Very tasty food. They had marked the items that they could offer in GF, on their menu. As soon as I mentioned my celiac, the waitress knew what I was talking about and assured me she would take care of it. And she did. I got the rice vermicelli with chicken and it was very good. No reaction afterwards either. Definitely recommend this place.

First off, Veronica is awesome! Super friendly, knowledgeable and just an overall rockstar as she covers the entire restaurant plus phone orders, etc. and is super on top of everything. We had the GF/Vegan spring rolls and hands down the best I've ever had. The dipping sauce is sooo good! We then had the Gluten Free and Vegan Pho and it was very delicious, again, the best because I'm not big on tofu but theirs is really good. Combine that with the bok choy, broccoli, carrots and other veggies...so good! I have celiac disease and Veronica was understanding and took care to let the kitchen know to ensure I would be able to dine safely. Will definitely be coming back again and again!

My kids and I all have celiac. We have been eating here safely for years. They have a great gluten free menu. All of the staff is very knowledgeable and they are also very friendly. The food here It's amazing! It's Favorite safe places to eat.

The majority of the menu is naturally gluten free. Our favorite is pho and vermicelli.

The menu specifies which things can be made GF upon request. I got the vegan pho and liked it a lot. The server was super nice and I felt really safe ordering there

Benley’s is great! I’ve eaten here a few times and never been sick. Try the pho, flattened chicken, or pork spring rolls. So good.

Very happy with the pho and the spring rolls. The menu does note that the items marked GF are so on request, so make sure you clarify that to staff. The staff was very friendly too!

I've eaten here at least 5-6 times and never sick.

Chatted with the family that runs the place and they are VERY cautious about both understanding GF and creating delicious meals

Highly recommended :)

My new favorite Vietnamese restaurant! Haven’t explored the menu much, but I love the lemongrass spring rolls and the chicken pho. Staff understands gluten issues. Haven’t been glutened here after several visits — highly recommend.

Friendly staff that is obviously aware of GF issues. I've stuck to pho and spring rolls (with fish sauce) so far and been fine. They have many items labeled GF on their menu, not sure how they're prepared, etc so definitely ask questions.

Dedicated GF menu and servers are knowledgable also. Food tastes great and I haven't had a reaction after eating here. Located right next to a GF bakery, which makes visiting a double-treat!
