Raised By The Waves - KAHUKU

I had high expectations for Raised by Waves, but unfortunately, it did not quite meet them. The restaurant offers decent parking and has an open outside venue with plenty of seating. The menu specifies vegan items and non-vegan items can easily be adjusted. The service is good and the prices are reasonable. The Luna smoothie without honey was lacking sweetness, perhaps agave could be a better alternative. The Pounders panini was very tasty and comparable to the offerings at Sunrise Shack. The Island rolls were earthy and healthy, served with a nice dip. Overall, the food was decent, but it did not exceed my expectations. I would be willing to give it another try in the future to see if it improves. For now, I would say it is a fair option.

Good food, but just didn’t have that wow factor that would give it 5 stars for me. The nachos were tasty, even with the weird grainy “cheese” they use. The BLT sandwich was solid, but the ingredient ratios were off. There was too much bread and greens and not enough tomato or “bacon”. Overall very decent food and definitely worth a try!

EXQUISITE tasting vegan food recommended by locals. I eat açaí bowls, smoothie bowls, avocado toast etc on the regular and these guys did it the absolute best.

This restaurant is definitely a must-visit if you find yourself on the North Shore. It is a beautiful place to relax and enjoy a meal, with plenty of seating available. The food is absolutely amazing! I highly recommend trying the waffle, pounders panini, and frappe (a new menu option). When I inquired about vegan options on June 16, 2024, I was told that everything was vegan. However, it is important to note that some items contain honey, so be sure to specify your dietary preferences. Overall, a great dining experience that I would definitely recommend.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious and healthy meals, with a diverse menu that has something for everyone.
