Top 50 Gluten-Free Places Across Honolulu for Night Owls

Stacey Mehl

After 2 days of hardly finding any gf food to eat, I found this place and it was SO delicious!!! I ordered a veggie omelet and gf pancakes and I almost cried it was so flavorful and filling. Absolutely fantastic.

Nicolette Shipley

Great gluten free burgers and buns. I use to love to go here for the dedicated gluten free fryer. However, on my last visit, that changed. The fries are now made in a shared fryer. But the burgers, wings and salads are amazing!

Laura Foster

Lots of gluten free options and the food was fabulous

Love this place. Plenty of good gluten free options that are clearly labeled on the menu. The macadamia crusted mahi is amazing and so is the chowder. On my last visit, they had a promotion where they would match up to $50 off your meal if you donated to the Hawaii food bank.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at P.F. Chang’s Honolulu thanks to our amazing waitress, Carlie. My son has celiac disease and has to eat strictly gluten free, which can often make dining out stressful and difficult. Carlie went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and taken care of. She was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options, especially for kids. Her kindness, patience, and attentiveness truly made our meal enjoyable and stress-free.

If I could do negative stars, I would. Story time. Husband & I chose this place for the gluten free burger bun option. We went to a previous restaurant that we thought was GF, it was unfortunately not. Husband already ordered/recieved his food to go. We explained this to the host & asked permission to bring husband's food in so that I could order and eat with him - THE HOST AGREED AND SAT US! We were then harassed by both the sever & manager seperately about the outside food. We explained to them both we were here for the gluten free option, and husband would order drink(s) ect. Didn't stop the manager from being rude to us AFTER we already explained our situation and were seated without resistance. As someone who worked in the restaurant industry for 10+ years, I was appalled. Train your staff better; don't agree to seat customers who are being transparent and then harass them anyways. Don't spend your money here.

We ate here on two different nights. Tristan and Zac were our servers and helped us navigate gluten-free options. They were both excellent and did a great job.

Christine Smith

Gluten free pancakes were amazing, great service too!

Kelly Johnson

Gluten free and delicious!

Jess Gunn

Absolutely loved our meal here! I have celiac disease and our server Nico was extremely knowledgeable about options that would be safe for me. I got the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and it was devine! I would highly recommend dining here, especially if you are celiac or gluten intolerant!

July 2023 I made a reservation for 6pm on my honeymoon. ◯Meat For my main dish, I chose Porterhouse steak. During my stay, I went to another famous steak restaurant, and the meat at Ruth's was not only delicious, but the seasoning was relatively well-seasoned, and I could feel the restaurant's commitment to it. ◯Service The inside of the store has a calm atmosphere and a special feeling. We prepared a plate to celebrate our honeymoon. A separate gluten-free menu was available. It is also recommended for people with wheat allergies.

Christina Hollingsworth

It's so hard to find a great pizza place that also offers a gluten free crust alternative that also tastes amazing! It's incredibly tasty and has the perfect crunch. Even my non gluten free family members loved the cauliflower crust. Also- the Kale salad is one of the best salads I've ever had. I love salads, but somehow this one took kale (which can be hot or miss) to the next level. The service was amazing - both times we came here. Highly recommend for everyone.

Deb Burton

Delicious I had Siam Jungle Curry and my husband had the pineapple fried rice. He celiac and they had lots of choices. We both enjoyed the spring rolls. They substituted the dipping sauce for my husband.

Jay Fallick

Lacking Gluten Free options. Get with the times 604! No GF bread, no corn chips, no corn tortillas, no dedicated fries, and no GF pasta. Celiacs are no longer stuck with reataurants who just want to offer salad or burgers with no bun. It isn't hard to accommodate and isn't expensive. Had GF waffles, muffins, and bread at Four Seasons and then came here - sad.

Connie Simila

I expected to spend a lot and leave hungry. I was so wrong! The vegan gluten free rolls we ordered were exquisite. We ordered three gluten free sushi rolls and one with gluten (husband is okay with it) and took half back to hotel. Staff is very knowledgeable about celiac’s and sensitivities.

