Lava Lava Beach Club

Cool atmosphere with lots of peopleStaff was attentive and friendlyWe went on a Friday night.

We've always loved Lava Lava! Incredible location on the beach, and they're usually pretty packed so get there early. Today we waited in a long line to get in when they opened at 12 but got a fabulous table on the sand. It's a splurge but you're paying more for the experience.

we loved the lava beach club! we told the server that we were vegan and made them feel at home and all the options went through. the wobble rings were spectacular and even the spicy bbq sauce that came with it was so delicious. we had the tofu verity the goer black bean sauce and noodle. the mushrooms were so good and brokkoli. we loved the vibe and recommend it safe.

We loved the Lava Lava Beach Club! We told the server that we were vegan and she made us feel at home and went through all the options. The onion rings were spectacular and even the Spicy BBQ sauce that came with it was so delicious. We had the Tofu verity the Ginger Black Bean Sauce and noodles. The mushrooms were so good and broccoli. We loved the vibe and recommend it for sure.

The vegan burger option requires you to get it without a bun- we were informed that the bun is made with egg and they have no vegan bun option. In addition, the “coconut crusted tofu” batter had egg in it, so you can’t add that to any dishes. Disappointed to find this out after the menu wrongly suggests that there are plenty of vegan options Updated from previous review on 2023-06-27

I went here because they showed vegan options and the scenery looked amazing. We got decent service, and pricing was okay, but the menu left something to be desired. The worst item on the menu is dip that sounds like vegan nachos but is basically a salsa with 3 sweet potatoes. The fruit smoothies and cocktails are good. They did make a special tofu dish for the kids so extra points for that. View menu

My husband and I ate dinner here and enjoyed the beautiful view and live music. I got a vegan burger, which tasted a lot like a beyond burger made gluten free by not having a bun. My husband got the vegetarian version of the pineapple fried rice, which was beautiful! It was in a hollowed out pineapple, and the tofu looked amazing. We had to wait over an hour for a table, but otherwise, this was a good experience. Updated from previous review on 2023-06-25

Like other places on the big island, Lava Lava Beach Club has added more vegan/vegetarian options to the menu but it is still pretty limited unless you just want to sub plant based substitutes for other meats in dishes, which I never find as tasty as a thoughtfully made vegan or vegetarian meal. That being said, having the options is better than nothing and the atmosphere and location of this restaurant make it worth finding something that will work on the menu!

I used to go to LLBC a lot years ago when they had one vegan entree, which they’ve since taken off the menu. I read another review that says they have the best edemame, but you can go to KTA (grocery store) here for an equivalent version, but much much cheaper! The beach location is great, especially at sunset and the only reason I didn’t give them just one star. If you just want to have a drink on the beach and an appetizer, this is your place! If you want a good meal, don’t bother better vegan options and beach location at the Canoe House at the Mauna Lani. Updated from previous review on 2022 03 03 View menu
