TK Noodle House Kona

very disappointed with the pad thai. noodles were mushy, no flavor, no originality. website photos look much better than the restaurant actually is, or the food.

Nothing is labeled gluten free on the menu. Pho, which is gluten free practically everywhere else (I’ve spent lots of time in Vietnam and it literally was gluten free everywhere there) is apparently not gluten free here according to the person answering the phone. Steer clear. They need to clearly mark the menu before a Celiac should feel safe here.

The restaurant is simple, and don’t be put off by the modest exterior. They can accommodate most things to be gluten free. Three of us had Pad Thai (chicken, beef and tofu). I tried the tofu Pad Thai. The tofu was cooked very nicely; the sauce was sweeter than I’m used to having, but it was surprisingly very light and fresh. I also had the summer rolls. The portions were very generous, and the staff was very accommodating and knowledgeable.

If you’re looking for a casual meal or take out, it’s a solid, Celiac-friendly place. We all left full, with leftovers, and felt great!
