Vegan sushi!

All vegan, nice vibe, and reasonably priced! Tried the gyoza, plus a few rolls. My favorite was the Wedge roll.

Unique and Delicious

We were able to get an early reservation on Yelp and the food was worth the wait. It was a quick $15-ish Uber ride from our Waikiki hotel. Quick service and authentic vegan sushi!

My favorite restaurant

If you live in Honolulu you know that finding good vegetarian or vegan places to eat out is so hard! While Tane is a little bit on the fancy/pricey side, it’s worth every penny!

They have a good variety of completely vegan Japanese food, with the main attraction being vegan sushi (how cool is that)! They also have amazing vegan ramen, tempura, katsu, and more. Their garlic edamame is soooo fire!

Excellent Sushi

With a Japanese completely Vegan menu you can’t go wrong! Tane is a favourite of mine and my friends, and a winner with my non-vegan friends as well! If you’re a vegan on Oahu it’s an absolute must try!

Pros: Menu, Atmosphere, Service

A Remarkable Vegan Treasure

Love, love, love this vegan gem in Honolulu. I never go to Oahu without eating there. Phenomenal flavors in every dish, plus very knowledgeable and friendly servers, keep me coming back for more.

Wow, fantastic vegan food

Love this place. Had two shared plates, Brussel sprouts and Tempura, both wonderful. Brussel sprouts were in a spicy sauce (not too spicy) and Tempura was very good. Had two appetizers, the spring rolls which were amazing (orange sauce was out of this world) and Gyoza (pot stickers). Also had grilled mushrooms shared plate, and oh goodness the BBQ flavoring was amazing. Had iced tea and lemonade, both great. Vegan cheesecake wonderful

Amazing restaurant

Our family with 5 members from age 7 to 80 all enjoyed Tane Vegan’s food A Lot! They provide wonderful dining environment, clean and good space. Food is creatively prepared with many surprises including couple kinds of edible flowers. They also provide a special menu for customers who are allergic to garlic and onion. We specifically love Mango nigiri, Ewa and Leahi.

Pros: All vegan dishes!, Creativity , Friendly service

450 dollar sushi order

So I was in oahu for my wedding in a house I rented with 18 non vegans. I wanted to try everything on the menu and feed my friends. It was epic and so worth the money best vegan sushi ever. It was great to get fancy rolls, rather than plain Jane ones. I did do take out so I can't really say much about the so restaurant but it looked super fancy and I will definitely go next time I'm here. I wish I took a picture of the whole order at the beginning but I forgot because I was excited to eat.

Pros: Fancy rolls , Quick

Sushi heaven

Lots of great sushi options! They also have ramen and very interesting Share Plates (the tane katsu was insane!).

For 4 people, we pigged out and the bill was reasonable.

I suggest speaking with the server to ensure that you're ordering Specialty Rolls with complimentary flavor profiles. You don't want to order rolls that are too similar to each other.

phenomenal flavors

I’d been to the sister restaurant in SF and was stoked to try Tane Vegan when I visited Oahu. Everything we tried was delicious! Loved the rolls, very cool vibe, just bummed there weren’t desserts the night we went. Will definitely come back next time we’re on Oahu.

Pros: Delicious flavors, Interesting menu, Cool vibe

Cons: Minimal dessert options , Expensive

Crushingly good.

We had a fantastic dinner here. As a large group, we sampled quite a bit of the menu, from the appetizers and the small plates to ramen and signature rolls. Everything was expertly crafted, service was quick and helpful. I’d go back any time. Nice selection of sake to boot.

Super Sampler

We didn't make a reservation, but were able to sit at the bar. We ordered a few items, ate, and then ordered a few more. All of them were served quickly. The miso soup had a flavorful broth. The Gyoza (pan-fried vegetable and tofu dumplings) were tasty. Our server recommended The Wedge-a tempura roll with spicy tofu, mushroom, green onion, ichimi, sesame, spicy aioli, and sweet soy. I was worried it would be spicy, but it wasn't. The enoki nigiri had a strong flavor and slimy consistency I did not like, but I did enjoy the gobo nigiri. The Shizen Shiitake was deep-fried with a slightly sweet sauce. The Tane Katsu (marinated garlic shoyu patty, panko, mix greens, and carrots) was served with a similar sauce. The Futo Maki (age tofu, spinach, shiitake, kanpyo, inari, and pickled radish) was so large, it was difficult to eat. Overall, I enjoyed 7/8 of the dishes.

Tip: Make a reservation online to avoid waiting.

Pros: all vegan, quick service

Cons: can be busy, difficult to find parking

Yummmmm, walkable from Waikiki

Book ahead, this place is rightfully popular! We had a delicious meal, and tried the bao buns (great), gyoza (eh), grilled mushrooms (outstanding), ramen (fine), and some specialty sushi rolls that were decadent and satisfying. We could see why most people around us were focusing on the sushi and not ordering ramen; it's really the area where they shine, along with the mushroom dish, which I could eat every day. Lovely ambience.

Pros: Ultimate sushi, Innovative flavors, Wide selection

So good we ordered the same meal takeout the next night

Best vegan meal we’ve had in our 3 years eating vegan. So bummed we have to go back to ho hum meals. The Wedge and Half Moon out of this world. Loved the bao. Someone we met at our hotel mentioned they ate here and it was awesome and now I’m telling you.

Pros: Taste, texture and presentation superb, Extensive menu, Price is fair for extraordinary food

Cons: My husband can’t manage chop sticks, Had no idea what to order…so many choices, Not in Boston

Reliable vegan food

This is a good option for when you want a fancier vegan meal. I've been eating here for years. The food is consistently elegantly presented and the atmosphere feels high end. The service is usually good. The sushi and ramen are always tasty. Unfortunately the dessert is usually uninspired but it as japanese restaurant so no surprise there. I often eat here with a gluten free friend. She has never gotten sick in all the times we've come here. That's rare because she's pretty sensitive to cross contamination. So they run a tight kitchen.

Exceptionally creative food and friendly service!

A boisterous, lively spot with deep menu of approachable to creative izakaya dishes. Don't miss the brussels sprouts or nigiri. Highly recommend making time for table reservations if you are with a group.

Pros: extensive menu, good value, creative options

Cons: a bit noisy, but this can be a pro for some!, 90 minute max stay, books up quickly

Perfect Place to Pig Out on Sushi

We went here for my birthday. There were five of us, and we ordered just about half the menu between us. It was so much fun! I cannot remember what all the dishes are called that we got. A few of the rolls and the agedashi tofu were disappointing, but over all the food was phenomenal. We had meat eaters in our party, and by far the biggest hit with them was the bao. One even said it was the best bao he's ever had! Out of everything we tried, two of us (including me) loved the Avocado Nigiri the best. It's so simple, but the flavors are just perfectly balanced into the perfect bite. The other memorable dish was the roll with the beet slices on it. I can't remember what it's called, but it was so unusual. You truly have to eat the whole giant piece at once to experience all the complex flavors working together. Overall yes, go here, you wont regret it if you love good sushi. :)

Pros: All vegan, Lots of options, Veggie sushi lovers rejoice!

Cons: They are a little militant about reservations
