Ordered the Tom Kha. She said they could make it gluten free. The menu is very good at listing the ingredients.

Great experience in a small town. Nice to have it so close to the national park. Almost all of the Thai entrees are gluten free and you can get steamed rice or rice noodles to go with the curry. We were not asked about spice level like we have been at other Thai restaurants, but the base spice was nice, not too hot, but not bland either. The mahi was a nice protein choice we don’t get often in the lower 48.

They do not have a gluten free menu but many menu items can be made gluten free. I asked for a gluten free pad se eaw, it was fantastic, large portion, but a little pricey ($22.99). My group also ordered the summer rolls and the spring rolls, without having to ask the waitress informed me that the summer rolls were gluten free and the spring rolls were not. I had no reaction from anything I ate!

Had gf easily marked on menu, knew exactly what I was talking about when I requested gf. Food was delicious, a good size portion (because it is a little pricey), was ready quick, and really enjoyed the food!

Good thai food! Excellent service. Knowledgeable about gluten and cross contamination. Even have a temporary gluten-free kitchen.

Very helpful. Felt secure, ate 2 days in a row. No reaction whatsoever, where I'm very cross contamination sensitive! So super win!

Remember only open fri-sun.

I was disappointed with the food here after seeing so many good reviews. Maybe ownership has changed? I ordered GF Pad Thai which included an odd sauce that had no peanut in it at all. I wouldn’t have minded if it had at least been safe but it wasn’t. My friend ordered the regular Pad Thai and also got sick.

Some of the best Thai food I have ever had!! I would definitely recommend the pad Thai and yellow curry they were soooo good. My sister got the fried rice but they didn’t have gf soy sauce so there wasn’t a ton of flavor but all the other dishes were incredible.

First off, very very tasty stuff. My party came back here twice in our short trip because everyone loved the food. And on top of that I didn't get sick. The menu isn't marked with GF options so you'll have to ask them what is safe and what is not, and I'd recommend saying both gluten and wheat free, as it seems they deal mostly with the idea of wheat in things. Both waitresses were knowledgeable about what is safe to eat and what is not. The two meals I had were the red curry and then the yellow curry. The special curry wasn't not safe as they use wheat in the curry. Didn't even ask about the Pad Thai so I can't say if the noodles are safe.

Amazingly knowledgable. They were able to make almost every meal GF on request. Had the pad Thai and it was amazing. They use a blend of sugar and salt instead of soy sauce in their meals. Highly recommend this place!!!

Knowledgeable about gluten allergy. Had the yellow and green curry (shared with husband). All meats are GF. Pricey but well worth it. Some of the best curry we have ever had. Make sure to tell them to make it GF wheat free.

Delicious food, great staff, wonderful atmosphere. I haven't tried to order anything other than curry here, so I don't know how accommodating they would be. the Massaman and Panang curries are to die for. This is one of the best Thai restaurants I've ever eaten at; they provide large portions and are quite reasonably priced for the Big Island. Just make sure you ask them to prepare your curry gluten free! It's not by default.

The staff was knowledgeable about gf options, and I didn't get sick. The food was mediocre at best. My phad Thai tasted nothing at all like phad Thai. It gets 3 stars because eating here was better than becoming hangry.

Wonderful place to eat. The waiter was very helpful with GF options. We arrived at 6 and by 630 the place was packed with people waiting outside. Only problem was with the app directions. From Volcano National Park the directions said to turn right onto Old Volcano Rd when in fact it is a left turn. In my opinion follow the sign for gas and food. Turn left then make an immediate right and the restaurant is next to the True Value.
