Top 22 Gluten-Free Dining Spots to Experience in Kapolei

Ross Mason

Not the best experience for a celiac. Some gluten free items - but no dedicated fryer.

Food, for the most part, is good. Wouldn't recommend the fish tacos, very dry, but the chicken street tacos and tortilla soup is very good. Service is good, the server was very knowledgeable. Asked about gluten-free options and let me know what options would be best.

Mina’s Fish House was a home run, pricey, but worth every penny. The service was exceptional, food was excellent, and the atmosphere was perfect with Hawaiian ocean views…what could be better!? Mina’s had plenty of gluten free options for me, which was an added surprise and plus. They even had warm bread for me delivered separately with homemade hummus. The octopus was the best I have had to date, the Marlin dip and homemade taro chips were great, and we ordered a whole fish that was perfectly deboned and served table side. To end the evening, Mina’s brought my mother who was celebrating her 80th birthday that night, a complementary dessert which made her day. If you are in Ko Olina, I highly recommend making a reservation at Mina’s. You won’t be disappointed.

PRO TIPS: before we get to the food, service and parking review-- I've been coming here to Longhi's for 10+ years just for the golden sunsets (see pic). Before it was called Longhi's, it was known as Chuck's. Surprisingly Longhi's restaurant has been open since 1976 on Maui, however this review is for the Ko Olina (Oahu) location. We actually stopped coming here years ago (when it was Chuck's) because the quality of service dropped so dramatically. However, Bob Longhi has VASTLY improved the service & created some rather delightful dishes - So it's earned a revisit. The focus here is on Italian Hawaiian fusion with incredible sunset views on the beach to add to the dinner ambiance. LOCATION--> Longhis can be found at the Marriott Vacation Club Resort. This Ko Olina resort area only has a few fine dining options so reservations are a must when you compare it with the volume of tourists here. Alternatives if Longhi's is booked include (Disney Aulani, Monkeypod or Roys). PARKING-->> Longhi's is on the Leeward (west) dry side of Oahu at Honu Lagoon, near Kapolei. Marriot Ko Olina offers valet parking that can be validated for up to three (3) hours. Be sure you get your ticket!! Alternatively, you can get free beach parking for the lagoon but it generally filled up fast. This resort is MASSIVE so make your way to the 1st floor of the resort. You will find the resort wheelchair accessible, with easy traffic flows, elevators, and attentive valet staff. If you Uber here from Honolulu, expect to pay around $70-90 depending on peak times with an estimated 30+ minute drive. CV19 COVID restrictions have been lifted here at the resort. RESERVATIONS-->> they offer breakfast, lunch and dinner. it's highly recommended you get reservations since there is a lack of fine dining options for the high volume of guests of Ko Olina. Longhi's can handle large reservations too. SERVICE-->> Vastly improved since the old days of Chuck's. We felt the aloha spirit here from check in, seating, attentive wait staff, fast drink refills to a knowledgeable waiter who made us feel like a guest in his home. It was just the right amount of time between meals where you were not waiting too long between courses. FOOD--> ITALIAN Hawaiian fusion experience is the best way to describe it. That's the differentiator for Longhi's and THEY DELIVER an amazing rainbow of flavors in your mouth. The complimentary bread with lilikoi butter starts the experience. Everything on the menu can meet your guests tastes from vegan, vegetarian to gluten free options. The kids menu will meet their restless needs. If you don't know what to order, then the macadamia encrusted anything works along with pasta shrimp or the fish of the day. Appetizers are varied based on personal tastes, however the zucchini and it's sauce (see pic) will elevate your taste buds. The crab cakes and fried calamari appetizers are delightful too for a gateway into the entree. DESSERTS-->> I'm torn here on the lava cake and ice cream. You must order this minimum 30 mins before your meal so they have time to prepare. The lava cake, while served HOT & freshly made on site, did not serve our taste buds. Our expectations was an over abundance of certain flavors based on the description however it did NOT meet our expectations.. Average lava cake at best for a 30 min pre order. Just remember to order it BEFORE your meal. HUGE wine menu and the liquor drinks are not to "syrupy" VIEWS/AMBIANCE--> TO DIE FOR. Literally. Beautiful architecture. Incredible sunset views (see the pics). Request a sunset view on the pond. AWARENESS: On Tuesdays, the Marriott Resort offers a Luau so be aware of the crowds attending the luau with it's related noise levels --this may disrupt your peace. OVERALL: thank you Longhi's for helping to fill our birthday celebration with the Aloha spirit and giving us some.wonderful tastes to remember our island trip. We will return. Mahalo!

Food took forever to come out. My chicken marsala was extremely undercooked. The gluten free bread was just plain toast. For the price it was no where near the quality. Beautiful patio thats about the only good thing. Service was friendly but slow and non attentive for a “high end” restaurant. Seemed short staffed. Everyone in my group left feeling underwhelmed.

Amanda Venturino

Delicious! The gluten free options were limiting for the members of our party, but there's always steak on the menu. It would be nice if they used gluten free soy sauce for their sauces and sushi rolls to increase variety. Overall, the food was exceptional. Not to be missed! My mom raved about the ribeye and said the chocolate lava cake was amazing. They bake it fresh as you order it. The drinks were full sized and delicious! Excellent mai tai! I had the crispy pork 3 ways with the mac and cheese.

Wow! It was incredible! There was SO much for the kiddos to do! The food was DELICIOUS! My daughter has celiac and she was able to eat a majority of everything there!! They are SO accommodating 🙌🙌🙌 We even got some amazing pictures with the performers at the end!!!

Definitely no Gluten Free friendly! Im allergic to Gluten, not bad like Celiac disease but I do end up looking like Hitch in the movie when he had his reaction. I had the Thai Lettuce wraps, and boy did I pay the price The next day!The sauces have gluten. So now I look like Quasimodo 😞 My hubby's Fish Tacos tortilla didn't taste like OG Corn tortillas, so I did a little research when I got home, turns out there is flour in their corn tortillas, and also their corn chips are dusted with flour . Also their artichoke dip has soy sauce which has gluten. Gluten allergies are a serious concern. My friend and her 2 kids ended up in the hospital because the paper take out containers had gluten! Not from this establishment but, just sharing to show how serious Gluten allergies are. I used to love Cheesecake Factory, but now that I have developed allergies I don't think it's something my health can afford to gamble with. There should be some guidelines to alert us about things we assume are gluten free, like corn tortillas or lettuce wraps. Besides that, the service was great!

They have a ton of gluten free options. They do give pita bread with salads but it is in a separate bag and doesn’t touch the food. I’m sure you can ask for none (I always just gave it to my family members lmao)

Lucy Kemp

We absolutely loved our dinner here. Incredible food, fantastic service and our waiter was so helpful with gluten-free requirements. We will be back!

Excellent food, great value for feeding a large crowd. Very accommodating and did a great job of making sure those in our party with gluten allergies were well fed.

The service was out of this world. The food almost as good. I ordered a omelette with bacon and cheese with potatoes. Gluten free options are available and staff is knowledgeable.

As a celiac, I drove out of the way to get some rice noodles. I assumed the Pad Thai would be gluten free. Turns out it wasn’t until I had a few bites and asked. The staff and owner were so great. I felt so bad because I should have asked first which is my fault. They went above and beyond and made the gluten free version for me even though me not asking was my fault. Made my day. Great tasting and great sized portions. I highly recommend this place if you are hungry for some Thai food!
