Big Monster Sushi & Thai- LIHUE

Not safe to eat here. Yes they have gluten free options. Yes they have great menu. But when I told them I was gluten free they automatically brought out a so called gluten free soy sauce. It was regular tamari and most tamari doesn’t have wheat but this one did. Plain as day. I called the owner over and he took it away and later came back with his iPhone and a google search that said “does tamari have gluten” and google said no. I tried explaining to him that was not the case. They continue to use wheat ingredients, claiming gluten free.

They brought out soy sauce and said “here’s the gluten free soy sauce. And it was tamari… but the 2nd ingredient was wheat. They had no idea wheat contains gluten

Wonderful experience at this restaurant! We were quickly seated even without a reservation and during a busy time! The food was really good, and they were super accommodating of both a gluten and a nut allergy (I could’ve cried happy tears when our server brought out GF soy sauce without me even asking!). The price was just right and the service was super friendly and quick. If you're in the area and looking for a great meal with accommodating service, this spot is a must-try!