Alyssa Siddiqui

Celebrated our anniversary here and Roy’s was lovely. The food is was amazing, as well as the service. Made reservations, as most places in Honolulu need a reservation to get in and there was a slight wait to our table. The misoyaki butterfish was succulent and delicious. The carpaccio, tataki, and poke was refreshing. They were able to accommodate our dietary needs for gluten free. Keep room for desserts at the end. They also gave us ice cream at the end for our celebration.

Camelia

Everyone in our party loved their food. The waiter and kitchen were super accommodating with those at our table who needed gluten free options. The area is lively and fun. Definitely recommend!

We have loved coming to Duke’s for years. Our family of 11 made reservations and I was skeptical I would be able to find anything to eat with them because my baby has a ton of food allergies. Thankfully I brought her own food, but was still amazed I could find anything for myself to eat that was dairy free, egg free, gluten free, nut free… Fiodor, I hope I am spelling his name right, is incredible. He was incredibly patient with me and helped me find something to eat. His whole service was amazing! I got the ahi with gluten free shoyu and white rice substituted. It tasted incredible! Instead of ordering something bland with all the sauces removed I got a very tasty meal. I was very thankful for that. The negative is for $49 it was only three small pieces of ahi. While I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was really hungry by the time we got home. For $49 you should really not go away hungry. The other dishes had plenty of food. Duke’s and really all of Waikiki has gotten so expensive though and they seem to have removed more affordable options from the menu. My cousin was bragging about the burgers and brown lager and neither are on the menu anymore. His prime rib was good, but really lean, not much fat. My husband’s huli huli chicken was fine, nothing special, but $30 something. The hula pie is to die for though. I went for a walk on the beach while they enjoyed their pie and get a break from the noise. It is very noisy under the roof area and with the loud music. It is way less noisy if you can sit in the lower outdoor area with no roof. Not sure how to get reservations down there. We have never gotten the privilege to eat in that area. Of course it is a breathtaking setting. We would go again for lunch or if the food at that price were more worth it or if they expanded their menu. The quality is fine, but not worth it at that price point. You are paying to sit on Waikiki and if that is worth it then go for it.

Brady Lucas

Great atmosphere and options for food. Casual dining experience with live music. Cauliflower crust is a great option for gluten free needs. Got the brewmaster and the Hunter. Both were unique pizzas with great taste.

Alexander Dornstauder

pretty high quality fish with very high prices and middling service at best. they have a happy hour some days. gluten free soy sauce and menu available.

Cole Sandberg

From someone who NEVER writes reviews... When you pair great taste with a waiter who was on top of his game, It makes for a great meal and what would be our normal go to for dinner out if we were locals! The great service started with Tony being extremely knowledgeable of celiac disease to the point of understanding cross contamination and being able to tell us which foods to avoid because of it! Not something we're used to back home. We ordered the Guava BBQ St Louis style ribs. They substituted the fries for garlic mashed without us even having to ask. The flavor of this sauce if you love a sweet sauce this one has an amazing flavor and has no spice/kick to it. Unfortunately the rack that was brought wasn't the greatest of quality of meat. We didn't ask for or expect anything to be done, we even turned down the replacement that was offered. Before we knew it, either the owner or manager was at the table insisting on making up for the toughness of the ribs. He had another half rack brought out and they were amazing.

Monica Jerminario

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 👌💖

Bridget Thorp

We were already excited about this resteraunt for the food, but it was the service that really blew us away. We had a few dietary restrictions in our group and they were wickedly accommodating, bringing a number of alternatives for our gluten free member and triple checking dishes for the mint. Chris was friendly and attentive and knew so much. Definitely go for the fish and specials, but we loved everything. Thanks for a wonderful Anniversary, Fete!

I came to the store on the bus number 2 after KCC market on Saturday. It was crowded with locals and tourists from mainland America, but we were able to be guided right away. The staff worked very efficiently, and everyone was friendly and nice! The breakfast menu is very different from Denny's in Japan. This chain store is very nostalgic for people who have studied abroad in the United States. Overall, the menu is hearty, but for those over 55 years old, there is a menu with slightly smaller portions. There is also a gluten-free menu. I-Hop has gluten-free pancakes, but Denny's doesn't have gluten-free pancakes. I'm just grateful that it's displayed. The egg scramble had lots of cheese and was delicious. Of course you can get refills of hot coffee. The restroom was also clean and I used it.

