Top 23 Gluten-Free Asian Dining Havens Across Hawaii

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

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

Love this place. Plenty of good gluten free options that are clearly labeled on the menu. The macadamia crusted mahi is amazing and so is the chowder. On my last visit, they had a promotion where they would match up to $50 off your meal if you donated to the Hawaii food bank.

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.

Tim Mullen

It's in an industrial area & building. The fried chicken is so good. Lightly battered & perfectly cooked. Everything on my plate was gluten-free. I felt very safe eating here.

Niki Strealy

Only a couple GF options, but GF garlic shrimp is delicious!

Dillon Etter

Delicious, friendly staff, fast service. Will definitely be back. The gluten free noodles are the best I’ve ever had.

Patrick Gremell

Amazing meal! Great service. Food came out super fast and hot. Made some modifications and they were exactly as ordered. Gluten-free items are clearly labelled. Left absolutely stuffed, with leftovers!

Jeremiah Hoehner

Great service and food. A beautiful view if you can snag an outdoor table. A lot of gluten free options and the menu is very clearly marked. Nestled in the resort, it's a must visit if you're staying on property at thr Hyatt.

Kelly Johnson

Gluten free and delicious!

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.

Paul T

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

Amber Eddy

Great thai food on our honeymoon. We throughly enjoyed eating "drunken noodles" and soupm we definitely return. They were great about accommodating gluten free and milk allergies.

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.

Arielle Rustad

New restaurant has a more modern/different vibe than the other one. It was still lovely nonetheless. Food was delicious but portions have gotten smaller and I would say has affected the level of enjoyment (Ie. the Vietnamese crêpe). For how much it cost, there was a little amount of food but still yummy. Also very good with Celiac allergy.

Amber Turkin

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!

Mari Mai

If you have a good friend, or you yourself are vegan this place is the best place on Island to eat!! It is small, and kind of a secret—the tempeh or tofu used tastes and texture passs as meat, even my carnivorous husband agrees. The food is delicious, fresh and full of variety. We enjoyed the teriyaki bowl, and my friend, I took her for her birthday—at her request—had the gyros with gluten free wrap…she enjoyed every bite! Really wonderful service, we sat outside and people watched, in the shade. Now my husband wants to go to Earth Aloha Eats tomorrow, too.

Tyler Davis

Great dietary friendly menu, amazing service, and delicious food. I had the omakase which was creative and made me feel like I was in Japan. I also had a whole fish which they were able to make gluten free for me. It was delicious. I’d be a regular here if I lived in Maui.

Lisa C

Fabulous food! We loved all of it and they were wonderful at accommodating one of our party’s gluten allergy. I highly recommend the green curry mahi mahi!

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.

Zachary Wiles

Great fish, priced as expected. Gluten free soy sauce on hand! (Tamari) Celiac safety: I avoided the wasabi, rice and rolls, went straight for the sashimi. This always works at sushi restaurants for me.

Ron Ronald

Ok... we had amazing meals. Great service and outstanding stake.. Gluten free options available and very safe.

Virginia Campo

Cute Food truck Poke place in Hana. I appreciated they have Gluten Free poke! Pricey, but so is everything here.

Alexander Dornstauder

pretty high quality fish with very high prices and middling service at best. they have a happy hour some days. gluten free soy sauce and menu available.

Casey Fribley

We asked for gluten free California rolls (togo) and we not told of the $5 upcharge for having it gluten free. I asked for gluten free soy sauce and the service put regular soy sauce in the bag. When I got back to the hotel we realized the soy sauce was not gluten free, this could have been a disaster! This left me with zero confidence that this restaurant is gluten conscious.

Spencer Hurd

Delicious gelato, and perfect for Celiac- they only have gluten-free (warm, crispy, delicious) cones! Plus I'm extremely lactose intolerant, but every flavor is vegan! Got strawberry and matcha, and it was really delicious; the flavors were fresh and perfectly sweet, the texture was smooth and creamy, and the cones were unbeatable! Super nice service too :)

Margaret and Kevin B

Our family of four enjoyed a sunset meal at this wonderful restaurant. We made reservations on a Wednesday evening. The atmosphere was intentional with a nice mix of energy and sophistication. Our server, Braxton, provided thoughtful service being attentive to the gluten sensitivity. We chose the Mixed Grill, Blackened Ahi, Miso Butterfish and Opakapaka. The food was well prepared, plates visually appealing and portions were satisfying. The signature dishes held up to their fame. Pricing set the stage for a celebratory dinner. Certainly, would return when in the area again.

Emily Pugh

I'm a symptomatic celiac and has a great experience here. The server was really knowledgeable and shared a menu that explicitly identified the options that could be modified or were already gf. The food was great (scallops and beet salad) and they had a delicious ube shiso sorbet for dessert!

