Love this place for the fast food style Chinese I'd been missing out on for years. Have been many times and never had issues. Always call ahead and specify gluten free on every order. Everything comes marked GF and delicious.

Not Celiac Safe as of 5/2023. Got sick. It wasn’t even very good, the chicken had warmed over flavor. Their menu needs to list all ingredients— I ordered something that had undeclared dairy milk and had to order and go get something else due to milk allergy.

They use shared equipment — which they did say when asked— but obviously do not clean well enough to be Celiac safe. I had significant CC symptoms.

You should really order ahead because the Combination items that they have ready to go are not Gluten-Free, but basically everything on the menu is available gluten-free. It was our favorite Chinese place before my daughter got diagnosed with Celiac's, and now that Panda Express is out, we like it even better.

Found this via this app and ordered for the first time. My boyfriend, who is celiac and will be sick from the smallest amount of gluten was able to eat exactly what he wanted and not throw up. GF options can only be ordered as an entree and not the combo plates, but I will still highly recommend since their entree portions are huge! Everything was absolutely delicious. Best GF sesame chicken and house special fried rice!

Have eaten here for 5 years as a celiac & never had issues. For the Karen's trying to trash this family with celiac twins, please note that the grab & go buffet IS NOT SAFE!! I call ahead for sweet & sour chicken, egg fu young & egg drop soup because it is special made to order. Autistic kiddo in the house grabs my food because it's better than he gets elsewhere.

I ordered sesame chicken. I’ve never found GF Chinese food like this. It was legit crispy sesame chicken. I didn’t get sick and I usually have a reaction if something has been fried in the same oil with gluten products. The chicken was dry and it definitely didn’t live up to my favorite restaurants pre-celiac diagnosis, but it was still pretty exciting to find and better than anything I’ve tried to make at home. I would definitely ask them to mark the box GF if you’re ordering with other non GF people because it was hard to tell them apart.

NOT CELIAC FRIENDLY!! I live nearby here & have ordered 4 different GF meals on 5 different occasions for takeout from this place. Each time they (very sketchily) assured me it was definitely gluten-free & that there was no risk of cross contamination. EVERY TIME I’ve gotten cc sick. It hits within a couple hours, so I know it’s not a ton of gluten. But suffering for 2-3 days afterward nonetheless. There is noting Celiac friendly about this place. Not even the non-fried items are safe. Last night was my final attempt to stomach their food, so I ate white rice & egg drop soup. I’ve been in the bathroom since midnight last night. It’s now 3pm the following day. Screw this place!!!

Food was great and the portions were HUGE! I got orange chicken and steamed rice. Did not get sick and will have leftovers for multiple days. First time I had Chinese food in over 6 years. Did not disappoint.

They were very knowledgeable and made our gf dishes separately. The food tasted amazing; however, I did get violently sick from their food so I can only surmise some cross contamination occurred at some point. At first I assumed it was from my new meds but once I later ate the rest of my leftovers and then had the familiar symptoms of being glutened I realized it was their food. I was really disappointed as I was so very hopeful that I found a place that could actually make good Chinese that didn’t have gluten. We ordered a chow fun dish for my daughter who also has celiac and she was fine, I ordered the gf sesame chicken so it might be some dishes are safer than others.

After finding a noodle in my gluten free food, they gave me a free meal. I gave it another try and was pleased I did not get sick. I can even enjoy hot and sour soup gluten free :)

Best chinese food I have had for so long, been searching! Has the GF eggdrop soup, and orange chicken. Some stuff isn't GF on the menu, but you just have to ask what is, and remind them about cross contamination since you have an allergy but either way they can do rice noodles for most of their stuff! Did not get sick and I am happy about that.

I had a craving for some greasy chinese food. Found China Wok on Find Me Gluten Free. So glad I did. They're basically a $1-scoop kind of place. You have to request a GF dish. They can make just about anything GF. Besides the obvious. They made me some Sweet N Sour Chicken fresh. It was so good. Just what I was craving. I'm a celiac and did not get glutened.

I was pet sitting down the street and after seeing reviews on here went to try China wok. I was impressed! the man behind the counter told me they could make almost everything gluten free including sesame chicken and sweet and sour chicken. I got the fried rice and it was amazing. I felt safe,understood and not judged there. This will be my go to Chinese restaurant!

I had seen good reviews regarding being celiac friendly so my littlest and I decided to try it out. Jojo the owner was very very knowledgeable about gluten-free and told me she has many gluten-free customers. I was off my detox so I decided to try the sesame shrimp with brown rice: huge portions & very, very delicious! We will definitely be returning with the entire family best thing I'm not sick!!!

I LOVED this place! I walked in and talked to the main lady, and she was a doll! I told her about my gluten allergy. She handed me a menu and said pick whatever you want and the kitchen will make it for you, gluten free. It was absolutely delicious and I had no reaction at all! Very pleased!

This was our favorite Chinese place before we had to go gluten free for medical conditions. On a whim I stopped in to ask if they would make our meal with gluten free soy if i bought the bottle. After I explained what gluten was the owner was more than happy to help. He even source a gluten free version of his normal soy sauce so everything tastes the same. He even offered to make the hot & sour soup gluten free if I call ahead. Let them know of your allergy and they will let you know what items they can make for you.
