Top 11 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Enjoy in Hanalei

Aidan S

We came to this restaurant excited for the food based off recommendations from online and gluten free forums. My wife has celiac and we made that clear with our waitress Sarah. Sarah was kind to us but was a little slow on service even though it didn't seem incredibly busy. We waited about 5-10 minutes to get seated and then another 5-10 minutes to get water and menus. Then we waited about 20 minutes before our order was taken and drinks refilled. Sarah was knowledgeable about the menu and provided some recommendations which we trusted. I got the Zesty Coconut Catch and my wife ordered the Soy Wasabi Local Catch gluten free. The food took about 10-15 to get to our table but the lady running it gave it to the table next to us first and then to us. The food was superbly mediocre. Not great not bad. Super dissapointing to spend $100 on food that wasn't good. The only thing I have to compliment is the fish was cooked well. Overall not a bad place but super dissapointed at the quality for the price.

Celiac accommodating

Pizza was great, however 1 person was celiac and assured some precautions are taken and they were not and she got very ill.

All the meats are gluten-free & Food is delicious! Best barbecue and chili 😁

We had the Coconut Shrimp Curry and the Fish Curry, both of which were excellent. The hummus naan was also delicious, and it was a generous portion size. Both curries were gluten-free, but unfortunately the rumors about gluten-free naan are false. Overall, the food was awesome and the staff was friendly. Thank you!

We were so impressed with this place. The poke is delicious and it was awesome to have the option for gluten free. We ordered four different options on two visits and all were great but the Hanalei Special was our absolute favorite.

Highly recommended. The service was fantastic and the food was both innovative and delicious. We will definitely return! The menu is well-thought-out and caters to everyone, with options for seafood, meat, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free diets.

They do have gluten free options and the server took great care to ensure all the food was gluten free! My wife’s food was not gluten free as you can see by the photo 😂

The food was so good as a Gluten Free person I thought the food was extremely good. The man at the counter was so nice and the food came out quickly. I would definitely go here next time. I really liked the Thai iced tea it was awesome. It was easily the best food truck In the plaza. The mango rice was on point. The atmosphere was very cool. I loved this place. Would recommend!

I loved this spot very much. I’m celiac and vegetarian and finding a good, filling breakfast can be difficult. This place rocked if you’re looking for a refreshing but filling morning meal! I got the good times bowl and ice matcha and was savoring every bite. One of the best açaí bowls I’ve ever had.

I LOVE Mexican and Tex-Mex foods. When my husband and I were at some sort of night market in this shopping center, although I wasn't hungry at the time, we decided we'd come back and try this place. Ended up here right as the opened with only one guy in front of me. I ordered the Fat Mama with beef as a gluten free burrito bowl for $16 and a lilikoi agua fresca for $6. My husband was so annoyed when he checked the receipt on his phone and noticed they charged an undisclosed 3% credit card fee. Places that charge fees when they're benefiting as a business from not having to carry and secure large amounts of cash, do less bank runs and have higher sales because people can use cards, can kick rocks. The food was completely underseasoned and I told my husband he could have the rest. It barely had any lettuce for a bowl - it was like one leaf deep on 1 third of the top of a bowl full of gummy rice. The agua fresca was also bland. Would not recommend. Visited: January 2023

Da Fazenda slaps. Lots of different great flavors on the combo plate, and a lot of protein to get you full. We shared a combo plate and a side of 3 pao de queijo (gluten free cheese bread) and were stuffed. For $31 it was a great value for 2 people. Side of salsa was crackin too. Go here

ANYONE WITH ALLERGIES SHOULD AVOID THIS PLACE I'll start by saying the waitress was very nice. That is about where the good things ended for me. I ordered an old fashioned which came watered down and with orange juice in it??? My mistake for not ordering a drink off the 6 drink menu... Then I ate half of the Taro Burger which says gluten free on the menu. It turns out they are ONLY REFERRING TO THE PATTY and the bun is SUPPOSED to be a regular bun full of gluten. Labeling something gluten free is irrelevant if other ingredients in the item contains gluten. Luckily I only get a migraine the next day, but who knows what other allergens they could be doing this with. The nearest Hospital is an hour away and this restaurants practices could be serious for someone else with serious allergies. To top it off they gave our desert to a different table which they claimed was the last one. To be fair, they comped a couple of our drinks and said they were "very busy" but the hostess was on her phone the whole time. We bought a CD from the musician and left the waitress a good tip because she seemed stressed, but this was overall a terrible dining experience and we drove the extra 15 minutes into Hanalei where there was great food/service for the rest of the trip

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.

They don't have tacos but dishes consisting of rice, a side dish of your choice and a main protein. Good and gluten-free garlic shrimp, very spicy kimchi

Pam Wink

The food was good- and the portions were generous. Lots of big chunks of meat and vegetables. They were so good about the spicing my food myself. I’m gluten free and they definitely had good Thai options though I wouldn’t recommend if you’re celiac. You order at the counter and get a pager. Pick up and clean up after yourself.

Avoid! Extremely rude! My wife and daughter attempted to ask about gluten free. Our daughter has celiac. The man they spoke with insulted them and spoke harshly to them.

Linda Foulger

Coffee is $2 with a free refill! Bargain for Kauai! We had a sandwich and there's a choice of breads including gluten-free for those intolerant. Servers are nippy and good-natured. The menu looks great - I wish we could have stayed for dinner, everything coming past us looked delicious. Get a table outside on the boardwalk.

Lynn Peterson

Outstanding bc I could eat REALLY delicious gluten free lunch here including potatoes as my carb with witchingly delicious sauce!!! So good!!! Prices reasonable!
