100% GF restaurant!

Stopped in for a coffee on my way from Two Step to Kona. The gluten free brownies tasted like the real deal and my iced Haupia Caramel latte was perfectly creamy and slightly sweet. Definitely add this to your list if you’re visiting.

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.

Ashley Byrne

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

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!

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!

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

Sin Arj

FIVE STARS! I'm vegetarian and my friend is gluten free and pretty much all their food catered to both of us. Fresh. Healthy. Delicious. Unique food. Lovely staff. Cosy atmosphere. Coming again and again for sure. 100% recommend.

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!

Hayley George

Great flavor - one of our best meals on the island. Very accommodating of gluten free/dairy free dietary needs.

Audrey Palmer

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!

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!

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!

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!

Ed Buchner

Gluten free and vegan options

David Schultz

Ambiance: Very cool garden setting. Live music at certain times. Overall an great atmosphere. Tends to be very busy. I'm giving it four stars, though, because they try to rush people through in 60 minutes to accommodate the next seating. They pushed us to order right away and then brought out our salad and entree at the same time. Wait: We waited 10 minutes with a reservation. Without a reservation, you're rolling the dice. Can be hard to get reservations during the peak season. Food: Good, but nothing special enough to justify the price. "Keoki's Style" fish was just ono with some pesto and a sweet glaze. The kale salad was quite good. They have happy hour specials 4-5, but if you come in with a 4:45 reservation, they won't allow you to order them. You have to arrive earlier than that. Drinks: The cocktails here are unique and good, but incredibly sugary. I would recommend them if that's your style. Prices range from $17-$25 per drink. Service: The front of the house generally did a good job, except that they served us a dish that I was allergic to after I told them about my gluten allergy. When I looked at the dish and asked the server to confirm that it was gluten free, she immediately apologized and took it away.

Overpriced but good açai. It is not the typical Brazilian açai it is blended with banana and other things. No seating space. Has gluten-free granola.

Helen Georgiou

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.

Ryan & Carey Doore

Delicious! We absolutely loved the pizza. Gluten free crust was 10/10! I highly recommend it if you are in Maui. A robot delivers the pizza. Fun atmosphere.

Pragna Basu

We initially missed the sign for this place, but once we saw it, it was easy to find and get parking. We had gluten free fish tacos and Hawaiian poke bowl, both were pretty good. The server was knowledgeable about gluten free options, and made sure to keep the fries which could be cross contaminated on the side, which my partner could eat. He also had a lilikoi cheesecake which he loved.

Gillian Haden

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

Rob Darwin

Do not come here if you are looking for safe dining for gluten allergy or celiac. Go to Lulu’s Waikiki instead, where they have a wide variety of gluten free items and DO make the effort to avoid cross contamination, unlike this restaurant.

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.

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!

Scott Valler

We had the fish tacos. They are gluten free without modification. They were awesome. You get two on an order and that was a nice portion. We went for lunch. The restaurant was clean, roomy, and the staff was very friendly and helpful when I asked questions about cross contamination. Definitely worth a visit.

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.

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.

Robert Hollenbaugh

Very tasty food. Had noodles as well as fried rice and curry. Everyone enjoyed their meal and the service was friendly and quick. Also very good gluten-free labeling (along with other allergies) so that is a major plus when ordering online.

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.

Jane Atlas

I explained many times to the waitress that I have I have celiac (gluten free), and also have a potato allergy and I wanted to order the ribs. For the side she recommended the salad since I can't have fries, and I said no croutons since they contain gluten. The ribs were delicious and I will be back for them, but as I was already halfway through eating my salad I noticed two small croutons hidden under some of it. I don't know if they premake the salads and just picked off the croutons or what, but the salad is definitely not celiac safe if that is the level of care you put into making them safe for people with food allergies. We deserve to eat out just like everyone else and just like with any medical condition we are allowed to ask for accommodations.

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.

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.

Mia Garrard

Super delicious açaí bowls and cold brew! We both got the kings açaí and were excited and surprised to see they had cold brews. We tried the blue coconut cold brew and it was delicious. Really friendly staff, fast service, and one of our favorite food stops during our visit to Maui. Also very nice that they have gluten free granola, usually it’s hard for us to find that and my partner ends up missing out on the granola. Can’t wait to go back!

Penny Weaver

Great place excellent food. Even for gluten free was great!
