Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!
After my spiel, they reassured me both over the phone and in person that they were able to serve Celiacs with confidence. It took me literally two bites and a speed run to the washroom to realize that was completely untrue. I left the meal 98% untouched, and informed the server that the food had made me ill and that we needed to pay ASAP so I could go back to my private hotel bathroom. Paid for everything and left in tears - the staff didn’t even apologise or offer to comp my meal. Was a great last night for our vacation. Slay Noi Thai
The other Paia fish market on the island is far superior in taste, quality, and service. This paia however was really bad. We found hair in our food, our order was incorrect THREE TIMES. They did not take our food allergy concerns seriously when we returned the food back. The lady taking orders obviously hates her job. Service was very slow. Management needs to step up at this location & take things seriously. But we still love fish Paia, just not this location. Rice was not cooked properly or flavorful. Fish was cooked perfectly though. We hope this review is seen and taken seriously as we are repeat customers and love to support local businesses that offer gluten free and dairy free options.
Amazing beach-side restaurant! The food was great, and our waiter, Kobe, was amazing! He was knowledgeable about my gluten allergy and my friend's nut allergy and gave us all the info and accommodations that we needed.
Food was delicious! Services was excellent. Our server, Julia, was friendly, efficient and helpful. My husband and I are both celiac and they understood and made sure our food was safe for us. Would highly recommend!
I was looking for a gluten-free poke and I got it. Super tasty. Lineups in February were long, but it is unbelievable how quickly you get your order once you order it.
If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways.
Don't spend your money here.
Great place for variety. Portion sizes are large and plentiful. The wait staff are lovely and were very informed about gluten free requirements. Have eaten here twice during my stay and no issues after eating. Great gluten free choices available. The fries are cooked separately and are gf also! Thank you for a wonderful meal.
If you want to come and eat here, come early as it's very popular and you may have to line up and wait a little, but the line moves quickly.
Do not come here if you are looking for safe dining for gluten allergy or celiac. Go to Lulu’s Waikiki instead, where they have a wide variety of gluten free items and DO make the effort to avoid cross contamination, unlike this restaurant.
Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!
Great food. Very accommodating for Celiac and gluten free. Fast service. Atmosphere/lighting could be better and more inviting. Large portions. Went here twice on vacation.

I made a reservation for 6pm on my honeymoon.
◯Meat
For my main dish, I chose Porterhouse steak.
During my stay, I went to another famous steak restaurant, and the meat at Ruth's was not only delicious, but the seasoning was relatively well-seasoned, and I could feel the restaurant's commitment to it.
◯Service
The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and a special feeling.
We prepared a plate to celebrate our honeymoon.
A separate gluten-free menu was available. It is also recommended for people with wheat allergies.
The food was amazing! They had a lot of gluten free options, the refills for the ice tea were free, waitress was so kind.
I would definitely recommend this place!
Delicious Shrimp and Charming Vibes at Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood!
For a fantastic fast-casual lunch experience, look no further than Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood! Nestled charmingly amidst the shops in the Hilton Hawaiian Village area, this spot offers a delightful outdoor seating area that's both quaint and inviting.
The star of the show here is definitely the shrimp – and for good reason! We all ordered it, and it was truly amazing. Cooked to perfection, it was flavorful and satisfying. Our shrimp came with a simple yet effective trio of side salad, rice, and corn. While the corn might have been from a can or frozen, it certainly didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the meal.
What truly impressed us, beyond the delicious food, was their commitment to dietary needs. Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood boasts a dedicated gluten-free menu.
This attention to detail is a huge plus for anyone with dietary restrictions.
Blue Water Shrimp and Seafood is full of charm and delivers on its promise of delicious seafood in a relaxed, friendly setting. It's the perfect spot for a casual and tasty lunch in the heart of the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely.
The food is was amazing, as well as the service.
Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table.
The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious.
The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing.
They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free.
Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.
I have celiacs disease and they were so accommodating with gluten free food! The chef was amazing, wait staff was so friendly and helpful and the food was DELICIOUS
Great atmosphere and options for food. Casual dining experience with live music. Cauliflower crust is a great option for gluten free needs. Got the brewmaster and the Hunter. Both were unique pizzas with great taste.
pretty high quality fish with very high prices and middling service at best. they have a happy hour some days. gluten free soy sauce and menu available.
Best gluten free waffles I’ve ever eaten in my entire life!! However, a breakfast for myself, husband and our 3 kids cost us $157!! It didn’t come across as very child friendly, however, the child menu was great (for non celiacs) and the kids got good value on their meals.
No frills restaurant with very good food, staff was very knowledgable and able to cater for our coeliac daughter (which we found to be a struggle in other restaurants around Waikiki). Food was lovely, great place for a quick meal.
Yoon made our evening amazing. Fantastic customer service specially took care of my wife’s gluten allergies. Loved the food, amazing ambiance on the patio overlooking the beach
From someone who NEVER writes reviews...
When you pair great taste with a waiter who was on top of his game,
It makes for a great meal and what would be our normal go to for dinner out if we were locals!
The great service started with Tony being extremely knowledgeable of celiac disease to the point of understanding cross contamination and being able to tell us which foods to avoid because of it! Not something we're used to back home.
