Looking at the other positive reviews, we came to this establishment. I told them I was celiac, which they noted. I ordered kalua pork, rice and slaw. As I was eating the pork I saw macaroni in the pork. Bad form. They offered to make me another plate but can’t trust this place. Be warned if you have celiac.

I have eaten here a few times and my son worked here for a while. I haven’t ever been glutened or gotten sick from eating here. My son said from the back kitchen area that they take seriously those with gluten allergies to try and protect them from harm.

One of my favorite places to eat. They are knowledgeable about their gluten free options and I have never gotten sick. I always get the pork and rice with the Waikiki sauce.

Absolutely love this place! There’s a very limited menu for gluten-free. I think it is just the Kalua pig and steamed rice with no sauce. Still very fun date!

They have a process for gluten free orders. I eat here all the time and simply mentioning gluten free they usually take all the precautions. I double check by asking them to change gloves but it seems that it is the norm. This is a regular stop for me and with Celiac I've never been sick.

Fun place with several gluten free options. Pork seems to be their specialty and their pork is gluten free. The staff seemed knowledgeable and were familiar with gluten free protocol. I felt that this is a safe place for my daughter who has celiac.

The Island Avocado Salad was delicious. I am not a pork fan so limited items w/o pork. My daughter had the Lani Ono tacos & liked them.