Arlo Adams

A real tasty, classy place. Had some business in Chinatown, finished early and decided to stop in for a drink and a pupu which became a couple drinks and a 4 course dinner. What a treat. Our server Desmond, was most attentive and helpful, it was fun eating in the atrium of the Tower and the food was oh so good. The menu included good gluten free options, both in number and taste. Felt like a European eating experience, will return with guests for sure.

Sarah Boelter

The staff knew everything about what items contained gluten. Manu items marked as GF. Very happy.

Denisse Fierro Arcos

I went to this restaurant with some colleagues for dinner. I had the local catch with Peruvian aji and it was amazing. Hands down the best meal I had while in Honolulu. One of my colleagues is gluten intolerant and they were able to accommodate her too. Definitely recommend it.

**California Pizza Kitchen - Honolulu, Hawaii: A Surprising Disappointment** As frequent travelers, California Pizza Kitchen has always been a reliable go-to for us, especially since my wife is gluten-sensitive. Their gluten-free pizza options and fresh, creative salads have consistently made CPK a staple in our dining routine. However, our recent visit to the Honolulu location was the first time we left feeling less than satisfied. We were initially excited, as this stop at CPK has always been a highlight when traveling. The ambiance was as welcoming as ever, with the familiar open-kitchen vibe and friendly staff. We started with a salad, which was fresh and flavorful, just as we remembered. Unfortunately, the main event—the gluten-free pizza—didn’t live up to our expectations this time around. The gluten-free crust, usually a reliable choice, was lackluster, bordering on soggy rather than the crisp, light texture we've come to expect. The toppings, which are typically vibrant and full of flavor, seemed unevenly distributed and lacked the usual freshness. The overall experience with the pizza left us disappointed, especially given how consistent CPK has been for us in the past. To make matters worse, our order of **Buffalo Cauliflower** came out with only two small pieces of cauliflower on the plate. We immediately let our server know, and while she quickly apologized and took the dish back to the kitchen to be fixed, it was concerning that such an obvious mistake wasn’t caught before it reached our table. The dish was corrected, but it left us questioning the attention to detail in the kitchen. The manager did come by to address the issue, but his explanation was less than satisfying. He mentioned that they portion everything by weight, but when I asked how two tiny pieces could possibly meet their portion standards, he was unable to provide a clear answer. It felt more like an excuse than a genuine attempt to rectify the situation. It's worth noting that the service remained attentive, and the salad was still a hit, which helped salvage the experience somewhat. However, given how important the gluten-free pizza is for us, this visit fell short of the standard that CPK has set in our minds. We hope this was just an off night for the kitchen, as we've always held CPK in high regard. We’ll likely give it another chance on future trips, but this visit left us wishing for the consistency and quality we’ve come to associate with California Pizza Kitchen.

Overall the food and drinks were terrible. Bonus there is a gluten free burger and fries, don't get too excited, it was served on a dry bun (that fell apart when I picked it up for the first bite) with flavorless meat and brisket and no sauce offered. Their usual sauce is BBQ and not GF so I had to flag down the server for some mayo at least. Atmosphere was busy and there is a beautiful view but also birds pooping above us on the umbrellas and tables/chairs. Server was friendly. Mojito was terrible. Overpriced because of location. 0/10 would not recommend.

Da Spot is a hidden gem in town. It has delicious, healthy affordable dishes at fast "junk" food prices and speed. The portions are plentiful so even a $6 mini plate will likely fill you up. Regular plates are $8 and combos (choice of 2 entrees) are only a couple of bucks more (same or less than McD combo meals). Plates include rice and salad or you can get all rice or all salad. Meals are very good and include lots of gluten-free and vegan options. Yummy chicken, fish, lamb, and beef with healthy veggies, herbs, and sauces -- all ready to eat in or take out. Made-to-order gyros are available too. Tastes are from around the world -- Egyptian, Moroccan, Thai, Greek, etc. -- so there is something for everyone. The baklava is a great way to top off your meal for only $1.50. The smoothies ($3 small, $5 large) are incredible too and about half the price of Lanikai Juice or similar places. There's plenty of room to eat in the dining area and parking is available in the restaurant's reserved lot around the corner or in the Longs lot across the street.

