Review of GRYLT Kahala

Don't go here unless you are going to be very vigilant about making sure everything is actually gluten-free. While most menu items are labeled as gluten-free, the staff (one of whom seemed to be the owner or store manager) was not knowledgeable about what items contained gluten. The first time we went, we ordered the Loco Moco (a new menu item) and asked if it was gluten-free. She said it was so we got it and when it arrived, it was topped with fried onions. We went back in and asked about the fried onions at while point she realized they were not gluten-free and re-made our meals. The second time, my girlfriend ordered the Braised Beef, which is labeled on the menu as being gluten-free. When it arrived, it was covered in a sauce that had not been mentioned so she went back to check and they said it was the Asian Fusion sauce, which is not gluten-free. Again, the meal was re-made to be actually gluten-free.

So, they are very nice and happy to re-make meals if they have gluten, but you cannot trust the GF designations on the menu and need to be very vigilant about making sure there is not gluten in each of the components of your meal.
