We came to this restaurant excited for the food based off recommendations from online and gluten free forums. My wife has celiac and we made that clear with our waitress Sarah. Sarah was kind to us but was a little slow on service even though it didn't seem incredibly busy. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get seated and then another 5-10 minutes to get water and menus. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our order was taken and drinks refilled. Sarah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided some recommendations which we trusted.
I got the Zesty Coconut Catch and my wife ordered the Soy Wasabi Local Catch gluten free. The food took about 10-15 to get to our table but the lady running it gave it to the table next to us first and then to us. The food was superbly mediocre. Not great not bad. Super dissapointing to spend $100 on food that wasn't good. The only thing I have to compliment is the fish was cooked well.
Overall not a bad place but super dissapointed at the quality for the price.
We had the Coconut Shrimp Curry and the Fish Curry, both of which were excellent. The hummus naan was also delicious, and it was a generous portion size. Both curries were gluten-free, but unfortunately the rumors about gluten-free naan are false. Overall, the food was awesome and the staff was friendly. Thank you!
We were so impressed with this place. The poke is delicious and it was awesome to have the option for gluten free. We ordered four different options on two visits and all were great but the Hanalei Special was our absolute favorite.

Really fun restaurant! The servers were super friendly and the food was amazing! They offer gluten free options including some amazing fish and chips. Highly recommend
Very disappointed. Coming back and having this again, so disappointed to not feel taken care of. I had my equal eats card. I had the conversation with the cashier, she had the conversations with the workers. I then asked specifically if they were going to touch gluten could they wash hands and/or change gloves. Then I watch the girl making the shaved ice, my shaved ice, eating a jar of overnight oats….while making my shaved ice! I was very upset. So I brought my shaved ice to my family and had to watch them eat it after waiting in a very long line.
Highly recommended. The service was fantastic and the food was both innovative and delicious. We will definitely return! The menu is well-thought-out and caters to everyone, with options for seafood, meat, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.
They do have gluten free options and the server took great care to ensure all the food was gluten free! My wife’s food was not gluten free as you can see by the photo 😂
Celiac safe!!! Some of the best and freshest thai food I have ever had! Allergy friendly and celiac safe! They have many gluten free options and it' s all delicious!
I loved this spot very much. I’m celiac and vegetarian and finding a good, filling breakfast can be difficult. This place rocked if you’re looking for a refreshing but filling morning meal! I got the good times bowl and ice matcha and was savoring every bite. One of the best açaí bowls I’ve ever had.
I LOVE Mexican and Tex-Mex foods. When my husband and I were at some sort of night market in this shopping center, although I wasn't hungry at the time, we decided we'd come back and try this place.
Ended up here right as the opened with only one guy in front of me. I ordered the Fat Mama with beef as a gluten free burrito bowl for $16 and a lilikoi agua fresca for $6.
My husband was so annoyed when he checked the receipt on his phone and noticed they charged an undisclosed 3% credit card fee. Places that charge fees when they're benefiting as a business from not having to carry and secure large amounts of cash, do less bank runs and have higher sales because people can use cards, can kick rocks.
The food was completely underseasoned and I told my husband he could have the rest. It barely had any lettuce for a bowl - it was like one leaf deep on 1 third of the top of a bowl full of gummy rice. The agua fresca was also bland.
Would not recommend.

Da Fazenda slaps. Lots of different great flavors on the combo plate, and a lot of protein to get you full. We shared a combo plate and a side of 3 pao de queijo (gluten free cheese bread) and were stuffed. For $31 it was a great value for 2 people. Side of salsa was crackin too. Go here
Absolutely amazing place and wonderful atmosphere. We went in the evening after visiting the beach, kid friendly atmosphere, always playing good hawaiian music and then even had a live performer. The food was absolutely delicious, honestly in the top 2 restaurants we visited on the island.
They had gluten free options and made my sister the best gluten free pizza we've ever tasted. The shrimp and fish tacos were the best, and the Opakapaka was delicious. Highly recommend. Also has a great ocean front view and we got to watch the ocean and see a rainbow.
The service was quick and friendly, the food was amazing, and the views are incredible! We ordered the poke appetizer and Brussel sprouts before our main courses. The poke was so good, I ordered a second appetizer of it. The main courses were all presented beautifully and tasted delicious. I loved how accommodating this restaurant was to my gluten free diet. I was told only the bao buns had gluten and I’m not used to having so many options to choose from.
We made a special trip to Hanalei just to eat at this restaurant. The French toast was more like a huge funnel cake and was absolutely delicious! The pork burrito was just above average. But the service and attitude was slow and downright rude when we informed them that a person in our party is extremely allergic to gluten and dairy. We asked if they could make the pork burrito without the tortilla and the cheese. It seemed like they were upset at such a request and were very put out to have to accommodate the request. But they said they would make it in a bowl and omit the gluten and dairy ingredients and place the sauce on the side. Which they forgot to give us the sauce on the side.
They also didn't put an ingredient/sauce on my standard burrito. When I asked for the sauce they said it would be an extra $1. I told them I shouldn't have to pay extra for sauce that should be on the burrito to start with. Then they started to grab the cup of sauce when I said I shouldn't have to pay for the missing sauce. Then I informed them that they forgot the side of sauce on the bowl burrito. Then I was told to just take the sauce in a very rude way as the person quickly turned and walked away.
This restaurant is extremely popular and the line was out the door as we left. So they must be doing many things right. I just wanted to let anyone with serious dietary restrictions, know of our experience when we asked to modify a dish so everyone in our party could enjoy this restaurant.
I also know anyone can have a bad day, and maybe this was the situation. But I've worked in the restaurant business for years in my parents restaurant and this level of rigidness and rudeness has no place in a customer facing position.
The food was good- and the portions were generous. Lots of big chunks of meat and vegetables. They were so good about the spicing my food myself.
I’m gluten free and they definitely had good Thai options though I wouldn’t recommend if you’re celiac.
You order at the counter and get a pager. Pick up and clean up after yourself.
Avoid! Extremely rude! My wife and daughter attempted to ask about gluten free. Our daughter has celiac. The man they spoke with insulted them and spoke harshly to them.
Outstanding bc I could eat REALLY delicious gluten free lunch here including potatoes as my carb with witchingly delicious sauce!!! So good!!! Prices reasonable!
Absolutely scrumptious 😋 👌🏼🤍 we came back two days in a row because it was so good. The perfect refresher after a surf session in the sun. We've tasted : their açaí bowl (which is glutenfree) and added some protein powder; the nr 9 smoothie which I added some spinach to and the blue magic smoothie !
All of these we're absolutely delicious and we highly recommend. The service was also very kind and the location is very convenient since it is right next to a surf spot!
Celiac friendly
