The fully plant-based restaurant is at the same location where the former Kalei Eggs store occupied, on the Wai\u02bbalae strip between 11th and 12th avenues.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Owner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Chef Megumi Odin, the owner and\u00a0visionary behind Vegan Hills, hails from Tokyo, Japan, and has championed cruelty-free food ever since she established Peace Caf\u00e9 on South King Street (known to be the\u00a0first vegan restaurant to open in Honolulu).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Peace Caf\u00e9 is still open but has changed hands in ownership after Odin sold the business in 2013. Later in her career, Odin\u00a0opened the pop-up eatery, Satori Hawai\u02bbi, which is now closed but was\u00a0once located at the Soto Mission Temple in Nu\u02bbuanu.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Odin got her start in cooking while studying food in Japan. The diverse dishes\u00a0on the Vegan Hills menu are\u00a0a testament to her extensive\u00a0knowledge of multicultural cuisines. She decided to convert to veganism after seeing how wasteful the food industry was, inspiring her to take\u00a0a sustainable approach to her cooking. After teaching herself about vegan cooking, Odin implemented her cooking at home where she raised her daughter around healthy eating.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Food<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Most of the time, ordering at vegan eateries or any restaurant that serves healthy foods comes with a hefty price. Unfortunately, Vegan Hills is no exception due to its high-priced food ($6-$19) and drinks ($4-$10). However, even though Vegan Hills\u2019 target audience isn&#8217;t the\u00a0penny-pinching college student, its dishes are indeed worth trying for those who seek a higher caliber of vegan cuisine. Considering also the food sources and preparation that go into the production of food, I\u2019d say that the food and overall eating experience at Vegan Hills is <em>invaluable<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Not only restricting her kitchen to strictly plant-based foods, Odin states that &#8220;95 percent of the ingredients are organic.&#8221; Most of these foods are locally sourced from <a href=\"http:\/\/marisgardens.com\/\">Mari&#8217;s Garden Aquaponic Farm<\/a>. Vegan Hills is selective of where its food comes from\u00a0and the types of foods that are used. Having a background in spiritual enlightenment, Odin says that Vegan Hills\u00a0abstains from onions and garlic in its cooking. This limitation is due in part to her personal beliefs as a yogi, who believes that onions and garlic prevent higher levels of meditation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Though the thought process behind Vegan Hills&#8217; food may seem a bit off-kilter (even for a vegan), the flavoring behind the entrees does not disappoint and will guide spiritual novices through a journey of new food discoveries. For instance, the Nirvana Bowl ($16) is inspired by Ayurvedic-style Dahl, or in latent terms, medicinal healing soup. This bowl is accompanied by brown rice and mixed greens that are fresh and provide for some relief from the medium-spicy Dahl. Overall, the bowl was more than filling, given its huge portion, and kept my tastebuds more than entertained with a little bit of coconut flavoring, some subtle spices, as well as a sour tang from the cabbage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Even though the food is a little costly, the experience and atmosphere surrounding Vegan Hills is laid back and inviting. Its beauty lies in its simplicity: its plain white walls, wooden benches, and sparse decorations. The restaurant itself is mostly illuminated by natural light and feels very bright and open\u2013somewhat like the mindset that you have going into Vegan Hills. As far as seating arrangements go, Vegan Hills can be either a place where you can eat alone or with a group of friends in tow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Some customers could sit along the walls where the wide tables and wooden benches allow for large parties to eat comfortably, while smaller groups can eat intimately at more isolated areas like the roundtable near the front of the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Although Vegan Hills could be out of some foodies&#8217; price range, I truly believe that you &#8220;get what you pay for&#8221; at Vegan Hills: healthy and imaginative vegan food, as well as an overall friendly dining experience.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Vegan Hills is open Sunday-Saturday from 8 a.m.- 3 p.m. For more information about the restaurant or to view the menu, visit the Vegan Hills website <a href=\"http:\/\/veganhills-hi.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><style id=\"bwg-style-1\">  #bwg_container1_1 {    display: table;\t\/*visibility: hidden;*\/  }  #bwg_container1_1 * {\t  -moz-user-select: none;\t  -khtml-user-select: none;\t  -webkit-user-select: none;\t  -ms-user-select: none;\t  user-select: none;

