We stopped by Lulu’s for lunch because they have a pretty robust selection of gluten free items, which seems hard to come by in Waikiki.
We had a lot of trouble with our order - 2 of our drinks had to be remade, the eggs on my Lulu Moco were fried instead of the requested over easy, and we ended up with a fly in another drink.. BUT I’ll say Sage, the waiter, and the manager both handled it really well. Both were very on top of getting things remade and coming to check on us to make sure everything was fixed to liking.
The food was also good, but the fish tacos were definitely the best thing any of us ordered.
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.
Great gluten free poke (for coeliac traveller) with vegetarian option of tofu and gf soy sauce. Every server had great awareness of what was gluten free and how to reduce possible cross contamination. Felt very safe eating 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.
GLUTEN FREE RAMEN!!! The noodles were excellent and did not fall apart, good flavor and chew. Several broths to choose from. Can sub chicken for the char siu. Friendly, knowledgeable, and quick service! Five stars is not enough!
Great gluten free pizza!
This gluten-free pizza stands out compared to most I’ve tried nationwide. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone with Celiacs.
No actual parking though...even picking up the pizza was challenging...I guess there was a parking garage behind the place.
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!

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.
You can choose as you like.
You can also order your favorite burger.
This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤
You can also choose how well the patty is cooked.
If you don't like red, try medium rare.
Because it's quite rare
Well done might be fine!
The shake is not sweet either
And above all, the staff
Extremely kind
We shared one burger.
They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces.
Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious?
Can you go? He asked me 😊
Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟
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!
Prices have dramatically increased, still delicious.
Used to come here all the time, unlimited toppings pizzas were $12. Now they are $19 and +2-$6 for various crust options (thick crust, cauliflower and gluten free.) Still delicious.
I just love this place! First and foremost the staff is amazing, I came here with my 9 month old and my hands were full, and I believe the employee’s name was Daryl, he went out of his way to help me. I couldn’t have been more grateful…this isn’t off that one experience, I’ve been here nearly everyday for a month. The staff here is very kind, and the atmosphere is great!
The coffee never disappoints, and being that I’m gluten free, there aren’t many options, but the ones I do have are amazing.
Highly recommend their cappuccinos, and their gluten free almond cake, and their gluten free chocolate caramel dome.
We made a reservation for 6 PM. We were a little early so they said that they needed to get the table ready. Thats fine. We waited about 10 minutes past our reservation time before they had it "ready". And then when we went up there they still had to move it to be ready. And to top it all off that table has been completelh empty when we got there to begin with so not sure why we weren't seated then since they didn't need to wait for a party to leave that was occupying the table. We had looked at the menu before hand and that was part of why we chose this place. No where on the website does it mention they have a current limited menu, like cut in half. None of the items we had planned to eat were on the limited menu including the items the 3 kids wanted bc literally all the offered were mac and cheese for kids. We had also picked this place bc we knew they had gluten free items for one member of our party. Then with the limited menu all the was available was salad and like one other item if you got it without the sauce. The drink I had gotten at the bar while we waited for nothing was very good though . We ended up leaving and eating elsewhere.
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.
Beautiful beach Cafe with amazing view, friendly service, and great food. Clearly labeled vegan and gluten free food. I got the vegan Moco Loco with fried rice and it was delicious. It was enough for two people. The rice was a touch undercooked. The lava flow smoothie was so good!
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.
Everyone in our party loved their food. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating with those at our table who needed gluten free options. The area is lively and fun. Definitely recommend!
Great açai one of the best of the islands. Typical Brazilian includes milk powder and condensed milk. Reasonably priced. Fast and friendly service. Includes gluten-free granola.
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.
Atmosphere was decent & inviting. Service was basic with self ordering. Gluten Free French toast was burnt on the underside. Pretty much ruined the desire to go back.
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.
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.
Fete lives up to all the excitement and positive reviews it has received. Our waitress walked us through the entire menu to point out what had gluten in it and what did not. My wife and I split the special beet salad with grass-fed local steak and the Biggie Small Koji-Brined Ludovico Chicken. The sauce on the chicken was unlike anything I’ve ever had before. One of the best meals on our visit to Oahu.
As tourists, Sweet E’s was a quick in and out breakfast spot where we fueled up after a sunrise hike or before a day of excursions—get there before 8 am to avoid a line. The servers roam between tables to ensure all guests have what they need instead of a single server checking on you infrequently. My coffee never got cold because every time a server saw room, they topped off my mug! I’m vegan and gluten free, so the only item on their menu I could eat was oatmeal, but they doctored it up with toppings like blueberries, honey, and peanut butter. And my husband had leftovers, which is a testament to the large portion sizes!
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!
Tina kills it every time… she’s the main reason we come regularly. I love the friendly atmosphere, convenient location and the food is great. Would love to see more gluten free options on the menu though!
My new favorite Thai restaurant!! Most delicious of any I’ve been to. Love the atmosphere, with all seating outside.
Very accommodating and able to make lots of dishes vegan, if not already (some have fish sauce.) Appreciate the clear labeling on the menu for vegan and gluten free.
Big portions!
We had to wait for a table for lunch, Fri at 1. So might be a good idea to make reservations.
Celiac friendly
