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 👌💖

Just across the street of my hotel, I found this little jewel of plant based deliciousness. I had the spinach dhal, a salad and a handful falafels. All that for only $13.50. Friendly staff and great music. Lots of choices and all plant based. The majority of dishes were Gluten Free. Will be back, for sure.

My new favorite Thai restaurant!! Most delicious of any I’ve been to. Love the atmosphere, with all seating outside. Very accommodating and able to make lots of dishes vegan, if not already (some have fish sauce.) Appreciate the clear labeling on the menu for vegan and gluten free. Big portions! We had to wait for a table for lunch, Fri at 1. So might be a good idea to make reservations.

This is a happy, delicious atmosphere. The owner is skilled in her craft. The cortadito came in a little silver mug, perfect presentation. The gluten free muffin & banana bread were yummy.

I have allergies to gluten and dairy and called to make sure there were options. There was some uncertainty when i arrived with my friend, but thankfully they were not too busy yet and were able to take a little extra time to accommodate my allergies. I ordered a BALT sandwich with GF bread and they placed it on wax paper before pressing it on the grill. Turned out great! Also got a coffee with oatmilk. Will be back.

Make sure you try the crème brulee! The hot dogs were so good but the pineapple slushies and crème brulee were the best part. Would not recommend for people with gluten intolerance because all the foods are fried together.

This was my go to coffee/breakfast place in Oahu. The owners are always kind and represent the Aloha spirit very well. Food is quality with vegetarian & gluten free options. They have specialty coffee that if you’ve never tried before you’re in good hands here if you want to give it a shot.

Food: Good portions for a good price. The menu’s 100% vegan, and all their meat substitutions are gluten free. I had the BBQ chicken platter, which was a delicious helping of ‘chicken’, salad, and Mac’nCheese. On the side, I drank a tasty pipeline paradise smoothie and some soft serve. Only distraction is the dessert was a little too sweet. Speaking of sweets, they sell daily-made cookies and doughnuts. Service: the food came quick and they made the chicken extra spicy just for me. Since they don’t have a bathroom, I used the one at a cafe across the street. Atmosphere: a quaint little restaurant with limited seating outside and interior perimeter. They pump Reggae over the speakers to put everyone at ease.

The best vegan Asian restaurant on Oahu. Legit vegan Vietnamese that makes me happy to eat the food of my childhood without the meat. Legit experience too. One of my go to places on Oahu. FYI, most items are gluten free (rice and soy being predominant ingredients) except for spring rolls. Parking is a butt. I try to park at public paid lots because street parking is hard to find.

My son and his wife flew in for a visit from the mainland. His first request from the airport is always to satisfy his Poke fix. Obviously, Oahu has an abundance of poke shops to satisfy everyone’s taste. This was his first visit to Kahiau and they hit it out of the park! If you’re looking for a gluten-free option, try there ginger onion version. They’re dried Aku is amazing as well. The best thing about them is the staff. In today’s hectic time, it’s nice to see a smiling face and hear a Mahalo for coming! Get there before 2pm (closing time).
