bd's Mongolian Grill

Not safe. Busy buffet trough. It was difficult to find something not obviously cross contaminated from spill overs. They took my “safe” bowl to the back to cook, saying they would bring it to my table. After my dining companions finished eating their bowls, I went looking for my food. Someone found it in the back “just finished”. Cold. Not worth eating. Let alone worth $17 per person.

The staff was helpful and the manager came and double checked what was safe for me. They gave me a piece of paper and I wrote all the ingredients I wanted in my meal and they made if for me with fresh stuff from the back (including gluten free soy sauce). However, even though they were super careful, I still got sick. I think that I am becoming more sensitive to soy, but it felt like gluten sick, so I’m not sure!

Celiac friendly?

No

They label gluten free and they cook food in a completely different area. You may have to ask for some non-contaminated food from the buffet (noodles are right next to some other food), but they have always been very helpful. Food is delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very helpful staff, and celiac friendly. They prepare allergy bowls on a completely separate cooking surface in the back, not on the main grill. Good selection of meats and vegetables to choose from.

Two things that keep me from giving them a 5-star. First, very limited selection of GF sauces, and the GF sauces they did have were somewhat unusual. None of them were made with GF soy sauce as far as I could tell. Second, they couldn't tell me which of the seasonings (spices/salts/peppers/etc.) were GF, so I didn't use any of them. Because of these two issues, my bowls came out tasting pretty bland. But BD's might be right up your alley if you're GF and don't like spicy food.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Celiac friendly but not a ton of options when it comes to sauces.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sauces marked as gluten-free. Will cook food separate to not cross contaminate. Very accommodating.

Yes

Why does this restaurant come up as a choice on the gluten free app while it states there is no gluten free menu?

Not confidence inspiring at all. The new girl working the allergy station did not take my requests serious at all. I have been to other locations that were great. I specifically asked that they get rice noodles from the back to avoid cross contamination and I watched her grab directly from the cross contaminated line. When I asked about it I was told it will be fine. I sat and watched my family eat and asked for my meal to be taken off the bill. Very disappointing and not worth the risk. Bathrooms are also disgusting, the floor and our table are sticky. Will never return to this location.

I have eaten here for years and I have gotten glutened for the first time after being under new management. There is a separate allergy counter, but allergies are not taken seriously. No longer recommend eating here.

We used to eat here ALL THE TIME. Like once a week. We would make a bowl at the allergy counter and everything was fine. We went yesterday and they had made a lot of changes. There was still an allergy counter. Apparently they aren’t keeping the same safety practices at the allergy counter because my fiancé got pretty sick. Very disappointing as this was a go to spot.