We ordered the Guava BBQ St Louis style ribs. They substituted the fries for garlic mashed without us even having to ask. The flavor of this sauce if you love a sweet sauce this one has an amazing flavor and has no spice/kick to it. Unfortunately the rack that was brought wasn't the greatest of quality of meat. We didn't ask for or expect anything to be done, we even turned down the replacement that was offered. Before we knew it, either the owner or manager was at the table insisting on making up for the toughness of the ribs. He had another half rack brought out and they were amazing.
We loved this place so much we came back twice ! The cocktails are so good ! You can just sit at the bar listening to music having drinks. Then we had a nice birthday dinner. I have a gluten and shellfish allergy and I felt so comfortable eating here. They use tamari as their soy sauce so it was so nice to enjoy the Brussel sprouts , garlic fried rice with sauce. IYKYK. My fiancé had the mashed potatoes and mac and cheese and can’t stop talking about it.
Went here for my sisters wedding rehearsal dinner. The team was so accommodating of our allergies (gluten and dairy free) and the food was great. Kimmy our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and even gave me one of her own reusable grocery bags to help me carry our leftover wine bottles back to the hotel!
A Must-Try Gem: Goofy Cafe and Dine Exceeds Expectations!
My recent visit to Goofy Cafe and Dine was an absolute delight! This charming spot truly lives up to its "cute" reputation, offering a fantastic dining experience from start to finish.
The star of our meal was undoubtedly the mahi-mahi. Every member of my family ordered it, and we were all in agreement – it was absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying chardonnay butter sauce was a revelation, adding a rich and flavorful touch that elevated the dish.
To quench our thirst, we opted for the fresh-squeezed raspberry lemonade, and it was just as impressive. Perfectly tart and sweet, it was a refreshing complement to our meal, and another unanimous hit with the family.
We also indulged in a couple of starters: the Kulua pork and the Hawaiian beef jerky. Both were excellent, setting the stage for the wonderful main courses.
Beyond the fantastic food, the service was truly great. Our wait staff was not only friendly and efficient but also incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it came to dietary needs. It was reassuring to have such well-informed staff who could confidently guide us on gluten-free options.
Goofy Cafe and Dine is a gem – a place where delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service come together to create a memorable dining experience. We can't wait to go back!
Having a gluten allergy can make dining out difficult, but almost their entire menu can be made this way. Super friendly staff and by far best meal I had on my 2 week vacation. Incredible drinks as well.
Fantastic! Fresh food, excellent service, and not only does their menu indicate what's gluten-free, they had gluten-free shoyu for me to use :) Will def return.
Best Acai Bowl in town? That's absolutely true! As I already got my breakfast on the way but wifey wanted to try, I declined a waffle and just grabbed some iced coffee. As we got the Acai Bowl they surprised us with some waffles on the side! Wifey is gluten intolerant so I sacrificed myself for those heavenly waffles.. Go get there, guys! It's not the last time we went.
We visited this Ihop 3 days in a row. Each day we had the pleasure of Joanns company. She was absolutely amazing!! I have gluten allergies and she made sure to do everything in her power to take it safe. She also remembered mine and my husbands order after only 1 visit. I am from Canada where Ihops that are left have garbage service and food. Not here in honolulu. If we come back this will be our breakfast place. Thanks so much Joann for such an amazing breakfast experience 3 days running.
Great empanada food truck. Friendly service, quick delivery, and most importantly tasty empanadas! They have gluten free options too which is highly appreciated! Will come back! Thanks!
Horrible spot …says farm fresh and what not ..I got the fresh turkey breast bacon cheddar on a hero …they literally gave me pre 3 slices of cold cut turkey from the package not even fresh cold cuts paid 15 dollars for that ..and got my wife’s order completely wrong after ensuring her she would get some gluten free options gave her the complete wrong order .she ordered tacos they gave her a trash burrito ..u guys suck ..looks at my pics for the bull shiizzzzz sandwich
I went to this restaurant with some colleagues for dinner. I had the local catch with Peruvian aji and it was amazing. Hands down the best meal I had while in Honolulu. One of my colleagues is gluten intolerant and they were able to accommodate her too. Definitely recommend it.
Overall the food and drinks were terrible. Bonus there is a gluten free burger and fries, don't get too excited, it was served on a dry bun (that fell apart when I picked it up for the first bite) with flavorless meat and brisket and no sauce offered. Their usual sauce is BBQ and not GF so I had to flag down the server for some mayo at least. Atmosphere was busy and there is a beautiful view but also birds pooping above us on the umbrellas and tables/chairs. Server was friendly. Mojito was terrible. Overpriced because of location. 0/10 would not recommend.
My mom and I have been to Basalt restaurant several times during our two week stay in Hawaii, and each visit has been exceptional. The consistently amazing food, especially their gluten-free options, never fails to impress. The staff is not only friendly but also remarkably attentive, always making us feel welcomed and remembered. A five-star experience every time!
Single sensitive seating and gluten-free options. Dave was wonderful and charming. All the staff was friendly and talkative. Really wonderful experience
Totally amazing food, HIGH Quality ingredients. And their flower is from Japan in a completely different gluten. So if you have a gluten allergy, you may can eat the udon noodles and be perfectly fine. Amazing amazing. Amazing! Delicious so good I wanna go back.!
We were in Waikīkī for a week and had breakfast here 4 times. The staff were very kind and accommodating and food was always delicious. Good gluten free options
