    This is a great vegan sushi place in a fairly humble setting. The restaurant sits on the street right next to a couple of fairly run down places. However, all that changes as soon as you enter the restaurant. The interior is elegant, muted and welcoming. The hostess quickly seated us and we got the most wonderful waitress (big shout out to Eva). We did not recognize most of the dishes but with the help of Eva we picked a few and they were all delicious! They were presented aesthetically (see the pics) and sumptuous! The prices are a bit on the higher side but worth every penny! Highly recommended!

    Best vegan food I've ever had in my life. Meanest server, too. The food was worth the server's attitude. I don't think one worker represents an entire establishment, especially one as yummy as this place. My friend's who are vegan bloggers from Australia and Bali brought me here. They had been there that week with a big party and the service was better, they had planned on going back again before they left, but decided against future visits. I suggested take out or delivery service next time. Hats off to the chef, I've truly never had such amazing and tasty Japanese food... not just for vegan food, but ever!

    Tried Sushi for the first time , although I don't have a reference for comparison I can say it was pretty delicious. It's a cozy place.Make sure to reserve your tables if you don't want to wait. Waiters were very friendly and suggested some good items for us to try.

    I drove past this place many times but wasn't sure about vegan Japanese food. Decided to try out anyway and am so please that I did. Loved everything we ordered. Staff members were friendly and big parking lot was a bonus. Of course not traditional Japanese food but modern and vegan. Look beautiful and taste great.Since traditional/classic Japanese food is not unusual for me, we ordered something I can't cook myself or find anywhere else. All good choices. I must go back and try different items.

    I do love this place. The wedge is my absolute favorite, but it is pricey to go here. Wish they were open during lunch time. I take everyone who comes to visit. The regular rolls are nothing to be desired. I got the smoked tofu one and it’s quite awful. I think I’m comparing it to blue sushi on the mainland, which had a beautiful extensive vegan menu with some really amazing flavors and pairings. Maybe they should branch out and come up with more options. I do like that a huge portion of the menu is gluten free which is hard to find on island. Pictures are from the last year.

    Absolutely LOVED this place. I don’t often find myself eating vegan sushi but this was delicious. Everything we ordered was unique and flavorful. Especially loved the eggplant nigiri and the specialty rolls.

    YUM!!! This vegan Japanese sushi restaurant was perfect. Lovely natural setting and atmosphere and an incredible menu. I loved everything (and I ordered a lot!). I recommend this place highly. Absolutely loved the tempura and bean curd nigiri but truly the waialua roll was beyond superb!

    Wow, who knew that vegan sushi was a thing??? The food was crazy good! The chef knows his stuff. We loved every roll that we tried. We are planning to go one more time before we fly home. Such a cool ambiance inside as well as amazing staff.

    OMG! Freaking amazing 🤩 It was our friends 30th birthday and we wanted to treat him. We started with a cold sake and the edamame. Sooo good. Then moved to the main course. We got all the house favorites and were not disappointed! Plant based sushi can be done and they did it perfectly! Wish I could come back to Hawaii just for this vegan sushi. I recommend the sunset roll as the show stopper since it’s on 🔥 Thank you!!!

    Great food, Good sake selection. A bit too mushroom heavy for me, but my wife liked it. Ended up spending 100$ for drinks and food for two, but we are heavy. Would add another star if they had fresh wasabi.

    Really one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time! The food is amazing and the so is the concept, we need more restaurants like this. Will absolutely come back every time we’re in Honolulu.

  • 5/5 Amalina A. 4 months ago on Google
    One of the best vegan hotspot in town if you're trying to impress your date, celebrate an occasion or curious to try fancy vegan izakaya. Fantastic for both vegans and curious carnivores. For a group of four people, we ordered grilled mushrooms, tane katsu, gyoza and three rolls: the wedge, Kailua and Point Reyes. The wedge was by far my favorite specialty role. The servers were excellent and friendly, and because we were a relatively larger group and made reservation in advance we got to have private seating which is more quiet than the rest of the restaurant. If you're the kind that needs more to feel full I recommend that you order their ramen. You MUST order the "cheesecake" to end the night. You won't regret it.

    Wow! Absolutely amazing vegan sushi! We will be back for sure. I want to try everything on this menu. The food was incredible. Drinks were delicious. And service was excellent. I think you have to make reservations in advance so keep that in mind!

    This was some of the best vegan sushi I’ve had! I personally love beets and usually when beets are incorporated in sushi, it’s just cut up beets inside the roll. However, this place is so innovative and creative. I forget the rolls name but it had beets on top and it was so flavourful and delicious. I highly recommend coming here if you’re vegan and looking for good food. Inside it’s a nice vibe too, trendy and clean. The staff were super friendly, explaining everything and helping us figure out what we would like. Thank you the hostess as well for being so kind and welcoming - she also got us a seat at the bar to eat since we hadn’t made reservations.