Monica Jerminario

Since we're gluten free, we only ever grab the pho. And, typically, at the KCC market since it's easier with kids. Just stopped at the restaurant for lunch on a Saturday and it was great. The broth is absolutely divine. I dream about this broth. I've tried to make broth like this and it pales in comparison (and I really know how to cook). There's some magic in the pho at P & the L and we'll keep getting it as often as we can! Even if it requires a flight from NY 👌💖

Lily Avida

Great gluten free options. The lamb chops were amazing. The owner chef used to work in Nobu and the food has Japanese cuisine with French cuisine. Fantastic food!

Seth Needles

Great place to eat. Lots of gluten-free items. Had the pineapple fried rice, and so good we came back and I got drunken noodles. Arrive early before sunset. It fills up closer to sunset and it since in a great spot to watch the sun go down! They try to position the seats for a great view.

Erica Reevey

The food was AMAZING. I have a gluten allergy and the deconstructed lobster WAS AMAZING. Ful of flavor and just the right amount of spice. Our waiter Christopher Gregory was great and had a great demeanor. We came for my husband's birthday and I will say I do feel like there could be a little celebration touch added to the experience like we've experienced at other restaurants. But, besides that overall great!

Alena Morgan

Went here for my sisters wedding rehearsal dinner. The team was so accommodating of our allergies (gluten and dairy free) and the food was great. Kimmy our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience and even gave me one of her own reusable grocery bags to help me carry our leftover wine bottles back to the hotel!

Amy Hofbauer

I said I’m gluten free and asked for rice and grilled fish of the day. This was not a problem at all here. I had ono which was delicious, very fresh tasting. Sorry for the photo. I already started eating before I took the picture

Chrystal Redding

After walking the very long way through a lava flow and passing by some amazing petroglyphs, we found our way to Sansei. It was a pleasure surprise for sure. Our waiter, Kamon (common) was very knowledgeable and had a firm grasp of the gluten free options. We had a fabulous meal. The steaks were cooked to perfection.

Sterling

Really fantastic, the Nuka bowl is so good. And some good gluten free and vegetarian options if that’s your thing

Lauren Molyneaux

A few gluten free options (knowledgeable server). I have celiac so I did not get the fries as they are in a shared frier. The fish tacos were pretty good!

Mac McCarthy (Sphyyr)

This was hands down the most memorable experience of our visit to the island. The wait staff was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating to our allergen requirements (celiac). We called ahead to book a reservation and they were able to put together a gluten free sushi offering for us with a dedicated prep station, cutlery, and rice to avoid any cross contamination. The fresh wasabi was also a delight.

Sarah Boelter

The staff knew everything about what items contained gluten. Manu items marked as GF. Very happy.

bruceall ross

Best place on the island for gluten free food....so many choices. Delicious.

Karlen Ross

I typically go to the Kapiolani location, but happened to be in Windward Mall and tried them out. They don't take reservations but it was a weekday evening and I didn't have much of a wait. Great food and lots of fun to grill your own food, and it's the only consistent gluten-free restaurant chain I can take my wife to.

C S

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.

Danielle Kitzes

The food here is as good as Nobu. The customer service was fantastic and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I found myself closing my eyes enjoying the incredible experience of every food we tried. The items I really enjoyed were the butterfish, shrimp dynamite, lobster & blue crab ravioli, bagel roll, and Hamachi crudo. They have super tasty gluten free options too! A must visit when on the island!

Christopher Chang

One of the best restaurants here in Kauai, also more expensive but well worth it. Servers are knowledgeable about Gluten allergies and will suggest things on the menu. Short ribs were real tasty. Grilled with mustard seed on top of horseradish mashed potatoes with kale and green beans in a miso sauce. My favorite meal so far! We also ordered the Ramen which is solid but have had better Ramen in the Bay Area. And we also ordered the beef Pipikaula which reminded me of a seared beef that tasted slightly aged. For dessert we order the chocolate soufflé which you can't go wrong, perfect cake exterior and a soft gooey melted center. Service is good and friendly. All around thumbs up.

Maddie Cox

All the food was phenomenal and they even have gluten free pad thai! The menu is huge with something for everyone, and the service was really fast, definitely reccomend.

Jenn & Steve GH

Very accommodating to my gluten allergy and made us special rolls tailored to what I could have. Granted they were past their dinner rush but very much appreciated and delicious!

Ronnie Yehiel

Great authentic Chinese food! Had lots of gluten free and vegetarian options. Would highly recommend:)

Sarah Sachs

Such fantastic food! We came for a friends birthday dinner and they went above and beyond. Moreover, Terri our server was outstanding. She took my gluten allergy seriously, and celebrated the occasion with us.

Don Anderson

Nicole Gorecki

We were hesitant to dine here given the mediocre reviews, but wow the food was great!! Hubby gave the pad Thai 10/10. The Thai fried rice was delicious as were the coconut shrimp. They were accommodating for our gluten free needs (Celiac) and made the Thai fried rice gluten free and their Pad Thai was gluten free at baseline. I will say they were quite pricey—$65 for 1 app, 1 adult entree and 1 kids meals, but the food was yummy and reasonable portions. We would definitely come here again!
