Fairly certain I was “glutened”. I felt a bit of an upset stomach after eating there, but was thinking maybe it was something else. The feeling was gone the next morning, but I got it again after eating the leftovers. Taste-wise, the food was ok, but not the best Thai food I’ve had.

We were hesitant to dine here given the mediocre reviews on Google, but wow the food was great!! Hubby gave the pad Thai 10/10. The Thai fried rice was delicious as were the coconut shrimp. They were accommodating for our gluten free needs (Celiac) and made the Thai fried rice gluten free and their Pad Thai was gluten free at baseline. I will say they were quite pricey—$65 for 1 app, 1 adult entree and 1 kids meals, but the food was yummy and reasonable portions. We would definitely come here again!

Gluten free items are marked on menu. Sushi is NOT gluten free. I called before going and was told sushi was gluten free. When we arrived I asked hostess and she said it wasn’t and double checked with manager. I was disappointed and a little Leary that other things were accurate. Had the summer rolls and soup which were just ok. Was overpriced for what it was.

Friendly service. We had the GF Chicken Pad Thai. My plate only had 2 or 3 pieces of chicken but it had a nice sweet flavour.

Food was horrible and the sushi barely had any fish in it. We sent two pad tai’s back because they tasted awful. Way overpriced too.

Have some gluten free options but was disappointed with quality. Both beef and chicken were tough and seemed to be reheated frozen stock. Ate there on previous trips and it was much better. Also service was marginal due to lack of adequate staff. $4.95 for glass of tea seems high.

Food was ok. Nothing special. A few gf choices.

Yummy!!!! Plenty of clearly marked options on the menu. The green curry was amazing and able to be customized with extra veggies. Good service and fun drink list.

really yum pad thai and chicken satay. creamy and delicious sauces. lots of GF options.

Posted as a good place to eat gluten free. Very few options for gluten free and the food was disappointing. Would not recommend this place. Satay skewers were maybe marinated in Soy sauce and he laughed at us when we asked if they used GF soy sauce.

Celiac friendly?

No

I was unimpressed. They didn't seem knowledgeable at all. Our waiter made our allergy a joke. Had items on the menu marked gluten free that weren't. Curry was under seasoned chicken was dry and hard.

Super yummy curry! I had the hawaiian shrimp curry and it was really good. My husband had the pad Thai and I tried it - also very good. They offer a sushi menu, but they do not have Tamari or GF soy sauce, which was a bummer.
