Servers very knowledgeable, but do NOT take what is labeled gluten free in the menu as fact. There’s a tiny little asterisk that says the menu items can be MADE gluten free, not that they’re innately gluten free. Had the Tom Kha and Pad Thai with no issues, but they said that if I hadn’t specifically asked it would have contained gluten, even though it’s labeled GF on the menu!! Great food and ambiance though, as long as you’re careful and assertive you should be fine.

I've eaten here successfully several times. The last experience was my first time visiting their new Main Street location and while my server was extremely knowledgeable, I was still glutened. It's been a rough 24 hours to say the least. The food was delicious but I won't be going back. Too bad, as this was one of my go-to restaurants in town.

Looked cute but all the chicken, beef were marinated with gluten containing sauce and it was labeled gluten free on the menu??? Very confusing! Tofu is made in a shared frier too. Shrimp might be ok but is made in a shared steamer with the gluten noodles which I just wasn’t in the mood to risk!

Final review: NOT gluten friendly

They were very careful and even allowed me to substitute the udon noodles for the the glass noodles in a dish. I ordered the Chicken Thai Udon BUT with gf glass noodles instead. Service was excellent! Our server was Skye and food came out quickly. We also got to eat outside.
