Very accomodating staff, just need to ask re GF and they’ll walk you through what you can and can’t have. All ingredients in separate containers so no cc. Best Poke I’ve had so far in Waikiki

Delicious poké bowl with a wide variety of GF options. Indicators on the menu on whether items contain gluten, staff also explain what options you can’t pick. Each item has its own utensils. Really enjoyed my food and quite reasonably priced.

Great experience! As soon as said Celiac the staff started to explain what I could and could not eat. Each bowl comes with either miso crab salad or seaweed salad - neither of which are gluten-free. They offered to put my portion in a to-go container so my partner could eat it. All of the marinated proteins contain gluten, but fresh fish is fine by me. Most of the toppings and crunches were gluten-free and there were 3 gluten-free sauce choices (plain soy sauce, wasabi mayo, siracha mayo). Is this essentially a food court stall, yes. Is it also super fresh, yes. This tourist is happy.

Truly this is a GF/Celiac dream come true. I have severe celiac and this is the safest place I’ve found on Waikiki. Gloves are changed with every customer, you can watch as they make it and ensure there is zero cross contamination. They have great GF options including GF soy sauce.

So so happy. I haven’t had poke since going gf and it is very limiting / I am not celiac so I can’t speak for that but the options were clearly pointed out and I loved how fresh it was. They’re super accommodating and it feels nice to feel normal sometimes!

My Poke lunch was wonderful.. I sent my husband with my selections in each Category.. and he brought a perfect lunch for me. I did not use any of the restaurants sauces, as I prefer to use my own for safety. Besides having celiac, I have a severe garlic allergy which can be difficult. The sides offered were not gluten free was my only disappointment.. but, I’m grateful to the employee that offered that information. My lunch was fabulous..so fresh.. I will definitely go back KC.

This place has a clearly marked GF menu. When you say you have Celiac, the staff also all understands what that means and what you need. Pretty impressive for an assembly-line kind of food place. The poke, itself, was really yummy. Not a lot of GF sauce choices (3), but there are a few.

We ate here probably 4 times while on our trip. The freshest poke I’ve ever had! So delicious! Awesome and safe place to eat if you are celiac/GF. Just make sure you tell them before they start your bowl because the sign they have posted says they won’t remake it if you don’t tell them. They do a good job of telling you what you can and can’t have and as far as I could tell, there’s a very slim chance for cross contamination so I felt very safe. Never got sick after eating here!

I was excited to try this place after reading all the great reviews, but when I went in and explained I can’t have gluten and asked what I could eat the staff had no idea and said the only thing safe thing to eat was the salad mix…. They also said the rice had gluten in? Pretty disappointing.

My go to spot for a quick and safe meal in Waikiki. Chipotle style build your own poke bowl. Inform staff of celiac/gluten allergy when ordering and they will help walk you through which items you can have. There is also a menu on the wall and the items that contain gluten are marked on the menu. Highly recommend!

This poke bar is great for gluten free and non gluten free people. There isn't any ingredient info online but in the store they have all the items thar contain gluten labled on the menu board. They also have a sign at the beginning of the line that says to make sure you let them know if you're gluten free. Once you tell them, they will let you know what you can and cannot have. There are only 2 sauces (spice and Wasabi mayo) on the board labeled GF but they did also have GF soy sauce.

Great poke and all items CONTAINING gluten are clearly marked. They mix everything at the end but use new gloves and/or utensils for every bowl. I got the spicy mayo and sesame oil for sauce. I was hoping they had gf soy sauce but unfortunately they did not. Honestly though, I didn’t miss it since the spicy mayo had a lot of flavor. I did not get sick and would definitely feel comfortable eating here again. The staff also seemed to be knowledgeable on what was gluten free and what was not.

Things that contain gluten are clearly marked on the menu. They have signs inside that say to let them know you need your food gluten free. When I told the lady I couldn't have gluten, she was very knowledgeable of what I could and couldn't have. I thought the only sauce I could have was the spicy mayo so I put it on my poke. Then I was informed that they also had gluten free soy sauce so I added that! Both sauces were good even though the spicy mayo is pretty spicy in my own opinion. I had no reactions after eating the tasty food!

Got glutened here, likely due to cross contamination. Super disappointing, since I absolutely love poke and really liked the food here.

I got a bowl with brown rice, tuna, salmon (forgot I was in Hawaii- should have gotten a double serving of the yummy tuna!), edamame, corn, and avocado, topped with spicy Mayo, GF soy sauce, and crispy ginger. All things that the guy told me we’re safe for me. Not sure which ingredient I got was the culprit.

Great spot for GF poke! They have gluten free soy sauce and spicy Mayo and the majority of things are gf. They changed gloves for my order and I’ve eaten here several times without issue (I’m celiac). They do have a disclaimer at the counter and it is a chipotle-style counter so there could be cross contamination but I stick to fish, rice and veggies that are on one side of the counter and haven’t had any issues. Highly recommend!

I was a little hesitant given some of the reviews but I had a wonderful experience. They had a sign laying out all of the ingredients of each sauce that was really helpful. I had white rice, tuna, shrimp, cilantro, kale, jalapeños, onion, cucumber, edamame sesame seeds, Shoyu (which is gf) and spicy mayo (made of sriracha and mayo). A good chunk of the ingredients are naturally gf just avoided the immitation crab, fried toppings, a few of the sauces and being cautious about cross contamination. From what i can remember the house sauce for sure contained soy sauce so not safe. Each ingredient has there own serving utensil and the employees changed there gloves after each customer when I was in there. It was delicious and I had no reaction.

Needed some safe food while out on Waikiki and most of the other safe sushi places aren’t open Sunday during the day. Saw the other reviews and gave it a shot. Staff was very attentive to my gluten free needs. It appears the only things on the menu that contain gluten are the imitation crab, crunchy bits used for toppings and the sauces. I had a tuna and shrimp on brown rice. I had corn, green onion, white onion, edamame, furikake and GF shoyu sauce. It was really good and fresh. Would absolutely return.
