Review of Kiawe Roots

I must have come on an off-day because this place has so many great reviews, but I got sick and the person helping us was pretty rude. I mentioned my gluten allergy and ordered the tofu rice bowl (labeled gf) and he told me the tofu is cooked on a shared grill. I asked if it would be possible to cook it separately or just leave off the tofu and he said they would clean it very well. I saw that he made a note on the ticket “severe allergy - clean grill” but nevertheless I later had my classic gluten symptoms - not fun the night before a snorkel boat tour. Overall it was not a good experience and definitely not worth it for a gf vegetarian.
