* Popeye Sandwich ($ 9.45) is to die for, and I hardly ever stray from my usual order. The soft, flour-​dusted bread is made in-​house and was still warm when my sandwich arrived. Stuffed with warm spinach, juicy tomato, crisp cucumber, fresh alfalfa sprouts, and tempting tofu (sometimes in little slices, this time in small cubes), the Popeye is probably packed with loads of vitamins and minerals. Not only is it nourishing, but the miso-​tahini sauce and spread is savory and lends a satisfying umami flavor to the dish. The only downside is that as of late the sandwich has been a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise, I’m smitten.

OMG, who knew vegan food could taste so dang good. I had the soy soba salad, Delicious with a capital D lol
Not only was it delicious, it was filling as well. The sauce was so so so good.
Bonus stars for them having their own ice cream and dessert. I will be for sure coming back to sample other items along with that ice cream… vegan of course!!!
If your looking for a healthier meal to add to your diet to balance out all the other stuff, come here and grind, you won’t be disappointed.

There is nothing better than knowing you can walk into a restaurant and order anything on the menu without having to alter it or say, «no cheese» or ask, «Is there cream in that dressing?» (Okay maybe a few things are better like a perfect milk-​to-​cereal ratio or a basket of puppies or world peace, but an awesome vegan restaurant is also high up on the list.)
This place was like a gift from the heavens on my recent trip to Hawaii. We went there two out of our three nights for dinner and if I had my choice I would’ve gone there all three nights. The menu is diverse, satisfying, hearty, and delicious.
The staff is knowledgeable and patient and happy to explain their menu to newbies.
The location is just outside Waikiki but we were able to walk there from our hotel, which made for a nice walk after dinner as we digested our meal.
The restaurant is a bit of a hole-​in-​the-​wall with not a lot of flashy signage out front but if you’re looking you won’t miss it and inside it is all charm all the time. There’s a counter in the window where you can sit and look out, there’s one large communal table where you can sit with other patrons and make new friends (or ogle their meals and wish you’d ordered that too) and there are a few individual tables where you can sit solo with your date.
You order at the counter and then they bring your food to you. Easy, no frills, but good service with a smile.
The food? Delicious. Everything tasted super-​fresh and was clearly made with love. One of my favorite things is a vegan Caesar salad and they can be hit or miss for sure, but this was a hit. It comes with large pieces of yummy bread but you can also add a protein if you want. My second night I added their BBQ tempeh to it and that sealed the deal. A perfect meal. We also got the BBQ tempeh plate the first night which comes with corn bread, cole slaw, and the most delicious nutty-​chewy rice I’ve ever had.
Everything I saw pass by heading to other tables also looked delicious and made me wish I could come back and try that too.
They also have a can’t-miss homemade ice cream there which they make in house and have several flavors at a time.
Why do we not have this place in L.A.
As far as parking goes, if you’re a local, there is a shared parking lot behind the restaurant and street parking out front but it seemed to be a busy street so I’d aim for the back if you can find parking there.
This was my favorite find on this trip and if/​when I come back, I will for sure be visiting them again. At least once. Or every day if I’m in charge.

Popped in to Peace Café yesterday, a Thursday afternoon.
Staff was very friendly and helpful with recommendations, and food was incredibly fresh and delicious. I ordered the Yogini entrée — delicious rice, black eyed peas, seaweed, spinach and tahini dressing — along with locally sourced iced green tea. Great quality food, flavorful and so refreshing.
The table across the room ordered a sandwich, and it looked large and delicious. I already have recommended this place to friends.

The only reason why I first tried this place is because my husband’s cousin started working here! I wasn’t sure how much I would like it but after following her suggestions, this has become one of my favorite places to grab a healthy meal.
I usually order the Hanoi on rice– if you’ve never tried their rice, you must! It’s a mixture of black & brown rice and it’s absolutely delicious! The Hanoi is fried tofu with peanut sauce drizzled on top– yum! And it comes with some veggies on the side! Ahhhh, just describing it for this review is making me want to eat it!
I’ve also tried the heart & soul, which is like a vegetarian bi bim bap. It was also very good but my fave is definitely the Hanoi over rice!
The kinako latte is also very delicious!

