I absolutely love all the gluten free options. I have celiac and have never had a issue with cross contamination. When ordering takeout everything is in separate bags and labeled.

I haven’t had just normal everyday Chinese food in almost a decade now, and going here made me realize how much I miss just getting normal, non-specialty food. The chicken and rice soup is what I remember from my childhood getting from the shop around the corner, and to just have normal fried rice was a godsend. The only thing I will say is that based on reviews I was expecting large portions, and honestly they seemed slightly smaller than average. It was a bit pricey but that was expected, but I was just so happy to have Chinese food again that we decided to splurge.

Super friendly staff and didn’t bat an eye at the gluten-free request! We got the General Tso‘s chicken, the chicken with broccoli, and the Hunan beef with pork fried rice. Our favorite dish was the general Tsos, we would definitely purchase it again, the other two dishes seem to be lacking a little bit of flavor, but for the variety and safety, we give it a 5 out of 5!

Wow! Delicious meal from soup to shrimp with cashews! This restaurant understands Celiac Disease. I wish they were located closer to where we lived. Their menu was so good, I had a hard time deciding what I wanted to order.

My husband and I ate here last night and had a wonderful experience. GF options are clearly marked and the waitress was knowledgeable about cross contamination. We tried the General Tso’s Chicken, Sesame Chicken, veggie Mei Fun and veggie fried rice and everything was hot, fresh, and delicious. I never thought I’d be able to out for Chinese food again after diagnosis and this place made me SO happy! We drove 45min to get there but it was worth it!

I have not had Chinese food since my celiac diagnosis last year and I really missed it. I came here after a day in smithville and wow the food is great!! I had sesame chicken with vegetable fried rice. The food came out in a bag marked gluten free. The chicken was so crunchy and the sauce was amazing. So tasty. The fried rice was also great, super flavorful! I’ll definitely come back soon. Also, no reaction after eating it!

Omg y’all. I’m 7 years gluten free and i have missed Chinese the most. I had gluten free sweet and sour chicken when i was in Ireland in 2017 but I’ve been dying for a good crispy general tso chicken. I posted on fb in a gluten free group asking about gluten free options in the Atlantic City area. 10 people recommended this place so i made the 20 minute drive here and god i am so glad i did. I live in the cherry hill area and this is about a 50 minute drive from my house. I will gladly make this trip any day of the week for this food. It was SO good. Breaded and crispy and the sauce tasted just like the regular stuff. I also got the chicken fried rice which was delicious!!!! Can not wait to go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

Highly recommend! It is very rare to find a Chinese restaurant that understands celiac so thoroughly. They have a dedicated fryer, gluten free soy sauce, and a huge gluten free selection. Everything is clearly labeled on the menus as well.

The servers and owners were super nice and personable and I definitely enjoyed my time there.

We ordered a noodle dish, veggie fried rice and general tsos chicken. Will be back!

Huge gf menu choices. Every meal we’ve ever had was super delicious. Friendly, kind and allergy knowledgeable waiters. Owner, Lily is so wonderful. We eat here so often and never a gf problem. That’s saying a lot from one who is a sensitive celiac. Food is so good that we had a big family dinner here and everyone is still raving about it. Enjoy Chinese food, again!

My 7 yr old was so happy she was able to order food and dine at a restaurant together. Ordered her the gluten free sesame chicken and soup for her.

We go every summer when we visit the Jersey shore! Our favorite, wonderful GF menu!!

Excellent option for gluten free Chinese! They have so many options that were delicious! We had general tsos chicken, beef and broccoli, sesame chicken and combination fried rice! So exciting to have a restaurant that’s safe!! Which we lived closer

Super nice staff, eat here all the time! The only Chinese my family will eat.

Lots of options for me, and the waitress is so sweet.

Been eating gluten free here with my young daughter (who has celiac) for years - excellent GF Chinese food. Large menu to pick from, very friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of GF choices. Order once a week, love it!

Celiac friendly?

Sorry to say but I ordered a pickup and it was tasty and good going down but I had diarrhea for 8 days after that. Maybe safer to eat there and and face to face talk to them. Won’t be going back. 😞

I love this restaurant! Wish this was closer to my home. You would never know these dishes were gluten free. So good, even my non-celiac husband happily eats off the GF menu. There's nothing else to say except go and enjoy!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fairly extensive GF menu. Been getting meals here for almost a year and have never gotten sick. Everything is fresh, always safe and delicious. They also mark every GF part of your order clearly and put GF items in a separate bag to avoid any and all chances of cross contaminating. Excellent service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had an amazing GF lunch when I was on visiting the area last week. Dedicated fryer and I had sesame chicken for the first time in 10 years! I will definitely be back! Thank you!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So yummy! Love the GF menu!

Since our maiden visit almost 4 months ago when our college son was first diagnosed with celiac (see earlier review), we’ve gotten take out on at least 4 or 5 occasions. I’m happy to say that not only has he enjoyed every meal with no gluten reaction, but also that the same goes for our friends with a celiac son. They recently tried China Sea on our recommendation and were thrilled to find it safe and delicious.

Delicious! Owner is very knowledgeable and the gf food is safe and delicious!! It is so nice to have a place I can trust!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a gem! When I come down to the shore, This is my new go to spot. Went twice in a span of two days. Chicken w broccoli, fried rice, noodles and sesame chicken to name a few! My gluten eating family loved their dishes too! Will definitely be back!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Been here at least 30 times and never been sick. I am a very sensitive celiac and no problems here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here several times now and it's delish! I have never gotten sick and I am very sensitive. Their g free menu is extensive. I get the schezuan tofu and sautéed asparagus and white rice. So good! The only thing I would say is...if you get a waiter who doesn't seem 100% about your g free order...go up to manager/owner and confirm you must get g free food. Just to cover your bases!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Really extensive GF menu minutes from Atlantic City. General Tso'sc fried rice and ho fun were all excellent. Gluten eaters couldn't tell any difference. Wish we had a place like this close to home. Delicious!

China sea of absecon is awesome! we found this place from this app, and it was a great find! it tastes exactly like non gf Chinese food! the fried rice is AWESOME and so is the general tso chicken! I would definitely recommend this place to gf and non gf people!
