Walked over here from Waikiki based on a recommendation. We wanted fresh, organic, vegan ingredients and that is exactly what we found at Peace Cafe! We ordered the Soup of the Day, which was a flavorful Tahini Hot & Sour soup. First time having a tahini-based hot & sour soup. Goal is to recreate it at home. Peace Sampler (Hijiki, Tofu scramble, Yuzu carrot, Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Mung beans, Poke & nori flaks, Avocado, Mixed greens, Clover sprouts, TVP, Sesame kale, House dressing, and Brown and black rice) and the Cilantro Hummus sandwich with the house made aioli on the side. The aioli was delicious. I always ask for it on the side bc I am not usually a fan, but always willing to try a taste. This was a thicker version than I am used to, but that's a good thing bc this was delicious. My sandwich was on a fresh whole wheat ciabatta-style roll. Everything was so great we ordered another sandwich (Hanoi) to bring with us for our picnic dinner on the beach later tonight. When we arrived there were three women working in sync putting together to-go boxes of what must be for a catering event. Lucky people that will be getting those boxes full of delicious Peace Cafe items.

I dined-in at Peace Cafe for brunch on a Saturday. A perfect time because the place filled up by the time I was finished. I had the tofu katsu plate and finished with mint ice cream and an Americano. The ambiance is cozy and chill. You order first and seat where you can. Seating is very limited outside and inside. There is a park right nextdoor. The kitchen and cashier do the waiting, so don't expect attentive service. It's just not that sort of place. I have not found a place for any type of katsu plate stateside that didn't cost $30+. The katsu itself was not bad. It was a bit hard on the ends. The portions are a good value. I walked up from my hotel is Waikiki and will continue to do that on future visits.

I order from them at least once a week for lunch or dinner. I love that they have the platters that you can take to events so you can introduce non-vegans to delicious vegan food. Super nice family-run cafe. Very sweet Japanese folx. I get their bentos at the Kaiser HS farmer's market in Tuesdays 4-6pm. I do wish that they would stop calling me "sir" or "ma'am" over the phone though. They always get the pronouns wrong. I understand it is a sign of respect because it is like saying "-sama" in Japanese, but I would appreciate it if they kept it gender neutral :) DO NOT USE THEIR "inquire now" button on their website to place catering orders. It does not work right now. Call them for catering orders or email them at info@peacecafehawaii.com. They need: 1) Item name 2) size: half platter (10-15 servings) OR party platter (20-25) 3) date you need order 4) time you need order 5) do you need utensils? If so, how many? It's $1 per set of utensils

I recently tried Peace Cafe in Honolulu, ordering the katsu curry with tempeh and tofu, and it was a delicious experience! The flavors of the curry were spot on, and the dish was beautifully prepared. Between the tempeh and tofu, I enjoyed the texture of the tempeh a bit more--its consistency was satisfying, although just a touch too crunchy for my preference. The tofu was well-prepared too, but the combination of its spongy texture and crunchy coating wasn't quite ideal for me. Still, both options were tasty, and the dish as a whole was so enjoyable that I'd be tempted to make Peace Cafe a weekly stop if I lived on the island. Great food and a relaxed vibe--definitely a place to return to!

Back again for their tempeh katsu curry. I have recommended this dish to so many people; especially those who think they won't like a vegan restaurant. The texture and density of this katsu is incredible and totally crave-worthy. I feel like the portion may have decreased however the amount of curry is amazing and totally generous.