I loved Peace Café before I became vegan so don’t let the vegan thing steer you meat eaters away! I found this place on Unilocal a few years ago when my mom wanted to try a vegetarian restaurant.
A couple years ago, a few months before I moved to New York, my friend was going through a breakup and she’s a really healthy person so I brought her here one night to chat. After that, we literally came here at least 3x/​week.
Over time I’ve tried most of the menu and everything is delicious! My favorites though are the avocado sandwich, the miso soup, and their ice cream. I may order other things but I don’t walk out the door without grabbing the staples to have later.
So, moral of the story: eat here. Whether or not you’re vegan, come and enjoy a delicious meal and 100% get the ice cream.

My favorite vegan place on the island!
FOOD:
The food here, which is all vegan, is sooo tasty! You won’t miss the meat!
Peace Café offers a wide variety of sandwiches and bowls. I have yet to have a bad one.
My personal favorite is the Italiano, which has grilled veggies and an olive tapenade spread.
The veggies are always fresh, the food is full of flavor, and the bread on the sandwiches is amazing!
Coffees and vegan ice cream are also not to be missed.
SERVICE/​SPACE:
The service here is usually really nice, albeit a bit hippy/​stony. Everyone is sweet who works there and the food comes out really quickly.
The space is really cool too. It’s a small café, but there is a giant table that takes up most of the room where everyone can sit together, and maybe even meet someone new.
PRICE:
Really fair. You can get lunch and a coffee for under $ 15.

I am literally BLOWN AWAY right now. The food here is amazing. The drinks are amazing. No wonder it was packed in the restaurant!
I had the Popeye sandwich and Maunakea iced tea. Wow. The iced tea is amazing. Idk how to describe it. It’s just perfect. And the Popeye sandwich is HUGE and filled with sprouts, tofu, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, spinach, and soft bread. Is it focaccia? Not sure lol. The tofu is seasoned with some kind of magic (tastes like miso?!) It’s just heavenly. Great experience. Workers are friendly. I’ll be back for sure! I want to try everything on the menu!

Before I forget: there is parking in the back! I always forget and park on the street!
Now, let’s get down to the review! The Peace Café has me addicted to vegan/​vegetarian food. I’m not even kidding. I am a meat lover, but this place has me sometimes questioning if I should go green.
The first time I went, I took my adventurous daughter. We walked in, and the first thing I thought was, «This place is so hippy-​cool.» There is a huge tree that presents the menu on the wall. The dude behind the counter has dread locks and a HUGE smile on his face. I see ice cream listed on the board, and I have realized that this may be a little bit of nirvana for me!
The cashier saw that my daughter and I were having a hard time trying to figure out what everything on the menu was. He came over with a detailed menu that listed what each entrée/​salad/​sandwich consisted of. That was a big help for us! (These menus are by the cash register.)
My daughter had the Bi Bim Bap with tofu. I got the Peace Plate. We were able to use a credit card with an emailed receipt. (Thank you for that!) We grabbed a 2 seater table and waited for our food to be delivered. Make sure you grab your napkins and utensils (to the left of the register). You can also grab some water from the dispenser if you didn’t purchase one of their drinks. (I’ll review one of those later.)
The seating has a bar by the window (4 seats, I think), a bunch of 2 seat tables, and one large table (about 6 – 7 people) in the middle of the place. The place is small, but you still have enough room to move around comfortably.
Our food arrived and it looked so colorful! The greens were vibrant! The carrots were bright! The presentation really was beautiful! As for the taste, my daughter wouldn’t let me near her food, so I can only review my Peace Plate. Let me tell you what was in my plate. There were greens, hummus, cucumbers, carrots, bean sprouts, and this awesome house dressing that literally made my mouth cry in happiness. I’m not even sure how else to describe it, other than it was FANTASTIC!!! I was thinking of this plate for WEEKS after going here. The craving was so strong, I found myself back for more!
This time, I found myself intrigued with the kinako latte. As I ate my Peace Plate, I kept looking at the drink menu and finally decided to get one to go. As I explained my fascination with the drink, the cashier suggested that I try the black sesame kinako latte. I’m brave so I thought sure! When it came out, it looked so interesting. It was kind of gray with black sesame seeds floating around. The person who brought it out told me to make sure to stir it before drinking because the seeds will settle at the bottom. Ok! Stir, then drink. WOW! It was like nutty with the seeds and it was nothing like I tasted before. It was GOOD! I think I may have to try it again so I can give you a great description. Definitely need to go back for research!
So, all-​in-​all, great place to go when you want to get your veg on!!!

