The Thai red curry with local market fish is amazing. Not many gf options but you only need one. Great tiki drinks as well

2 items on the entire menu to chose from, neither sounded appetizing. Went with the curry fish. It was unpalatable not to mention I have spent the past 18 hours sick. Not celiac safe and beyond limited choices on the menu.

We found this because others rated it well for gluten free. There’s almost nothing gluten free here unless you modify the menu options. There’s also no kids menu.

Tasty local food. The red curry with fish and the Kahlua pig and kale are the 2 GF options on dinner menu.

Dam that was good! Seriously how do you go wrong with pork and poke! The pork was super tender, juicy, and not too salty. The poke was fresh and well flavored. It was served with rice and your choice of side dish, I upgraded to green papaya salad which I checked was gluten free. Originally they gave me two choices for the poke one was spicy and the other one had soy which means that it had gluten in it. But then when I told him I don't eat gluten he offered me another option which was a poke with nut.

Service was super friendly. There's a public parking garage right next to this location only $0.75 an hour. Prices were very reasonable.

If I'm ever in the area again I would definitely eat here!

We had the ‘most GF knowledgeable’ waiter on staff... said ‘I think that is GF’ or it ‘should be’... so our vote of confidence was non-existent... we asked about the gelato and sorbet and were told they were GF. He brought out the gelato with The biscotti cookie on it. When I stated that the cookie was not GF, he told her to eat around it. I said since it had touched, she couldn’t have any of it... he took it back, and brought the same bowl with the same gelato just minus the cookie.

I was told they only have two options for entrees that can be made gluten free. I had the pulled pork, it was very good and didn’t make me feel sick at all but I do think there could be other things on the menu that they could easily offer gf. Overall though the food I had was good and very reasonably priced.

Delicious! My son and I both have celiac and we walked away with no reactions. They have a clear list of gluten free options (when asked for). We had the Kailua pork and rice, and the swordfish curry. They even had a sweet potato Haupia pie that was tasty and gluten free!

Limited gluten free options but what they did offer was spectacular and safe. My kids both had the kids pulled pork platter and my husband and I had the red curry coconut fish which was out of this world. Highly recommended with the caveat that the options are limited but, what we could eat was delicious!

This is the food truck near Kennedy Theater. They have no gluten free menu, but they were knowledgeable and helpful. Unfortunately after talking with the cook about leaving out the papaya salad (dressing has gluten), she put it on anyway! But they made my dish again, and it was very good. They are a little pricey for the portions, however.
