CO Restaurant

Altogether different experience than CO in Charlotte. Given how much I love the Charlotte location I’ve given CO Raleigh a couple tries but I have not enjoyed either visit as the GF menu is very limited and have had gluten cross contamination on one of the visits.

Celiac friendly?

No

Has a GF menu and reportedly takes precautions to prevent cross contamination. The Curry Shrimp tested GF with Nima sensor. Pho and Thai Green Curry tested positive for gluten.

Great clean sushi in a nice atmosphere. Small gf menu but items are good. Relatively friendly staff.

Amazing gluten-free options and the food was delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and they have a separate gluten-free menu. 100% worth checking out!

This is my go-to place for GF pho! Since Little Miss Ha closed this is the only place in CHS that I know about that has gf Pho. I’ve eaten here many times - the food is consistently great, it’s in a fun area downtown, and I have never gotten sick!

After eating here many times, the last visit was a hot mess. The waitress had trouble answering my questions. Food came out and I was immediately suspicious (expected grilled shrimp and they had a sauce, and noodles had a separate sauce, sauces are risky!). They have regular and tamari/GF soy sauce so it would be really easy to mess that up in the kitchen. I also forgot to confirm the noodles were cooked in fresh water (my fault but it said GF on the menu). My NIMA tested positive for gluten so I was saved. Manager came out and assured me it was gluten free despite me testing it. We left and I was upset but thankful I trusted my intuition and tested it before getting glutened. Also thankful we can walk directly to Burtons for an actual safe meal.
