Good Thai- super reasonable price. Tons of food. Would stop back and try something else if in area. Very hard to find. In a food court in a strip mall behind the grocery store.

We stopped here on the way to Honoka’a. Really delicious food all dairy free and gluten free located inside a food court.

Definitely worth visiting. Foodland and the Natural Market in the shopping center has excellent options for celiacs as well.

Thank god for this place. Delicious fried rice and tested safe with my Nima. I’ve been here 2 days and eaten here twice already. I told the staff to get used to me. The pad Thai wasn’t a flavor I am used to for pad Thai, going to just stick to my fried rice. This place is a must-visit for this island. The food is fresh and takes about 15 minutes to make. You can call ahead to place your order.

Tested three dishes out of paranoia with a Nima gluten sensor. Panang Curry, Green Curry, and Pad Thai. This location has a certified gluten free sign, the cashier explained all sauces were made in house and gluten free, and the food was delicious. I have confirmed Celiac and had no issues. Highly recommended.

Delicious AND safe! It’s clearly where the locals go to eat, there was a steady stream of people ordering both at the counter and carry out. Looking forward to going back and will plan adventures around eating there, it’s that good.

All of their items are gluten free so their kitchen is a dedicated gluten kitchen. Staff was knowledgeable about celiac disease. Came here a couple of times.

Pineapple fried rice - Excellent. Only avoid if you don't really care for tumeric.

Pumpkin curry - Excellent, super flavorful red curry so highly recommend you to try this! One of the best curries I've ever had. If you order a curry, you can select from jasmine, brown or sticky rice.

Drunk man's noodles - Meh. Yes, this is the dish's name. I thought it was going to be like the typical thai drunken noodles that's super saucy, but it was really dry rice noodles cooked with chipped up lemon grass, galangal, thai basil, a couple of other herbs, veggies. Lacking in flavor.

100% gluten free kitchen

We have probably ordered everything on the menu at some point. It is all amazing. My favorite is the Avocado Curry with chicken (mild). Also the chicken skewers (I have to hide them from the kids if I want any). Their fried rice, papaya salad, pad Thai, chicken larb - all awesome! And you have to try his Ginger lemonade!

I had the Pad Thai which was amazing! I asked the man working there, and he said everything on the menu was 100% GF, so I felt super safe eating there. I even brought my non GF family along, and they said this was some of the best Thai food they’ve had. Delicious and definitely will be visiting again before leaving the island!

Pad Thai was delicious. A couple of things though: 1) our GPS did not lead us to the right place and we actually found it by accident. 2) they only accept cash. But well worth the hassle.

The Tom Kha Gai Soup and Chicken Curry Salad were excellent. The added bonus of every item on the menu being gluten-free, means that there is a lot to choose from and no concern about getting glutenized! A bit pricey, but worth it.

NOTE: This is not a sit-down-have-your-order-taken-and-get-served restaurant. Rather it's order at the window for take-out or food to be eaten in the little adjacent patio. We were very happy to get our order To Go and take it back to the hotel to eat on our own little patio as we watched the sun set.

Humble location with incredible food! Theres good reason why this small, walk up restaurant gets such great reviews on yelp. The dishes are a fusion of Thai, vietnamese and Hawaiian with local fish and fruit. Youll find the standard dishes, but Also things you wont find anywhere else. If you are in west Hawaii, its worth the drive even if its out of the way.

This restaurant is a kiosk at an open-air mall in Waikoloa Village. Everything on the menu is gluten-free. There are shaded tables to sit and eat. (It's right across from Pueo's Osteria.) We had the Crab Fried Rice and the Pineapple Fried Rice and both were excellent. All the food is billed as Organic, GMO-free, and Gluten-free. Highly recommended!
