Review of Alice's Mandarin Taste

We LOVE Alice's. It is our favorite celiac friendly Chinese food restaurant. We eat there with our celiac daughter on avg 2x/month. It's the restaurant she requests to go to for mommy/daughter or daddy/daughter dates, or for family celebrations. My daughter is very sensitive to gluten (celiac disease). She has never gotten sick here.

The taste of the gluten free Chinese food is indistinguishable from non-gf food. We do prefer to eat at the restaurant where the food is hot and fresh, but take out is fine when in a pinch as well.

Our usual order: basil fried rice, sesame chicken, chicken wings. We have also ordered the ginger scallion chicken, beef and broccoli, Mongolian beef, and some other dishes.

I love how the staff separates the GF from non-GF food order. They always repeat back our order to ensure understanding.

We've gotten pretty familiar with the waitstaff and the owner (we are regulars there, lol). We learned that the owner had a customer over 20 years ago who would order only select items and bring his own soy sauce. She asked him questions and learned he had celiac. Since then, she researched the disease and learned ways she could make some of her dishes gluten free so that he wouldn't need to bring in his own soy sauce or avoid certain foods. How sweet is that??

Great food, great staff.