    Best sushi ever eat! All was very tasty! Restaurant looks a bit fancy inside but it’s very nice especially considering all the others Hawaiian aestethic restaurants around the city. Servers are super friendly and prices are good for the food quality and research, to me. After trying sushi here I will have difficulty to be satisfied in every other vegan sushi place :(

  • 5/5 Dylan B. 6 months ago on Google
    Tane was a wonderful little find on our vacation to Honolulu, we were able to continue a vegan lifestyle without having to sacrifice a fine dining experience. I can't recommend this place enough, both for plant based and omni diets

  • 5/5 Vanessa S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wonderful vegan restaurant!! I was so excited to go and they didn’t let me down. Everything we ordered was amazing. Very unique sushi variations. Highly recommend it

  • 2/5 Greg Gy L. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent service and atmosphere. Unfortunately food taste is not at my expectations. Shizen shiitake is way too salty. Sauce has no layer and aroma but salty. Pacifica roll, rice is sticky and getting mushy. Spicy Miso Ramen, no miso taste and aroma. Tasted like diluted Korean Shin ramyun. Food presentation is good anyways.

  • 5/5 Judith B. 6 months ago on Google
    Don't have enough superlatives. WOW. Food was amazing and beautifully and creatively presented. Our first visit. I want to return repeatedly to try Everything on the menu. The lilikoi cheesecake dessert was incredible. Staff friendly and helpful. Food came out quickly. They kept the table clean of empty dishes. Ample space between tables so we felt comfortable. Small parking available but we went when they opened and parking was no problem. The inari had shiitake mushrooms. We tried the Ewa, Leahi, Da Baos and Shizen Mushrooms. Culinary delight all around. We took home sime food, but it did cost over $100 for 2 of us with drinks and tip, so not an everyday place, but definitely going back.

  • 5/5 Nathan M. 6 months ago on Google
    Blown away by every single dish, I wish I could have tried everything on the menu. Save your appetite so you can try more items, you won't regret it. Everything was incredible. The Nigiri was my favorite. The lily koi cheesecake was mind blowing. The staff all did such a great job, very warm and welcoming.

  • 5/5 Ann S. 2 years ago on Google
    The most creative sushi I have ever had. Every flavor had amazing texture, great flavor, and gorgeous presentation! Tofu katsu is delicious. Strongly recommend making a reservation as walk-ins are only accepted if a reservation is late. Parking can be competitive, we went at 4:30pm and got the last spot in the lot, be prepared to park on a nearby street and walk. Friendly and fast service!

    Be better than me and plan ahead, make a reservation. Luckily they were able to squeeze us in and get us a table, and I am so happy they could accommodate us. Our serve was so friendly and helpful also the space was so clean. Everything was so delicious. My favorites were the gyoza and the half moon roll. Such great flavors to everything. I highly recommend trying this out. Even my meat eating boyfriend enjoyed everything-his favorite was the bean curd nigiri. 10/10 Thank you x

  • 5/5 Darren B. 11 months ago on Google
    Best meal that my wife and I ever enjoyed together…. on the last night of our honeymoon no less. We got seated at the bar where Tina and Cat treated us like special guests/old friends. Anna was a fabulous server with lots of input and recommendations. Food was amazing - all three specialty rolls we ordered were uniquely delicious - we didn’t know that you could do this with sushi! Note to other plant-based restaurateurs: eat here and take notes. Wish there was a place like this in our home-town of Boston.

    Vegan sushi. It’s so good, even your non-vegan friends will arm wrestle you for the last piece..

  • 5/5 Vincent P. 1 year ago on Google
    This menu includes dynamic flavors and textures that I often miss on the vegan section of sushi menus. I enjoyed each dish I ordered. The staff members are incredibly friendly too which made the experience. Will definitely come back.

    The food here is wonderful! A great selection, nice vibes and over all tasty treats! The sushi was so fresh and tasty and there was quite the variety!

  • 3/5 Aaron E. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was really good. Service was ok at best. Will return We were greeted kindly and seated promptly. Refreshments and appetizers came in good time. Ramen came fast, the rest of the food was not so fast. Waited around 10-15 min for out last party member to receive there order. Server (Jian) did know who the manager was nor did he find out who it was at the time. Jian provided non specific answers to my questions, I still never got to speak with management. Our bill was presented with an error, which Jian self corrected without explaining the error until asked by me. Bill was corrected and explained. We will return, hopefully the service will be better next time.

  • 5/5 Oswaldo A. 2 years ago on Google
    We were lucky to be able to find a spot in this busy vegan restaurant. We happened to walk in and someone had just called to cancel a reservation. The selection of sushi is great. I highly recommend the wedge. The ramen was good but not the best vegan ramen I have tried. Pros: A wide selection of vegan sushi, All vegan manu, Friendly staff Cons: Not really a "con", try to make reservations

  • 5/5 Joshua Y. 2 years ago on Google
    There is a parking lot adjacent to the restaurant and also available street parking nearby. Make sure to grab a reservation here ahead of time. This place is pretty good. I think it's related to the other vegan izakaya place in SF too (some menu items are repeats). The beat salad, and chips and dip are nice apps. The sushi rolls are actually really good and flavorful. I recommend ones like the manila dune, and the pacifica. Things with tempura add a much appreciated crunch! Enjoy!
