Al's Aloha Kitchen

For me, when I eat gluten my wrists break out in hives and my vision is impaired in extreme cases. Knowing how I am affected from gluten I am extremely aware of what I eat. I told the cashier I am celiac and once I got my order I noticed there was granola on my bowl. I asked the lady what was if it was gluten free, she replied it should be. I was already alarmed but decided to continue eating. After a few minutes I realized it looked just like everyone else’s bowl who ordered a regular bowl. I then asked the staff in the kitchen, they told me it’s not gluten free. If you are celiac and have extreme reaction I would not recommend this place. Gloves were not changed and the package my bowl was in had no indication of it being made gluten free.

This restaurant specializes in açaí bowls and poke bowls. The first time I went I ordered an açaí bowl only to discover I had totally screwed up and ordered it without realizing it had granola. Totally my mistake. I asked if they had gluten free granola. They do! They remade my bowl with gf granola no charge even though it was my fault! Delicious bowl. Then got poke bowls for dinner. I ordered one salmon based. My fellow fibers each got the shi tuna poke based bowls. I didn’t enjoy mine as much as they did. I thought it was a bit bland and actually had too many accompaniments. Next time I’ll get ahi based with minimal add ons. Excellent service and very good food.

They specialize in Poke' bowls but they also offer Superfruit Bowls. Nearly everything is GF and they use GF soy sauce. Delicious and fresh. Staff is super friendly too.
