5 Spice China Grill

Unfortunately, this facility is very run-down. The staff was kind, but not as knowledgeable as you want when dealing with a gluten allergy. The food was mediocre, but we didn't have a reaction - which is the goal. Upon asking for the GF soy sauce - we were brought the low sodium instead. We not to use it, but it was alarming. They realized and corrected what they did - but had we not known to be cautious it could have ended with a reaction.

Fantastic for those of us who are sensitive, but can handle a little cross contamination from non-dedicated fryers. They can make almost any dish there gluten free (although it may not taste exactly like the original is they have to swap sauce) and will bread your chicken with cornstarch. Most of the staff is very knowledgeable (only encountered one person who was hesitant about what did and did not contain gluten) and ready to help.

I emailed the manager and said I had celiac. He said make sure they know it's for "allergy" and they would wash hands, change gloves and keep the food separate from the other food. I have not tried it but wanted to pass on the info.

They can bread the chicken with cornstarch, but they fry it in the same fryer with wheat products.

Celiac friendly?

No

They will make breaded chicken with cornstarch to make it gluten free. They also have gluten free soy sauce and will make you fried rice separate with it. Very good sweet and sour chicken made this way.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great shrimp fried rice!

Love the mango chicken!

I have eaten here several times, and food is pretty good. They have an actual gluten-free menu, which includes their egg drop soup. Check it out - definitely worth a try.
