Not a good experience. Very limited menu and not at all accommodating.

Should have scrolled down to read the reviews before I went here. They no longer have a gf menu and don't offer any gf options.

I went tonight and was told that their menu just changed. The only options now are summer rolls and the bamboo penny's salad.

Needless to say, not a great experience

This place is AMAZING! Our server, Jen, gave us all the time we needed for questions and concerns. Nearly everything on the menu is either already GF or can be made GF upon request. I enjoyed Crunchy Salad Rolls, Massaman Curry with sliced beef, and a wonderful Sweet Sticky Rice & Mango dessert. The food was sooo good we ordered more to take home for the next day: Chicken Satay, Summer Rolls, Beef Noodle Soup (Pho) and Mixed Seafood Stir-fry. The service was unbeatable, atmosphere exciting, and food was out of this world. We plan to visit whenever we're near the Park Place area of Leawood.

The server confirmed they could prepare the food with a gluten allergy in mind. They have a gf version of soy sauce, so the menu is quite expansive to Celiacs. The food was delicious, like gourmet Thai. And outdoor seating!

We've been twice now. We thought we had a good experience the first time and everything was fine. Went back last night and had a totally different experience. We were with a group of people and almost all of us needed gluten free. I ordered the same two dishes I ordered the first time. I was then told that the spring rolls that I had previously ordered were not gf. Which should have been a red flag. Because I was told they were gf last time. I get nervous when I'm told conflicting info. I was then told they could be made gf but it would take extra time. So I went ahead and asked them to make it. When it came out it was definitely different looking than the first time. So either these were not gf or the first time was not gf. I also ordered pad Thai. So did another celiac at the table. Their pad Thai was a different color than my pad Thai and we questioned the server to double check they were both gf.we were told they were and maybe there was just more sauce on mine. Then we saw the waitress go to another waitress and roll her eyes as she relayed the question we had just asked her. Well..... My celiac friend got severely sick that night. So..... Clearly something wasn't gf. Was either the pad Thai or the fried tofu he ordered--both of of which they assured us was gf. I wouldn't recommend this place for celiacs. There was definitely conflicting information and a lack of understanding.
