100% GF restaurant!

This is hands down one of the best lattes I’ve ever had. The quality of the espresso and milk are incredible. I ordered whole cows milk and my husband ordered the macadamia milk latte. Both very good. Don’t miss out on all their gluten free pastries and GF quiches. First day we tried the broccoli and feta quiche & mushroom bell pepper. Both gluten free but couldn’t tell. We came back the next day to order another latte and tried the GF blueberry scone. Again, couldn’t tell the difference of gluten free or regular. They also have a little water statin to pour your own cup. I wish they had a coffee shop like this in San Diego. Highly recommend this place.

Such good huge tacos! My husband and I got 3 and shared them and it was the perfect amount.

Stacey Mehl

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Bethany Flickinger

Gluten free pizza is expensive but so delicious!

Andrea James

First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

Merissa Peil

Best fish tacos ever! We ate here multiple times on our trip! Highly recommend!

Aidan S

My wife and I came here on a whim and we were super impressed! The staff was super friendly and super accommodating for my wife's gluten intolerance (she has celiac). We got fried pickles which were so tasty and well portioned. We also got the spicy poke bowl and the fresh fish bowl. Our server made sure both the dishes were gluten free for us! Can't recommend this place enough!

Nicolette Shipley

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!

Cait Foster

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

Dave Whitaker

Great spot for sushi. Just needs a few more options for gluten free. All in all a great experience nonetheless.

Mark

If you're a celiac visiting Maui, rest assured that this is a safe breakfast stop for you with many gluten free options! The owners are kind people who take celiac disease very seriously and are able to provide quality breakfasts that fueled several days of hiking and snorkeling for me!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Oonagh Knott

My partner and I live on Oahu but we come to the Big Island specifically for coffee and a couple amazing restaurants. This is one of those amazing restaurants that we love so much. We came for the weekend and have gone every day. The food is amazing, we are vegetarian not vegan and typically I don’t like non dairy alternatives but I truly can’t tell that this food is vegan. The Mac and cheese was amazing and the ice cream is so creamy and delicious. The wraps, pancakes, and tacos are also our favorites. My partner is also gluten free and they make incredible gluten free options for every menu item. The service is also amazing, staff are very friendly and keep the place very clean. My partner forgot to order her pancakes gluten free and the lovely lady at the register offered to fix it for no extra cost. I highly recommend you make some time to visit Journey, it is so worth it!

Chrystal Drinkwater

Best local organic foods in Hilo. Lots of options for Vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. The people are down to earth and kind. If you eat meat, they are very conscious about where they get the meat. The best Kombucha I have ever had. From the homemade cultured hot sauce to the gluten free dairy free brownies and banana splits, they do it right. Weds night they have Kava, open mic and pizza made with ancient grain organic flour. Owners are also very cool. 😎

Michelle Ruth

This was fun! Great for kids! And they have gluten free batter option for the pancakes which is great!

Nadine

I almost cried eating here the first time. I haven’t had fried rice in so many years and finding it so delicious and gluten-free on my vacation. I have to admit I have been there 3 times in not even a week… Staff is very friendly, portions almost too much but perfect after a long hike and the price is phenomenal. 17$ for this portion

Ashley London

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at P.F. Chang’s Honolulu thanks to our amazing waitress, Carlie. My son has celiac disease and has to eat strictly gluten free, which can often make dining out stressful and difficult. Carlie went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, especially for kids. Her kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly made our meal enjoyable and stress-free.

Sanja Cvetanovic

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.

Kitty C

Tasty food, large portions, 100% gluten free!

Hailey

Fish tacos were good! They had corn tortillas for us gluten free people.

Dorothy F Shelton

Such a cool place to eat! I got a spinach bagel made on gluten free bread that was a little disappointing because it wasnt super flavorful, but my husband got the pineapple pizza on gluten free crust and that was super good! I appreciate there being gluten free options! They will make the bagels or sandwiches with gluten free bread! And they play hawaiian Jesus music and they just put on such a nice atmosphere here. :) this place deserves more business!

Amber Turkin

Amazing experience! We were able to get a same day reservation and were seated early upon our arrival even with the restaurant already being busy. The food was absolutely incredible - definitely the best we had during our stay in Kauai and maybe the best we’ve had in several months (years? Who knows - time passes so quickly these days). We loved our drinks (both booze and non-alc choices), our entrees (Keoki’s style, panko Mac nut crusted, and chef’s fresh fish duo), dessert (the bread pudding and mango GF pono pie) and the overall ambiance (beautiful setting, live music). They were super accommodating of gluten and nut allergies too. Definitely recommend!

Paul T

Wife has celiac and eaten many times. Make sure to tell them an allergy and they will change gloves and take special precautions even when they are busy!

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

Bethany Flickinger

Had to ask the waiter about gluten free but he knew exactly what I could eat! 10/10 recommend! The best service I’ve ever experienced and everyones dish was delicious!

Alexis Webster

Best place ever!!! They have gluten free.

