First the bad: We had a server who was new and when I asked if the fries were in a shared fryer, she got flustered and confused and she said, “Usually people who are gluten free know what they can and cannot eat.” It was pretty bad and I almost requested someone new, but later the manager came out to help us and talk us through the menu. Now the good: Good tacos. Shrimp and grits was excellent. They were out of GF buns so didn’t get to try the burger.

I’ve eaten here twice and had no issues. There is a separate GF menu so ask for it at the front. I had the shrimp skewers and Hawaiian ono with no symptoms afterwards.

If this poke restaurant were on the mainland, it might earn a solid five stars. However, while it was enjoyable, it didn’t quite blow me away. The macaroni salad was a standout—thick, creamy, and bursting with flavor. I also tried the pork belly appetizer, which was crispy and delicious, though a dipping sauce would have elevated it to perfection. Our server was delightful and attentive, but we ran into an issue that dampened the experience. One person in our party has celiac disease, and she was offered a special gluten-free menu. She clearly explained to the staff that this wasn’t a preference but a severe allergy requiring strict care. They assured her the food would be handled properly, yet her salad arrived with a noodle in it. The manager stepped in and offered to remake it personally, but by then, she’d lost confidence in their cross-contamination protocols.

The quality and freshness of the tuna and salmon were the best we'd had on Hawaii. The rice was also the best we'd had. When we asked for gluten free options, the staff knew exactly which of the ingredients were and weren't safe. They even asked about cross contamination concerns. When they were building my poke bowl, they took their time and asked me if I wanted more of an ingredient if the one they normally use has gluten in it. They even gave me more salmon than my wife's poke bowl and she said they treated me special because the clerk thought I was handsome! LOL!
