I was a bit skeptical of the whole thing when I first arrived. But after talking to the chef in the allergy area, I felt pretty comfortable with the separate cooking area. The buffet prep area gets pretty hectic and sloppy, so that could be an issue.

Nasty, dirty, dedicated allergy area absolutely not even if the sign above the area says so, the considerations for cross contamination are no where to be found at the buffet area or cooking area. My husband and I ending up with the worse headaches 1 hour after we left and my digestion system hasn't recovered yet and it's been weeks. I will never ever eat there again and I warn everyone even those with no allergies to stay away just because of the filth. Need proof take a stroll through there. Can't believe this place isn't on a health inspectors list.

Dedicated allergy cooking center. Soups that day were not GF. They have four sauces that are GF. No appetizers but the salad was largely ok. They do sell GF cider. Overall a good safe choice and I will be coming back.

Had delicious chicken, rice noodles, and veggies in a lemon sauce! They got all my ingredients from the back to avoid cross-contamination and made it in the Allergy Zone, a separate kitchen space for cooking allergy dishes. Will def come back!

Very helpful and friendly. They have an allergy zone for allergies and food is cooked separately. We let the manager Matt know of the allergy when we came in. They let us pick out the meats, sauces and spices we wanted first and then got everything fresh from the back to avoid cross contamination. Rice noodles were cooked well. Create your own gf Mongolian dish! Gf beers and drinks too.

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.

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.