This was a last minute addition for me to try and good lord I am so happy I swung by. Don't get me wrong, the food culture in Honolulu is amazing but it was exceedingly hard to find much vegetarian or vegan katsu at all so I knew this place was the perfect spot to satisfy my craving. I went by around noon on a weekday and ordered a katsu curry to go -- you can choose between tofu, tempeh, or half and half! I wanted to try both so half and half it was. The food came out piping hot in about 10 minutes with the curry in a separate container to be added; aka no soggy katsu here! Visually stunning, but gosh if I only I could describe the CRUNCH of that first katsu bite. It was so hard for me to choose tempeh vs tofu because both were so good and so crunchy. And the curry was a comforting river of goodness as well. I loved every portion of this place including the salads and greens and the mixed rice which was cooked to perfection. The prices are totally reasonable for the taste, quality, and amount of food you get and I literally want to go back and try every single other item on their menu after this. I was intrigued by the cooler which had some noodles, mochi, ice cream goods so you know I may need to return to try that as well. Parking in the area is street parking but not too hard. Don't let the quaint interior fool you - do yourself a favor and have a meal here! The service was the kindest and the food really will speak for itself.

I've been coming to Peace Cafe since 2017, and it remains one of my favorite spots in Honolulu. If you're looking for organic, plant-based food that's made with care, this is the place. Every dish can be customized to suit your needs, and they even have options with no sugar or oil, which is perfect if you're health-conscious like me. The food is made fresh to order, so don't expect fast service--come here when you have time to savor a meal. They also offer catering, which is a great option for gatherings. The indoor seating is cozy, and there's also outdoor seating available. Parking is easy to find, with plenty of metered spots nearby. The owner, Shota, treats his food like a work of art. Every dish is as beautiful as it is delicious, and you can tell he takes great pride in each creation. If you visit on a Tuesday, you'll have the pleasure of meeting Ena, a wonderful person with a bubbly personality and a beautiful smile, ready to make your experience even better. If you're looking for wholesome, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared meals, Peace Cafe is definitely worth a visit.

They have lots of different vegan options here, and me and my friends tried a bunch! My personal choice was the yakisoba sandwich! Spicy and savory, while my friends got more of their plate options! Worth a visit especially for those looking for tasty vegan dishes! - Miguel Morales Photography

I saw my boss eating something from Peace Cafe at work one day and it looked super good so I had to go try! Honestly, I was very impressed. ***What I ordered ~ **Katsu Curry Tempeh (10/10) ~ This one is a MUST. Loved how crispy the tempeh was and if you dip it with the curry it gave it a nice spice! The rice they provided was this purple rice and it was nice and fluffy! Honestly, this comes pretty close to a Katsu Curry. I would totally get this again. **Moroccan Stew (8/10) ~ The stew kind of reminds me of a sweeter beef stew! Loved that the chick peas absorbs the stew flavor so every bite you get tastes like the stew. I wish I ordered a side of something with it! It's missing a "meat" component to it. But honestly really good! Overall, I would TOTALLY come back again. I really want to try their other dishes. But so far, totally in love with the tempeh Katsu Curry!

Finding peace... Love this cute and cozy spot right in Moili'ili as this vegan restaurants supports many specific types and having allergies myself knowing that is comforting and who doesn't want to have a meal without worries. Nothing is healthier than home cooked but when you're tired and just want to be take care of this place does offer many options from vegan, gluten free, soy free and even some sugar free desserts. Located right on South King Street right beside the Old Stadium Park they do have some parking shared with neighbor Chiang Mai though I was lucky enough to find street metered parking right in front. Waling into this cozy spot which is very small yet does provide a decent amount of seating from a large picnic table with a few smaller tables the decor with painted tree is very earthy green is quite crafty and cute which I do love making it unique in it's own way just like their menu items which has a lot going on with pics at the register of inure, mapo katsu. The single staff handling it all was very sweet and helpful as I was indecisive between Yakisoba and Noodle Salad and was told that those were favorite as well...hmmm so it was the salad because I love the various toppings it came with and it sure does! All packed tightly on top of the noodles which is thick and chewy cooked and cooled perfectly I loved it all the hijiki, carrots, red cabbage, moyashi, slice of tomato gave it the rainbow effect. You're able to order your sauce mild or spicy and spicy was just the right amount of heat that I love and ate it all up as my belly had found some peace. Thank you!
