Asian Pearl Bistro

My digestive system is very sensitive and I have had the gluten free sweet and sour chicken a dozen times here and never gotten sick. They use corn starch for their batter and is so crunchy. We used to come here all the time when my Mother in Law lived in Windsor…. She had moved into assisted living, and now in Heaven and I will miss this tradition of coming here and eating Chinese food with her

They can make almost any dish gluten free. It’s so nice to have so many choices. The food is delicious. My daughter and I are celiac and have not had a problem eating here. The owners and staff are very friendly.

I walked in and the hostess said they could make anything gf except for things like crab wontons or wheat noodle dishes. Upon questioning the waiter further, it became clear that they don’t have a dedicated fryer for things like general Tso’s chicken. Still a lot more options than most Chinese places due to gf soy sauce, but they will tell you that things are gluten free that aren’t. I wouldn’t get anything deep fried if you are celiac or allergic. I got steamed tofu and veggies with garlic sauce, which was great, but I got really sick the next day. Not safe. Don’t know if they mixed up the sauce or there was cross contamination. There was a bit of a language barrier.

No

I’ve got sick about 4 years ago and stayed away until this week. I decided to give them another chance, and got very sick.

Excellent Kung Pao Chicken. Many menu items may be ordered GF. I ordered GF & my husband ordered the regular. When the server delivered, I asked how he knew the difference between the two. He said the GF soy sauce is a different color. The dishes looked exactly the same. The only reason I didnt give a 5 star is because I am not sure I received the right dish. We will order different things next time!

Best GF sweet and sour chicken I've had since being diagnosed 12 years ago!! Such fluffy corn flour ! My son has celiac now too and he loved his gf sesame chicken! Pretty much the entire menu can be made gf ! And they give us celiacs Hershey's kisses while the gluten eaters have fortune cookies
