Food is always excellent, as is the service. The owner seems to take great pride in her restaurant. She's almost always there, and greeting and checking in with guests personally. I love the unexpected options for someone with celiac disease.
With fresh offerings, great vibes, and easy parking, this spot is a must-visit for a chill hangout and good tunes.

Outstanding! Food was fresh and well cooked. My wife says the gluten free bread is the best. Coffee was good. Friendly people and atmosphere. Good music. Parking was easy to find.We will seek this place out on our next California trip.
Fresh ingredients and vibrant herbs create a flavorful experience that's kept locals coming back for years.

This place has been a go to for years because they have such fresh ingredients. They use a ton of herbs as well. Everything has a lot of flavors and you can get gluten/vegan/veg options. Plus, if you go in to eat they are very kind and attentive.
Experience a taste of the Hawaiian islands with vibrant dishes, stunning presentations, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that you'll want to revisit.

Pono Pacific Kitchen is one of the best restaurants we have here on the Central Coast. The dishes are expertly prepared, with well thought out flavors & the freshest of ingredients. We came for our daughter's birthday, the staff made us feel so welcome. I ordered the garlic shrimp which was clearly marked as a gluten free option & it was amazing! My husband, daughter's partner & youngest son ordered the lamb chops & the owner took the time to greet us & inform us the lamb was not going to be on the menu any longer. I found this to be thoughtful info as they really enjoyed the dish & would have wanted to order it again. Our daughter had the short ribs...omg this was melt in your mouth perfect & the truffled au gratin potato side dish paired perfectly. Our middle son had the butterfish & said it was incredible...must have been since he didn't share a bite! I have been thinking about this meal for days...we will be back for our next date night. We're just so pleased there is a place in our tiny town that will transport your senses to the Hawaiian islands all complete with Aloha from the staff 🌺
Best sushi place in five cities. Steve is the nicest chef! I've known him for over 10 years. He has always taken care of my allergies I'm grateful that he has gluten-free tempura so I can enjoy it the best rolls that he make
Celiac friendly
