Top 9 Gluten-Free Spots to Discover in Kaimuki, Honolulu

1st time at this location. Easy parking by entrance or in back lot. Order inside, pickup outside. Seating options at both. Just as good as other locations! Love the more unique smoothie options, and ability to make meals gluten free. Great prices for the area! Rewards system and daily specials (free health shots on Fri, which was a nice treat.) Always wonderful to find a business that amplifies plants, sources locally, and has GF options.

This review has been updated after speaking with the owner. Honestly, I’m sad bc I got the home made gluten filled bread, but I ordered GF bread. I tried to call and couldn’t get through and woke up in the middle of the night with stomach pain. I want to clarify that I had ONE bite of the bread before I realized it’s not the GF bread. And just to update the note, they didn’t charge me for the bread, as the cashier forgot somehow - even though I did ask her if they have it when I arrived and then again asked them to use Gf bread. I was far away by the time I opened the sandwich and took a bite once at location realizing it was the same bread as my friend. Very disappointed. Update: They returned my sandwich money. But not without a lot of doubt. I understand it’s a small shop, the sandwich looked awesome. But please understand that this is important for health reasons. I think if you’re into gluten you should def give it a go.

Great place for gluten free food. GF chicken Katsu, acai bowls, salads, banana bread and more. Small place but lots of parking. Hole in the wall.

Outer space good. Mind blown. So much flavor and umami packed into small bites with a wide variety of ethnic flavors. My partner and I were over the moon. I enjoyed everything and the experience as a whole. We got to chat with Ana preparing all different dishes and enjoyed her expert decorum and conversation skills. Each item was explained and questions answered. Great date dinner. We will be back! FYI, can be gluten free on request and they exclusively come up with different dishes for gluten free, so there's a $30 upcharge. Standouts for me were Dan Dan tortellini, crystal crostini, kofte, kalo senbei, smoke of gravy pie filling, katsu mushroom sando, tacos, banana dessert and batter of the waffle dog. The soft scramble just egg on the sando was fluffy and a little wet, just the way I like it. Dan Dan flavors were intense and the schezuan peppers at the end had the perfect mouth tingle. Crystal crostini crunch was fun and garlic is my weakness. The taco sauces...bagna caude and strawberry something were so flavorful! Kofte had a thin, hot crisp layer with a hefty filling that I appreciated. Everything was yummy, really. Being picky, there were some inedible parts of the ulu in the pie, my partner and I wanted the pie crust as a slab like in old pictures vs the flower cut out which is pretty but not enough crust, the pie crust itself was hard to bite through. Waffle dog filling was mostly cheese that had melted, so upon biting, it looked empty (but tasted delicious). I'd like to be able to sit down at a table and order full sized portions of my favorites. A bowl of tortellini? Yes, please. A full steamer of xia long bao? Right here! Location! Entrance is facing 11th Ave across from the basketball court of the local park! The restaurant is skinny like the night bus squeezing between two cars... Look towards the far left of the one story building for the AV Restaurant sign next to the dumpster (unfortunate). This is not part of the complex of restaurants accessible from the big paid parking lot. Actually you can park right in front of the restaurant for FREE. Go up 11th Ave from waialae, it's a right turn after the park/basketball court.
