Level V

If you told me this was vegan food I wouldn't have believed you!!! I don't know how he gets all those flavors into it and makes it even kind of textured.Order early as things tend to sell out really quick! Their portions are really generous, I've had the "beef" stew, the "chicken" katsu, and the loco Moco. I think my favorite was the beef stew. Parking can be a little tight if a lot of people come at the same time but he is pretty quick about getting out the food.

Guilt free local kine grinds!If you want fresh, homemade, meatless plate lunches, this is the place!I met Hanson a few years ago and he's a hard working, caring, and smart businessman. During Covid, he was looking for an opportunity to make extra income to help pay for his son's tuition. He's a long-time vegan and noticed there wasn't much to offer when it came to vegan food locally. So he started Level V!The "beef" stew is the most filling plate. There's a hint of smokey deliciousness. The loco moco is mindblowing. The egg tastes exactly like an egg! The katsu is my absolute favorite. The crispy portabello mushrooms taste so amazing with the katsu sauce. All the plates come with rice and a side of mac salad.He has 2 new plates that I have yet to try ... the combination plate and chili frank. Everything is handmade from scratch with so much care and love. You can tell Hanson is passionate because he promotes veganism and cares for the environment, hence the 100% compostable containers. His food is a good meat alternative and is pretty darn tasty!Preorders start on Monday at noon and pick ups are only on Friday. I recommend setting a notification because orders sell out super fast lol Writing this review is already making me salivate lol I'm excited to see what he comes up with next!Thanks for reading my reviews! Let me know what I should try next!

Not vegan but I love food! I live next door to this spot so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Katsu/Chili combo plate on a Tuesday (it was one of the few dishes they had left) and I picked it up today around 12:30. Hanson's mom greeted me and took my information outside. While I was waiting with my baby in the stroller it started to sprinkle, and his mom came back with an umbrella for us! Hanson is just as nice and personable as his mom.My plate was delicious! Very flavorful and satisfying. The "chicken" katsu is portobello mushroom which I love but I know some aren't a fan of mushrooms so just a heads up. The chili is so good and I was perplexed how they got it to be so similar to meat chili! I also tried the loco moco which was just as good. Only downside is I love a fried egg with runny yolk and because it's vegan they just do scrambled "egg". Didn't matter though because it was still so good! Hands down best vegan plate lunch on island!

I found Level V on Instagram through other vegan businesses that I follow. They make "local style vegan plate lunches." If you don't know what that means, it means it comes with an entree, 2 scoops of rice, and a scoop of potato mac salad. They are 100% vegan. WOW!As far as I know, they work strictly from Instagram and their Square site. Orders are put in online on Mondays, and pickup for your order is on Fridays from 12 pm - 2 pm.I happened to see their InstaStory for pre-orders on their vegan chicken katsu. This was a special week because Friday was a holiday, so that pickup would be for Saturday, 1/2/21. I immediately DM'd them to place my order. And all I had to do was wait... That was the hardest part. Saturday rolled around, and we drove to town for pick up. The location is on Pi'ikoi Street near the post office. It is a small lot, but there were a few stalls to park. I called the number provided, and someone came out to confirm our order and asked if we needed a bag and utensils. While we waited, another person came out to give us our choice of Vitamin Water drinks. Then our order arrived to our car. The person who brought it offered us a disinfecting wipe, too. Everyone we spoke to had masks and gloves on. Glad to know that safety is a priority for them.As soon as we got home, we were able to feed our faces. WOW. The taste of the katsu was unbelievable - for real. It was crispy, tasty, and just straight-up delicious. You don't need the katsu sauce; the katsu by itself is amazing. The potato mac salad was good, and the bed of shredded cabbage provided a great crunch.If one of your NYE resolutions is to eat a little healthier or maybe just eat tastier food, check out this 100% vegan, small business. Their Instagram is @levelv808. Follow for their specials.

From somebody who loves meat, this spot has the best vegan food on the island! My favorite is the all vegan egg, patty, mac salad & gravy w/ caramelized mushrooms & onions. Also the super crispy portabella mushroom katsu, Sooo Ono! I don't always eat vegan, but when I do, its LEVEL V! I highly recommend you try it for yourself!

I highly recommend Level V for everyone - vegan or meat lover. For transparency I love meat and I was a little hesitant trying vegan plate lunches... BUT Level V changed my perspective on vegan food. It is next level on flavor and I crave it now! My favorite is the vLoco Moco and a close second is the vChicken Katsu. If you love gravy all over like me, no worries - you will get enough gravy! Who thought you could turn a portabella mushroom into katsu? So YUMMY. You need to pre-order on Monday & pick up on Friday! Great for planning your lunch ahead.On top of being healthy, I absolutely love that Level V is also environmentally conscious! Everything is plant-based (plastic free) including the container & utensils.

The food is sooooooo goood!!!!! The Katsu is my fave! But everything is sooo good! Can't even tell the chili is vegan!

Local plate lunch style vegan plates. The portobello mushroom Katsu is by far the best Katsu I have eaten. Portions were enough for two meals. This is not just for vegans but for anyone who loves food. Everything tasted amazing and service was full of aloha. I will be definitely be a customer for life.

This is one of my favorite vegan places on the island! I stopped eating meat about two years ago and I was SO HAPPY when I found out I could get one of my favorite meals--beef stew with rice and mac salad-- in vegan form! I also love the vChicken Katsu which is made with portobello mushroom, and the loco moco is bomb too (but it sells out very quickly so make sure to order on the site right at noon on Mondays!). He recently added a vChili Frank which was also one of my go-to orders from Zippy's before I stopped eating meat and it is delicious! Most importantly, you can just tell how much heart and soul Hanson puts into his cooking, and it feels great to be able to enjoy local style plate lunches made completely from plant-based ingredients. Highly recommend-- but don't forget to set your alarms so you don't miss out!

I'm not a vegan but I can't gush enough on how delicious the Vegan Chicken Katsu is. I preordered a platter for a family party and everyone raved about how delicious it was!
