Review of Sam Choy's Kai Lanai

You order at a cashier and then seat yourself. The menu is pretty limited. The two meals I wanted (grilled fish tacos or BBQ ribs) were the only things on the menu they told me were not GF, even thought they had deep fried fish and chips and teriyaki beef and chicken. I ordered the chili shrimp. I was not sure it was GF, I took a few bites and it tasted like the sauce was from a jar. Yuck! To be safe, I ordered ahi caprese and edamame, which were both good. The pina colada was awful, so I sent it back. The second one wasn’t much better. I noticed not many people were finishing their drinks, either. I got out of there without getting sick, but I would recommend this place to anyone, celiac or not!
