The food is delicious and gluten free, even the Mac & cheese!

This note is for people who might mistakenly think one can eat there. THIS IS TAKE-OUT ONLY! You cannot eat there. You can order there, order ahead, or use a meal delivery service, but you must have to-go food. Maybe native NYers already knew this, but I am not a NYer and was surprised to learn that about 20 restaurants operate from this one location with to-go only.

It was OK, though. There is a hotel right around the corner with a seating area out front. My daughter and I took our delicious meals to the hotel and dined al fresco.

I had a small order of Hulu chicken, low carb (veggies instead of rice). It was more than enough for me and delicious.

Hawaiian food is pretty rare in nyc so this was a treat! They said everything was gluten free except for the mac salad. I tried the Huli Huli chicken and their spam musubi and both were good!

Tips


Celiac

No seating. To-go only. My previous tip said a particular food delivery service but that is not accurate. You can order ahead, order in store, or use a meal delivery service. But no seats.

My favorite place in OKC! As of 5/3/24, the only 2 items on the menu that are NOT gluten free: chow mein noodles and the macaroni salad. Everything else is gluten free! They also have great protocols in place for allergens. I usually get the Huli Huli or the Molokai chicken with the veggies and it’s absolutely delicious! You also can’t leave without getting the dole whip - pineapple or raspberry. Or you can get a “twist” and have the best of both worlds! Definitely recommend this one!

Felt safe ordering. The ordering process wad a little rough at first since it was digital screens. Hulu Huli Chicken is a new favorite.

Really love this place. I know it probably doesn't compare to actual Hawaiian BBQ but without a point of comparison, I'm pretty happy with this experience. The only thing with gluten is the macaroni salad, so it's easy to avoid. My only complaint is that the mixed veggies are a bit inconsistent and usually too wet for my tastes, but I switched to getting pineapple instead and it's my recommendation. The pineapple BBQ sauce is so good.
