EMW China Bistro Express

My review was somehow deleted and converted to 3 stars from 1 star. Here goes again. This establishment is not capable of safely handling gluten-free foods for allergies or celiac. I walked in they had two woks in use and appeared quite busy. I asked how gluten allergies are handled. They said we just clean these woks very well. No separate equipment They are not non porous and lots of risk for cross contamination around, it is a very small strip mall establishment. Celiac or true allergies could not possibly be safe here.

I am so excited to discovery a full gf menu at a Chinese place. Yummy food. Boba! I can't wait to go back to try more of the options I have missed out on these last few years. Enjoyed the eggplant chicken. Excited to try fried rice and orange chicken next. .

I’ve eaten here twice. The first time I ordered through Door Dash and even though I selected gluten free dishes they came back positive for gluten with the Nima sensor. The second time I ate at the restaurant and told them I cannot eat gluten and the woman at the front assured me there would be no cross contamination. It’s been days since I’ve eaten there and I have not gotten sick. Will be going back here again, but not ordering through online delivery.

This place is SO GOOD!! My family comes here often - at least once a month - and they know exactly how to handle gluten free food! Their gluten free menu is extensive, and we get lots of dishes with absolutely no issues. I can’t emphasize enough just how much we LOVE this place!!

Some of our favorites are: Orange chicken House chicken Chicken chow-fun Egg drop soup Spicy eggplant chicken Cashew chicken Kung pao chicken

By far the best Orange Chicken I've ever had and will be visiting again! They have so many options and the portions are massive you definitely could split one entree with 2 people. They offered me soy sauce, and saw my entrees were gf so she gave me gluten free soy sauce which was amazing that they were that vigilant

I’ve eaten here numerous times, and the all the staff appears highly conscientious of cross-contamination, and what you’re asking for when you mention “gluten free.” I have never gotten sick eating here, save for from eating too much food. It’s delicious!

Tons of great options and the staff is wonderful! Always able to answer questions and be specific!! My only caveat is to be careful on certain dishes -- on occasion, the gluten free walnut shrimp came on wonton strips, but the restaurant made another dish/comped it. However, it's some of the best orange chicken I've ever had, gluten free or not. And the tea/boba are delicious!!

We went to the location on Bullard. I think there’s an error with the EMW Express address listed here. Anyhow, it’s amazing! My daughter had orange chicken, it was deep fried, crispy and delicious! I had the veggies and friend rice. Everything was fresh and delicious! Servers were knowledgeable about GF.

They were friendly. Food was amazing!! The reason why I am not giving it 5 stars is because you have to buy the gluten free items separately. However you get A LOT of great gluten free Chinese food for the price.

I haven’t had Chinese food in over five years. I am so happy!!! I had the egg flower soup and the pork chow fun… it was so delicious and everything is made to order. I wish I lived in the area.

My mother and I got the orange chicken, Kung pao chicken and the chow fun chicken noodles all gluten free and It was more than enough food for a family. They give you big portions for honestly not very expensive prices. The food was great and they have their own gluten free menu. Also got a strawberry shake that you can split between two people it was very good. I would 100% recommend this place

This is the best GF Chinese food in town. Lots of GF options including Orange Chicken, broccoli beef, fries rice, noodles, etc. My daughter and I are both Celiac and they do GF catering. Everything is madd fresh. I can’t recommend this restaurant more.

So good. My favorite is the orange chicken. I am celiac and I have eaten here many times without any problems.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Tons of gluten free options! The food was delicious and we had no reactions! Ask for the gluten free menu when you get inside, they do not list the gluten free dishes on the main menu above the counter.

Finally! I can have Chinese food again. As someone with celiacs it’s a wonderful find :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is fantastic. This is the first gf Chinese food I have found since being diagnosed with celiac. Zero reaction, and super yummy food.

The staff is so friendly here. They have a lot gluten free options and do not use MSG. Their sizzling rice soup is delicious! I have never had an issue with cross contamination. I highly recommend this place. They even offer gluten free soy sauce.

The Chinese food is very good! Being celiacs it’s very difficult finding Chinese restaurants but they do have a gluten free menu. However I am still not too sure how safe it is.