M R

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Christine Smith

Gluten free pancakes were amazing, great service too!

Samantha Holloway

As someone with gluten and dairy intolerance they were very professional, knowledgeable, and took the issue seriously. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free items and you can ask about dairy free. I had the short rib with kimchi fried rice and vegetables which was very tasty. The frozen drinks are dairy free. Mahalo to our server Limar! If you are GF and DF your best options are the 12 oz ribeye with rice instead of mashed potatoes or the short ribs with kimchi fried rice and vegetables. The fryer is not GF. The staff is very attentive and friendly. There was recorded music playing lightly that was pleasant and relaxing.

Gillian Haden

Delicious gluten free and dairy free ice cream, right off the beach! The fruit was always fresh, and the combinations were perfect!

H P

Everything but the meatballs can be made gluten free and everything is delicious. Ate here several times and had no problems. They are so kind and will help you make anything GF.

Eli Splean

The meatball sub is on another level. So flavorful and filling. 4 good sized, JUICY meatballs on a toasted hoagie lightly sauced and lots of cheese! I really enjoy that it's not drenched and soggy. They also have really good Gluten free pizza! Will be back for more!

Sabrina K

Celiac accommodating

Maya Rigby

(the line is worth it!) Very very good food, I got the blackened Mahi Mahi plate. The rice, potatoes, and coleslaw went well with the fish!! The fries weren’t the best, just kinda standard, so I def recommend getting the rice and potatoes instead. Basically everything on the menu that isn’t fried or in a sandwich is celiac-friendly. My fiancé with celiac got the chicken plate with rice and potatoes and he didn’t have any cross-contamination sickness afterwards! Yay

Ross Mason

Not the best experience for a celiac. Some gluten free items - but no dedicated fryer.

Ijin Link

DO NOT ORDER GLUTEN FREE! You will likely get "Glutened" as my daughter did. Other than that... Normal people will enjoy good food in reasonable sized portions for a good price.

Merissa Peil

Had the best dinners here on our trip! The macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi was the best! Highly recommend. They are so good about food allergies here! They are informed and take them seriously!

Courtney Radmall

The owner has celiac disease and they have organic syrups and really yummy shaved ice. Definitely worth a visit. They also have food options and the owner knows how to prep even in a small food truck to prevent cross contact.

Paul T

Great restaurant and very accommodating for celiac. Have eaten here numerous times and never gotten sick! Food is amazing too!

Alfred Hofmann

Definitely the best shop, very fresh, gluten-free, cow's milk-free products are available there. We didn't find any items like this in other shops. Highly recommended this shop, nice helpful staff.

Jarrod Breckler

Great options for gluten free/celiac highly recommended!

Jenn & Steve GH

I called to confirm there were gluten free/dairy free options and was told yes there was a whole menu. Great! It also showed up on the GF app, so when we were seated i was very disappointed that at first glance there was very little that seemed to actually be GF/DF. Honestly I was ready to leave, I didn't want plain white rice and some protein with no sauce or flavor. Thankfully the manager was very helpful and went over all the options we had, and was very patient. Curry was not on my mind for dinner, but it was SO good! So was the pork loin. Even though I couldn't have the regular side, the sauce was amazing, and they were very accommodating with options. The drinks and wine were stellar. Honestly I would come back every time for the poke. The avocado sauce was insane with the ahi. Thank you for being much more accommodating than first appearance of your allergy menu.

Courtney Radmall

This place has tons of delicious gluten free options and takes celiac disease seriously. They have a dedicated fryer and will take precautions. They did warn me though that it isn't safe to anything that is made on the flat grill since they warm up bread on it. I highly recommend the sunrise pulled pork.

Domino Master

Had several conversations before hand about food allergies. Made it clear it was a long way to drive and they were sure we could eat lots of things with the allergies list we provided. Arrived and they showed us a small menu they said anything there would be fine. We have allergies to nuts, peanuts, shellfish, wheat, dairy. They offered things with gluten and peanuts. They really don’t understand about how a “little bit” of something could kill someone.

Leeann Funk

I’ve been coming to this restaurant since I was a kid and have always loved it, however I’ve since found out I’m celiac and eating out can be hard! Our waitress was an all-star and took my allergy very seriously and was great every step of the way. I got a veggie burger and it was phenomenal. My mom and boyfriend each enjoyed their dishes as well. We loved our visit and can’t wait to return soon.

Alyssa Siddiqui

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.

Greg Marturano

The food seems like it would be very good. The menu is confusing as there are certain items labeled gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian, however, you still need to request that it is made gluten free/dairy free etc. I made an incorrect assumption that since it was labeled on the menu that it was already free of my allergens but that is not the case. Just be sure to clarify and you will be good to go.

Kelly Smith

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.

Ashley Hale

They do list gluten free on some of their options. I did ask for a fresh/clean ice cream scoop and did not get a proper wash (just a dip in the water bucket). Could use better training on allergy safe tools.