Shane Gault

Totally amazing food, HIGH Quality ingredients. And their flower is from Japan in a completely different gluten. So if you have a gluten allergy, you may can eat the udon noodles and be perfectly fine. Amazing amazing. Amazing! Delicious so good I wanna go back.!

Rebecca Pell

Delicious! Great vegetarian and gluten free options (I hope they try to make gluten free pita in the future!). Professional and friendly staff. Sit outside for a nice breeze.

Cortney Sanders

Great place. Wish there were some gluten free options. But perfect way to start the day in Oahu

Joseph Wheeler

They have separate vegan and gluten free menus that were super helpful. Lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and quick service.

Sue Nelson

Ok, people. I haven’t had a legit burger in 14 YEARS! I am HIGHLY sensitive to gluten, which makes it tricky when I’m on vacation. Who knew I’d find the best gf burger EVER right here in Waikiki Beach? The staff was attentive, willing to explain what was safe, and I felt like they went the extra mile for me. I can almost guarantee unless I’m eating in a gf designated facility, the risk of cross-contamination, especially in a fast food joint, is high for me and not worth the risk. I am so grateful we took a chance on Teddy’s Bigger Burgers! (The gf bun was the best I’ve had.) My husband, who does not eat gf, ordered the Hawaiian burger, and he loved it! I ordered the volcano burger. YUM! We’ll be back! Skip the fries as they don’t have a designated fryer. The shakes looked amazing if you’d like one of those.).

Sara Scanlan

Great comfort food with several delicious gluten-free options. The pork chops!

Colin Chase

It was so amazing!!! Highly recommend for anyone thats loves shabu. They were also very accommodating to my gluten free wife.

Kashief Lane

What more can I say!? Mahalo! Banyan's Island Grill is so good! Had the Arakawa Fish Sandwich and the Hawaiian Chicken BBQ Plate! They were very nice when it came to Mother In Laws Celiac Disease and tried their best to accommodate her! Just be careful that delicious salad dressing has gluten in it~! Mahalo! E hele hou mai kākou!

Stokeley Hochhalter

Vegan and gluten free food and alcohol options. Host was knowledge and very sweet.

Shan Sultan

Proper gluten free authentic spot

Kage Gill

Taking a walk. Stummbled upon this grill. Had to try it. They catered to my gluten / dairy allergies

Murat Demirtas

Fantastic place to drink coffee and eat, they have gluten free and vegan options, so hard to find, staff is nice and friendly and owner Liz is so nice, love her. My new place. Thank you guys. Murat Demirtas

Amy

Delicious food and drinks! The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere here were great! We both enjoyed our meals and the server was so knowledgable about gluten free. We loved the tiki bar atmosphere and wish we could have come back for another meal!

Jonelle Miller

Incredible service and food. Waiter was extremely patient and helpful providing me with several gluten free options. Highly recommend!

Karlen Ross

This particular location of Gyu-Kaku is my favorite because in addition to always having great service and easy parking, they have several tables that comfortably seat 6. Most of the menu is delicious and Gluten-Free,plus the prices are amazing if you eat during their many happy hours.

Aundrea

Very good sushi! Happy hour was fantastic with may choices!! As someone who is gluten free that says something. Although I will add, I didn't ask for gf says sauce so I'm not sure if that is a option. But the service was great. There is a parking garage right next to them that will valet park..but if it is busy dinner time, it may be full.

Keegan Caraway

Great food, great staff and a great little gluten-free menu. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for good food and sake, and they accommodated a gluten-free allergy. Well highly recommend!

Alexandra Iwaszewicz

Lovely location with a great ambience. We loved all of our food. Apps: octopus and tuna tacos. Everything was delicious. We also ordered salmon (fantastic green curry sauce), the tuna, lobster roll, and black cod. The kitchen was also incredibly accommodating as we had someone with a high gluten intolerance. They served all the sauces on the side. Stefan was the best waiter and always ensured that we were doing well. Loved the service and entire vibe of this place. Photos are of the tuna and cod.

McKenzie Calvert

THE BEST GLUTEN FREE BURGER AND FRIES ON THE ISLAND!! I was so excited to hear only the French fries go in the fryer and they are pure potatoes! As someone with a shellfish allergy it was so hard to find French fries I could eat this week that didn’t share a fryer with shrimp. I added grilled pineapple to my lettuce wrapped burger and it was SOOO good!
