You can choose as you like. You can also order your favorite burger. This time I made a gluten-free teriyaki burger 🍔🍟🥤 You can also choose how well the patty is cooked. If you don't like red, try medium rare. Because it's quite rare Well done might be fine! The shake is not sweet either And above all, the staff Extremely kind We shared one burger. They cut it neatly and divided it into pieces. Are you okay forever? Are you okay? delicious? Can you go? He asked me 😊 Potato 🍟 is also super delicious 🍟

This is a chain store you'll want to stop by when you come to America. We have gluten-free pizza! You can choose the dough, but there are gluten-free options, and the menu is limited, such as pepperoni and margherita, but you can make them gluten-free. It's hearty and really delicious. I really feel like I've come to America. My family is gluten-free, so I'm very grateful. The mozzarella cheese in the Margherita was creamy and delicious. The staff will add cheese right in front of you. I visited this store in Kahala Mall in the evening. It said you could take it home for $10.

Customer Service/Experience: One of the first things we noticed was the stunning lobby decor and the wave of fragrant plumerias that invaded our nostrils when we walked up to the doors. WOW! We went to the hostess stand and I mentioned we booked with Open Table....turns out the reservation was for the following day (UGH!) BUT she happily updated it and made accomodations for us - so sweet!!! We were very pleased with the level of customer service and it continued throughout our meal. Vibe: I took some photos of the food we ate, but the light was too dim for the pics to do the food any justice, so I'm not going to post them. Even without the photos - trust me: THIS IS IT. The atmosphere was casual and laid back, but romantic. The views of the beach at sunset were stunning and I doubt you'll find a better spot to dine steps from the sand in such a peaceful setting. The plumerias were scattered along the grass near the sand and the whole thing looked straight out of a movie set. Food: The Fried Ahi Poke Musubi was out of this world - huge and probably too much for just 2 people but we ate it anyway! It was the perfect marriage of crispy rice, seasoned tuna and umami seaweed... you HAVE to try it if it's on the menu! Hubby got the The Kahala Burger and said it was Top 3 of the best burgers he's ever had (and he's had a lot!). I tried the Crispy Wok Fried Prawns with Chicken-Fat rice. Both were great, but the prawns were best! I was also SUPER IMPRESSED and thankful that Plumeria Beach House took the time to designate the items on their menu that were dairy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free. That is such a thoughtful detail and as a guest who is dairy-free, I appreciated knowing up front what my food options were. Bravo and kudos to whomever decided to do the menu that way. This was maybe our best night in Oahu and if you're staying on the island you absolutely should book a dinner at Plumeria Beach House to see why they're consistently rated one of the top spots.

We really enjoyed Et Al. The service was 5/5!!! I got the Kamakua mushroom risotto and had them make it gluten free with added chicken. It was good! The chicken was definitely dry though. My boyfriend got the burger and he really liked it!! I like that it’s inside a supermarket. Really nice atmosphere and ambience, reasonable prices.

Great food and very good service. The server was very well versed with gluten friendly options for my husband which was very comforting. Menu options were creative and tasty. Will definitely be going back again hopefully soon! Chef Keaka is community oriented and came to Kahala Elementary to do a chef visit/demonstration for our daughter’s class.
