Japanese Grandma's offers a variety of delicious vegan options, such as a vegan sushi burrito, bento bowl with tofu, and avocado poke bowl. The bento bowl is a popular choice, especially when topped with avocado and tempura. The menu is clearly labeled for easy ordering, and there are options to customize your meal with extras like avocado and brown rice. While the service is noted to be slow at times, the quality of the food makes it worth the wait. Guests have praised the restaurant for providing tasty sushi that stands out from others on the island, with some mentioning that it was a safe choice after experiencing food-related issues elsewhere. Though service may have been lacking during busy periods, the overall dining experience is enjoyable and recommended for those looking for a satisfying vegan meal in Kauai, on average, Japanese Grandma has been rated as 4.
