The dishes at Vein are well thought out, and executed in amazing fashion. The food is locally/farm-sourced, and you can taste the quality ingredients shining through.
The staff is well-educated on the menu, and offer some great recommendations if you're stuck choosing between some delectable choices.
Book a reservation, and take advantage of the outdoor seating on a nice breezy day!
Food is good as always.
Reservation system may need to be improved. Arranging table to sit is a big challenge. They should honor first come first serve rule.
The server is kind of pushing to order all dishes at the same time.
Ended up, Appetizers comes with all main dishes. Full table of dishes.
Maybe they want customers to finish eating fast and go asap!!
During the pandemic time, the service was much better 🤔
We went for lunch so the menu was pretty limited. The entrees were good and at a good price, the salad was pretty meh though. I liked the focaccia, it was kinda plain on its own but went well with the pastas. I will probably give it another try at dinner time to see what the full menu looks like.
Ate at the bar and it was terrific, good cocktails, excellent food, and fun service people! Bartender is inventive! Been a while since I’ve been excited with Honolulu dining and Vein has a lot to be excited about!
It was so goooood! It was our first time here at this retaurant for our wedding anniversary but my wife and I loved it!
I'm glad I gave this place a try. The service was decent, but the food was great! I was disappointed that they didn't have uni for the bone marrow; they substituted a saffron butter, which worked really well with it.
The lamb was cooked perfectly. I highly recommend it. I thought the sauce could have been more intensely flavored with more spices, but it was still delicious.
The custard of the crème brûlée was so good, but I thought the cherry compote on top subtracted instead of added to the dish.
Overall, I really enjoyed the food, and will definitely be back.
Vein has a nice artistic feel to it. An open kitchen and a menu full of fantastic dishes. It's has foods of all categories and is prepared with care. If your looking for a nice place that
sells great creative lux meals at a price... look no further than Vein at Kakaako. Plus The Salt is a buzzing place
Food, atmosphere, service, all....SUPERB!
Treated my family of 5 to dinner. Me, wife, & 3 kids. Even the 2 younger picky eaters got to taste dishes they were nuts about. No leftovers!

My youngest (8 yrs) liked the Pistachio Pasta so much we ordered another.

Money well spent. My family were falling over each other thanking me for the experience.
Vein is an incredible dining location! The food is delightfully flavored, the selection is unique, and the cocktails are excellent! Try their unique twist on an old-fashioned Mai Tai! Words can’t even begin to describe how flavorful and well presented everything is here. The ambiance and decor is refined too! Come here if you want your taste buds to party!! #Clam #Lamb #PorkChop
Mediterranean-Hawaiian-Asian fusion with a name that does not seem to reflect the cuisine- identity confusion?-maybe but the food is cohesive and delectable.Service is spot-on-super attentive but not fawning.
❤️ PORCINI AND SHITAKE RUB RIB EYE with SALSA VERDE ,Bone marrow with uni butter -stand outs

Amazing restaurant offering beautiful and tasty dishes! Grilled Octopus is a must try! Mushroom risotto and Grilled Salmon....
Great service - very accommodating and friendly. After Fish Honolulu didn’t honor our reservation, we were stuck with a party of 12 on a Saturday evening. Vein’s staff was friendly and immediately checked if they could fit us in. Thankfully they were able to accommodate our group, which included 4 children. They don’t have a children’s menu, but their chef specially made a pomodoro pasta for them since they didn’t want an alfredo sauce.
The arancini and salmon appetizers were delicious. I had the risotto funghi and my husband had the mahi special. Both were delicious. The pork chop was also a favorite in our group, even among the children.
Everything is sooo good! My favorites are the Mushroom Risotto, Uni Butter Bone Marrow and My Thai.
The uni pasta was delicious, very rich flavor!
Nice restaurant, very interesting menu. But salad with watercress didn't have watercress, octopus was burnt. Food can taste better.
I could not wait to dig in our food, Randy made the best recommendations on what to eat . Customer service at its finest and the dinner and dessert was the best I ever had!!! Delicious!!!
