Lin Asian Bar + Dim Sum

I’ve been here a few times and every instance the staff seems to change their mind about what’s gluten free or celiac friendly. When I brought up my confusion to my waitress, she gave me major attitude about how they would know the menu better than me.

The food is good, but I don’t feel that the staff has enough training on allergies.

They have a lot of things marked GF on their menu, but most are fried in a shared fryer. Very limited celiac-safe options. I had congee and marinated pickles.

Online menu had GF items marked, but at the restaurant the waiter told us none of those were safe from cross contamination. The only options according to the chef were the salads and steamed vegi’s with tofu or the salt and pepper tofu on the dinner menu, which is what I had and it was delicious. Very limited for celiac.

This place was delicious and seemed knowledgeable but I got hives while eating there and super sick after. My guess is there’s cross contamination. Their GF menu is also incorrect so make sure you ask for the chef or waiter to talk you through it. No go if you’re celiac.
