Our server was more than willing to ask the kitchen to make my mochi pancakes in a separate pan, away from the gluten-containing ingredients.

There was an extensive gluten free menu with many options to choose from. The waiter even took the time to write on our order that it had to be gluten free which I appreciated. I got the mochi pancakes and they were so good I was worried they were not gluten free. No reaction at all, will hopefully be going back soon.

Good but be cautious. I found a crouton in my salad. I wish I could give this place 5/5 because the staff seemed great and were receptive to me being celiac but I did have a crouton in my side salad. It made me a bit leery about the other food but I think it was okay?
I got the garlic shrimp with plain rice and a side salad.
Food was tasty and when I saw the crouton I got a replacement.
I would still recommend this place, but be cautious.

Lulu’s burgers are soooo good. Super juicy and full of flavor. They’re served with a nice side salad or rice.
The blueberry mochi pancakes are delicious too.

The mochi pancakes are amazing! We ate here multiple times on our vacation because the kiddos could finally order pancakes at a restaurant. It sounds silly now but I actually teared up a little when they asked can we get pancakes and I could actually tell them yes. I also loved the gluten free menu. Good selection of items and really tasty. It was a relief to have this option available on our trip and so close to our hotel location.

So this place is super cute- I would recommend a reservation so you don't have to wait too long (it was pretty busy when I visited on a Thursday night). They have items marked that can be or are gluten free. The food was really good (probably one of my favorite meals), unfortunately I think I did get sick from my food that I got.
I can't confirm that for sure but I was on the toilet for a hour that night :(
* I had gotten the burger with the bbq pork on it with a side Caesar salad

Menu has an entire gf section, which is always appreciated! When I ordered the steak tacos the waitress immediately asked if I was celiac! She was very knowledgeable, and friendly! I also ordered the pineapple mojito mocktail. Everything was delicious! I did not get sick, highly recommend!

This place is so good and they have a GF menu. Their mochi pancakes are great but the Island Tacos are even better. The place is open late but some of the items are only available from 9am-4pm.

Ate at Lulu's 4 times during my vacation. Once for dinner and three times for pancake breakfast. I felt fine every time. The GF Mochi Pancakes were very enjoyable, and though the dinner options were a bit limited, all the waiters seemed knowledgeable and aware of Gluten. No dedicated fryer, but GF Menu

Beautiful view of Waikiki Beach! Went for both lunch and breakfast the next day. The Kahlua BBQ pig burger was great, but no separate friers so our server let us know the fries would be cross-contaminated. Got the mochi pancakes for breakfast with bananas - to be honest I was expecting some unique flavor but maybe I'm not familiar enough with mochi so they tasted like normal pancakes to me. Not a bad thing at all, they were still great! Got a bottle of champagne for a relatively good price too for breakfast mimosas.

We came for the gluten free mochi pancakes and they did not disappoint. My wheat allergic son had no reaction and loved them (and asked to go back every single day after!). Even the non-wheat allergic members of our party thought they were good. There were other gluten free items listed on the menu as well.

Went for dinner, only thing on Menu that is GF are a list of burgers, fish tacos and poke. They were out of GF soy sauce. Had the fish Tacos - they were dry as the sauce on them was missing was told it has gluten in it. I wish the waitress would have mentioned this before. Sides were limited to side salad or rice as the chips/salsa in not GF as well. Very limited choices, would not recommend.

Although I was super skeptical, I went in and talked to the waitress and she couldn’t eat gluten either. She reassured me that the mochi pancakes are gluten free and I tried them, they were AMAZING! Didn’t get sick at all afterwards. Gluten free menu too. Celiac stamp of approval. ❤

No issues, staff was knowledgeable. There is a menu in the back of their regular menu That's all gluten-free items listed. Had the burger with gluten-free bun, the fryer is not safe so they subbed for a side salad. Only dessert that's gluten-free was the sorbet. My family enjoyed their food no one got sick and we felt safe.

I told them about my Celiac and the manager spoke with me they changed the sauce, so poke was safe, just tell them no wonton bowl. We also got the nachos with kalua pork. We could not finish all of the poke.... the nachos got demolished. It had been a while since I could get nachos at a restaurant. Will go back to try the mochi pancakes before we go back home

There isn’t any specifications on their menu about what is gluten free or not, so we had to ask. They weren’t very well educated on gluten or cross contamination, but I explained what precautions should be taken and it was fine! My husband and I got the Beachboy Nachos with pork and they were delicious!