Good food, Good service, All Vegan… That is 5 Stars in my book.
Location: South King Street next to Chiang Mai Thai. Small lot in the back or metered street parking in the area. You may have to drive around the block once to locate a spot at busy times.
Venue: Hole in the wall ambience with a «rustic» feel. Sort of crowded when full of people. We came at peak lunch hour and sat at counter seats along the window. Order and pay at the counter and items are brought to your table by the staff.
Food: No meat, no eggs and no dairy. Large menu of sandwiches, plate lunches, desserts and side dishes. Huge portions in meals and sandwiches. Wide variety of items using minimally processed ingredients. Tempeh and TVP (textured vegetable protein) are used in some dishes. Desserts use no sugar.
My choice was Taco Rice. A take on the Okinawan Taco Rice dish. Taco flavored TVP mixed brown rice, Lettuce and a ranch like sauce. This was huge, filling and good! I’ve had real taco rice and this was a satisfying dish even if there was no meat or cheese. I loved it. My daughter got a Cilantro Hummus Sandwich which was also huge. She could only eat half of it. The photo does not really show how big it is. Whole wheat ciabatta bread with sprouts, fresh veggies, avocado and great hummus. I ate the saved portion later and it was a great sandwich.
Service: Friendly and helpful cashier. Friendly food server who got us everything we needed. No waiter/​waitress service as noted above.
Nutrition: I just happened to sit next to several other customers who were nutrition conscious. They too learned nutrition from Terry Shintani MD. Overall the food here is nutritious, as compared to just being vegan. This is extremely important to me and good nutrition is rarely found in restaurant food. Another 5 star factor in my book.
Suggestion: since the dishes are so generous you can split one or just plan on taking half home. You may have a little room left to try a dessert or some ice cream. That’s what I’m doing next time. I can’t wait to go back and try more of the menu.

Heart & Seoul: A-​OK.
Moroccan Stew: NOT GOOD.
Let’s start with the Heart & Seoul dish. I’m Korean, born & raised in Korea for 18 years, I’ve had all kinds of bibimbap (mixed rice) all over Korea, all over Atlanta, LA, DC, etc. I’ve had it vegan-​style (no meat, no eggs), non-​vegan style (egg only or meat & egg); no matter how you have it, you can never go wrong with bibimbap. So Peace Café’s Heart & Seoul (bibimbap) wasn’t bad. Unfortunately, it wasn’t anything spectacular. The veggies were fresh, tofu was soft, a little bland, plenty of rice– It was ok. I hate saying this, but I’ve had better.
Next, Moroccan Stew. It’s not really a stew– it’s just rice with a side of chickpeas. It wasn’t as bland as the Heart & Seoul, but it just wasn’t good. I didn’t understand what kind of flavor they were trying to go with. I wouldn’t recommend this dish.
It’s a small restaurant with only few tables/​benches; very casual. Walk up and order your dish & find a seat. The service was good, staff are very friendly. I would probably return for their coffee– good & strong coffee. But as for the food, I’ll just continue to hunt for my favorite vegan joint on the island.

I believe this is one of the BEST vegan food places I have been to!
Quick service, clean environment, friendly service, tasty drinks the list comes together to make this a great hangout for vegetarians.
Just by sitting and eating my order, I see people come in groups.
I like the furniture. The center table made of wood. This gives the place a more ‘zen’ feel.
I ordered the Poke salad. It tastes amazing! For the drinks, I ordered the Maunakea ice tea. It tastes refreshing and fresh.
Some places market themselves as vegan but they lack the freshness this place observes. It almost feels kosher. Not a bad thing but good when you follow a pattern of perfection.
Tucked away in Moiliili, this is a gem waiting to be found. Maybe NYC can take some pointers to open such as a place as this.
