Symptomatic Celiac

It was my first time eating here and I have a symptomatic Celiac disease. I ate the fried calamari and had 2 dipping sauces and ordered the seafood pad Thai as an entrée. These items were listed as gf on the menu and I shared with my server that I had CD. All was handled very well and I didn't get sick!

We’ve been going here for years. Very well executed Thai food. Love that several items are gluten free or can be adapted. Nice portions of seafood (squid, shrimp & scallops) in the Seafood Pad Thai.

BIG disappointment here. This establishment is false advertising for being “gluten free”. The employee I spoke to told me even the curries have gluten. She states she’s unsure they are even able to modify any of the menu items to prevent gluten (even the ones marked GF). BEWARE.

Last time I ate here I ordered their crab pad thai. They assured me it was gluten free. Nope. Within minutes of starting to eat I was in the bathroom throwing up and massive diarrhea. Ended up using my epi pen. When I called to tell them they didn’t care

I adore this place and their delicious food, but I got glutened the other night from eating yellow curry, which is listed as gluten free. Not sure what’s going on with this place.

I ordered take-out from here while visiting from out of town. When I called, the woman I spoke to on the phone was very knowledgeable about celiac's, and told me they could adapt almost anything to be GF, except fried items, which were prepared in shared oil. My curry and rice were packaged separately, and had great flavor. I did not get sick afterwards. Definitely recommended for thai food in the area.

This is an excellent choice for Thai cuisine! They have a naturally gluten-free, adapted recipe for gluten-free, and gluten-free, but shared fryer menu. I really appreciated all their effort to accommodate a "Celiacs" diet:) Of course the food was delicious and I will be returning!

I called ahead and was told to ask for a GF menu. It was highlighted in different colors for naturally GF dishes , those that could be adapted to GF, and items which were GF but had potential for cross contamination due to a shared fryer. They were very knowledgeable and it was delicious and safe. Thank you, Chalit's!

They will make anything on the menu in a way that is gluten free. Try the mango rice for dessert.
