They have a substantial gluten free menu. They are not dedicated. We got Pad See Ew, stir fry ginger, and calamari appetizer.

My wife loves pad see ew and this was the best she’s had in town or in a long time. She gave me dirty looks for having seconds. She only had it for seconds and thirds and finished it.

The ginger stir fry was fairly good. I would have liked more ginger. Big ginger lover. But next time I’d like to try a curry.

Calamari was not good. It wasn’t crispy. They probably don’t have a dedicated frier. I would get it again.

We will be going back. If nothing else, my wife will dream of their Pad See Ew.

Elephant Thai is right down the road from us and an amazing option on Doordash! We just tried it out for the first time and of course I was skeptical! It’s so scary ordering food online and crossing your fingers it’s not going to get you glutened.

I added special instructions and asked if my Thai Fried Rice could be made accordingly for a gluten allergy! They succeeded and exceeded my expectations! The food was delicious, generous servings, and no gluten detected!

I also got the Thai Iced Tea which was delicious!

This is my new favorite Thai place. They have a HUGE gluten free menu and also are vegan friendly. My favorites are the Thai fried rice and the pad see eew. I’ve eaten here a ton and have never gotten sick.

We went here for dinner tonight. It was so good. They were very helpful and had excellent service. They have a GF menu, but heads up it does include fried items which they confirmed are not celiac safe. The menu says something about celiac and vegan diners should choose steamed vegetables or tofu for their protein choice. That didn’t make sense to us and when we asked the server, she didn’t know why that was on the menu. She asked another person and she didn’t know either. They both said the chicken is steamed and safe for celiacs. So, maybe there are other dishes on the GF menu with protein that isn’t celiac safe? We’ll definitely be going back and plan to find out more about the statement on the menu.
