Asked at the door if they have a gluten free menu. The host went and asked the chef. Came back and said the gf menu wasn't written down but subs could be made. Server said the Gf choices were marked. The only things were a green bean salad and a brussel sprout app. I asked if anything could be made gf with rice noodles and she said yes. Then when she came back she said the chef said no they could do anything with rice noodles but no it wouldn't be gf. And the only thing I could have that would be actually gluten free was the green bean salad. Waste of time.

The waiter explained that all equipment is shared, even the water all the noodles were cooked in. He had the chef make me the green bean sitaw on clean equipment, but I still don’t feel that great (I’m Celiac).

The staff was knowledgeable and eager to check and double check to make sure everything was gluten free. There were a lot of options, and everything was really good. Anyone who is gluten free should definitely try this place! It was great!

The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The gluten free menu is a modified version of the regular menu with substitutions such as rice noodles instead of ramen. The food is delicious. I have had the spicy curry bowl and nachos without any issues.
