Top 32 Gluten-Free Kid-Friendly Spots to Explore in Lihue

Dave Whitaker

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

Nanette Gefreh

Wonderful choices for gluten-free. My family each ordered something different, and we were all delighted with our meal!

Christopher Bohlin

Owner is very considerate and accommodating of dietary restrictions (gluten free, IBS, etc)

Amber Turkin

Talk about top tier service! Our waitress was SO friendly and knowledgeable! She made great recommendations and shared so much about the different dishes. The kitchen was super accommodating to both gluten and nut allergies. Our party of four all loved our meals (I got the pesto GF with shrimp!). We had just gotten off a long flight and this was the perfect spot to visit first, as we felt very welcomed. Would definitely recommend stopping in if you’re looking for something filling and delicious!

Megan Thiessen

Reservations were recommended but we had no wait, arriving around 4:30pm. The staff was incredibly friendly, drinks and appetizers were served promptly, and every dish ordered was cooked to perfection. One of our party has Celiac disease/wheat allergy and the server was knowledgeable about every item on the menu, making this experience safe for her. Highly recommend.

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!

Stuart Crane

Was just there with my wife who is gluten free. She had the Hawaiian pizza and said it was one of the best pizzas ever! I myself had a regular pepperoni and sausage pizza. Really good wood fired crust. Would definitely go back!

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!

Allison Henderson

Delicious food and lots of gluten-free options! Food is all takeout, but there’s a nice covered eating area in the courtyard near the place. The food was very tasty, and the staff was so friendly.

Gluten Free banana Bread is sooooo amazing!! Worth the trip!!

A Bradley

Don’t waste your time or money. They do not have Gluten Free pizza as advertised. We ordered a salad to go and it took one hour to prepare after they forgot to put in our order with the kitchen. The salad was not a dinner size salad, it was a side salad size with dry and grey chicken. Although they apologized for the wait, the food did not make up for the wait. You’re better off not even giving it a try.

Miriam Karell

This is the BEST place in Kauai! We LOVE their açaí bowls! Fresh, locally sourced ingredients and friendly staff. You can feel the love in the food! Amazing place not to miss! Good for people who need gluten free, low sugar and non dairy options.

Katie Wellbrook

Spicy shrimp don is amazing and a great gluten free option. Cheap lunch, fresh seafood and quick service. Highly recommended

Spencer Spencer

This place is the middle of the industrial area, not expected for the food they turn out. There was not a lot of gluten free items on the menu to chose from (too much soy sauce on this island), but I asked and they were able to adjust a dish. They made me some grilled mahi mahi, rice, and veggies. It was wonderful and one of the few places I felt like the portion matched to he price. Great people and great food

Rani Calderon

Thank you for having great tasting gluten-free options. It is difficult to travel with celiac disease.

Alyssa Freund

Very good local poke place, everything was fresh and flavorful. They were very helpful with recommending things for my gluten allergy. Good portion for the price too. The toppings are pay by weight.

Heather Raymond

Huge portions, amazing food, nice sit down restaurant, kid friendly, and gluten free options! I had leftovers for two meals. The only odd thing was the location of the bathrooms which are through the kitchen to the very back.

Stevie Murdock

We’ve eaten here two days in a row now. The food is amazing, especially for someone gluten and dairy free. My kids begged for it this morning. Delicious, refreshing, and filling! Highly recommend stopping by this cute little truck!

emi booth

I was very pleasantly surprised with the food here! We needed some food after our flight and the service here was quick! Plates came with a lot of food and was SO good. I'm also gluten free and while there wasn't a dedicated menu, there was plenty of GF options

Kevin “BigDawg” Lawless

We had a very nice lunch at Gaylords. We required gluten-free options and they amended the fish taco to include a salad instead of the fries (non-dedicated fryer). The Hostess and our server were both pleasant and friendly. Service was good. We actually attended Gaylords specifically to have the gluten-free banana cream pie. It has a coconut crust and is “to die for”! We met the lovely lady who is their pastry chef. She gave us tips on how to make this incredible pie at home. All-in-all, a lovely experience in a beautiful location.

Delanie Vasil

Limited gluten free options but the crab stuffed ahi was incredible.

Shelby Jaques

Great shop and amazing people, fun games to play on table, gluten-free items, food was good but limited.

Ben Collier

Excellent Cajun Fish Tacos. Not many gluten free options but the wait staff did a great job creating options

C Johnson

Awesome spot to grab good coffee and espresso bowls. I have a weird allergy to gluten free granola and totally spaced on asking them to leave off, they immediately made another bowl, no questions asked. Awesome people and great food/coffee

lindsey3306

Offers gluten free and vegetarian options - husband said the steak was worth the price and he's super picky

Niamh Cannon

We stopped here for lunch and it was delicious! The people were very kind and helpful. One person in our group has Celiacs and was able to happily eat the Mahi Mahi lunch plate! I had the grilled pineapple teriyaki burger and it was fantastic! Crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, a slice of pineapple, and plenty of sauce!

Louis B

Don't miss this place, if only for the experience! Fun and friendly and a great variety of coffee and other beverages. Vegan, gluten-free, organic, non-dairy, etc. Pretty much have something for everyone. Unfortunately, both my wife and I had the same thing (don't even remember what) with the exception that she had coconut milk, and it was just ordinary. It was a specialty drink, it just didn't feel that special. Anyway, don't miss this place, you'll definitely have fun!

Kathleen Hammond

We both had the breakfast special..our server was great at knowing what was gluten free. Everything from sitting at the table, getting our food and paying was so efficient... something I truly appreciate!

Miranda Smith

Great gluten free options! Awesome service & very accommodating! We will be back again.

Locally owned Chinese and BBQ. Ordered a delicious lunch for three of us. One has allergies to dairy and milk, and owners recommended BBQ chicken with rice and kimchee. Another has a gluten and spice issue, so they recommended grilled sea bass with lemon grass, rice, and fresh salad. Third person had garlic chicken. It is breaded and fried; it is tasty and fresh. Everything was made from scratch and ready in 15 minutes. Great for dining in or taking out. Variety of menu items. Lots of locals are frequent patrons. Owners have been there since 1999.