The fully plant-based restaurant is at the same location where the former Kalei Eggs store occupied, on the Wai\u02bbalae strip between 11th and 12th avenues.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Owner<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Chef Megumi Odin, the owner and\u00a0visionary behind Vegan Hills, hails from Tokyo, Japan, and has championed cruelty-free food ever since she established Peace Caf\u00e9 on South King Street (known to be the\u00a0first vegan restaurant to open in Honolulu).<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Peace Caf\u00e9 is still open but has changed hands in ownership after Odin sold the business in 2013. Later in her career, Odin\u00a0opened the pop-up eatery, Satori Hawai\u02bbi, which is now closed but was\u00a0once located at the Soto Mission Temple in Nu\u02bbuanu.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Odin got her start in cooking while studying food in Japan. The diverse dishes\u00a0on the Vegan Hills menu are\u00a0a testament to her extensive\u00a0knowledge of multicultural cuisines. She decided to convert to veganism after seeing how wasteful the food industry was, inspiring her to take\u00a0a sustainable approach to her cooking. After teaching herself about vegan cooking, Odin implemented her cooking at home where she raised her daughter around healthy eating.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Food<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Most of the time, ordering at vegan eateries or any restaurant that serves healthy foods comes with a hefty price. Unfortunately, Vegan Hills is no exception due to its high-priced food ($6-$19) and drinks ($4-$10). However, even though Vegan Hills\u2019 target audience isn't the\u00a0penny-pinching college student, its dishes are indeed worth trying for those who seek a higher caliber of vegan cuisine. Considering also the food sources and preparation that go into the production of food, I\u2019d say that the food and overall eating experience at Vegan Hills is <em>invaluable<\/em>.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Not only restricting her kitchen to strictly plant-based foods, Odin states that \"95 percent of the ingredients are organic.\" Most of these foods are locally sourced from Mari's Garden Aquaponic Farm. Vegan Hills is selective of where its food comes from\u00a0and the types of foods that are used. Having a background in spiritual enlightenment, Odin says that Vegan Hills\u00a0abstains from onions and garlic in its cooking. This limitation is due in part to her personal beliefs as a yogi, who believes that onions and garlic prevent higher levels of meditation.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Though the thought process behind Vegan Hills' food may seem a bit off-kilter (even for a vegan), the flavoring behind the entrees does not disappoint and will guide spiritual novices through a journey of new food discoveries. For instance, the Nirvana Bowl ($16) is inspired by Ayurvedic-style Dahl, or in latent terms, medicinal healing soup. This bowl is accompanied by brown rice and mixed greens that are fresh and provide for some relief from the medium-spicy Dahl. Overall, the bowl was more than filling, given its huge portion, and kept my tastebuds more than entertained with a little bit of coconut flavoring, some subtle spices, as well as a sour tang from the cabbage.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>The Atmosphere<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Even though the food is a little costly, the experience and atmosphere surrounding Vegan Hills is laid back and inviting. Its beauty lies in its simplicity: its plain white walls, wooden benches, and sparse decorations. The restaurant itself is mostly illuminated by natural light and feels very bright and open\u2013somewhat like the mindset that you have going into Vegan Hills. As far as seating arrangements go, Vegan Hills can be either a place where you can eat alone or with a group of friends in tow.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Some customers could sit along the walls where the wide tables and wooden benches allow for large parties to eat comfortably, while smaller groups can eat intimately at more isolated areas like the roundtable near the front of the restaurant.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Although Vegan Hills could be out of some foodies' price range, I truly believe that you \"get what you pay for\" at Vegan Hills: healthy and imaginative vegan food, as well as an overall friendly dining experience.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"p2\">Vegan Hills is open Sunday-Saturday from 8 a.m.- 3 p.m. For more information about the restaurant or to view the menu, visit the Vegan Hills website <a href=\"http:\/\/veganhills-hi.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-opinions","category-reviews","et-has-post-format-content","et_post_format-et-post-format-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3558"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3558\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kapionews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
